Clinical Results with the Peskin Protocol
Physicians utilizing the Peskin Protocol report significant improvements in patient outcomes across a broad spectrum of conditions.

"The Hidden Story of Cancer has provided a great breakthrough in the treatment of our cancer patients. The addition of 5-725 mg Peskin Protocol EFA capsules t.i.d. along with our protocol has brought a dramatic difference; unbelievable and rapid improvement:

  • Patient 1: 80-lb female with stage III lung cancer was in full remission in 90 days.
  • Patient 2: Two inoperable brain tumors (1 cm), unable to speak or navigate - had 40% reduction of both tumors in 60 days. Patient is able to walk and speak almost normally.
  • Patient 3: 8cm x 3 cm liver tumor told by his physician he had 30 days survival time. In 60 days of therapy, patient gained 30 pounds, 80% of tumor had calcified. Patient felt strong enough to return to work.
  • Patient 4: P.A.D. unable to walk more than 30 feet; with seven days of Peskin Protocol EFAs, she could walk four blocks.

"In ten days time, one can see a physical improvement in patient condition. We believe Peskin Protocol EFAs are the ‘missing link' in cancer therapy. The cost of treating our patients has dropped from $20,000 (US) per month to $1,500 per month by eliminating the use of eight IVs daily. We saw no side effects. Within two weeks, patients typically see a great physical and mental improvement."

"I have been using the Peskin Protocol EFAs (YES brand) for the last five months. I have had excellent reports from patients. Previously, I was recommending fish oil to almost all my patients. Some improved, specifically those with joint pains and heart disease. However, I did not see any improvement in my diabetic/HTN patients or those w/dermatologic problems. In fact, the latter group actually got worse. These patients had eczematous type rashes and psoriasis.

"After reviewing Brian's data regarding the concentration ratios of parent Omega 6 to parent Omega 3 in various tissues, it all made sense – five out of six of my worst dermatologic cases showed good to very good improvement in as little as three months with Peskin Protocol.

"Just taking Omega 3 alone (flax or fish oil) without regard to the appropriate balance can adversely affect diabetic patients. This was proven in two of my patients. These patients kept meticulous records regarding their blood sugars and the effect of diet on their glucose levels. Without changing their diets, they noticed significant elevations in the glucose levels after Omega 3 fatty acids for three to four months; one pt. had an increase of 40 points.

"After starting the YES balanced blend of parent Omega 6 and 3, not only did their BS normalize to more normal values, but they felt better overall and both commented that their energy level improved.

"Use of the Peskin Protocol in clinical practice has made a strong believer out of me, and I will continue to recommend this product to ALL my patients and refer them to Peskin's research for more information."

Family and Integrative Medicine, Poughkeepsie, New York


"Having implemented EFA supplementation for over 25 years, clinical results were mediocre until I began using the Peskin Protocol. Dr. Rudin's work with flax oil was important but lacked clinical effectiveness; likewise with Horrobin regarding GLA from Borage, Black Currant, and Evening Primrose oils. Unlike the studies suggested, fish oil, too, was disappointing. Finally, I read The Hidden Story of Cancer which introduces the Peskin Protocol. Once implemented, I experienced clinical success.

"Although Brian's book deals extensively, but not exclusively, with cancer prevention, utilizing his protocol I have seen positive results (dermatological, cardiovascular, pediatric, and neurological) in over 100 of my patients."

Abram Ber, MD
Preventive Medicine/Homeopathic Physician

"As a practicing cardiologist, I have a strong interest in both the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease. As Brian details, the paramount discovery by Otto Warburg regarding oxygenation must also be considered the most important physiologic discovery in the cardiovascular disease arena. Given the understanding of Warburg's principles, as amplified and clarified by Brian, I have been enabled and am encouraged to incorporate this information in the form of "Nutritional Life Style" recommendations for my patients. Brian has advanced the basic science principles of Warburg into a practical, cost-effective formula – the Peskin Protocol – for patient care utilizing an increased scientific understanding of Omega 6 and Omega 3 essential fatty acid ratios.

"For those patients in my practice, and others I am aware of (100s), willing to embrace these basic principles, I have seen clinical improvement and success without adverse effects. Brian Peskin, in my opinion, has diligently and carefully "teased out" from the available, published scientific data base the links necessary to explain, understand, and help combat the most prominent cardiovascular disease state faced by patients."
