Abstract

Objective: To provide a retrospective case analyses of Bill Henderson Protocol adherence, a dietary cancer treatment regimen.

Design: Case study analysis based on the National Cancer Institute's Best Case Series approach.

Subjects: Using Mr Henderson's listserv (N = 31,000), members meeting certain criteria were invited to submit case documentation (diagnostic, treatment, outcome information). Ninety-two people responded.

Results: Two people met the Best Case criteria. Both used conventional treatment initially (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy), but later turned exclusively to the Bill Henderson Protocol. Each case perceived benefit. One person eventually passed away. The second has returned to full health.

Conclusions: The 2 cases provide a preliminary, detailed description of Bill Henderson Protocol adherence. They do not provide clear evidence of the protocol's effectiveness but do suggest further research be undertaken to assess the extent to which the Bill Henderson Protocol is followed in real-world settings, including consideration of adherence, side effects, and outcomes.
