BURLINGTON, Vt. (MMD Newswire) January 31, 2011 -- In "Killing Cancer", Dr. Julian Lieb cites clinical and laboratory studies with hopes of illuminating the anticancer properties of antidepressants.
"Antidepressants kill cancer cells, inhibit their proliferation, protect nonmalignant cells from damage by ionizing radiation and chemotherapy toxicity, restore sensitivity to multidrug resistant cells and target the mitochondria of cancer cells while sparing those of healthy ones," explains Lieb. Lieb believes antidepressants are capable of arresting cancer even in advanced stages and occasionally eradicating it.
"Killing Cancer" presents a list of 60 published reports which reveal that antidepressants are potentially effective for the treatment of malignancies, including those that often resist treatment, such as cancer of the lungs, kidneys and liver; malignant gliomas of the brain; and inflammatory breast cancer. Lieb points out that the use of relatively inexpensive antidepressants could make cancer treatment available to low-income and disadvantaged segments of the population as well.
"Great advances seldom emanate from ivory tower medical schools or government health agencies," Lieb says. "They are often made by outsiders that draw together observations whose relationship to each other had never been suspected."
"Killing Cancer" is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
