Update on Research and Publications by Dr. Rath’s Research Institute

Recently, our research team published three important scientific papers:

1) The Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology has published the results of our study confirming that nutrient synergy is much more effective than any single nutrient to prevent the formation of atherogenic plaque. This nutrient combination can also inhibit the mediators of inflammation and many other steps involved in the process of atherogenesis.

2) Two other papers published in Experimental Lung Research provide additional evidence of the effectiveness of nutrient synergy in cancer in:

a) Halting metastasis of melanoma cells to the lungs. Depending on the nutrient concentration, up to 86% inhibition of metastasis could be achieved in vivo - which is a remarkable result. Currently there is no effective conventional treatment to curb this process.

b) In vivo study showing the reduction of lung tumor growth by about 45%, and explaining the mechanistic aspects of this effect at the cellular level.
