Radiowave Therapy Clinic

StressedOut — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 17:06:34 GMT

Has anybody heard of this clinic or had any experience with it? It's a private cancer centre in Clarmont, Western Australia. I don't think I can post the website here, so google it to find it. Caitlin

Hi All, Those following this discussion may find this information of interest: http://www.nhmrc.gov.au/media/releases/2005/review-microwave-cancer-therapy 'The Review Committee on Microwave Cancer Therapy undertook a comprehensive assessment of the methods used by Dr Holt, including examination of Dr Holt's past and present patient records. The committee also examined all published scientific evidence on microwave cancer therapy. The review committee found no scientific evidence to support the use of microwaves in treating cancer, either alone or when combined with other therapies.' Kind regards, Felix Cancer Connections Coordinator

Peer reviews are not reliable in discounting new techniques, especially in the field of medical research. History has many examples of new findings being discredited by establishment. Google "Helicobacter pylori" and "Barry Marshall" and "Robin Warren" and "Nobel Prize" for a recent example relevant to Western Australians (or see http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9576387/ns/health-health_care/t/two-australians-win-nobel-prize-medicine/#.UPNO3CcqaWw) Dr Holt seems to have endorsement from patients but not from peers. ACA segment about this is at http://radiowaveclinic.com/ACA_video.html It would be good to hear from recipients of this treatment on this forum.

I had a mastectomy last week for DCIS. This was picked up at screening mammogram which I had because my eldest sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. I lost another of my sisters to breast cancer 7 years ago. I need to let people know that although I chose to have I guess radical surgery to reduce my chances of ending up like my sisters; my sister decided after lumpectomy and sentinal node BX to try the radiowave clinic. She is in her last week of treatment in Perth now but the cancer has recurred already; same size and site and biopsy proven triple negative invasive breast cancer. The radiowave clinic made her sign a nondisclosure agreement before treatment. I tried very hard for her to try regular medical treatments and for a while there she wouldnt talk to me. Unfortunately I didnt find the NHMRC report til after she had started treatment. They've taken $30,000 off her ;doesnt their blurb say non for profit? I feel so angry and so useless. My sister told me she was scared to have regular treatments after watching my other sister go through chemo and radiation. I'm so worried she has missed her chance to control this disease!

I would be very concerned about any procedure requiring a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) to be signed. I could not find a reference to the requirement to sign an NDA on the website - what are they trying to hide? In my view medical procedures (especially one so embedded with skepticism) should be transparent, NDA's should be illegal in this arena and warrant reporting to responsible authorities. Perhaps this is the reason we are yet to get feedback from recipients of the Dr Holt Radiowave Therapy clinic in Perth. The $30,000 seems at odds with the fees posted on the website - http://radiowaveclinic.com/apply-for-treatment/fees-payments/ and the claim to be a non-profit facility - some questions need to be asked!

Just wanted to update the latest on my sister who attended the the Radiowave clinic with early triple negative breast cancer. After 5 months since diagnosis, not only has the cancer recurred at the same site in her breast, her results today show it is metastatic and she has multiple lesions on the lungs. If my sister had used conventional medical treatment she may have been cured or at least had years. Instead because she effectively had no treatment at all by attending the radiowave clinic she may not even last the year.

Hi there.

I’ve have had the Radiowave Therapy in 2013 & 2014. In 2005 I had breast cancer and was successfully treated with chemo and radiation. In 2012 I got tongue and neck cancer (non smoker) it was stage three and I was treated with chemo and radiation. Early 2013 it returned on the opposite side of my neck and it was also stage three. My oncologist said that the chemo and radiation hadn’t worked for me. There was nothing more that they could do for me other than surgery, which I had. I couldn’t have anything else. I found out about the clinic and looked into it throughly. These people were wonderful and completely up front. They said that works for one doesn’t always work for another, just as chemo and radiation didn’t work for me. This treatment has given me 4 years of life with many years I’m sure to come. I am still disease free. I was horrified to hear that the clinic had closed. Of course the people that the clinic were unable to help would’ve had doubts about this treatment but the many many people that they have helped certainly would feel the same way as me. It’s such a shame to see this treatment unavailable. Just as chemo and radiation doesn’t help everyone, either does Radiowave Therapy but isn’t it worth it to try?!

Hi by chance do you know if they have moved? Or been shut down.? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there.

Yes sadly, they have permanently closed and as I understand are doing more research. I really hope that they will open their doors again soon and continue this treatment.
Kind regards.

You and the committee have your facts wrong. Dr Holt has never received a fair and objective study. However, there are dozens of his patients that state they are free of cancer for many years. Their interviews are online.

The Australians are just as greedy as the American Medical Mafia, Dr Holt's charge for 3 weeks of treatment: $2700. A single chemotherapy treatment $4000. Chemotherapy is the most profitable department of every hospital that offers chemotherapy.

Most of Dr Holt's patients come to him as a last resort. He has meso patients clear of cancer for 30 years.

Do your due diligence. Get the facts. Good luck

I well remember this issue. it was broadcast on all the TV networks. I phoned the clinic at the time for a friend. The receptionist was in the RAAFR like I was. She verified the fact the treatment worked. After the TV aired the story, the following day a helicopter flew over the site & captured thousands of peopled lined up 4 blocks away trying to get into the clinic. Many many people of all ages who had treatment claimed their cancer was cured. But As Health Minister, Tony Abbott closed the story down. Beholden to the big pharmaceutical drug companies, Abbott sacrificed the lives of countless millions. Evil knows no bounds!

Unfortunately, sometimes the immune system is so weak from previous treatment or the cancer that no amount of treatment will work. Got to get it in the early stages

Hi there.

I went over to Perth in 2013 and 2014 to have the Radiowave therapy. I had SCC on my tongue and in my neck. I did have the usual conventional treatment first. I had very invasive surgery twice and very aggressive Radio therapy and chemo and it still came back in my neck, on the other side, less than 6 months later. There was nothing else that the doctors could do for me other than surgery so, that’s what I did. Both times they went in and took 45 nodes from my neck, both sides, both times the result was, 5 positive nodes to stage 3. My decision to go to Perth was an easy one for me. If I hadn’t gone and had this amazing treatment, I can almost guarantee that I wouldn’t be here today considering how aggressive and advanced the cancer was. Conventional medicine didn’t work for me and I didn’t bag it to anyone. It infuriates me when I see, that people can run this treatment down because it didn’t work for them or a loved one. I found the staff and doctors over there, never gave me a guarantee that this treatment would work. They were always up front. My uncle had bowel cancer the year before I went over. He sent over all of medical history for his cancer and they told him that they couldn’t help him. They were honest! Unfortunately the clinic closed its doors In 2015. So many people have missed out on this amazing treatment. The government should be ashamed of itself. I could sing the praises of the staff, the treatment, the facility, and the honesty of this place from the roof tops. They really had such success and now this gem is gone.

Hi there,

Kaylene, may I ask what the name of the clinic was? I'm gutted it's been closed down.

My father mentioned Dr Holt when I was first diagnosed with cancer twenty years ago. Mine wasn't advanced so there wasn't a need for me to research the clinic but I've committed it to memory ever since.

I'm making enquiries for a dear friend who has multiple myeloma and it is aggressive. I am sincerely hoping I can find some leads for her. Does anyone know another clinic that provides similar treatment? She is based in Sydney and has unfortunately had every reaction possible to her chemo.

I'm hoping there is someone who can help her before she becomes too unwell to travel.

Any pointers are much appreciated as I'm struggling to find useful information.

Hi there. I’m so sorry to hear about your friend.
The name of the clinic was just, The Radiowave Clinic.

It was situated in Claremont in Western Australia.
unfortunately it closed down in 2015.
Im pretty sure, that if you Google radiowave clinics from my understanding, there’s one in Germany…over that way, that does the treatment but, they do not have Dr Holts formula. This clinic has given me an extra 11 years, with many more to come I’m sure. I would love to be able to contact Ray Martin, he was the person that interviewed Dr Holt years ago. He truly believed in this treatment. Maybe he could do something to get the medical association to take another look at this life saving treatment?? For those who read this, remember that chemo and radiation isn’t the be and end all. It didn’t work for me that time. I’m here because of radiowave therapy, no doubt. We all need options, not everything works for everyone. Dr Holt did want this treatment included with conventional medicine, from what I believe.
Best of luck to your friend.
