Inositol Hexaphosphate Monograph (PDF)

Tumor Regression
by IP-6
     
  The B-vitamin inositol and its derivative IP6 (inositol hexaphosphate) are in the soil, in the seeds (e.g. rice, corn, soy), and in all mammalian cells. The relationship between Inositol & Cal Mag IP6 is like the chicken and the egg - one is derived from the other. Depicted at left are two mice harboring human liver cancer. The mouse on the upper panel shows complete regression of the tumor 1 week after IP6 treatment (right frame), whereas within the same period, the tumor in its sibling on the lower panel has grown 2-3 fold in size (right frame) Ref: Anticancer Research 18: 4091-4096,1998.


IP-6 Against Human Colon Cancer Cells
     
  This graph shows the population density of human colon cancer cells grown in the Petri dishes; some cancer cells were treated with IP6 and others not. While the control untreated cancer cells are growing steadily [top line], the population of IP6 treated cells do not grow as much. This growth inhibition becomes more prominent with increasing dose, a complete suppression of growth is seen as flat lines. There is very little, if any killing of cancer cells [Anticancer Research 15: 2479-2488, 1995].


IP-6 Against Human Breast Cancer Cells
     
  Unlike most other anti-cancer agents, Inositol & Cal Mag IP6 themselves do not kill cancer cells. Rather they tame the cancer cells to behave and look like normal cells (differentiation). While the cancer cells grow uncontrolled, the differentiated cells do not. The photomicrographs depict actual cancer cells. Because of IP6 treatment, there are fewer cancer cells and the cells are more reddish, expressing lactalbumin - a marker of normal breast cell [Anticancer Research 16: 3287-3292, 1996].


Inositol & Cal Mag,
The Best Combination
     
  Another manner by which Inositol & Cal Mag IP6combat cancer is by boosting the immune system. While Inositol & Cal Mag IP6 themselves do not directly kill the cancer cells, there is a subset of T-lymphocytes called natural killer (NK) cells who do just that. And their ability to kill cancer cells is increased by Inositol & Cal Mag IP6. This bar-graph shows a simultaneous reduction of cancer and an enhancement of NK activity. Although Inositol & Cal Mag IP6 individually reduce the incidence of cancer (black) and boost NK-cell activity (red), the combination by far yields the best result [red bar going off the scale].
