DHA Helps Combat Cancer

Monday, April 06, 2009 - Byron J. Richards, CCN

A new animal experiment offers hope for many facing cancer.  The research found that DHA had a specific anti-cancer effect on its own, as well as being able to boost the effectiveness of a cancer drug (cisplatin).  Furthermore, DHA was able to stop the toxic kidney-related side effects of this cancer treatment.

DHA was able to support the healthy function of antioxidant systems in the kidneys, as well as lowering the inflammatory marke C reactive protein (CRP).  Deppleted antioxidant defense systems and increased inflammation are crucial for cancer growth, so lowering them was likely to be helpful – which was demonstrated by the study.

The authors of this study concluded, “Our results suggest a new, fruitful drug regimen in the management of solid tumors based on combining cisplatin, and possibly other chemotherapeutics, with DHA”.
