The Salvestrols Concept: Linking Diet & Cancer

There's a worldwide epidemic of chronic diseases, including cancer, that also involves dogs. There's a link between the modern diet and cancer. Eating five or more servings of plants (fruits and vegetables) daily reduces risk of developing cancer, but it's hard to do this. Additionally, the modern diet is deficient in phytoalexins, which are compounds produced by plants to defend from predators, such as fungi. Plant salvestrols are a unique type of phytoalexins that have the potential to kill cancer cells in humans and dogs. It's now clear the absence of salvestrols from modern diets--largely removed by agricultural and processing practices-represents a profound nutritional loss contributing to the rising prevalence of cancer throughout the world. Reintroducing plant salvestrols through diet or supplementation has the potential to restore the natural cancer defense humans and dogs have had through coevolution with plants. The "ABCs" of The Salvestrols Concept holds that, A) Plant salvestrols are beneficial for human and dog health, but they're deficient in the modern diet. B) Most types of cancer produce an enzyme called CYP1B1 that metabolizes ingested salvestrols into several metabolites; normal cells don't produce the enzyme and are unaffected by salvestrols. C) The metabolites of salvestrols kill cancer cells by several mechanisms. Proprietary salvestrols containing dietary supplements derived with nesem® technology (naturally elicited specifically extracted molecules) are offered by Naturally Pure Products Limited in New Zealand. Salvestrol® Platinum is the signature dietary supplement for humans. The potency of salvestrols is expressed as Salvestrol® Points. For the reasons described here, most people can't ingest more than 100 Salvestrol® Points of dietary salvestrols daily, even eating plants cultivated without synthetic chemicals. Salvestrol® Platinum contains 2,000 Salvestrol® Points. Lupostrol® is the salvestrols containing dietary supplement developed for dogs. The nesem® derived dietary supplements are available in North America through North America Naturals, LLC (NANaturals.com).
