Accidental fungus leads to promising cancer drug & Essential Oils For Cancer 7-1-08

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A drug developed using nanotechnology and a fungus that contaminated a lab experiment may be broadly effective against a range of cancers, U.S. researchers reported on Sunday.

The drug, called lodamin, was improved in one of the last experiments overseen by Dr. Judah Folkman, a cancer researcher who died in January. Folkman pioneered the idea of angiogenesis therapy -- starving tumors by preventing them from growing blood supplies.

Lodamin is an angiogenesis inhibitor that Folkman's team has been working to perfect for 20 years. Writing in the journal Nature Biotechnology, his colleagues say they developed a formulation that works as a pill, without side-effects.

They have licensed it to SynDevRx, Inc, a privately held Cambridge, Massachusetts biotechnology company that has recruited several prominent cancer experts to its board.

Tests in mice showed it worked against a range of tumors, including breast cancer, neuroblastoma, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, brain tumors known as glioblastomas and uterine tumors.

It helped stop so-called primary tumors and also prevented their spread, Ofra Benny of Children's Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School and colleagues reported.

"Using the oral route of administration, it first reaches the liver, making it especially efficient in preventing the development of liver metastasis in mice," they wrote in their report. "Liver metastasis is very common in many tumor types and is often associated with a poor prognosis and survival rate," they added.

When I looked at the livers of the mice, the treated group was almost clean," Benny said in a statement. "In the control group you couldn't recognize the livers -- they were a mass of tumors."

The drug was known experimentally as TNP-470, and was originally isolated from a fungus called Aspergillus fumigatus fresenius.

Harvards's Donald Ingber discovered the fungus by accident while trying to grow endothelial cells -- the cells that line blood vessels. The mold affected the cells in a way known to prevent the growth of tiny blood vessels known as capillaries.

Ingber and Folkman developed TNP-470 with the help of Takeda Chemical Industries in Japan in 1990.

But the drug affected the brain, causing depression, dizziness and other side-effects. It also did not stay in the body long and required constant infusions. The lab dropped it.

Efforts to improve it did not work well. Then Benny and colleagues tried nanotechnology, attaching two "pom-pom"-shaped polymers to TNP-470, protecting it from stomach acid.

In mice, the altered drug, now named lodamin, went straight to tumor cells and helped suppress melanoma and lung cancer, with no apparent side effects, Benny said.

All untreated mice had fluid in the abdominal cavity, and enlarged livers covered with tumors. Mice treated with lodamin had normal-looking livers and spleens, the researchers said.

Twenty days after being injected with cancer cells, four out of seven untreated mice had died, while all treated mice were still alive, Benny's team reported.

"I had never expected such a strong effect on these aggressive tumor models," she said. The researchers believe lodamin may also be useful in other diseases marked by abnormal blood vessel growth, such as age-related macular degeneration.

Comment:

I believe a wide variety of cancer is caused by mold (fungus). Ironically this drug uses mold to kill cancer! I would be very interested to see what Aspergillus fumigatus fresenius did to candida albicans in the lab. If it kills the candida than that would explain allot. This fungus Aspergillus fumigatus fresenius also uses nano-technology and is genetically engineered. Aspergillus is the most common allergenic mold and in this case it was bound to fumigatus (obvious for fumigate) and fresenius (freshness). Am I the only one laughing? I am sure the drug companies will be laughing all the way to the bank!

Cancer is no laughing matter and medicine should be more concerned about people and not the million dollars they will make over the 10 year course for the average cancer patient!  Shark cartilage has been proven in studies to stop blood flow to tumors. These Bella Mira Essential Oils will be helpful for cancer: artemesia (wormwood), sage, Bergamot essential oil has been studied for its tumor shrinking effects on liver and colon cancer, clove is good for skin cancer, Melaleuca quinquinerveria ( Niaouli) is good for colon cancer and protecting against radiation, Cinnamon Bark essential oil increases the body's (TNF) Tumor Necrosis Factor an immune system chemical that fights cancer, yarrow has possible anti-cancer and for protection from radiation burns, German Chamomile essential oil also inhibits the protein that allow cancer cells to attach to new sites within the body, German Chamomile essential oil also prevents cancer cells from growing their own blood supply, German Chamomile essential oil counter effects H Pylori, the bacteria known to cause peptic ulcers, some forms of stomach cancer and lymphoma, Rosemary essential oil prevents cancer cells mutation of DNA, Black Cumin has also been proven effective against the development of cancer, Studies on rats have shown Oregano essential oil to be effective against lung tumors, and A chemical found in Tangerine Essential Oil is very effective in shrinking tumors (apply over area).

Cancer can only grow in a acidic environment. It is of the utmost importance that you alkalize your body no mater what route of treatment you choose. This is most easily accomplished with a diet of only fruits and vegetables! This is extreme but necessary short term for extreme cases. For non-aggressive cancer you can change your diet and use Bella Mira Ph Rescue.

You can get PH tape or sticks at most pharmacies and health food stores. If you are below 7, testing your first morning urine; you are acidic. If your are acidic, a change of diet will quickly correct it. The chart below shows acidic and alkaline foods. Eat only alkaline foods until you are normal. If after 2 weeks this doesn't happen, you can take Bella Mira Ph Rescue starting at  4 capsules a day. Measure your urine every morning and add 1 capsule to your quota each day until you are always alkaline!

** These foods leave an alkaline ash but have an acidifying effect on the body.

Note: Once you have your body alkaline you need to correct the outgoing mineral deficiency. If you skip the alkalizing step and just take supplements you will not correct the situation. Your body cannot process and uptake minerals properly if the body is acidic.
