I came across some interesting articles during the past week regarding things we ingest or can ingest and the results that ensue. And so that’s what I’m going to write about today.
Antabuse stops cancer tumor growth. They had an idea that it might, but until recently didn’t know why. Back in 1977, a woman was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was a serious alcoholic and was given Antabuse (Disulfiram) to treat that prior to getting cancer treatment. Antabuse works by knocking out an enzyme produced by your liver that gets rid of alcohol. That causes alcohol to remain in your bloodstream. When that happens, even small amounts will make you feel sick. So, if you drink alcohol you get sick. The women didn’t get treatment for cancer in the end. Unfortunately, she died from falling out of a window. The autopsy showed she was cancer free. Research being done in five countries resulted in now knowing what’s going on here. Antabuse “freezes tumor growth.”
Well, if they ever start marketing Antabus for cancer suppression, you know the price will go up 7000%, right?
When the drug is metabolized it causes the protein, NPL4, to clump together with the enzyme p97, immobilizing the protein. This “freezes” the cancer cells and prevents them from disposing of unnecessary proteins. The build-up stresses the cancer cells and eventually causes them to die, Science Mag reported.
Results were even more pronounced when the drug was combined with copper, and the drug did not discriminate when it came to what type of cancer cells it killed. In the study it was just as helpful in killing prostate, breast and colon cancer. In addition, only cancer cells are affected by Antabuse while normal cells seem to be unharmed. The reason for this is unclear.

Canola oil can increase the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s Disease...and makes you fat.
When I was decades younger, I used canola oil when I made stir fry things in my wok. After a while, I decided it wasn’t such a good oil to use, even though it was cheap and being sold as being very healthy. My personal reason for not using it was due to how it’s grown and produced. My go-to oils when cooking are olive oil, avocado oil, and peanut oil. I am fortunate in that olives are grown in abundance all around where I live. The choices I have in olive oils is tremendous. I always buy locally grown organic olive oil. Different olives give different flavors.
Now a new study has revealed that consumption of canola oil could be linked to worsening of memory functions and learning ability in patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
This is the first study that shows that consumption of canola oil is not a beneficial choice for the brain. Senior study investigator Professor Domenico Praticò, Professor in the Departments of Pharmacology and Microbiology and director of the Alzheimer's Center at Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (LKSOM) in Philadelphia, explained.
It was seen that canola oil consumption increased body weight significantly over normal diet. Working memory and learning abilities also were reduced in the canola oil group.

Ibuprofen works better when combined with curcumin (turmeric). This makes perfect sense to me. Turmeric is used in Chinese medicine in combination with other herbs for arthritis and other painful things. It works better when some black pepper is combined with it. You can buy “enhanced turmeric” which will cost you quite a bit more than plain turmeric. Don’t do that. Just add some regular old black pepper to your turmeric to boost its anti-inflammatory abilities.
Another reason to use turmeric along with ibuprofen is it protects your stomach from ibuprofen for those who are prone to that. It’s also best to take ibuprofen with a big glass of water as ibuprofen can be a bit of a challenge for those with compromised kidneys. For most of us, taking ibuprofen for a while to combat inflammation is just fine. Problems arise for those that take it every day for months and months on end.

OK, one last thing. I’m fascinated by “space the final frontier.” Here’s a nice youtube video of where our Milky Way Galaxy is within the Laniakea supercluster within the Universe.
