Vitamin C and DoxyCycline for stopping Cancer Tumors

[Bob]

This is another breakthrough in cancer treatments, which bypasses classic chemo-therapy that kills off many good cells.

The new technique was developed at the University of Salford, Manchester, UK - http://www.salford.ac.uk/

Applying a treatment regimen of a low cost generic doxycycline antibiotic plus the use of Vitamin C created a double punch effect to remove energy production from cancer cells, thereby "starving" the cancer cells. see: http://www.salford.ac.uk/news/articl...cer-stem-cells

CANCER stem cells, which fuel the growth of fatal tumours, can be knocked out by a one-two combination of antibiotics and Vitamin C in a new experimental strategy, published by researchers at the University of Salford, UK.

How it works

Combinational effects

First, the researchers inhibited the tumour cell mitochondria, by restricting the cancer cells only to glucose as a fuel source; then, they took away their glucose, effectively starving the cancer cells to death.


“In this scenario, Vitamin C behaves as an inhibitor of glycolysis, which fuels energy production in mitochondria, the “powerhouse” of the cell, explained co-author Dr Federica Sotgia.


The Salford team recently showed Vitamin C to be up to ten times more effective at stopping cancer cell growth than pharmaceuticals such as 2-DG, but they say that when Vitamin C is combined with an antibiotic, it is up to ten times more effective, making it nearly 100 times more effective than 2-DG.


As Doxycycline and Vitamin C are both relatively non-toxic, this could dramatically reduce the possible side-effects of anti-cancer therapy.


Clinical trials

The Salford team also identified eight other drugs that could be used as a “second-punch” after the antibiotic regime, including berberine (a natural product) – and a number of cheap non-toxic FDA approved drugs.


Professor Lisanti added: “This is further evidence that Vitamin C and other non-toxic compounds may have a role to play in the fight against cancer."

==============================

This shows also how Vitamin C deals with stopping the cancer. Folks have known Vitamin C was essential, this apparently is the reason why.

Doxycycline is derived from the very well established TetraCycline antibiotic.

TetraCycline is an "old school" antibiotic to which many organisms have developed resistance. TetraCycline is naturally produced by a soil bacteria, called streptomyces.

TetraCycline is so "old school" it was being used over 2000 years ago in Africa, by the Nubians (ref: https://www.seeker.com/ancient-nubia...766072868.html)

"In 2010 evidence was found in Africa that Human use of antibiotics began not 80 years ago, but nearly 2,000 years ago along the banks of the Nile River.

Chemical analysis of the bones of ancient Sudanese mummies who lived nearly 2000 years ago shows they were ingesting the antibiotic tetracycline on a regular basis, likely from a special brew of beer.

The find is the strongest evidence yet that antibiotics were previously discovered by humans before Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928.

"This evidence was gathered from large amounts of tetracycline (Antibiotics) embedded in the bones of ancient African mummies. Tested from the ancient Sudanese population, which lived in the Nubian kingdom (present day Sudan) between 250 A.D. and 550 A.D."

Doxycycline similarity and differences from TetraCycline -

Doxycycline, for example, reaches the highest metabolic concentration in the eyes, whereas tetracycline concentrates primarily in body fluids.

Since tetracycline and doxycycline concentrate in different tissues, one medication might be better at fighting infections in a particular area of the body than another medication. Such differences account for both similar and varying clinical or recommended uses.

Bacterial infections such as chlamydia, Lyme disease, and anthrax benefit from treatment with either tetracycline or doxycycline.

As a prophylactic, or prevention against the spread of contagious bacterial infections like malaria and bubonic plague, doxycycline is typically more effective.

Certain travelers are often prescribed doxycycline prior to traveling to areas known for malaria infections.

Could possibly the naturally occurring TetraCycline plus the use of high Vitamin C fruits in Africa thousands of years ago, offered a solution to cancer, and maybe was ignored by many outsiders, and maybe used by the local informed Shaman?

Synergistic activity has been noted with Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) and antibiotics. The active mechanism is similar to the OP #1 post. Rife for instance noted in the tumor situation, that a virus a bacteria and a fungus were most often found. His extreme broadband pulsed tube (x-ray output plus shortwave and longwave UV, plus blue light, and even infra-red) plus the right sensitization agent (either tetracycline, which induces extreme UV skin sensitivity, or another sensitizer) was quite an effective photo-chemical treatment.

ABSTRACT

Studies were carried out on in vitro combination of ascorbic acid (AA) with six antibiotics against 12 multi-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates.

Synergic activity was detected with AA chloramphenicol, kanamycin, streptomycin and tetracycline.

Indifference was observed to any antibiotics and antagonism only for chloramphenicol. Results indicated that multiresistant P. aeruginosa was affected by combination of AA and antibiotics.

Future research on ascorbic acid-antimicrobial interactions may find new methods to control strains of multiresistant P. aeruginosa.

Wow, thank goodness my old employers have come to the fore! We used to discuss all these alternative therapies with the researchers but it was all squashed, despite proven treatments, research funding was very selective.
Thank you Bob!!! I am elated by this positive news. It works, and soon cannot be denied, just as heliobacter pylorii was proven and trashed the antacids market... but much much better. 👍👍👍

[Bob]

Thanks Avid and the group

I researched DCA (di-chloro-acetate) which is also used with tumor shrinking (such was suspected of being in some natural healing spring waters near Aberdeen Scotland, (river Dee) )..

So, what about a protocol of the Vitamin C, and then the regimen of the doxycycline antibiotic, and then adding in DCA (total treatment cost maybe 30$ per month in materials)..

Out of this webpage - http://www.newhopeforcancer.org/cancer-treatment.html

Glycolytic inhibitors; DCA, or dichloroacetate inhibits the cancer cells' ability to utilize sugar, while promoting normal mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (cancer cells that use oxidative phosphorylation are more susceptible to being destroyed).

The Vitamin C plus doxycycline prevents the cancer cell's ability to use the mitochondrial sugar engine.

From the op post 1 above:

First, the researchers inhibited the tumour cell mitochondria, by restricting the cancer cells only to glucose as a fuel source; then, they took away their glucose, effectively starving the cancer cells to death.

also, from the website mentioned,

Cancer cell cytotoxic agents; vitamin C, at high doses intravenously, when used with vitamin K3 at a ratio of 100:1, is preferentially cytotoxic to cancer cells, while leaving normal cells unharmed.

Oncologists will often tell patients not to take vitamin C because it is an anti-oxidant and it will interfere with the effectiveness of chemotherapy. (dohh)

These oncologists are unaware that at high doses, vitamin C acts as a pro-oxidant in cancer cells, leading to cancer cell death.

Wouldn't it be anecdotal if the cancer patient being treated for Lyme disease, happened to be taking large vitamin C doses.. and their tumors started disappearing.. Would the oncologists have connected the dots, and understood the mechanisms illustrated by the researchers at Salford University? To actually use vitamin C and the tetracycline-based antibiotic doxycycline?

It could be possible that WHEN and how much of the substances need to be looked at, like when to use the vitamin C, or the DCA or the doxycycline. So the idea of the researchers to take it to CLINICAL studies sounds correct, to develop the way to recognize WHEN to give what substance, how much and for how long.

A cancer treatment that costs about 30$ a month, certainly will upset money grubbing multi-national big-pharma. So I ask, are we about saving lives, creating quality again, or are we going to allow for euthanasia because big pharma thinks it can't make enough $$ on someone? Just asking my thoughts out loud here..

edited due to a multi-tasking failure 🙄

The Cancer Research charity, and similar, have much to answer for. Where are the billions of funds going? Cancer is big business, and as I've said for years, if it was able to be cured, (cannabis oil proven and banned, many eminent specialists in cures suddenly dying) what would happen to this huge torture business and all their accolytes?
So, this is a light at the end of a tunnel, unless it is 'snuffed'.... 🙄, praying for success at last. Go for it Salford 👍👍👍

Bet you could throw in Hydrazine sulphate:

http://www.hydrazinesulfate.org



and insulin, you would probably have a silver bullet

[Bob]

Ah yes, hydrazine sulfate.. ALL of these work with the sugar utilization and mitochondrial function. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/0006692384)

CBD, also affects the sugar utilization with the mitochondria and the cancer cells..

https://www.projectcbd.org/article/c...d-mitochondria

In 2012, French scientists reported the presence of cannabinoid receptors on the membranes of mitochondria, the energy-generating organelle within cells. This discovery laid the groundwork for subsequent investigations into the role of the endocannabinoid system in regulating mitochondrial activity, which is critical to how cells function. Defects in mitochondria have been linked a wide range of neurodegenerative, autoimmune and metabolic disorders — Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, autism, cancer, epilepsy, diabetes, cardiovascular and neuromuscular disease, and more.

A growing body of scientific data indicates that cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), two key components of the cannabis plant, can affect mitochondria, both directly and indirectly. It turns out that many of the biological pathways that involve mitochondria — including energy homeostasis, neurotransmitter release, and oxidative stress — are modulated by endogenous and exogenous cannabinoids.

So seems to me, looking at this, and how the KEY to the bicarbonate pathway of the magnesium is critical for energy utilization (within the mitochondria) for REPAIRS.. seems to me we're discussing something that has started to loosen big-pharma's death grip, all by turning on light and how it is produced (light, philosophically, as to a higher energy emission, or mitochondrial respiration).

Amazing ah ha! 's and dots connecting.

I wonder if Linus Pauling connected those mitochondrial energy utilization 'dots'.

Interesting that you worked there Avid, (post 3 above). It's wonderful where the right mindset can facilitate eventual transformation towards the positive ! Sometimes, I suppose, it takes time and holding the right focus, to move away from darkness/hopelessness and find the way.

Thanks Bob for the information. 11 years ago I was diagnosed with cancer albeit mine was a malignant tumor on my leg. I had the tumor removed and a pathologist was in the OR and essentially told the surgeon when it was completely removed. Aside from a nasty scar I've been healthy but continue to look into alternative treatments. I had heard about the Vitamin C but not Doxycycline. However it makes a lot of sense. I have also got interested in raising the body's PH and a take a host of supplements. Again many thanks! More work to research.

Welcome to the Forum GForce

Possibly the folks at Salford, http://www.salford.ac.uk/news/articl...cer-stem-cells might be willing to talk more-so about what their clinicals may encompass.

I've looked at using the magnesium bicarbonate as a pH increaser; something that seems to deal with excessive hydrochloric acid too. (although some folks have said that an decrease in stomach
acid, will stop excessive production - that doesn't seem to deal with overall body pH)..

All the key items in the thread so far deal with modifying the sugar/energy relationship with the tumor cells by the looks of it, which then ties into the mitochondria. How not to injure healthy cells and to only deal with tumor/cancer cells. That appears to be the dance.

I've looked at also genetic triggers, or turning on the various cellular repair mechanisms. That's part of my interest, understanding genetics, and how it works to take an information pattern, and build a living body from that pattern using DNA. A lot I have seen comes from the idea that there are information checks (kinda like cyclic redundancy checking in hard drive data), where one has a limited way to reconstruct damaged data (and potentially thereby rebuild the cell and its components).. Some checks say data is too corrupted, so terminate the "data set" before it can create any more damage.. Fascinating how that all "evolved" certainly seems like there was an intelligent hand in the developing of the DNA and cellular mechanisms to keep life going on..

On that not the 'abscorbic acid" pharma made is not good, the Vitamin C they are talking about comes ONLY from High Vitamin C fruits that receive lots of sun. Cherries from Peru, and Bolivia have been known by holistic healers to be the best. Now there is also a fruit called Tamarind and its 10 times the amount of Vitamin C than a lemon. I used this to eliminate my gland lumps. I have a friend that brought me a piece to try, and I saved the seeds and now it grows in my back yard. I bring it inside when it's winter, but the weather has been growing more and more unstable as the seasons begin. I can't help but think of what Christ said about the tender leaves falling like figs or "you won't be able to tell one season from another."

[Baby Steps]

So according to the article 'Take two beers....'

The antibiotic is made when the seed yeast is being part baked. The seed dough is added as a starter to the beer malt solution.

So the Nubians could mimic the study by going on a three week beer binge followed by a fruit binge.

( The antibiotics eliminate any mitochondria within the cancer which do not rely exclusively on glucose. Once that is achieved , the tumour is much more vulnerable to glucose deprivation, as done by the Vitamin C)

[Bob]

With vitamin C coming up again, reviewing this thread showing combination use of vitamin C plus could be useful. In the other thread on sepsis, vitamin C plus a corticosteroid (to reduce or stop cell leakage) is important.

My feeling leaky gut syndrome is tied into the GMO foreign proteins designed to kill insects, by busting their guts open from the inside.. Monsanto back then said it's safe cause the pH (acid/base levels) of the gut in humans is not the same as the insect gut.. However people take pH changing substances.. https://returntonow.net/2016/03/10/526/

Bt, or Bacillus thuringiensis, is a naturally occurring soil bacteria with insecticidal properties. Monsanto took a gene from the bacteria, put it into a gun, and shot it into corn cells – creating corn that produces it’s own insecticide, Smith explains.

Bt insecticide kills insects by “breaking open their stomachs,” Smith says.

“There are peer reviewed studies of hundreds of people showing allergic and flu-like symptoms when exposed to Bt,” he said. Mice exposed to Bt had damaged intestines and immune responses. It has also been demonstrated to poke holes in human cells, causing leakage.

Smith believes Bt is also poking holes in the human gut, allowing the toxin – and, in severe cases, particles of food – into the blood stream, which might explain why some children these days are “allergic to everything.”

The action of Monsanto "hiding" by being eaten up by Bayer won't alleviate the dangers that their modified food products have evoked...

If there is a leaky gut, the vitamin C plus a proper cortico-steroid would be appropriate it seems, and the addition of doxycycline may very well prevent internal tumors from growing.. Possibly the tumor is originally due to the body trying to encyst (encapsulate) a foreign protein that does't belong in the body? (Leaky capillaries, and toxins which would have been broken down make it through and into the bloodstream..)

[spade]

I am certainly confused now about high vitamin C fruit based supplements and the consumption of Liposomal Vitamin C (ascorbic acid only) - which has claimed to have brought the nearly dead farmer back to life in NZ. can someone help me with my understanding of this?
