These foods KILL cancer cells better than chemotherapy

Cancer remains one of the trickiest medical conditions to treat, with no clear solution or completely effective treatment. Because it strikes so many people, it has also been the subject of countless studies. In this huge body of research, some foods have been repeatedly identified as being effective at killing cancer stem cells. This is […]

Another reason to cut carbs and sugar: Cancer cells thrive on glucose

What could be more amazing than accidentally discovering a non-toxic, truly effective treatment for cancer? That’s exactly what happened when Dr. Dominic D’Agostino, an assistant professor at the University of South Florida College of Medicine, Molecular Pharmacology & Physiology, was investigating the reason why navy seals sometimes suddenly experience seizures underwater when using oxygen rebreathers. […]

Cancer “kill switch” discovered: Scientists have figured out how to make cancer cells “commit suicide” simultaneously

It looks like we’re making progress in the battle against the Big C. A group of scientists has revealed that they have discovered “a way to make cancer cells kill themselves in multiple ways, simultaneously.” In a news release, Marcus Peter, the study’s lead scientist at Northwestern University, shared, “It’s like committing suicide by stabbing […]

Chemotherapy found to increase the number of tumor cells circulating in the blood, spreading it to previously unaffected areas

Chemotherapy is a pretty scary prospect, but a lot of people are convinced by their doctors that its potential benefits are worth enduring the very unpleasant side effects. Unfortunately, a new study shows that getting chemotherapy before surgery can actually increase the tumor cells in your blood and spread the cancer to other areas. This […]

That’s hot: New self-regulating nanoparticles heat up to kill cancer cells, then cool before harming healthy tissue

Scientists from the University of Surrey in Guildford, England have given rise to “intelligent” nanoparticles which heat up to a temperature that is high enough to eradicate carcinogenic cells but which then control themselves and lose heat before they get hot enough to harm healthy tissue. This breakthrough is seen as a way to treat […]

Reinventing the ancient art of calligraphy… as a non-invasive cancer treatment

The American Chemical Society, reporting in ACS Omega, said that a plant-based ink that was once used by Chinese calligraphers to paint beautiful art can now be used to non-invasively treat cancer cells that metastasize to lymph nodes. Let us first consider a process called photothermal therapy (PTT). This is a relatively new procedure in […]

Chemotherapy obsolete? “Ceramide nanoliposome” uses liposomal delivery to target and kill cancer cells without harming healthy cells

Penn State researchers have developed a new compound, called ceramide nanoliposome, that has the potential to replace radiation and chemotherapy in the future. This new drug is able to smart kill tumors, meaning it targets and destroys cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. In 2005, James Adair, professor of materials science and engineering, biomedical […]

Medical BOMBSHELL: Chemotherapy found to spread cancer

New research conducted at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University has found that chemotherapy spreads cancer throughout the body, causing a sharp increase in cancer cells circulating throughout the body (including the lungs). Led by Dr. George Karagiannis, the research focused on chemotherapy treatment of breast cancer, but further studies plan to […]
