When the scientists inserted human colorectal cancer cells into zebrafish embryos and allowed them to grow for 4 days, the resulting tumors showed three hallmarks of human solid tumors: rapid cell division, formation of blood vessels to supply nutrients, and the ability to spread to other locations in the body.

As a result, these blood vessels will be structured more tightly, which can prevent cancer cells from spreading to other organs.

This blood vessel normalization results in an increased barrier function on the one hand — thereby blocking cancer cell dissemination and metastasis - and in enhanced tumor perfusion on the other hand, which increases the response of the tumor to chemotherapy.

The results show that generation of an optimal immune response to cancer requires cooperation between two types of memory T cell — one circulating in the blood and the other resident in tissues — that can be reactivated with current immunotherapy strategies.

The results reinforce the importance of survivors receiving annual medical screenings to check blood pressure, weight, cholesterol and other health indicators, said the study's first and corresponding author Greg Armstrong, M.D., an associate member of the St. Jude Department of Epidemiology and Cancer Control.

These inflammatory cytokines have also been shown to cause cancer to spread (metastasize) to other organs, 9 result in further inflammation, and even cause tumors to increase their blood supply (angiogenesis).10 This in itself creates somewhat of a (free - range pastured) chicken versus the egg argument in terms of whether inflammation causes cancer or cancer causes inflammation.

The chronically stressed mice had decreased immune function and experienced tumor development significantly earlier than the non-stressed mice.16 Other mouse studies of ovarian cancer showed that chronic stress resulted in increased cancer growth as well as increased angiogenesis, the process with which cancer forms new blood vessels to feed itself nutrients for growth and metastases.17 Chronic stress has also been shown to decrease our body's ability to mount an attack against foreign invaders, including viruses.18 As we know that several viruses can cause cancer (HPV and cervical cancer, and EBV and nasopharyngeal cancer), we can extrapolate that any decrease in immune function could increase cancer risk.

Remove the cause (Undigested Foods) from faulty eating habits that constitutes it as an «Acid Forming Diet» which is poisoning humans on a cellular diseased level and you will eliminate a host of diseased conditions such as Digestive Disorders (Colitis, Crohns», Acid Reflux), Skin Diseases, Cancer, Heart Disease, Strokes, Alzheimers, Blood Disorders and countless of many other diseases that results from eating an «Acid Forming Diet».

It is prescribed for edema in Germany and may be safer than other remedies because it replenishes potassium.910 Preliminary animal studies suggest that dandelion may help normalize blood sugar and fight inflammation.11 Dandelion root extract caused cancer cells to destroy themselves in a Canadian lab study, which prompted a clinical study (the results of which are not yet available).12

While recently diagnosed cancer or heart disease results in automatic declines, other conditions, including diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, can result in a rating, but the ultimate effect depends on the severity of the condition.

Diseases of particular interest to Dr. Culp include malignant obstructions (cancer resulting in blockage of the urethra, ureter, trachea, esophagus, and colon), non-resectable tumors (tumors that can not be removed with traditional surgical techniques), tumors that can be treated with direct delivery of chemotherapy to their blood vessels, vascular abnormalities (portosystemic shunts, arteriovenous malformations) and other conditions causing blockage of the ureter.
