Looking for information about Natural Remedies, Herbal Treatments, Holistic Cures, and Alternative Medicines for Cancer Prevention - Amino Acids?
Check out the resources below:

• Glutathione (200 grams), functions in the body as an antioxidant and helps destroy free radicals and the toxicity remaining if you already have received radiation treatments and chemotherapy. Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, especially) increases the body's own production of glutathione peroxidase (GSH).

• Cysteine (N-acetylcysteine) (1-2 grams) is an amino acid which enters into various detoxification systems in the body, helps bolster glutathione peroxidase activity, and can be converted in the body to glutathione, which may become GSH, a potent broad spectrum anti-oxidant enzyme system. Cysteine supplementation promote glutathione synthesis.

• Although safe up to 10 g, the nauseating taste and smell of cysteine can cause vomiting.

• Several studies confirm that arginine reduces tumors and tumor formation. It increases T-cell function, stimulates the thymus and thyroid, and enhances activity of killer cells, as well as interleukin-2 receptors and general immune improvements.

• At therapeutic levels (above 5 g) of arginine, growth of certain viruses may be activated.

• Methionine reduces the uptake of mercury, which is a cancer-causing agent.

• Malnourished cancer patients improve when branched chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) are given. Protein and albumin synthesis are heightened.
