Cancer Research-Univ. of Med.-Japan

Is there hope for a method of killing cancer cells without damaging perfectly healthy cells?
I always remain skeptical, especially in light of the recent revelations regarding Vioxx, Nexium, Prolasec, Prevacid and other dangerous drugs.
I believe that no man is so old that he cannot learn and that change is good, only if we can use it to improve life - remembering to: "DO NO HARM."
So, with respect for the high intelligence and status of a friend of mine with the Roswell Cancer Institute, I asked, "Does this information have any credibility or is it just more hogwash?
NEW CANCER-BLASTER FROM JAPAN
can triple immune cell power, pumping up your "Natural Killer" cell activity by 300%. Tested more than 5 years, this new extract from hybrid "super mushrooms" sent breast and prostate cancer into complete remission. Even reversed deadly liver cancer. Safe as a preventive too. Quoted from the Spring 2005 issued of the Health Sciences Institute Medical Doctors like: Michael Rosenbaum, M.D., President Emeritus American Association of Orthomolecular Medicine said, "I like to think that I’m on the cutting edge, but I constantly see things in HSI that I haven’t read elsewhere. For every breakthrough I’ve shared, I’ve learned about several more."
The list of doctors, researchers, and practitioners is as follows:
Martin Milner, N.D. Professor of Cardio-vascular and Pulmonary Medicine, National College of Naturopathic Medicine and Bastyr University. President and Medical Director, Center for Natural Medicine.
Randall Wilkinson, M.D. - A specialist in environmental medicine, he brought the tocotrienols breakthrough for fighting heart disease and cancer. Currently involved with anti-aging research.
Elson m. Haas, M.D. Medical and Creative Director, Preventive Medical Center of Marin. Integrates traditional Chinese therapies with natural healing methods from the West. Books include The Detox Diet and the classic Staying Healthy with Nutrition, used in many schools.
Allan Spreen, M.D. has helped spread the truth about natural medicine and expose common medical myths through his book Nutritionally Incorrect– Why the American Diet is Dangerous and How to Defend Yourself. Known as the "Nutrition Physician."
Hyla Cass, M.d. Author of Natural Highs: Supplements, Nutrition, and Mind/Body Techniques to Feel Good All the Time.
KOHHEI (TADAHIRO) MAKISE, M.D. Medical Director of the Kyoto Imadagawo Makise Clinic, Kyoto. Currently considered one of the most cutting-edge physicians in Japan. He has had recent success treating patients for severe dermatitis without oral administration of cortisone.
Claus Martin, M.D. Medical Director, Four Seasons Medical Center and Clinic, Rottach-Egern, Germany. Leading expert in therapy to retard aging process and regenerate chronically diseased organs—with a natural form of genetic engineering called Live Cell Therapy.
These are a few of the members of the Health Sciences Institute Advisory Panel.
About 125 miles from the capital of Brazil, very much hidden from modern civilization, lies a quaint town by the sea called Piedade. It’s inhabitants enjoy extraordinarily good health, youthfulness, and longer lives. Degenerative diseases that are so prevalent in our society such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, allergies, asthma, and many more are practically non-existent. These people enjoy this miraculous health without access to many of the high-tech prescriptions and procedures available to us.
One Japanese descendant living in Brazil visited Piedade to find out why. What he stumbled upon was an ingredient that the Brazilians use in almost all their meals: Cogumelo do Sol—or Mushroom of the Sun. And it’s not found anywhere else in Brazil or the rest of the world. The man sent samples of this mushroom to Japan for study and cultivation, and when Japan’s National Cancer Center subjected it to pharmacological testing, they found that it was actually a potent immune-system builder and cancer-fighter.
The information states that over 85% of those tested found tumor growth stunted in less than three weeks.
When scientists at Japan’s University School of Medicine tested the mushroom in mice, they found it retarded tumor growth by 85 percent after 20 days! And cancerous guinea pigs experienced even greater recovery rates— over 99 percent—when they were treated.
The claim is that the mushroom contains a list of components that stimulate the immune system to fight off bacterial and viral illnesses including:
T-cells, which directly attack cells that have been taken over by viruses or cancer.
Interleukin, which bolsters the immune system by stimulating the growth and activity of white blood cells.
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) which activates white blood cells and fights tumors.
Macrophages, which protect the body from infection by consuming foreign materials.
I picked up on an article in the Health Sciences Institute newsletter devoted to describing a medicine made from special mushrooms grown in Japan called AHCC.
Doctors found that the CAT scan showed that the tumors on the liver had shrunk 50% as a result of taking the medicine developed from these mushrooms. Eventually the blood test showed the CEA (a blood indicator for tumors) had fallen to 1.8. The decision of the doctors were that his next CAT scan proved that the tumors were actually gone.
The claim is that the powerful cancer-fighter perfected by Japanese researchers, a special extract of hybrid mushrooms called AHCC— triggers a process that can literally explode cancer cells in as little as 5 minutes. Best of all, it works by using your own body’s army of natural "killer cells."
Found in the Amazon rain-forest, a tree called Graviola, is being studied by the National cancer Institute and already studies show that the Graviola extract is 10,000 times stronger than the top chemotherapy drugs. Graviola is said to have incredible precision in hunting down cancer cells while leaving healthy cells completely alone! Graviola just seems to "know" which cells to kill and which to avoid. There’s no nausea, no hair loss, no weight loss, no weakening of the immune system.
