Cancer treatment with peptides therapies

Posted on by

Recently we have added cancer treatment with peptide therapies to our services.

Peptides are very small proteins that can easily enter cancer cells and either disrupt their cell membranes, vastly increase the penetration of other cancer therapies into the cancer cells or in general increase the immune defense of the body.

Here is one example of such a peptide:

Thymosin α-1

It is a major component of Thymosin Fraction 5 and is responsible for restoring and modulating immune function, particularly cell mediated immune function. Recent studies showed that Thymosin Alpha-1 molecule increased major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class-1 and Toll-like receptor expression as well as cytokine production, suggesting its immunoregulatory role.

It is actually an FDA approved medication after it received orphan drug approval status. It is widely used and studied in multiple types of cancer and viral illnesses. Many physicians are using thymosin for chronic fatigue and Lyme disease as well as autoimmune functions.

TA 1 is thought to modulate the immune system by augmenting T-cell function. TA1 may affect thymocytes by stimulating their differentiation or by converting them to active T cells.

It is administered as sub cutaneous injections.

Another peptide is iRGD which has been shown in a study to increase the penetration of the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin over 40 times.

More information on benefits of peptides in specific conditions to follow soon.

 

 

 

Nervous Exhaustion

Nervous Exhaustion?

We have been very successful with the root of the Winter Cherry (also known as Withania, Ashwaganda, Indian Ginseng) for helping with this kind of fatigue.

The Winter Cherry can be helpful in:

  • Nervous exhaustion;
  • Tonic for all ages: from young athletes to the elderly;
  • Recovering from illnesses;
  • Increases resistance to cold stress;
  • Supports the adrenal gland to keep the cortisol level stable;

We have found True Botanica’s Recovery Tonic especially helpful because their formula has the unique feature of including not just the root extract, but also the native salts of the root, additional potentized minerals for strengthening the adrenal gland and Bioperine to further improve absorption.

Foot Massage for Migraines, Thyroid Health, and Fatigue

An Integral Part of Anthroposophic Therapeutics

Reflexology has been successfully practiced due to the understanding that all organs are projected on the foot sole.

Massaging the foot can have a significantly invigorating effect on the whole body. An evening foot massage can restore a lot of the energy that is lost during the day. Rudolf Steiner recommends foot massage, for example, in migraines as a means of attracting the astral body to the region opposite the head and decongesting the affected area.

He recommends the massage of the heel in thyroid disorders. He gives, of course, innumerable indications for the feet in the practice of eurythmy. Overall the feet may affect the health of the entire body just by how they affect the position and function of the spinal column.

A favorite product we use and recommend is True Botanica’s Refreshing Foot Cream™. It uniquely contains jasper (the gem stones corresponding to the feet), boswellia (the frankincense resin that is healing to the skin), anti- inflammatory oils, etc., without any damaging additives.

Give it a try for your health or to overcome tiredness!
