Mirko Beljanski, PhD, (1923-1998), biochemist and biologist, spent his professional career at the Pasteur Institute, Paris, studying the causes and mechanisms occuring during gene activation, cell division and tissue development in both normal and malignant states. His book, "The Regulation of DNA Replication & Transcription,"is devoted to this critical subject.
Dr. Beljanski discovered a change of conformation in the DNA of the cell when in presence of carcinogens (mutagens or not), pollutants and many other molecules. He showed that the DNA of a cancer cell is unwound or destabilized, a finding that was recently confirmed. These results led him to the invention of the Oncotest, which allowed him to identify many molecules having a carcinogenic potential. This Oncotest also permitted Dr. Beljanski to discover two specific anticancer plant extracts. John Hall, PhD, discusses this test and more about the ideas of Dr. Beljanski in the Townsend Letter’s article, "Destabilization of the DNA Double Helix in Cancer, Mirko Beljanski’s Theory of Carcinogenisis and Anti-Cancer Extracts".
Monique Beljanski, widow and colleague of Dr. Mirko Belanski, summarize different steps of this work in an article published in the Townsend Letter, "The Beljanski Approach: Outside the Box".
Dr. Beljanski made many more exciting discoveries, and published many of his works. He was also one of the first biologists to study small RNA, which play an important role in the growth of a cell. These RNA fragments stimulate the formation of white blood cells and platelets. They not only maintain normal white blood cell and platelet rates during radiation and chemotherapy, but they also preserve normal proportions among the various kinds of white blood cells, notably those that fight infections. These RNA fragments work only on the DNA of healthy cells, never that of cancer cells.
After 20 years of successful use in Europe, the Beljanski® products were brought to the US, and can now be obtained from Natural Source International, Ltd.
Dr. Beljanski’s research has become more prominent in America. At Columbia University, Dr. Aaron Katz’s team is conducting more research about the efficacy of the plant extracts in the Beljanski® products, Rauwolfia vomitoria and Pao Pereira (Pau Pereira). Recently, Aaron Katz, MD and Debra Bemis, PhD have explored Rauwolfia vomitoria extract as an anti-cancer element. The results of their pre-clinical studies have been published in the International Journal of Oncology, Nov. 2006.
A clinical trial to test the synergistic effects of Rauwolfia vomitoria and Pao Pereira (Pau Pereira) on men with a negative biopsy and elevated PSA is also underway at Columbia University, Department of Holistic Urology, under the direction of Dr. Geovanni Espinosa. To learn more about this clinical trial, and to see if you or someone you know may be eligible to participate and therefore receive a free supply of the Beljanski® product, Prostabel®, visit Columbia University's web site.
In addition to the work being done at Columbia University, a team of researchers also explored these extracts in the fight against prostate diseases. John Hall, PhD, Natacha Springer, Msc, and Debra Bemis, PhD explain scientific procedures in vivo and in vitro. They also discuss the anti-cancer activity of Pao Pereira (Pau Pereira) and Rauwolfia vomitoria. Dr. Beljanski’s past findings are discussed, as well as recent discoveries. Read more in the Townsend Letter article, "A Novel Combination of Plant Extracts with Promising Anti-Prostate Cancer Activity".
Michael Schachter, MD, Schachter Center for Complementary Medicine, Suffern, NY, has also taken interest in the research of Dr. Beljanski and the Beljanski® products. Typically, he recommends the products as complementary treatment for people fighting cancer. Read what Dr. Schachter says about Dr. Beljanski's approach to combating serious afflictions.
Dr Morton Walker explores the positive effects of Rauwolfia vomitoria and Pao Pereira (Pau Pereira) in the problem of prostate disease. In the Townsend Letter, "Symptoms Elimination for Prostate Disease", Dr. Morton Walker explores the positive effects of Rauwolfia vomitoria and Pao Pereira (Pau Pereira), and the current research taking place in America with these extracts.
David Steinman, Publisher and Editor of Healthy Living magazine, started his own Green Patriot act in order to conserve and protect the natural resources of our Earth. In his quest, he encourages others to join him. He recognized Dr. Mirko Beljanski as a green patriot. Dr. Beljanski's research, specifically how chemicals and cancer are related, is important to the modern environmental movement. More information about Dr. Beljanski, Prostabel® and Ladybel® can also be read about thanks to Healthy Living magazine.
In parallel, the interest of the RNA fragments active during the synthesis of immune cells has prompted a Phase I Clinical Trial at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA). The results completely confirm Dr Beljanski's report. A publication is in preparation.
