Diabetes-The Clue To Cancer

A post by Blanche Scharf http://www.yourhealthupdates.com I have been studying natural healing modalities for the last 25 years. In that time I have had the privilege of working with some of the greatest minds in Natural Healing including Naturopaths, Scientists, and Energy Healers. I have seen people miraculously heal from all kinds of dis-ease thru non-invasive methods. Personally, I have experienced all kinds of diets from Macrobiotics to Raw Foods. Now is a very important time to start sharing this health information with as many people as possible, so people can make well informed decisions about their health and not fall victim to a sickcare system based on profit, rather than one of supporting wholeness, compassion and love To see more posts by Blanche Scharf, click here

Diabetes- the clue to cancer is not as strange as it sounds.

Glucose Connection               

The diabetes glucose connection is well known.

What is less known is that cancer cells grow so fast that they can become short of oxygen. They outstrip their blood supply; this is how oxygen is delivered. The cells then produce energy that needs less oxygen but more sugar.

Researches at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center-Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute have designed an experimental drug that chokes off that sugar supply, causing the cells to self destruct.

The agent, called OSU-CG12K is an example of a new class of anticancer drugs energy-restrictive mimetic agents. It is described in a paper published recently in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.

“Our study proves that this new agent kills cancer cells through energy restriction. This is important because it shows that it is possible to design drugs that target energy restriction, and it is exciting because energy-restricting mimetic agents may also be useful for other diseases, including metabolic syndromes, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity,” chen said.

Energy-restricting mimetic agents cause changes in cancer cells that are similar to those that occur in can cells deprived of their main energy source, the sugar glucose.

Diabetes Sugar Connection

Most people are aware there is a diabetes sugar connection. Also, most are informed enough to know simple carbohydrates are going to cause problems.

What isn’t as well understood is that the same dietary solutions applied to cancer will have an effect.

Scientist at Umea University in Sweden funded by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), examined blood sugar levels in 274,126 men and 275,818 women from Norway, Austria and Sweden with an average age of 44.8, than followed them for a decade.

They wrote: “Significant increases in risk among men were found for incident and fatal cancer of the liver, gallbladder, and respiratory tract, for incident thyroid cancer and multiple myeloma, and for fatal rectal cancer. In women, significant associations were found for incident and fatal cancer of the pancreas, for incident urinary bladder cancer, and for fatal cancer of the uterine corpus, cervix uteri and stomach.”

Glucose

Glucose is the common denominator for both diabetes and cancer. The alternative practitioners have been saying for years sugar feeds cancer. They were correct.  Most of the medical community have been saying up to now, that diet has little to do with this condition.

Calorie restriction along with a nutrient dense diet is promoted by many alternative health care practitioners. Both a low sugar and lower calorie diet have been promoted as a preventative method and a way to reverse most conditions.

The benefits of a low sugar, and a low calorie diet when applied correctly will prevent and ameliorate these conditions. Your body will do the healing if given the tools.
