Nobel Prize‐winner‐supported research paves the way to preventive health care
Our modern understanding of the cellular basis of cancer involves natural compounds that can correct and regulate biological processes in cancer cells without damaging healthy cells. One key target is the natural blocking of the very mech anism that all cancer cells use to spread in the body.
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths globally in 2020. The cancer pandemic is still in creasing, with the most frequent organs of origin being breast, lung, colon and prostate.
While cancer can be caused by many factors, its growth and spread in the body involves disease mechanisms common to all types of cancer. The expansion of tumor cells into the surrounding tissue (invasion), as well as their meta static spread, requires the diges tion of connective tissue.
In healthy tissues, the replacement of old cells by the growth of new ones is precisely regulated. Thus, the total number of cells in our body and organs remains essen tially unchanged. In cancer, this tight regulation is lost. Mutations in the DNA software of a cell turns this cell immortal and leads to its incessant multiplication, forming tumors.
Cancer cells then invade neighbor ing body tissue and – via the blood and lymphatic system – eventually spread to other parts of the body, a process called metastasis. Most cancer patients do not die from primary tumors, but rather during the metastatic stage of the dis ease. Thus, inhibiting the spread of cancer cells is a primary target towards cancer control.

Composition and method for treatment of neoplastic diseases associated with elev ated matrix metallopro teinase activities using catechin compounds Inventors: Shiran Netke, Vadim Ivanov, Wahid M. Roomi, Aleksandra Niedzwiecki, Matthias Rath, Vadim Ivanov Publishing date: September 6, 2005
Conventional medicine is largely confined to treating the symptoms of cancer. These treatments usually include surgical removal of tumors followed by an attempt to kill migrating cancer cells using ra diation (radiotherapy) and/or toxic chemicals (chemotherapy). Both these methods kill not only cancer cells, but also healthy cells, in par ticular the rapidly dividing immune cells. These extremely toxic treat ments can cause organ damage, im pair immune defense, and trigger new cancers. These conventional therapies do not address the cellular malfunc tions underlying the cancer pro cess. These crude conventional cancer therapies are the primary reason why – after more than a century of pharmaceutical re search – cancer continues in pan demic proportions.
Thus, all cancer cells produce bio logical scissors (enzymes) that pave the way for cancer cells to migrate through the body. The more of these enzymes a cancer cell pro duces, the more aggressive (ma lignant) is the cancer, and the shorter is the life expectancy of the patient.
A micronutrient combination ‘for use in treating a neo plastic disease in a human’. tified key cancer mechanisms that can be simultaneously inhibited at the cellular level by these micro nutrients, including: 1. Inhibiting the multiplication of cancer cells.

2. Inhibiting tumor growth. 3. Inhibiting invasive and meta static spread of tumor cells. 4. Inhibiting the excessive growth of new blood vessels that supply blood to the growing tumor (an giogenesis). 5. Inducing the selective death of cancer cells, while leaving healthy cells unaffected, by in ducing a ‘suicide program’ inside cancer cells (apoptosis).

Cellular control of the cancer process naturally, supported by a patent At the Dr. Rath Research Institute, we tested a multitude of micro nutrients and their combinations for their efficacy in helping to block various aspects of cancer cell growth and spread. This compre hensive research resulted in the first patented ‘method for treat ment of neoplastic diseases’, based entirely on natural com pounds. The term ‘neoplastic dis eases’ is a technical term for cancer used in patents. The efficacy of this natural health technology was confirmed in more than 55 types of human cancer cells. Moreover, our research iden
This unique combination of micro nutrients was able to inhibit all key biological processes related to the development and spread of cancer cells — naturally and with out side effects.
