Extract made from oleander, Anvirzel, marketed by this clinic
in the Honduras.

The extract is given by injection. It appears to have been originally
researched and developed by this company.

According to these people on this forum who have relatives trying
it out for colon and lung cancer, it costs some US$2,700 for a
three month supply.

Greetings MIND: I read somewhere that OXIDIZED FAT was found in CANCER CELLS. This would be BAD fat (read: processed/synthetic/trans fats)None of ya cells can RESPIRE properly if they are being smothered by this type of fat. So they EXPIRE. I think that may be what Mr. WARBURG meant.

Furthermore, another part of the RESPIRATION issue: if the MITOS are basically hundreds of small BATTERIES, synthetic lipid oxidation forces GLUCOSE to be burned which affects CARDIOLIPID (which basically means CORE or WORKING lipid) which is present naturally in the cell--and this rusts out the Mitos; shortcircuiting their energy output; even causing them to stop functioning properly.

I know we are told that the CELL needs Glucose. It does. But not the kind made from the FOODS we mostly eat (refined carbs and sugar) but more from ORGANIC fats/oils which dont make as much FREE RADICALS/OXIDATIVE DAMAGE (and keeps the integrity of the cell via CARDIOLIPID production). Burning Glucose for fuel creates dirty EMISSIONS in the cell! Not as much with fat which burns cleaner in the final breakdown.

So Mr. WARBURG was certainly right (and onto something special).

There are some promising research on dichloroacetate (DCA) if it can help cancer patients, through a mecanism explained by warburg.
a clinical trial about DCA is going on at University of Alberta, Canada by Dr. Mihaleakis.
simply google DCA, and see what is going on

Hello,

I am not sure if this is the relevant location but does anyone have information about places that I can donate money for cancer research? I'd obviously prefer investigation into novel forms of research. I'd like to make some preparations in case I do not come out neurologically intact post surgery.

Depending on how much you want to donate, you could think about giving money to the NCI, a sub-agency of the NIH as that will (to some extent anyway) cut out the middle person (middle man). You can find the info. here: http://www.cancer.go...t/NCI/donations . The NCI does fund a number of "challenge" projects, high risk (of failure)/high reward type of stuff; you could call them and see if they would be willing to allocate your money to that type of research.

One other suggestion: The Lustgarten Foundation: http://www.lustgarte...ge.aspx?pid=587

Several months ago, an article I was reading about cancer mentioned a private charity, which focused almost solely on funding innovative (high risk of failure/high return) research; however, I cannot find it via a quick search. You might want to scroll through some older news articles in 'Google News' with keywords: "cancer," "war," and "40 years."

I hope this helps.

This replaces the missing Oxford Journals link
on huanglian (Coptis chinensis) above.

The study supports the holistic principle of the
effectiveness of the whole herb, or whole herb
extract, rather than one of individual
components, of which the dominant one is
berberine in this case.

" The extract of huanglian contains several
components. Berberine is known to be the
dominant one. In this study, we found that
purified berberine was significantly less
effective than the whole huanglian extract.
Similar results have been reported previously
by others. This indicates that there are
constituents in the herb other than berberine
that are critical for its growth inhibitory
effect. In this context, it seems better to
develop the whole herbal extract, rather than
its dominant components, for cancer therapy. "

with bladder cancer risk. This applies to
former and current drinkers of both pure
coffee and coffee with milk. Although drinking
of coffee with milk was apparently associated
with a higher risk of bladder cancer than
drinking of black coffee, the difference was

Also, tea drinking was directly associated

Furthermore, we show that the roles of

inhibition became temporally separated
in this species: the early contact

regular contact inhibition is controlled
