Resveratrol to fight cancer

[Guest guest]

About Resveratrol

A series of laboratory experiments suggests that resveratrol inhibits the

development of cancer in animals and prevents the progression of cancer.

However, human research is still needed in this area. In another set of animal

studies, resveratrol was shown to inhibit both the acute and chronic phases of

inflammation.

Hu zhang (Polygonum cuspidatum) is a Chinese herb actually a weed that is the

world's richest source of resveratrol,the phytochemical also found in red wine

that has generated a huge buzz for its disease-preventive actions in the body. A

large body o fresearch supports the role of resveratrol in resisting cancer,

inflammation and heart disease. Resveratrol has been found to suppress the

activation of inflammatory cytokines and COX-2, and shows special promise in

preventing and slowing the progression of breast cancer. Resveratrol is also a

potent antioxidant.

cfor_cancerVirtually every pathway for tumor growth and propagation is blocked

by resveratrol. Researchers appear to have developed a consensus that low

concentrations of resveratrol cannot only counteract tumor initiation but can

inhibit tumor cell survival. Resveratrol targets the very machinery inside cells

that promote tumor cell survival. It appears to be able to concentrate its

action on tumor cells rather than healthy cells. Resveratrol has also has the

ability to induce cancer cells, but not normal cells, to die off.

=========================================================

A partial estrogen receptor agonist itself, resveratrol is believed by some

researchers to be an estrogen-receptor antagonistin the presence of estrogen,

resulting in breast cancer inhibition. Finally, resveratrol has recently shown

activity against herpes simplex vims types 1 and 2 in a dose-dependent manner.

It appears to disrupt a critical early event in the viral reproduction cycle.

We just picked this up today as our very savy health consultant told

us about it.

The research was done in the university of Denver, but I can't find the

research

" There's no doubt, if you feed an animal this stuff, they're going to get less

cancer, " says Dr. Sclafani, Chair of the Biochemistry and Molecular

Biology Department at CU Denver.

Try to e-mail the researchers.

Do you see any positive effect?

I wonder if I can find it here in Kuala Lumpur.
