Breakthrough research indicates 200 sugars (oligosaccharides) provide
building blocks for brain development that may fight cancer, HIV, and
the worst of diseases without drugs.
Evidence
is in that these Smart Sugars linked together provide infants with
nature's super food containing the building blocks for brain
development, brain function, and the intellect for later years. Studies
show that college students who received mother's breast milk at birth
make better grades than those fed formula or non-human milk. Millions of
babies receive formula which is a growing business, reaching $3.5
billion in the US alone.
Researchers at the University of California Davis in Sacramento testify that: "ONCE WE ISOLATE THE ACTIVE INGREDIENTS OF HUMAN MILK, THEY MIGHT HELP FIGHT EVERYTHING FROM CANCER TO HIV."
For
two decades, we have taught that the future of healthcare is based on a
few sugars working together to form many functional compounds. Research
on 8 sugars was first published in Harper's Biochemistry Handbook
(mid-90s). My good friend, Robert K. Murray, MD, PhD, professor emeritus
of biochemistry at the University of Toronto wrote that course.
Neunatologist
Mark Underwood at University of California Davis, is focused more on
the power of mother's milk than drugs. Food chemist, Bruce German, also
at UC Davis, believes that human milk's most important role may be
preventing infant diseases and modulating the immune system by balancing
the microbes throughout the infant's body.
An unborn child is
void of microbes. The colonization of microbes begins the moment of
birth. Infections come fast and furious to the new born, especially to
the preemies; and, according to Underwood, mother's milk gives the
infant a fighting possibility twice that of those fed human milk
replacement.
The Smart Sugars, when linked, establish and
orchestrate a military-like communication and battle strategy that sends
the signals to seek out and destroy pathogens.
Researchers have
already discovered 150 different oligosaccharides. And, they expect to
find another 50 design combinations with 3 to 20 sugars linked to form a
compound. Function of these Smart Sugars is explicit, the signals must
be clear, to choose between harmful bacteria and bacteria necessary for
digestion.

Green Tea Effects On Chemotherapy Are Mixed, Studies Suggest
Green tea and chemotherapy have long been viewed in various spheres
as potential weapons against cancer. While green tea's prospective
abilities in preventing and even combating cancer have gained a certain
traction among practitioners of natural and herbal healing, the
effectiveness of chemotherapy against cancer has long gained the
acceptance and approval of the scientific medical healing field.
But can these two seemingly diverse agents possess points of convergence that may make the war against malignant neoplasm even more potent and effective? Or do they essentially operate in their own respective areas, working their so-called magic independently of each other?
Green tea comes from the lightly fermented leaves of the tea plant camellia sinensis. It is known to possess high levels of powerful antioxidants called polyphenols. Antioxidants are materials that help fight free radicals - compounds in the body that alter cells, damage DNA, and give rise to abnormal growth of tumors that lead to cancer. EGCG or epigallocatechin-gallate is the most important polyphenol in the brew and is believed to help protect against cancer development by aiding the self-destruction of these cells, and by affecting enzymes and the communications between cells, thereby slowing the growth and multiplication of cancerous cells.
On the other hand, chemotherapy refers to a standardized regimen of cancer treatment involving either a single neo-plastic drug or a combination or cocktail of such drugs. Active agents in these drugs act by killing cells that divide and replicate rapidly. However, this method also involves harming cells that divide rapidly even under normal circumstances. This results in the most common side effects of chemotherapy: the decreased production of blood cells, the weakened state of the immune system, the inflammation of the lining of the digestive tract, and the loss of hair.
Taken hand-in-hand, do green tea and chemotherapy complement each other in the crusade against their common enemy? Well, the findings have decidedly been mixed.
A study conducted on mice by the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Shizuoka in Japan showed that the effectiveness of the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin against carcinoma tumors appeared to have more than doubled when green tea was used as an adjunct. The tumors showed a higher concentration of the doxorubicin in the tumor tissue when the mice ingested the tea.
Interestingly, only the cancerous tissue reflected a higher concentration of the drug as a result of the addition of the tea and not the normal ones. This may suggest promising implications on the issue of side effects as it implies that the drug's side effects may not increase when used in tandem with the green tea.
Another study showed that the chemotherapy drug adriamycin was likewise found to be more effective at treating ovarian sarcoma when it was paired with green tea. The mice in this study became very responsive to the treatment when they were given the brew alongside the adriamycin while another group of mice not given the tea proved unresponsive.

New Treatment Approach According to Cancer Translational Research
Cancer translational research combines results from the
laboratories and also the clinics to discover new analytical procedures,
treatment and prevention strategies against cancer. Apoptosis, in which
a cell is developed to die, is one strategy by applying research like a
new type of treatment method for cancer. The thought is inducing cancer
cells to kill themselves. This new treatment approach is novel because
available treatment plans have some of the disadvantages. But, this new
finding also presents numerous problems.
Apoptosis is a common stress response
All cells are going to die. They may be designed to do this. It was shown to be a physiologic mechanism to keep homeostasis. Each time a toxic substance enters a cell, the choice would be to kill itself to retain the chemical and prevent it from causing further problems for other cells and tissues. Chemotherapeutic drugs which are used to treat cancer work as toxins to cancer cells. Thus there's a debate about how precisely feasible it is to get a cancer cell to kill itself via apoptosis or simply killing cancer cells via cytotoxic drugs.
Cell toxicity or cell death
Most chemotherapeutic drugs inhibit cancer cells by blocking DNA, MRNA or protein production, causing direct harm to DNA, blocking DNA replication enzymes or inducing chromosome separation. Cancer cells given these drugs may get damages towards the mitotic mechanism, cell membrane permeability or become senescent or old. There were reports that in cancer cells which may have intact apoptotic mechanisms, to follow their programmed cell death mechanism, in reaction for the toxins inside drugs. It's an argument in chemotherapy whether cells die due to the lethal effect of the toxin; or as the toxin has activated the suicidal mechanisms with the cells.
Helpful remarks on apoptosis
If chemotherapeutic drugs work thanks to either cell toxicity or cell death, does that then it signifies apoptosis research is so far useless? Not far. The new findings of apoptosis are not whatsoever futile, it was found that treatments involving chemotherapy adjunct with apoptosis inducers may be more effective. Acting alone, they'd struggle to get rid of the cancer progeny cells who have become proof against either therapy. A remedy which is intrinsically toxic and blocks a vital metabolic pathway can be more effective. Moreover, new facts about apoptosis may be used to assess the available treatments employed for cancer. A lot of issues have yet to be addressed in cancer translational research including searching for a safer plus much more effective treatment.
