A single gene turns colorectal cancer cells back into normal tissue in mice Anti-cancer strategies generally involve killing off tumor cells. However, cancer cells may instead be coaxed to turn back into normal tissue simply by reactivating a single gene, according to a study published June 18th in the journal Cell. Researchers found that restoring normal levels of a human colorectal cancer gene in mice stopped tumor growth and re-established normal intestinal function within only 4 days. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in developed countries, accounting for nearly 700,000 deaths worldwide each year. Up to 90% of colorectal tumors contain inactivating mutations in a tumor suppressor gene called adenomatous polyposis coli (Apc). "We wanted to know whether correcting the disruption of Apc in established cancers would be enough to stop tumor growth and induce regression," says first author Lukas Dow of Weill Cornell Medical College.

Matcha Matcha-Schale Matcha-Pulver Matcha (jap.: 抹茶 „pulverisierter Tee“) ist ein zu feinstem Pulver vermahlener Grüntee, der in der japanischen Teezeremonie verwendet wird. Er hat eine intensive, grüne Farbe und einen lieblich süßlichen, in späteren Pflückungen leicht herben Geschmack. Der für Matcha vorgesehene Grüntee (Tencha) wird von Teesträuchern geerntet, die in der Regel vier Wochen vor der Ernte beschattet werden. Matcha gilt als eine besonders edle Teesorte und ist entsprechend hochpreisig. Zubereitung[Bearbeiten] Cha-sen 1 bis 2 Gramm des Pulvers werden in eine Matcha-Schale gegeben, mit 60 bis 100 ml heißem Wasser übergossen und mit einem Bambusbesen, Cha-sen genannt, schaumig geschlagen. Das Wasser sollte eine Temperatur von etwa 80°C haben und nicht zu hart sein. Je nach Geschmack kann man den Tee mit einem höheren Wasseranteil milder und mit mehr Tee kräftiger anrichten.

Is This Fruit Extract 10,000 Times Better Than Chemotherapy? Over a quarter of a century ago a study was performed on the seeds of the Soursop fruit, also known as graviola, which at that time demonstrated such amazing cancer-fighting potential, that those exposed to it within the conventional medical community looked upon it with complete incredulity. Published in the Journal of Natural Products in 1996, Compound 1, one of five extracted from the seed of the graviola fruit, was found to be “selectively cytotoxic to colon adenocarcinoma cells (HT-29) in which it was 10,000 times the potency of adriamycin.” Adriamycin is the trade name for the chemoagent doxorubucin and is known by the nickname “red devil,” due to both its deep red color and terrible side effects, which include life-threatening, even fatal damage to the cardiovascular system. This abject lack of “selective cytotoxicity” — the ability to kill only the cancer cells and not healthy ones – is what makes Adriamycin so dangerous. According to the researchers The study authors concluded

Cannabinoids, like those found in marijuana, occur naturally in human breast milk (NaturalNews) Woven into the fabric of the human body is an intricate system of proteins known as cannabinoid receptors that are specifically designed to process cannabinoids such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), one of the primary active components of marijuana. And it turns out, based on the findings of several major scientific studies, that human breast milk naturally contains many of the same cannabinoids found in marijuana, which are actually extremely vital for proper human development. Cell membranes in the body are naturally equipped with these cannabinoid receptors which, when activated by cannabinoids and various other nutritive substances, protect cells against viruses, harmful bacteria, cancer, and other malignancies. And human breast milk is an abundant source of endocannabinoids, a specific type of neuromodulatory lipid that basically teaches a newborn child how to eat by stimulating the suckling process.

12.02.2008 - Broccoli compound targets key enzyme in late-stage cancer By Robert Sanders, Media Relations | 02 December 2008 BERKELEY — An anti-cancer compound found in broccoli and cabbage works by lowering the activity of an enzyme associated with rapidly advancing breast cancer, according to a University of California, Berkeley, study appearing this week in the online early edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Indole-3-carbinol, or I3C, is a chemical compound found in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables and which is known to stop the growth of breast cancer cells. The compound, indole-3-carbinol, is already undergoing clinical trials in humans because it was found to stop the growth of breast and prostate cancer cells in mice. The new findings are the first to explain how indole-3-carbinol (I3C) stops cell growth, and thus provides the basis for designing improved versions of the chemical that would be more effective as a drug and could work against a broader range of breast as well as prostate tumors.

L'étude russe qui prouve que les OGM stériliseront l'humanité au bout de 3 Générations On soupçonnait déjà que la perte de la fertilité était au nombre des graves dégâts occasionnés, une étude récente va dans ce sens. Une étude qui, si elle n'est pas étouffée, pourrait avoir un grand impact sur les décisions à prendre à l'avenir! En 2009, près de 3% des terres agricoles étaient couvertes d'OGM avec 134 millions d'hectares, selon l'ISAAA, qui, chaque année, fait état des cultures des plantes transgéniques dans le monde. Et le dossier des OGM alimentaires - dont de très nombreuses pages restent encore floues à ce jour - pourrait bien s'alourdir prochainement alors qu'une nouvelle pièce en provenance de Russie est sur le point d'y être ajoutée. Celle-ci prend la forme d'une étude, dont les résultats les plus frappants viennent d'être présentés à la presse en Russie dans le cadre de l'ouverture dans ce pays des Journées de Défense contre les Risques Environnementaux. A la fin de cette première phase, l'ensemble des quatre groupes a eu en tout 140 petits. Source : Mediapart
