Abstract:Here we describe the results of a novel type of complementary immunotherapy of cancer that is based on a combination of ketogenic diet, administration of an emulsion made of chondroitin sulfate, vitamin D 3 and oleic acid and of a fermented milk and colostrum product. The results here reported are consistent with current knowledge concerning the biological and clinical effects of each one of the elements used in the approach described in this study. Based on our results, we suggest that, among the different approaches to the complementary immunotherapy of cancer, those strategies based on ad-hoc formulated nutritional plans and on food supplements that stimulate the immune system and fight inflammation appear to be most promising. Thus, these approaches are characterized by inherent low toxicity and the possibility to use them in conjunction with conventional anti-cancer therapies targeting cancer cells such as radiation or chemotherapies.

Swine manure subjected to In-Storage Psychrophilic Anaerobic Digestion (ISPAD) undergoes protein degradation but limited NH 3 volatilization, producing an effluent rich in plant-available N susceptible to more volatilization during land application. This study therefore measured NH 3 volatilization from both ISPAD and open tank (OT) swine manures when applied to 5 different soils (washed sand, Ste Rosalie clay, Upland sandy loam, St Bernard loam and Ormstown silt) within laboratory wind tunnel simulations. After 47 h, the NH 3 volatilized varied with both manure and soil type. For all soils, the ISPAD manure lost less NH 3 compared to OT manure, averaging 46% less. The lower solids content and higher buffering capacity of the ISPAD manure explain the advantage. The Ormstown loam maintained the same NH 3 volatilization rate after 47 h because of higher capillary effect and the St Bernard sandy loam lost the same N mass for both manures, because of a higher pH and buffer pH, with an intermediate CEC resulting in more soil solution NH 3 . Within each manure type, % TAN volatilized was highest for washed sand and lowest for the clay soil. Thus, ISPAD manure can offer up to 21% more plant-available N especially when not soil incorporated following its application.
