Hallo,
hier der Versuch des NCI (Nat. Cancer Institute USA)
Vegane Ernährung + boswellia
http://www.cancer.gov/ncicancerbulletin/NCI_Cancer_Bulletin_061207/page7Ausschnitt davon:
Resin from the Boswellia serrata tree (frankincense) has been shown in animal and human studies to reduce inflammation, which is a primary cause of brain edema. Additionally, laboratory studies suggest that B. serrata resin may also cause human brain cancer cells to undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis).
In this trial, patients will be randomly assigned to take an herbal preparation of B. serrata orally four times a day and eat a low-fat vegan diet for 6 months or to eat a normal low-fat diet for 6 months.
Vegan diets lack arachidonic acid, a chemical found in meat that is converted in the brain to signaling molecules called eicosanoids that may promote inflammation and tumor growth.Methionin:

der Hirntumor das Kontrastmittel "Methionin" gerade zu frisst.

http://www.supportiveoncology.net/journal/articles/0203288a.pdfID03-0066: A Phase I-II Study of Dietary Methionine Restriction and Temodar (Temozolomide) for the Treatment of Recurrent and Progressive Glioblastoma Multiforme.
Principal Investigator: Morris D. Groves
Research Nurse: Melesa G. Ritterhouse, RN
Rationale
This unique study will assess the efficacy and toxicity of a methionine (MET) restricted diet combined with TMZ in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme. This treatment is only available at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Recent preclinical studies strongly suggest that depletion of MET, an essential amino acid, synergistically enhances the efficacy of temozolomide (TMZ) in the treatment of glioma.
Tumor cells are substantially killed with the diet alone and the diet causes the tumor cells to become more sensitive to the chemotherapy through several means. In the laboratory, MET restriction has shown regression of human brain tumor xenografts in mice. Participants will take TMZ orally every day for 5 days every 28 days.
During periods of methionine free diet, participants will consume only "shakes" containing Hominex-2®.The diet is easy to prepare, palatable, and nutritionally complete.

kostet so 500 USD
