Supplements for adjunctive immune help for cancer patients

Alternative cancer treatments may not cure your cancer, but they may provide some relief from signs and symptoms. The holistic treatment for cancer should focus on immune system stimulation, correction of the internal disease process, and destruction of the mutated cellular growth with natural nontoxic compounds. Some tumors grow in response to sugar, some are hormone responsive, and different people and their cancers have unique needs. Consult with your physician to choose the most beneficial combination for your condition.

 1. Essiac tea René Caisse, a Canadian nurse, treated thousands of cancer patients for sixty years using an herbal drink popular with the Ojibway Indians. In 1937 the Royal Cancer Commission of Canada conducted hearings concerning Essiac ('Caisse' backwards) and pronounced as its conclusion that the preparation had marked anti-cancer properties.

 2. b17
B17 Laetrile is a partly man made (synthetic) form of the natural substance amygdalin. Amygdalin is a plant substance found naturally in raw nuts and the pips of many fruits, particularly apricot pips, or kernels. It is also present in plants such as lima beans, clover and sorghum. Some people call laetrile vitamin B17, although it isn’t a vitamin. There is no scientific evidence to support claims that laetrile or amygdalin can treat cancer or any other illness. Despite this it has been promoted as an alternative cancer treatment. Alternative treatment means that people use it instead of conventional cancer treatment. The first use of laetrile as a treatment for cancer was in Russia in 1845, and it was used in the USA from the 1920s. In the 1970s, laetrile was widely promoted as an anti cancer agent either on its own or as part of a programme with a particular diet, high dose vitamin supplements, and pancreatic enzymes.

 4. Modified Citrus Pectin
Proponents claim that modified citrus pectin slows or stops the growth of melanoma, a dangerous form of skin cancer, and metastatic prostate cancer (prostate cancer that has spread). Some also claim that a compound found in MCP strengthens the cancer cell–killing ability of T-cells, cells that also protect against germs.  Modified citrus pectin

5. Pacific Yew tree Powerful plant compounds called taxanes are contained naturally in the Pacific Yew tree. A taxane is a unique plant phytochemical that has revolutionized modern medicine and alternative therapies with its ability to destroy abnormal cells by binding the microtubules and preventing them from disintegrating. This action has been found to paralyze cell division and permanently inhibit the growth of abnormal cells. Abnormal cells are unable to signal apoptosis and die naturally.
Consult your doctor if you are already on chemotherapy for any supplement, but especially this one, as Taxol is derived from this compound. Vital Yew


6. Resvita  contains turmeric and astralagus Scientists tell us that vitamins A, C, and E, as well as beta carotene and other antioxidant bioflavonoids, are vitally important to good health.

Resvita contains antioxidants from maritime pine bark and grape seed pycnogenols extracts.

Chrysin – A flavonoid from the passion flower plant, which acts as an antioxidant, inhibits 6 of 7 pro-cancer events, enhances Tumor Necrosis Factor, and inhibits abnormal hormone action (Boik, 2001; Yin, 1999).

3,3’Diindolymethane (DIM) – A phyto-chemical from cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, etc.) with strong anti-estrogen effects, inhibits adhesion, motility, and invasiveness of cancer cells, inhibits 5 of 7 pro- cancer events (Riby, 2000).

Resveratrol – Stilbene from grapes and wine which acts as an antioxidant, inhibits platelet aggregation, inhibits 6 of the 7 pro-cancer events, inhibits insulin resistance, and inhibits abnormal estrogen action (Boik, 2001; Neilson, 2000).

Green Tea Extract (GTE) – A group of flavonoids that acts as an antioxidant; inhibits 6 of the 7 pro-cancer events; and has in-vitro and in-vivo anticancer activity (Boik, 2001; Lyn-Cook, 1999; Sabzuka, 2000).

Quercetin – A flavonoid from fruits and vegetables which acts as an antioxidant, inhibits abnormal hormone activity, inhibits 6 of the 7 pro-cancer events (Boik, 2001; De, Chakraborty, 2000; Lamson, 2000).

Turmeric Extract – The extract is curcumin, which acts as an antioxidant, strong anti- inflammatory effect, inhibits insulin resistance, inhibits cancer cellular proliferation, inhibits metastasis, inhibits 5 of the 7 pro-cancer events (Arbiser, 1998; Boik, 2001; Dorai, 2000). CURCUMIN: Curcumin (diferuloyl methane), the yellow pigment in turmeric (Curcuma Longa), is a potent herbal preventive agent that inhibits proliferation of cancer cells by arresting them at various phases of the cell cycle depending upon the cell type. Curcumin-induced apoptosis mainly involves the mitochondria-mediated pathway in various cancer cells of different tissues of origin. Several factors including pharmacological safety, scope for improvement of structure and function of curcumin and its ability to attack multiple targets are in favour of curcumin being developed as a drug for prevention and therapy of various cancers. 

ASTRAGALUS: The immuno-potentiating effect of the roots of Astragalus Membranaceus, a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, has been associated with its polysaccharide fractions (plant sugars). These compounds are known to enhance immune cell communications thus enabling the body to better defend itself against disease. Astragalus extract has profound effects in enhancing human immuno-function and anti-tumour activity.

Low oxygen levels in cells may be a fundamental cause of cancer. There are several reasons cells become poorly oxygenated. An overload of toxins clogging up the cells, poor quality cell walls that don't allow nutrients into the cells, the lack of nutrients needed for respiration, poor circulation and perhaps even low levels of oxygen in the air we breathe.
