Challenge with diet and food supplements

It is nice to understand the potential activity or mechanism of action of food supplements and act on it. Example: "Vitamin C: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia

www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002404.htm

Function. Vitamin C is needed for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It is used to: Form an important protein used to make skin, tendons, ..."

That knowledge empowers you and helps you take action.  You run to the store and buy a good supply of vitamin C and take it for now and the future.  What the information can not tell you is just as important.  How much Vitamin C you need to actually have the benefit described? How long you should be doing this?  Is your body just getting rid of the extra or all of it?  Based on your chromosome heterogeneity, was it safe for you to have done it?  Are you missing a critical enzyme to process the vitamin?
The NIH is finding out that things that are promised by food supplements, when put to the test and scientific scrutiny, do not deliver a clearly evident output.  "Taking an apple a day" (low methionine food item) will prolong your life.  While the scientific evidence as to how this is possible is established:  Does it really happen? No.  Why? Because what is left out is even more important.  How many apples  a day should you eat, what type of apple, what else should accompany this practice to make this goal achievable (low calory diet)? And so on and so forth. We all know that food supplements can impact some of the signal transduction pathways in our cells and, as a result, they could potentially impact our lives in some beneficial ways.  But is it safe to constantly be bothering our signal transduction pathways?  Do you believe it is right to do so constantly?  Who said this pathway needs to be switched on all the time?  What guarantees you that the body will not respond and shut it off anyway as it always reacts to action that we deliberately impose upon it!
Keeping a pathway on all the time may impact another pathway all the time, and if you just happen to have the wrong gene for this particular game, you may start on some road you should not be on!  So please, just because it may make sense, it does not yet mean that it is true and relevant for YOU!

ARSENIC TRIOXIDE COULD SIGNIFICANTLY EXPAND ITS ROLE IN CANCER TREATMENT. AND VITAMIN C AND MICROHYDRIN COULD COME AT THE RESCUE.

Cancer cure is through death of cancer cell.  To date, the main way of death for cancer cellis through Caspase activation cascade.  In most cells, we know the main way the activation of Caspase occurs.  That is Cytochrome C is naturally anchored at the membrane inside the Mitochondria. The Anchor is in fact a chemical bonding or attachment through electrons like molecules do attach to each other.  We believe there, Cytochrome C is attached to a Cardiolipin which is part of lipid of the membrane.  Just imagine another molecule showing up with free electron, the free electron could attract and pull the one involved in the attachment and break free the Cytochrome C.  Cytochrome C electron no longer attached comes out and activate the Caspase (mostly Caspase 9 which eventually activates members of its family) and there start the Caspase work to coagulate DNA and genes start breaking leading to cancer cell death.  One of molecule that produces such disturbing free electrons, is Arsenic Trioxide.  This delivery of free electrons by arsenic trioxide is not limited to the mitochondria.   It occurs through the cytosol (liquid milieu of the cell) disrupting many cellular pathways, delivering global intracellular disruption.  ( for those savvy people, do remember that the " breaking" of the anchor could be induced from outside the Mitochondrial membrane through the AKT or Bax effect--this is where Bcl-2 negative effect is the strongest )  arsenic trioxide

This global disruption has been established to treat Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL)  (by the way, Chinese researchers lead the way on this one).  Frankly speaking, this "Global disruption"can be used in any cancer.  The problem is that it can occur in any cell, including our normal cells.  Giving caution to the amount you use because of a narrow safety index. 

Vitamin C and Microhydryn have also free electron, that is why they can cool down free radicals and therefore are called Anti-Oxydants .  The free electrons of these compounds seem to add to those of Arsenic Trioxide to Increase toxicity to the cancer cell.   It is worth mentioning that, at the DNA level, these free electron break the strand, triggering our first law (activation of P53 and stoppage of cell cycle).

3 main problems

1. Good and bad pathways are stopped, mitigating the effects of global destruction.
2. (non selectivity) Good and bad cells are killed. This effect is worse in patients with poor reserve of free electron clearing molecules (Gluthation based, Superoxide based and others).  (CAUTION TO EVERYONE)
3. Arsenic is hard to get rid of, and chronic exposure signs will result.

But frankly speaking, you can use this to kill any Cancer.  Research will continue at CRBCM no matter what!
