| cer cell from identification and docking by the lymph cells. This is one of the ways cancer cells elude the body's defenses. Bromelain inactivates prostaglandin E2 and thromboxanes. Oncogenic prostaglandin E2 inhibits the tumor-killing function of macrophages, while thromboxanes lead to platelet aggregation and favor the development of castaway tumor cells. |
| The enzymatic deshielding effects of bromelain are also necessary to prevent metastasis. Bromelain has been shown to inhibit the metastasis of breast and ovarian cancer. It also delays the development of UV light-induced skin cancer in mice and inhibits metastasis of the Lewis lung cancer in mice. The bromelain used must be crude and undiluted (a GDU rating of 2,000 is best). |
| Bromelain has also been shown to enhance the cytotoxic effects of many chemotherapies, including 5-FU and vincristine. Bromelain also enhances the absorption and usability of both quercetin and the curcuminoids found in turmeric. This is why I often recommend that bromelain, quercetin, and turmeric be taken together thirty minutes before meals. Their combined action is very powerful. I recommend bromelain more often than Wobenzym, although I use them both. 127-129 (See table 5.3.) |

| Spleen Extract |
| The only spleen extract product I use in my practice is SP500, which consists of an extract of polypeptide spleen fractions. The small molecular-weight spleen peptides found in SP500 contain two important active ingredients, tuftsin and splenopentin. Tuftsin increases macrophage activity against infection and/or cancer cells; and splenopentin increases white blood-cell production, only if suppressed, as well as other immune-regulating compounds, including interleukin-3 and macrophage colony-stimulating factors. SP500 has shown a significant positive effect on the immune system, including substantially increasing phagocytic function and T- and B-cells in bone marrow. It inhibits the spreading of tumor metastases, reduces the damaging effect from radiation, and induces interferon production.130 |
| The indications for use of SP500 would include: |
| Low white blood-cell count |
| As an adjunct to medical treatments for cancer |
