Vitamin A Produces Astonishing Leukemia Cure Rate, Even Without Chemotherapy

New research conducted at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center shows that vitamin A cures as many as 33% of patients with a rare form of leukemia -- without using chemotherapy. In the study, the vitamin A was being delivered inside "bubbles of fat" to enhance bioavailability. Out of 34 patients participating in the trial, an astonishing 10 remained cancer-free after five years, despite receiving no chemotherapy.

So what's the real story here? Researchers are calling this form of vitamin A a "drug," which seems odd, since it's just vitamin A. Perhaps they don't want to admit that a vitamin is better than chemotherapy for curing cancer. And this is definitely a cure -- that term is even being used by the researchers here. To take a group of cancer patients and watch them remain cancer-free for five years is nothing short of astonishing, especially since they were only taking one vitamin. Imagine how well they'd do if they also consumed chlorella (a strong anti-cancer superfood), spirulina (another superfood containing phytochemicals known to destroy breast cancer tumors), graviola (an Amazonian herb known for its powerful ability to destroy cancer cells), licorice root (a more popular anti-cancer herb) and other health-promoting foods and supplements. With the help of this collection of health-promoting substances, the cure rate could have easily risen to 75% or more.

Still, that's just a guess. Organized medicine isn't really interested in studying things that don't generate profits, and herbs and superfoods certainly fall into that category. But it is exciting to see vitamin A having such a dramatic, positive impact on patients with leukemia who might otherwise be subjected to chemotherapy. And perhaps someday these researchers will have the courage to admit that it's a vitamin, not a drug, that's working the healing magic here.

Overview:
A biological agent --- a drug that wraps vitamin A inside bubbles of fat --- used without chemotherapy appears to offer as many as one-third of patients with a rare form of leukemia an opportunity for a long-term, disease-free future, say researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.

Researchers say the findings, presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, provide the proof that biologic drugs can work in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), and opens the door to development of such agents for more common forms of leukemia.
"This is the first time we have seen patients with an acute leukemia potentially cured without use of chemotherapy," says the study principal investigator, Elihu Estey, MD, a professor in the Department of Leukemia.

PHILLIP DAY'S COMMENT: Vitamin A and E, in their emulsified form, have been used by clinics all over the world for many years as part of the nutritional protocol for cancer. In my book Cancer: Why We're Still Dying to Know the Truth, we examine this regime and give full details of nutritional and dietary changes that need to be made.
