Exactly...here's an article that explains it: Cancer Loves Sugar

 

However, it was thought for a long time that cancer cells (tumors) were acidic. Turns out they happen to be alkaline. Go figger.

Drug causes tumour cells to self-destruct

Tuesday, October 2, 2007

 

Drug causes tumour cells to self-destruct :

 

Barcelona: Doctors are hopeful about a new drug to treat skin cancer by

causing tumor cells to self-destruct by overloading them with oxygen.

 

Unlike regular cells, which naturally cannot have their oxidant levels

raised beyond a certain threshold, cancer cells cannot balance the

amount of free radicals inside them.

 

With the new drug STA-4783, doctors may be able to overload the cancer

cells with oxygen-containing chemicals to the point where the cells

cannot cope and simply die off, according to research presented

Wednesday at a meeting of the European Cancer Organization in Barcelona.

â?oWe are taking advantage of the Achilles heel of cancer

cells,â? said Dr Anthony Williams, vice president of clinical

research at Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp, based in Lexington,

Massachusetts, which paid for the study. STA-4783, which has no effect

on normal cells, is the first of several such drugs planned for study,

though no other companies have yet to release results from their

research.

 

It could also be used against other cancers, such as pancreatic or

ovarian, as they have been shown to naturally contain higher levels of

oxygen. Because cancerous tumor cells already have high oxygen levels,

they are easier to overload. Doctors said the study focused on skin

cancer, though, as melanoma tumors were particularly deadly. Williams

detailed how the drug doubled the amount of time that advanced melanoma

patients survived without their cancer worsening.

 

The study followed 81 patients with serious skin cancer: 28 received the

standard chemotherapy drug paclitaxel and lived an average of 1.8

months, while 53 got paclitaxel plus the new drug and survived an

average of 3.7 months. Because STA-4783 targets only cancer cells,

Williams said the drug does not come with too many side effects. Less

than 5% of patients suffered serious side effects, which were similar to

those seen in regular chemotherapy treatments, such as a temporary

lowering of white blood cells, back pain and fatigue. AP

How does that square with all the successful treatments that use

alkaline pH therapy?

 

BTW - those of you who get the [!!SPAM] in your subjects for group

messages should add the group email address

(oleander soup ) to your addrss book.

 

Idiotic automated spam cops software! It identifies about 1/3 of the

ebooks I mail out as spam. Grrrrrr!

 

David, I hope you caught the message about updating your OS

instructions on your wellness site to say begin with 1/4 to 1/2

teaspoon and work up slowly to 1 tablespoon doses.

Okay, now I'm confused. Cancer cells are supposed to die if oxygen

introduced. The lack of oxygen usually available to normal cells

causes cancer cells to flourish. Now they say the opposite below in

the rest of the thread, that cancer cells have too much oxygen.
