“Can We Cure Aging?

Controlling inflammation could be the key to a healthy old age.”

“Aging is not the simple result of the passage of time. According to a provocative new view, it is actually something our own bodies create, a side effect of the essential inflammatory system that protects us against infectious disease.”

“Inflammaging”There is growing evidence that the immune system is implicated in virtually all of these age related illnesses, with the inflammatory response being the triggering mechanism that leads to age-related tissue damage.

Indeed, the term “inflammaging” has been coined to describe the underlying inflammatory changes common to most age-related diseases.

THE PURPOSE OF DIGESTION

We eat living food, wherein chewing and enzymes break down nutrients into amino acids, simple sugars and oils which are absorbable and bioavailable.

Out of these foods, DNA and RNA particles are made bio-available.

Whole, crushed, cold-pressed, organic, non-GMP seed oils deliver the bioavailable DNA, RNA fragments and serve as a transport mechanism.

These RNA nutrient messages tell the DNA in every cell what to do, how to adapt and what to express genetically.

This allows your genes to be optimized and refurbished “buffed up”.

The food richest in genetic spare parts is… the SEED !

“Inflammation seems to underlie not just senescence but all the chronic illnesses that often come along with it: diabetes, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer’s, heart attack.”

“Inflammatory factors predict virtually all bad outcomes in humans. It predicts having heart attacks, having heart failure, becoming diabetic; predicts becoming fragile in old age; predicts cognitive function decline, even cancer to a certain extent.”

The idea that chronic diseases might be

caused by persistent inflammation has been kicking around since the 19th century.

Only in the past few years, though, have modern biochemistry and the emerging field of systems biology made it possible to grasp the convoluted chemical interactions involved in body-wide responses

like inflammation.

Inflammation and Alzheimer's diseaseAkiyama H, Barger S, Neurobiol Aging. 2000 May-Jun;21(3):383-421. 

 Inflammation clearly occurs in pathologically vulnerable regions of the Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain, and it does so with the full complexity of local peripheral inflammatory responses. In the periphery, degenerating tissue and the deposition of highly insoluble abnormal materials are classical stimulants of inflammation.   By better understanding AD inflammatory and immuno-regulatory processes, it should be

possible to develop anti-inflammatory approaches that may not cure AD but will likely help slow the progression or delay the onset of this devastating disorder.

Schizophrenia as an inflammation-mediated dysbalance of glutamatergic neurotransmission.

The only endogenous NMDA receptor antagonist identified up to now is kynurenic acid (KYNA). Despite the NMDA receptor antagonism, KYNA also blocks, in lower doses, the nicotinergic acetycholine receptor, i.e., increased KYNA levels can explain psychotic symptoms and cognitive deterioration. KYNA levels are described to be higher in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and in critical central nervous system (CNS) regions of schizophrenics as compared to controls…Therapeutic consequences, e.g., the use of

anti-inflammatory cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitors, which can also decrease KYNA directly, are discussed. SOURCE Norbert Müller Neurotoxicity Research June 2006, Volume 10, Issue 2, pp 131-148

“So Depression is an Inflammatory Disease, but where does the inflammation come from?”  

 We now know that depression is associated with a chronic, low-grade inflammatory response and activation of cell-mediated immunity, as well as activation of the compensatory anti-inflammatory reflex system.  The identification of known sources of inflammation provides support for inflammation as a mediating pathway to both risk and neuroprogression in depression…Most, but not all, of the above mentioned sources of

inflammation may play a role in other psychiatric disorders, such as 1) bipolar disorder, 2) schizophrenia, 3) autism and 4) post-traumatic stress disorder.

Blocking PGE2-induced Tumour Repopulation abrogates Bladder Cancer chemoresistance.

NATURE December 3, 2014

“Previous studies have demonstrated that cancer STEM cells are selectively enriched after chemotherapy through enhanced survival….

Further analyses demonstrate the recruitment of the quiescent label-retaining pool of cancer STEM cells into cell division in response to chemotherapy-induced damages, similar to mobilization of normal stem cells during wound repair.”

Page 39: The Revitalizing & Regenerative  Power of Crushed Whole Seed Nutrition

Alternative Health Advocates © 2015 - www.eattheseeds.com

“While chemotherapy effectively induces apoptosis, associated prostaglandin E-2 (PGE2) release paradoxically promotes neighboring cancer STEM cell repopulation….

This repopulation can be abrogated by a PGE2 neutralizing antibody and celecoxib drug-mediated blockade of PGE2 signaling.

In vivo administration of the cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor celecoxib effectively abolishes a PGE2 and COX2-mediated wound response gene signature, and attenuates progressive manifestation of chemo resistance…”

What is a Tumor?

A tumor, benign or malignant, is a proliferation of cells of which, in the case of a malignant cancer, less than 1% of which are

dangerous.

Page 44: The Revitalizing & Regenerative  Power of Crushed Whole Seed Nutrition

Alternative Health Advocates © 2015 - www.eattheseeds.com

The problem is 0.1% of the Tumor!

99.1% - 99.6% of the tumor cells are NOT dangerous (aside from steric, obstructive factors).

“Similarly, usually less than 1% of primary tumor cells cultured in vitro can

give rise to colonies.” Diehn, M Therapeutic Implications of the Cancer Stem Cell Hypothesis

Semin Radiat Oncol. 2009 April; 19(2): 78–86.

Page 45: The Revitalizing & Regenerative  Power of Crushed Whole Seed Nutrition

Alternative Health Advocates © 2015 - www.eattheseeds.com

What metastasizes?

Cancer STEM cells!

“… tumor cells are heterogeneous in their capacity to give rise to tumors upon transplantation or to form colonies in culture

assays. For in vivo tumor transplantation, this is reflected in the large numbers of tumor cells that must usually be transplanted to

form a tumor. For primary human and mouse tumors, this number often resides in the thousands or millions. (ibid Diehn et al)

Page 46: The Revitalizing & Regenerative  Power of Crushed Whole Seed Nutrition

Alternative Health Advocates © 2015 - www.eattheseeds.com

Only cancer STEM cells metastasize!

“Considerable evidence suggests that tumors contain only a minority of cells which are capable of

regrowing the tumor (ie. tumor stem cells). Since all tumor stem cells must be killed if treatment is to be

successful, the number of stem cells in a tumor can be expected to be an important determinant of curability.” Hill RP The proportion of stem cells in murine tumors. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol

Cancer STEM cells are resistant to chemotherapy

“The apparent similarities between normal stem cells and CSC led to the hypothesis that CSC may be relatively resistant to common chemotherapeutic agents compared to their more

differentiated non-tumorigenic counterparts and that improvements in patient outcomes might be achieved by directly targeting CSC. Mounting evidence suggests that this is the case. Recent studies have shown that “cancer stem cell-like cells”

present in some established cell lines and in long-term xenografts appear to be relatively resistant to cytotoxic

chemotherapeutics.” (ibid Diehn et al)

Page 49: The Revitalizing & Regenerative  Power of Crushed Whole Seed Nutrition

Alternative Health Advocates © 2015 - www.eattheseeds.com

and Cancer Stem Cells are resistant to Radiation Therapy also

“Thus, CSC in some tumors appear to be resistant to cytotoxic chemotherapies. As is discussed elsewhere in

this issue, CSC in some tumors also appear to be resistant to radiotherapy. These findings suggest the overcoming CSC resistance mechanisms to cytotoxic therapies may result in higher cure rates.” (ibid Diehn et al)

Alternative Health Advocates © 2015 - www.eattheseeds.com

Chemotherapy increases Cancer Stem Cell proliferation

Since it remains to be determined how representative such “cancer stem cell-like” cells are of CSC in primary

tumors, another group analyzed human CD44+ESA+ colon cancer stem cells … were enriched in

xenografts that had been treated with cyclophosphamide compared to untreated control

tumors. (ibid Diehn et al)

Thymoquinone: potential cure for inflammatory disorders and cancer.

Abstract Source:Biochem Pharmacol. 2012 Feb 15 ;83(4):443-51. Epub 2011 Oct 10. PMID: 22005518 Abstract Author(s):Chern Chiuh Woo

Thymoquinone is an active ingredient isolated from Nigella sativa and has been investigated for its anti-

oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities in both in vitro and in vivo models since its first extraction in 1960s.

Its anti-oxidant/anti-inflammatory effect has been reported in various disease models, including encephalomyelitis, diabetes, asthma and carcinogenesis.

The anticancer effect(s) of thymoquinone are mediated through different modes of action, including anti-proliferation, apoptosis induction, cell cycle arrest, ROS generation and

anti-metastasis/anti-angiogenesis. In addition, this quinone was found to exhibit anticancer activity through the modulation of multiple molecular targets, including p53, p73, PTEN, STAT3, PPAR-1, activation of caspases and

generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

The anti-tumor effects of thymoquinone have also been investigated in tumor xenograft mice models for colon, prostate, pancreatic and lung cancer.

The combination of thymoquinone and conventional chemotherapeutic drugs could produce greater therapeutic

effect as well as reduce the toxicity of the latter.

In this review, we summarize the anti-oxidant/anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects of thymoquinone with a focus on its molecular targets, and its possible role in the treatment of

inflammatory diseases and cancer.

Precautions to Slow Down Oxidation of Seed Oils

Air, heat and light speed up oxidation. Here are some tips for slowing it down.

■Buy oil bottles from the back of the market shelves where it's darker.■Choose oils packed in tinted glass containers, or wrap clear bottles in foil.■Check expiration dates carefully. Since most shelf-stable trans fats have been replaced with healthier but more oxidation-prone fats, don't expect processed foods to last as long as they used to.

■Stop eating deep-fried foods and don't reuse spent cooking oil.■Store cooking oil, whole-grain flours and nuts in dry, cool, dark places.■Choose oils packed in tinted glass containers, or wrap clear bottles in foil.■Re-cap oils right after pouring and refrigerate■Stop eating deep-fried foods and don't reuse spent cooking oil.

■ BEST to buy organic non-GMO, whole, raw unsalted seeds nuts (naturally rich in oils)Then freeze them and grind a portion of frozen seed/nut every day!
