Natural, Cancer Therapy

That's right. I got a.

Flow, everyone. Can you hear me OK? Good. Got a little fan. Come over here.

I want to speak this afternoon a little bit of what is in my new book, Natural Compounds in Cancer Therapy, Not.

Something different.

I don't know how many people might have seen this. Time magazine front cover, I think May 28.

A short time ago.

It's called. There is new ammunition in the war against cancer and these are the bullets.

It's.

It's a very interesting article because what it talks about is that the research that's been coming out over the last 10 years or so and in the laboratory is what they found is all the the unique enzymes and proteins and mechanisms that happen to that occur in a cancer cell differently from a normal cell. And in find all of these new targets, they're able to develop drugs to to specifically target cancer cells and not normal cells. And what what is really amazing about this is that in the next five years, 10 years or so, there's going to be a whole new generation of drugs coming out from the from the regular pharmaceutical market that should be much more effective in treating cancer than what they have right now. So chemotherapy is going to change. It seems quite clear. Chemotherapy is going to change. And the drug Gleevec, which they talk about in this this article is just one of the first ones that's going to do that by them.

But by the way, Ralph Moss just wrote an interesting little counterpoint to this article. So I think it was in the town's letter for doctors. And some of you may want to read that it was quite good.

But what I find really interesting is that natural compounds. And when I say natural compounds, I'm talking about herbs, constituents and herbs, vitamins, minerals and medicinal constituents of medicinal herbs, particularly do the very same things that have this whole new generation of drugs doing drugs like Gleevec. Natural compounds can be used to target the same enzymes, the same pathways, the same proteins that are that have recently been discovered to be unique to cancer cells. So it kind of makes natural compounds the cutting edge, in a sense, cutting edge. And as a matter of fact, several natural compounds were used as problems when they were first discovering these unique mechanisms in cancer cells, compounds like Justine and others were. We're used in many of the early studies.

So I think it's just very exciting that veterans kind of come full circle. And as we learn more, we learn that there's
