Vitamin A Helps Kill Cancer

Hi all

I have been doing some research on how vitamin A kills cancer cells.

There is a enzyme that causes cell growth called PI3K. This enzyme activates another enzyme called AKT. AKT will protect cancer from death. Vitamin A turns off the AKT enzyme by blocking PI3K activity. So vitamin A stops the PI3K enzyme from being produced, thereby preventing the downstream activation of the cancer promoting AKT enzyme.

Vitamin A also helps to interfere with the production of the cancer promoting Cox 2 enzyme. The Cox 2 enzyme produces the prostaglandin PGE2, which promotes cancer growth. It does so by inhibiting the production of the genetic factor C/EBP beta. This enzyme promotes Cox 2 production. With the Cox 2 enzyme turned off cancer cells die off.

So vitamin A, a fat soluble molecule also call Retinoic Acid helps us in our fight against cancer.

glutamine

Hi all. So what does glutamine do in high doses? It decreases the natural anti oxide in your cancer cells, called GSH. With a lower GSH, cancer cells are unstable and die faster. Think of chemo and radiation. They cause an oxidation in your cells, and that is what kills them. So why not do it naturally? A lower GSH will kill cancer cells by causing an increase in the natural oxidation. Look it up. Buy the glutamine at your local health food store. Combine it with juice and drink your way to health.

So glutamine is an amino acid that many body builders take to bulk up after they exercise. We take it to decrease GSH. Oh, and another thing, it also decreases the nasty Nuclear Factor kappa Beta. NF kappa Beta is the factor that causes inflammation. When it is activated, many down stream pro cancer chemicals are formed. Did you know that most chemo and radiation causes NF kappa Beta to turn on? So why not take something that not only decreases GSH and NF kappa Beta. A double whammy.

Many university studies show that when you decrease GSH and NF kappa Beta cancer cells die. To your good health.
