APIGENIN: Anti-tumor, Non-Mutagenic Flavonoid

"apigenin prevents melanoma metastasis"

This was fascinating.  It's an assessment of Apigenin, an anti-tumor flavonoid.  

Apigenin, a nonmutagenic flavonoid, has been found to have antitumor properties and is therefore particularly relevant for the development of chemotherapeutic agents for cancers. In this study, time- and dose-dependent cell viability and cytotoxicity were assessed to determine the effects of apigenin on A2058 and A375 melanoma cells. Melanoma cells were pretreated with different concentrations of apigenin and analyzed for morphological changes, anoikis induction, cell migration, and levels of proteins associated with apoptosis. Apigenin reduced integrin protein levels and inhibited the phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2), which induce anoikis in human cutaneous melanoma cells. Apigenin exhibited dose-dependent inhibition of melanoma cell migration, unlike untreated controls. Furthermore, apigenin treatment increased apoptotic factors such as caspase-3 and cleaved poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase in a dose-dependent manner, demonstrating the metastasis of melanoma cells. Our results provide a new insight into the mechanisms by which apigenin prevents melanoma metastasis by sensitizing anoikis induced by the loss of integrin proteins in the FAK/ERK1/2 signaling pathway. These findings elucidate the related mechanisms and suggest the potential of apigenin in developing clinical treatment strategies against malignant melanoma.

1,600 + Reports of Hair Loss Following COVID-19 Shots

The prescient Bill Sardi noted this hair loss last August 2020, from COVID alone, long before the vaccine rollout.  He writes,

Researchers theorize the same male hormones that provoke hair loss may be linked to the propensity of COVID-19 patients experiencing hair loss.  In fact, men with baldness may be more prone to COVID-19 infection itself. 

So it looks like severely intense experiences, like a serious illness, can cause hair loss.  This then becomes quite a statement about the vaccines are: a toxin. 

As many as 70% of the scalp hairs are then shed in large numbers about 2-3 months after a “shock“.  This sudden increase in hair loss (hair falling out in handfuls) is called acute telogen effluvium.  High fevers, childbirth, severe infections, severe psychological stress, major surgery or illnesses, over or under-active thyroid hormone, crash diets with inadequate protein, and a variety of medications– retinoids, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, antidepressants and anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) — are causal. 

I'd read a few years back that pumpkin seed oil is important for hair health and hair restoration.  Looks like Sardi underscores this fact.  He writes that all you need is 400 mg of a daily dose.  

Pumpkin seed oil is a natural 5-alpha reductase enzyme inhibitor.  A 400-milligram daily dose of pumpkin seed oil has been found to restore hair (40% increase in hair count, for men –and women in this author’s experience).  (Pumpkin seed oil completely eradicated this author’s bald spot and at age 75 I have a full head of hair!). This is photo-documentation of the positive effect of pumpkin seed oil on hair loss:
