Electromagnetic Field, Melatonin and Estrogens.

Posted on February 15, 2007 by Dr. Gary Pack

The normal rise in melatonin levels overnight is disrupted by 60-Hz magnetic fields in the bedroom, which results in increased risk of breast cancer. The purpose of this study was to test the nighttime urinary production of 6-sulfatoxymelatonin, a breakdown product of melatonin, with controlled amounts of electromagnetic forces (EMF’s) under the bed. The subjects […]

Prolactin and the Prolactin Receptor.

Posted on January 12, 2007 by Dr. Gary Pack

Human prolactin (PRL) is a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland and by other tissues. Prolactin has various chemical forms and has about 300 functions. Prolactin receptors are historically related to growth hormone receptors and other hormone receptors. PRL has a role in development of the breast during pregnancy and plays a part in […]

Prolactin-Receptor Antagonists for Hyperprolactinemia?

Posted on December 8, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

Prolactin is a hormone and a polypeptide (protein). The hormonal effects are related to reproduction and milk production. Hyperprolactinemia or hyperprolactinaemia (high prolactin levels) from any cause can be symptomatic, especially by causing problems with reproduction. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter which suppresses pituitary prolactin production. Dopamine is used for this clinically through the action of […]

Boswellia in Breast Cancer Brain Metastases.

Posted on October 5, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

Brain tumors metastatic from breast cancer are dependent on an enzymatic pathway called the arachidonate lipoxygenase pathway. This pathway plays a part in brain tumor growth as well as inhibiting apoptosis. Apoptosis is a natural way for abnormal cells, such as cancer cells, to die a programmed cell death. Inhibiting this enzyme pathway is one […]

Menopause: Oxygen Stress and Dietary Antioxidants.

Posted on September 28, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

Menopause is a permanent loss of menstruation after a period of amenorrhea (abnormal stoppage of the menstrual periods) lasting more than one year. The usual range of age of onset is age 40 to 55 and symptoms of menopause include hot flashes, arteriosclerosis, and deterioration of the skin suggestive of estrogen deficiency. Hormone replacement therapy […]

Bromelain in Mononuclear Mammary Tumor.

Posted on March 16, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

Bromelain from pineapple has been suggested for supportive therapy in cancers. The authors studied bromelain against leukemic and mammary (breast) cancer cells in the laboratory in which they examined a number of factors relating to the toxicity of the cells. The study showed that the cancer patient’s monocyte blood cells have an impaired ability to […]

The Vitamin D Epidemic and It’s Health Consequences.

Posted on March 16, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

Without sun exposure, 1000 IU daily of cholecalciferol (vitamin D) is required for both children and adults. A deficiency of vitamin D in children causes poor mineralization of the collagen matrix, leading to rickets. In adults, secondary hyperparathyroidism can result from a deficiency of vitamin D. This causes the loss of bone structure and mineralization […]

Light, Exercise and Melatonin Production in Women.

Posted on March 11, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

Melatonin is believed to protect against breast cancer and is produced by the pineal gland. The rate-limiting step is influenced by the light/dark cycle, with synthesis increased in the dark and reduced in the light. Overnight production of melatonin correlates with urine production of 6-sulfatoxymelatonin. The authors studied women in relationship to their melatonin production, […]

Dairy, Calcium, Vitamin D and Postmenopausal Breast Cancer.

Posted on March 10, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

The information was extracted from a study of a large group of women with detailed questionnaires on diet, vitamin and mineral intake, medical history and lifestyle from 1992 to 2001. Nearly 3,000 out of the group of nearly 69,000 women developed post-menopausal breast cancer. Women who consumed the highest levels of calcium (more than 1,250 […]

Night Work and Risk of Breast Cancer.

Posted on February 21, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

This study was extracted from a large study done on a population of 115,022 women without cancer at the start of the study. Of these women, 1,352 developed invasive breast cancer during the next 12 years of study. Those who had over 20 years of night rotating shifts had higher rates of breast cancer than […]
