Cancer Cures

[Michaelangelica]

Dr. Forsythe's work was compelling and significant enough to convince the FDA to approve, for the first time in history, a cancer-related IND study (Investigational New Drug study) utilizing a dietary supplement. This FDA approved study has been designed to further validate the benefits of Poly-MVA for cancer patients.

i abit amazing for the FDA

Let us know what happens.

Beets can help inhibit aggressive forms of cancer

[Dr. Nancy Malik]

Presence of Syphilis and Sycosis in the person, can lead to cancer in that person.

 

Syphilis is responsible for destruction, disintegration and degeneration. Cells break, disintegrate and degenerate, as do the capsules of the tumour. The malignant property of the cells leads to necrosis followed by pus formation and fistulous openings in the tumour.

 

Sycosis is responsible for proliferation and growth. There is hypertrophy, the cells proliferate and tumours are formed. Initially these tumours are benign and encapsulated but become malignant as the cells proliferate out of proportion.

On the similar lines we have nosodes in Homeopathy.

 

Homeopathy is of the view that whosever has the power to ravage has also the power to cure provided it is homeopathically prepared (potentised). i.e. the seeds of ravage and cure lies together in the substance or drug. It is how we use it.

Yes, they even use caffeine as a sleeping agent. It's clearly a brilliant approach. The only reason it doesn't keep one awake is because homeopathy dilutes the active ingredient so many billions of times that there isn't any of it left.

 

 

Nosodes? Does that mean ineffective tripe that's not supported by any evidence and doesn't work any better than placebo?

OBJECTIVE: To determine the active fraction with anticancer effect in vivo from Nervilia fordii. METHODS: The effective petroleum ether extract and ethyl acetate extract parts preliminary were selected in vitro, then anticancer experiments in vivo were done by S180-mice and H22-mice models. RESULTS: Petroleum ether extract and ethyl acetate extract parts both had obvious anticancer effects to S180-mice and H22-mice, and could prolong H22-mice life. Meanwhile, they could improve the immunoloregulation of mice. CONCLUSION: It is the first time that the petroleum ether extract and ethyl acetate extract of Nervilia foadii are proved to be the effective anticancer fractions in vivo. On this basis, the further studies are needed on active principles or principle group with anticancer effect and the characteristics of this effect in Nervilia foadii.

A vaccine that targets a common virus may stave off glioma tumor regrowth

 

The deadliest and most common type of brain cancer has a strange bedfellow: cytomegalovirus, a kind of herpes present in about 80 percent of the U.S. population. Now scientists are exploiting this coincidence to treat the cancer with a vaccine that targets the virus and slows tumor regrowth.

 

In 2002 scientists showed that cytomegalovirus, or CMV, was active in the brain tumors but not the surrounding healthy tissue of all 27 patients they tested who had glioblastoma multiforme. CMV is dormant and undetectable in most people. Neuroscientist Duane Mitchell of Duke University Medical Center and his colleagues confirmed in 2007 that CMV is active in at least 90 percent of glioblastoma tumors. Now Mitchell’s team has developed an experimental vaccine that triggers the immune system to attack CMV, thereby attacking its tumor tissue home. As reported at the American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting in June, the vaccine, together with radiation and chemotherapy, prevented the brain tumor from reemerging after surgery for 12 months as compared with the typical six to seven months with no vaccine. Patients’ average life span increased from 14 months to more than 20

 

So does this herpes virus cause cancer? The answer is unclear: tumor cells may simply be a fertile ground for growing the virus, as cells such as these often lack the normal immune functions that suppress CMV reproduction. But University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers reported in May that the virus has the ability to take over a cell’s braking mechanism and cause uncontrolled reproduction. Even so, the numbers do not seem to add up: four of five Americans has CMV, but only about one in 30,000 ends up with glioblastoma. And a small number of glioblastoma patients do not have CMV in their tumors.

 

“Most evidence to date does not support CMV being a cancer-causing virus,” Mitchell says. Don Diamond, a virologist at the City of Hope Cancer Center near Los Angeles, agrees: his extensive research on CMV and cancer has convinced him the virus does not cause tumors. But for patients it does not matter whether the connection between herpes and brain cancer is causal or not—the vaccine appears to work. Mitchell hopes to have the vaccine ready for market in a few years.

Vitamin C Shows Promise as Cancer Treatment

 

New research with mice suggests that intravenous doses of vitamin C could one day reduce the size of cancerous tumors in people.

 

The findings are preliminary and still must be confirmed in humans. And even if the treatment works, it's not a cure but would likely be used in combination with other drugs, the researchers said.

 

Still, the research does show an unexpected use for vitamin C, which has previously been thought of as a nutrient, not a drug, said study co-author Dr. Mark Levine, chief of the U.S. National Institutes of Health's Molecular and Clinical Nutrition Section.

 

In the new study, published in the Aug. 4-8 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Levine and his colleagues found that intravenous vitamin C produced hydrogen peroxide, which proceeded to reduce cancerous tumors in the mice by 43 percent to 51 percent. The mice had ovarian, pancreatic and brain cancer.

A compound from a cyanobacteria found in the ocean off Key Largo Florida is showing promise as a cancer cure.

 

University of Florida College of Pharmacy researchers have discovered a marine compound off the coast of Key Largo that inhibits cancer cell growth in laboratory tests, a finding they hope will fuel the development of new drugs to better battle the disease.

 

The UF-patented compound, largazole, is derived from cyanobacteria that grow on coral reefs. Researchers, who described results from early studies today (Aug. 7) at an international natural products scientific meeting in Athens, Greece, say it is one of the most promising they’ve found since the college’s marine natural products laboratory was established three years ago.

 

An initial set of papers in the Journal of the American Chemical Society also has garnered the attention of other scientists, and the lab is racing to complete additional research. The molecule’s natural chemical structure and ability to inhibit cancer cell growth were first described in the journal in February and the laboratory synthesis and description of the molecular basis for its anticancer activity appeared July 2.

Organic 'dye' used in melanoma treatment

PM - Tuesday, 22 July , 2008 18:29:00

Reporter: Michael Troy

MARK COLVIN: An organic compound used by Indian women to paint red dots on their foreheads could hold the key to a breakthrough in cancer treatment.

 

Rose bengal was first used in the early 1900s as a dye for food, textiles, and cosmetics. But now it's proving a useful weapon in the fight against skin cancer.

 

Initial trials of a solution of rose bengal injected into secondary melanoma cells had a 75 per cent success rate in controlling the disease. A larger trial is now part way through.

 

Professor John Thompson is director of the Melanoma Unit at the University of Sydney. He told Michael Troy how the rose bengal solution kills tumour cells without affecting healthy tissue.

 

Professor John Thompson, the director of the Melanoma Unit at the University of Sydney, says this organic dye could become a powerful cancer-fighting treatment.

 

"We believe it works by getting into the tumor cells and causing them to self-destruct. But the exact mechanism by which it works is not totally clear. It's not useful for people who have a primary melanoma. The treatment of primary melanoma is surgical excision," he said. "It's useful to inject tumors for people who have recurrences; when the primary treatment has failed and when recurrence in the area, or at more distant sites has occurred."

 

About 90 percent of Australians who develop melanoma survive thanks to early diagnosis and treatment. If left untreated, however, the disease can be fatal.

 

Convincing younger people in Australia about the dangers of over-exposure to the sun is a battle campaigners are constantly waging.

 

Veronica Manock, a 21-year-old student, had two major operations to remove a cancerous tumor from her leg.

 

"I've had a lot of friends who before this happened to me they just said 'I thought it was just, you know, I'll get a mole cut out and that's it,' whereas I don't think people realize how much danger they're putting themselves into and how easy it is to stop something like this happening to you just from doing little things," said Manock.

Breakthrough in leukaemia treatment

 

New treatments for leukaemia and asthma are in development after Australian scientists discovered a way to stop the production of malfunctioning blood cells.

 

Researchers at the St Vincent's Institute in Melbourne and Hanson Institute in Adelaide have unravelled the structure of a protein in the blood control system that is key to some blood and inflammatory disorders.

 

Pharmaceutical company CSL will use their breakthrough to develop new treatments that stop the protein from being activated, hindering cancer spread.

 

Professor Michael Parker, from the St Vincent's Institute, said his team established the structure of a receptor that controls the actions of a blood-forming regulator called GM-CSF.

 

"This regulator has been of interest to researchers and clinicians for many years now because its controller or receptor, found on the surface of blood cells, is critical in regulating their many functions," Prof Parker said.

 

In leukaemia, an excessive number of malfunctioning white blood cells are produced because some of the signals coming from the receptor are abnormal.

 

"Because our discovery shows precisely what the receptor looks like and also how it works, we can now begin to design new drugs to rein in the deadly abnormal blood cells," he said.
