Re: Re: Iron & Cancer: Lactoferrin

        Glutathione (Full name:

N-L-gamma-glutamyl-cysteinyl glycine, shortened form: GSH is a tripeptide

consisting of three amino acids: cysteine, glycine and glutamic acid. It is the

body's primary antioxidant, and is essential in keeping the right balance

between the oxidant production and antioxidant defence within cells. A loss of

this balance is a common feature in many human diseases, and oxidative stress

within cells is mainly due to deficiency of glutathione or its precursors  as in Hashimoto Sisease .Whey contains these

glutathione precursors  (cysteine,

glycine and glutamic acid ) and lactoferrin

 

     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. Glutathione is bidirectional.

 

     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

        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.

Hi Dr. L. and everyone else:

Kira in Oregon here. If you're able to clarify the iron/cancer/autoimmune issue for me with input, it'd be greatly appreciated.

I'm a Hashi's/multiple autoimmune disorders patient with chronically low ferritin and severe restless legs, for which I take 30 mg. iron glycinate nightly. I also do the iodine protocol for FBD.

After reading the posts to Luci I'm wondering about switching to Lactoferrin, but the supplement facts on " Laktoferrin " says:

" CAUTION: Lactoferrin may act as an immune stimulant. Research indicates elevated levels of lactoferrin are present in conditions of lymphocytic leukemia and pancreatitis, suggesting a potential, but undetermined contraindication. Individuals with autoimmune or allergic conditions should start with small doses and consult their healthcare practitioner " .

I know the same could be said for taking iron, and iron is pro-oxidative, encourages tumor growth, etc. Therefore, my confusion on what dose or what combo of lactoferrin and iron might help for restless legs/low ferritin?

Any advice welcome. Thanks! Kira
