St. John's Wort may help fight cancer

October 11, 2002. The herb St. John's wort is used to treat mild to moderate depression and has also been used for skin injuries and burns. But recent research has found it to also possess antioxidant properties and to increase the liver's ability to detoxify chemicals. Through a series of experiments, researchers investigated the effect of St. John's wort on leukemia and glioma, a type of brain cancer. The experiments showed that St. John's wort can inhibit the growth of leukemia and glioma cells. Moreover, exposing St. John's wort to light appears to increase the anti-cancer properties of the herb.

How St. John's Wort works in relation to 5-HTP, L-Tryptophan,and SSRIs like PROZAC.

5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) works by increasing the cell’s output of serotonin.

L-Tryptophan must be converted to 5-HTP before it can then be converted into serotonin. 5-HTP may cause gastrointestinal problems for a small percentage of users but if you are not in that category, 5-HTP is the fastest and most effective supplement for increasing your serotonin levels.

St. John’s Wort works like SSRIs in that it increases the availability of serotonin in synapses (junctions between neurons) by blocking their reuptake but also increases the availability of norepinephrine, which increases energy, alertness, and dopamine levels providing a feeling of well-being.

SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are the class of prescription drugs including PROZAC. SSRIs work by increasing the availability of serotonin in synapses (junctions between neurons) by blocking their reuptake.
