Bill Thompson's post below delves into the anti-cancer properties of tannic acid and related compounds, confirming Ted from Bangkok's claims about their effectiveness. Here are the key points from the post:
-
Anti-Histamine Properties: Tannic acid, along with catechins, ellagic acid, and gallic acid, acts as an anti-histamine, helping to reveal cancer cells to the immune system for white blood cells to attack and digest the tumor.
-
Inhibition of Hyaluronidase: Tannic acid inhibits the enzyme hyaluronidase, which cancer uses to invade healthy cells. By blocking this enzyme, tannic acid prevents cancer from spreading.
-
Research Confirmation:
- Hyaluronidase is present in cancer cells and aids in spreading by breaking down cell walls and facilitating angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels to nourish the tumor).
- By inhibiting hyaluronidase, tannic acid stops cancer cell adhesion, invasion, and metastasis.
-
Mechanisms of Action:
- De-cloaking Cancer: Makes cancer cells visible to the immune system.
- Stopping Angiogenesis: Prevents the tumor from forming its own blood supply.
- Preventing Adhesion: Stops cancer cells from sticking to healthy cells.
- Blocking Growth Factors: Prevents release of factors that aid cancer growth.
-
Combination Protocol: Dr. Mathias Rath's research supports the effectiveness of Combining Vitamin C, Lysine, Proline, and Epigallocatechins (similar to tannic acid) against cancer and metastasis.
-
Sources of Tannic Acid: Found in tea (Camelia sinensis), coffee beans, and black cohosh.
Research Confirmation
Research supports the role of tannic acid in cancer treatment. Hyaluronidase is implicated in cancer spread and angiogenesis, making it a target for inhibition. Studies confirm that tannic acid can block hyaluronidase, reducing tumor growth and metastasis, which aligns with Ted's and Bill's claims.
