Polyphenols and Aortic Cardiovascular Disease.

Posted on May 14, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

Polyphenols are found in fruits and vegetables and, significantly, a diet rich in polyphenols may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. The distribution of polyphenols in human body tissues was unknown before this study and the authors developed a new antibody technique to study polyphenols in living tissue. This makes it possible to study the […]

Quercetin to Reverse Multidrug (Multi-drug) Resistance.

Posted on May 14, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a big problem to the success of chemotherapy. There are a number of MDR mechanisms, including overproduction of chemical transporters across cell walls. There are 49 proteins which function as transporters which are ATP dependent drug pumps. These transporters remove chemotherapeutic agents from the cells so that they can’t accumulate in […]

Thyroid Cancer Review.

Posted on May 8, 2011 by Dr. Gary Pack

Patrick, in Summary #375 writes that thyroid disease, including cancer and autoimmune disease, is rapidly increasing. PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyl) environmental pollutants are associated with thyroid cancer. They are still in fish, even in salmon from Alaska. Patrick, in Summary #387 writes that low iodine increases cancer of the thyroid. Low iodine increases the uptake of […]

Dietary Flavonoids and the Anticancer Effects of Bortezomib.

Posted on November 16, 2008 by Dr. Gary Pack

Bortezomib is a pharmaceutical proteasome inhibitor which is a strong treatment for multiple myeloma. Bortezomib induces apoptosis in leukemia cells in the laboratory. Yet, it is not effective in human studies of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). (Proteasome inhibition in the bone marrow is 1/2 that in the blood.) We eat about 23 mg. of flavonoids […]

Effect of Cooking on Garlic.

Posted on June 6, 2008 by Dr. Gary Pack

Raw garlic (Allium sativum) is known to have antiplatelet activity (AA) that may reduce cardiovascular disease. Water extracts of raw garlic and onion have AA. This study was done to determine whether crushing and cooking garlic changed the AA. A group of organosulfur compounds found in garlic and onions is responsible for their aroma and […]

Dietary Polyphenols and Vascular Endothelial Cells.

Posted on February 5, 2008 by Dr. Gary Pack

The U.S. Department of Health recommends that we consume five servings of fruit and vegetables daily to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to the fruit and vegetables content of polyphenol chemicals. The way by which polyphenols work has been unknown and most studies to discover this use concentrations of 1-100 micromols, levels […]

Low-Dose Toxins and Adaptive Stress Responses.

Posted on November 16, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

People with diets rich in fruits and vegetables have a reduced risk of developing various diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases. Some of the chemicals in these beneficial foods are antioxidants, which are called plant “biopesticides” and are believed to be chemical defenses developed by plants to protect themselves from insects and other invaders. At much lower […]
