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 […]

Natural Promotion of p53 Protein Activity.

Posted on February 10, 2016 by Dr. Gary Pack

TP53 is a “tumor suppressor gene” in cells which produces a protein called p53. It is a tumor inhibitor which triggers apoptosis in abnormal cells, such as cancer cells. It has been said that p53 protein is the ultimate tumor suppressor in the human body, and that a cell which has normal p53 will not […]

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 […]

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 […]

Anti-Angiogenesis Review.

Posted on May 5, 2012 by Dr. Gary Pack

Angiogenesis is a normal process of forming new blood vessels. It takes place in growth, menstrual cycles, healing, etc. It is necessary for cancers to grow and to metastasize. It occurs in macular degeneration and hinders the vision. Blockers of angiogenesis are beneficial in cancer, macular degeneration and other disease processes. Dr. Judah Folkmann studied […]

Angiogenesis in Vascular and Tumor Biology.

Posted on May 22, 2011 by Dr. Gary Pack

Dr. Judah Folkman died after doing important research for 40 years on angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels.) He died, unexpectedly, on 14 Jan., 2008. His discoveries have changed our ideas about tumor treatment, tumor growth, and other diseases. As a young surgeon, Dr. Folkman was interested in tumor growth and invented techniques whereby […]

Dietary Flavonoids and Leukemia Cells.

Posted on May 25, 2007 by Dr. Gary Pack

Annually about 10 million people develop cancer and about 6.2 million people die of cancer worldwide. Cancer cells have altered chemical pathways that lead to rapid growth and division of cells and reduced apoptosis (cell suicide). Overriding these functions can be therapeutic in patients with cancer and the proteasome pathway plays a role in these […]
