Vit C + Macrophage + Cancer

[Guest guest]

Hi,

if you have cancer there are two paths.

1. become a helpless victim of the medical system. Give all responsibility to

someone else.

2. try and become an informed patient. Take some responsibility for choice of

treatment

yourself.

If you choose the latter, which I reccommend, then you would be well advised to

learn about

the immune system and immune activation. Immune activation will work in synergy

with the

raw vegetable diet, Laetrile B17 therapy, oxygen therapy etc.

Healthy active Macrophages can kill cancer cells.

Macrophages are usually asleep and can do nothing. Macrophages can be woken up

or

activated by macrophage activators, like mushroom extracts, beta glucan or

mannin,

Vitamin D binding protein and herbs like astragalus.

Waking up or activating the macrophage is just the first step.

Macrophages need food after awakening. One food that macrophages need is

VITAMIN

C. This is a consumable item, something that cant be stored and will need

continual

supplementation for optimal macrophage health. The amount of Vitamin C in the

macrophage can be a thousand times higher than in the nearby blood serum.

To run the car you need two things...1, the ignition key. 2. the Petrol.

The ignition key is analagous to the macrophage activator like beta glucan or

vitamin D

binding protein.

The Petrol or macrophage fuel is Vitamin C.

Animals with a diet low in Vitamin C develp very small macrophages, those with

lots of

Vitamin C develop larger macrophages.

Animals with low Vitamin C have macrophages that can not move around the body

to

where they are needed, the place where the disease is.

Animals with low Vitamin C, have macrophages that can not make the anti-cancer

substances that the macrophage uses to kill the cancer cells.

Lack of Vitamin C leads to functional impairment of the cancer killing

macrophage cell.

No Vitamin C - poor health and activity of macrophages.

No immune activator like Beta Glucan, macrophages go to sleep and fail to reach

the

cytotoxic cancer killing stage of activation.

Macrophage function in vitamin C-deficient guinea pigs.

Ganguly R, Durieux MF, Waldman RH

Guinea pigs were fed a vitamin C-deficient diet and at various time periods

thereafter their peritoneal cells were tested for biological activity.Fewer

macrophages were

obtained from the peritoneal cavities of deficient animals and in structural

appearance

under the phase contrast and light microscope they were smaller in size. The

macrophages, however, exhibited significantly reduced migration on glass as

compared to

the normal cells. In vitro addition of vitamin C partially reversed this reduced

migration.

Macrophage functions in aging: effects of vitamin C deficiency.

Ganguly R, Waldman RH

Groups of young adult and senescent guinea pigs were fed normal and vitamin C

deficient diets for 4 weeks and tested for their peritoneal macrophage

functions. Adverse effects of vitamin C deficiency were enhanced in aged

animals.

Deficient senescent animals had greater decline in macrophage random migration

and bactericidal capacity. Following phagocytic stimuli, superoxide anion

generation also significantly decreased. Data suggest that vitamin C deficiency

might affect macrophage functions in the aged more profoundly and could

compromise parameters of host defenses effective against microbial infections.
