Low–cost diagnostic tool for detection of cancer in the human body.
Times of India
2 April 2010
Shillong, India
An Indian scientist has developed a blood–based cancer biomarker, which can potentially work as a low–cost diagnostic tool to detect different human cancers. It is perhaps the world’s first low–cost diagnostic tool for detection of cancer in the human body.
Early cancer detection can significantly enhance chances of a patient’s recovery. “It is a simple blood–test kit, much like a pregnancy or diabetes test. I have developed a bio–molecular marker of cancer in blood, which can easily track cancer through blood test,” R N Sharan of the North–Eastern Hills University said. The biomolecular tool has passed preliminary trials and is now being vetted through multicentre tests in the US and Japan. The kit may be ready for mass production in about two to three years’ time, he said. “The test can be performed by any individual at home and it should not cost more than Rs 100–150. What it requires is a small amount of blood, which can be drawn from a finger tip,” he said.
Sharan, a leading biochemist said it took him and his team of PhD students over two decades to develop the kit. “Numerous scientific aspects need to be looked into and understood in mouse and cell culture models before a sound hypothesis can be put forward,” he said.

Clean your kidneys...
Gmail - Fwd: Fw: Clean your kidneys... - venkym1@gmail.com: "CLEAN YOUR KIDNEYS IN LESS THAN Rs 1.00
Years pass by and our kidneys are filtering the blood by removing salt, poison and any unwanted entering our body. With time, the salt accumulates and this needs to undergo cleaning treatments and how are we going to overcome this?
It is very easy, first take a bunch of parsley (MALLI Leaves) KOTHIMBIR (DHANIYA)and wash it clean
Then cut it in small pieces and put it in a pot and pour clean water and boil it for ten minutes and let it cool down and then filter it and pour in a clean bottle and keep it inside refrigerator to cool.
Drink one glass daily and you will notice all salt and other accumulated poison coming out of your kidney by urination also you will be able to notice the difference which you never felt before.
Parsley is known as best cleaning treatment for kidneys and it is natural!"

Urine test predicted results of prostate biopsy | HemOncToday
Urine test predicted results of prostate biopsy | HemOncToday: "The PCA3 urine test accurately predicted whether a prostate biopsy would detect cancer in a prospective subanalysis of patients in the Reduction by Dutasteride of Prostate Cancer Events — or REDUCE — trial.
Jack Groskopf, PhD, director of research and development in cancer diagnostics at Gen-Probe, presented the findings of the analysis during a press conference in advance of the 2010 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium. He said these latest results expand on previous studies indicating that the PCA3 test is another tool to determine how frequently prostate cancer biopsies are necessary.
The PCA3 gene is over-expressed in prostate cancers but not in benign prostate disorders such as prostatitis or enlarged prostate. The PCA3 molecular test measures PCA3 expression in urine samples. The test is being test marketed in Europe and is available in some certified laboratories in the United States as a laboratory developed test.
“The PCA3 scores correlated with risk of a positive biopsy,” Groskopf said. “We also found that PCA3 could add value on top of a multivariate model using serum PSA and other clinical information. PCA3 had greater specificity than serum PSA.”
When comparing PCA3 scores at two years vs. biopsy outcomes at four years, it is possible that PCA3 picked up cancers undetected by biopsy, according to Groskopf.
Researchers evaluated the test in 1,072 men in the placebo arm of REDUCE. They found that only 6% of men with a PCA3 score less than 5 were later diagnosed with cancer. In contrast, 57% of those with a score of 100 or greater were later found to have cancer.
Groskopf said median PCA3 scores were higher in men with high-grade cancers than in those with low-grade cancers. In addition, men with elevated PCA3 scores and a negative biopsy at two years from baseline were twice as likely to have cancer detected through prostate biopsy at four years compared with men with lower PCA3 scores.

Gmail - FW: Excellent article on Cancer - venkym1@gmail.com: "AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .
Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins :
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion.
When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.
3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumour size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumour destruction.
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON:
a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful.
A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.
b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells are being starved.
c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts)and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrefied and leads to more toxic build-up.
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Florescence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a s stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
