Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Chemo Drugs 'Destroy Brain Cells' Chemotherapy Can Cause Severe Side EffectsDrugs used to destroy cancer cells may actually be more harmful to healthy cells in the brain, research suggests. A team from New York's University of Rochester found several types of key brain cell were highly vulnerable to the drugs. They say it might help explain side effects such as seizures and memory loss associated with chemotherapy - collectively dubbed 'chemo brain'. The research is published in the Journal of Biology. This is the first study that puts chemo brain on a sound scientific footing Dr Mark NobleUniversity of RochesterDrug therapy for cancer can prompt a wide range of neurological side effects, even the onset of dementia. But they were thought not to be directly linked to the drug treatment itself. Instead, some doctors have put them down to the patient's vulnerable psychological state. The latest study found that dose levels typically used when treating patients killed 40% to 80% of cancer cells - but 70% to 100% of human brain cells grown in the lab, and caused serious damage to brain cells when given to mice. Several types of healthy brain cell continued to die for at least six weeks after exposure. Common drugs tested Lead researcher Dr Mark Noble said: "This is the first study that puts chemo brain on a sound scientific footing, in terms of neurobiology and cellular biology." The Rochester team carried out tests with three drugs used to treat a wide range of cancers: carmustine, cisplatin and cytosine arabinoside. All three drugs were toxic to several types of brain cell whose job is to repair other cells in the brain - even at very low concentrations. They also killed off oligodenrocyte cells, which play a key role in the transmission of messages around the nervous system. The researchers suggest damage to cells in the hippocampus, which is responsible for memory and learning, is most likely to explain chemo brain symptoms. Professor John Toy, Cancer Research UK¿s medical director, said: "The doses of therapy needed to treat cancer while leaving the body's healthy cells as unharmed as possible is a fine balance judged by experienced specialists. *---Translation: “We have to carefully measure the poison we’re giving you so that you don’t die. We’re good at it because if you die, we stop getting money”"They aim to maximize benefits and minimize damage. Unfortunately side-effects can include toxicity to the brain.*---Brain Toxicity seems unimportant to this “Cancer Specialist”. The body is not Berlin in 1943, you can’t just kill indiscriminately. These are the same people that loved putting leeches on us to drain the humors. This is one of their new ideas."This research in mice may hopefully suggest new ways of researching how this toxicity might be overcome. *---Instead of realizing that Chemo is not the way, they want to spend more money, the name of the game, on “research” instead of looking upon successes all over the world in Alternative cancer research."It is important to remember, however, that all presently available cancer treatments have gone through extensive clinical trials to ensure that their benefits outweigh unwanted effects. *---This is the assumption of every Western doctor. “The research says this”. How long have these drugs been around? How about long term studies? The drug regulation bureaus in this country are atrocious. Aspirin is on the market now having never been approved. Oh guess what, it dissolves your stomach lining, but Bayer aspirin is still allowed to suggest taking it everyday."No patient should stop their treatment because of this research." *---And then we come to the point. After the research to confirms the Chemo drugs carpet bomb the cells in your body and do heavy damage to the brain we get the AMA claptrap “YOU SHALL NOT SEEK ALTERNATIVES”.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Oh my yes....I have a neighbor that had cancer and they gave her lots of chemo and she went nuts tottally lost her mind. before she finally died..they can keep their poison....bj --- Kathy <vanokat wrote: > Chemo Drugs 'Destroy Brain Cells' > Chemotherapy Can Cause Severe Side Effects > > > > Drugs used to destroy cancer cells may actually be more harmful to healthy cells in the brain, > research suggests. > A team from New York's University of Rochester found several types of key brain cell were highly > vulnerable to the drugs. > They say it might help explain side effects such as seizures and memory loss associated with > chemotherapy - collectively dubbed 'chemo brain'. > The research is published in the Journal of Biology. > > This is the first study that puts chemo brain on a sound scientific footing > > > Dr Mark Noble > University of Rochester > > > Drug therapy for cancer can prompt a wide range of neurological side effects, even the onset of > dementia. > But they were thought not to be directly linked to the drug treatment itself. > Instead, some doctors have put them down to the patient's vulnerable psychological state. > > The latest study found that dose levels typically used when treating patients killed 40% to 80% > of cancer cells - but 70% to 100% of human brain cells grown in the lab, and caused serious > damage to brain cells when given to mice.
