Stable water clusters (SWCs) comprise a newly identified solid phase of water that does not melt at standard temperature and pressure. Hundreds of images of SWCs have been taken with an atomic force microscope and a transmission electron microscope; SWCs occur in both animate and inanimate shapes. Of all the SWC varieties, the ones that produce double-helix water (DHW) have been investigated most often because they are related intimately with health. Meridians are like optical fibers that carry heat from inflammation of internal organs inside the body to the surface. Images of the complete set of 14 meridians can be seen from thermographs taken of ordinary subjects. The body's surface temperature is measured from these thermal images and shows hot lines and hot spots associated with known meridians and acupoints. DHW works like a needle in acupuncture. It enables healthy energy (qi) to flow better and to stimulate an intrinsic self-healing mechanism of the body. We believe that DHW can improve a person's health, no matter the health status. We report results of our studies on autism, diabetes, thyroid, brain, and digestive systems. Overall, SWCs show an approximately 80% rate of health improvement efficacy. We have performed long-term control studies showing that DHW can improve energy, concentration, pain, and health. More long-term studies and studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm this highly successful initial attempt to assess and confirm the health benefits of SWCs. Future experiments are proposed that could illustrate the fundamental role that SWCs may play in the meridian system and its relation to the double-helix structure of DNA.

New evidence indicates that hydrogen is quantum delocalized between neighboring water molecules even in the liquid state, predisposing water to proton conduction, especially in confined nanospaces; water nanotubes aligned by collagen fibers fulfill all the criteria for proton superconduction, making them excellent candidates for the meridians of traditional Chinese medicine, as first proposed 15 years ago.

Previously solid-like stable water clusters have been found to exist at room temperature as a
residue from evaporation of a type of pure water. We examined the behavior of the stable water clusters. They
form straight rods, double-helix shapes, and a variety of other structures. Their properties suggest that the water
is a soft-matter state with gel-like behavior. Dipole−dipole models with soft-matter properties are presented to
explain how many of these structures are created.

Several reports have shown that the formation of stable water clusters (SWC) of different sizes
underlie their physical and chemical properties, such as temperature-related density and anomalous melting
at high temperature. Among the SWCs, one produces a double helix (DH), a structure that has been studied
in a variety of biological systems. The major objective of this preliminary study was to investigate the effects
of SWCs on several phenotypic and molecular characteristics of human cancer cell lines. Our previous findings
have demonstrated that very high dilutions of chemical/biological agents, while having no direct observed effects
on human cellular systems, can nevertheless induce molecular and genetic changes that contribute to signaling
by other stimuli. These findings suggested that cells can respond to relatively fewer molecules than physiological
levels comprising of high number of molecules. Accordingly, we hypothesized that treatment of cells with a
water preparation containing SWCs would induce molecular and genetic changes in human cellular systems.
This hypothesis was tested using human melanoma cell lines as a model for an in vitro analysis. We examined
the effect of SWCs on cell viability, proliferation, expression of immune death receptors and response to deathligand−induced apoptosis. In addition, we examined whether genetic changes might have also taken place. The
preliminary findings demonstrate that treatment of melanoma cell lines with SWCs inhibits cell proliferation,
upregulates the expression of death receptors, sensitizes the tumor cells to FasL-induced apoptosis, and selectively
modifies gene products that regulate growth and the apoptotic pathways.

adjuvant treatments
Lung cancer is the most frequently diagnosed tumor in Western countries. We present in this study
three cases of patients with lung cancer in advanced stages of lung cancer with poor responses to treatment
with conventional cancer chemotherapy, radiation, and surgical oncology. In these cases, we applied oncological
hyperthermia treatment both locally and systemically, and we achieved an improvement in the outcomes
of the treatments that were applied. Further, tumor size was reduced, thus making room for the application of
stereotaxic radio surgery to achieve tumor stage regression. These are the first results obtained in our center
in which combination therapies were employed such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgical oncology, along
with the use of hyperthermia, and high-precision radio surgery.

In a Panama clinic, We examined 13 children, aged 5−19 years, diagnosed with Autism Spectrum
Disorder (ASD) of varying degrees of severity. We simultaneously studied the healing effect of stable water clusters
(SWC) with double helix configuration water (DHW) on these subjects, both immediately and over a 12-weeks
period. At each visit, initial and follow-up, we took two sets of thermographs for each subject, one before the
SWC treatment and one after 15 minutes of the SWC treatment. The immediate effect in both the initial visit
and the follow-up visit was observed as a temperature changes along different meridians after 15 minutes. We
observed, in particular, the six yang meridians ST, GB, SI, LI, BL, and SJ and their respective acupoints. For
long-term effects over 12 weeks, we used a 10-point health questionnaire completed during the initial visit and
the follow-up visit. This questionnaire provided an interpretation of the health improvement of each child as
observed by a parent or guardian. All 13 subjects showed quantitative improvement in physiological and social
aspects. From our findings with this small number of 8 patients, suggest a reliable method for early diagnosis/
detection and also an effective treatment of ASD.

Despite large-scale investment and decades of research and clinical application, conventional cancer
treatment protocols (that include chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery) have failed to yield significant results
in the battle against cancer. Cancer statistics have been used throughout to represent the successes and failures
to date with the purpose of highlighting the need for change. Some of the downfalls of conventional approaches
include induction of toxicity, suppression of immune response, triggering of cancer resistance, and numerous
other side effects. These treatments are also capable of causing physical damage at the cellular, tissue, and organ
levels. In many cases, these treatments, at best, are given not for their curative but for their palliative effects.
In that context, we discuss here the relevance of embracing non-toxic, alternative cancer treatments that are
effective and do not harm the body.
The philosophy that forms the foundation for alternative cancer treatment approaches is discussed in detail,
including the Seven Key Principles of Cancer Therapy. These principles define an alternative cancer treatment
protocol that includes the fundamental elements that sustain health: the absence of toxins, a well-tuned immune
system, appropriate levels of oxygenation, optimal nutritional status, suppression of pathogenic elements, and
the maintenance of mental and spiritual integrities. Healing the disease and ignoring the body does not work
for cancer treatment.
The sono-photo dynamic therapy (SPDT) method is described, highlighting its mechanism of action. SPDT
is a method in which specific sound and light wavelengths are used to activate a porphyrin-like sensitizer that
absorbs selectively into cancer cells. The generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) destroy the tumor cell, damage
the tumor vasculature, and induce an inflammatory response that recruits the cancer-suppressed immune system.
Here, the utilization of this method, along with the other Seven Principles of Cancer Therapy is illustrated,
with chosen case studies that demonstrate the value of treating patients with alternative cancer treatments.
