Introduction

Dr. S. P. Kaushal M.B.B.S., M.D. (Chinese medicine), D.Sc., contributed more than 25 years along with a team of doctors and scientists in Sino-Vedic Cancer Research Centre to develop various herbal formulations, including Immunotone, Cancertame and Oncotame from the active principles isolated from precious herbs having antimutagenic, immunoenhancing, anticancer, antioxidant, chemoprotective and radioprotective properties. Sino-Vedic herbal formulations are better remedies for cancer patients, especially for those, who become resistant to chemotherapy, and who are not fit to receive chemotherapy & radiotherapy due to old age or marked weakness. Sino-Vedic herbal formulations play a vital role in preventing recurrence of cancer and inhibiting growth & spread of various cancers without side effects. Sino-Vedic herbal formulations relieve pain, improve quality of life and prolong lifespan in the patients suffering from advanced stages of cancer.

Sino-Vedic herbal formulations fight cancer at every step (i.e. initiation, growth and metastasis) without side effects. Sino-Vedic herbal formulations execute their therapeutic effect by the complex synergistic interaction among various phytoconstituents of these precious herbs. These herbal formulations work by blocking cancer-promoting enzymes and hormones, arresting cancer-cell division, preventing micrometastases, inhibiting angiogenesis (a process by which cancer creates its own blood supply) and stimulating DNA repair mechanism. Sino-Vedic herbal formulations induce autophagy (autophagocytosis) and apoptosis (a process that directs body's immune system to identify and destroy cancer cells). Sino-Vedic herbal formulations also work by blocking the supply of nutrients to cancer cells, thus killing them by starving. Sino-Vedic herbal formulations inhibit growth & spread of cancer even in advanced stages. These herbal formulations prevent seeding and metastasis of cancer by blocking adhesion of cancer cells. Sino-Vedic herbal formulations are equally effective in both hormone-sensitive and hormone-refractory cancers.

Sino-Vedic herbal formulations also boost immune system of the body against cancer by enhancing activity of the immune cells and promoting production of cytokines (including interleukin, interferon, tumour necrosis factor & colony stimulating factor) that help to fight cancer more effectively. These herbal formulations inhibit mutations in genes and repair chromosomal abnormalities. Sino-Vedic herbal formulations prevent recurrence in already treated cancer patients. Sino-Vedic herbal formulations reduce toxic side effects of chemotherapy & radiotherapy including life threatening complications such as bone marrow suppression. Sino-Vedic herbal formulations can be taken alone or along with chemotherapy & radiotherapy.
