Ovarian Cancer Support Group
Ovarian cancer is a malignant ovarian neoplasm (an abnormal growth located on the ovaries). It is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women and the exact cause is unknown. Join this community to get support if you or someone you know is affected by ovarian cancer. Share your story and learn from the experiences of others.
Coenzyme Q-10 is a chemical naturally occuring in human cells. This enzyme is essential to the health of cells. Research has shown that coenzyme Q-10 is greatly depleted in the cells of cancer patients. [21, 33, 48, 55] Additional research has shown that the enzyme may act as an antioxidant and as a stimulant to the human immune system. [7, 18, 35, 50] A third stream of research indicates that coenzyme Q10 may disrupt normal biochemical reactions that are required for cell growth and/or survival and thereby serve as chemotherapeutic agents. [5, 19, 27, 50] This research suggests that the enzyme can be used to treat cancer by:
(a) retarding the growth of cancer cells,
(b) replenishing depleted enzyme and thereby promoting the transformation of the cancer cell to a healthy cell, and
(c) boosting the production of immune system killer cells for an attack on the cancer cell.
Studies indicate that the relevant dosage is from 90-300 mg of coenzyme Q-10 per day [12
According to some research, bovine cartilage has chemical ingredients that may retard the growth of blood vessels to cancer cells. [6, 9, 62, 63] Other research indicates that the cartilage may generate a chemical reaction that is toxic to, and inhibits the growth of, cancer cells. [11, 16, 26, 38, 61, 64] A third stream of research indicates that bovine cartilage stimulates the human immune system. [3, 9 This research suggests that bovine cartilage can be used to treat cancer by:
(a) retarding the growth of nutrient-supplying blood vessels to the cancer cell,
(b) poisoning cancer cells, and
(c) stimulating the human immune system to attack the cancer cell.
Studies indicate that the relevant dosage is 9 grams per day. [69]
Wheat grass is a nutrient that has a similar chemical composition to hemoglobin. Consequently, it has a high oxygen content. It also provides a wide range of minerals and vitamins at substantial levels. Purportedly, these contents significantly boost the production of killer cells by the human immune system. [32] Others have proposed that the grass induces gene changes that retard chemical signals sent from the cancer cell to adajcent healthy cells. In the process, the cancer growth and development process is severely compromised, or potentially eliminated. Another proposition is that the wheat grass contains enzymes that will break down the protein that protects cancer cells, thereby exposing the diseased cell to attacks by the enhanced immune system. [32, 36] The indicated dosage is 2-6 grams of wheat grass per day. [32] Little formal research has been reported on these propositions.
Taken together, a daily nutritional regime of wheat grass, bovine cartilage, and coenyzme Q-10, then, implements the four main scientific theories for alternative cancer treatment. Wheat grass breaks down the cancer's protective protein capsule, retards the cancer cell's chemical signal to adjacent cells, and boost the immune system's production of killer cells. Bovine cartilage also stimulates the immune system, poisons cancer cells, and retards the expansion of the cancer's nutrient supplying blood cells. Coenzyme Q-10 also retards the growth of cancer cells, replenishes an ingredient essential to healthy cell maintenance, and also boosts the immune system.
