Re: Can herbs really cure cancer? Why so many differing opinions

My organization set out to answer your question. "

Why so many differing opinions!"

It is fair to say that opinions may differ but they don't conflict! At least in alternative medicine. The issue really is mixed efficacy and common links to all anti cancer herbs.

The misconception we have tried to illuminate and still people don't get it, is that anti oxidants are really pro oxidants. Nobodody here, or very few people here, have a PhD in biochemistry which is why I network with Biochemist.

Anti oxidants in buffered form are pro oxidant, after they perform the anti oxidant duties, (highly over rated function) they become pro oxidants.

Here is that equation C-OH where c is carbon

C-OH + OH -> C=O + H2O

Notice the C=O?

O stands for oxygen, it becomes double bond to carbon in all phenolic compounds which basically describes the structure of almost every anti cancer herb, with a couple exception, (garlic oil, carboxylate substances)

So what happens is that people take herbs that offer up pro oxidant activity long after they have done their anti oxidant duties. They create a buildup of peroxides in cancer cells which eventually can cause aptopsis.

So, while one person wants you to take Pau De Arco, another wants you to take Amazon factor, another flavenoids, another vitamin A,...the correct conclusion is that they are all partially correct.

So, what happens is people like yourself get bombarded with
suggestions and then have to make choices.

The next issue is dosing! We cannot recommend strongly enough that you seek out the active ingredient or quantify it and then dose it up and up and up while testing your tumor markers. Uric Acid, lactic acid, CEA are primary markers that we use. Spike UA with falling LA and CEA are indicative of higher turn over in cancer cells and lower metabolic functioning.

The next issue is absorbtion. Some cancers have fibrin protein coat that restricts absorbtion, they have negative polarity accross this membrane due to their lack of minerals and lower ph,.(see Brewer) and therefor have a tendency to repell oxygen.

Other substances that reverse this polarity are seen to also have an impact on cancers growth rate so people who see this correlation will say to take these substances, IP6, Lime salts, cesium, silver and other minerals or metalic colloids.

Their mechanism we feel we have proven, supports oxygen absorbtion. But even these may be difficult to get inside cancer cells.

So, ultimately the question becomes financial,...which one of these pro oxidants can you afford, what is the concentration of active phenols or oxygen donors!

Hope this answers your question. Further explanation can be found below!
