Selenium Biochemistry and Cancer.

Posted on May 15, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

Selenium has been shown to prevent cancer and is of benefit in cancer treatment, especially in the early phases. Selenium is a mineral that is easily bound to amino acids to form selenomethionine and selenocysteine, and is very easily absorbed in humans. The health benefits of selenium include the increased blood levels of antioxidant selenium-containing […]

Autoimmunity of the Thyroid and Vitiligo.

Posted on January 27, 2014 by Dr. Gary Pack

Vitiligo is a skin disease with typical light patches of skin (depigmentation). Autoimmunity and endocrine diseases are believed to be related to vitiligo, and there is some suggestion that vitiligo is related to thyroid dysfunction also. This study was done to find a relationship between vitiligo and thyroid autoimmunity. The study involved a count of […]

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 […]

Radiation Carcinogenesis: Lessons From Chernobyl.

Posted on April 1, 2011 by Dr. Gary Pack

“Radiation is a carcinogen.” This has been known since the time of Marie Curie and confirmed by the experience of the Japanese from the atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Marie Curie developed leukemia after doing research on radioactivity. Radiation causes DNA mutations in radiated cells which can be transmitted to later generations. It may […]

Uncertainties for Endocrine Disrupters.

Posted on February 21, 2007 by Dr. Gary Pack

A prominent current theory is that endocrine disrupters are hormonally active compounds found in the environment that have environmental and human health effects. The Environmental Protection Agency held a convention on the subject in 1995 and identified the problems as being reproductive, neurological, immunological and carcinogenic risks from endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC’s). The best known EDC […]
