Chemotherapy Feeds Cancer, sounds strange, now learn the truth.

Have you ever wondered why advance cancer treatment fails to halt the spread of a tumor?

Cancer Feeds on

The reasons why mainstream cancer treatments so often fail, is that chemotherapy may be a cancer’s friend. Chemotherapy is a doubled edge sword. The effects of the treatment are deadly for many reasons.

The treatment alone can kill you and many times does. But, the deadly effects don’t stop there. Halting the spread of these cells has always been the Achilles’ heal of the cancer industry.

The public has a healthy fear of chemo and radiation treatment. Why people deteriorate on those protocols are three fold. One, the treatment many times doesn’t slow the spread, two it breaks down the immune system, and three it feeds the cancer cells.

Cancer can become immune to chemotherapy and use the drugs for a food supply. This next reason is the icing on the cake.

Researchers with the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Comprehensive Cancer Center and UAB Department of Chemistry have won an $805,000 grant from the U.S, Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program to study whether dead cancer cells left over after treatment encourage Cancer’s spread to other parts of the body.

The research centers on examining inactivated or altered genetic material (DNA) left in the body after breast-cancer cells are exposed to chemotherapy. UAB researches say the resulting altered DNA may be the factor that activates the spread of living cancer cells to distant locations in the body- a process called metastasis-through a specific molecular pathway.

“What if by killing cancer cells with chemotherapy we inadvertently induce DNA structures that make surviving cancers cells more invasive? The idea is tough to stomach,” said Katri Selender, M.D, PhD, and assistant professor of the UBA Division of Hematology and oncology and co-principal researcher on the grant.

Cellular Health A Comprehensive View:

The breast cancer and stress reduction studies are busting the myth that only the medical system can actually halt breast cancer. We are learning that you can unleash your natural defenses.

Internal Defenses

It was found that having sessions with a psychologist to learn how to reduce stress helped women with recurrent breast cancer live longer. They also had a better quality of life, according to new research. In a previous study where they followed women with breast cancer for 11 years, it was fount that those who receive psychological support had a 45 per cent lower risk of their breast cancer recurring.

You can read about the study, by Dr. Barbara L. Andersen, a professor in the department of psychology at the Ohio State University Columbus, and colleagues, in the June Online First Issue of Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.

The researchers studied women with newly diagnosed Stage II or III breast cancer who were put into one of two groups: intervention and assessment-only. In addition to normal assessments, the women in the intervention group had sessions with a psychologist where they learned more about the causes of cancer and how to reduce stress, and the other group just had the assessments.

Anderson, who is also a researcher at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center-James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute, told the press that:

 ”Patients in the intervention arm evidenced significant emotional improvement and more favorable immune responses in the year following recurrence diagnosis.”

“In contrast, stress remained unabated and immunity significantly declined in the assessment-only group,” she added.

Plus she stated that “Survival advantages occurred above and beyond the improvements from state-of-the-science oncology treatments received at NCI-designed comprehensive cancer center.”

Better Yet!

Hear is some brain candy. Breast cancer’s illogical treatment and the untold suffering is part of the culture embracing standard treatment protocols.

Powerhouse Effect of Natural Plant Compounds

Breast cancer cells-even the most aggressive type-succumbed after treatments with peach and plum extracts in lab tests at Texas AgriLife Research. The cancerous cells keeled over, but the normal cells were not harmed.

ArgrlLife Research scientist say two phenolic compounds are responsible for the cancer cell demise in the study. This study was published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry. The phenols are organic compounds that occur in fruits. They are slightly acidic and may be associated with the traits such as aroma, taste or color.

“It was a differential effect which is what you’re looking for because in current cancer treatment with chemotherapy, the substance kills all cells, so it is really tough on the body.” said Dr. David Byrne, AgriLife Research plant breeder who studies stone fruit. “Here. There is a five-fold difference in the toxic intensity. You can put at a level where it will kill the cancer cells-the very aggressive ones-and not the normal ones.”

According to the National Cancer Institute, there were 192,370 new cases of breast cancer in females and 1,910 cases in males in 2009. That year, 40,170 women and 440 men died from breast cancer. The World Health Organization reports that breast cancer accounts for 16 percent of the cancer deaths of women globally. Cisneros-Zevallos, an AgriLife Research food scientist, said the team compared normal cells to two types of breast cancer, including the most aggressive type. The cells were treated with an extract from two commercial varieties, the “Rich Lady” peach and the “Black Splendor” plum.

“A closer look at the extracts determined that two specific phenolic acid Components-chlorogenic and neochlorogenic-were responsible for killing the cancer cells while not affecting the normal cells,” Cisneros-Zevallos said.

The two compounds are very common in fruits, the researchers said, but the stone fruits such as plums and peaches have especially high levels. “So this is very, very attractive from the point of view of being an alternative to typical chemotherapy which kills normal cells along with cancerous ones,” Byrne added.

The team said laboratory tests also confirmed that the compounds prevented cancer from growing in animals given the compounds.                

Breakthrough

This isn’t a unprecedented breakthrough, nor is it a new way to manage cancer. Antioxidant powerhouse effects of fruits and vegetables have been proven over and over. All approved drugs fail to prevent or treat many conditions satisfactory. This latest discovery was here all along, right under our noses at the grocery produce department.

Plants not only have antioxidant potential, they are unrivalled at defending us from free radicals. The beneficial pigmented plants transport life giving substances for cellular health.

Broad-spectrum benefits of plant food keeps the doctor away. Perhaps, that is why most medical professionals will tell you diet has nothing to do with the condition.  

Medical Industry

It could be said that  the medical industry is incompetent, but they are very competent on fiscal matters. The pharmaceutical industry is doing well monetarily.

The medical monopoly increased regulation of our healthcare system has just about done away with free enterprise in the health and wellness arena. This giant conglomerate outperforms in the cash department, but it shows a deficit in the healing department.

Breast cancers illogical treatment, includes destroying immunity, causing heart problems, lost of hair, throwing up, lost of memory, and fatigue. This is without counting future problems that will not be attributed to the toxic chemicals, and radiation.
