Page 109#27. Ukrain
Ukrain was first developed in 1978 by Dr. Wassyl J. Nowicky, director of the
Ukrain Anti-Cancer Institute of Vienna. It is a mixture of Greater Celandine
(Chelidonium major) and an old a long-established cytotoxic drug, thiotepa. The
idea is that the combination of the two makes treatment effective at far lower
doses than the usual toxic amounts of thiotepa.
The plant Chelidonium major has been known for centuries in Russia as a cure
for cancer. It contains alkaloids with known anti-cancer activity. In this respect it
is worth remembering the periwinkle plant (Vinca major), which has given us two
modern cytotoxic drugs, vinblastine and vincristine.
Ukrain has been tested at the US National Institute for Cancer against over
60 lines of human cancer cells and found that in every case it arrested growth
100%. It seems that Ukrain causes a drop in utilization of oxygen. Normal cells
are able to recover within a few minutes but for cancer cells this change is
irreversible. They literally suffocate to death. Animal studies show that Ukrain is
also a powerful stimulant of the immune system.
Unfortunately, Ukrain is not available in mainstream medicine and holistic doctors
who use it are few and far between, unless you want to travel to Eastern Europe.
