	Serenelli's Cancer Experience diary... the GLOSSARY Back to index In order to help you understand the terms involved in the therapy read the glossary below. Beta Carotene - it is a carotenoid which is converted in the body into Vitamin A. Bioflavonoids - they are a natural complement to vitamin C and are contained largely in the peels of grapefruits, lemons and oranges. Blood D-Tox tea - detox tea for the blood. Ingredients: Potroot, Chaparral, Burdock roots and leaves, Sassafras, Garlic, Cayenne, Oregon Grape root, Yellow Dock and Red Clover blossoms. Calcium/Magnesium - Calcium and Magnesium are essential minerals for the building of bones and teeth and are extremely critical for the proper functioning of both skeletal muscles and the heart. Because they are difficult to absorb, most people should supplement with them. Ingredients: Calcium and Magnesium. Calcium Gluconate - Calcium supplements are taken by individuals who are unable to get enough calcium in their regular diet or who have a need for more calcium. Pregnant women, nursing mothers, children, and adolescents may need more calcium than they normally get from eating calcium-rich foods. Carnitine - L-carnitine is an amino acid which nourishes the heart, nourishes and strengthens muscles, and nutritionally supports the circulatory system. L-Carnitine is considered to be a "carrier" of fat to the mitochondria or "fatburning" area of the cell. This remarkable amino acid-like substance is not only necessary for the metabolism of fat at the cellular level; it is also essential in the forming of firm, lean muscle tissue in the body. Recent studies support earlier research which shows that the heart has the greatest amount of L-Carnitine of any muscle in the body. L-Carnitine has also shown to be instrumental in the metabolism of cholesterol. Some overweight people may lack L-Carnitine in their bodies. The heart produces most of its energy from fats; thus is dependent upon L-carnitine. An L-Carnitine deficiency causes extreme metabolic impairment to heart tissue. On the other hand, supplemental L-Carnitine has proved to be beneficial to heart patients. Castrol oil - it is used hot to saturate a flannel that is used as a compress on cancer affected parts. Ingredients: ultra pure, cold pressed Castrol oil. Cayenne Tincture Ingredients: Habenero Peppers, Grain alcohol, distilled Water. Celandine Drops - (Chelidonium Majus) stimulates liver and gallbladder secretions and drainage (cholagogue); antispasmodic to gallbladder and gastrointestinal tract. Removes warts. GOOD FOR: inefficient function of glandular organs of abdominal cavity, and sluggish and deficient circulation of tissues; glands and organs of this cavity; inflammation and congestion of liver, gallbladder and spleen; liver related headaches and dyspepsia; diminished bile secretion and relief of gall bladder congestion; prevention of gallstone colic; gastrointestinal spasms. Topically for removal of warts and corns. CHELATION - this intravenous treatment has been around since World war II. It consists of a combination of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. The combination of these substances dissolves the sediments that, through the years, have been accumulating inside your arteries. It also extracts toxic substances out of your blood. The word CHELATION means "attracting", "pulling". That is precisely its main form of action. The main ingredient is EDTA (etilen diamino tetracetic acid). This substance has the quality of pulling and trapping in its molecule metal ions, toxins, and minerals that are found in the circulation, in the walls of the arteries or in the joint. This substance, which is an amino acid, returns the natural elasticity to the arteries rejuvenating the cardiovascular system. In that way it promotes better nourishment to the cells of our tissues and diverse enzymatic system which were restrained are put into action. EDTA is a calcium antagonist or blocker and prevents it from depositing in abnormal places like the intimate layer of the arteries and/or joints. EDTA is not a toxic agent, but that it is an amino acid that is absorbed by the body in the lowest quantities since 98-99% is eliminated in 24 hours after its administration, the rest is eliminated in 48 hours. The elimination is mainly carried out by the kidneys. CHELATION - formula used at Dr. Castillo clinic Ingredients: Magnesium, Ascorbic Acid, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, Pantohenic Acid, Ethynildiaminotetraacetic Acid, B1, B6, B12, Procaine, Niacinamide, Heparine.

Ingredients: Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin E, Rice Bran Oil, Gelatin, Glycerin, Beeswax, Water, Beta Carotene, Annato and Titanium Dioxide. CT SCAN - Computed Tomography (CT) imaging is also known as "CAT scanning" (Computed Axial Tomography). Tomography is from the Greek word "tomos" meaning "slice" or "section" and graphia meaning "describing". During its 25-year history, CT has made great improvements in speed, patient comfort, and resolution. As CT scan times have gotten faster, more anatomy can be scanned in less time. Faster scanning helps to eliminate artifacts from patient motion such as breathing or peristalsis. CT exams are now quicker and more patient friendly than ever before. Tremendous research and development has been made to provide excellent image quality for diagnostic confidence at the lowest possible x-ray dose. Decaris or Ergamisol - (levamisole hydrochloride) is an immuno-modulator that recent studies have shown effective in the fight of colon cancer. Dendritic Cell Vaccine - DMSO - it is a free radical fighter, a great carrier and is known for realigning DNA. This bio-chemical agent is found naturally in garlic and is essential to health.

Essiac tea - immune system support. Ingredients: Burdock root, sheep sorrel leaves, Slippery elm bark, Indian Rhubarb root. Folic Acid - folic acid is a form of a water-soluble B vitamin. Folic acid is the synthetic form of this vitamin that is found in supplements and fortified foods. Glutathione - it is actually a tripeptide made up the amino acids gamma-glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. The primary biological function of glutathione is to act as a non-enzymatic reducing agent to help keep cysteine thiol side chains in a reduced state on the surface of proteins. Glutathione is also used to prevent oxidative stress in most cells and helps to trap free radicals that can damage DNA and RNA. There is a direct correlation with the speed of aging and the reduction of glutathione concentrations in intracellular fluids. As individuals grow older, glutathione levels drop, and the ability to detoxify free radicals decreases. HOXSEY Tonic - anti cancer herbal mixture.

Magnesium Sulfate - epsomite, or heptahydrite as it is known in chemistry circles, is one of only a few water soluble sulfate minerals. It is actually well known in most households as the artificially created epsom salt. Magnesium sulfate's medicinal uses were discovered from mineral waters at Epsom, England from where epsom salt and epsomite get their names. Mega-Oxi - superoxide is perhaps the most prolific and well-studied free radical in the human body. It is responsible for a cascade of pathologically harmful biological events and has been implicated in a number of immune dysfunctions. The antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase contained within Mega-Oxi effectively quenches superoxide. Sodium Selenite and a trace amount of Vitamin E have been added to this formulation to lend greater stability and protection. Milk Thistle - liver cleanser.

Neo-Panlacticos - it restores of the intestinal flora. Efficient in treatments with antibiotics and sulfas by oral route. During the treatment of gastrointestinales diseases. In chemotherapies and x-rays. In the mucosa of the heavy intestine a great amount of microorganisms exists that constitutes normal flora intestinal, formed mainly by bacterias acidófilas and in smaller proportion by proteolíticas bacteria. The paper that plays the intestinal flora in the organism is of extreme importance since it carries out the following functions: DEFENSIVE: It prevents the implantation of bacteria other people's to the intestine by competitive action. ANTITOXIC: They destroy some toxic originating substances of foods. NUTRITIOUS: In the processes of rotting and fermentation they help to complete the digestion that did not carry out the gastric juice, unfolding proteins and synthesizing vitamins of the B Complex. Aid to the formation of lees, favoring the peristáltico movement. The lactic germs alive antibiotic-resistant Neo-panlacticos presents turn it the election medicine when it is required to modify and to recover the intestinal flora, because the treatments with antibiotics and sulfas by oral route break the intestinal balance diminishing the acid-lactic flora. Niacin or Vitamin B3 - it helps to flush out the toxins from the fatty tissue. Ingredients: Niacin Novenzyme - it is a state-of-the-art proteolytic enzyme product. Taken with food Novenzyme enhances the body's natural ability to break down and assimilate proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Taken between meals, on an empty stomach, Novenzyme enters the bloodstream and effectively supports the body in ridding itself of Circulating Immune Complexes (CICs). Oncolyn - is a formulated combination of extracts from three edible plants, was evaluated by itself, or in combination with cytoxan/adriamycin/cysplatin, 5_FU and methotrexate, for anticancer activity in a mouse subrenal capsule assay and subsequent clinical application for various tumors. Oncolyn - is a formulated combination of extracts from three edible plants, was evaluated by itself, or in combination with cytoxan/adriamycin/cysplatin, 5_FU and methotrexate, for anticancer activity in a mouse subrenal capsule assay and subsequent clinical application for various tumors.

OligoProanthoCyanidins (OPCs) are the bio-active components in pycnogenol and grape seed extract and protect connective tissue, nervous and cardiovascular systems. OPCs cross the blood brain barrier and act deeply within the body to protect against free radical damage. Ginkgo Biloba and Green Tea extracts have been added to enhance the protection of the cardio vascular system and nourish brain function. Milk thistle acts as a major rejuvenator of the liver, shielding the body against the toxic effects of chemicals encountered in daily life. PB8 (Pro-Bionic Acidophilus): a dietary supplement pill for supporting a healthy digestive system. Ingredients: Rise Maltodextrin Carrier, Fructooligosaccharides, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactobacillus Plantarum, Lactobacillus Rhamnosius, Lactobacillus Casei, Lactobacillus Bulgaricus, S. Thermophilus, Bifidobacterium Longam and Bifidobacterium Bifidum. PectaSol - PectaSol Modified Citrus Pectin is formulated to exactly match the specifications in Dr. Pienta’s research. This unique formulation allows it to be easily absorbed into the bloodstream, where it can bind to the galectin molecules on the surface of aberrant cells. It is postulated that it is this adherence of the modified citrus pectin to the aberrant cells that prevents them from sticking to each other, which may interfere with their growth cycle and block their ability to adhere to new sites in the body. Phanter Piss - helps to make the body PH alcaline. Ingredients: Apple Cider vinegar & Black Strap Molasses. Plant Enzyme - digestion aid.

Ranitidine - a histamine blocker and antacid (trade name Zantac, Ranitidine) used to treat peptic ulcers and gastritis and esophageal reflux. Samyr (Ademethionine) - SAMe (S-Adenosyl-L-methionine) is a natural chemical that is involved in methyl-donor conversion. That is to say that SAMe has diverse uses because it is widely used in chemical processes throughout the body. There is also a correlation between SAMe and Melatonin, when Melatonin levels are low SAMe levels are high and vice-versa. SAMe has been described as the daytime alertness hormone, in the same way that Melatonin has been described as the night time sleep hormone. SAMe is the 3rd most concentrated chemical in the liver, so it has been widely used to correct liver disorders such as cirrhosis and even hepatitis. Being natural, SAMe doesn't suffer have any of the serious side effects that are associated with other liver drug treatments. Selenium - it is an essential trace mineral in the human body. This nutrient is an important part of antioxidant enzymes that protect cells against the effects of free radicals that are produced during normal oxygen metabolism. The body has developed defenses such as antioxidants to control levels of free radicals because they can damage cells and contribute to the development of some chronic diseases. Selenium is also essential for normal functioning of the immune system and thyroid gland. Taurine - it is an amino acid-like compound and a component of bile acids, which are used to help absorb fats and fat-soluble vitamins. Taurine also helps regulate the heart beat, maintain cell membrane stability, and prevent brain cell over-activity. Thymus extracts (Thymune) - they are extracts derived from the thymus glands usually of young calves (bovine). The thymus is one of our major immune system glands. It is composed of two soft pinkish-gray lobes lying in bib-like fashion just below the thyroid gland and above the heart. To a large extent, the health of the thymus determines the health of the immune system. The thymus is responsible for many immune system functions, including the production of T lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell responsible for "cell-mediated immunity." Cell-mediated immunity refers to immune mechanisms not controlled or mediated by antibodies. Cell-mediated immunity is extremely important in the resistance to infection by certain bacteria, yeast (including Candida albicans), fungi, parasites, and viruses (including herpes simplex, Epstein-Barr, and the viruses that cause hepatitis). Cell-mediated immunity is also critical in protecting against the development of cancer, allergies, and autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis. The thymus gland also releases several hormones, such as thymosin, thymopoeitin, and serum thymic factor, that regulate many immune functions. Total Nutrition - food supplement make of a blend of herbs, vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Ingredients: Spirulina Blue Green Algae, Chlorella, Astragalus, Alfalfa, Barley, Wheat Grass, Purple Dulse Seaweed, Beet Root, Spinach Leaf, Rose Hips, Orange and Lemon Peels, Non-Active Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Nutritional Yeast. Total Tonic - it is a strong herbal plague formula that helps with all the general symptoms of cold and flu. Ingredients: Garlic, Ginger, Horseradish, Onion, Cayenne, in a base of organic Apple Cider vinegar. Trace Minerals - minerals that occur in tiny amounts or traces. They play a major role in health, since even minute portions of them can powerfully affect health. They are essential in the assimilation and utilization of vitamins and other nutrients. They aid in digestion and provide the catalyst for many hormones, enzymes and essential body functions and reactions. they also aid in replacing electrolytes lost through heavy perspiration or extended diarrhea and protects against toxic reaction and heavy metal poisoning. UDO's Oil - a balanced blend of quality unrefined oils. Ingredients: Flax oil, Sunflower oil, Sesame oil, medium chain Triglycerides, Evening Primrose oil, Soy Lecithin, Rice bran and germ oils, Oat bran and germ oils and Tocotrienols. Vegan - a vegan (pronounced VEE-gun) is someone who avoids using or consuming animal products. While vegetarians avoid flesh foods, vegans also avoid dairy and eggs, as well as fur, leather, wool, down, and cosmetics or chemical products tested on animals. Why VEGAN? Veganism, the natural extension of vegetarianism, is an integral component of a cruelty-free lifestyle. Living vegan provides numerous benefits to animals' lives, to the environment, and to our own health–through a healthy diet and lifestyle. For more info www.vegan.org. Vitamin B-complex - refers to all of the known essential water-soluble vitamins except for vitamin C. These include thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), biotin, folic acid and the cobalamins (vitamin B12). Vitamin B1 - the functions of Vitamin B1 are carbohydrate metabolism, participates in the synthesis of acetylcholine, nerve conduction & transmission, energy production and Oxygen metabolism. Ingredients: Thiamine Hydrochloride. Vitamin B12 - also called "cobalamin", is important to good health. It helps maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells, and is also needed to make DNA, the genetic material in all cells (1-4). Vitamin B12 is bound to the protein in food. Hydrochloric acid in the stomach releases B12 from protein during digestion. Once released, B12 combines with a substance called intrinsic factor (IF) before it is absorbed into the bloodstream. Vitamin B17 - Amygdalin - Laetrile - It involves a unique chemical compound that literally poisons the malignant cell while nourishing all the rest. Vitamin C - also known as Ascorbic Acid, is a very important essential nutrient—that is, we must obtain it from diet. It is found only in the fruit and vegetable foods and is highest in fresh, uncooked foods. Vitamin C is one of the least stable vitamins, and cooking can destroy much of this water-soluble vitamin from foods. Vitamin E - oxigenates the blood. Ingredients: D Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate. Vitamin K - this vitamin is used in the body to control blood clotting and is essential for synthesizing the liver protein that controls the clotting. It is involved in creating the important prothrombin, which is the precursor to thrombin - a very important factor in blood clotting. It is also involved in bone formation and repair. In the intestines it also assists in converting glucose to glycogen, this can then be stored in the liver. There are some indications that Vitamin K may decrease the incidence or severity of osteoporosis and slow bone loss. Wobenzym - contains systemic enzymes, which split other proteins and break them down into smaller chains of amino acids. The body uses these naturally-occurring enzymes like a biological "vacuum cleaner" to rid the blood of circulating immune complexes and other harmful proteins that can lodge in joints or cause other health problems.

Samyr (Ademethionine) - SAMe (S-Adenosyl-L-methionine) is a natural chemical that is involved in methyl-donor conversion. That is to say that SAMe has diverse uses because it is widely used in chemical processes throughout the body. There is also a correlation between SAMe and Melatonin, when Melatonin levels are low SAMe levels are high and vice-versa. SAMe has been described as the daytime alertness hormone, in the same way that Melatonin has been described as the night time sleep hormone. SAMe is the 3rd most concentrated chemical in the liver, so it has been widely used to correct liver disorders such as cirrhosis and even hepatitis. Being natural, SAMe doesn't suffer have any of the serious side effects that are associated with other liver drug treatments.

Selenium - it is an essential trace mineral in the human body. This nutrient is an important part of antioxidant enzymes that protect cells against the effects of free radicals that are produced during normal oxygen metabolism. The body has developed defenses such as antioxidants to control levels of free radicals because they can damage cells and contribute to the development of some chronic diseases. Selenium is also essential for normal functioning of the immune system and thyroid gland.

Taurine - it is an amino acid-like compound and a component of bile acids, which are used to help absorb fats and fat-soluble vitamins. Taurine also helps regulate the heart beat, maintain cell membrane stability, and prevent brain cell over-activity.

Thymus extracts (Thymune) - they are extracts derived from the thymus glands usually of young calves (bovine). The thymus is one of our major immune system glands. It is composed of two soft pinkish-gray lobes lying in bib-like fashion just below the thyroid gland and above the heart. To a large extent, the health of the thymus determines the health of the immune system. The thymus is responsible for many immune system functions, including the production of T lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell responsible for "cell-mediated immunity." Cell-mediated immunity refers to immune mechanisms not controlled or mediated by antibodies. Cell-mediated immunity is extremely important in the resistance to infection by certain bacteria, yeast (including Candida albicans), fungi, parasites, and viruses (including herpes simplex, Epstein-Barr, and the viruses that cause hepatitis). Cell-mediated immunity is also critical in protecting against the development of cancer, allergies, and autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis. The thymus gland also releases several hormones, such as thymosin, thymopoeitin, and serum thymic factor, that regulate many immune functions.

Vitamin B1 - the functions of Vitamin B1 are carbohydrate metabolism, participates in the synthesis of acetylcholine, nerve conduction & transmission, energy production and Oxygen metabolism.
Ingredients: Thiamine Hydrochloride.

Vitamin B12 - also called "cobalamin", is important to good health. It helps maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells, and is also needed to make DNA, the genetic material in all cells (1-4). Vitamin B12 is bound to the protein in food. Hydrochloric acid in the stomach releases B12 from protein during digestion. Once released, B12 combines with a substance called intrinsic factor (IF) before it is absorbed into the bloodstream.

Vitamin B17 - Amygdalin - Laetrile - It involves a unique chemical compound that literally poisons the malignant cell while nourishing all the rest.

Vitamin C - also known as Ascorbic Acid, is a very important essential nutrient—that is, we must obtain it from diet. It is found only in the fruit and vegetable foods and is highest in fresh, uncooked foods. Vitamin C is one of the least stable vitamins, and cooking can destroy much of this water-soluble vitamin from foods.

Vitamin E - oxigenates the blood.
Ingredients: D Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate.

Vitamin K - this vitamin is used in the body to control blood clotting and is essential for synthesizing the liver protein that controls the clotting. It is involved in creating the important prothrombin, which is the precursor to thrombin - a very important factor in blood clotting. It is also involved in bone formation and repair. In the intestines it also assists in converting glucose to glycogen, this can then be stored in the liver. There are some indications that Vitamin K may decrease the incidence or severity of osteoporosis and slow bone loss.

Wobenzym - contains systemic enzymes, which split other proteins and break them down into smaller chains of amino acids. The body uses these naturally-occurring enzymes like a biological "vacuum cleaner" to rid the blood of circulating immune complexes and other harmful proteins that can lodge in joints or cause other health problems.
