E to enhance the cytotoxic effects of adriamycin in human prostate cancer, glioma, and HeLa cells; enhance cisplatin, tamoxifen, and decarbazine on human melanoma and parotid acinar carcinoma cells; and promote doxorubicin to inhibit murine leukemia cell lines [118]. Data from large-scale trials with antioxidants are not available, although some smaller studies provide evidence that antioxidant supplementation can increase the efficacy of standard chemotherapies in humans.

Antioxidant Effects: The antioxidant effects of Ginseng protect against oxidative DNA and protein (globin) damage caused by free radicals (Lee, 1998). Antioxidant activity of the herb also provides a hepatoprotective effect by increasing hepatic gluathione peroxidase activity (Voces, 1999).

A prospective clinical trial of patients with malignant glioma has been carried out, in which patients undergoing standard oncological treatment (neurosurgery, radiation therapy) were randomly assigned into a treatment group, receiving complementary immunotherapy with galactoside-specific mistletoe lectin, and a control group without complementary treatment.34 Nonstratified analysis of all patients did not show a significant prolongation of relapse-free interval or survival time for the treated (versus control) group.

However, stratified analysis of stage III/IV glioma patients showed a significant prolongation of relapse-free survival for treated versus control patients (17.4 versus 10.5 months), and a prolongation of overall survival for the treatment group compared to control patients (20 versus 9.9 months). A case report of the favorable long-term outcome using mistletoe therapy in a patient with centroblastic/centrocytic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has been described.

When glioma (i.e., brain cancer) cells were incubated for just four hours with small amounts of NDGA, the chemical inhibited DNA synthesis. (Such inhibition can be a sign of anticancer effects.) "Prolonged incubation [for 72 hours] of the rat and human glioma cells with NDGA markedly decreased cell proliferation," scientists at Rush-Presbyte-rian-St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago, said. The scientists concluded that NDGA was an important controller of glioma cell division (5). In 1984, the extract also killed two different strains of cancer cells in the test tube (6).

Glioma cancer cells have very high PTK activity. That activity correlates with cancer growth. Several in vitro studies show that genistein inhibits the growth of glioma (Baltuch et al. 1996; Tu et al. 2000; Khoshyomn et al. 2002). Genistein also enhances the effectiveness of the chemotherapeutic drugs carmustine and camptothecin with a 40% decrease in growth and a 50% increased killing effect in some cells, according to one study (Ciesielski et al. 1999; Khoshyomn et al. 2002). The amount needed to enhance the effectiveness of carmustine is not extremely high.

Half the cases are inherited, with 50% chance if one parent has NF, 75% chance if both parents have it; and half from agene mutating. 40% serious, 5% develop fatal cancers. 750 are afflicted in Connecticut, 1.5 million worldwide.

Four of the chaparral flavones demonstrated potent antiviral activity (7).

This cancer research began in the early 1980s with researchers in Thailand and the U.S.7'8 and was verified with research performed at the University of Taiwan in 1992 (where they demonstrated a significant effect against five human cancer cell lines and three animal cancer cell lines).9 Then in 2001, researchers at the University of Houston isolated yet another new chemical in mullaca which demonstrated remarkable toxicity against nasopharynx cancer cells, lung (adenocarcinoma) cancer cells, as well as leukemia in mice.

For example, Phase II clinical trials are being expanded to include liver cancer, melanoma, glioma (brain tumor), and sarcoma (a malignant tumor arising from connective tissue). European-based Rubitecan trials are already underway involving prostate, colorectal, and gastric cancers, as well as lung, breast, cervical, and head and neck cancers. M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (Houston) is currently using Rubitecan against blood-related tumors.

As an example, a clinical ttial of mixed glioma showed that half of the patients tesponded to antineoplastons. (Patients had to have at least a 50% teduction in the size of theit tumots to count as responders.) Twenty-five percent of those numbets saw theit tumot disappear completely although conventional chemotherapy is virtually helpless against this type of cancer (Mouscher 1997).

Exposure for 24 hours at 53 pM, and 48 hours at 18 uM both produced a 50% cell kill in human glioma cells. Exposure for 4 hours produced little cytotoxicity (Floridi et al., 1990b). Similarly, rhein produced a 50% cell kill of human glioma cells at a concentration of 20 uM after 12 hours (Delpino et al, 1992). Prior to 20 hours, the effect of exposure time on cell kill is exponentially related to rhein concentration. After about 20 hours, the relationship is linear. Rhein has also shown an antitumor effect in vivo.

As a reader of this book you may or may not have anything to do with agricultural fieldwork, but I believe we should all care about those who grow and harvest our food, and about the fact that pesticides put these workers at greater risk for leukemia, glioma (a brain cancer), Parkinson's disease, lymphoma, soft tissue sarcomas, tumors of the skin and prostate, and stomach cancer. These chemicals are neurotoxins. And they are stored away in our fat tissues. The more fat you have, the more toxic pesticides you are carrying around—so overweight Americans, beware!
