Study tightens connection between gut microbes, diet, and colorectal cancer
“These data are among the first in humans that show a connection between long-term dietary intake and the bacteria in tumor tissue. This supports earlier studies that show some gut […]
Why high-dose vitamin C kills cancer cells
“The study shows that vitamin C breaks down easily, generating hydrogen peroxide, a so-called reactive oxygen species that can damage tissue and DNA. The study also shows that tumor cells […]
Common food additive promotes colon cancer in mice
“Emulsifiers, which are added to most processed foods to aid texture and extend shelf life, can alter intestinal bacteria in a manner that promotes intestinal inflammation and colorectal cancer, according […]
Study shows fasting kills cancer cells of common childhood leukemia
“Strikingly, we found that in models of ALL, a regimen consisting of six cycles of one day of fasting followed by one day of feeding completely inhibited cancer development,” he […]
Role of the Microbiota in Colorectal Cancer
“In this review, the authors assess new evidence linking the community structure or specific bacterial factors of the intestinal microbiota to CRC development and progression, with insights into therapeutic implications. […]
Hallucinogenic drug psilocybin eases existential anxiety in people with life-threatening cancer
“The Johns Hopkins group reported that psilocybin decreased clinician- and patient-rated depressed mood, anxiety and death anxiety, and increased quality of life, life meaning and optimism. Six months after the […]
Cannabidiol (CBD) shown to inhibit cell growth and induce apoptosis in cervical cancer cells.
“these data suggest that cannabidiol rather than Cannabis sativa crude extracts prevent cell growth and induce cell death in cervical cancer cell lines. Read more here. Lukhele ST, Motadi LR. […]
Study shows how Chinese medicine kills cancer cells
“We showed that the patterns of gene expression triggered by CKI affect the same pathways as western chemotherapy but by acting on different genes in the same pathways,” says Professor […]
Microbiota Induced Vitamin A Deficiency
“The study also suggests that bacteria in the gut can directly influence a person’s vitamin A metabolism, which may contribute to the risks for this cancer.”
