Current research
states that 6-10 time every day, a human body goes through the opportunity
to go into onco-genetic expression, meaning that you have the option to go
ahead and form a tumor. Those 6-10 times it does not happen because of the
fact that apoptosis (death messages that come to an abnormal cell)
successfully do what they are designed to do in their genetic programming.
When a cancer cell establishes, in order for it to live, it needs to
receive the so called do not die messages. These cells depend on very
abnormally high levels of cell signaling or chattering in order to survive
and if they dont receive this fairly continuous levels of cell signals as
well as do not die messages they will literally self destruct through
apoptosis. All of that cell signaling is transduced by the action of
certain proteins. There is a lot of new
research about these proteins specifically the P53 and P21 proteins. The
P53 proteins are the guardians of the DNA. They monitor for DNA damage,
and if any is detected, they will either halt the cell cycle to stop it
from replication or they will initiate DNA repair, usually through DNA
enzymes which are all zinc and magnesium dependent. If the cell is
irreparable, the P53s will actually induce apoptosis. There are 10-15
residues that are linked to the protein through zinc so the P53 is
absolutely zinc dependent and as a resul,t it is totally inactivated by
the presence of heavy metals, particularly cadmium and
copper. One of the real
difficulties we are having is that the presence of these metals (and its
not very hard to have them because zinc deficiency is so widespread) will
lead the P53 to inactivation and this will lead to the deregulation of
cancer because the irreparable cells will not die and will have a chance
to replicate. Todays research shows that this is the base of where solid
tumors form. But there is good
news! One of the really interesting aspects is that the apoptotic actions
of the P53 proteins can be stimulated by natural compounds and they can
still have the ability to go on a seek and destroy mission for these
altered cancer cells. Curcumin is one of the best natural compounds,
followed by resveratrol, green tea catechins, quercetin and vitamin E.
Green tea catechins and curcurmin have been shown to induce apoptosis in
leukemia and breast cancer cells exactly like a chemotherapy agent would
without the damage that occurs to normal cells during chemotherapy. These
extracts will actually reactivate the P53 proteins which have been
inactivated by zinc deficiency and metal toxicity which is huge news! So
action to take: It is always important to get tested for heavy metals and
use therapies to chelate and mobilize those metals out of the body.
However if you know your metals are above normal, you should increase your
intake of zinc and the above mentioned compounds to counteract the effects
the metals have on the body. | ||||

I know that
drinking water is good for us, but I just can't seem to get enough, any
ideas? Getting our daily
requirement of water helps our organs perform their functions, keeps our
skin clear and hydrated, and allows physical action in our bodies to flow
smoothly. Even with this knowledge, it can still be challenging to drink
all the water our bodies deserve daily. Especially in the summer, when we
tend to play hard, break a sweat, drinking plenty of water is critical.
Those who are not drinking enough may experience poor digestion, sluggish
thinking, skin breakouts, headaches, bad breath and general
fatigue. To start your day
right, set a large glass of water by your bed each night and drink it when
you wake up. When the first thing that flows through your body each
morning is water, it pulls out toxins left over from the previous day and
freshens your system for the day ahead. Keep a bottle of water accessible
throughout the day, whether you are on the go or at a desk. Having one
close by will remind you to take a sip when thirsty. The first sip will
usually let you know how much more water you need. A sip or two may be
enough, or you may need a big glass. If you drink most of your daily water
before early evening, you most likely will not be thirsty before bed. This
is good, because drinking before bed, and then waking to use the bathroom,
disturbs your peaceful nights sleep. What about quality?
Some people like bottled water, while others prefer filtered water. The
key is to like the taste of the water you are drinking, and the water
should agree with your body. Tap is not the best option as it may contain
many toxins and fluoride (yes fluoride is considered a toxin-more on that
in future newsletters). If the taste of plain water is unappealing,
experiment to see how you can make it tasty and drinkable. Adding a few
mint leaves, a wedge of lemon, a sprig of parsley, slices of cucumber, or
a twist of lime are all great.
