Glutamine and Glutamate: Forgotten Factors in Cancer

[Michael Reagan] Dr. Russell Blaylock, M.D., writes: Cancer cells have abnormal metabolism. Mainly, this is because they use a process called aerobic glycolysis for energy. (Normal cells use a different process called the electron transport system.) Glucose is the main fuel for cancers, and therefore all carbohydrates feed cancers. But cancer cells have other fuels. It turns out that they can use the amino acid glutamine just as efficiently as they use glucose. Special: [New Aging Research Reveals Key to Long, Healthy Life]( In fact, some tumors are voracious glutamine consumers. Within cancer cells, glutamine is converted into another amino acid called glutamate, which is used for energy production and to stimulate receptors on the cancer cell membrane, triggering increased proliferation of cancer cells and invasion into surrounding tissues. The list of cancers that have been shown to have glutamate receptors include: • Colon cancer • Breast cancer • Prostate cancer • Thyroid cancer • Lymphoma • Leukemia • Lung cancer • Bone cancers • Pancreatic cancer • Nasopharyngeal cancer • Brain cancer Some cancers, such as melanomas and medulloblastomas, have very high numbers of glutamate receptors. Blocking glutamate receptors has been shown to inhibit the growth and invasion of these tumors and greatly enhance the effectiveness of conventional treatments. Most diets, even those advocated by cancer center dietitians, contain high levels of glutamate, glutamine, and sugar. Unfortunately, cancer patients are rarely told that they should avoid foods naturally high in glutamate and glutamine, and processed foods containing powerful glutamate additives, such as MSG, whey protein, hydrolyzed protein, soy protein, caseinate, natural flavors, carrageenan, and autolyzed yeast. Foods naturally high in glutamate include all meats, fish, many cheeses, green peas, all soy products, beans, tomatoes (especially pureed or as a sauce), and many salad dressings, as well as milk and milk products. While a ketogenic diet has powerful anticancer effects, high glutamate foods should be excluded from that diet. Inside cells, glutamine is converted into glutamate by the enzyme glutaminase. Research has shown that inhibiting this enzyme slows cancer growth. The highest concentration of glutamine in the body is found in muscles. Terminal cancer patients lose a great deal of muscle and become emaciated (cancer cachexia) because the tumors steal the glutamine from their muscles in massive amounts. The answer to this problem seems to be blocking the glutaminase enzyme, as that prevents the cells from manufacturing glutamate. But you also have to eliminate glutamate from the diet.

Well, I was trying to explain to someone recently about the concept of inflammation in the body, and this was the simplest example I could come up with. You see, most people think of inflammation merely as something that happens in their joints or muscles. Like when you lift something you shouldn’t or exercise too vigorously, and then you feel pain, stiffness, or swelling. What most people don’t know is that, when it comes to inflammation, joint or muscle problems are just the tip of a very large and very hazardous iceberg. If you are middle-aged … If you are overweight or sedentary, stressed out or not sleeping well … If you like to eat junk food, sugary desserts, or have other bad habits … You should heed the warning “iceberg — dead ahead” like you were a passenger on the Titanic. Because under the surface of that small iceberg you can see with your eyes, the process of inflammation has likely been festering silently for years, maybe for decades. “I consider the process of inflammation to be the #1 health issue plaguing adults as they grow older.” Most people don’t even know they’re on a collision course with the part of the iceberg they can’t see. The part that affects their heart, brain, lungs, eyes, blood vessels, and all their other organs and cells. Perhaps this explains the iceberg a bit better … (And please forgive my crude drawing skills as I am a doctor, not an artist.) “Inflammation affects your entire body — not just your joints! It even makes you grow old before your time.” So I want to let you in on a secret … For several years now, I have been working on a natural solution to fight inflammation. Now, if you’re familiar with my work, you probably know I have devoted many hours to researching and writing about the perils of this festering process.
