Clemson study on supplements

12 years ago

There was a study done by Clemson University on Youngevity supplements
Ã¯Â¿Â½ Ultimate ClassicÃ¯Â¿Â½ killed
Ã¯Â¿Â½ 95% of cancerous colon cells,
Ã¯Â¿Â½ 65% of cancerous liver cells,
Ã¯Â¿Â½ 65% of cancerous stomach cells, and
Ã¯Â¿Â½ 30% of cancerous breast cells.
Ã¯Â¿Â½ Beyond Tangy TangerineÃ¯Â¿Â½ killed
Ã¯Â¿Â½ 60% of cancerous colon cells,
Ã¯Â¿Â½ 65% of cancerous liver cells,
Ã¯Â¿Â½ 65% of cancerous stomach cells, and
Ã¯Â¿Â½ 30% of cancerous breast cells.
If this was a drug it would be on the front page of every newspaper in the world for a week.

Is there a reason that you omitted that your posted info came from the website of the Youngevity supplements website.

Is there a reason that you made your post sound like these results are a new treatment for cancer?

Is there a reason that you didn't include the following info directly from the Clemson University Study?

"Youngevity and Clemson University Institute of Nutraceutical Research are excited about the recent findings, but we also caution individuals not to overextended the findings to feel the Youngevity products are able to prevent, treat, or cure any type of disease or illness. The Youngevity products, although incredible powerful and health giving, are dietary supplements that are designed to work with nutrition, exercise, and a positive mental state to aid in the support of overall health and wellness. The studies that were undertaken were NOT human clinical trials, but are called Ã¢ÂÂbenchÃ¢ÂÂ or Ã¢ÂÂtest-tubeÃ¢ÂÂ studies. The most scientific name is Ã¢ÂÂin vitroÃ¢ÂÂ. In vitro is defined as, studies in experimental biology that are conducted using components of an organism that have been isolated from their usual biological surroundings in order to permit a more detailed or more convenient analysis that can be done with whole organisms. These are limited clinical studies; more research is needed. Youngevity has committed to enhancing their studies by designing even better models that closely resemble the environments of the body."

After adding the above quote to your provided info in your post, which I found on your provided link but in small print to click on, the info you posted is results from, medically speaking, in vitro testing, and has a long way to go to verify the initial test results, including testing in an environment more like a human body.

These results have a potential to be useful treatment in the "War on Cancer", but just that, a potential; a potential that appears to be far off in the future, as of right now.

They are a welcome look into something in the future, but should not be linked to or implied that this is a treatment for cancer, nor should the supplements be used as a treatment for cancer or combined with conventional treatment for cancer at this time.

If one's oncologist says it is safe to combine these supplements with the ongoing cancer treatment, than that is a different story.

I personally would welcome far better treatments for cancer other than chemotherapy and radiation, but until there is something like that, I will stick with the conventional treatments combined with whatever other safe treatments my oncologist would and has recommended for me to use.

I posted this to show here are people looking for an alternative to main stream treatments like chemo which is 97% ineffective.

or radiation which causes cancer

Good websites for evaluating herbs and supplements

"From what I can see every site Eric listed is a "Big Pharma" site." Not a single one of these sites is run by or for a drug company. Unless you're using "Big Pharma" as a generic term for "anyone who disagrees with my health care philosophy". Another poster in this thread (with whom I disagreed on the proven efficacy of an herbal cancer therapy) also cites governmental and university-based information sites. The PubMed site is a searchable database of herbal and other medicine-related articles published in a huge variety of journals, and has been frequently linked to in this forum by those who fervently espouse herbal medicine. Do you label everyone who uses and appreciates the information from these sites a "Big Pharma ad man"? Few of us have the time and resources to do original research. But we can use these sites to get good, reliable information to guide us on what therapies to use - as opposed to the scaremongering, conspiracy theories and distortions that are so common on many "alternative" websites.

Mycorrhizal fungi supplement?
Q
Comments (45)
So Kimmsr, you think if you say the same thing over and over everyone will start to belive it. Are you preparing to run for political office?Mycorrhizal describes a characteric of certain fungi. Just because you cannot find it in the taxonomy of living things does not make it less relevant. The importance of mycorrhizal fungi was not even mentioned during my undergraduate studies in Plant and Soil Science. This has the potential to take agriculture to a new level in productivity. It also has the potential to impact the home owner. In San Antonio, we have to be cognizant about water restrictions. Increasing the reach of the roots by 10, 100, even 1000 times is an exciting prospect. When you look on the label, the mycorrhizal fungi innoculants contain a wide variety of spores. Does the list include the species I need? I do not know. But I am keeping an open mind and continuing my research. I have a fairly new yard (4.5 years), and it was covered by fill dirt before the sod was laid. I do not believe I gained many fungal spores from this dirt (and rocks, so many rocks). I agree with Kimmsr to a point. This is not a cure all to take place of any tried and true organic methods. But I do not agree that it is a waste of time and money. And I do not agree that just increasing the organic matter is all I need to do. Soybean growers do not hesitate to innoculate the seed with nitrogen fixing bacteria. These bacteria are capable of living in the soil on their own. I have not read about the life cycle of the beneficial fungi with the mycorrhizal characteristic. Can it live on its own or does it require the host plant to live and reproduce? Questions that need answers.

Some Perspective re Synthetic:Organic Nutrient Supplementation

Laura, I'm glad you brought this thread back to life, because I have never found it. Al, as always, is very informative and reasonable. I agree whole heartedly with how he approaches gardening. I too prefer to use compost, and avoid chemicals, but am not against using chemicals either. For example, I refuse to sit back and watch my garden be destroyed by insects because I don't want to use chemicals. Usually I don't need to, but if things get rough, I have to bust out the big guns. Anyways, Laura, you talked about the runoff problems in your area; these issues come up all over, including here in WI. The biggest misconception people have is that the people using the "nasty" chemical fertilizers are causing the runoff, when in fact runoff problems can be caused by organic fertilizers as well. The biggest issue is not the stuff causing the problems, but the people who are. Proper use of inorganic AND organic fertilizers is key. You can buy all sorts off different products, both organic and inorganic, and each has instructions as to the proper application. If you don't follow these instructions, well, that is where the problem lies. So, with that said, you seem like a very reasonable and responsible person, so whether you apply organic fertilizer or synthetic fertilizer, and can assure you that if you follow the directions, you personally are NOT contributing to the runoff problems. Again, thanks to Al for his infinate wisdom, and to Laura for bringing this one back to life. Joe

How to Easily Supplement Fluorescent with Incandescent Light
Q
Comments (47)
I'm not seeing a big push to add IC to my setup. Your thoughts? Like I said before, my experiment suggests that a negative light-dark temperature differential negates phytochrome mediated far red responses. With a positive temperature differential, you would likely see longer stems, maybe bigger plants, with incandescent supplementation. However, I am most interested in increasing photosynthesis via the Emerson Enhancement Effect. Since this has nothing to do with temperature differential, I conclude that there was negligible effect under this combination of wavelengths. In my next experiment, I am going to look for Emerson like enhancement between near violet and far red wavelengths.
