urea

[Guest guest]

I received this fax from a 90 year old doctor and was not given

permission to put it on the internet. Nevertheless, it is hot off the

fax and I find it fascinating.

Begin:

This is to write about the anticancer effect of oral urea.

Over the past 27 years, I have helped a great many cancer

patients and most of them have had liver metastases. Oral

urea is ever so effective for liver cancer.

Here is the first report in The Lancet in 1974 on treating

liver cancer with oral urea by Professor Danopoulos. We

became dear friends. He died about seven years ago.( Not including

this)

More in his report in Clinical Oncology in 1983 on using

urea as a monotherapy to obtain a complete remission with an

utterly hopeless case of rectal cancer.

Here are two letters from my friend Doug Manning, MD. His

brother in law had surgery for colon cancer In 1995. At the

time of surgery, a small liver metastases was seen. He was

started an chemotherapy. It was as if the chemotherapy was

causing the progression of the liver cancer. In early 1997 it

was undertaken to excise his liver tumors. The surgeon took

one look and sewed him up. He was given a hopeless prognosis.

Doctor Manning made contact with me. He ordered urea here in

the USA and his brother in law started self medication with

urea and cimetidine. Very quickly he began to feel well and

living a normal life. He was symptom free for five years

when he developed a problem not involved with cancer. The

doctor treating him took him off urea and cimetidine. He

quickly developed liver cancer. This time he was treated with

chemotherapy. He was removed from chemotherapy and two months

ago he died of progressing liver cancer.

Here is a letter from a breast cancer patient in Australia.

When liver metastases cause swelling in the area of the liver,

it is a very bad sign. She was swollen. The swelling subsided

quickly on urea. She had about five good years and died of a

brain metastasis. Urea is effective for the liver only.

I hear from Chang in Singapore about once a year. He had

surgery for colon cancer in 1985. The surgeon saw a large

liver metastasis. He was not offered chemotherapy. He was

given a survival of six months. He called me by phone and I

sent him urea from the USA. He took urea for two years all

the while feeling fine. He told his doctor about it and

he

did a liver scan. His tumor was there the same as it had been

two years before. His doctor then went to customs and fixed

it so that he could not bring in urea from the USA.

He called me in distress. I called Mallenkrodt Chemical Co. and they

had an office and warehouse in Singapore. He could go down

town and buy urea.

He took urea until 1990 at which time he had a liver scan. He

had only fibrous tissue where his tumor had been. He is cured

of liver cancer. He has not taken urea since 1990.

He told me a story. There was a very poor Chinese woman with

gastric cancer who was so swollen with liver metastases that

she looked to be full term pregnant. He gave her some urea

and the swelling went down quickly. In time she died of the

gastric primary.

What's a humectant? Here is an explaination of what urea does in

lotion.Keep going down the page to read the rest.

A humectant is a water binding

substance that is capable of retaining large amounts of water

(relative to their weight) in the skin, thereby helping to keep the skin

smooth and supple. Binding of water at the skin surface is accomplished by

humectants e.g. glycerin, glycols. Urea is a soluble humectant known as a

natural moisturising factor NMF (along with certain amino acids).

17. How is Urea present in normal skin?

Urea is an essential NMF in skin along with epidermal lipids and

proteins, all of which are produced during the keratinisation process. It

gets into the horny layer as an end product of the decomposition of the

amino acid, arginine (a building block in proteins), during the

keratinisation process. Urea represents 7% of the NMF in the horny layer.

18. What are Urea's advantages? Urea penetrates and re-hydrates the

stratum comeum. Also, the addition of Urea to dermatological preparations

increases the penetration of other substances e.g. corticosteriods, which

are attributed to Urea's ability to increase skin hydration after

application.

It also has anti-pruritic activity (stops itching) based on local

anaesthetic effects.

The proteolytic characteristics of urea are also well recognised,

where depending on the concentration, urea modifies the structure of

amino-chains as well as of polypeptides. This is significant for skin

moisturising since a correlation exists between water content and amino acid

content in skin - the drier the skin the lower the share of dissolved amino

acids. Urea also helps in higher concentrations (10%) to reduce scales and

calluses

Ok, I googled Urea to see what the heck it is (
