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 RenĂ© 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.

 3. IP6/Maitake IP-6 and Inositol: dramatically increases natural killer-cell activity and enhances normal cell division. Maitake: clinically shown to support cell growth and keep your body's immune response healthy and balanced. POA Cat's Claw: clinically studied to benefit natural and acquired immune systems. Enhances the protective power of critical B- and T-cells.
Cell Forte


 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. Antioxidants have about 20 times the power of Vitamin C and 50 times that of Vitamin E. Resvita contains antioxidants that are broad-spectrum. Resvita contains antioxidants from maritime pine bark and grape seed pycnogenols extracts.

 7. Privita - estrogen blocker and aromatase inhibitor for estrogen dependent cancers breast, prostate, ovarian, uterine, cervical.

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.

 8. Vitagreen - pH balance Barley Grass therapy consists primarily of detoxification and consuming a wheat-grass drink several times each day. Fresh barley grass in this form is a potent source of many vitamins, minerals and plant enzymes. Thus, it is said to be nature's own nutritional program. Wheat grass and barley grass also contain Vitamin B17 (Amygdalin/Laetrile), although other sources, such as apricot seeds are more potent.

9. Octovite contains ginkgo biloba for the brain and circulatory system; vitamins A, C, and E, fish oil, and N acetyl cysteine
Octovite

10. Oxygen
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. Liquid Oxygen Drops

11.Protein shake Brown Rice ProteinRice protein is a terrific protein supplement for vegetarians, people with allergies (it is hypoallergenic) and the lactose intolerant. It is gluten-free, low in carbohydrates and low in fat and sugar as well.

Green Cell Therapy uses



Greens are good, Green Superfoods are even better! Green superfoods have the highest concentrations of easily digestible nutrients, fat burning compounds, vitamins and minerals to protect and heal the body. They contain a wide array of beneficial substances including proteins, protective photo-chemicals and healthy bacteria helping you to build cleaner muscles and tissues, aid your digestive system function and more effectively protect you against disease and illness.

Green superfoods are extremely rich in chlorophyll - the pigment that gives plants their green color. The molecular structure of chlorophyll is very similar to that of human blood and studies show that when this is consumed, the production of hemoglobin in blood is increased. Higher amounts of hemoglobin in the bloodstream means more oxygen-rich blood, the first and most important element that cells need to thrive.

32 Powerfully Detoxifying Compounds To Help Keep You Free Of Disease and Prescription Drugs

Ingredients: Wheat grass juice powder, barley grass juice powder, chlorella, Co Q10, Carrot Juice powder, Beet juice powder, Parsley Leaf powder, Kale juice powder, Grape Seed Extract, Milk Thistle Seed Extract, Lycopene, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Quercetin, Dandelion Powder, Spinach Powder, Blue Green Algae, Bee Pollen Powder, Aloe Vera Powder, Flax Seed Powder, Lecithin, Green Tea Extract, Astralagus, Royal Jelly, Brown Rice Bran, Lipase, Lactase, Amylase, Protease, Bifidobacterium Longum, Lactobacillus Casei, Lactobacillus Acidophilus.

Wheat grass - Wheat grass is the sprouted grass of a wheat seed. Unlike the whole grain, because it has been sprouted, it no longer contains gluten or other common allergic agents. Wheat grass is super alkalizing and is excellent for promoting healthy blood. It normalizes the thyroid gland to stimulate metabolism thus assisting digestion and promoting weight loss due also to its high enzyme content and cleansing effect.

Barley grass - Barley grass has 11 times more calcium than cows milk, 5 times more iron than spinach and 7 times more Vitamin C and bio-flavonoids than orange juice. It contains significant amounts of Vitamin B12 which is very important in a vegetarian diet. Barley grass juice has anti-viral activities and neutralizes heavy metals such as mercury in the blood.

Chlorella - Chlorella is a fresh water algae and like its other algae cousins contains a complete protein profile, all the B vitamins, vitamin C and E and many minerals. It is amazing for the immune system and for reducing cholesterol and preventing the hardening of the arteries, a precursor to heart attacks and strokes.

Green leafy vegetables - Green leafy vegetables are so readily available and so highly nutritious, however most people do not eat enough of them. Studies continuously confirm that populations that eat a diet high in green leafy vegetables run a far lower risk of heart disease and cancer. Fresh raw green leafy vegetables contain high doses of chlorophyll, easily digestible proteins, enzymes and a wide range of vitamins and minerals. These particular vegetables act as mini-transfusions for the blood, a health tonic for the brain and immune system and a cleanser of the kidneys. This contains the following: spinach, dandelion greens, kale, and parsley.

Bee Pollen - Bee pollen is collected by bees from flowering plants and formed into granules. Bee pollen is the most complete food found in nature and has five to seven times more protein than beef. It is especially beneficial for the extra nutritional and energy needs of athletes and those recovering from illness. It is a natural antidote for fighting allergies particulary hayfever and sinusitus. Research shows that pollen counteracts the signs of aging and increases both mental and physical capability.

Herbal Preparation for Stem Cell Retrieval



By definition, a stem cell is characterized by its ability to self-renew and its ability to differentiate along multiple lineage pathways. Ideally, a stem cell for regenerative medicinal applications should meet the following criteria:

Can be found in abundant quantities (millions to billions of cells)

Can be harvested by a minimally invasive procedure

Can be differentiated along multiple cell lineage pathways in a regulatable and reproducible manner.



Green cell therapy increases adult stem cells and stem cell release for optimum health benefits. Green cell therapy helps by getting rid of toxins that block nutritional benefits in your body. Green cell therapy may enable the effective use of nutrients in your body to the greatest degree possible.

Look for this in you green superfood supplement:

Should be made of organic ingredients.
Should be made of wild crafted ingredients.
Should have ingredients from seaweeds.
Should have as many super foods as possible, like kale, horsetail, spinach, nettles, parsley, alfalfa, wheat grass, oat grass, and barley grass to mention just a few.
Should have spirulina and chlorella added (algae).
Should contain probiotics.
Should contain enzymes.
Should contain enzymatically active sprouts.
Should be free from fillers.
Should be free from preservatives.
Should be free from sweeteners.
No GMO products.
Should be fresh freeze-dried or cold-dried.


A Green superfood supplements is also good for Mother Earth.

All the chemicals we use also have a big impact on our nature. Our goal should be to gradually shift to organic products. We find toxic chemicals in so many different products that we use and surround our self by daily, not only in fruit and vegetables. We find chemicals in cosmetics, body care products, kid’s toys and clothing’s, just to mention a few. Change to organically produced products and Mother Earth and your kids will thank you.

Green Cell Therapy: Detoxify, Alkalinize with Vitagreen

WHY DO WE NEED GREEN SUPERFOOD SUPPLEMENTS?



If you live on an average American/Western diet you need to consider taking additional vitamin and mineral supplements. Ideally it shouldn’t be necessary. The best way to maintain health is to eat a balanced diet consisting of organic, ripe and raw fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and whole grains just to mention some of the most important foods. But even then we may find that we lack vital minerals and vitamins. Firstly, we don’t eat enough fruit and vegetables. Secondly, those we eat are low in nutrients.

Green superfood adds nutrients that our food lacks.

The truth is that conventionally grown fruit and vegetables may be nutritionally deficient; The soil they are grown on are depleted and out of balance, missing important vitamins and minerals. In addition the fruit and vegetables are routinely sprayed with such a broad selection of anti fungals, antibiotics, insecticides, pesticides and dozens of other types of toxic chemicals that they may actually contain more harmful ingredients than good ingredients. As a result people suffer from deficient in nutrients and that again leads to disease.

Ideally we should buy organic vegetables from farmers that have been organically farming for many years.

Consider organic green superfood supplements to correct deficiencies and prevent disease.

Even if all fruit and vegetables had optimal levels of vitamins- and minerals most people don’t consume enough to satisfy their daily needs. My advice is that you include some organic raw and green superfoods in your diet to avoid and correct any deficiencies. These green powders provide your body with many of the essential vitamins, minerals and other substances that is needed for optimal health. You only need a small amount daily of a high organic quality green superfood supplement to cover all your bodies needs, if you combine it with a healthy diet.

Probiotics, a comparison and shopping guide



 A probiotic is an organism which contributes to the health and balance of the intestinal tract. A probiotic is also referred to as the "friendly", "beneficial", or "good" bacteria which when ingested acts to maintain a healthy intestinal tract and help fight illness and disease.

You can add probiotics to your diet through nutritional supplements or foods such as yogurt, fermented and unfermented milk, miso, and some juices and soy drinks. Read product labels carefully, looking for a statement that the product contains "live and active cultures," such as lactobacillus.

Although more research is needed, there's encouraging evidence that probiotics may help:

Treat diarrhea, especially following treatment with certain antibiotics
Prevent and treat vaginal yeast infections and urinary tract infections
Treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Speed treatment of certain intestinal infections
Prevent and treat eczema in children
Prevent or reduce the severity of colds and flu
Some researchers believe probiotics may improve general health.

Most people can safely add probiotic foods to a healthy diet. If you're considering taking probiotic supplements, check with your doctor to make sure the supplements are right for you.Align and Culturelle are probably the two most commonly know probiotic supplements so it is important to understand the differences between them.

The most important point to remember is that each of these supplements contain a different probiotic.

Align Probiotic Bifidobacterium Bifantis)
CFU in one capsule/tablet/dose 1 billion

Culturelle Lactobacillus GG, Inulin (prebiotic)
CFU in one capsule/tablet/dose 10 billion

Do they contain lactose? No
Do they contain milk proteins? Trace amounts
Do they contain gluten? No
Are they proven to survive stomach acid? Yes
Are they proven to adhere? Yes
Are there any possible side effects? Mild short term bloating or gas
