-
What is Q-RE?
- Q-RE (Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy) targets the genetic instructions cancer cells use to multiply. It blocks or disrupts these instructions, making the cancer cells unable to grow or function properly. Over time, this can lead to cancer cells dying off naturally because they are no longer able to survive.
-
How does Q-RE therapy work?
- Q-RE, now known as Q Restrain, states that, in simple terms, "silencing cancer" means stopping cancer cells from growing and spreading without necessarily destroying them right away. Think of it like putting cancer into a deep sleep, where it can’t divide, spread, or cause harm.
- While silencing cancer doesn’t mean it’s instantly gone, it means the cancer is weakened, inactive, and unable to grow, allowing the immune system and other treatments to clear it out more effectively.
-
Why don’t most doctors do this or offer this?
- In the United States, if a practitioner accepts insurance, he or she cannot offer non-FDA-approved therapies.
-
What are the risks of Q-RE?
- Temporary Flu-Like Symptoms
- Possible tumor swelling due to an immune attack on cancer cells (Tumor Lysis Syndrome is rare but possible in high tumor burden cases)
- Some patients experience increased fatigue as the immune system is activated.
- Herxheimer Reaction (Detox Effect)
-
How often do I need to receive Q-RE?
- You can receive Q-RE every 4 months, but the ongoing testing and CTCs will determine with more certainty.
-
Is Q-RE a contraindication for any other cancer treatments?
- While Q-RE is compatible with most treatments, specific intense immunosuppressive therapies or chemotherapy may reduce its effectiveness.
-
How is it working?
- CTC monitoring will effectively guide on the progress being made
-
How long can I expect the RGCC program to last?
- Once you have cancer, you will always have cancer. This means that this is a lifelong commitment to controlling your cancer.
-
Can I do only RGCC Testing and Q-RE Treatment, or do I have to do the other recommended supportive treatments (i.e., EBOO, medications, supplements, etc.)?
- You will be presented with a Good, Better, Best option. The choice is yours to be made. Once your results are discussed with your practitioner, you can make the best decision for you.
-
How much is the effectiveness impacted if I do the recommended supportive therapies, medications, supplements, etc.?
- If you were just to do testing and Q-RE alone, there would be 78.2% clinical effectiveness. That means the cancer is diminished or does not progress.
-
What if the follow-up testing does not show or indicate improvement?
- Since the testing is a snapshot, we will better understand if we have all the information. This means that if your CTCs go up rather than down and you are 100% compliant, there could be another cancer we have not seen until now.
-
Will the DHT Blocker cause fatigue, decreased energy, motivation, libido, etc.?
- A DHT blocker doesn’t get rid of testosterone; it just stops too much testosterone from turning into DHT. This helps protect your hair, prostate, and overall hormone balance without lowering testosterone levels.
-
How often will I meet with a provider for RGCC program follow-ups?
- You will have a dedicated RGCC coordinator with whom you can communicate as often as you need. You must meet with the coordinator every 4 weeks and your provider once every 4 months.
- Additionally, it is strongly recommended that you work with the health coach at least 2 times per month because of the importance of lifestyle modifications.
-
What, if any, lifestyle changes will I have to make?
- Cancer is no different than any other disease regarding lifestyle modifications. The goal is to decrease systemic inflammation so the body can be as effective as possible.
- Studio Detox should be a way of life
- Stress reduction
- Proper sleep
- Adequate hydration
- Exercise 3-5 times a week
