MY cancer research...possibly a good suplement to medical procedures
 

Almost everybody has a family member or somebody they care about with cancer so I was doing research for my Grandfather and decided to pass it on.

Goji berries/Wolfberry-Nutrients inside
11 essential and 22 trace dietary minerals

6 essential vitamins
8 polysaccharides and 6 monosaccharides
5 unsaturated fatty acids, including the essential fatty acids, linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid
beta-sitosterol and other phytosterols
5 carotenoids, including beta-carotene and zeaxanthin (below), lutein, lycopene and cryptoxanthin, a xanthophyll
numerous phenolic pigments (phenols) associated with antioxidant properties

Studies
1)
Seventy nine people in advanced stages of cancer were treated with the drug LAK/IL-2 combined with Lycium Barbarum polysaccharides (LBP). From the 75 evaluable patients, regression of the following cancers was observed: malignant melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and malignant hydrothorax. The response rate of patients treated with LAK/IL-2 and LBP was 40.9% while that of patients treated only with LAK/IL-2 was 16.1%.

2)
Cancer Institute, Ningxia Medical College, Yinchuan, ChinaRadiosensitizing effects (becoming more sensitive to radiation treatment) of the Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) were observed in mice with lung cancer.

Conclusive or not I am going to make sure my grandfather is taking these.

Here's something you should read about!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dichloroacetic_acid

Thanks for this I will make it my next lead. But for those reading this remmber... the compound I listed was found in healthy berries that you can eat.

The following is from the same wikipidia page about DCA
------------------------------------------

Doctors warned of potential problems if people attempt to try DCA outside a controlled clinical trial. "If it starts going badly, who is following you before it gets out of control? By the time you realize your liver is failing, you're in big trouble," said Laura Shanner, Associate Professor of Health Ethics at the University of Alberta.[38]

Some doctors are using it off script, and there are forums where people are basically doing their own "clinical trials". Basically comparing doses & results, because the governments won't get involved, and the drug companies(lobby $$$s) stand to lose a ton of money.

You should also take a look at black raspberries.
Yin and his co-workers isolated a naturally modified anthocyanidin, known as cyanidin-3-rutinoside or C-3-R, from black raspberries and observed its effects on human leukemia and lymphoma cell cultures. The researchers found that low doses of C-3-R caused about half of the human leukemia cells to die within 18 hours of treatment. When the dose was more than doubled, all of the leukemia cells died; the research team noted the same response in lymphoma cells.
