It works by first altering the cells in an organism, once they become cancerous, to create the firefly light source luciferin and luciferase to create light. The light itself would have little effect on the cells if it wasn't for the addition of a photosensitizing agent which essentially makes the cells much more vulnerable to light. It can ...
Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) tested the constituents of Cancell in animal experiments in 1978 and 1980 and in vitro on human tumors in 1990 and 1991. They concluded that the compounds comprising Cancell could not be taken in doses high enough to kill cancer cells in the body, and that further study was not warranted.
This belief that generally boosting the immune system's activity will kill the cancer cells is not supported by any scientific research. [51] In fact, many cancers require the support of an active immune system (especially through inflammation) to establish the tumor microenvironment necessary for a tumor to grow.
According to Rebecca Katz, an expert on the role of food in supporting optimal health, one of the biggest cancer fighting foods might be hiding right under our noses.
In cancer cells, major changes in gene expression increase glucose uptake to support their rapid growth. Unlike normal cells, which produce lactate only when oxygen is low, cancer cells convert much of the glucose to lactate even in the presence of adequate oxygen. This is known as the “Warburg Effect.”
Essiac – a blended herbal tea devised in the early 20th century and promoted as a cancer cure. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration include Essiac in a list of "Fake Cancer 'Cures' Consumers Should Avoid". [71] Fermented wheat germ extract (FWGE) – a concentrated extract of wheat germ sold with the brand names Avemar and Awge.
3) E4orf4 may use oncogenes that have been activated in cancer cells, including Src, to cause cell death. 4) Cancer cells have disrupted cell cycle checkpoints and E4orf4 can take advantage of this by disrupting checkpoints in mitosis. 5) A Drosophila model demonstrated that E4orf4 can inhibit classical apoptosis in healthy tissues. It has been ...
The Breuss Cancer Cure (BCC) claims to starve cancer cells by not providing solid food proteins, the idea is based on an erroneous assumption that cancer cells can only live on proteins of solid food. [3] The BCC is based on a vegetable juice that consists of 55% red beet root, 20% carrots, 20% celery root, 3% raw potato and 2% radishes. [3]
