Chemically induced breast cancers could be stopped by nutrients
The results of a research show have shown that the development of breast tumors was dramatically reduced in the nutrient supplementation.
14/02/05 Research conducted by the scientific team at the Dr. Rath Research Institute in Santa Clara, California confirms that a novel approach to cancer developed by Matthias Rath, M.D is the most effective way to control this devastating disease. The results of the research, published in the most recent issue of Breast Cancer Research (2005, Volume 7:R291-R295), document that specific nutrient synergy can effectively prevent breast cancers induced by chemical toxins. This is corroborating evidence of the effectiveness of Dr. Rath's concept for the natural control of cancer in accordance with earlier publications by this group.
The research utilized the widely applied rat model of chemically induced malignant breast disease. Rats were injected with a powerful cancer-inducing chemical, 1-methyl-1-nitrosourea, and two weeks later they were randomly divided into two groups. One (control) group continued to be fed a normal laboratory diet and the other group (test) was fed the same diet, but enriched with a nutrient mixture consisting of vitamin C, lysine, other amino acids and an extract from green tea. Cancer progression in all animals was evaluated 24 weeks later.
The results have shown that the development of breast tumors was dramatically reduced in the nutrient-supplemented group. While 90% of animals in the control group developed tumors, 50% of animals fed a diet supplemented with nutrient synergy were tumor free. The total tumor mass was almost five-fold lower in the nutrient-supplemented group than in rats fed a normal diet (78% decrease). Further, the most striking results came from the Stanford pathology lab where an independent histological evaluation of the tumors demonstrated that all tumors developed in the control animals were malignant adenocarcinomas, whereas tumors developed in the animals supplemented with nutrient synergy were non-malignant adenomas.
The research conducted at the Dr. Rath Research Institute offers innovative, safe and effective solutions to cancer and offers hope to millions of cancer patients. To read the actual study results, visit www.drrathfoundation.org or http://breast-cancer-research.com/content/7/3/R291.
The Dr. Rath Research Institute is staffed with scientists from the fields of medicine, biochemistry, cellular biology and nutrition who conduct innovative research in cardiovascular disease, cancer, bone health, HRT and infectious diseases.
Led by Director of Research Aleksandra Niedzwiecki, Ph.D., the Research Institute's world-class scientists apply the understanding of how nutrients work at the cellular level to develop natural health programs that help people lead longer, healthier lives.
