Vitamin D3

Research published in the Journal of Cell Biology November 17, 2008; 183(4):697-710 has shown that vitamin D can adjust almost everything in the cancer cell, from its genetic messaging to its cytoskeleton. It can switch genes on and off, and it can reduce cell division, and it can ‘calm’ the cancer cells so that they settle rather than spread. It seems vitamin D can actually return a cancer cell to a normal and healthy state.

Boswella

Boswellic acids are a group of closely related compounds found in salai guggul, a resinous extract from the tree Boswellia carteri, that is traditionally used in Ayurvedic (Indian) medicine as an anti-inflammatory agent. Boswellic acids are very potent inhibitors of the enzyme 5-LPO – and thus can suppress the production of leukotrienes which act as cancer growth factors.

Milk thistle extract has been used for many decades in the treatment of liver disorders. Approximately 80% of this extract consists of silymarin, a mixture of several compounds known as flavonolignans. Silibinin, the most prominent of these compounds, accounts for about 60% of the weight of silymarin and is believed to be responsible for most of the liver-protective activity of silymarin and milk thistle extract. Just within the last decade, scientists have learned that silibinin has considerable potential for preventing and treating cancer.

In concentrations that may be feasible to achieve with high-dose clinical regimens, silibinin has been shown to have growth inhibitory effects on a wide range of human cancer cell lines including cancers arising from the prostate, breast, colon, lung, liver, bladder, and cervix. Silibinin can suppress the proliferation of these cells, while at the same time increasing the rate at which they die by apoptosis. In addition, silibinin can sensitize cancer cell lines to the killing effects of certain cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs.

Thus, silibinin may have potential both for retarding the growth and spread of cancer and for boosting the response of cancers to chemotherapy.

Melatonin

One of the most intriguing immuno-supportive agents employed by Cancer Center For Healing is the hormone melatonin, administered once daily before bedtime. Multiple clinical studies in Italy show that this substance tends to have a very favorable, statistically significant impact on survival in patients with advanced cancer.

There is reason to believe that the chief reason for melatonin’s positive effect on survival in cancer patients is an immuno-stimulant effect that boosts the activity of natural killer cells and cytotoxic T-cells. This effect is indirect because melatonin actually acts on dendritic cells (specialized cells that function as antigen-presenting cells for T-cells), amplifying their capacity to stimulate natural killer cells and cytotoxic T-cells. Melatonin boosts the ability of dendritic cells to produce interleukin-2, which helps cancer-attacking immune cells reach maturity.

Selenium Complex

Supplemental selenium is another immuno-supportive agent. Selenium sparks an increase in the capacity of stimulated natural killer cells and cytotoxic T-cells to express receptors for interleukin-2. This hormone-like protein is an essential growth factor of the immune cells that attack and kill cancers. In other words, when natural killer cells and cytotoxic T-cells express receptors for interleukin-2, they grow in greater abundance.

Mega EPA/DHA

Fish oil is a uniquely rich source of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). A small structural difference distinguishes these fatty acids from the omega-6 fatty acids found in plant-derived oils. EPA and DHA have a valuable role to play in cancer treatment.

A number of studies show that a diet rich in fish oil tends to slow tumor growth. Fish oil has the ability to fend off cachexia, the severe loss of muscle mass that often complicates late-stage cancer. Although cachexia usually entails a loss of appetite that can contribute to weight loss by decreasing calorie intake, the life-threatening selective loss of muscle mass often seen in cancer patients reflects a very specific inflammatory process in muscle fibers that is not seen in healthy dieters. It has been discovered that EPA interferes with the inflammatory mechanisms that cause loss of muscle mass.
