Frequently Asked Questions

How does the radiation kill the cancer cells?

Bard Urological
The radiation does not actually kill the cancer cells outright, but causes damage to the genetic material (DNA) within the cells. If the treated cancer cells were biopsied and viewed through a microscope, they would appear alive and active. The destruction occurs when these injured cells attempt to reproduce by the process of mitosis (cell division). They self-destruct, die, and are eliminated by the normal body mechanism that eliminates dead cells.

Q.-How then does B17 work to kill cancer cells?

Cancer F.A.Q's
A.- There is only one substance that can unlock the B17 molecule and release the cyanide. That substance is an enzyme called "beta-glucosidase", which is called the "unlocking enzyme". When B17 comes in contact with this enzyme in the presence of water, not only is the cyanide released, but also the benzaldehyde, which is highly toxic by itself.

How does the ice kill cancer cells?

Frequently Asked Questions about Cryotherapy - Galil Medical
The basic features of cryosurgical ablation have been established as rapid freezing, slow thawing, and repetition of the freeze?thaw cycle. At sub-zero temperatures, ice crystals first form outside the cell, causing shrinkage and damage. As the temperature continues to fall, intracellular ice forms causing additional injury to the cell. During the thaw cycle, the ice melts and water enters the cell causing expansion and further disruption to the cells.

Why does the reovirus kill cancer cells?

T.ONC - FAQ
Scientific studies have demonstrated that approximately two-thirds of all human cancer cells have an activated Ras pathway, one of the most common set of mutations leading to cancer. An activated Ras pathway leads to a constant barrage of growth signals to the cell, causing uncontrolled growth. In cells with an activated Ras pathway, the anti-viral response appears to be turned off. When reovirus infects one of these cancer cells, it is able to replicate and eventually kill the cancer cell.

How does the B17-500mg tablet work to treat or kill cancer cells?

There is only one substance that can unlock the B17 molecule and release the cyanide. That substance is an enzyme called "beta-glucosidase", which is called the "unlocking enzyme". When B17 comes in contact with this enzyme in the presence of water, not only is the cyanide released, but also the benzaldehyde, which is highly toxic by itself.

How do these treatments kill cancer cells?

A.They either contain cytotoxic substances, or targeting substances are used that are able to carry the cytotoxic medication selectively into cancer cells, ignoring healthy cells.

Question: How to kill prostate cancer?

Prostate Cancer FAQ
Radiation and surgery are the two main options. Radiation can be of different types and has a high success rate. Surgery can be of the conventional type or else, new robotic techniques can be used such as the Da Vinci procedure. It is best to get several opinions on possible treatments from top medical professionals. Surgery is a quicker method as radiation results take time to show up.

Does Colloidal Silver have any effect on cancer cells?

F A Q about Isolated Colloidal Ionic Silver
Dr. Gary Smith (a pioneer in cancer research) in an unpublished article writes that: "Success depends on the amount of silver in the person's body and problems result from the lack of silver in the body. When silver was present, the cancer cells stopped their development and the body is basically restored. When silver levels are low or not-existent, the cancer growth continues to grow because the cells cannot reverse it themselves."

Q. If vitamin B-17 kills cancer-using cyanide, is it possible for the cyanide to kill normal cells?

World Without Cancer - worldwithoutcancer.org.uk - B17 Laetr...
Absolutely Not. Research shows that the normal cells in our organism contain an enzyme called Rodhanese which "neutralises" the Amygdalin. This enzyme does not allow the Amygdalin to release the cyanide. In this way, Amygdalin only serves as glucose to healthy cells providing energy. Malignant cells do not contain this enzyme.

How does PET see cancer cells?

Cancer Diagnostic Center - The Best Cancer Care in Mountain ...
The patient is injected with a small amount of radioactive tracer attached to a simple glucose compound. Ever cell in your body requires glucose, but abnormal cells,which are highly metabolic (such as cancerous cells) require more glucose then normal cells. Abnormal cells attract the radioactive tracer with glucose more then normal cells. The areas of abnormality show up as 'hot spots' on the 3-dimensional scan.
