The Role of Glutathione in Cancer Prevention and Treatment

Glutathione plays an active role in cancer prevention and treatment. Dr Montaigner, an expert on the negative medical effects of oxidative stress, in his book[i], discusses the various medical benefits of GSH, in cancers, AIDS and neurodegenerative diseases.

On Chapter 42 of Dr. Montaigner’s book, dietary whey protein, a proven source of GSH was reported to prevent the initiation of cancer[ii] as well as prevent tumor progression[iii].

Glutathione

Dr. Luc Montagnier was the winner of the 2008 Nobel
Prize in Medicine for his co-discovery of the HIV virus with Francoise Barre-Sinoussi in 1983. He is also the
co-founder of the World Foundation for AIDS Research and Prevention. Dr Bounous summarized this paper by stating that the antitumor effect of this dietary whey protein may be due to the increased GSH levels in normal cells[iv],[v].

Clinical studies by Dr Tozer documented that dietary whey protein, patients with cancer of the lungs had a mean increase of 2.5% body weight while casein-treated patients lost 2.6% (P=0.049) [vi]. Also noted was an increase in survival, hand grip force and quality of life[vii].

Increase in body weight in children with cancer treated with this dietary whey protein, was also reported by Paul et al.[viii]

Dr Kelly reported that in preliminary studies, antioxidant status may affect chemotherapy tolerance in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia[ix].

This dietary whey protein, a proven source of GSH, may help to reduce gastrointestinal toxicities of chemotherapy and radiation[x]

Dr Tsai studied a potential anticancer drug, called baicalein, reporting that a dietary whey protein enhanced the cytotoxicity of baicalein by inducing more cancer cell death[xi].

Kennedy in 1995 documented that this dietary whey protein, made cancer cells more vulnerable to chemotherapy[xii].

In his research paper, Dr Baruchel reported that dietary whey protein concentrate inhibited the growth of breast cancer cells[xiii].

Papenburgh and his colleagues documented that this dietary whey protein, inhibited the development as well as the progression of cancer cells[xiv] in urogenital cancers[xv], in prostate cancer by Dr Bounous[xvi].

This dietary whey protein is a clinically proven efficacious source of GSH. Other info on it is listed here[xvii]. This natural supplement is antiviral which may be related to its glutathione promoting activity[xviii].

A Method-of-Use Patent means that a product is guaranteed to do what it claims to do. The Weigh Protein Concentrate has a special patent issued by the US Patent Office entitled “Anti-cancer therapeutic compositions containing whey protein concentrate”[xix]
