Sugar Metabolism and Cancer

[Guest guest]

In 1952, a great scientist by the name of Dr. Otto Warburg received the

Nobel Prize in medicine for discovering the cause of cancer.

 

In regard to Dr. Otto Warburg's cancer research back in the 30's, 40's,

50's and 60's - there is this paragraph in regard to lactic acid production

and cancer cells pH level:

 

The crux of his (Dr. Otto Warburg) Nobel thesis was that malignant tumors

frequently exhibit an increase in anaerobic glycolysis -- a process whereby

glucose is used as a fuel by cancer cells with lactic acid as an anaerobic

byproduct -- compared to normal tissues. The large amount of lactic acid

produced by this fermentation of glucose from cancer cells is then

transported to the liver.

 

This conversion of glucose to lactate generates a lower, more acidic pH in

cancerous tissues as well as overall physical fatigue from lactic acid

buildup. Thus, larger tumors tend to exhibit a more acidic pH.

 

The above information on the cause of cancer is important to understand

because of the recent developments as follows:

 

First, many of you know Shelley and I purchased an organic avocado ranch

last year where we have been doing research and developing many new products

for health and wellness, using avocados. We just released two of these

products, through Innerlight, Inc. in an avocado/aloe shampoo and

conditioner.

 

Second, it is no coincidence that the ranch is called Ranch Avorado after

one of her characters in her, soon to be released, children's book, the

Avorado Kid. She is also releasing a new recipe book, called " Back to the

House of Health, 2 " this Fall with incredible recipes using avocados.

 

Third, an important research development in regard to the glucose

controlling properties of Avocado's by inhibiting glucokinase responsible

for glycolysis that in turn retards and reduces tumor growth.

 

Limiting sugar consumption is not the only line of defense for preventing

and reversing cancer. In fact, a botanical extract from the avocado plant is

showing promise as a new cancer adjunct. When a purified avocado extract was

added to a number of tumor cell lines tested in vitro by researchers in the

Department of Biochemistry at Oxford University in Britain, they found it

inhibited tumor cell glucose uptake by 25 to 75 percent, and it inhibited

the enzyme glucokinase responsible for glycolysis. It also inhibited the

growth rate of the cultured tumor cell lines.

 

The same researchers gave lab animals a 1.7 mg/g body weight dose of the

extract for five days; it reduced tumors by 65 to 79 percent. Based on these

studies, there is good reason to believe that avocados and the soon to be

announced extract could help cancer patients by limiting glucose to the

tumor cells.

 

So, drink an Avorado Kid SuperGreen Shake everyday and an Avorado Kid

SuperGreen Popsicle -- just two of Shelley's incredible inventions. (You can

learn more about the incredible benefits of avocados and taste many of the

new avocado products we are developing at the next Retreat in March, at

Ranch Avarado, Valley Center, California) Not only do these new products

taste great but they are a great prevention for over-acidity which may

prevent or reverse diabetes and/or cancer.

 

In Love and InnerLight,

PS More of the healing medicinal benefits of avocados will be presented in

our new release from AOL Time Warner Books in April/May of 2004. Look for

National publicity when the news hits! The book is called, The pH Miracles

of Type I and Type II Diabetes.

 

PSS No wonder Shelley calls avocados God's butter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
