http://www.envita.com/conditions-we-treat/cancer/stage-4cancer/ - Stage 4 Cancer is also known as Stage IV Cancer, which spread to various sites in the body. It is a complex type of cancer to treat, and it can involve many organ systems. Envita’s vast area of technologies options gives stage 4 cancer patients the most complete approach to their cancer.

What To Do When Chemo Stops working In
Stage 4 Cancer
Avoiding apoptosis, the naturally-occurring method by which the body rids itself of damaged or unwanted
cells, is one way that cancer and stage 4 cancer develops and progresses.
Apoptosis is triggered by cell stress, DNA damage, developmental cues, and other signals from within the
body. Unfortunately, we commonly see cells in cancer patients diverting this process. And in doing so
their cancers are able to survive, continue to develop, and even spread.
In short, the body already has the equipment to rid itself of cancer; so the question is “why are stage 4
cancer patients diverting apoptosis?”
Mutations Bring About Stubborn and Resistant Stage 4 Cancers
Well, let’s consider how apoptosis is triggered. There are two basic ways:
 From within the cell
 From outside the cell
For apoptosis to be triggered from within, the process requires a protein, p53. Mutations to the p53
protein gene can cause it to become inactive, thereby preventing normal, healthy apoptosis. This type of
mutation is seen in almost 50 percent of all human cancer. Preventing such mutation is a good step
toward improving the overall results of treatment.

2. Stage 4 Cancers Can Dodge the Silver Bullet of Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy and radiation cause DNA damage to cells by affecting their DNA. But, because DNA
mutation apoptosis triggers rely on p53, if the p53 is itself mutated, apoptosis may never occur - saving
cancer cells from what would be imminent destruction.
There are many clinical studies that show that customary protocols are seeing cancer progressions and
recurrences for just this reason. By employing advanced nutritional treatments to prevent p53 oncogene
mutation, Envita works hard with patients to help their bodies enjoy normal and healthy apoptosis.
Stage 4 cancer treatments fail repeatedly when treatment protocols are implemented, which focus on
symptoms and effects alone. In reality, these battles are most often won by attacking the causes directly.
Our chances of success increase considerably when measures are taken to eliminate deficiencies in
nutrition, immunology, and the ability to eliminate toxins.
Launching an Attack on Cancer
It is possible to combine treatments to trigger apoptosis from outside the cell, as well as from inside the
cell that do not require p53. In doing so, apoptosis may be achieved in cancer cells that had previously
been considered “resistant” to traditional treatments. Envita works vigorously to capitalize and even
further this approach and its subsequent results. Attacking apoptosis form outside the cell is essential for
stage 4 cancer patients as chemotherapy has usually stopped working.
Envita provides its patients with mitochondria dysfunction support with the necessary nutrients and
treatments to reestablish normal healthy function. More than a decade of experience dealing with the
most difficult stage 4 cancers has provided insight as to which treatments are most successful in helping
the body attack and eliminate cancer cells.
The Better the Treatment – the Better the Result
Envita’s Comprehensive Smart Oncology® (link to Envita cancer home page) program integrates
successful oncology combinations with our aggressive natural therapies that affect apoptosis in cancer
cells by using tumor destruction methods that actually rely solely on p53. Visit our PPMR process (link to
