KHALEESI, RIGHT?:

A brunette Emilia Clarke, who plays a platinum-haired queen on HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” threw at least one photographer at the front row of Altuzarra’s runway show on Saturday night. “You’re usually a blonde in the show, aren’t you?” the photog asked. “Yeah,” the actress said through a camera-ready smile as the flashes popped around her. It was the first fashion week appearance for Clarke, who is in rehearsals for “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” on Broadway and sounded smitten with New York, blizzard and all. “New York as a city is just phenomenal and I’ve fallen head over heels in love with it,” she said. “I braved the heels.” http://www.wwd.com/runway/fall-ready-to-wear-2013/fashion-scoops/altuzarra

Catalytic therapy of cancer with porphyrins and ascorbate.

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of California, Santa Cruz, CA 95064, USA. rozanovan@hotmail.com Abstract Catalytic therapy (CT) is a cancer treatment modality based on the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) using a combination of substrate molecules and a catalyst. In addition, the number of cells accumulating in the sub G0/G1 stage of the cell cycle increased from 3- to 10-fold, potentially reflecting that the treatment was highly effective in inducing DNA damage in the tumor cells, suggesting that porphyrins may be beneficial as a CT catalyst in the treatment of cancer.

Catalytic therapy of cancer with ascorbate and extracts of medicinal herbs.

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of California, Santa Cruz, CA 95064 and Department of Cancer Biology and Pharmacology, University of Illinois College of Medicine, Peoria, IL 61605, USA. Abstract Catalytic therapy (CT) is a cancer treatment modality based on the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) using a combination of substrate molecules and a catalyst. The most frequently used substrate/catalyst pair is ascorbate/Co phthalocyanine (PcCo). indicating that the treatment protocol was highly effective in suppressing DNA synthesis and potentially reflecting DNA damage in the tumor cells. Our results suggest that herbal extracts can function as CT catalysts in the treatment of cancer.

Catalytic Therapy Shows Promise as Cancer Treatment

Extracts of common herbs were introduced into cancer cell cultures followed by ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and copper sulfate (CuSO4). The result was the death of most of the cancer cells. This fascinating article discusses this new research: The same unstable molecules that may cause cells to turn cancerous can be harnessed to treat cancer, and researchers are finding that natural herbal pigments are an effective catalyst to produce these cancer-killing molecules, according to a study in Evidence Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine. The treatment is called catalytic therapy (CT), and it exploits the same reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can damage DNA in normal cells to the point that they turn cancerous. “We use the same quality in cancer therapy, but in catalytic therapy ROS harm only cancer cells,” says lead study author Nadejda Rozanova, PhD, a researcher in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California, Santa Cruz. “And it is because the concentration of catalytic therapy agents is much higher in cancer cells than in normal cells. There is no ROS production in normal cells with these concentrations of CT agents.” http://www.cancermonthly.com/iNP/view.asp?ID=232
