First of all I am not the biology expert that you are but I want to throw
out a few things that I know from experience and what I have in my files.
:o)
I have not experienced what you indicate in your email with clients or even
personally. I took lactoferrin as part of my treatment for cancer and I
have been well for 8 years. I am not advocating it as a stand-alone, by any
means, but as part of an effective protocol it certainly has merit.
There have been studies showing its benefit toward microbes, infections and
even Candida and, of course, it greatly improves the immune system. I have
seen it help with anemia many times as long as therapeutic dosaging is used.
Lactoferrin is not known to drive iron to cancer cells, in fact studies
indicate that the opposite happen in that it takes iron and makes it less
available to the cancer cells but more useable to the body.

Personally, I have not seen the results with artemisinin that a lot of
people are talking about. We used it as part of a protocol six or seven
years ago when I was interning and just didn't see better or worse results.
Also, from what I read of Dr's Lai and Singh's work the good results were
seen in a petri dish using transferrin and artemisinin on leukemia cells.
Which I understand is usually all we have to go on when it come to natural
medicine. But there are a lot of things that will kill cancer cells in a
petri dish but when it comes to the body it becomes a different story.
Portion of information on Dr. Lai's work (released in 2005):
"In the current study, the researchers _hypothesized_ that they could
improve the anti-cancer potency of artemisinin further by attaching or
"tagging" it to transferrin, a protein that picks up iron in the blood and
then is transported into cells, especially cancerous ones. Once in the cell,
transferrin releases the iron, leaving it free to interact with artemisinin
and cause the deadly reaction.
The investigators tested the "artemisinin-tagged transferrin" on _human
leukemia cells and on normal human immune cells_. As hoped for, the compound
destroyed the leukemia cells, but had little effect on the normal cells."
Difference between transferrin & lactoferrin (yes they are in the same
family but not exactly the same)

From another site:
The ability of lactoferrin to bind to a variety of normal and leukemic blood
cells has led to a suggestion that the lactoferrin released by neutrophilic
leukocytes plays a role in modulating the immune and inflammatory responses.
Lactoferrin promotes the
aggregation of neutrophils and their adhesion to epithelial cells, and may
be the agent that causes neutrophils to accumulate at inflammatory sites.
Lactoferrin in its iron- saturated form is a highly active inhibitor of
myelopoiesis, leading to the suggestion
that lactoferrin might be useful in the treatment of leukemia."
Theories don't always work in vivo the way they may work in vitro and I know
you know that better than any one. Possibly the Dr.'s theory of using
transferrin with artemisinin is of this nature. I have read some
testimonies of people using only lactoferrin for leukemia and becoming
cancer free.
I think it is wise for cancer patients to research and consider lactoferrin,
especially those who have done or are doing chemotherapy, those with Candida
(which are most) and those fighting anemia. And if one believes that cancer
is caused by parasites, yeast, etc. then certainly it would be an excellent
choice.
Be Well

Hello Dr.Laura,
Unfortunately, lactoferrin will drive more iron into cancer
cells. This is what Dr.s Lai and Singh used to ramp up the iron
content of the cancer cells before hitting them with
artemissinin.
If a cancer patient uses lactoferrin to address an anemia, it
would be prudent to use artemisinin at the same time.
