Programmed cell death as signaled by the nuclei in normally functioning human and animal cells when age or state of cell health and condition dictates. Cancerous cells, however, are unable to experience the normal cell transduction or apoptosis-driven natural cell death process.

	Andropause/Male Menopause Recommendation DIM (di-indolmethane)/I3C (Indole-3-Carbinol) "...In studies culturing human vascular endothelial cells, it has been shown that 2-methoxy estradiol is a primary regulator of cell growth and apoptosis..." CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) As A Treatment "...These pathways are inhibition of cell growth, induction of differentiation, and apoptosis..." DIM (di-indolmethane)/I3C (Indole-3-Carbinol) As A Treatment "...Research Laboratory at Rockefeller University discovered that when DIM changes "strong" estrogen to "weak" estrogen, it stops human cancer cells from growing and provokes the cells to self-destruct (apoptosis)..." LDN - Low Dose Naltrexone As A Treatment "...When metenkephalin and/or beta-endorphins are attached to cancer cells while they are dividing, it seems to stimulate a process of programmed cell death or apoptosis, thus killing some cancer cells..." Prostate Cancer Recommendation DIM (di-indolmethane)/I3C (Indole-3-Carbinol) "DIM may reduce prostate cancer incidence as it has been shown to stop human cancer cells from growing (by 54-61%) and provokes the cells to self-destruct (apoptosis)..." Sjogren's Syndrome The Condition "...These fighter cells are supposed to die after their attack in a natural process called apoptosis, but in people with Sjogren's syndrome, they continue to attack, causing further damage..."
