Despite this, his doctor still told him to watch and Macular Degeneration and more wait. He is now on Angiostop, Myomin, etc. Angiostop is a sea cucumber extract shown to be a natural It is important to note that for any type of invasive angiogenesis and RTK inhibitor. It inhibits 4 different RTKs – procedure, in this case it was a biopsy, an angiogenesis VEGFR, EGFR, PDGFR and FGFR – which makes it a more inhibitor like Angiostop is always recommended to avoid effective cancer therapy than single-target agents. By recurrence. Research has shown that cancer recurrence rate blocking all 4 RTKs, it can effectively suppress angiogenesis, increase after surgery. In one study, among 1,173 breast invasion, metastasis and other cancer processes. cancer patients treated with surgery, 520 had a relapse. This led researchers to suggest that an angiogenesis inhibitor Angiostop is safe to take with conventional cancer therapies before and after surgery may minimize recurrence. Similarly, like chemotherapy or radiation. Physicians often warn cancer relapse has also been noted after lung and colon cancer patients not to use antioxidants when on cancer surgery (Sources: Intl J Surg. 2005;3(3):179-87. chemotherapy.

There are three factors associated with colon polyps: Autocin reduces pain associated with arthritis by targeting constipation, excess bile from liver and excess estrogen. the central nervous system in the brain, not the spinal cord. Its effect on pain therefore does not involve morphine The following protocol is recommended for colon polyps: receptors so there is no sedative effect. It does have a CFC to help with constipation and bowel regularity; synergistic effect with morphine and codeine. LIVER CHI and DEBILE to reduce excess bile from the liver; and MYOMIN to correct excess estrogen. Autoimmune conditions like RA and psoriasis have a predominance of Th1 cytokines, such as IL-1 and TNF-alpha, Aug 2012 – A. Sayler, CN from FL, has a 50 y/o/f patient who which induce . Autocin inhibits these cytokines, had gallbladder pain due to gallstones which caused 100% reducing inflammation and the corresponding symptoms. blockage in her bile duct. With Debile and Liver Chi, her According to one study in rats with adjuvant arthritis, stones cleared and her gallbladder pain was relieved. Autocin (dose is 50 and 100 mg/kg) significantly decreased IL-1, PGE2 and TNF-alpha after 14 to 21 days (Source: Int AUTOCIN for Psoriasis, Rheumatoid Immunopharmacol. 2005; 5(10): 1560-73).

It may be combined with for active stage autoimmune conditions. AUTOCIN Recovers Joint Function of RA Patients

One of Autocin’s mechanisms is to modulate T helper cells 1 In a clinical study on RA patients, Autocin was found to be (Th1) and T helper cells 2 (Th2) cytokines to reduce beneficial in recovering joint function. At the start of the inflammation. Its Th1 mechanism involves inhibiting the study, only 19.54% were classified under Stage I RA (mild RA) overproduction of IL-1 and TNF-alpha. Its Th2 mechanism while most of the patients (68.97%) were categorized as involves reducing IL-4 overexpression in eczema. Autocin Stage II RA (moderate RA). After 48 days, Autocin produced also inhibits the inflammatory factors, leukotriene B4 and 100% improvement of joint function in Stage II, and III RA prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), as well as abnormal cell patients (Source: Chinese Journal of Rheumatology. 2005; proliferation by reducing the production of VEGF, bFGF, 9(8): 487-91).
