Cancer

Vitamin C may be one day given to patients suffering from cancer. Vitamin C, ie ascorbic acid, can in high doses destroy malignant tumors. To achieve the necessary concentration, it must be administered intravenously.

The purpose of this report is to highlight many health benefits of vitamin D and the role of vitamin D deficiency with an increased risk of common serious diseases, including frequent certain types of cancer, diabetes mellitus, I, cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis. Many epidemiological studies suggest that exposure to the sun, which increases the production of vitamin D in the skin, is important in preventing many chronic diseases. Because only few foods contain vitamin D, the sun provides most of the requirements of the organism of vitamin D.

Vitamin D does not reduce the risk of death as a result of various types of cancer. American doctors found it in a new study published by the magazine of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Vitamin D affects more than two hundred genes, including those related to cancer and autoimmune diseases. This results from the study of British and Canadian scientists who published their research in the journal Genome Research. This discovery demonstrates that vitamin deficiency may have serious consequences.

Czech scientists from the AV CR explore promising new way how to combat cancer cells. Tumor diseases are one of the most serious medical problems of modern society. Constantly growing number of cancer cases and deaths continues to increase as a result of this disease.

Amygdalin or vitamin B17 (C20H27NO11) is a glycoside, which was first isolated from apricot pits Pierre-Jean Robiquetom and AF Boutron-Charlardom in 1830 and then studied Justus von Liebig, Friedrich Woehlerom, and others.

Cancer is the real bogeyman. We should not see it as a uncommon illness we might one day get. Think of it as the real danger against which you should be protected.

More vitamin D may help in the defense against breast cancer. Scientists from Birmingham University and Hospital of St. George in London, found that breast tissue contains an enzyme that activates vitamin D. The level of enzyme is increased when there is incidence of cancer.

He studied the impact of intake of vitamin A, C, E, folate and carotenoids in relation to developing basal cell skin carcinoma (BCC) in women. Vitamin intake was assessed using a questionnaire.

Terrestrial animals have learned to produce vitamin D from about 300 million years ago: when the ocean environment left vertebrates, calcium-rich, have become dependent on the formation of vitamin D in the skin effects of UV light, a photochemical reaction. Vitamin D increases calcium resorption in the small quantities contained in food, črevom. The main function of vitamin D is to maintain homeostasis of calcium and phosphorus, which is subject to the proper signal transmission, metabolic activity, neuromuscular function and bone mineralization.

In the past it was assumed that vitamin D could play a role in preventing colon cancer. This assumption was also confirmed in a recent study conducted at Harvard Medical Faculty American University in Boston. Doctors found that patients with higher levels of vitamin D in their blood, have a lower risk of death doubled for colorectal cancer compared with those who had low concentrations of this vitamin.

Analysis of earlier studies have shown that vitamin D at higher levels may reduce the risk of cancer of the colon and rectum. The mechanism and the optimal doses are not yet known. When studying the role of vitamin D to cancer of the colon and rectum were analyzed various studies associated with this problem.

Injections of vitamin C will help cure cancer? Scientists tested it on mice and plan to try it on humans. Some cancer specialists are skeptical and fear that desperate patients begin to heal in order to take large doses of vitamins.

Vitamin C may still be useful in cancer treatment. This results from an American study published on Monday. According to the study, injections of high doses of vitamin C significantly reduce tumor growth.

Regular intake of vitamin C may reduce cancer risk in smokers. This smoking causes a rapid deficiency of vitamin E, scientists say. Smokers should eat lots of vitamin C.
