Perhaps, you might like to read these two articles :

1. Glutathione and whey protein help in cancer prevention and

treatment.

http://www.1whey2health.com/cancer_glutathione.htm

2. The Protein Powder You Should Never, Ever Buy

The pictures as attached files were taken from my pre-

Fukushima emergency stock selectively purchased keeping in mind the

eventuality that the Japanese radioactive fall-out may reach Malaysian

shores and space.

Ummm... unles you plan on giving out your gmail usename/password, maybe

you could post whatever that is here directly?

Good morning Dee,

which the glutathione is higher than in normal tissue.>

It is clear that high GSH levels protect cells, and low levels leave

them vulnerable. What is interesting to note, though, is that human cancer

cells generally have high GSH levels. Normally, glutathione levels are

tightly regulated by the cell, but in cancer, these levels are exceeded.

Again, something has gone terribly wrong here.Interestingly, when the

building blocks of glutathione are introduced into the system of a cancer

patient, it raises GSH in normal healthy cells but triggers the opposite

reaction in cancer cells, effectively shutting down their GSH production.

This is known as* negative feedback inhibition*, and it is a

technical term meaning your healthy cells get stronger, and your cancer

cells get weaker.

This enhances the effectiveness of the chemotherapy or radiation

treatment.At the same time, it reduces or eliminates side effects since your

healthy cells are not as vulnerable to damage. You are less damaged as a

result, and you feel much better than you would have without glutathione’s

help

Glutathione And Cancer - What Do I Need To Know To Protect My

Health?

http://www.immune-health-solutions-for-you.com/glutathione-and-cancer.html

Enzymes whose ability to catalyze a reaction depends on molecules

other than the substances on which they act directly are said to be under

allosteric control.* Allosteric control* refers to a type of enzyme

regulation involving the binding of a non-substrate molecule, known as the

allosteric effector, at locations on the enzyme other than the active site.

The name " allo " means other and " steric " refers to a position in a certain

amount of space. In other words, allosteric means " at another place. " An

allosteric site is a site at which a small regulatory molecule interacts

with an enzyme to inhibit or activate that specific enzyme; which is

different from the active site where catalytic activity occurs. The binding

of the allosteric effector is in general noncovalent and reversible. This

interaction thus changes the shape of the enzyme which, in turn, changes the

shape of the active site. This change in conformation will either inhibit or

enhance the catalysis of a reaction. So the allosteric control allows the

cell to regulate the needed substances quickly through inhibition and or

enhancement.

You are welcome Dee. My holistic outlook is:

Mother

Nature does the healing. "

Apologies

Typo: " Physians are.... "
