 Physicians are concerned with the possibility that antioxidant supplements will build up the antioxidant defense system of the cancer cells and result in making their treatments less effective, since their treatments primarily destroy cancer cells by creating oxidative stress. This is a reasonable concern. But the medical literature does not support their position.
Drs. Kedar Prasad and Arun Kumar and their colleagues at the University of Colorado Medical School Radiology Department reviewed more than seventy studies to address this concern. |

 By doing so, the immune cells will then be able to enter the cancer cells and alter the abnormal cell division of the cancer cells. In the case of uterine fibroids, the belief is that the pancreatic enzymes will help to digest the fibrous/smooth muscle tissue and dissolve the fibroids. When used for this purpose, the pancreatic enzyme supplement must be taken between meals rather than with meals.

 Southam, who injected Ohio State Prison inmates with live cancer cells in 1952, performs the same procedure on 22 senile, African-American female patients at the Brooklyn Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital in order to watch their immunological response. Southam tells the patients that they are receiving "some cells," but leaves out the fact that they are cancer cells. He claims he doesn't obtain informed consent from the patients because he does not want to frighten them by telling them what he is doing, but he nevertheless temporarily loses his medical license because of it. |

 Chemotherapy agents basically kill cancer cells through inducing an oxidative stress. So the idea is that if you take an antioxidant, it would undo that oxidative stress, thereby protecting the cancer cells. And that's the simple logic of it, but when you actually go and look at the studies and see what's happening in the body and apply this, you find that antioxidants protect the healthy cells from this oxidative stress and not the cancer cells from the oxidative stress. So we still have a lot of room for growth in that area. |

| A laboratory study of human cervical cancer cells determined that I3C and DIM could induce apoptosis (cell death) of human cervical cancer cells and HPV-16-infected cervical cells of mice.77 It appears DIM is preferred over I3C due to increased bioavailability and the fact that it increases the protective 2-hydroxyestrogen without increasing another harmful metabolite, the 4-hydroxyestrogens.

 If you eat lots of sugary snacks loaded with simple carbs, you're loading your bloodstream with the chemical energy needed for cancer cells (and tumors) to proliferate. No biological system can live without fuel for its chemical processes, including cancer cells. Thus, one of the strategies to pursue for any anti-cancer diet is to eat low-glycemic diet. That means no refined sugars... ever! No refined grains (white flour, for example), no heavy use of sweeteners and the lifetime avoidance of sugary soda pop. |

 Not only do they let the ball drop by not informing us about how to avoid cancer, but if we get it, they will use therapies that are as dangerous to live healthy cells as they are to the cancer cells. Cesium chloride on the other hand aggressively kills cancer cells by turning their internal chemistry alkaline.

| The Immune System: Our Great Protector
Our immune system guards us against viruses, bacteria, fungi, foreign proteins, and abnormal cancer cells. It is a sophisticated interplay of many different kinds of immune cells. Even though the scope of this book does not allow me to go into much detail about the intricate workings of the immune system, I still believe it is important for you to know who the basic players are. Here is a brief job description of each. |

 Put simply: Overeating promotes cell division, and promotes it most dramatically in cancer cells; cutting back on calories slows cell division. It also stifles the production of free radicals, curbs inflammation, and reduces the risk of most of the Western diseases.
"Eat less" is easier said than done, however, particularly in a culture of cheap and abundant calories with no deeply rooted set of rules to curb overeating. But other cultures do have such rules and we can try to emulate them. The French have their modest portions and taboo against seconds. |

| They flood infected cells with toxins and destructive enzymes, which effectively destroys all foreign invaders or cells that are growing abnormally, such as cancer cells.
T-suppressor cells axe the riot police that come along after the foreign invader has been destroyed and tries to calm down this tremendous immune response. They are critical for the control of collateral damage. If this highly reactive response goes unchecked, tremendous damage to the surrounding normal tissue could occur. This Is what makes the inflammatory response so dangerous. |
| Supplementation of the carotenoids can increase the number and effectiveness of the T-helper cells and the natural killer cells, which, as you have already learned, constitutes an important part of our defense system against cancer cells. This greatly improves the tumor surveillance of our immune system.

| Chemotherapeutic drugs and radiation therapy primarily work by creating oxidative stress damage to the cancer cells, which kills them. This is the main reason patients find these drugs and therapies so hard to tolerate. The increased oxidative stress also causes collateral damage to normal cells.
It is important to remember that every drug is essentially a foreign substance to the body, and the body has to work harder trying to metabolize and eliminate it. This puts increased demand on many of the metabolic pathways in the liver and the body as a whole. |

| Another study found that the amount of melatonin normally found in the bloodstream during sleep increased the ability of a certain phagocyte to destroy skin cancer cells by 73%.12
The immune-stimulating properties of sleep may explain why we feel like sleeping more when suffering from an infectious disease, such as a cold or flu.13 Experiments have shown that animals deprived of sleep for prolonged periods become severely ill and generally die from common viral infections that ordinarily have no effect on animals allowed to sleep. |
| Types of killer cells include natural killer (NK) cells, which destroy hard-to-detect virus-infected and cancer cells; phagocytes, which immobilize and kill antigens through ingestion; and cytotoxic cells, which inject a poison into the cell membrane of foreign cells to kill them. Other T cells, called helper cells, act as mission control for the immune system. When antigens invade the body, helper T cells coordinate the activation and deactivation of killer cells and other immune cells by producing intercellular signaling chemicals called cytokines. |

| This intake of excessive antioxidants actually makes the cancer cells more vulnerable to cell death. Antioxidants not only aid in the battle against cancerous cells, they improve the defense of healthy cells against the damaging effects of radiation and chemotherapy.
Antioxidants Help Good Cells
It is common knowledge that almost all of the harmful side effects of chemo- and radiation therapy to normal cells are the result of the increased oxidative stress these treatments create inside the body. |

 Sometimes, cancer cells travel through the blood and lymph fluids to other parts of the body, where they initiate new cancers. This ability to form secondary cancers is called metastasis.
Cancer develops in three stages. These stages are:
1. Initiation: A substance called a mutagen or carcinogen alters a healthy cell. Cancer initiation happens quickly and frequently, but only occasionally results in an actual case of cancer.
2. Promotion: A substance called a promoter encourages the abnormal cell to multiply. |

 It interieres with enzymes that "breed" cancer genes, cuts off the blood vessels that act as supply lines to developing cancers, stunts the growth of cancer cells. At the same time that genistein is stopping cancer cells, it also stops the growth of cells that can clog arteries, scavenging the free radicals that oxidize LDL cholesterol, the bad cholesterol. That makes soy an antidote to artery deterioration; some documented studies even conclude that it helps rejuvenate old arteries.

| It can be used in combination with surgery to shrink a tumor before surgery or to stop the growth of cancer cells that may remain after surgery. Healthy cells are better able to recover from radiation exposure than cancerous cells; consequently, radiation therapy can leave healthy parts of the body comparatively undamaged. An additional advantage of radiation over surgery is its ability to destroy tiny pockets of cancerous growth that the surgeon's knife might miss. |
