    Fantastic article written by John Lee, MD.  This article is a great review on saliva testing and hormone therapy as it relates to both men and women; even though this article is in reference to men.  Worth your time to read

Vitamin C increases viral mimicry induced by 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine | PNAS - 0 views

  • Vitamin C alone at concentrations up to 57 μM had little effect on cell growth but was toxic at 228 μM (SI Appendix, Fig. S1B), in line with recent studies of high vitamin C concentrations (125–2,000 μM)
  • In our combination approach, vitamin C increased the effects of low doses of 5-aza-CdR, with 57 μM vitamin C almost doubling the growth inhibition
  • Using the Chou–Talalay method (28), we found that the two compounds indeed acted synergistically, rather than additively, to inhibit cancer cell growth over the physiological ranges of vitamin C in healthy individuals (26–84 μM)

  • These results show that targeting the cancer DNA methylome by combining low-dose 5-aza-CdR and vitamin C stimulates the expression of ERVs, the induction of a cell-autonomous immune activation response, and increased apoptosis of cancer cells
  • The addition of vitamin C to treatment protocols therefore may be a straightforward way to increase the clinical efficacy of such drugs in MDS and leukemia patients
  • Vitamin C deficiency has been seen previously in patients with multiple types of cancer, including hematological malignancies (35⇓–37). We predict that these patients might receive the most benefits from the combination treatment.
  • induction of an innate immune response
  • We therefore measured plasma concentrations of vitamin C in a small number of patients with miscellaneous hematologic malignancies. Strikingly, 58% of patients with hematological neoplasia who were not taking vitamin C supplements had severe vitamin C deficiency (serum concentration <11.4 μM, at which clinical features of scurvy may be manifested) (34), and 33% had vitamin C levels below the normal range
  • it is possible that vitamin C was oxidized to DHA before it was transported into the cells
  • Oral administration of vitamin C should be sufficient for the therapeutic strategy, because the concentrations reported in this study would not require i.v. administration.

      This statement lacks a basic understanding of vitamin C pharmacokinetics.
  • Vitamin C is an essential nutrient for humans and has been reported to increase IFN levels in human cells upon virus infection
  • daily treatment with vitamin C alone at physiological concentrations enhanced the expression of viral-defense genes relative to untreated cells
  • When combined with low-dose 5-aza-CdR, physiological concentrations of vitamin C synergistically inhibited cancer-cell growth and induced apoptosis. Such synergy was associated with increased ERV expression and dsRNA in treated cells. The mechanism of action differs from that of vitamin C at higher doses, which involves its pro-oxidant activity, including GSH inhibition, to generate reactive oxygen species
  • This activity has been shown to induce DNA damage and to enhance the sensitivities of myeloid malignancies, multiple myeloma, and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma to arsenic trioxide (41⇓⇓–44). It also can increase chemosensitivity of ovarian cancer cells (27) and selectively kill KRAS or BRAF mutant colorectal cancer cells by inhibiting GAPDH
  • reactive oxygen species

    91% of patients with hematologic malignancies have vitamin C levels that are either low or severly deficient. This study found that vitamin C plus low dose DNA methyltransferase inhibitors have synergistic inhibition of cancer cell proliferation and increased apoptosis.  Unfortunately, the authors claimed that oral vitamin C would be sufficient which indicates an incredible lack of understanding of vitamin C pharmacokinetics.

  • Inflammation: the link between insulin resistance, obesity and diabetes
  • Chronic overnutrition (obesity) might thus be a proinflammatory state with oxidative stress. Secondly, the increased concentrations of TNF-α and IL-6, associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes, might interfere with insulin action by suppressing insulin signal transduction. This might interfere with the anti-inflammatory effect of insulin, which in turn might promote inflammation.

  • A marked decrease in anti-oxidant marker enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), reduced glutathione (GSH) and increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) was observed in the diabetic rats
  • inger may be used as therapeutic agent in preventing complications in diabetic patients.
  • These results suggest that ginger exhibit a neuroprotective effect by accelerating brain anti-oxidant defense mechanisms and down regulating the MDA levels to the normal levels in the diabetic rats
