Cancer

Metformin both suppresses cancer cell growth and promotes organismal longevity through a key transcriptional target that is induced through inhibition of mitochondrial respiration and modulation of mTOR signaling.

Colorectal cancer patients have been found to have low levels of a anti-cancer bacteria and high levels of cancer-promoting bacteria. And it all depends on your diet.

Cancers are serious life-threatening diseases which annually are responsible for millions of deaths across the world. Despite many developments in therapeutic approaches for affected individuals, the rate of morbidity and mortality is high. The survival rate and life quality of cancer patients is still low. In addition, the poor prognosis of patients and side effects of the present treatments underscores that finding novel and effective complementary and alternative therapies is a critical issue. Melatonin is a powerful anticancer agent and its efficiency has been widely documented up to now. Melatonin applies its anticancer abilities through affecting various mechanisms including angiogenesis, apoptosis, autophagy, endoplasmic reticulum stress and oxidative stress. Regarding the implication of mentioned cellular processes in cancer pathogenesis, we aimed to further evaluate the anticancer effects of melatonin via these mechanisms.

Let’s talk about your gut flora and cancer! You may not realize just how important your bowel condition (known as the microbiome) is to cancer prevention. Spoiler Alert: Gut Health is Critical A friend of mine recently pointed out an article in Bloomberg’s Business News that shows mainstream science is finally catching on to what I’ve been saying for a decade about gut health! The results of their data shocked the researchers with Roche AstraZeneca, but I wanted to do a face-palm! Your good gut flora will help you prevent and fight cancer. That’s a fact. Cultivating beneficial gut bacteria is your

Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States and fourth-leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. While cancer is largely considered to be a disease of genetic and environmental factors, increasing evidence has demonstrated a role for the microbiota (the microorganisms associated with the human body) in shaping inflammatory environments and promoting tumor growth and spread. Herein, we discuss both human data from meta'omics analyses and data from mechanistic studies in cell culture and animal models that support specific bacterial agents as potentiators of tumorigenesis—including Fusobacterium nucleatum, enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis, and colibactin-producing Escherichia coli. Further, we consider how microbes can be used in diagnosing colorectal cancer and manipulating the tumor environment to encourage better patient outcomes in response to immunotherapy treatments.

You may remember “pectin” as something that your mom or grandma used as a thickening agent for jams and jellies. Pectin can be used for more than just canning, however. In recent years, research has shown that Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) is also a powerful cancer killer. What is Modified Citrus Pectin? “Pectin” is a carbohydrate substance that is found naturally in the inner cell wall of most plants. It is especially concentrated, however, in the peel and pulp of citrus fruits, including grapefruits, oranges, limes, and lemons. Naturally-occurring pectin is very hard for the human body to absorb. However,

The human gut microbiome modulates many host processes, including metabolism, inflammation, and immune and cellular responses. It is becoming increasingly apparent that the microbiome can also influence the development of cancer. In preclinical models, the host response to cancer treatment has been …

Amino acids, not sugar, supply most building blocks for tumor cells, scientists have been surprised to find. These findings offer a new way to look at cancer cell metabolism, a field of research that scientists hope will yield new drugs that cut off cancer cells' ability to grow and divide.

Investigators may have uncovered a novel mechanism behind the ability of the diabetes drug metformin to inhibit the progression of pancreatic cancer. In their report, the research team describes finding that metformin decreases the inflammation and fibrosis characteristic of the most common form of pancreatic cancer.

With one year to live, Dieneke Ferguson beat multiple myeloma cancer using high dose curcumin after conventional treatment failed! And her case is documented in the BMJ!

In 1977, at the age of 27, Dr. Dale Figtree was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. After six months of treatment, she was told there was nothing more they could do. It was at that terrifying yet magnificent moment that Dale took charge of her life and health. Three years later her cancer was gone!

In a new evolutionary proof of the old adage, 'we are what we eat,' scientists have found tantalizing evidence that a vegetarian diet has led to a mutation that -- if they stray from a balanced omega-6 to omega-3 diet -- may make people more susceptible to inflammation, and by association, increased risk of heart disease and colon cancer.

Biomedical engineers have shown how colon cancer development is intricately linked to a specific microRNA that dictates how cells divide. The new study points to a link between chronic gut inflammation and an increased risk of colon cancer. That link could not only serve as an early warning signal of colon cancer, but potentially be harnessed to counteract advanced forms of the disease.

Karen was diagnosed with Waldenstrom's Macroglobulanemia in 2005, but she refused treatment, changed her life and reversed the progression of her disease!
