Dear Mr. Freud,
I am Prof. R. E., an oral and maxillofacial surgeon from Vienna. I understand your concern regarding the delayed delivery of the FDA-approved red food color E162 for your cancer treatment. I share your urgency in securing this substance as soon as possible.
The red beetroot extract, also known as Betanin, is a natural source of E162 and has been identified as a potent chemopreventive agent against various types of cancer [1-8]. The extract’s primary constituent, betanin (1), is responsible for its red color [10, 11].
In Vienna, you may find the red beetroot extract in health food stores or pharmacies. Alternatively, you could contact local markets that specialize in organic and natural products. Some herbalists might also carry this extract. I recommend checking with them as well.
If you are unable to locate the red beetroot extract locally, you may consider importing it from other countries where it is more readily available. The United States, for instance, has extensive research on the cytotoxic effects of red beetroot extract against human prostate (PC-3) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines [12]. You could explore purchasing it from a reputable supplier there and have it shipped to Vienna.
It is essential to note that while the red beetroot extract has shown promise in cancer chemoprevention, further studies are needed to evaluate its potential when used alone or in combination with other anticancer drugs like doxorubicin (adriamycin) [12]. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new treatment regimen.
I hope this information is helpful and wish you the best of luck in securing the red beetroot extract for your cancer treatment. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Prof. R. E.

Dear Mr. Freud,
I have carefully reviewed your medical history, which dates back to the late 19th century and includes various treatments for a malignant tumor in your maxillary region. Your case is indeed complex and has involved multiple surgeries, radiotherapy, and alternative treatments. I would like to discuss the current state of cancer research and potential alternative treatments based on the latest literature.
Firstly, I would like to acknowledge that your medical history predates many recent advancements in cancer treatment. However, taking into account the newest publications, I might treat you differently in 2024 than I did in 1938.
Your case is particularly interesting because of your association with Sigmund Freud and his openness to alternative treatments. In our ongoing search for effective chemopreventive agents, I would like to bring your attention to a recent study published by Govind J. Kapadia et al. (2013) that explores the cytotoxic effect of red beetroot extract on human prostate (PC-3) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines.
The researchers compared the cytotoxic effect of red beetroot extract with doxorubicin (Adriamycin), an anticancer drug, due to their similar chemical structures. The red beetroot extract, also known as Betanin, has been identified as a potent chemopreventive agent in previous studies. This finding is significant because it suggests that natural compounds like red beetroot extract could potentially reduce the risk of cancer or even enhance the effectiveness of conventional treatments like doxorubicin while mitigating its toxic side-effects.
Another alternative treatment worth mentioning is photodynamic therapy (PDT), which involves the use of light to activate a photosensitizing agent that selectively destroys cancer cells. PDT has shown promising results in various types of cancer, including head and neck cancers, and could potentially be an effective option for treating recurrent or residual tumors.
Regarding your current situation, I would recommend discussing these alternative treatments with your oncologist to determine if they could be beneficial for you. It is essential to consider the potential risks and benefits of each treatment option carefully and in consultation with your healthcare team.
I hope this information provides you with a better understanding of the latest advancements in cancer research and alternative treatments. I am here to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
Sincerely,
**Hans Pichler (1
