Episode 5: Eating Away at Cancer
KC Craichy: You know, most cancer centers you go to today will tell
you that you are not to take antioxidants during cancer treatment
because the process which we are using, they’re telling you, is an
oxidative process and our goal is to use that process for your benefit to
try to bring about the killing of cancer cells so that before—so if you
used antioxidants they would essentially quench what we’re trying to do.
But the research does not back that up. I’ve now seen multiple studies
on this particular presentation said that cancer—or taking antioxidants
during cancer treatment extends the patient life outcome dramatically
than those who do not receive antioxidants during. Antioxidants are by
nature anti-inflammatory, okay, and by nature anti-glycotant [ph]. So in
other words, antiglycation and by…
Ty: What would that mean
KC Craichy: Glycation is basically carmelization of a protein. So
instead of having oxidation with oxygen, okay, oxidized in a fat or a lipid,
it’s like having a sugar carmelized on top of a protein and make the
protein irrelevant. Okay, advanced, glycated in the product. So A-G-E,
age, so really when you see like cross linked old skin what you’re seeing
is collagen cross linking or advanced glycated end products, glycation. I
wrote about this in my book in 2005 and I said there in five years
glycation is going to be as well known as oxidation. Well, here it is 10
years later and still—nobody still knows about it. But the point is simple.
It is a foundational root of disease including cancer—oxidation,
inflammation, glycation, and angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is basically
getting a blood supply to an area.
Say if you twist your ankle you’re going to get aggressive inflammation
and the inflammation is going to draw the angiogenesis to the area to
where the body will release new blood flow to the area and then when
the chronic situation is over with or when the acute situation is over with
it will pull back the vessels and you’re fine. it’s the chronic angiogenesis
that’s the problem. In a cancer cell, most cancer cells, they will hide and
then get a blood supply through angiogenesis which is chronic
angiogenesis which is a big problem. The point I’m making here is this
corner, the antioxidant corner, when you’re addressing all five of these
classes, those things actually address, they regulate these four major
processes that underlie the disease. So if you control oxidation and
inflammation and glycation and angiogenesis you can—a disease
cannot progress—I mean I’m oversimplifying it. But if you take these
foundational root power of a disease away it’s going to really stunt the
growth of whatever that disease is trying to do. And you can do that
through nutrition. We’ve seen that.
