Elimination of Colon Cancer Stem-Like Cells by the Combination of Curcumin and FOLFOX. ZestNow.com Releases Report That Vitamin D May Prevent Breast Cancer. (PRWEB) December 14, 2011 A daily dose of 4000-8000 IU of vitamin D reduces by half the risk of breast cancer and other diseases according to new studies. These dosages far exceed the commonly stated minimum daily requirements. Women over 50 are at greatest risk for breast cancer and are also least likely to spend substantial time outdoors absorbing vitamin D from the sun.

"We found that daily intakes of vitamin D by adults in the range of 4000-8000 IU are needed to maintain blood levels of vitamin D metabolites in the range needed to reduce by about half the risk of several diseases - breast cancer, colon cancer, multiple sclerosis, and type 1 diabetes,” said Cedric Garland, DrPH., professor of family and preventive medicine at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. The recommended minimum daily value (the figure used on supplements) is still only 600 IU a day. 4000 IU a day is now considered safe by the National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine.

The Chinese herb Ganoderma kills small-cell lung cancer cells that are resistant to many chemotherapy drugs, and it may prove a life-saving addition to current cancer therapy, according to a new study in Cancer Letters.

Small-cell lung cancer is particularly difficult to treat because the cancer spreads rapidly throughout the body, rather than forming large tumors that can be removed surgically. To treat this cancer, doctors typically turn to chemotherapy, which attacks cancer cells throughout the body. Chemotherapy can have severe side effects though, because it attacks healthy cells as well as cancerous ones. And over time, lung cancer can become resistant to the effects of chemotherapy, rendering it virtually ineffective. Patients who have been told their cancer is not treatable often turn to alternative therapies, including herbs.

Ganoderma lucidum has been studied for its effects on leukemia, as well as on cancers of the breast, bladder, colon, and prostate.

Clinical Trials on Natural Medicine for Cancer | The Eden Prescription. Download PDF A Revolution in Natural Medicine Has Started (or rather, Restarted) We are now in the beginning stages of a revolution in natural medicine against cancer. You probably won’t hear about it in the evening news or read about it in your favorite magazine. But if you go looking carefully for the data on PubMed or www.clinicaltrials.gov (where doctors and researchers look) you will find it impossible to miss. This means that from a total base of 300 trials on natural medicine for cancer, only 20% (62 trials) have been completed so far.

Positive results are also pouring in from pre-clinical trials and studies. Finding the Right Dose is Critical – A Case Study in Green Tea Identifying a great new anti-cancer plant in the lab is only meaningful if we can find out what concentration of its extract is needed to kill off cancer cells, and then actually achieve those levels in the tumors of real cancer patients. Who is Behind the Revolution in Natural Medicine? , Dr. Fast forward to 2011. New Treatment for Cancer Tumors - Features. Scientists at Tel Aviv University have come up with a new method of treating cancer tumors that may permanently destroy them and increase the odds of preventing the return of the disease. The research team of Professor Yona Keisari (TAU Sackler Faculty of Medicine) and Professor Itzhak Kelson (TAU Department of Physics and Astronomy) based the method on "tumor ablation" -- the process of destroying a tumor inside the body.

The team developed a radioactive wire, less than an inch long and about the width of a pin. When inserted into a solid tumor, the wire releases lethal radioactive atoms that irradiate the tumor from the inside out. As it breaks down, the tumor itself releases antigens which trigger an immune response against the cancer cells, Keisari explains. The research has been published in several journals, including the Translational Research journal. This second method involves the insertion of electrodes into tumors, which then emit electrical currents.

Modified ecstasy 'attacks blood cancers' Modified ecstasy could one day have a role to play in fighting some blood cancers, according to scientists. Ecstasy is known to kill some cancer cells, but scientists have increased its effectiveness 100-fold, they said in Investigational New Drugs journal. Their early study showed all leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma cells could be killed in a test tube, but any treatment would be a decade away. A charity said the findings were a "significant step forward". In 2006, a research team at the University of Birmingham showed that ecstasy and anti-depressants such as Prozac had the potential to stop cancers growing. The problem was that it needed doses so high they would have been fatal if given to people. The researchers, in collaboration with the University of Western Australia, have chemically re-engineered ecstasy by taking some atoms away and putting new ones in their place.

One variant increased cancer-fighting effectiveness 100-fold. 'Soapy' cells 'Genuinely exciting' Lemon Grass kills Cancer. A drink with as little as one gram of lemon grass contains enough citral to prompt cancer cells to commit suicide in the test tube according to new Israeli research. At first, Benny Zabidov, an Israeli agriculturalist who grows greenhouses full of lush spices on a pastoral farm in Kfar Yedidya in the Sharon region, couldn’t understand why so many cancer patients from around the country were showing up on his doorstep asking for fresh lemon grass. It turned out that their doctors had sent them. “They had been told to drink eight glasses of hot water with fresh lemon grass steeped in it on the days that they went for their radiation and chemotherapy treatments,” Zabidov told ISRAEL21c. “And this is the place you go to in Israel for fresh lemon grass.” It all began when researchers at Ben Gurion University of the Negev discovered last year that the lemon aroma in herbs like lemon grass kills cancer cells in vitro, while leaving healthy cells unharmed.

The research team was led by Dr. Modified Citrus Pectin. Other common name(s): citrus pectin, Pecta-Sol®, MCP Scientific/medical name(s): none Modified citrus pectin (MCP) is a form of pectin that has been altered so that it can be more easily absorbed by the digestive tract. Pectin is a carbohydrate that is made of hundreds or thousands of sugar molecules chemically linked together. It is found in most plants and is particularly plentiful in the peels of apples, citrus fruits, and plums. Animal studies and a couple of uncontrolled human studies have found that MCP may inhibit the spread of prostate cancer and melanoma to other organs. Proponents claim that modified citrus pectin slows or stops the growth of melanoma, a dangerous form of skin cancer, and metastatic prostate cancer (prostate cancer that has spread). Modified citrus pectin is available as a capsule or a powder. Pectin is commonly used as a gelling agent for canning foods and making jellies. This product is sold as a dietary supplement in the United States.

Article originally published online 17 January 2007: It sounds almost too good to be true: a cheap and simple drug that kills almost all cancers by switching off their "immortality". The drug, dichloroacetate (DCA), has already been used for years to treat rare metabolic disorders and so is known to be relatively safe. It also has no patent, meaning it could be manufactured for a fraction of the cost of newly developed drugs.

Posted by PAUL W KINCAID Health , World news Saturday, May 5th, 2012 What do people with cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and influenza all have in common? A Vitamin D deficiency. Why? Lack of direct sunlight exposure. UVB rays exposure is essential for the body to produce vitamin D. Vitamin D is naturally produced by your body’s largest organ, the skin. At least 20 minutes of Sun exposure a day is essential for not only preventing cancer but also for “curing” cancer. In human bodies there is a natural cancer fighting human cell, the mitochondria, but they need to be triggered to be effective. Cancer cells generally express increased glycolysis, because they rely on anaerobic respiration that occurs in the cytosol (lactic acid fermentation) rather than oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria for energy (the Warburg effect), as a result of hypoxia that exists in tumors and malfunctioning mitochondria.

Three out of four Americans are deficient in Vitamin D. -urban runoff. Budwig Diet Center - Natural Alternative Cancer Treatment. FDA Approves First Cancer Vaccine, Heralding a New Era in Treatment. FDA Approves Cancer Vaccine A clump of prostate cancer cells. The blue-green cells are actively growing, whereas the pink ones are in the process of dying by programmed cell death. via Wellcome Image Awards The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday approved its first-ever cancer vaccine, ushering in a new era of cancer treatments. Named Provenge, the drug targets prostate cancer; in clinical trials, it extended the lives of patients about four months compared with a placebo. It's not a cure, nor is it a preventative vaccine like those administered for measles, hepatitis or, more recently, cervical cancer. But it is a therapeutic vaccine, meaning it boosts the patient's own immune system. It is used after prostate cancer has already been diagnosed.

Dozens of other vaccines are being developed for various types of cancer, but Provenge is the first to get the government's stamp of approval. Provenge is intended for men whose prostate cancer has spread throughout the body. New York Times ] World Without Cancer - Worldwithoutcancer.org.uk - B17 Laetrile Vitamin B17.
