Alternate, complementary, and preventive
oncologic nutraceuticals
Nutraceutical use may be targeted at any number
of health-related goals. Numerous nutraceutical
classifications exist. Within each nutraceutical class,
are nutraceuticals with oncologic benefits. Therefore,
this presentation seeks to illustrate nutraceutical
classification with an emphasis on preventive,
complementary (additive, synergistic, or adverse effect
ameliorating), and alternative (curative) oncologic
nutraceuticals. Most nutraceutical categories abound
with existing or potential alternative, complementary,
and preventive oncologic nutraceuticals. Organic acids
may be chemopreventive. Alkaloids are well established
as chemopreventive via Camellia sinensis, and
alternative, via Taxus spp. derivatives. Polysaccharides
include immune boosting chemopreventive mushrooms
and complementary ginseng, which reduces radiation
therapy adverse effects. Organosulphurs may inhibit
lung cancer and prevent estrogen excess driven
cancers. Docosahexanoic acid has dose-dependent
anti prostate cancer activity. Nutraceutical bases for
homeopathic remedies retain direct medicinal activity.
The breadth and depth of nutraceuticals should result in
more than 25% of conventional pharmaceuticals being
nutraceutical derived. Bio-pharmacologic engineering
harnessing microorganisms to produce phytonutrients
reduces the likelihood of supply limitations that have
affected Taxus spp. derivatives. The future could
experience decreased cancer incidence, more tolerable
and more effective cancer treatment.
