Food Groups Associated with Reduced Numbers of Colon Polyps

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011

logo1267406_md

A recent study published in Nutrition and Cancer concluded that eating legumes at least 3 times a week and brown rice at least weekly may reduce the risk of colon polyps by 33 percent and 40 percent respectively. In addition,eating cooked green vegetables daily compared to less than 5 times a week was associated with a 24 percent reduction in polyps and eating dried fruits three times a week compared to less than once a week was associated with a 26 percent reduction.

Over Twenty eight hundred subjects participating in the Adventist Health Study -1 were evaluated for how often they ate specific foods. Twenty six years later during The Adventist Health Study-2 the subjects completed a questionaire and those in this study who had undergone colonoscopies were asked to indicate physician-diagnosed colorectal polyps. During the 26 years there were 441 subjects with colorectal polyps. Several possible confounding factors were assessed including family history of colorectal cancer, educational level, physical activity, smoking history, alcohol level, constipation, intake of sweets, pain medication, multivitamins and food. The factors shown to distort the effects of food and food groups were adjusted. More research should be carried out on food groups and polyps.

Nicotine and Preteens

Friday, June 24th, 2011

logo1267406_md

A new study published in the Oxford journal Nicotine and Tobacco Research concluded that exposure to secondhand smoke can cause symptoms of nicotine dependence in non-smoking preteens. The researchers said that when children are exposed to the same amount of nicotine as adults they absorb higher amounts of nicotine and that “secondhand smoke exposure could possibly trigger addiction in the brain.”

For the study 327 sixty and seventh graders in French-language public schools were asked about their smoking habits, the number of smokers in their circle and the situations where they observed smoking. The researchers found that preteens surrounded by more smokers believed there were greater advantages to smoking and “smoking by parents, siblings, and friends increases risk factors for later smoking. Further research is planned but the researchers said parents should avoid exposing children to second hand smoke.

Simple Early Diagnostic Test for Upper Gastrointestinal Tract Cancers

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

logo1267406_md

A simple urine test may be the key to early detection of cancers of the upper gastrointestinal tract according to research published in the journal Proteomics-Clinical Applications. Researchers compared urine samples from patients with advanced cancer of the upper gastrointestinal tract with urine samples from those who were cancer free. After analyzing for thousands of proteins they identified six particular proteins that were present in 98% of the cancer patients but only 10% of the controls. They then narrowed the molecules down to two proteins-S100A6 and S1009 that were most likely to be in the samples from cancer patients but not in the control samples. They plan to follow up to see if these proteins are in the same levels with patients having early upper gastrointestinal cancer.

Special Protein Supresses Prostate Cancer Growth in the Lab

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

logo1267406_md

In a recent study researchers found a protein, FUS, that inhibits the growth of prostate cancer cells in laboratory studies and activates pathways that lead to cell death. In samples from prostate cancer patients with high levels of FUS the cancer was less aggressive and less likely to spread to the bone and this was associated with a longer survival for patients. “These findings suggest that FUS might be able to suppress tumour growth nad stop it from spreading to other parts of the body where it can be deadly. Its early stages yet but if further studies confirm these findings, then FUS might be a promising target for further therapies.” Further research includes looking at whether or not FUS is a useful test about how aggressive prostate cancer is, and then find ways to boost PUS levels in patients to see if it would slow tumor growth.

Prostate Cancer is not Predicted by a Change in the PSA Level

Friday, March 4th, 2011

logo1267406_md

A study reported in the February 24 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute concluded that blood tests indicating the PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels are rising rapidly over time are not useful in detecting aggressive prostate cancer and may lead to unnecessary biopsies.

In the study the researchers used data from over 5,500 men in their 60′s and 70′s taking part in a drug trial for prostate cancer prevention.
Those selected for this study did not receive a drug in the initial study and all agreed to have a biopsy at the end of the trial. Although researchers did find a statistical association between PSA velocity (change in PSA levels over time) and the chances of a follow-up biopsy being positive for cancer, when they factored in other things that influence the risk such as family history of the disease, older age, being black, and PSA levels and digital rectal exam there was virtually no association between PSA velosity and biopsy outcome and concluded “PSA velosity measurement is not useful.” They also said ” This study should change practice. We have previously published papers determining that PSA naturally varies from month to month and have urged men whose PSA suddenly rises to wait six months and repeat the test before agreeing to a needle biopsy. This new study in a large population of men provides even stronger evidence that using changes in PSA as a basis for recommendation for biopsy leads to many more unnecessary biopsies and does not help to find the more aggressive cancers that we want to find and treat.”

For information-This issue was previously discussed by Tanya Harter Pierce on the Holistic Health Show and more information on the PSA can be found in her book Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work. 2009 edition.

[]Dean Shrockm renee

On Saturday, Dr Carl O Helvie, Host, will interview Dr Dean Shrock and Michelle Renee on the Holistic Health Show.

Dr Dean Shrock is a licensed psychologist who served as Director of Mind-Body Medicine for a physician management group of 40 cancer patients for many years. Here he discovered that his patients lived longer than others receiving conventional treatment and concluded that the difference was that they felt loved and cared for. His doctoral dissertation was on guided imagery and this fits in nicely with his interest in spirituality. He has since dedicated his life to writing and teaching how to find your own true joy, greater health, and a deeper sense of inner love.
His books include Doctor’s Orders: Go Fishing and Why Love Heals. More information is available at: www.DeanShrock.com and www.HeartFeltIntent.com

Her career ambitions were shattered when three masked gunmen broke the door to her home down, held her and only child hostage for 14 hours, taped explosives to their bodies and forced Michelle to rob the bank she managed to save their lives.

It was in those 14 hours held hostage, as she was preparing to die, that Michelle knew it was time to heal her life…all of it. It was time to face all that had been holding her hostage for as long as she could remember.

In the aftermath of the violent home invasion kidnapping, hostage, and bank robbery ordeal, Michelle chose to follow her dream of becoming an entrepreneur and PR Specialist. She, while awaiting the criminal trial of their attackers, returned to college at the University of Alaska Anchorage at age 35 enrolling in Communications courses with an emphasis on public relations.

Today Michelle Renee is an award-winning author, International speaker, respected activist, radio show host, PTSD educator and breakthrough coach. Michelle is the Founder/Director of Rock To Stop Violence (www.rocktostop.org) and Owner of Common Unity PR (www.facebook.com/commonunitypr).

New Lung Cancer Treatment Could Replace Chemotherapy

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

logo1267406_md

Research on a new inhalable dry powder of a common chemotherapy drug encapsulated in nanoparticles shows it is more effective in treating lung cancer than the IV injection or solution form of the chemical. In an animal experiment over 80% of the mice survived over 90 days and over 70% survived 140 days when treated with the inhalable dry powder whereas none of the mice treated with the IV injection or solution form survived past 50 days. The researchers concluded “results show that this treatment method may not only increase someone’s survival rate but could also potentially be less toxic to the body.” The inhalable powder was also more effective in decreasing the amount and size of the tumors than in those treated with IV injections or solution.

Soy Products May Stop Prostate Cancer Spread

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

logo1267406_md

Research from Northwestern Universities Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center concluded that chemicals in soy may prevent the spread of cancer cells from the prostate to other areas of the body in a report presented at the Ninth Annual American Association for Cancer Research Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research Conference.

In a randomized study of 38 men with localized prostate cancer the researchers found that genistein, a substance in soy, given once daily as a pill, one month prior to surgery had beneficial effects by "increasing the expression of genes that suppress the invasion of cancer cells and decrease the expression of genes that enhance invasion." The next step in this ongoing research is to see if soy will prevent the cancer cells from leaving the prostate and moving to other areas of the body,

According to researchers past efforts to develop a therapy to stop cancer cell movement have failed due to being ineffective or too toxic. If further research is effecive it would be a major breakthrough because soy is both natural and non-toxic. More information is available at the following site:
