Glutathione and Cancer

First of all, What is Cancer?

Cancer is the SYMPTOM of DNA mutation, abnormal growth of damaged cells. DNA controls cell growth, development and replication. When the DNA gets damaged, it can replicate an altered (damaged) cell – and when this altered cell replicates itself.... This can become CANCER. Click here to read more about DNA and GLUTATHIONE.

Please Take Note: Symptoms alert YOU that something isn't right in your Body but they are not the Cause of Illness or Disease.

So How can we prevent Cancer?

Since healthy DNA is needed to prevent replication of mutated cells, we need to protect it from free radicals by the aid of Antioxidants.

Antioxidant Neutralizes Free Radical

Antioxidants have “extra” electrons that they can give to free radicals. By doing that, it eliminates its harmful effect. Antioxidants are the body’s defense against destructive free radicals which causes aging, sickness and disease.

What Type of Antioxidant Do We Need???

Exogenous Antioxidant and Cancer

If we will take Exogenous Antioxidant like the famous Vitamin C and Vitamin E, we are protecting our cells from being damaged, but it can not repair or restore damaged cells. It only shields our body from incoming free radicals, in doing so, our body will have the needed time to heal itself that it can do IF we have adequate levels of Glutathione inside our cells. In other words, exogenous antioxidant has no ability to neutralize or stop mutated cells to grow erraticaly, our body does it with the aid of master antioxidant Glutathione. We should also consider the fact that people with Cancer have low levels of Glutathione, because of this, important exogenous antioxidants like Vitamin C and Vitamin E can not do their job adequately to protect our body against disease.

Endogenous Antioxidant Glutathione GSH and Cancer

Glutathione GSH plays a very important role in DNA repair. Healthy DNA is essential to prevent mutated cells from replicating itself which will lead to Cancer.

It is a proven fact that if you have cancer, you have low levels of Glutathione GSH. However as of now,  there's no documented scientific evidence that raising Glutathione levels can make us overcome Cancer if you already have one, research and clinical trials are still ongoing . But we already have witnessed several miracles, of patients with terminal cancer that survived by taking large dose of Glutathione. Some are claiming it as Placebo only but the important thing is, they continue to live.

What Science have proven is that when you have high levels of glutathione gsh, you will be protected from free radical damage, all other Antioxidants like Vitamin C and Vitamin E can do their job efficiently, your vital organs will function better and you will have better functioning immune system. Generally speaking, having high levels of Glutathione GSH means having a healthier body.
