Why Cancer Cells Just Won't Die

Caroline Schild-Poulter's findings are now published online in the journal Molecular Cancer Research.[December 2009] When cells experience DNA damage, they'll try to repair it. But if that fails, the damaged cells are supposed to self-destruct, a process called apoptosis. A cancer researcher at Robarts Research Institute at The University of Western Ontario has identified a protein that regulates apoptosis, a new discovery which has implications for both the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. "The protein we've identified, RanBPM, is directly involved in activating apoptosis," explains Schild-Poulter who is also an assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry at Western's Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry". One of the hallmarks of cancer is that the cells don't initiate apoptosis despite having defects in their genetic material. In other words the damaged cells do not commit suicide, and this develops into cancer. Failure to activate apoptosis also makes it difficult to cure cancer. You cannot kill these cells by causing DNA damage to them using standard (high dose) chemotherapy or radiation, because these cells resist dying." What can be done to eliminate these cells ? Under the NEW IPTLD Protocol in use by Donato Perez Garcia,MD., these cells can be targeted and eliminated. It is not a simple process and not done overnight. Patients are given to take in between their IPTLD treatments several tablets to achieve these goal by taking a low dose oral chemo agent that acts in conjunction with another tablet to potentiate it's effect in the circulating cells and on the tumor the low oral dose chemo acts to reduce or prevent the growth of new blood vessels the ones responsible for feeding the tumor, an effect called antiangiogenesis. The other tablets will help to protect the liver metabolism, prevent the growth of Candida and fiber to maintain the colon clean. It sounds simple but this is an effective way to treat cancer from what appears, for some, to be a simple cancer case to complicated or unresponsive cancers.
