A new animal experiment offers hope for many facing cancer. The research found that DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement. had a specific anti-cancer effect1 on its own, as well as being able to boost the effectiveness of a cancer drug (cisplatin). Furthermore, DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement. was able to stop the toxic kidney-related side effects of this cancer treatment. DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement. was able to support the healthy function of antioxidant systems in the kidneys, as well as lowering the inflammatory marke C reactive protein ( CRP C-reactive protein. It is an acute phase protein that increases during systemic inflammation. It is a general way to assess cardiovascular disease risk. A more sensitive test for heart disease risk is hs-CRP, highly sensitive 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 Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement.”. Share:
