PSA , one of the tumor markers was high with my father’s blood test at the time he was diagnosed with 4th stage lung cancer. My mom’s liver cancer blood test showed low platelet count. As we age starting at age 45, we need blood tests every quarter if you are trying to prevent aContinue reading “Tumor markers”

p53 , resveratrol , pancreatic cancer and apoptosis
Intrigued by pancreatic cancer, infection and environmental toxins, I stumble into this topic from Wiki. One of my clients died of stomach , esophagal and pancreatic cancer. Previous to that , he had shingles and other infections. Her immune system became weaker during the last 5 years before his death. He disregarded stomach pains andContinue reading “p53 , resveratrol , pancreatic cancer and apoptosis”
Immune system, bone marrow, anti-cancer, shark oil
Dr. Astrid Brohult, a Swedish oncologist, administered calves’ marrow to leukemia-stricken children in the 1950s, hoping it would replenish white blood cells destroyed by radiation therapy. After administering the marrow, some of the children improved immediately; many experienced increased energy and white blood cell normalization. After conducting a decade of research on the subject, sheContinue reading “Immune system, bone marrow, anti-cancer, shark oil”
Ellagic acid in berries, pomegranates, grapes, and walnuts as anti-inflammatory
Phytochemicals — chemicals found in plant foods — might have health benefits that explain why fruits and vegetables are good for you, just like your mom said. Potential benefits of one phytochemical, ellagic acid, include decreasing cancer risk and lowering cholesterol. Ellagitannins, which break down into ellagic acid when you consume them, are one ofContinue reading “Ellagic acid in berries, pomegranates, grapes, and walnuts as anti-inflammatory”
Tumor molecular profiling for lung cancer
Tumor molecular profiling for lung cancer If chemotherapy is part of your integrated lung cancer treatment plan, your lung cancer team will do everything possible to target the therapy to your individual needs. Tumor molecular profiling can help determine the probability of the tumor’s response to specific chemotherapy drugs. By testing the lung cancer chemotherapyContinue reading “Tumor molecular profiling for lung cancer”
SCRIB and DISC1 genes and mental disorders, schizophrenia
Summary: A protein called Scribble (SCRIB gene) appears to orchestrate the intracellular signaling process for forgetting, a new study reports. Source: University of Edinburgh. More than one thousand people have had their entire genetic make-up decoded as part of a long-term study to gain insight into why some people’s brains age better than others. ScientistsContinue reading “SCRIB and DISC1 genes and mental disorders, schizophrenia”
Patient Treated In Trial Using Virus On Brain Tumor
Summary: Researchers inject a cold virus into a woman’s brain in an effort to eradicate cancer. Source: University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. A woman had a cold virus injected into her brain tumor in an effort to eradicate it, making her the first person in the United States to participate in a clinical trialContinue reading “Patient Treated In Trial Using Virus On Brain Tumor”
Microbes manipulate behavior and mood, obesity and cancer
It sounds like science fiction, but it seems that bacteria within us – which greatly outnumber our own cells – may very well be affecting both our cravings and moods to get us to eat what they want, and often are driving us toward obesity. In an article published this week in the journal BioEssays,Continue reading “Microbes manipulate behavior and mood, obesity and cancer”
Para-inflammation can drive the formation of tumors, aspirin stops it
A previously unidentifiable type of low-grade inflammation may explain why common anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin have shown promise against some types of cancer – even when patients don’t display typical signs of inflammation. A team led by researchers in the labs of Atul Butte, MD, PhD, director of the Institute for Computational Health SciencesContinue reading “Para-inflammation can drive the formation of tumors, aspirin stops it”
Alzheimer's Disease, a Type 3 Diabetes
Metabolic correction This approach is based on the prominent aspect of Alzheimer’s disease, which is common for many other neurodegenerative diseases: energy deficit. It has first been noted for the case of insulin insufficiency in the brain of Alzheimer’s patients. Because of that Alzheimer’s disease has been called “Type 3 diabetes” [14] and the insulinContinue reading “Alzheimer's Disease, a Type 3 Diabetes”
Bacterial colonies in human body linked to presence of cancer in mouth and throat
Trillions of microbes colonize the adult body. Changes in this community have already been tied to the risk and presence of arthritis, multiple sclerosis, irritable bowel syndrome and cancer. With more information on how these microbes are connected with cancer and cancer risk factors, such as genetic predispositions, smoking and other environmental factors, researchers hopeContinue reading “Bacterial colonies in human body linked to presence of cancer in mouth and throat”
Some cancers die or regresses
By Momna Hejmadi, University Of Bath, The Conversation It is hard to believe that some cancers miraculously disappear, but it does happen. Over 1,000 case studies document cancer sufferers who experienced spontaneous regression of their tumour. So why does this happen and is it possible to exploit it to benefit cancer patients? The earliest documentedContinue reading “Some cancers die or regresses”
A journal retracted a study linking genetically modified corn to tumor growth and death risk in rats
A scientific journal has formally retracted a controversial study linking genetically modified corn to tumor growth and death risk in rats. The study had appeared in the Sept. 19, 2012 issue of Food and Chemical Toxicology, and made headlines around the world with its stark images of rats who purportedly were more likely to developContinue reading “A journal retracted a study linking genetically modified corn to tumor growth and death risk in rats”
Cancer shield
When my father was diagnosed with last stage lung cancer, we juiced fresh green papaya and apples, since the strong papaya enzyme was believed to remove the coating of cancer cells so that the body’s immune system can attack them. The doctor said he would live for another 3 months, he lived for 9 more months atContinue reading “Cancer shield”
