Agness is 100% correct. A doctor from the University of Michigan in 2000 started treating advanced cancer patients with a copper chelator called Ammonium Tetrathiomolybdate in the year 2000. He got some long tem remissions.

Cancer is very dependent on copper. Lets say a woman has a lumpectomy and chemo. There are still cancer cells and stem cells left. They start to split by cell division.
At first oxygen simply diffuses along the small tumour. Once the cancer reaches a size of one million cells this is no longer effective and the cancer gets a too low oxygen tension to support it. Certain Hypoxic proteins emerge and these proteins stimulate other proteins and ultimately you ger Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor protein to induce the production of blood vessels for the cancer. Many of these proteins are copper dependent including Vascular Endothelial growth factor.

Brewer used the Ammonium Tetrathiomolybdate, 20mg six times a day for months to lower the copper level by 80%. With 20% of the base copper level left you have enough copper to support life but not enough to support making blood vessels for the tumour.

He would measure the copper level by measuring the copper binding protein called Ceruloplasmin. A normal Ceruloplasmin level might be 35mg per 100cc seum. Brewer tried to get this level down to about 7mg % using the copper chelator.

A physician named Linda Vadhat is doing this with some triple negative breast cancer patients and some have remained NED for years.

Look up Ammonium Tetrathiomolybdate or TM on the internet. There are compounding pharmacies that specialize in making up the 20mg capsules as the chemical is unstable and has to be specially made. The cost now is about 6 dollars a capsule and you have to take one capsule 6 times a day for 4 to six months. However once you get the copper level (ceruloplasmin level) down to 20% of normal you can keep it down by taking 50mg elemental Zinc three times a day and zinc salts are cheap.
When you take zinc three times a day a protein called Metalothionein forms in the intestine and this prevents copper absorbtion keeping the copper level down. It is well worth a try.
