African-American men living in areas with low sunlight are up to 3.5 times more likely to have vitamin D deficiency than Caucasian men and should take high levels of Vitamin D supplements, reports a new study. The current general recommendation of 600 international units is way too low for all men in northern regions. Low Vitamin D has been linked to prostate cancer, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.

The first fluorescence-guided surgery on an ovarian cancer patient was performed using an imaging agent attached to a modified form of the vitamin folic acid, which acts as a “homing device” to seek out and attach to ovarian cancer cells. Surgeons were able to see clusters of cancer cells as small as one-tenth of a millimeter — 30 times smaller than the smallest they could detect using standard techniques.

Treat cancer – Recent research shows natural combinations boost IV vitamin C
September 16, 2011 by Health Blogger
Filed under Organic Foods
(NaturalNews) The latest research on high dose, intravenous vitamin C continues to confirm its cytotoxic effects on many cancers in tissue culture models. Results have been so promising that oncologists are now researching the combination of vitamin C with standard chemo drugs. Not surprisingly, vitamin C was found to boost the effectiveness of several chemo drugs so much that two clinical trials have been started. But recent research has also uncovered several natural compounds that boost the cancer-killing effects of vitamin C and may pave the way for highly effective, all-natural combination therapies in the future. It is now well accepted that high dose IV vitamin C therapy generates hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in tissues, and it is the H2O2 that selectively kills cancer cells through oxidative stress. Oncologists reasoned that this added stress may enhance chemo drugs’ effectiveness. Many lab studies have supported this, showing that vitamin C significantly increases the effectiveness of drugs against breast, colon, ovarian, prostate cancer cells and others. However, some of the same studies also confirmed the cytotoxicity of vitamin C alone for these cancers. This raises the question if doctors should be looking for less harmful, natural agents to combine with vitamin C rather than chemo drugs, which often carry terrible side effects and toxicity. Recent research has shown that several natural compounds do indeed boost vitamin C’s ability to kill cancer cells. A summary of this is shown in the table below, along with the combined anti-cancer effect compared to vitamin C alone (indicative only), and the type of cancer tested. Natural Agent Combined With Vitamin C or H2O2–Combined Effect–Cancer Type/Cell Line Maitake Beta-glucan++prostate PC-3 Maitake GD Fraction++bladder T24 Meshimakobu PL Fraction ++bladder T24 Black tea polyphenol TF(3)++lung adenocarcinoma SPC-A-1 Green tea polyphenol EGCG+lung adenocarcinoma SPC-A-1 Retinoic Acid++breast MCF-7 Vitamin D (with H2O2)+breast MCF-7 Vitamin D (with H2O2)+colon HT-29 Hyperthermia+leukemia Hyperthermia +glioblastoma Copper (CuCl / CuCl2)+leukemia HL-60 Iron (FeCl2 / FeCl3)-leukemia HL-60 IV Glutathione–pancreas xenograft Maitake and meshimakobu mushroom extracts combined with vitamin C achieved a 90% death rate of bladder cancer cells, while maitake extract with vitamin C achieved a 95% death rate of prostate cancer cells — and all with a relatively low dose of vitamin C. Black and green tea polyphenols were both helpful, but black tea polyphenol was the stand-out winner, increasing lung cancer cell death rate from 1% to over 22%. Retinoic acid (a metabolite of vitamin A) tripled the anti-proliferative effect of vitamin C on breast cancer cells (up to 75.7% inhibition). Vitamin D (calcitriol) combined with H2O2, which is released during IV vitamin C treatment, increased the breast cancer cell death rate by 78% compared to H2O2 alone. Some additives, however, actually inhibited the effectiveness of vitamin C. For example, vitamin C lost 95% of its cancer killing power when glutathione was co-injected, and the tumour shrinkage normally seen with vitamin C alone was inhibited. This remains a very active area of research, and more powerful combinations with vitamin C may yet be identified in the future. The positive combinations shown above are not yet being tested in clinical trials, but in the meantime they offer a lower risk, high potential benefit that patients and practitioners may want to consider in designing their own natural therapies. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8635156 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3082037/?tool=pubmed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16443354 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10851301 http://www.altmedrev.com/publications/12/1/63.pdf http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15964518 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16889957 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8917417 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9252668 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21672627 About the author Ethan Evers is author of the award-winning medical thriller “The Eden Prescription,” which is based on the latest science in natural medicine for cancer.

A scientific ‘go’ for commercial production of vitamin-D enhanced mushrooms
September 7, 2011 by
Filed under Supplements
A new commercial processing technology is suitable for boosting the vitamin D content of mushrooms and has no adverse effects on other nutrients in those tasty delicacies, the first study on the topic has concluded. The technology, which involves exposing mushrooms to the same kind of ultraviolet light that produces suntans, can greatly boost mushrooms’ vitamin D content.
