DHA reduces tumor growth

In an article published online on April 1, 2009 in the journal Cell Division, Egyptian researchers report that the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), found in fish and the algae they consume, not only offers its own protection against tumor growth, but improves the chemotherapeutic effects of cisplatin while reducing its toxicity.

Professor A. M. El-Mowafy of Mansoura University’s Department of Biochemistry and associates administered 125 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) DHA, 250 mg/kg of DHA, cisplatin alone, cisplatin combined with 125 mg/kg DHA, or a control substance to groups of 8 to 10 mice implanted with mammary carcinoma cells. A group of mice not implanted with tumor cells served as controls. Serum C-reactive protein (CRP, a marker of inflammation), white blood cells, and MDA (a marker of lipid peroxidation) were measured, and tumor development was assessed after 20 days.

Dr. Robert Rowen, MD is internationally known for his work in the field of complementary, alternative and integrative medicine. He is known as the "Father of Medical Freedom" for his efforts to legalize alternative medicine in 1990 in Alaska. He worked with Senator Ward and Governor Hickel to accomplish this amazing feat.

The rare medical freedom he enjoyed in Alaska enabled him to greatly expand his knowledge and experience in a multitude of disciplines and therapies not normally found in medicine.

Jumping into alternative medicine in 1983, through a practice in acupuncture, he quickly incorporated nutritional medicine, chelation therapy, oxidation therapy, homeopathy and herbal medicine, and took intensive training in neural therapy and prolotherapy to help treat and eliminate acute and chronic pain.

Alaska's laws enabled him to work extensively with innovative cancer therapies, ozone, and ultraviolet blood irradiation therapy.

He is internationally known and respected for training hundreds of open-minded physicians in these techniques from around the world. Dr. Robert Rowen is truly one of the health heroes I met and became friends with over 45 years of health research.
