For those
technically minded, the following is an outline of some of
the known factors involved in cancers.
I. Pathogenesis
- Three known ways of
inducing cancers:
- RNA viruses (many are
retroviruses) that carry proto-oncogenes stolen from other
cells and mutated
- Oncogenes induced by
carcinogens
- DNA viruses contain
genes to move the cancer from a G0 resting state into an active state
- Growth suppressor genes
must be turned off
- Apoptosis must be turned
off
- 1.Upregulation of Bcl
- 1.Downregulation of
fas
- The immune system is
suppressed
- 1.Immune system
inhibitory factors
- 1.Fibrin
coating of cells
- 1.Bacterial and viral
superinfections?
- Production of
telomerase
- Production of epithelial
growth factors
- Production of proteases
necessary for metastases
II. Biochemical
abnormalities of cancer cells
- Suceptible to heat
- Crave sugar
- Need large blood supply
- Take up nitrogen
- Lack catalase
- Resonate at a specific
frequency
- Proliferate rapidly
- Express neo-surface
antigens
- Live in more acidic pH
III. Anti-cancer
strategies Kill RNA viruses
| Redifferentiate |
DNA Kill DNA viruses |
| Turn on growth
suppressor genes |
Anti-angiogenesis |
| Restore normal
apoptosis |
Protease
inhibitors |
| Improve the immune
system |
(particularly NK cells)
Protect DNA from mutations |
| Use antivirals and
antibacterials? |
Use
hyperthermia |
| Remove fibrin coating
from cancer cells |
Stimulate lymphatic
supply |
| Turn off
telomerases |
Improve nutritional
status |
| Nitrogenate anti-cancer
agents |
Super-resonatecancer cells--sound |
| Build up hydrogen
peroxide inside of cells |
Oxygenate
cells |
| Decrease
sugar |
Decrease
proliferation |
| Increase
detoxification |
