Aspirin can act like an immunotherapy

Integrative Cancer Treatment

A new research study has shown that taking a small (75
mg) aspirin could significantly increase the abilities of your
cancer treatment programme. It seems to stop the cancer
cells producing a chemical which normally blocks any
attack by the immune system. It could be the cheapest
form of effective immunotherapy known to man! said
Chris Woollams.
Lets get it straight. We have long told you that a daily
small aspirin is an important part of an Integrative
Cancer Treatment (and prevention) Programme. Small
is 75 mg in the UK; 81 in the USA.
Since John Vane won a Nobel Prize in 1982, we have
known that aspirin can reduce the effect of an enzyme
called Cox-2. When stimulated (typically by insulin,
cortisol and even steroids) Vane showed that all the cells in
your body were capable of making highly inflammatory
hormones called eicosanoids. Yale Researchers have even
shown this inflammation can affect two cancer-causing
genes. Thus eating one big sugar-rich meal a day, and/or
being stressed causes Cox-2 to make your cells inflamed.
We have also covered research from the Radcliffe Hospital
and Oxford University showing that taking a small, daily
aspirin could help prevent bladder cancer risk factors and,
if you already have it, could increase survival significantly
and even stop metastases. The researchers asked NICE to
include aspirin as standard protocol in UK cancer
treatment.
The new research led by Professor Caetano Reis e Sousa,
from the Francis Crick Institute in London showed that
aspirin could stop the cancers ability to hide from the
immune system in mice. There is a growing body of
evidence that some cancers produce a molecule called
PGE2, (Prostaglandin E2, an eicosanoid) to block an
attack by the immune system. Aspirin stops this molecule
being produced. Therefore it stops cancer cells hiding from
the immune system.
Clearly, more work is needed on humans, but given the
small price of a little aspirin and its known anti-
inflammatory action anyway, this really is a no-brainer for
inclusion as part of an integrative programme. People must
be careful if they have heart or blood problems, and the
aspirin should always be taken with food to avoid the risk of
stomach ulcers. Arguably, you can take the aspirin even if
you are not having orthodox treatments at the time.

maintain overall health. Everyone can do to prevent and
control health problems such as Choronic illness,
prevention of chronic disease, heart disease, Autistic, high
blood pressure, diabetes and Integrative cancer. For more
