Food Helps Reduce Hair Loss and Protein Calorie Malnutrition in Cancer Patients Using Chemotherapy

Adjuvant nutritional food may prevent hair loss and Protein Calorie Malnutrition, which has been linked to increased mortality, surgical failures, reduced response to chemotherapy, slow wound healing, weakness, and apathy.

(PRWEB) November  2004

Hair loss is common in cancer patients. We constantly are reminded of this devasting side effect when we see pictures of hundreds of children with bald heads who have been treated with chemotherapy.

In addition to this side effect, reports show that 25-50 percent of hospital cancer patients suffer from Protein Calorie Malnutrition and only 1/3 of them survive five years. To help prevent these side effects, many doctors are recommending to their patients a food from Asia (liquid fermented/nitrogenated soybean beverage) that has been used as a parallel therapy in many documented cases, alongside traditional cancer treatments.

The beverage's benefits include strengthening of the immune system and a reduction in side effects normally associated with these types of treatments.

Hydrolyzed soy protein liquid becomes a free-form amino acid, which has been found to enter the bloodstream effectively. The soy liquid protein levels have achieved blood protein levels of up to 8½ percent, comparable to hospital treatments administered through an I.V., which averaged results between 8-11 percent.

This is an especially important factor to underscore for protein deficient cancer patients.    

As explained in the book, Cancer Disarmed Expanded (http://www.safegoodspub.com/), the fermented/nitrogenated soy’s benefits for the immune system are profound in the manner in which penetration is accomplished into the cancer cell, where its constituents can effectively weaken it. The nitrogenation process connects high levels of nitrogen atoms, usable to the body, directly to the small bioactive isoflavone and encourages absorption of the soy by the cancer cell.

This nitrogenated compound when absorbed by the cancer cell, provides a camouflaged entry for the anticancer proteins and phytochemicals. Once inside, the soybean protein isolate destroys blood vessels by changing the DNA back to normal.

This reprogramming shuts off the release of the enzyme that dissolves blood capillaries and promotes angiogenesis (the production of new blood vessels) that feed tumor growth.

Once the cancer cell is disabled and weakened, the immune system and the T-cells can use the nitric acid to dissolve them. It is this process that makes specific concentrated, soybean liquids so distinctive.

Clinical evidence indicates that selective nutrition may be able to influence the cancer process even after initiation.

Although adjuvant nutrition is not encouraged or endorsed as the sole therapy for aggressive cancer, it may prevent hair loss and Protein Calorie Malnutrition, which has been linked to increased mortality, surgical failures, reduced response to chemotherapy, slow wound healing, weakness, and apathy.
