Gynaecological cancers encompass all uncontrolled and aberrant cell growth in the female reproductive system, therapeutic interventions are constantly evolving, but there is still a high death rate, significant side effects and medication resistance, making the task of treatment challenging and complex. The essential oil extracted from the rhizome of Curcuma longa is a promising natural drug, which has excellent biological activity on cancer cells and is to be developed as a new type of anti-...

Cancer cells alter their metabolic requirements to ensure optimal nutrient use for their survival, evasion from host immune attack, and proliferation. Cancer cells utilise different pathways to survive and proliferate. The glucose (glycolysis) pathway is NOT the only one. Let's take a look: 1. Glycolysis pathway provides cancer cells with ATP to form nucleotides, amino acids (AAs) and lipids, and to maintain cancer cells redox homeostasis. Pyruvate is produced by glycolysis. Pyru...

Hope can be a major tool of empowerment and an element for sustaining life and the will to live. We hope for better times. We hope for remission. We hope to prolong life by averting death through medical treatment and supportive care. Or, if disease progresses, we hope to control pain, side effects, and suffering.  We hope for treatments that can cure or palliate and make the disease stable. The Oxford Dictionary defines hope as “to entertain expectations of something desired.&rdq...

Kinesiology is a form of therapy that uses muscle monitoring (biofeedback) to look at imbalances that may be causing disease in the body. It is not used to diagnose disorders. Kinesiology as used in the complementary health or natural medicine field, is defined primarily as the use of muscle testing to identify imbalances in the body’s structural, chemical, emotional or other energy, to establish the body’s priority healing needs, and to evaluate energy changes brought about by a...

Resveratrol is a plant compound that acts like an antioxidant. The Japanese chemist Michio Takaoka first isolated trans-resveratrol in 1939 from Veratrum album, commonly known as false helleborine. The name “resveratrol” comes from the fact that it’s a derivative of resorcinol and was first extracted from a species of Veratrum. D. Sinclair reported in 2003 that resveratrol activated the SIRT genes in yeast cells, which influence various cellular processes. This development h...
