Medicine from Camel Urine and Mares






Nano-particles in Camels’ urine may help treat cancer

Nano-particles in Camels’ urine may help treat cancer
Dr. Faten Abdel-Rahman Khorshid is responsible for one of the Kingdom’s greatest national achievements in the field of science for her work which began with the urine of camels and concluded in a potential cure for cancer. After spending more than five years in lab research, this Saudi scientist and faculty member from King Abdul Aziz University (KAAU) and President of the Tissues Culture Unit at King Fahd Center for Medical Research, has discovered that nano-particles in the urine of camels can attack cancer cells with success. Her work began with experiments involving camel urine, cancer cells found in patients’ lungs and culminated in injecting mice with leukemic cancel cells and camel urine to test the results.
Speaking to the Saudi Gazette, Dr. Khorshid claimed that she was inspired by Prophet Muhammad’s (pbuh) medical advice and that camel urine consists of natural substances that work to eradicate malignant cells and maintain the number of healthy cells in a cancer patient.
“This treatment is not an invention, but rather, taken from our Prophet’s legacy,” she remarked. A Hadith narrated by Al-Bukhari (2855) and Muslim (1671) claims that some people came to Madina and fell ill with bloated abdomens. The Prophet (pbuh) told them to combine the milk and urine of a camel and drink that, after which they recovered. A swollen abdomen may indicate edema, liver disease or cancer. Dr. Khorshid added that she is not a medial doctor but a scientist and her job involves the preparation and testing of a drug in the lab and supervising the manufacture, testing and application of the drug.
“We have researched and studied (camel urine) for seven years, during which we have tested the effectiveness of camel urine in fighting cancer to prerequisites set by the International Cancer Institute,” she explained. According to her published study on the subject, the clinical trial her team conducted on patients indicated that the medicine (capsules and syrup) did not entail any harmful side effects.
In the case of a volunteer patient with lung cancer, the medicine helped in halving the size of the tumor after only one month. The patient, and others like him, are still undergoing treatment. Heeding the advice found in the Hadith, Dr. Khorshid is combining specific amounts of camel milk and urine to develop her medicine and focuses on particular types of cancer, including lung cancer, blood cancer, stomach cancer, colon cancer, brain tumors and breast cancer.
She added that she advises all of her volunteer patients to use fresh camel milk and urine with the two components given individually for a period of time and then combined together later. Other illnesses, including vitiligo (depigmentation in certain areas of the skin), eczema and psoriasis (an autoimmune disease which affects the skin and joints). However, Dr. Khorshid adds that she will only dispense this medicine to patients on a non-voluntary basis when pharmaceutical companies obtain a license to do so. Currently, the medication is still undergoing tests.
“We will provide ointments, capsules, syrup, shampoo, soap and gels to combat a number of the illnesses mentioned, but only after they have been licensed by the Ministry of Health and mass-manufactured by the pharmaceutical company,” she explained.
Her study has obtained the formal approval of the Ethics Committee of Scientific Research at KAAU. Meanwhile, her research has earned her team the gold medal for innovation in the Kingdom in 2008, and the medicine was also chosen as one of the six best innovations out of 600 entrants at the International Innovation and Technology Exhibition (ITEX) 2009, held in Malaysia in May. - SG

Abstract

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE:

While camel urine (CU) is widely used in the Arabian Peninsula to treat various diseases, including cancer, its exact mechanism of action is still not defined. The objective of the present study is to investigate whether camel urine has anti-cancer effect on human cells in vitro.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

The annexinV/PI assay was used to assess apoptosis, and immunoblotting analysis determined the effect of CU on different apoptotic and oncogenic proteins. Furthermore, flow cytometry and Elispot were utilized to investigate cytotoxicity and the effect on the cell cycle as well as the production of cytokines, respectively.

RESULTS:

Camel urine showed cytotoxicity against various, but not all, human cancer cell lines, with only marginal effect on non-tumorigenic epithelial and normal fibroblast cells epithelial and fibroblast cells. Interestingly, 216 mg/ml of lyophilized CU inhibited cell proliferation and triggered more than 80% of apoptosis in different cancer cells, including breast carcinomas and medulloblastomas. Apoptosis was induced in these cells through the intrinsic pathway via Bcl-2 decrease. Furthermore, CU down-regulated the cancer-promoting proteins survivin, β-catenin and cyclin D1 and increased the level of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21. In addition, we have shown that CU has no cytotoxic effect against peripheral blood mononuclear cells and has strong immuno-inducer activity through inducing IFN-γ and inhibiting the Th2 cytokines IL-4, IL-6 and IL-10.

CONCLUSIONS:

CU has specific and efficient anti-cancer and potent immune-modulator properties in vitro.

PREMARIN: THE UGLY TRUTH

Premarin, PremPro, PremPhase and PremPac-C are estrogen drugs made from the urine of pregnant mares. There are an estimated 439 PMU farms in North America, with the vast majority located in the prairie provinces of Western Canada. The 439 figure includes 23 PMU farms in North Dakota, near the Canadian border. Almost all PMU farms are under an exclusive contract to provide pregnant mares' urine to Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories. Reports by investigators list the following conditions the pregnant mares are subjected to:Mares kept in tiny stalls with improper or no bedding on cold concrete floors, restrained with tethers so short that they are unable to lie down or rest their heads comfortably on the ground; and urine collecting harnesses that overly restrict movement and cause skin abrasions. The mares are confined to these stalls for six months from October until March. They are rarely, if ever taken out of their urine collection harness and off line for exercise. The continuous standing on concrete floors in their own feces, causes swollen legs, crippling and many of the mares die as a result of the stress.
The pregnant mares may receive considerably less water than they would normally drink. The drug company recommends that PMU farms use automatic watering systems at timed intervals in carefully measured amounts. It has been commonly reported that water was restricted in order to increase the concentration of estrogens by volume of urine and thereby to reduce the shipping cost.
A mare will normally live 20-30 years. Lack of exercise, decreased water consumption, constant pregnancy, injury, and disease, cause most PMU horses to burn out in 5 or 6 years. Born in March and April, most of the foals are fattened for a few months, then sent to the slaughterhouse. Over 50 years, this "harvest" has killed millionsof foals. This picture of a young horse (by Horse Aid in 1991) is about to be rendered while still alive.
FDA approved alternative estrogens have been available for up to 40 years. Following are just a few: Climara, Estrace, Estraderm, Estratab, Estring, Menest and Ogen. Fosamax is available for the treatment of osteoporosis. Evista (raloxifene) was approved by the FDA in Jan. 1998 to prevent osteoporosis and it may also help lower cholesterol without any increased risk of breast or uterine cancer. Cenestin manufactured by Duramed Pharmaceuticals was approved by the FDA as of March, 1999 and will be available by mid June, 1999 as a name brand alternative to Premarin. Remifemin is a natural estrogen from clinically studied standardized extract of black cohosh, has no side effects and is backed by 40 years of research. Remifemin has been used successfully in Europe since 1950 and is now available in natural health food stores in all 50 states.
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine reports in their Spring 1994 newsletter, A synthetic estrogen works as well as, if not better than Premarin. The synthetic is closer to a human female's estrogen than is a mare's estrogen. Many doctors agree. Refer to the 1996 Journal of Medical Ethics article by Dr. Denies Cox of Cambridge University Medical School . He considers objections to the mistreatment of horses including slaughtering of the majority of foals and concludes that plant derived estrogen (estriol) is "an effective, economical and acceptable alternative to equine estrogen". In a letter to the New York Times Dr. Phillip Warner, an Orinda, CA gynecologist with 30 years experience and Director of the Menopause Clinic of Northern California states "prescribing Premarin for estrogen deficiency has evolved as a 'Pavlovian response without any thought to individual treatment.'" Warner continues, "The notion that a substance derived from horse urine is "natural" to the human female is simply a tribute to 50 years of successful advertising." Horseman and medical Dr. Ray Kellosalmi of Peachland, B.C. states in The Animal Defense League of Canada Spring/Summer 1996 edition), "Premarin is the only estrogen containing materials from horses' urine, and most of the 10 known hormones in Premarin are not at all natural to the human female, being horse hormones that are chemically different from human hormones." No major clinical benefit has been accepted and proven for up to 8 of them.
