(NaturalHealth365) Evidence of how harmful certain carbohydrates («bad carbs») can be to our health keeps mounting, and a recent study adds even more motivation to cut out those sugars that
trigger the growth of cancer cells.
Are there any other ways to strike at the fundamental mechanisms that
trigger growth of cancer cells?

New findings published in the Proceedings
of the National Academy
of Sciences showed in lab studies that supplementing an epigenetic
cancer drug called decitabine with vitamin C enhanced the drug's ability to impede
cancer cell growth and
trigger cellular self - destruction in
cancer cell lines.
In contrast, viruses that cause
cancer, such as the human papillomavirus that is responsible for most cases
of cervical
cancer, disrupt a
cell's genome, thereby
triggering out -
of - control
growth.
Recent mouse studies have found that a stiffer extracellular matrix
triggers the production
of proteins that promote the
growth of precancerous breast
cancer cells.
When massive
cell growth is
triggered, say by the loss
of a limb, there is a risk that this burst
of cellular
growth can proliferate uncontrollably and develop nefarious
cancer cells.
Lauric Acid inhibited the viability
of both
cancer cell types without altering the
growth of MCF - 10A normal breast epithelial
cells, thus suggesting its specific potential to
trigger antiproliferative effects in malignant
cells.
Iron also suppresses the immune system, promotes
cancer cell growth, and
triggers the creation
of blood - clotting platelets, for example, increasing the risk for heart disease and stroke.
Because cold laser therapy
triggers growth and the rejuvenation
of some
cells, it also can stimulate blood flow to
cancer cells in pets with
cancer and is not recommended for those patients.
