Herbs and Skin UV Protection.

Posted on February 6, 2017 by Dr. Gary Pack

Ultraviolet B (UV-B) radiation, with a wavelength of 290-320 nm*, results in sunburns and wrinkles, while reducing immunity. One’s skin should be protected from UV-B light from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. UV-B can cause redness, burn, immune suppression, thickening and darkening of the skin as well as skin cancer. Most sun blocks are effective […]

Toxicity of Lead.

Posted on December 19, 2016 by Dr. Gary Pack

“There is no safe level of exposure to lead.” Many people living today have lead in their bodies from leaded gasoline, from lead-based paints, and from old plumbing containing lead. Problems from lead overdose include blood abnormalities (such as anemia), impaired heart function, bone disease, kidney dysfunction, impaired fertility, and nervous system toxicity. Lead toxicity […]

Flavonoids and Cancer.

Posted on December 15, 2016 by Dr. Gary Pack

Flavonoids are part of the healthy polyphenol family of chemicals which occur in plants. There are more than 4000 different flavonoids, mostly in fruits, vegetables and seeds. We eat about 1,000 mg. of flavonoids per day. Numerous health benefits have been discovered in flavonoids, including anticancer, anti-mutagenic (prevention of mutations), antioxidant, and antiviral properties. Flavonoids […]

Green Tea and EMFs.

Posted on November 28, 2016 by Dr. Gary Pack

The significance to human health of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) is still controversial. The present study is to evaluate the influence of such fields on oxidative* human stress and to test whether green tea polyphenols** may alter it. Workers exposed to ELF-EMFs and some not exposed were tested with urine tests for oxidative damage […]

Nigerian Food and Prostate Cancer Prevention.

Posted on July 2, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

Dietary polyphenols can be both antioxidant and chemopreventive. This article reviews the following Nigerian foods: Dacryodes edulis fruit (bush butter tree), Moringa oleifera, and Syzygium aromaticum (cloves). These contain polyphenols which are active in the prostate: Ellagic acid, gallate, methylgallate, catechol, kaempferol, and quercetin. Canarium schweinfurthi Engl (African elemi) oil contains 10 poyphenols. The following […]

ER-Negative Breast Cancer, Green Tea, and Broccoli.

Posted on June 16, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

Breast cancer therapy with tamoxifen is beneficial in women who have tumors which have estrogen receptors (ER-positive). They are treated with either “selective estrogen receptor modulators”, such as tamoxifen, or with aromatase inhibitors. ER-negative tumors do not respond well to those treatments and account for 25-30% of breast tumors. The ER-negative tumors are not the […]

Alter Oral Microbes With Foods.

Posted on June 1, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

We believe that diet has a close relationship to health, and we now know that food can be used for preventing chronic diseases. Cancer incidence can be reduced 30% by eating more vegetables and fruits. Such foods are called functional foods (“foods that provide a health benefit beyond basic nutrition”). Oral diseases, such as caries […]

Stimulation of the Endocannabinoid System

Posted on May 28, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

The eCB receptors are widely expressed in the body and associated with the nervous system cells and immune system cells. The basic messages of the eCB system are “relax, eat, sleep, forget, and protect.” The system modulates neuroplasticity, neuroprotection, immunity, inflammation, apoptosis, and carcinogenesis. Cells of obese people have increased eCB tone, and eCB antagonists […]

Dietary Polyphenols Protect Dopamine Neurons.

Posted on May 15, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

Flavonoids, found in fruits and vegetables, have been studied to see if they could reduce oxidative damage, which causes loss of dopamine production in the base of the brain. Oxidative stress is believed to contribute to the death of dopamine producing cells in Parkinson’s disease. (CoQ-10 is of benefit in Parkinsonism.) Various flavonoids, such as […]

Natural Angiogenesis Inhibitors and Cancer-Part 1.

Posted on May 15, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

Angiogenesis (the growth of new blood vessels) is a target for cancer therapy. Angiogenesis is necessary for cancer growth and a continued supply of oxygen and nutrition for cancers. Rapid tumor growth occurs after blood vessels develop. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a protein formed by cancers which promotes angiogenesis. VEGF is, probably, essential […]
