Why Choosing Quality for Cancer Treatment Is Important

 

“There is no assurance of raw material quality when there are no quality standards.”

 

Today it is clearly evident that vitamin quality is not the same, and with the vast number of products on the market raw material quality and processing become even more important. Following high quality raw material standards should not be considered special treatment but imperative, yet over and over we see (recalled products containing harmful ingredients using the cheapest synthetic feed grade material sourced from China) that there is no assurance of raw material quality when there are no quality standards.

Cancer treatment naturally

Medically speaking, Vitamin C is being used intravenously for treating cancer without side effects but almost everything that you can find on the market is synthetic vitamin C coming from China. It is not the answer for cancer but one of the options for treating a disease that has been created and labeled to put the fear of God into everyone who is diagnosed with it. On a different note, we need to understand that a health condition is the body’s way of saying that you need to change your lifestyle, detox, and consult with your naturopath or medical practitioner. It is not to be used for endless biopsies, exposing the isolated packaged tumor or lump to oxygen and bacteria to help it spread; it is the body’s way of isolating the disease for treatment. The medical system does not view health and sickness in a holistic way; they were not trained to see in this direction. What has been developing and created requires your undivided attention, serious lifestyle changes and natural therapeutic corrections are needed in the way you are living.

The medical system examines the lump or tumor and after biopsy probing either cut, burn or use chemicals that shut down your natural immunity. Once the chemical treatment is done, and depending on the form of cancer the patient may need to take a lifetime of drugs. For example, Synthroid pills for thyroid cancer treatment, insulin and enzyme pills for pancreas cancer treatment, hormone cocktail for pituitary/brain cancer treatment, steroids for adrenal glands removal, antibiotics for life with spleen removal, estrogen or testosterone if both ovaries or testicles are removed, Tamoxifen for 5-10 years if hormone-positive breast cancer treatment.

Cancer is rapidly increasing globally; in the United Kingdom and Canada we are approaching one out of two will develop cancer in their lifetime. We hear from our customers all the time that if you refuse treatment, you are threatened with certain death. In many states they will no longer keep you as their patient if you do not follow their recommendations. Does that sound like ‘do no harm’ or rather the reason why properly prescribed medicine and treatment is the third leading cause of death? Sorry for being so bold but these are the facts.

Boron and cancer 

Research on boron’s anticancer properties suggests that it might play a role in reducing the risk of certain cancers. Studies, primarily conducted in laboratory settings and on animal models, indicate that boron compounds can inhibit the growth of various cancer cells, including breast, prostate, cervical, and lung cancers. The mechanisms behind boron’s anticancer effects are thought to involve the modulation of cellular signaling pathways, reduction of inflammation, and enhancement of the body’s natural antioxidant defenses. Boron is also believed to influence the activity of enzymes and hormones that are involved in cancer progression.

Studies suggest that complexation, or the formation of a complex compound between curcumin and boron, can enhance the bioavailability and biological activity of curcumin. This enhancement potentially leads to increased antioxidant capacity, which helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, and improved antiproliferative effects against various cancer cell lines, indicating a potential for the prevention and treatment of cancer.

In a study[1] exploring treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a leading cause of cancer-related death, sodium pentaborate pentahydrate (NaB), curcumin (Cur), and piperine (Pip) were tested individually and in combination on HCC cell lines, HepG2 and Hep3B. The combination of NaB, Cur, and Pip demonstrated a synergistic effect, increasing cytotoxicity, inducing apoptosis, and affecting the c.pell cycle in both cell lines, as supported by transcriptome analysis, suggesting enhanced anti-cancer activity.

Properties of vitamin C

Vitamin C has many biochemical functions in the body. “In human health, vitamin C has been associated with reduction of incidence of cancer, blood pressure, immunity, and drug metabolism and urinary hydroxyproline excretion and tissue regeneration. This vitamin is needed for the proper metabolism of drugs (…). Vitamin C is effective in protecting against oxidative damage in tissues and also suppresses formation of carcinogens like nitrosamines. There is an inverse relationship with blood pressure and both plasma vitamin C and Vitamin C. Vitamin C has a lowering effect on blood pressure.”[2]

According to a meta-analysis investigating the effects of isolated intravenous supplementation of vitamin C in adults with critical illness “[t]he administration of intravenous vitamin C may lead to vasopressor sparing effects and a reduced need for mechanical ventilation in the critically ill, without affecting overall mortality.”[3]

Because vitamin C is water-soluble it is easily accessible to cells or organs. “Therefore, vitamin C is superior in preventing oxidative damage to the body compared to other antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin E, or β–carotene, which are lipid soluble.”[4] These antioxidants have their own roles in preventing oxidative damage in the deepest part of the body but in the process many kinds of radicals are generated. “Those radicals should be regenerated to the safe original form very quickly and without any damage to the body by the water-soluble and least toxic radical generating antioxidant, otherwise known as vitamin C. (…) [People] should take an excessive amount of vitamin C so that their body is fully saturated with vitamin C before they take other antioxidant vitamins, such as vitamin A, vitamin E, and β-carotene.”[5]

Vitamin C quality differences

There are different categories of nutrients used in the manufacturing of vitamin supplements, one of these are nature-identical synthetic ones. This category includes nutrients that are manufactured entirely in a laboratory but have a molecular structure identical to those naturally occurring. Manufacturers often choose this approach because it is more cost-effective and avoids the limitations associated with sourcing natural raw materials. Today, most standard vitamin supplements on the market fall into this category and vitamin C is a common example. Most synthetic vitamin C is currently manufactured in China. Vitamin C is naturally a weak acid, so many supplements use buffered forms—such as sodium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate, or magnesium ascorbate—to reduce acidity and improve tolerance.

The most widely used synthetic form of vitamin C is ascorbic acid. Chemically, naturally occurring vitamin C and synthetic ascorbic acid are the same molecule. However, in whole foods, ascorbic acid exists as part of a broader vitamin C complex that includes other naturally occurring compounds. The ascorbic acid used in supplements is typically produced from corn starch, corn sugar, or rice starch through a chemical manufacturing process involving fermentation and other processing steps. The modern two-step fermentation method for producing synthetic vitamin C was first developed in China during the 1960s.

By late 2005, intense price competition from Chinese factories forced all other European and North American vitamin C plants to close down permanently. The only western survivor became DSM when they decided to keep the Scottish plant open, branding its output as Quali-C to market it as the world’s only premium, traceable non-GMO, non-Chinese alternative.

In North America, the vast majority of sugar beets are genetically engineered to resist herbicides. However, the European Union enforces incredibly strict regulations on genetically modified crops. By sourcing sugar beets from UK and European farmers, DSM-Firmenich can guarantee that the starter sugars are 100% non-GMO.
