Anyone care to offer an opinion on this? This cartilage liquid extract has
angiogenesis poperties and I am considering ordering it for my mom (she has
metastaic disease from her salivary gland cancer).
Thanks in advance.

Even if it has anti-angiogenesis properties, they are unlikely to be
orally available. Are you going to inject it, or perhaps take it as
an enema?
I think you would be better off going with an anti-angiogenesis approach
that we know is orally available, like tea, fish oil, thalidomide,
COX-2 inhibitors, etc.
Most anti-angiogenesis claims I have heard for cartilage point to either
proteins, which are unlikely to be orally available in appreciable quantities,
or to competitive inhibition of collegenase by collagen of course. This
would require large quantities to have any chance of working. I believe
the cartilage derived agent which is currently in trials is administered
via injection. — Martin

Martin,
Thank you for your reply. The firm which distributes this product would have my
mom on a 3 month supply, taken in viles.
As you have mentioned, it would have to be in large doses, which I assume it
will be. Does this shed any light for this product?

yes, it seems it will probably be unpleasant to take. What are they
saying the likely side effects are? Have they told you to expect the
slow or halted healing that most scientists predict for successful
antiangiogenesis therapy? If they aren’t then they aren’t very
knowledgable about the mechanism they are proposing. Are they able to
point to studies showing any biological activity from their method of
administration as there is for fish oil and ice tea? Fish oil omega 3
fatty acids have been shown to have anti-inflamatory and platelet
effects when taken orally, tea has been shown to have blood lipid
antioxident effects when taken orally. Thus the components proposed to have
anti-angiogenic benefits are shown to at least get into the blood stream.
What is their route of administration? – Martin

It’s worth a try if you can afford it.
It is the very same extract from which the promising new cancer drug
Neovastat is made.
