Thread: IGF-1 and Cancer

"Myth: Does IGF-1 cause cause cancer?


The answer is a resounding "NO". If you look at the research, high levels of IGF-1 in the circulation as a manifestation of disease. What that means is, like high levels of white blood cells are a manifestation when appendicitis occurs, showing that there is some kind of issue going on within the body. So higher levels could act as an early warning sign!
Natural & Balance are the issues here. Whole colostrum has all of the natural components with all the necessary factors to keep the IGF-1 Super Family in balance so the body can utilize the proteins for its own benefit and with multiple systems.
Therefore, the underlying cause for elevated levels of IGF-1 seen in cancer is related to a cascade of events that began with an alteration of basic genetic information and culminated in an impaired functioning of the IGF-1 receptors on the surface of the cells. Since IGF-1 does not have operating, functional receptors to interact with, it naturally backs up in the circulation as a manifestation of the disease process."
