Not everyone is exposed to the same mental demands nor do we all have the same starting points. This means we need to stop looking for ‘magic pills’ and invest more resources in developing toolkits and infrastructure similar to what the physical fitness industry has done over the last 30-40 years.

I remember a presentation he gave at the American Society of Clinical Oncologists several years ago, where he was honored for his lifetime achievements. He was an absolutely mesmerizing speaker, describing his struggles in demonstrating experimentally his theories about tumor angiogenesis (don’t despair; I’ll explain in a minute). It was a triumphant speech. Judah had an unshakable conviction in his theory. He had no second thoughts about demolishing long entrenched opinions and received wisdo...

But why does alcohol consumption stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells? A study in mice shows that alcohol consumption stimulated the growth and progression of breast cancer by the development of new blood vessels - a process called angiogenesis. The article stated that "It does this by boosting expression of a factor known as vascular endothelial growth factor or VEGF". Dr. Jian-Wei Gu and colleagues from the University of Mississippi Medical Center examined the effects of tumor growth in mice. For 4 weeks, 6-week old female mice consumed regular drinking water or water c...

The drug, itraconazole, is FDA approved for human use, which may fast-track its availability as an anti-cancer drug. If you are interested in reading more about Angiogenesis and cancer growth you can read my post back in July. The researchers at this point have yet to determine exactly how itraconazole works to stop vessel growth.

The most recent headlines say the active ingredient in the drug cuts tumor growth in common lung cancers in half and greatly reduces the ability of the cancer to spread.Researchers at Harvard University tested marijuana's main ingredient, delta-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, in both lab and mouse studies and say their experiments are the first to show THC inhibits the growth of cancer.Researchers are not certain why THC inhibits tumor growth, but it could be that the substance activates molecules that arrest the cell cycle. THC may also interfere with angiogenesis and vascularization, which promotes cancer growth.There is a long way to go in the study of THC. Yet ...

Gu, assistant professor of physiology and biophysics at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, says his discovery of the mechanism by which alcohol consumption causes tumor growth was purely accidental. And extremely significant. Scientists have known for a hundred years about the link between alcohol consumption and cancer. A study from Paris in 1910 showed that 80 percent of patients with cancer of the esophagus or gastric track were alcoholics. More recently, scientists have found correlations between alcohol consumption and cancer o...
