Information on supplements for cancer   These are the supplements I take and I believe are helping me Vitamin D If you thought vitamin D's main role was preventing rickets and strengthening bone, think again. Many researchers now believe that the "sunshine vitamin" may one day play a key role in preventing the growth of prostate cancer, and in killing rogue prostate cancer cells that have escaped into the body. The data are quite suggestive and vitamin D is a most promising area for prostate cancer research. I beleive the best value and quality Vitamin D3 available is from iHerb.com, Plus by quoting the code PET383 you can obtain a discount on your order I have been taking a formula of Turmeric and Astragalus for the past few months. I do believe the formula has been of help in bringing my PSA down from 227 in Nov 2005 to 0.09 as of 7th April 2009. All I can say is read up on these herbs and see what conclusions you come to.   Ellagic Acid A phenolic compound, inhibits the growth of cancer cells and arrests the growth in persons with a genetic predisposition for the disease The Hollings Cancer Institute at the University of South Carolina is conducting a double blind study on a group of 500 cervical cancer patients that has everyone excited. Nine years of study have shown that a natural product called Ellagic Acid is causing G-arrest within 48 hours (inhibiting and stopping mitosis-cancer cell division), and apoptosis (normal cell death) within 72 hours, for breast, pancreas, oesophagal, skin, colon and prostate cancer cells. Ellagic acid is a proven anti-carcinogen, anti-mutagen, and anti-cancer initiator Research indicates that Ellagic Acid slows the growth of abnormal colon cells in humans, prevents the development of cells infected with human papilloma virus (HPV) which is linked to cervical cancer, and promotes apoptotic growth (natural death) of prostate cancer cells. The apoptotic process, triggered by the antioxidant ellagitannin also has beneficial effects on breast, lung, oesophagal, and skin cancer (melanoma). Ellagic Acid is a naturally occurring polyphenolic constituent found in 46 different fruits and nuts like pomegranates, red raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and walnuts. Ellagic Acid is a nutraceutical. Ellagic Acid contains a naturally occurring phenolic compound that has very strong anti-oxidant properties. Ellagic Acid is a potent anti-carcinogen. Ellagic Acid has the ability to inhibit mutations within a cell's DNA. Ellagic Acid is considered to be a cancer inhibitor which has the ability to cause apoptosis, or normal cell death in cancer cells. Ellagic Acid, according to research, has antibacterial and antiviral properties.   Ellagic Acid Coenzyme Q10 Two studies showed that cancer patients have lower levels of Coenzyme Q10. In addition, a small human trial in Denmark involving 32 breast cancer patients investigated the efficacy of CoQ10 as an adjunct therapy (adjunct = supplements + conventional cancer treatment). The results showed that all patients in the trial reported that they used fewer painkillers and did not lose weight during cancer treatment. In addition, 6 patients showed signs of remission i.e. tumour regression. Please note that this Denmark trial was, however, not well-designed. It was not a double-blinded study and neither control or placebo group was included. Therefore, it is rather difficult to draw a definite conclusion from this trial on the benefits of CoQ10 in cancer treatment. Furthermore, some anecdotal reports also recorded that adjunctive CoQ10 supplementation has increased the survival of patients with cancers of the pancreas, lung, colon, rectum, and prostate cancer. Coenzyme Q10 appears to help ignite the cellular power stations that are necessary to maintain healthy cells, enhancing energy at the cellular level. The powerful antioxidant is highly concentrated in heart muscle cells. Coenzyme Q10 is believed by some to be an immune system booster and antioxidant that may help people avoid getting cancer, and it may be useful in treating it. Apart from its important function of providing energy, CoQ10 also stabilizes cell membranes, and as an antioxidant, it destroys free radicals in the body. These unstable molecules can cause damage to normal cells. I take 90 mg of CoQ10 supplement daily coenzyme-q10 Pomegranate juice Prostate Cancer: Research and Medical Opinion The very latest research as published by the University of California in the respected medical journal "Clinical Cancer Research" reported that pomegranate juice could dramatically increase the stability period of prostate cancer. Although only a pilot study of 50 men, if confirmed this would be highly significant as it would allow men over 65 with prostate cancer the option of completing their normal life span without resorting to harsh medical treatments. pomegranate Juice Red clover The isoflavones isolated from red clover have been studied for their effectiveness in treating some forms of cancer. It is thought that the isoflavones prevent the proliferation of cancer cells and that they may even destroy cancer cells. Red clover Beta-sitosterol Beta-sitosterol acts against cancer. It is found to reduce the growth of human prostate and colon cancer cells. It also acts against lymphocytic leukemia. Beta-sitosterol   If you make any purchases from the online shop, you will 1) Benefit from some of the highest quality supplements available. 2) A small portion of your purchase price will go towards the upkeep of this site and the research into cancer. 3) You can if you wish start your own site through healthwize and benefit when you encourage others to purchase through your shop.   Online Shop
