Many thanks, Ihor. The new findings are interesting because Zyflamend

was promoted originally for joint problems & inflammation. There was

no mention of its use in prostate cancer originally. See:

NMK08001 Zyflamend 60g/Joint+Inflam

DETAILS: Zyflamend blends 10 herbs containing at least 78 known

active constituents shown to inhibit the COX-2 enzyme associated with

inflammation.

Zyflamend promotes normal cell growth, healthy joint function, normal

muscle and soft tissue function, supports cardiovascular function and

normal cognition, and provides a rich source of antioxidants to protect

against the undesirable effects of aging.

Hi All, & Ihor,

Re: Zyflamend and Prostate Cancer, note that the encouraging in-vitro

(LAB) results have NOT been assessed in clinical human cases yet.

http://www.thehealthierlife.co.uk/article/3471/prostate-cancer.html says

that the Columbia team has started to test Zyflamend in a human trial

that's already underway. The study [funded by the manufacturers, New

Chapter Inc., Battleboro, VT) is designed to examine the effects of

Zyflamend on patients who are diagnosed with prostatic intraepithelial

neoplasia (PIN). PIN is a condition in which the cells on the prostate

gland's surface divide more rapidly than the rest of the prostate cells.

Research shows that men diagnosed with PIN have a sharply increased

risk of developing prostate cancer. Researchers are examining the use

of Zyflamend on nearly 50 men, aged 40-75, who have been diagnosed

with PIN. The trial period will run for 18 months, so the results will not

be available until next year at the earliest.

See http://www.hnherbs.com/inflammationdirectscan.pdf for a useful

article: " Inflammation Control Options from Nature " By Yousry Naguib,

Ph.D. That article summarises some of the actions of the ingredients in

Zyflamend.

Note that Dr. Naguib has an interest in Soft Gel Technologies Inc (Los

Angeles), and that Zyflamend (New Chapter Inc., Battleboro, VT) uses

softgel in its delivery system.
