forfattareCancer has become as leading cause of death around the world. However, all forms of cancer start off as a single group of cells which grows no bigger than 0.5mm3. These early cancer cells are limited in growth because they lack a blood supply. Angiogenesis is the process by which our bodies produce more blood vessels, through the release of angiogenetic factors. There are very few cases in which angiogenesis properly occurs after birth: menstrual cycle, placental formation, and after wounds. Once the new blood vessels become unnecessary the body releases angiogenetic inhibitors to trim back the vessels to a baseline. All cancers rely on an imbalance of angiogenetic factors to attain their blood supply and nutrients.
Cancer cells will never become dangerous until they have attained a blood supply. At such a time, they can grow, release more angiogenetic factors and become invasive and infect surrounding cells while rogue cells can enter the blood stream and create new metastases. Since angiogenesis is the point at which cancers become deadly, cutting off the blood supply is the most effective way to fight cancer; this is known as antiangiogenetic therapy. This form of treatment is different from chemotherapy, in that it targets the blood supply to the malignancy instead of an untargeted poisoning of cells.
Antiangiogenetic therapy has been shown to work on a variety of cancers in both humans and pets. Compared to just chemotherapy treatment, antioangiogenetic therapy has increased survivorship, in some cancers, between 70 and 106%.
It was also shown that diet accounts for 27 to 33% of all cancers. It was further revealed that by adding certain food to your diet, red grapes/wine, strawberries, cooked tomatoes and soy beans, one can reduce the blood supply to cancer cells. Studies also noted that there is a synergy between certain foods that increases the potency of angionenetic inhibitors.
Antiangiogenetic therapy can be used to treat a multitude of other ailments including: blinding diseases, Alzheimer, arthritis, psoriasis, and, most notably, obesity. The adipose tissue, in which fat is stored, is highly dependent on a blood supply. A study in rats found that a fat rat could be made skinny through antiangiogenetic therapy. However, the rat’s weight could not be brought below the normal, healthy, baseline weight of a similar sized rat.
