![]() Another study found that the more aggressive a woman's breast cancer, the more vitamin E her blood contains and the lower the free-radical activity in her body Antioxidants may help cancers thriveBy Janet Raloff Antioxidant vitamins have become darlings of the nutritional world. By disarming biologically damaging molecular fragments known as free radicals, antioxidants can fight the ravages of aging and many chronic diseases. Free radicals also offer benefits, however, such as ridding the body of germs and damaged cells. By curbing these activities, a new animal study finds, antioxidants can aid cancer growth. Several earlier studies had hinted that antioxidants might foster malignancies. Recent work, for instance, showed that cancer cells are more likely than healthy ones to hoard antioxidants (SN: 10/2/99, p. 221)—presumably as ammunition against free radicals unleashed by the body or cancer therapies. Another study found that the more aggressive a woman's breast cancer, the more vitamin E her blood contains and the lower the free-radical activity in her body (SN: 4/29/95, p. 271). To further probe the role of dietary antioxidants in cancer, Rudolph I. Salganik and his colleagues at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill used genetically modified mice. The scientists started feeding experimental diets to the animals at 2 months of age, a time when the mice invariably begin developing an unusual brain cancer. Seventeen got normal chow; 14 received the same food minus roughly 90 percent of its antioxidants—vitamins A and C. Four months later, Salganik's team compared the animals. In mice getting food virtually devoid of antioxidants, tumors were just half the size of those in the brains of animals that had downed normal chow. Moreover, 20 percent of the tumor cells in the antioxidant-deprived mice were undergoing a type of cell death called apoptosis, which is driven by free radicals. The body ordinarily uses this programmed suicide to rid itself of old or wounded cells. In mice on the normal diet, just 3 percent of cancer cells were undergoing apoptosis. "We were astonished [by this difference]," Salganik told Science News. However, a follow-up study confirmed the findings, he reported last month at the American Society for Cell Biology annual meeting in Washington, D.C. Salganik, who plans soon to begin trials of antioxidant-depleted diets in cancer patients, emphasizes that antioxidants' suppression of apoptosis appears to have been restricted to tumors. For cancerfree individuals, he says, antioxidants should produce no deleterious effects. http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/62/title/Antioxidants_may_help_cancers_thrive |

![]() - The Cause of Disease
The human body is 2/3 water, 35% of it in the blood and 65% in the lymph. If toxins are allowed to build up in the system, the water gets 'dirty'. If the blood pH varies from 7.3, then the beneficial microbes that are necessary in the body begin to change their form, and disease results. To maintain a clean system, it is necessary to have a proper diet, one that produces a blood pH that is neither too alkaline nor too acid. And it is necessary to have sufficient oxygen to allow efficient cellular metabolism. Each cell burns sugar (carbohydrates) in oxygen to make its fuel, ATP. The carbon-hydrogen bond is cleaved, and oxygen bonds with the hydrogen, forming H2O (water) and CO2 (carbon dioxide) as waste products. Calcium is the guardian of the cell in regards to the amount of oxygen allowed in. If there is too little ionic calcium in the cell, due to dietary deficiencies, oxygen cannot enter. If there is insufficient oxygen available, CO (carbon monoxide) is formed instead of CO2 and the blood is made more acid. If this oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) continues long enough, some cells will eventually be forced to ferment their sugar anerobically in order to survive. The body has several mechanisms to eliminate these wayward cells, but if the system is toxified, these systems may not be working. As the cells continue to ferment their sugar, lactic acid and carbon monoxide are produced. This process may continue for years at a low level, until it finally attracts the attention of T-cells and macrophages. As they enter the area and react to the acidic environment, they release enzyme growth factors (EGF), their natural response when they sense tissue that is damaged and in need of repair. (If any parasites enter the body, they will migrate to the distressed area. They will produce offspring, establish a colony and dump their acidic wastes, accelerating the process.) Stimulated by EGF, the cells begin to wildly make copies of themselves, ignoring signals from the body to stop. This ungoverned cell replication is what we call cancer. Other disease can also result from lack of calcium in the cell. Since calcium is used to fire all muscles, including the heart, the body is very careful to monitor the amount of calcium in the blood stream. If the body is short of calcium (perhaps due to lack of Vitamin D, which pulls calcium through the gut wall; or boron, which allows the liver and kidneys to convert and release stored Vitamin D), or if a person drinks a cup of coffee, the parathyroid is stimulated to release PTH hormone which causes calcium to be pulled from the bones (a cause of osteoporosis). This calcium is dumped into the blood stream, but this back-up system is imprecise and it always overshoots (the calcium paradox). This results in an excess of calcium in the blood stream, and a resultant quickening of the heartbeat. The body's monitoring and regulating system goes into action, to remove the excess calcium from the blood. It then 'sticks' it wherever it can, on short notice. If the deposition is in a joint, it is called arthritis. If it is on a previously damaged arterial wall, it is called atherosclerosis. If it is on a nerve sheath, it is called multiple sclerosis. Thus the cause of many of our degenerative diseases can be seen to originate in calcium deficiency. The causes of disease are clear: poor diet and oxygen deficiency result in a toxic buildup which overloads the self-cleansing mechanism, providing an environment that encourages detrimental changes in the germs of life and sometimes parasitic infestation, leading to degenerative disease and premature death. Top CARCINOGENESIS 1. Buildup of toxins in and between the cells results in an excess of antioxidants 2. Resulting lack of oxygen impairs cellular respiration (hypoxia) 3. The cell is forced to ferment its sugar supply, becoming potentially cancerous 4. Production of ATP drops, and is of inferior quality 5. Lactic acid and carbon monoxide are produced as waste 6. Cell differentiation is lost 7. Increasing carbon monoxide causes increasing hypoxia 8. Cell energy level drops and antioxidant enzymes are not produced (SOD, GP, catalase) 9. Parasites may move into weakened affected area and proliferate, adding to acidic waste 10. T-cells and macrophages respond to acidity by secreting enzyme growth factor (EGF) 11. The cell is stimulated to replicate wildly, becoming a growing cancer 12. The cell releases enzymes hyaluronidase and collagenase to dissolve the intercellular substrate to gain growing space 13. The cell releases enzymes to stimulate growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) to increase its sugar supply 14. The liver recycles excess lactic acid back to glycogen 15. Cancer cell sends out cells to colonize the rest of the body (metastasis) 16. Cancer cells secrete enzymes that suppress appetite, so immune system is deprived of nutrients 17. Cancer cells block entrance of white blood cells, thwarting immune defense CANCER TREATMENTS 1. Ozone and steam hyperthermia treatments remove the toxins and attack the cancer. Cancer tumor cells are tightly jammed together and unable to shed heat well 2. Ozone improves cell respiration and pO2 in the blood supply 3. Ozone oxidizes lactic acid; turns free H+ ions into water (H2O) and CO into CO2 4. Cancer cells are vulnerable to cell wall lysis by ozone because they lack the protective enzymes (SOD, GP, catalase) 5. Parasites are killed or inhibited by ozone 6. Vitamin C and horsetail strengthen the intercellular substrate against dissolving enzymes 7. Angiogenesis can be blocked by shark cartilage, soy genistein, modified citrus pectin, sumex, and selenium 8. Liver enzyme PEP-CK, which allows conversion of lactic acid to glycogen, can be blocked with hydrazine sulphate 9. Aloe vera, astragalus, chapparal, garlic, mullein, and parsley stimulate the immune system, provide quality nutrition and stimulate the appetite |
