ALTERNATIVE CANCER DRUGS

The following article lists some simple, informative tips that will help you have a better experience with .

An interesting alternative cancer drugs derived from the seeds, leaves, bark and trunk of the South American plant Annona muricata, commonly known as Graviola. In fact, there are many other plants in this genus, different from the results are very powerful cytotoxic substances. This is especially effective against prostate and pancreatic cancer, and even work against lung cancer.

Most of the research on Graviola focuses on a new set of phytochemicals called annonaceous acetogenins (annonaceous only way Graviola plant form). Anti-tumor properties and strong pesticide annonaceous acetogenins have been reported and patented.

Purdue University has done much research on annonaceaous acetogenins, much has been funded by the National Cancer Institute and / or the National Institute of Health (none of the clinical trial, note).

In 1997, Purdue University published information with promising news that a number of Annonaceous acetogenins: â € œnot only effective in killing tumors that have proven resistant to anti-cancer, but also seem to have a special affinity groups to cells.â €?

In several interviews after the published information, the head pharmacologist in Purdue € ™ s Purdueâ Research explains that cancer cells that survive chemotherapy can develop resistance to the agent originally used against them and for others, even, medicines.

â € œThe term multi-drug resistance (MDR) has been applied to this phenomenon, â €? he said. He explained that in the small resistance of cancer cells when they develop a â € OEP-glycoprotein mediated pumpâ €? able to stimulate anti-cancer agent from the cells before they can kill.

â € œA multi-drug resistant cell requires a large amount of energy to run pumps and reject anything out of the cell, â €? Purdue head pharmacolgist he said. â € œWhen we mess with the supply of energy, he kills the cells! â €?

Most of this information comes straight from the pros. Careful reading to the end virtually guarantees that you'll know what they know.

You will hear claims that fun in the Purdue study showed that acetogenin in Graviola was selectively cytotoxic to colon adenocarcinoma cells in which the potential 10,000 times adriamycin (a chemotherapy drug).

What Dr X.X. Liu and colleagues in 1999, actually has stated that: â € œAnnoglacins A and B are 1000 and 10,000 times respectively more selective than Adriamycin against human breast carcinoma (MCF-7) and pancreatic carcinoma (PACA -2) cell lines in our panel of six human solid tumor cell lines.â €?

But this is annoglacins, from a tree at a time! (Annona glabra, a tree, called the Polynesian pond or alligator apple).

There is no question, but the power of the derivatives Annona species. Another study showed that six acetogenins (four known and two newly discovered) exhibited significant activity in cytotoxic tests against two human hepatoma cell line [J Nat Prod. April 2002, 65 (4) :470-5].

Another research in the Skaggs Scientific Report 1997-1998 states, â € œAnnonaceous acetogenins, particularly those with adjacent bis-tetrahydrofuran (THF) rings, have remarkable cytotoxic, anti-tumor, anti-mala rial, immunosuppressive, pesticidal and antifeedant activities.

Mode of action studies in three separate laboratories showed that acetogenins are superb inhibitors of mitochondrial electron transport system and a network of various organisms including tumors. Mitochondria are energy machine in the living cell, so that the screws of the mechanism, which is due to a disaster impact on cells.

Great, something that Graviola is pretty non-toxic (not like chemo). Dose needed to kill cancer cells are in progress which damage the cells of healthy people.

As MD with more than 30 years of experience prescribing cancer alternative solutions (not just plants) Graviola I recommend everyone fight cancer. But remember what you get in the capsules purchased in May on the internet little relation to the strength of materials used in the process.

Of course, it's impossible to put everything about into just one article. But you can't deny that you've just added to your understanding about , and that's time well spent.
