WE as US (Americans) are in need of finding the answers to cancer, because with a broken health care system and escalating cancer rates. Some day it may not be as easy as one, two and three. Compounding the problem is most oncologist are rapidly advancing in age with retirement upon them. We may not have enough qualified “specialist” to handle the burden that will also maybe thus upon the system. (So it might be important toprotect your glutathione levels.)
Gratifully, cancer awareness through prevention and information in a centralized hub of cancer research may be the wave of the future. It will be what it will be…. with one biggy in my opinion from talking to the experts is the power of the antioxidant. Antioxidants are often described by neutralizing electrical charge, and preventing any an all free radical from taking electrons from other molecules.
Antioxidants are substances that protect cells from the damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. Antioxidants also neutralize free radicals are the natural by product of normal cell processes. Exposure to various environmental pollutants, including tobacco smoke and radiation; are only two of the many factors that can lead to free radical formation.
Free radicals are molecules with incomplete electron shells which make them more chemically reactive, than those with complete shells. In humans, the most common form of free radicals is oxygen. When oxygen molecules (O2) becomes electrically charged or “radicalized” it tries to steal electrons from other molecules, causing damage to the DNA of other molecules.
Antioxidants may make up for any unhealthy lifestyle choice, with the three main types being: 1. Iridoids 2. Flavonoids and 3. Carotenoids. These three bioactives produce astonishing results in humans with no negative side effects with Noni juice from the South Pacific, Blueberry from North Amercica, Cornelion Cherry & Goji Berry from SE Europe & Asia, Olives from the Mediterranean and Sour Sop from South America and Sicilian Orange the most potent.
With some ofthe best benefits antioxidants hold is it reduces free radical production, promotes healthy angiogenesis, supports circulatory health, enhancing healthy brain function, helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels, while also supporting healthy inflammatory response, optimizing the immune system and also boosting endurance and sustaining energy with protection against premature aging.
Every year changing from Summer to Autumn takes quite a mental transformation. It’s days that where balanced to days that are shorter and depending upon where you live much colder. Living in Ohio those autumn days offer relief from summer’s heat, transforming from the Cincinnati Reds into the Buckeyes. With the splendor of fall foliage, pumpkin spice cappuccino, apple dumplings, the autumn equinox and getting use to the winter sky after midnight each night until October 31 which is one reason we celebrate Halloween.
One inspiring story which happen in OHIO recent history is the Chris Henry Story which went something like this. Which throughout his five season career with the Cincinnati Bengals, Chris Henry had many ups n’ downs developing quite a reputation as a talented athlete on the field, bad boy image off the field. Although to those that knew him well said he was typically quiet and respectful.
Being drafted third round in the 2005 NFL Draft, Chris amassed 31 receptions for 422 yards and six touchdowns his rookie year. While in the Bengals first playoff game in fifteen years against Pittsburgh, Chris had a reception for 66 yards in the Bengals second play from scrimmage. Which Carson Palmer and Chris both suffered knee injuries the first of many setbacks for Henry in his short career.
Although rebounding coming back for his second season Chris again totaled 605 yards on 36 receptions for nine touchdowns while making crucial catches in critical situations for the Bengals he was destined for stardom. However, in his third year with the Bengals his life began to unravel; while being suspended the first eight games for violating the NFL personal conduct policy. He finished the season with 21 receptions for 343 yards and 2 touchdowns.
During that off season: on March 31, 2008 Henry punched a man named Gregory Meyer 18, proceeding to throw a beer bottle through the window of his car. Following the arrest in April 2008, Bengals President Mike Brown explained, “Chris Henry forfeited his opportunity to pursue a career with the Bengals.”
However, with Bengals receivers Ochocinco, TJ and Andre Cladwell nursing injuries during the 2008 season. Chris Henry re-signed a two year contract on August 18 with the Bengals. However, after serving a four game suspension to begin the 2008 season; Chris finished that season with 19 receptions for 220 yards and two touchdowns.
Than in 2009, after making 12 receptions for 236 yards and two TD’s, on November 9th he broke his left forearm against Baltimore and during his absence on December 17th; lost his life during a domestic dispute with his girl friend while some saying he was horribly misguided. However, research tells us that by the time a typical college football player leaves college, it’s estimated that the player has experienced 8000 blows to there head.
With Chris Henry being arrested seven times off – the – field – conduct, mostly petty marijuana possession charges, drunken driving, while serving alcohol to a minor, illegal gun possession and fights. Experts wonder “if ” Henry suffered the mental condition Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, which is a degenerative disease occurring when a protein known as “tau” becomes damaged and begins to fill up the brain.
Making a victim oblivious to his happenings with others suffering from this condition being Junior Seau, David Duerson and Ray Easterling; all of whom committed suicide after years of cognitive thinking and emotional turmoil. After Chris Henry’s death, his mother Carolyn Glaspy donated his organs; Donna Arnold received his pancreas’ and one kidney, Brian Polk received the other kidney, also James Benton received the liver while Thomas Elliott, whom was struggling withPulmonary Fibrosis received a lung saving his life.
The reason, I added the Chris Henry Story to this blog post is because it’s inspirational to say the least. While depicting it’s never to late to change your ways before it’s to late and your friends should be supportive. If that had happen their wouldn’t had been a tragic ending to this event. So within Solitarius.org which is that supportive friend it’s important to scroll down giving each blog your undivided attention especially the most recent.
What Solitarius.org will do is transform your belief of cancer awareness through prevention, rather than the treatment after you have this dreadful disease may be the way to go. Throughout Solitarius: their are numerous videos (you can watch and learn from) and books you can kindle or buy for easy reference with no profits coming back to this website.
One of the Secrets of Inner Peaceis the practice of compassion and that of knowing your options. It’s always better to make yourself a tough target for someone than be easy prey to be victimized. Being well versed into the awareness of knowing helps to depict your options both medically and holistically. Unlike Chris Henry, whom was an exceptional athlete that parished well before his time? Panic To Freedom!!!!
Clearly, as you scroll down blog roll you see each blog post uniquely different. As you read each blog post in about 20 minutes or during your lunch hour, and bookmark some of the links you would like going back in your spare time to examine closer. You can see Solitarius.org is a worthy tool in anybody’s search for the answers to cancer and discovery of self.
Also as you go through life… you realize the people that come into your life… happenstance into it for a reason. One such friend of mine is none other than Jill Roche whom informed me of the theory of The Awakening. I always knew of the theory of cells communicating and organs working in unison, however, she shed new light on the topic which I felt deserved a blog post that cancer affects the body, mind and spirit.
It’s easy to mock ~ a ~ man who says, “that his heart told him he could connect with and influence the x – ray machine using energy.” While it’s less easy to mock anyone who has survived cancer, on the very methods to which they ascribe their survival. Dr. Pearsall puts it down, at least in part, to the fact he learned ~ to ~ communicate with his heart (which he see’s as the mediator of the quantum energy in the body.)
The heart he says, pumps nutrients into every cell in our body, and therefore, by definition is pumping “patterns of energy containing the information that tells the cells how to be themselves,” the heart he says, has a code that’s related to this subtle and recorded in every cell of the body as an informational template of the soul. Which can communicate with it’s own body, others hearts through karma while storing memory in it’s cells as life proceeds.
This part is called the soul of a person, it’s there “life story” to the endth degree. It’s the energetic cellular memories, a kind of cellular soul program that is constantly being upgraded and modified during the soul’s brief stay in the physical body. So could it be ‘junk food in’ means ‘garbage out’, by NOT, putting the right nutrients in your body determines everything goes wrong through negative feedback and what you think about expandsthrough Orinoco Flow!!!
Another way of looking at this battle between the communication between thebrain and heart is always seeing it in steady conflict. Is to see it this way the brains traits are that of being controlling, blaming, narcissistic, immature, whining and paranoid with so little aversion upon itself. Whereas “if ” you have any heart at all you’re usually humble, patient, pleasant and positive about the outcome.
It’s this constant battle between the brain which damages the heart by exposing it to constant stress in the search for success. The best example of overcoming this vicious cycle is by thinking the good fight that Kris Carr put up…. when she was told her cancer was terminal. She kept a positive attitude, made adjustment through knowledge and basically forgot she even had cancer!!!
Solitarius.org being a personal blog of information creating awareness for prevention through knowledge of options. Hopefully, with gaining this knowledge you won’t have to go through what my friends of SOLITARIUS went through back in 2005. Heather Von St. James, after giving birth together with her husband Cameron had a life altering ordeal.
Diagnosed with Pleural Mesothelioma, while embarking upon a search to find the best mesothelioma treatment care available. Their search finally led them to Dr. David Sugarbaker, a renowned mesothelioma surgeon at the Boston based Brigham and Women’s Hospital. What Dr. David Sugarbaker recommended at the time was ‘ extrapleural pneumonectomy.’
Which at the time: was a ground breaking treatment option offered through the International Mesothelioma Program. Although having some risk associated with the procedure, it also carried great promise for the best possible outcome. Today, Heather a cancer survivor continues her work of providing unending inspiration to mesothelioma victims around the globe through her own personal blog.
While carrying out her compassionate mission, being a beacon of HOPE for those afflicted with mesothelioma; by sharing her story of Faith, Love and Courage, both as a keynote speaker at conferences and through social media forums. On September 26, which is Mesothelioma Awareness Day, join Heather in spreading “HOPE,” and become a voice for the victims of this dreadful disease. www.curemeso.orgwww.meso-only.com
There are an estimated 12.7 million cancer cases around the world every year with this estimated to increase toward 26 million by 2030. There are various reasons different countries experience different cancer rates in the world. While some countries are better at diagnosing cancer and treating the disease earlier.
With some of these rates misleading for various factors, sometimes I will hear in the wilderness area of Canada. Where they consume wild game in favor of red meat and processed meat they have lower cancer rates, however, it’s not a documented fact this bogus folklore is true. The one documented fact I did findthe metropolitan areas of France has a much higher rate of cancer than the Outer Island’s (ReUnion, Martinique and Guadeloupe.)
The Island’s off the Coast of Franceknown as the French Caribbean, in ecological studies indicating that the growing incidence of prostate cancer in an area of the world with the best cancer rates. Where a change of ethnographic factors more so than lifestyle, is producing prolong exposure to carcinogenic, mutagenic and reproductive toxins.
Where on the “banana plantations” the usage of organochlorinated pesticides, are collecting in the adipose tissue in the body of the natives. Causing high levels of DDD, DDE, HCH, aldrin and dieldrin in their blood, producing increasing cases of prostate cancer (In epidemiology cancer circles in France this is alarming.)
While just south of France, in the country of Spain where also some of the best cancer rates are reported. Cancer rates since 1951 has shown to be increasing, due in part to certain changes in their consumption (tobacco, alcohol, red meat, processed meat with less fish and vegetable.) With an increased consumption (“shot glass”) 30 grams/day of alcohol, colon cancer is obviously increasing with a more sedentary lifestyle.
When you think: the MYC receptors are capable of being influenced by Vitamin D, the sun being 4 1/2 billion years old and sitting 93 million miles from earth. While still basking in it’s rays is our body’s natural pathway for creating Vitamin D and the mid day ray produces more of vitamin than early morning or late afternoon.
This varies, however, with the best rule of thumb being, “if ” your shadow is taller than you are, than the angle doesn’t support vitamin D production. Therefore, “if ” you want to feel better while having greater energy and perhaps live longer. The health benefits of regular exercise are hard to ignore, concerned about heart disease or your risk for cancer try exercising in the mid day sun for 30 minutes daily.
While being active will boost your high density lipoproteins (HDL) or “good cholesterol,” this good cholesterol will decrease unhealthy cholesterol and triglycerides. This one – two punch keeps your blood flowing smoothly which can reduce your risk of cardiovascular events. Also what regular exercise does is strengthen the heart muscle which improves expansion of the cardiovascular system helping it to work more efficiently.
Boosting your endurance while lowering your blood pressure, exercise and physical activity delivers more oxygen ~ nutrients into your tissues and lungs. Thereby, improving your energy level and well being while allowing your cells to gain the needed energy for them to stay healthy and yourself , hopefully, having a reduced risk for chronic stress, which can reduce your chances of gaining any type of chronic dis-ease.

In his book: When The Body Says NO, Dr. Gabor Mate M.D., surmises it this way. There are three distinct types of people in this world, Type A Individuals are seen as robust, angry, tense, fast, aggressive, in – control and more prone to heart disease. Whereas Type B represent the balanced, moderate human being who can feel and express emotions without being driven and losing themselves in uncontrolled emotional out burst.
On The Other Hand: Type C individuals may resemble Type B, since both may appear easy going and pleasant, however, Type B will easily express anger, fear, sadness and other emotions. Type C individuals suppresses or regress negatively charged emotion while struggling to maintain a strong and happy façade.
Cancer patients…. to a significantly statistically degree are more likely to demonstrate the following traits: the element of denial and repression of anger and of other negative emotions, and the external appearance of a “nice” or “good” person with a suppression of any reaction that might offend another person thereby avoiding conflict.
While it can not be said any personality trait causes cancer, certain personality features definitely increases the risk because they generate physiological stress. Repression with the inability to say No and a lack of awareness of one’s anger, makes it much more likely for a person to find themselves in a situation where there emotions are ignored, unexpressed and gentleness exploited.
Physiological stress, is the link between personality traits and dis-ease. Certain traits — otherwise known as coping styles — magnify the “risk of illness” by increasing the likelihood of “chronic stress.” Common to them all — is a diminished capacity for any, all emotional communication. Emotional experiences are translated into potentially damaging biological events.
When human beings are prevented from learning how to express their true feelings effectively. That learning occurs — or fails to occur during childhood. Thereby, the way in which people are force to grow up will shape their relationships with their own body, psyche and other people. This is an important distinction between an inherent response and characteristic to the environment that ensures our survival.
As people grow older, others will resent them and that person will be disliked for what is a desperate response for emotional deprivation. When ask the following question: as a child, you felt sad, upset or angry; was there anyone you could talk to ~ even when what triggered it was the cause of that negative emotion? Dr. Mate stated, in the quarter century of practicing medicine he never heard anyone with cancer respond with “yes” to that question.

The information in this blog post originates from the Book, When The Body Says NOby Dr. Gabor Mate, M.D. Medicine today has yet to assimilate an important distinction and a lesson from Einstein’s Theory 0f Relativity. That being a position the observer will influence the phenomenon being observed and affect the result of the observation.
With that all said, the more ‘specialized doctors’ become today, the more they know about just a certain body part 0r 0rgan; the less they will tend to understand the human being in whom that part or organ resides. They will be least apt to answer a question for fear of reprisal or fear of being wrong.
Dualism…. is when we as individuals has a hard time saying NO, physiologically emotions are in themselves electrical, chemical and hormonal discharges of the human nervous system. Emotions affect, influence and are influenced by ~ the functioning of our major organs. The integrity 0f our immune defenses, when emotions are repressed this inhibitions disarms the body defenses against illness.
In numerous studies 0f cancer…. the most consistently identified risk factor is the inability to express emotions, particularly the feeling associated with anger. The repression of anger is not an abstract trait 0f emotion that leads to dis-ease and it is a major risk factor because it increases physiological stress on the organism. Therefore, the person who doesn’t feel or express “negative” emotion will feel isolated even around friends because their real self is being hidden.
The sense of hopelessness follows ‘the chronic inability’ to be true to oneself in the deepest levels and that hopelessness leads to feelings 0f helplessness. Since nothing one can do is perceived as making any difference and you feel subordinate, therefore, cancer is apt to occur in those with a helplessness ~ prone personality and that sense 0f helpless frustration.
This influence 0f that psychological risk factor can be seen in about 80% 0f all cancer, is so poignantly illustrated in the life history0f Gilda Radner. Gilda Radner’s maternal aunt and two cousins died 0f ovarian cancer, and her mother successfully treated for breast cancer. While for most women whom develop ovarian cancer about 8 percent carry one 0f the genetic mutations known to increase risk.
Depending upon which strand 0f DNA involved those with this mutation in one gene, could have a 63 percent risk 0f developing cancer by age seventy and for those women whose mutation is in the other gene; have a 27 percent risk of ovarian cancer by the age seventy five. Also women without the mutation but who have a first degree relative (mother, sister or daughter) with ovarian cancer the risk is only 5 percent.
In the last paragraph we see that genes in themselves do not tell the whole story. Gilda Radner sparkled with manic energy and a zest for experience, however, carried psychological burdens 0f a highly stressful and self – negating life. This slim star of Saturday Night Live was bulimic and more than likely that affected her hormonal balance. With a relationship with her mother intensely negative, marked by competition for her father’s attention.
All her adult life Gilda, a self confessed workaholic who let work, stress and pressure dictate her lifestyle, who out of sheer desperation, promiscuously sought love, acceptance until she met, and married Gene Wilder. To a great extent left the men in her life controlled her every move by making herself into something they preferred. Never truly being herself she found it impossible to speak emotional truth.
Gilda was always more interested in satisfying others needs more than with her own need to be herself. While on a youthful trip to Paris, France threw herself out into traffic in a dramatic suicidal gesture and was surprised that a friend saved her. Only close to her death did Gilda realize you can’t be all things to all people & must take care of yourself before you can take care of others. Gilda’s Club
Within Solitarius: My Main Goal has been to always supply the visitant with the best information that is on the world wide web. Regardless and in the top tag Childhood Cancer includes links for some of the best facilities in the United States. Along with other links where you can grab n’ go the information in a hurry?
The Key according to Dr. Changxian Shen, PhD., whom is senior research associate at the center, and Dr. Peter Houghton PhD., who is the centers director. Lies in the checkpoints that encourage cells to repair themselves before they replicate their DNA. Many researchers believe cancer cells may flourish when these checkpoints are skipped or inhibited, as the mutated cells survive and rapidly reproduce.
Prior studies had shown that the DNA damage check point protein ATM, was ‘very low’ in most pediatric solid tumor cases. There are many different issues contributing to this phenomenon, first and foremost, are the over production of microRNAs reducing the amount of ATM that is created, which leads to cells circumventing the damage check point when this does happen. Cells that have mutated DNA are able to reproduce without going through the repair process that ATM is suppose to help SPARK.
Indeed Dr. Houghton, also turns his attention to the way in which this discovery can assist in creating more effective treatment options. These results help us to understand, not only, the early genesis of some tumors, but also, “why” so many solid tumors are sensitive to drugs and ionizing radiation that damage DNA.
This also help explain “why” in children not cured by these treatments. resistance to therapy arises ~ the rapid rate of mutation due to suppression of ATM. Potentially the rate of mutations that lead to drug or radiation resistance could be slowed by targeting the mTOR pathway [ which is responsible for the over production of microRNAs ]. Like me…. you don’t have to fully understand this research, however, The Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio would be a great starting point in your search for the answer for cancer.
Also Children’s Cancer Recovery Foundation supports families via numerous programs that are aimed at helping parents. Keep a roof over their children’s heads despite surmounting medical bills and providing gift’s to kids who are going through the stressful process of fighting their type of cancer. Ultimately, the goal of the program is to create the least stressful environment, so kids and love ones can focus their energy on healing and overcoming the threat cancer poses.
How the immune system works? for many of us, the immune system seems a bit of a mystery. The immune system is large and complex while performing a wide variety of functions: scientist and researchers alike constantly study the immune system. While these researchers are always Making NEW discoveries, the better everybody understands this complex and elaborate response of the human body, the better prepared you are at preventing disease.
Did you know that our skin is part of the immune system and is also sometimes referred to as another organ. Our skin is our first line of defense, acting as a ‘physical barrier,’ to all the things in the world that can invade our bodies and make us sick, such as bacteria and viruses. Also, the white blood cells are another vital part of our immune system, as well as, a lesser known part ~ the hormones (like vitamin D) and the cytokines that helps the cells communicate and initiate a response to any foreign invaders into the body.
Therefore, when your immune system isn’t balanced, not properly functioning is often when health problems arises. Inflammation is also a component of the immune system considered a response to stress or trauma. When you experience inflammation, it’s an indicator that the immune system is doing it’s job; by getting white blood cells activated. Initially, inflammation is a good thing, however, the longer it persist, it can be associated with chronic disease.
Also, Your health can affect your immune system and vice versa, including the amount and type of medications we may take for minor or major health conditions. For example: it’s important to keep your immune system going strong, not only, before diseases like cancer has it’s chance of doing it’s ravage to your body, but also, after chemo has been administered…. it’s important to build your immune system back again to withstand the onslaught of carcinogens that was introduced into your body.
Detailing healthy stress patterns: one must consider the adaptive stress response that helps the body adapt to the stress it encounters. Something our ancestors adaptive to well, due to the lack of processed foods in their diets. Twenty first century lifestyle takes and drives the adaptive stress response toward over reactive inflammation, while also being over weight with poor health and premature aging.
Actually scientist believe…. that an excessive laundry list might be needed to prevent a chronic, low level, full body inflammation that is contributing to the aging process by eroding cell’s ability to maintain themselves. Chronic inflammation, thereby, causes cells in our body to grow old before their time. Therefore, the key to success is to trigger the adaptive stress response with the right type and number of calories.
With certain bioactive compounds (polyphenols), while adding fiber, correcting the good – to – bad fat ratio and restricting calories that can alter gene expression and reduce the biomarkers of inflammation, aging and disease. Between 50 – and – 75 million Americans have the metabolic syndrome X defined by excessive abdominal obesity, high triglycerides or cholesterol, elevated blood pressure and abnormal insulin/glucose level.
Cancer for a long time was in a category of it’s own, as far back as the late 19th century, scientist noticed inflammation in the presence of certain cancers. While believing that inflammation turn pre – malignant cells into malignancy. Scientist suspect the tumor essentially borrows the body’s own inflammatory process to aid and a bet this transition, found that mice without the ability to engineer the ability to process a particular inflammatory messenger called tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a), because it kills cancer cells (never developed cancer.)
TNF-a is an inflammatory messenger made by macrophages, a type of white blood cell that’s quite prevalent in fat tissue. In people whom are lean, macrophages make up only 5 to 10 percent of fat tissue, while they account for up to 60 percent of all cells in the fat deposits of people who are over weight or obese.
One study found that compared to those of normal weight, those who are obese release more than seven times as much TNF-a from their fat tissue. TNF-a is associated with insulin resistance, diabetes, also hardening of the arteries, congestive heart failure and some cancers. Biomarkers of aging are things that make us feel old…. one way to fight this is through flight and by consuming a balanced diet of nutritionally advanced foods with moderate exercise while staying positive about your outlook on life.
This blogs shouldn’t take away anything from the blog post within blog roll. In September, I’ll attempt to bring forth the information that I consider redeemable providing cause n’ effects and how it prevents cancer in the first place. However, it’s also important to realize that you will have to do your own research…. to fully understand the jest 0f each blog post which should take you a half hour to read, checkout and bookmark the links you find interesting.
What does a stubbed toe or splinter in a finger have to do with Alzheimer or succumbing to cancer. As scientist scurry and delve deeper, they’re starting to see a link to an age old “defense mechanism” called, chronic inflammation ~ the same process that turns the tissue around a splinter ‘RED’ and causes swelling in an injured toe. So with this really being the case can inflammation cause cancer?
While causing a injury to fend – off bacteria, viruses, parasites and infections. The moment a potentially deadly microbe slips into the body, inflammation marshalls, an attack that lays waste to both invader and any damage tissue it may have infected. Every once in a while, however, this feverish production doesn’t shut down and inflammation becomes chronic.
When this happens the body turns on itself and in recent years this chronic inflammation has become a ‘HOT’ topic amongst researchers. Research shows that chronic inflammation does harm in many ways; it can destabilize cholesterol deposits in the coronary arteries, potentially leading to strokes or heart attacks. Also it chews up – nerve cells in the brain of Alzheimer patients and fosters proliferation of abnormal cells turning them cancerous.
To better understand, it helps to know a little about what happens when the body is subjected to trauma or injury. As soon as that splinter slices it’s path into your finger, sentinel cells stationed throughout the body alerts the immune system; of the presence of bacteria that may have come along for the ride. Some of those cells, called mast cells, release a chemical called “histamine” make nearby capillaries leaky.
This allows small amounts of plasma to pour out, slowing down the invading bacteria and prepares other faraway immune defenders to rush to the scene of the injury. Mean while another group of sentinels, called macrophages, begin a counter attack and releases cytokines which signal for reinforcements. Soon, wave – after – wave of immune cells flood the site, destroying pathogens and damage tissue alike.
NOT long ago, doctors thought heart attacks were results of a molecule called LDL, the so called, ‘bad cholesterol’ providing the raw material for fatty deposits; that slowly build up inside major coronary arteries causing blockage. So clearly, anyone with high LDL cholesterol levels where prone and at a greater risk for developing heart disease. Although, nearly half of all heart attacks occur in people with normal levels.
Inflammation harms the heart when levels of CRP reach 3mg/L or higher; these amounts triple the rate of heart disease. By contrast folks with extremely low levels of CRP, less than o.5mg/L rarely have heart attacks. Dr. Ridker also says, “cholesterol deposits, high blood pressure, smoking will all contribute to the development of under lying plaques.”
What inflammation seems to contribute is in the propensity of those plaques to rupture and cause heart attacks. At the very least, high CRP levels might tip the balance in favor of aspirins and statins known to lower inflammation. As well as metaformim that works to dampen inflammatory response in diabetics.
Thereby, what researchers found to hold true about diabetics are a complex inter-play amongst inflammation, insulin and fat. Either in the diet or – in large folds under the skin ( fat cells behave a lot like immune cells ~ spewing out inflammatory cytokines particularly as you gain weight when you age.)
Now a days researchers are exploring the possibilities mutations and inflammation, are a mutually reinforcing process that is left unchecked can transform normal cells into tumor cells. Therefore, how might this happen? Some of the most potent weapons produced by macrophages and inflammatory cells are the so – called oxygen free radicals. These molecules devastate any thing that crosses their path…. particularly DNA.
It’s a glancing blow: damaging…. but doesn’t destroy a cell that could lead to a ‘genetic mutation’ that allows it to keep growing and dividing. To the immune system, this abnormal growth looks very much like a wound that needs to be fixed and when the immune cells get called in, they bring with it growth factor, that says heal, heal, heal. However, with damage DNA involved it might cause it to grow and divide abnormally while transforming into cancer.
Another interesting aspect ofchronic inflammation is that other researchers have discovered, glial cells can produce inflammatory cytokines; that call additional immune cells into action. These glial cells, sole purpose is to nourish and communicate with the neurons of the brain. Thereby, when you get a chronic activation which is a process seemingly out of control…. it than does result in a chronic inflammatory state.
Also in 1996, the Journal of the American Medical Association published the results 0f a multi – centered, double blind, randomized placebo controlled cancer trial base on 20ug/day selenium or placebo to 1,312 patients over a mean period of 4.5 years. The study reported a 50% decrease in total cancer incidence, as well as, a 63% reduction in prostate cancer, 58% reduction in colorectal cancer and a 48% reduction in lung cancer.
Selenium also promotes the activity 0f P53 protein, which is 0ften called, “the guardian 0f the genome.” Well over half 0f all cancers have defective P53 protein. When DNA is damaged, P53 either stimulates DNA repair or causes cells to self destruct (apoptosis) if the DNA damage is irreparable. The thioredoxin reductase system promote P53 induction 0f DNA repair enzymes, therefore, cells exposed to selenomethionie have shown a 3 — fold increase in P53 activity.
