CANCER: HERE ARE THE FACTS
Cancer is a devastating disease in
which millions of families are affected each year. The following
statistics illustrate just how close each of us will come to this
disease in our lifetime.
-
Every 45 seconds one American life
is lost to cancer.
-
Cancer now kills more children
between the ages of 3 and 14 than any other illness.
-
Cancer is responsible for 1 out of
every 4 deaths in the U.S.A.
-
Each year we see about 1.2 million
new cases of cancer, with more than 700,000 lives lost.
-
Lung cancer has become the leading
killer of both men and women (surpassing breast cancer in
1986).
-
1 out of 2 men and 1 out of 3 women
currently will develop some form of cancer in their lifetime.
-
1 in 11 men will be diagnosed with
prostate cancer in their lifetime, increasing with age.
-
One of America's leading cancer
organizations estimates that the lifetime risk of breast cancer
in American women is 1 in 9.
Statistics show
that in the year 1880, when records were first kept, one in thirty
five people developed cancer in their lifetime. That figure is
currently at 1 in every 2 - a shocking statistic!
IN 1880 - 1
PERSON IN 35
IN 1985 - 1
PERSON IN 5
IN 1990 - 1
PERSON IN 4
IN 1995 - 1
PERSON IN 3
IN 2000 - 1
PERSON IN 2
IN 2005 - 1
PERSON IN ?
Do the math!
Will you and your family beat the statistics? PROBABLY NOT!
Cancer is now
surpassed only by heart disease as the number one killer in the
United States. There is now compelling evidence that chemotherapy is
ineffective with some forms of cancer and in many cases destroys the
quality of life of the patient. Research has shown that chemotherapy
kills human cells indiscriminately, therefore healthy cells as well
as cancer cells are destroyed. Both radiation and chemotherapy are
devastating to your inner terrain and bacterial environment.
The U.S. spends a
conservative 1.4 trillion dollars a year on "healthcare", more per
capita than any other nation on earth. The quality of life for the
average American stops at age 51. After that, it takes medical
intervention to manage their symptoms to maintain their "health".
FACT:
YOU MUST TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR OWN HEALTH!

THE "SCIENCE"
OF
ELLAGIC ACID CONSUMPTION IN CANCER PREVENTION
Click Here for The Worlds Best Ellagic Acid Available
One of the
pioneers in cancer prevention research is Dr. Daniel Nixon (see The
Cancer Recovery Eating Plan, Times Books, NY, 1994). Dr. Nixon's lab
at the Hollings Cancer Institute in the Medical University of South
Carolina has examined the ability of Ellagic Acid to prevent colon
and cervical cancers from developing. Preliminary evidence generated
by his team of researchers has indicated that Ellagic Acid can slow
the proliferation of both human colon and cervical cancer cells
grown in experimental systems outside of the body.
These findings
have led to the hypothesis that Ellagic Acid may be useful in humans
susceptible to either of these two cancers. While not yet complete,
clinical studies are in progress at the Medical University of South
Carolina and studies in women susceptible to cervical cancer are
under way. The colon trial will measure Ellagic Acid's ability to
prevent the formation of colon polyps (which may be the precursor to
colon cancer) and/or slow the growth of rapidly proliferating colon
cells in human papilloma virus, which is responsible for this
disease. These clinical evaluations will be conducted at the Medical
University of S.C. and the University of Madrid Medical School in
Madrid, Spain.
Some of the data
published by Dr. Nixon and his team at the Medical University of
South Carolina is presented here.
-
Following exposure to Ellagic Acid
from red raspberries, human cervical cancer cells, infected with
the human papilloma virus (HPV), die within several days due to
a process termed apoptosis (normal cell death).
-
Ellagic Acid causes the growth cycle
(G1) arrest of cancer cells, thus, inhibiting cell division
(mitosis) and cellular proliferation.
-
Ellagic Acid from red raspberries
prevents destruction of a cellular regulatory gene, P53, by HPV
oncogenies (genes responsible for cancer induction) in cervical
cells (p53 is regarded as the safeguard of normal cellular
division and if the P53 is inactivated, abnormal cell
division/proliferation ensues).
-
Similar protective effects were
observed in breast, pancreas, esophageal, skin, colon, leukemia
and prostate cancer cells exposed to Ellagic Acid.
-
Consumption of 1 cup (150 grams) of
fresh red raspberries (the equivalent of 40 milligrams of
Ellagic Acid) resulted in the appearance of circulating levels
of Ellagic Acid in the serum one hour after ingestion. Five of
HTN's Ellagic Acid 800 mg capsules equal approximately 40
milligrams or more of pure Ellagic Acid Extract, similar to
research.
In summary, the
data from Dr. Nixon's lab and other investigators indicates that
Ellagic Acid (1) activates detoxifying enzymes in the liver
resulting in the clearing of cancer-causing chemicals (mutagens) in
the serum; (2) prevents the binding of carcinogens to cellular DNA;
(3) serves as an antioxidant in the scavenging and clearance of
highly destructive oxygen free radicals; (4) induces apoptosis
(programmed normal cell death) in cancerous cells; and (5)
stimulates the immune system for the destruction of cancerous cells.
Each of these attributes were found to be important in reducing the
incidence of cancer in experimental models.
Finally, while the mechanism's) are not yet fully known,
research performed in Europe indicate that Ellagic Acid may also be
useful in reducing the incidence of birth defects, promoting wound
healing, and limiting chemically induced liver fibrosis. In
addition, some investigators now believe that Ellagic Acid may be
useful in the prevention of heart disease and periodontal (gum)
disease.

Could HTN's Ellagic Acid possibly be the answer one
out of two people should be looking for?
The
effectiveness of Ellagic Acid is expected to be medically verified
over the next several years with clinical and double-blind studies
for most types of cancer and other medical conditions mentioned
above. |
