Vitamin E

Vitamin E (d alpha tocopherol in succinate form)
is a powerful anti-cancer agent.

Study: VITAMIN E d-tocotrienol significantly inhibited the pancreatic tumor growth [tumor volume (50%) and weight (60%)] and metastasis in the liver and lung, CSCs spheroid formation, migration and invasion compared to control. δ-tocotrienol induced apoptosis (PARP1 cleavage and Bax expression) compared to control.

Study:
… these vitamin E forms and metabolites directly target cancer cells and cancer stem cells (CSCs) by promoting apoptosis, antiangiogenesis, and antiproliferation partially via modulating sphingolipids, epigenetic events, and other signaling pathways.

Study: VEDT [d-tocotrienol, a natural form of vitamin E] (50 μM) inhibited self-renewal (spheroid formation) of stem cells… In summary, we found that natural VEDT inhibits pancreatic cancer metastasis..

Study: …the vitamin E derivative d-TT (but not vemurafenib) specifically targets melanoma CSCs, as demonstrated by its ability to significantly impair both the formation and the growth of melanospheres…These data demonstrate that d-TT exerts its antitumor activity by targeting the CSC subpopulation of A375 melanoma cells and might represent a novel chemopreventive/therapeutic strategy against melanoma.

Warning
1. Some cancer therapies can conflict with others. Do not start ANY therapy without consulting your doctor to ensure it’s safe and beneficial to do so.
2. Just because any given therapy worked for someone else does not necessarily mean it will work for you.
3. Although there are many viable alternative cancer treatments, there isn’t a “best” treatment for a certain type or stage of cancer.
