Cancer

The lack of oxygen in tumor cells changes the cells' gene expression, thereby contributing to the growth of cancer, suggest researchers. The findings are far-reaching, as the study also proved that maintaining a proper oxygen supply in tumors inhibits these so-called 'epigenetic aberrations.'

What do cancer cells and a runny nose have in common? Researchers say the answer may hold the key to making cancer treatment better. They have discovered a new gene target -- a chink in pancreatic cancer's defensive armor. Their discovery may point to new targeted therapies and a way to help make current treatments for this deadly cancer more effective.

The greedy metabolism of cancer cells to target kidney cell carcinomas, which kill more than 100,000 Americans each year, has been exploited by researchers. The team showed that the majority of renal cell cancers rewire their metabolism in a way that leaves them addicted to the nutrient cystine. By depriving the cancer cells of cystine, the researchers were able to trigger a form of cell death called necrosis in tumor cells.

A combination of cannabis oil and chemotherapy healed this man’s “incurable inoperable” lung cancer.

This case report suggests a new concept of cancer treatment using local destruction of cancer tissue, in this case conducted with SDT and TTF therapy, to be used in combination with serum GcMAF and colostrum MAF immunotherapy as a systemic treatment.

Providing Advanced Nutritional Support for Cancer Patients and Survivors

Oxygenating the Body Series “But nobody today can say that one does not know what cancer and its prime cause be. On the contrary, there is no disease whose prime cause is better known, so that today ignorance is no longer an excuse,” said Nobel Prize Winner Otto Warburg in a meeting of Nobel Laureates...

The presence of certain bacteria in the mouth may reveal increased risk for pancreatic cancer and enable earlier, more precise treatment, report investigators. Pancreatic cancer patients are known to be susceptible to gum disease, cavities, and poor oral health in general, say the study authors. That vulnerability led the research team to search for direct links between the makeup of bacteria driving oral disease and subsequent development of pancreatic cancer, a disease that often escapes early diagnosis and causes 40,000 US deaths annually.

Cancer is big business, no doubt about it. But did you know that the treatment your doctor orders could actually increase the likelihood that you will become a repeat customer? Conventional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation actually promote cancer. Yes, you read that correctly... they promote cancer! Cancer is increasingly becoming a survivable disease, yet the treatments cause considerable collateral damage – including initiating new, second cancers. Second cancers are cancers unrelated to the original cancer, which can be triggered by the very same imbalances or cancer-causing agents that led to the first cancer. In fact, doctors sometimes refer to

Drinking piping hot coffee, tea and the caffeine-infused beverage yerba mate probably causes cancer, the World Health Organization has announced.

A natural extract derived from India's neem tree could potentially be used to treat pancreatic cancer, according to a new study. Researchers tested nimbolide, a compound found in neem leaves, against pancreatic cancer in cell lines and mice. The results revealed that nimbolide can stop pancreatic cancer's growth and metastasis without harming normal, healthy cells.

A Chinese herbal regimen called TSY-1 (Tianshengyuan-1) TSY-1 increased Telomerase activity in normal blood cells but decreased it in cancer cells, research has demonstrated. Telomerase is an enzyme responsible for the production of telomeres, which play an important role in the regulation of normal cell division. These results indicate that Telomerase-based treatments may be of significance in treatments for both blood cell deficiency and cancer.

Proceedings: AACR 107th Annual Meeting 2016; April 16-20, 2016; New Orleans, LA Resistance to chemotherapy is a significant impediment to the treatment of breast cancer. More than 30% of breast cancer patients present with intrinsic resistance to chemotherapy; almost all who initially respond will develop acquired resistance. Resistant tumors frequently exhibit constitutive activation of numerous survival signaling pathways, including ERK, AKT, NF-kB, and STAT3. We have reported that the circadian hormone melatonin inhibits the growth of both ERá+/ERá- breast cancers and, as well as the daytime induced phospho-activation of ERK1/2, AKT and NF-kB in breast tumor xenografts. We also demonstrated that dim light at night (dLAN), by decreasing nocturnal melatonin, resulted in constitutive phospho-activation of ERK1/2, CREB, NF-kB, and STAT3, promoting resistance to tamoxifen and doxorubicin therapy. Here we tested the hypothesis that dLAN, via phospho-activation of ERK1/2 and STAT3, promotes resistance to paclitaxel (Pax). Female nude rats with “tissue-isolated” MCF-7 breast cancer xenografts were housed in photoperiodic conditions of either LD 12:12, 12:12dLAN (0.2 lux), or 12:12dLAN supplemented with nighttime melatonin (0.05 õg/ml) in the drinking water, with lights on at 0600 hrs and off at 1800 hrs. When estimated tumor weights reached 2.5 g, animals were treated daily with either diluent or Pax i.p. (4õã/kg) 2 h prior to onset of dLAN or dLAN with nighttime melatonin supplementation. Blood samples collected during the mid-dark phase (2400 hrs) showed elevated nocturnal melatonin in the LD 12:12 group, but significantly suppressed melatonin in the dLAN group. Tumor xenografts from rats housed in dLAN showed a 3-fold decrease in latency-to-onset and a 2.8-fold increased growth rates vs. those from rats receiving melatonin supplementation. Tumor cAMP levels, linoleic acid, and tumor metabolism (Warburg effect) were significantly elevated in dLAN tumors. Numerous signaling pathways including ERK1/2, RSK2, and STAT3, were phospho-activated and others including AKT and HER2/3 were elevated at 2400 hrs by dLAN but repressed in dLAN melatonin supplemented tumors. Tumors from dLAN rats showed intrinsic resistance to Pax, whereas those in LD 12:12 or dLAN and supplemented with nighttime melatonin rapidly regressed. These findings show that temporally coordinated and integrated metabolic and signal transduction mechanisms, particularly the STAT3 pathway, underlying human breast cancer growth, can be activated by the host's exposure to LAN with profound effects culminating in rapid tumor progression and the development of resistance to chemotherapy.

Point 4 for Cancer Success - Dr Conners explains that an understanding of circulating tumor cells is essential for every cancer patient

Ever since chemotherapy and radiation became the 'standard of care,' oncology has been in the Dark Ages. Could the scientific community finally be waking up to the incomparable power of foods to cure what conventional treatment only makes worse?

Chris Wark talks about his new book Chris Beat Cancer with Debbie Matenopoulos and Cameron Mathison on Home & Family on the Hallmark Channel.

Vitamin A may have a role to play in tackling the commonest form of pancreatic cancer, scientists have discovered. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the most common type of malignancy of the pancreas, is extremely aggressive and very difficult to treat. Many scientists are currently investigating the genetic mutations and biochemical signalling pathways that enable cancer cells to spread to other parts of the body.

The specific combination of the drugs dasatinib and demcizumab impairs the growth of KRAS-driven lung tumors, the most aggressive sub-type and with the lowest survival rates. The research was conducted on mouse models and samples of human tumors. The experts are confident they can soon start clinical trials which will make it possible to transfer the discoveries to cancer patients.

We hope you enjoy this clip from “Eastern Medicine: Journey Through ASIA!” Today we join Dr. Pan Nien Chung to talk about the removal of cancer stem cells with a special acupuncture. Acupuncture is a staple of traditional Chinese medicine, and utilizes energy pathways, called meridians, to improve the flow of energy, called chi. Dr. Pan Nien Chung describes a special kind of acupuncture which focuses on solar alignment. The energy provided by the sun is called neutrino energy and is an integral part of acupuncture therapy in Asia. Combining neutrino energy and acupuncture can help the body eliminate cancer stem cells. Exposing the patient to the neutrino energy from the sun, in combination with utilizing four special acupuncture points, causes the patient to excrete cancer stem cells in their urine.

Every single day, tens of thousands of people just like you are curing cancer (and/or preventing it) from destroying their bodies. It’s time to take matters into your own hands and educate yourself on real cancer prevention and treatments. It could save your life or the life of someone you love. ------------------------------------------------ About Ty & Charlene Bollinger ------------------------------------------------ Ty & Charlene Bollinger are devoted Christians, health freedom advocates, health researchers, documentary film producers, and best-selling authors. After losing several family members to conventional cancer treatments, they set out to learn the truth about cancer and the cancer industry, working together tirelessly to help others to learn the truth that sets them free to live healthy, happy lives. Ty & Charlene's heartbreak and grief coupled with their firm belief that chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery were NOT the most effective treatments available for cancer patients, led them on a path of discovery. On their journey, they interviewed cutting-edge scientists, leading alternative doctors, and groundbreaking researchers to learn about hidden alternative cancer treatments. What they uncovered helped to create The Truth About Cancer and its three awe-inspiring docu-series: ”The Quest for The Cures”, “The Quest for the Cures Continues”, “The Truth About Cancer: A Global Quest”, and "Eastern Medicine: Journey through ASIA." Their message is clear: CANCER IS NOT A DEATH SENTENCE. THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE.
