Our Therapies

Q-REstrain Therapy

Q-REstrain is a breakthrough in personalized, autologous therapy for cancer—a sophisticated non-manipulated, personalized therapy that targets the specific genetic sequences driving a patient’s cancer, viral infections, or Lyme disease and inhibits expression of those genetic sequences. This innovative personalized, autologous therapy goes beyond traditional approaches by creating a uniquely tailored treatment designed specifically for individual needs.

What is Q-REstrain?

Advanced microRNA for Cancer, Viruses & Lyme

Autologous Therapy

Q-REstrain is completely personalized to the patient. Using a simple blood sample, our laboratory scientists analyze the patient’s specific genetic markers to create a therapy that targets only the desired genes.

Gene Silencing

Q-REstrain utilizes advanced RNA technology to "silence" problematic genetic sequences. This advanced therapy in cancer uses small oligonucleotide molecules that are complementary to specific gene sequences, effectively turning off the signals that allow certain cancers, viruses, or Lyme disease to thrive through precise gene silencing technology. By blocking specific messenger RNA (mRNA) sequences, Q-REstrain prevents proteins essential for cell survival or metabolism from being produced in your body.

Q-REstrain - MicroRNA 1

How Does Q-REstrain Work?

Q-REstrain takes advantage of oligonucleotide molecules – microRNAs isolated by the patient’s sample. The Q-REstrain molecule has a potent ability to block specific mRNA with a very high rate of specificity; therefore expression of only the desired gene is inhibited. 

5-Step Process

Certified RGCC practitioners receive training and support through RGCC college and the RGCC practitioner network.

Step 1:
Consultation

Patient connects with a trained RGCC practitioner who evaluates their case and determines if Q-REstrain is a good fit.

Step 2:
Pre-Testing

Patient completes required diagnostic tests (Oncotrace for cancer or serum lab work for virus/Lyme).

Step 3:
Blood Collection

Patient provides blood sample for personalized therapy development.

Step 4:
Therapy Production

Customized Q-REstrain therapy is created in our state-of-the-art laboratory (14 working days).

Step 5:
Treatment

Patient receives personalized therapy through an RGCC practitioner.

Who is Q-REstrain For?

Q-REstrain therapy offers hope and healing for patients facing multiple challenging conditions:

Cancers

Solid Tumors: Effective for most solid tumor types across various stages Hematologic Malignancies: Blood cancers including leukemias, lymphomas, and myelomas

Note: CNS (central nervous system) cancers are not suitable for Q-REstrain therapy

Viruses

Q-REstrain successfully targets a comprehensive range of viral infections, such as:

Herpes Viruses: HSV1/HSV2, HHV6, Varicella Zoster (shingles), Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), Cytomegalovirus (CMV)

Human Papilloma Virus: HPV-16/18 and HPV-6/11

Hepatitis: Hepatitis B and C viruses

Other Viruses: Coxsackie Virus, HIV, HTLV1

Lyme Disease

Targeted treatment for Lyme disease and associated co-infections, helping patients overcome these complex, chronic conditions.

Therapy Details

For Cancer Patients:

  • Positive RGCC test result confirming circulating tumor cells (CTCs)
  • Test must be within 6 months

For Viral or Lyme Patients:

  • Positive test confirming presence of targeted pathogen
  • PCR or antibody results accepted
  • Test must be within 6 months from a reputable laboratory

Cancer: Maximum of 4 treatments per 12-month period, spaced a minimum of 3 months apart

Viral/Lyme: Maximum of 9 treatments per 12-month period, spaced a minimum of 21 days apart

Important:

  • Q-REstrains work for a long time and can accumulate in the body and build up
  • Multiple Q-REstrain treatments cannot be given on the same day
  • No other therapies are allowed on the same day as a Q-Restrain administration

Mandatory Follow-Up Tests

  • Cancer Patients: Oncotrace or Oncotrail RGCC tests every 3-4 months to monitor CTC status and treatment effectiveness
  • Viral/Lyme Patients: Follow-up testing 4-6 months post-treatment using the same laboratory that ordered the original Q-REstrain

While generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience:

  • Mild headaches
  • Temporary increased fatigue
  • Flu-like symptoms
  • Cancer patients: Possible pain at surgical sites, risk of Tumor Lysis Syndrome with large tumors
  • Viral/Lyme patients: Herxheimer-type reactions, potential co-infection flares

Absolute Contraindications: 

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding 
  • Recent blood transfusion 
  • Recent chemotherapy or radiotherapy (must wait 21 days) 
  • Radioactive seed therapy (permanent contraindication for cancer) 
  • Delta T-Cell therapy (permanent contraindication for cancer) 

Age Restrictions: 

  • Cancer treatment: Children under 12 
  • Viral/Lyme treatment: Children under 5 

Special Considerations 

Patients with large tumor burden require careful evaluation for Tumor Lysis Syndrome risk before treatment.

Patients should consult with their RGCC Practitioner about other potential contraindications.

Clinical Outcomes

Q-REstrain therapy demonstrates remarkable success rates across different conditions:

  • Cancer Patients: 78% positive clinical outcome (complete response, partial response, or stable disease)
  • Virus-Infected Patients: 91% positive clinical outcome
  • Lyme Disease Patients: 95% positive clinical outcome

Clinical outcomes are defined as complete response, partial response, or disease stabilization. Individual results may vary, and success encompasses any positive response, from complete eradication to disease stabilization.

Testimonials

  • "40-year-old female with multiple chronic issues, histamine intolerance, hormone imbalance, Hashimoto’s hypothyroid, chronic fatigue, chronically reactivated EBV. Post Q-Restrain for burgdorferi and bartonella henslae, dramatic reduction in inflammation, her facial appearance changed within weeks of burgdorferi Q-Restrain. Decreased histamine sensitivity, periods and hormones regulated, huge improvement in energy levels and fatigue, decrease in herpetic viral Reactivations."

    Kristen Bailey Mills, MSN, APRN

  • "I first did the Onconomics Plus test and got my results back. It showed how many Circulating Tumor Cells I had and what Medicines, Natural, and Pharmaceuticals would be most effective for treating/killing my particular cancer cells.

    I thank GOD that this was available as the first oncologist wanted to give me two different chemotherapies that wouldn’t have even been effective for me based on this test. So the Integrative Oncologist made my protocol based on my Onconomics Plus and I have been having great results."

    T.G. | Breast Cancer - Stage 1

  • "A friend recommended my RGCC certified practitioner because of his personal success with him. What seemed unmanageable is now manageable under his care. I've been under my practitioner's care for almost 5 years now. I have not had any chemo or radiation in over 18 months and I'm living a normal life. RGCC and my practitioner have tailored my treatment to my body and the results have been amazing. My traditional doctors are stunned by my results and refer to me as a unicorn. "

    C.N. | Pancreatic Cancer - Stage 4

  • "RGCC has been an integral part of my healing journey for the past 5 years. It has allowed me to receive specialized treatments for MY cancer. After being diagnosed with Breast Cancer I felt like I was put on the conveyor belt of conventional therapies. Doctors were not looking at me as a person, just as the disease.

    That's when I began to seek out other therapies. I found an amazing Integrative Doctor who led me to RGCC. As soon as I read the information about RGCC's specialized options for ME, I knew I had found my path.

    Since starting RGCC I have never felt better."

    L.O. | Breast Cancer

  • It is impossible to fully describe the exhausting battle that is faced when you care for a child that is born with Lyme disease and associated illnesses. My daughter was diagnosed at 6 years old, and suddenly my husband and I understood the many struggles she had already faced in her short life.

    Thanks to Q-REstrain and a knowledgeable RGCC-trained, Lyme-Literate Naturopathic Physician, my daughter now has the privilege of having a future. Life isn’t perfect and is, of course, unpredictable. However, with the tools we now have and knowing that Q-REstrain has been highly successful (even after a lifetime of fragile growth and illness as was my daughter’s case), we will not hesitate to come back to Q-REstrain if the need ever arises. Q-REstrain has been a miracle for my family, and helped provide a future for my daughter.

    - C.M.
