Scientists at Tel Aviv Medical Center, Israel, have found that oral modified citrus pectin (MCP) enhances the anti-cancer and anti-metastatic effects of radiation therapy in the treatment of androgen-independent (AI) aggressive prostate cancer cells. Results were presented today at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2015.
Researchers at the Cancer Research Laboratory, Methodist Research Institute, Indiana University Health found that a botanical formula for breast health inhibited the growth of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) human breast cancer cells. More importantly, the researchers also found that the formula enhanced the anti-cancer benefits of the drug tamoxifen in the treatment of breast cancer. These results were presented today at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting 2015.
The botanical extract honokiol, a biologically active molecule isolated from the bark of Magnolia spp., holds promise as an adjunct treatment for aggressive bladder and kidney cancers, as reported in two new studies. New research on honokiol in bladder cancer was presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2015. Research on honokiol’s effect on renal cancer metastasis was published in the April 2015 issue of the International Journal of Oncology.
A groundbreaking peer reviewed case report by Dr. Isaac Eliaz, M.D. of Amitabha Medical Clinic, demonstrates for the first time the clinical use of novel biomarker galectin-3 to assess cancer progression and inflammation.
A new review by researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine highlights a large body of published research demonstrating how modified citrus pectin (MCP), works against cancer. The study, which was published on April 18 in the American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, also examines MCP’s synergistic relationship with chemotherapy, as well as its ability to modulate immunity, safely remove heavy metals and block the pro-inflammatory protein galectin-3.
Honokiol is a powerful polyphenol compound extracted from Magnolia officinalis bark. Extensive pre-clinical research shows that honokiol (pronounced ha-no-kee-ohl) supports cellular health and provides gentle relaxation, as well as being a potent antioxidant. In addition, a study published in the European Journal of Pharmacology has found that the botanical extract protects muscles from the normal inflammation caused by intense exercise. This study broadens honokiol’s acknowledged benefits in supporting and maintaining overall health and wellness.
Budding singer, songwriter Amity is bringing her unique brand of smart, catchy and introspective music to the world. Her newest song, “Me and My Guitar,” has been released on iTunes; the official music video is available on YouTube by visiting www.AmityVideo.com.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of music’s healing properties is how widespread they are. For example, music also aided recovery time following strenuous exercise. Other studies showed that fast-paced music can increase resting metabolism, which may prove helpful for people trying to lose weight.
Cardiovascular disease will kill nearly 2.5 million people in the United States this year, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Over time, inflammation, collagen deposition and scar tissue formation can cause blood vessels to stiffen, a process called vascular fibrosis. Though researchers have known that the hormone aldosterone (Aldo) plays a role in this process, the precise mechanisms have been poorly understood.
A unique formula made from medicinal mushrooms, traditional Chinese herbs and other natural ingredients inhibits aggressive, human triple-negative breast cancer and breast-to-lung metastasis in mice.
integrative medicine expert Isaac Eliaz, M.D., presented breakthrough research on Galectin-3 and Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP), a therapeutic carbohydrate that helps deactivate this rogue molecule, at the prestigious 244th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS). With over 164,000 active members, ACS is the world’s leading chemistry society, providing comprehensive access to chemistry-related information, research, funding, networking and education.
Triple negative breast cancer is the most aggressive type of breast cancer and carries a very high risk of early -- and deadly -- metastasis. Current treatment for triple negative breast cancer is extremely limited. After completing the initial treatments for this deadly breast cancer, women have no viable options that can help them prevent recurrence and deadly metastasis. A new botanical formula may offer hope for this group of patients.
Natural agent makes safer, lower chemotherapy doses possible.
On June 16-17, at the Second International Congress on Complementary Oncology in Munich, Germany, integrative medicine pioneer Isaac Eliaz, M.D. joined leading experts in the field of complementary oncology, to share research advancements demonstrating how integrative therapies can boost our abilities against cancer.
Naturally, the VIP Preview would not have been a true Les Paul event without the sounds of guitar and great music. Singer/songwriter amity joined the legendary Les Paul Trio and Dave Rollans to celebrate with a special performance of her original music and personal rendition of “How High the Moon.”
The “season of renewal” inspires many of us to celebrate health with a detoxifying spring cleanse. When done correctly, a gentle seasonal detox removes heavy metals and toxins from the body, resulting in numerous benefits.
Recent news reports and scientific reviews warn that nuclear radiation exposure is more serious than we believed. Just recently, the UK Guardian published an article titled, “Fukushima reactor shows radiation levels much higher than thought.” Another recent story published in Scientific American, finds California kelp contaminated with elevated levels of radioactive iodine. A review from the Max-Planck Society estimates that the risks of another serious nuclear accident are significantly higher than previously thought. As reports continue to reveal elevated nuclear radiation levels in Japan and elsewhere, public concerns about the safety of Fukushima and other reactor sites are reignited.
Modified citrus pectin dramatically increases anti-cancer effects of poly-botanical formulas.
Medical Doctor shares research on the benefits of meditation, yoga and Qigong.
