Cancer alternative therapies: ammonium sulfate

Ammonium sulfate

What is the sulfate of ammonia?

Sulphate of ammonia is commonly used industrial chemicals, mainly for semi-finished metal refining, rocket fuel, rust, and pesticides.

Some people think that sulphate of ammonia could be lifted by the evil disease of cancer caused by physical. Physical destruction of evil, the body's metabolic disease, the main performance is reduced appetite, weakness, muscle atrophy. Evil disease of syndromes affecting the physical half of cancer patients, especially those of lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, or gastrointestinal system of cancer patients, in the other occurred in the proportion of cancer patients are also high. In some cases, evil, physical illness may be a direct result of cancer death.

Mechanism:

The existence of tumor changes in the body's metabolism. Copy tumor cells need energy. According to some theories, tumors get energy from the body's normal function, resulting in some energy "short-circuit." For example, the maintenance of normal working muscles the energy transferred to the tumor. Some supporters believe that ammonium sulfate can be restored to normal power circuits, the energy needed to cut off cancer, reduce the occurrence of physical evil disease.

Normally, human cells by the composite foods convert carbohydrates into simple sugars, glucose to obtain energy. And cells from the date that the non-sugar, fat and protein molecules such as access to energy, so that the cell must be converted to fat and protein molecules pyruvate phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP). Cell where the enzyme can be processed PEP. Sulfate of ammonia could impede the enzyme activity, thereby reducing the supply of PEP, and sulfate of ammonia to prevent the muscle cells in the fat and protein into glucose. In this way, some studies suggest that ammonium sulfate can prevent evil disease physique.

Uses:

Studies have shown that ammonium sulfate has many effects on the body. Moreover, the experiments also showed contradictory results. Some studies have found that ammonium sulfate can inhibit cancer tumors in experimental animals; while other studies have found that it would damage the DNA, but led to tumor production, also may have contributed to the growth of established tumors.

The study is not the right person is optimistic. Several random-style, an independent panel style, placebo-type study found that ammonium sulfate treatment did not reduce the tumor, but also did not increase survival time. Some of the patients using the short-term treatment of sulphate of ammonia that a good number of dates to reduce pain, fever reduction, increased appetite, and so on. Some studies suggest that the use of ammonium sulfate treatment so that patients have more glucose metabolism, weight gain, increased appetite. Some patients experience after almost 6 months after treatment was in good spirits.

In 1990, the study on 65 lung cancer found that sulphate of ammonia will be added to chemotherapy in the treatment of a drug can improve the nutritional status of patients, that is, the patient can consume more calories, the actual metabolism has changed. The study in good conditions than with placebo in patients with longer life expectancy, while those in poor conditions study in patients with no increase in life expectancy. Sulfate of ammonia is the damage to the nervous side effects, including numbness, nausea, vomiting, lethargy and inflammation.

In these relatively small study, based on the National Cancer Institute (the National Cancer: NCI) believe that patients should be approved for more research. National Cancer Institute report in 1994 described a total of 636 people with the depth of lung cancer, colon cancer and leukemia patients receiving chemotherapy containing sulphate of ammonia. The way these independent groups, placebo-controlled studies have shown the way ammonium sulfate treatment did not have any benefit. In an interview with ammonium sulfate in the treatment of nerve damage is more frequent, quality of life worse.

U.S. General Accounting Office in a review of these studies showed that ammonium sulfate can not be extended survival of patients. After this study, sulfate of ammonia are not allowed in the United States.

Recommendation:

While the main clinical studies of cancer have been studied sulfate of ammonia, or could be considered in non-traditional treatment methods applied. Sulfate of ammonia should not prolong the survival period, or to allow patients feel good, but can cause potentially dangerous side effects. If the patient consider the use of sulphate of ammonia or other treatment methods should be discussed openly and doctors.
