Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Medline is www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed ; type in the number to see the article. Brief history of TAC (Thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid). A. Relative to Dr. Gosalvez, Director of Spanish Biochemical Research from 1970 to 2000 - 1979: Medline 6101417 - Dr. Gosalvez (and Dr. Brugarolas) use TAC (only) in a clinical trial and achieve the " ...disappearance of evidence of cancer. " ; daily oral dosage 5 mg/kg; intravenous 20 mg/kg; intramuscular 40 mg/kg. Oral dosage unsuccessful except in one notable case - kidney cancer. 1990 - 2000: Letter (July 20, 2001) to S. - Dr. Gosalvez convinces (1989) King of Spain who then convinces (1989) President H.W. Bush to have U.S. Military Hospitals implement the use of TAC and another medicine; this combination was administered to " terminal cancer patients " . 2001: Letter (July 20, 2001) to - Dr. Gosalvez implies that this 10 year procedure proved successful. 2005: Medline 15681606 - From 1990 to 2000 the cancer mortality rate declines in the U.S.A. However, in a May letter to , Dr. Gosalvez states (relative to Medline 15681610): " ...It lacks still an explicit and complete epidemiological study made under the hypothesis of a possible military cure of cancer. Let see what the future brings forward. It would be nice that this study could be made by Americans and not by foreigners. " B. Relative to Dr. V. Schally, a 1977 Nobel Prize winner in Medicine - 1994: Medline 7809097 - TAC appears in title, 'Potent bombesin antagonists with C-terminal Leu-psi(CH2-N)-Tac-NH2 or its derivatives'. Dr. Schally concludes (page 12668) that anti-cancer agents containing TAC " ...may have important therapeutic applications for the treatment of various malignancies such as prostatic, gastric, and pancreatic cancer, small cell lung carcinoma, and other tumors. " 1995 - 2005: Dr. Schally's invention, RC-3940-II, contains TAC. Laboratory results cause Dr. Schally to conclude that RC-3940-II might be effective in causing the " Inhibition of growth " of various cancers; 'Renal' is Kidney, 'SCLC' is Small Cell Lung Cancer, 'Glioblastoma' is Brain tumor; Medline 7591214 (PANCREATIC), 9254895 (PROSTATE), 9376196 (PROSTATE), 9486581 (RENAL), 9713279 (BREAST), 9762934 (SCLC), 10597318 (GLIOBLASTOMA), 10717621 (BREAST), 10881027 (PROSTATE), 10970693 (OVARY), 11891317 (BREAST), 14660794 (SCLC), 14710236 (BREAST), 15382037 (SCLC), 15655413 (GLIOBLASTOMA). 2005 - present: Dr. Schally invents a more powerful anti-cancer approach by combining RC-3940-II and MZ-J-7-118; Medline 15671527 (PROSTATE), 15754342 (PROSTATE). C. Relative to S. , a retired (31 years) Middle School Librarian - 1999: posts The Cure for Cancer? (30 pages), http://cures for cancer.ws/tac-cure.htm , to the Internet. TAC is composed solely of Formaldehyde & L-cysteine. ' main idea is that mega doses (7,000 mg. daily should suffice) of vitamin C will neutralize the toxicity of formaldehyde thus allowing cancer victims to SWALLOW mega doses of TAC - maybe as much as a daily dose of 40 mg/kg. (about 3 grams). Dr. Gosalvez' patients swallowed only 5 mg/kg. of TAC daily. In his subsequent research discovers that TAC is the primary constituent in the Shiitake mushroom. The Medical Advisor published by TIME/LIFE states on page 1007: " ...And in both China and Japan, shiitake mushrooms have been used for hundreds of years as cancer-fighting agents. " (TIME/LIFE was not aware of TAC.) 2001: Dr. Gosalvez July 20 letter to states: " ...I fully acknowledge your important discovery that mega doses of Vitamin C avoid the toxicity of oral TAC due to neutralizing the formation of formaldehyde, a strong neurotoxic... " 2001: discovers that the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) published a report (Jong & Donovick) in 1989 which says that the 'Type of activity' of many mushrooms (fungi) is " Antitumor " . Particular emphasis is given to extracts (primarily PSK & PSP) from the Coriolus versicolor mushroom (page 238). is astounded by doing research on the Internet to discover that PSK is the world's best-selling anti-cancer agent with annual sales of $600 million. PSK has been approved by the Japanese Government and is considered " an authorized drug " . It is ' understanding that PSK is given as a matter of course to every cancer patient in Japan. Medline reference is 2672723. 2005 - January 6: studies NCI report again and is astounded to discover that the NCI also says in its 1989 report that the Shiitake, Reishi and Maitake mushrooms are anti-cancerous ('Type of activity' is " Antitumor " ; page 223); Shiitake is 'Lentinus edodes'; Reishi is 'Ganoderma lucidum'; Maitake is 'Grifola frondosa'. 2005 - May 21 & 22: discovers passages in Maitake Magic , ISBN 1-893910-19-9, that further convinces him of the importance of vitamin C in cancer treatment - Back cover - " MAITAKE IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE FOURTH THERAPY IN CANCER TREATMENT - after chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. In preliminary government-sanctioned studies, prostate and breast cancer patients given Maitake D-fraction have experienced growth inhibition, symptom release, tumor marker reduction, and immune enhancement. The more doctors learn about maitake mushroom, the more excited they become about its long-term health benefits. Now, with this new book by two of the world's leading maitake researchers, the breakthroughs in the study of maitake mushroom are available to everyone. " Page 74 - 'Vitamin C Synergizes Maitake D-fraction' (j.s.r. - first a definition - " Synergism - the simultaneous action of separate agencies which, together, have greater total effect than the sum of their individual effects. " ) " Very recent discoveries have been made on combined use of beta-1,3-D-glucan and vitamin C derivatives. We now know that the vitamin C content in macrophages reaches 40 times the level of the nutrient in plasma. However, macrophages activated with beta-1,3-D-glucan exhibit a significant drop in their vitamin C content. This might lead to the exhaustion of free-radical scavenging capacity of these cells, as well as to impaired motility and certain enzyme production by macrophages. Fukumi Morishige, M.D., Ph.D., a renowned Japanese surgeon and a member of the Linus ing Insititute, Corvallis, Oregon, explains that taking small amounts of vitamin C along with mushroom supplements will facilitate absorption of polysaccharides and enhance their effectiveness further. Such increased absorption renders polysaccharides more accessible to immune cells, including macrophages and NK cells. Synergy with vitamin C was also demonstrated by a study on Maitake D-fraction-induced apoptosis in prostatic cancer PC-3 cells... " If I, S. , had any sort of cancer I would not hesitate to start SWALLOWING IMMEDIATELY mega doses of vitamin C and mega doses of extracts from the Shiitake (TAC), Coriolus versicolor (PSK & PSP), Reishi (Polysaccharides and Triterpenes) and Maitake (D-fraction) mushrooms. Post Script - 1. Although these mushrooms have not yet been classified as " Antitumor " by the NCI - AS IT DID FOR THE CORIOLUS VERSICOLOR, SHIITAKE, REISHI AND MAITAKE MUSHROOMS - favorable anti-cancer reviews about them appear in Medline - a. 15304151 - Agaricus blazei - " ...might be beneficial for gynecological (women) cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. " Also, a supplier calls this mushroom " Nature's Most Powerful Beta 1-6 Glucan. " b. 15721201 -Cordyceps sinensis - Fraction R " ...selectively inhibited the growth of colorectal and hepatocellular (liver) cancer cells by the process of apoptosis. " 2. PSK - a great buy for Americans - http://www.philsteinberg.com/byrec/43.html - " In Japan, where PSK is dispensed as an authorized drug, it is sold for approximately $1,000 per month at a dosage of 3 grams per day. As a US food product, this same monthly supply is sold for $149 retail... " Call 1-888-330-4691 3. TAC (98% pure) is sold in Milwaukee by Aldrich, 1-800-325-3010. They call it L-4-Thiazolidinecarboxylic acid; product No. T27502-100G. 4. TAC is probably the best liver medicine in existence and is possibly the cure (with vit. C) for hepatitis; 'L-acido tiazolidin-carbossilico in epatologia', Gazzetta Medica Italiana , Volume 131, N. 6 (Giugno 1972), pages 251 to 300. Available at Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan. 5. TAC's " chemical cousin " L-MTCA contains acetaldehyde which can inactivate HIV, the AIDS virus, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NCI) and U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC); see The Cure for Cancer? 6. Medline 13376028 - Flax seed oil and cottage cheese should prove valuable in cancer treatment; see also http://www.cancure.org/budwig_diet.htm . 7. Magnesium/zinc/manganese should prove valuable in cancer treatment; see page 27 of The Cure for Cancer? 8. The world should be indebted to the research of Dr. Shung-Chang Jong. He is possibly the world's leading authority knowing about the anti-cancer power inherent in mushrooms. Dr. Jong is employed by the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) which has a close working relationship with the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI). He is the primary author of the follwing research; refer to Medline - a. 2672723 - This is the NCI publication which states that the 'Type of activity' of the Coriolus versicolor, Shiitake, Reishi and Maitake mushrooms is " Antitumor " . b. 1642155 - An ATCC publication that details the " antitumor " power of the Ganoderma (Reishi) mushroom. c. 8213304 - An ATCC publication that details the anti-cancer power of the Shiitake mushroom; " ...can inhibit cancer in humans... " , " ...Remarkable life span prolongation has been achieved in patients with advanced and recurrent stomach, colorectal, and breast cancer. " Another publication of Dr. Jong's is not indexed in Medline; it is 'The medicinal value of the mushroom Grifola (Maitake)', MIRCEN J. Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. , 6:227-235, 1989.
