New Research on Immune System and Cancer

I ran across an interesting news article titled “Cancer cure ‘may be available in two years‘ ” which described published research by Dr. Zheng Cui from Wake Forest University’s Comprehensive Cancer Center titled “Spontaneous Regression of Advanced Cancer in Mice“.

The detailed study they’ve performed involved transfusions of “super strength” cancer-killing cells from mice with strong immune systems resistant to a virulent strain of mouse cancer, into normal mice without the strong immune system.

Cancer induced in the normal mice disappeared after the transfusion of the cancer-killing cells into the normal mice, an observation commonly referred to in the medical community as “Spontaneous Regression” since science has no current explanation why the cancers disappeared.

“… Based on these results, Drs. Cui and Willingham and their colleagues suggest that a previously unknown immune response may be responsible for spontaneous regression.”

If you read their detailed research in the link above, you can’t help but notice an interesting similarity to the way in which LDN has been theorized to work on cancer cells, by up-regulating the body’s immune system.

The difference is that LDN is using the body’s own immune system to fight the cancer’s “…by increasing the natural killer (NK) cell numbers and NK cell activity…” which is one of the mechanisms that this new mouse research has identified as one of the reasons for the “spontaneous regression”.

The introduction of donor cells into the body may produce unintended consequences that may also be dangerous, versus working on the body’s own immune system to induce similiar responses.

The cancer researchers have identified a previously unknown mechanism that mainstream cancer research has not accepted as possible but has now been found occurring in nature (the researchers just “…happened upon a single mouse that surprised them with its ability to resist several forms of cancer). Their final statement at the end of the research article says it all: “We can only be grateful that Nature never read our textbooks

    Dee, that last statement “We can only be grateful that Nature never read our textbooks” is exactly what all of us LDN users are hoping for.
    Thanks again for posting your research findings.

    Possible in two years, he said. Only if his research is taked very seriously, very quickly.

    PS hope you had a great time on your recent visit to Tailand.

    Dear Dee,
    I have read your article with great interest. I, myself, suffer from MS which I have had for approximately 19 years. In that 19 year span of time, the only thing that has really helped me is LDN. Since I started taking LDN in May 2007, I no longer suffer from physical or mental fatigue and I have noticeably more mental clarity. Since I suffer from Chronic Progressive MS, it will take a long time for me to know whether or not LDN has stopped the progress of my illness. Meanwhile, the two side effects that I mentioned above are very positive.
    I am not familiar with the LDN Blog. Is there a link that I can go to periodically in order to read articles like yours? Are you familiar with http://www.ldninfo.org ? That is where I first educated myself about LDN. I will be very interested hear/see more of your story.
    Most sincerely, Ronnie

  3. The easiest way to stay updated about me is to visit my web page dedicated to LDN http://www.ldn4cancer.com and click on the tab “My LDN Story” which will take you to my personal blog about my experiences with LDN and other personal observations as a Stage 4B cancer survivor. I hope that others may find something of benefit from my experiences.

    Dee
