Human Rights Day >> Newly Identified Compounds from Sourdough Bread May One Day Help to Treat the Underlying Cause of Cancer, Researchers Say

Human Rights Day (10 December)
All States and interested organizations were invited by the
United Nations General Assembly in 1950 to observe 10 December
as Human Rights Day (resolution 423 (V)). The Day marks the anniversary
of the Assembly's adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.

Newly Identified Compounds from Sourdough Bread May One Day Help to Treat the Underlying Cause of Cancer, Researchers Say

(PRLEAP.COM) Tempe, AZ, June 18, 2003 – More research is accumulating that may explain why some people develop cancer in the first place and why some people survive cancer while others don’t. This theory, known as the "Immune Tolerance’ theory is supported by experts who believe that cancer is a common occurance, but that a normal person’s immune system keeps such cancers in check and destroy them before they are large enough to be detectable or cause symptoms and damage. Their view is that any cancer forms solely as a failure of the immune system to recognize and destroy these foreign cells. As early as 1993, a paper appeared in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences by Dr. James McCoy, who studied the role of the immune system in cancer and which supported the Immune Tolerance theory of cancer development. The study followed 77 women with breast cancer who were about to undergo surgery. When the surgery was performed, tumor tissue samples were taken and cultured with the patient’s own white blood (immune) cells. In one group of women, the white blood cells had no reaction to their own tumors. In another group of women, the white blood cells responded by mounting an immune response. The study followed each group of these women for more than 12 years; after which time, 47% of those women who showed no immune response had died. Of those woman who did have an immune reaction, 95% were still alive. In a more recent paper presented by Scientist and Researcher Neil Riordan, M.A., P.A.-C. at the Comprehensive Cancer Care Symposium in Arlington, Virginia in 2000, research was presented which shows it now may be possible to treat this Immune Tolerance and what some believe to be the underlying cause of cancer in the first place. Mr. Riordan presented evidence that novel compounds, called MPGCs, extracted from the bacteria used to ferment Sourdough Bread may help to correct "Immune Tolerance’ and increase survival. Animals with tumors treated with MPGC compounds had a 45% increase in immune activity, which resulted in a 77% inhibition of tumor growth compared to non-treated animals. "People develop cancer,’ says Riordan, "because of immune tolerance; that is, their immune systems are tolerating these tumors or cancers to grow.’ "The whole idea is to break immune tolerance,’ says Riordan, "and MPGCs provide a powerful new means to naturally and safely help the body heal itself and restore order.’
