Amygdalin (I) ineffective anticancerigeno (trad.)

Amygdalin the next post is a translation of this article published on the blog of Dr. Fuhrman and will be the first of a series of articles alleging the dangers of what has become known as “ orthomolecular medicine ”:

El Laetrile is a drug on the basis of amygdalin, a compound present in the seed of the almond. (In our body) is converted into glucose, bezaldehido and hydrogen cyanide. (This product) was marketed as an anticancer drug more than 50 years ago.

But studies in animals and humans have shown no benefit when dealing with any type of cancer. After many studies showing that it lacked any effective promoters of the laetrile had the idea to call vitamian B17. Even today it is actively promoted on the internet and are circulated stories about how the medical establishment (Orthodox) has tried to devalue their effectiveness.

researchers have tested the so-called substances “ Laetrile ” in more than 20 tumors in animals, as well as many human tumors and not found any benefit in solo as well as combined with other substances. After each negative study which demonstrated its inefficiency and its dangers, its promoters varied alleged mechanisms of action and Laetrile therapeutic effects.

In an attempt to first argued that it could cure cancer. Later, it could “ control it ”. When developed the “ theory ” of vitamin, was sold as a protector against the development of cancer. They also defended that it might be effective in calm the pain associated with cancer, providing the treatment quimioterapeútico. And finally there are still many people who, without taking into account the toxicity of these substances, believes that it may have stimulating effects and they take even believing that it prevents cancer.

Believe that because an “ rush ” temporary, must be healthy. Don’t know what that little by little they are poisoning ”

Swine influenza why attacks more young people?

The renamed influenza Swine has baffled in part to the society to be more virulent and attacking a segment of the population that traditionally it would be considered less prone: young people. Speculation began to soar, so it should had more defenses? defenses virus infecting, collapsing the lungs?

These comments we have heard in the gatherings of mouth of inexperienced journalists and that does not seem that they had opened up a manual of Immunology in the life which is the truth? with the difficulty that involves speaking truths on land as slippery as microbiology and Clinical Immunology, could be that the cause was found on a simple concept: residual immunity.

Our agency once time fights an infection (viral or bacterial) develops a long-term response, “ saving ” somehow these specific defensive cells has been created against this infection. This not only acquired immunity protects us from this virus, but it may be partially effective in viruses of the same family or with genes in common. in this last century there has been 3 pandemics to highlight:

* Spanish flu (1918-1919): the virus of type A (H1N1) caused between 20 and 50 million dead, was probably related to the swine flu and avian influenza. It caused seasonal and intermittent outbreaks until the emergence of another flu.

* Asian flu (1957): this new infuenza of type A (H2N2) arrived to kill more than one million people.

* Hong Kong flu (1968): this virus (H3N2) virus replaced the Asian flu until the re-emergence of the H1N1

* Spanish flu recurrence to (1977): despite more than 20 years remain disappeared in the human population, people older than 20 years kept a residual immunity, reducing the severity of the pandemic.

From 1977 has existed a cohabitation or co-circulation of different virus: H1N1, H3N2, and strains of the virus type B. But the fact to mention is that residual immunity in the past served as protection, and in this case, if as suspected the virus has different influenzas genes, it could be the cause of the protection enjoyed by our elders, her would have inherited from different outbreaks that occurred in 1977.

Carnitine why do not need to take it (II)

Carnitine is of no use for a healthy person, even for a person who carries out abundant physical exercise. In other words, there is no study that has shown that the practice of customary or intense exercise decreases our amount of carnitine. Moreover, it is absorbed through dietary supplements is really complicated and would require large amounts (hence the futility of fortified foods in “ L-carnitine ”).

Is for this reason that when medicine hand of carnitine, through subcutaneous injection and prevents clearly their adverse affects. But when is the carnitine used? there are a series of rare genetic disorders (myopathies mitoncodriales) where mitochondria (the part of the cell to obtain “ energy burning sugars or fats) do not work correctly and is in these cases that are prescribed the use of carnitine with coencima Q10 (or ubiquinone) to try to mitigate the deterioration of the nervous system and therefore the muscles. But we need to clarify that these rare diseases cause serious Muscular Dystrophies and usually degenerative. And a regret of all therapeutic use is limited pending research and bibliographic reviews that confirm these benefits.

In spite of everything, and for not sinking to the promoters of this substance, and in honor of the truth, if there is a clinical research in mice where the combination of garcinia combogia, carnitine and certain proteins of soy has proven to be effective in preventing the accumulation of deep abdominal fat in obese specimens due to a diet too rich in fat. But that if, in mice, meanwhile for medicine continue clinical trials have been scrapped by ineffective.

Amygdalin (II) four wild assumptions about its mechanism of action

Amygdalin since it was isolated in 1830 by two French chemists have been many explanations given by its proponents to justify their non-existent properties química:

Primerea theory: this hypothesis is interspersed with the theory “ Trophoblastic cancer ”, a not very accepted currently by medicine theory. According to this the origin of cancer would be some stem cells during embryonic development was assumed and esparcirían by the embryo. What would prevent these cells become cancer cells would be some pancreatic enzymes and amygdalin, so that cancer could be treated with these alleged enzymes and treated with laetrile. second hypothesis: the L aetrile apparently would attack the “ malignant cells ” that would have higher levels of the above beta-glycosidase (and which in turn would be poor in others as rodanasa). This imbalance between these alleged enzymes would be what would make it to the “ malignant cells ” so vulnerable to the laetrile.

A hypothesis that if wasn’t because it has not been confirmed by any study, could be credible, but so far that so-called imbalance is therefore alleged. What is more, healthy and cancerous cells have the same level of rodanasa and there are only traces of the beta-glucosidasa in all cells of mammals. In short, if inyectara not it would turn into cyanide, supposed agent “ healing ” of Laetrile.

Third hypothesis: cancer apparently it would be the result of the lack of a vitamin, in this case the “ B17 ″, that is, for “ restore ” health our bodies need vitamin B12. If we know that lack of vitamins or the excess of these may be related to the development of cancer, but no evidence that the laetrile can act like a vitamin in humans or in animals.

Fourth assumption: would according to this the amygdalin (or laetrile) only attack those cells that use oxygen (i.e., in theory all or almost all). Its effect would be to increase the acid concentration of cancer cells (how?), allowing a few compartments within cells then reventasen (Lysosomes). Packed these compartments would die cancer cells, stopping the development of tumor cells.

The goji berries or sell the skin of the bear before chase it

The the goji berries come from Tibet and southern China, where the popular medicine credited with revitalizing properties. So far everything normal, another Berry of the many that exist in the world herbal medicine (medicine based on the use of herbal medicines) recommended for dealing with exhaustion and tiredness.

“ Goji juice is possibly one of the most powerful foods against aging discovered to date ”

with these statements the controversial Earl Mindell unleashed the Pandora’s box again. This pharmaceutical has become known for his wild theories on food and micronutrient, came to recommend e.g. foods high in DNA and RNA to prevent aging, when it is well known for the biochemistry that these acids decompose to be absorbed in the intestine and that our body hardly can suffer a deficiency of something so vital to our cells. But despite suffering his thesis in pharmacology and medicine, the news has spread throughout the blogosphere seems nevertheless demonstrated that these berries have a complex of polísacarido-protein (glycoprotein, LBP) acts of in vitro antioxidant, i.e. in the laboratory. But they say studies in people? well, to tell the truth, there is only one study. It was made by the University of California and Tufts University School of Medicine, which sought to if the level of antioxidants increased in the blood of 50 patients, 30 days and taking 120 daily ml of juice berries.

The study showed that two enzymes antioxidant main increased by 9.9% and 8.4% (her superoxido dismutase and Glutathione peroxidada), in turn effect of free radicals declined 8.7%. So far there has been more studies to analyze the effectiveness of these berries as antioxidants, if some who study their potential benefits in the immune system, but so far in laboratory and animal phase. In other words, so far, the scientific community does not give good these supposed effects without further studies, studies that should be on people.

Contraindicación:

there are at least two investigations which have been determined to interfere with warfarin, an anticoagulant medication, destabilizing these patient according to the Department of pharmacy of the University of Washington and Department of therapeutic medicine of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Once stopped the consumption of berries clotting levels returned to normal.
