For years we have been proponents of using nutrition and Nutritional supplements to enhance the bodies best defense mechanism: The Immune System. By law I can't make disease claims with supplements, but I did want to share with with you a relatively non-toxic pharmaceutical drug that works to fight prostate cancer by using the bodies own immune system.
A company I have been following recently received FDA Advisory Panel Approval for their drug known as Provenge. The real thumbs up or thumbs down from the FDA comes this May. Should this drug be given approval this May, Denderon should become somewhat of a household name among Biotech, Big Pharma and certainly those with prostate cancer.
Being a one time cancer patient, I can attest to the outright "mid-evilness" of Chemo and Radiation therapies. These are not fun and last time I checked the "War on Cancer" is not looking very positive. I like companies like Dendreon because they seem to be taking a different approach, similar to what common sense would suggest - They are using a drug to enhance the bodies own Immune System to get the job done!
If you are a cancer patient you may want to take a look at the other types of cancers Dendreon is looking to tackle such as active immunotherapies against bladder, breast, ovarian, lung, colon cancer and more. Here is a LINK to their website where you can learn more.
In closing, I'm excited to see new approaches to serious illness, but even with advances in stem cells and Immunotherapies it's important to realize that the cure sometimes isn't far from the cause, meaning "An ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure".
So, stay as stress free as possible, drink plenty of clean water, eat Organic and take a daily-multi supplement at the least for Insurance!
