More than a few people today have been wondering about the role of and cancer. Is HCG possibly a cure?
Despite some of the claims that have been made about HCG (most of which have been tongue-in-cheek statements from critics and detractors), the answer is emphatically no. However, it is quite possible that HCG can play a significant role in the diagnosis of cancer.
The Natural Role of HCG
The “Human Chorionic Gonadotropin” (HCG) hormone is produced during pregnancy by the fetus. It has a number of functions, all of which are involved in the safety of the fetus during the gestation period. HCG plays a role by regulating the fetus’ metabolic processes as well as those of the mother. More significantly, however, HCG appears to guard the health of the fetus in two ways:
- Should the mother suffer from malnutrition during the course of the pregnancy, HCG prevents her body from stealing nutrients from the fetus.
- HCG acts as a natural immuno-suppressant, preventing the mother’s immune system from attacking and rejecting the fetus as a “foreign body” (as would happen to transplant patients without anti-rejection drugs).
This second characteristic is significant when it comes to cancer diagnosis.
About Cancer and HCG
The “crab sickness” (as it was known for centuries) is a paradox. On one hand, left untreated, cancer invariably kills its host. On the other hand, it represents a perverse kind of immortality. A cancerous tumor is simply a collection of cells that refuse to die in the normal way (which is apoptosis, or “cell-death”). In short, cancer does not kill directly. It literally strangles the life out of vital organs that it attacks.
What makes cancer so difficult to treat is the fact that unlike most diseases, it is not caused by a “foreign” pathogen such as a bacteria or virus. It is simply the body’s own cells that have gone haywire. Therefore, the immune system does not “see” them.
Many types of cancers are also notoriously difficult to detect until they have reached Stage 3 or 4, at which point they are incurable.
However, medical researchers have noted that cancer cells secrete small amounts of HCG. Given its role as an immuno-suppressant during pregnancy, it is possible that the hormone will actually serve the same function for cancer cells. This would help to explain why immuno-therapy for cancer is largely ineffective. More importantly, it serves as a marker, identifying cancer when it is present.
