"Anderson Cancer Center at the university of texas. Herbal chemoprevention, the use of select herbs and nutrients to prevent the growth of cancer, is also being studied by Dr. Robert A. Newman, Ph.D. Dr. Newman holds a contract with the National Cancer Institute to perform assays, determine any toxicity, and assess the pharmacokinetics (the absorption, distribution through the body, and elimination from the body) of substances with promise as cancer drugs." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "In a study done by the university of texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center more than 72 percent of the participants found the results of the tea to be "very good" to "excellent," and 44.1 percent of patients were found to have no evidence of cancer at their last check-up, with another 14 percent showing regression of their cancer.

The researchers concluded, "The tonic is widely distributed." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "Anderson Cancer Center at the university of texas. The herbal formula appears to be particularly well suited for use against the leading types of cancer killers, including breast, prostate, lung and colon cancers (particularly in so-called terminal cases and as a support to the immune system during chemotherapy and radiation treatments). What makes the results for Flor-Essence so remarkable is that so many people come to this tonic as a last resort. They're expecting to die. And many live." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"In two related 2006 studies, researchers at the university of texas Southwestern Medical Center recently found defective genes in mice that contribute to triggering lupus. One of the two studies determined that a defective version of a gene known as Lyl08 rendered mice susceptible to lupus. The defective version of the gene impairs one of the most basic steps in the development of immune-system cells. When it is functioning normally, the body destroys any immune-system cells that, by mistake, have started to produce antibodies against the body." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"In 1972, as the director of the Institute for Biomedical Research at the university of texas at Austin, his investigations led to the discovery of CoQIO deficiency in heart disease. This original research inspired numerous other studies showing major therapeutic benefits for supplemented heart patients. For his years of outstanding research, Folkers was honored with the Presidential Science Award by President George H. W. Bush in 1990. Multiple studies have confirmed widespread CoQIO deficiency among CVD patients." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"A study out of the university of texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston treated three melanoma cell lines with curcumin. Cell growth was inhibited and increased tumor cell death was observed. BREAST CANCER: Researchers found that curcumin inhibited metastasis to the lungs of mice with breast cancer. The researchers also found that curcumin helps make taxol, a chemotherapeutic drug for breast cancer, less toxic and even more effective. Rats given large doses of turmeric each day over a five-day period had significant inhibition of breast tumors." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"Another of the early interesting experiments was carried out in the early 1920s by Elmer Lund, a researcher at the university of texas, on hydras, the tiny aquatic animal possessing up to twelve heads capable of regenerating. Lund (and later others) found that he could control regeneration by applying tiny currents through the hydra's body. By using a current strong enough to override the organism's own electrical force, Lund could cause a head to form where a tail should be. In later studies in the 1950s, G. Marsh and H. W." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"A six-year study conducted by scientists at the university of texas found that people being treated for congestive heart failure who took coenzyme Qio in addition to conventional therapy had a 75 percent chance of survival after three years, compared with a 25 percent survival rate for those using conventional therapy alone.

"Howard Brody, a primary care physician at the university of texas Medical Branch, in Galveston, recalls a tragic case of a young woman who put her faith in the Pap test: One of the saddest cases I ever took care of was a woman in her late thirties who died of cervical cancer. She'd had an abnormal Pap smear four or five years earlier. A [biopsy] found some abnormal cells. Everybody thought we'd gotten it all. She had a normal Pap smear every year after that, year in, year out." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "Elder abuse James Goodwin, a geriatrician at the university of texas Medical Branch, argues that when it comes to aging patients, treating risk factors with invasive procedures like carotid endarterectomy borders on assault. In an eloquent and disturbing essay published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Goodwin writes about the medicalization of aging, the tendency for doctors and patients to see the inevitable breakdown of the body as a series of treatable diseases.

"David Mangelsdorf, of the university of texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. As a result, cancers of the colon and rectum are much higher in the United States than in Japan, where a low-fat diet is the norm. No one is quite sure why fat increases cancer risk. But Mangelsdorf and his fellow researchers believe lithocholic acid, produced as the body processes cholesterol, may be at least part of the reason. "Uthocholic acid is highly toxic, and it builds up in a high-fat diet," Mangelsdorf says. " - The Editors of FC&A, Unleash the Inner Healing Power of Foods (Get the book.)

"Director of the Division of Allergy and Clinical Immunology at the university of texas Houston Medical School, describes what happens in your body when your immune system encounters a specific kind of pollen. "Your immune system is designed to protect 'me' (your body). It will go around and look at substances it encounters in the body and ask, 'Is that me? Is that not me?' After deciding 'It's not me,' the next question is 'Is it capable of creating disease?'

"Kenneth Blum and researchers at the university of texas have examined neurotransmitter deficiencies in alcoholics. Neurotransmitters are the chemicals the body makes to allow nerve cells to pass messages (of pain [page 338], touch, thought, etc.) from cell to cell. Amino acids (page 465) are the precursors of these neurotransmitters. In double-blind research, a group of alcoholics were treated with 1." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V.

"David Hillis, an interventional cardiologist at the university of texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, explained: "If you're an invasive cardiologist and Joe Smith, the local internist, is sending you patients, and if you tell them they don't need the procedure, pretty soon Joe Smith doesn't send patients any more. Sometimes you can talk yourself into doing it even though in your heart of hearts you don't think it's right."
