DEATH OF A CANCER CELL ARTICLE
When dealing with a situation as serious as cancer, the
immune system is vitally important. It makes sense
to get all the help possible to destroy the diseased
cells. The immune system is quite capable of doing
this when properly supported. Transfer Factor Plus
has been proven to do this safely.
Most cancers are named for the part of the body where the
cancer begins. For example, cancer that starts in
the breast tissue is called breast cancer. Prostate cancer
gets its name from the prostate gland. The same is
true for skin cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, bone
cancer, cervical cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer,
bladder cancer, uterine cancer and so on. These
cancer cells all have the same thing in common. They
all affect cells, our body's basic unit of life.
Fortunately it makes no difference to the immune system
what the cancer is called or where it originated.
Cells that continually being produced as a normal process
of life. Occasionally a mutated cell is produced.
Under normal conditions this mutated cell is destroyed by
the immune system before any harm is done.
However, if the immune system is not operating at peak
efficiency, then these types of cells get by. If
left unchecked they can multiply until a problem such as
cancer arises.
With the immune system operating at peak efficiency, it
should be able to seek and destroy any undesirable cell
anywhere in the body. It simply does not matter to
the immune system where it is or what it is called.
If it is not supposed to be there, it will attack and
destroy it.
The cancer cells are attacked by the Natural Killer (NK)
Cells of the immune system. The tentacles of the
cancer cell. The main function of these cells is to
kill damaged or infected cells. NK cells target any
cell that is missing the "self" markers.
The NK cells attach and destroy these cells and spare
normal cells that have high levels of "self"
markers. The killing process begins when the NK cell
binds to the target cell and releases it's lethal burst of
chemicals that produce holes in the target cell membrane.
Fluids and salts seep in and the target cell eventually
bursts.
The cancer cell will be completely flattened and destroyed
by the NK Cells when they have accomplished their mission.
Scientists have known for a long time the remarkable
ability of the immune system to defend the body against
all kinds of infections and diseases. They have
always dreamed of a way to bolster the immune system in a
way that it could fight cancer cells more effectively.
Such an approach is known as immunotherapy. Most of
these approaches include natural substances that boost the
ability of the immune system to destroy infected and
diseased cells.
Immunotherapy promises to be a more natural way to address
cancers than radiation and chemotherapy. By using the
phenomenal recognition ability of the immune system, it
gives a better way to target and treat cancers. If
used in conjunction with the traditional methods, it
offers a way to get the immune system involved, and also
helps with the immune problems often associated with these
methods.
