It is well-known that Cancer is a most atrocious disease, in that it has caused the death of tens of millions of people through the world. Indeed, the number of death cause through the disease in the past decade is within the hundreds of millions. Too many people have died from this terrible disease and too many more happen to be affected. This situation is simply UNACCEPTABLE. Countries should no longer stay indifference to this dehibilitating disease that is wiping out a good range of their population. While there have been great strides and great achievements in the world of Cancer Research, it's imcomprehensible to me why there has not been a answer to this disease.

There is just one area of cancer research which has produced some good results. This is in the area of helping cancer patients to reverse the disease by eliminating the cancer cells. Ironically, this same method can also be very effective in aiding people from developing the disease in the first place. Among the most treatable types of cancer are cancer of the prostate and breast cancer. This is all done without chemotherapy. Basically scientist have discovered that a compound commonly found in red wine called Resveratrol has helped patients of breast cancer and cancer of the prostate. Resveratrol is a natural compound that comes from fruits for example grapes, berries, nuts, as well as others. The source of Resveratrol is very important because it comes within different strengths. Grapes is considered to be the top source of Resveratrol, and also the best liquid form of that is in Red Wine.

Another major organ of the body that is helped significantly by Resveratrol will be the liver. Liver problems and liver cancer occurs mainly through toxins and chemicals that infects the liver and adversely impact the cells in the liver. This condition does cause the liver to shrink gradually. Resveratrol has been shown to be effective in treating patients with liver problems. It does this by cleaning out the toxins that infects the liver cells and flush them out of the human body.

The key to cancer is in the cells, the primary question is: how do you eliminate the tumors without wiping out the entire or perhaps a significant quantity of cells in the organ? Cellular therapy is therefore in the method better than traditional chemotherapy which kills a significant amount of cells. With Resveratrol, scientists and doctors focusing on the sector of cancer treatment will be able to produce anti-tumor activity within the affected cell area. In a research published in CANCER LETTERS in Feb 2001, explanation Charis Eng, MD, Ph.D., Chair of the Genomic Medicine Institute of Cleveland Clinic's Lerner Research Institute, led her team to study the effect of combining resveratrol, a chemopreventive drug found in several natural compounds, with rapamycin on breast cancer cells.

Rapamycin has been in clinical trials as a drug for cancer treatment, it has had some effects as a suppresant to tumor growth, but unfortunately, before long the cancer cells developed a resistance to the drug. Because of this, the scientists in this study combined Resveratrol with Rapamycin in the treatment of cancer of the breast. The results were very interesting. This is what Dr Eng had to say about the results:

"Our findings show that resveratrol seems to mitigate rapamycin-induced drug resistance in breast cancers, at least within the laboratory. If these observations hold true in the clinic setting, then enjoying a glass of red wine or eating a bowl of boiled peanuts -- which has a better resveratrol content than red wine -- before rapamycin treatment for cancer may very well be a prudent approach."

The scientific community has know for years that Resveratrol found in red wine has tremendous benefits for the heart, which explains the low rate of death from cardiac arrest in European countries like France and Italy, as opposed to Americans. Basically, with the finding that this same compound, can help treat cancer of the breast patients and prostate cancer patients, doctors are now equipped with some natural ways to help reverse the illness and naturally eliminate cancer cells.
