C-Statin is an anti-angiogenesis product designed to block new blood vessel growth. C-Statin is a group of proteoglycan molecules (PGM) isolated from Bindweed (Convulvulus arvensis,) a common garden weed.
C-Statin is a proprietary extract of Convolvulus Arvensis that contains high concentrations of active PGM's that have been shown to exhibit angiogenesis inhibition. This powerful formula is invaluable in the fight against tumor illnesses.
Curiously, C-Statin is registered as a food supplement. It was developed by Neil Riordan, Founder and president of the Aidan Clinic in Tempe, Arizona.
C-Statin has an interesting history.
In 1994 a woman walked into a cancer clinic in Wichita, Kansas (run by Neil's father) wanting to tell her story. She was a 57 year-old who had had a diagnosis of stage 3C ovarian cancer. Her mother had died of ovarian cancer and when her oncologist said that she had possibly a year and a half left if she did chemo, she remembered her mother not doing very well on chemo and she wanted to go another route. So she found herself a shaman/healer who said, "Here, take this tincture from this plant." She took it for 2 years as was declared cancer free. Her doctor, of course, claimed it to be an "act of God." She was still taking her "convolvulus tincture," seven years after her initial diagnosis and she just wanted to tell her story to someone.
The plant turned out to be the Convolvulus Arvensis, or Field Bindweed. It grows all over America and is considered a pest.
Neil began testing this plant, first by putting it on cancer specimens to determine if it was onco-toxic (toxic to the cancer). It was not. Then he tested it to see if it had any immunostimulant properties; perhaps it stimulated the immune system to kick into high gear and attack the cancer. He did find that it was immunosupportive, but not to any degree that would account for this lady's dramatic results. Next he tested it to see if it stopped the growth of new blood vessels. and bingo, that was it.
Interestingly enough, there are antiangiogenesis chemicals in our bodies already. Let's face it, after we are fully grown, we don't need new blood vessels continually growing in our bodies, so these chemicals kick in to stop their growth. We have still other chemicals in our body to kick in the growth of new blood vessels in case we should need them, as in the case of an injury or a pregnancy.
C-Statin is just one of Neil's patented formulas. It comes from the isolated PGMs (proteoglycan molecules) of the Bind Weed that are responsible for this action. It is sold only to healthcare professionals, though, as stated previously, it is registered as a food supplement. It is one of the therapies offered at the Aidan Clinic.
C-Statin can be taken orally, as we see from this lady's testimonial, but it is usually administered intravenously for the best results. Also, it should be noted that not all tumors flourish by the growth of new blood vessels thus, at the Aidan Clinic, each patient gets therapy designed specifically for that person.

The C-Statin gelatin capsules can be pulled apart to access the powdered ingredient. This powder can then be dissolved in water to make a liquid formula. I haven't tried this technique with C-Statin, so I can't say for sure if the powder will be perfectly dissolved or not, or how easily it could be fed through a stomach tube. I have not seen C-Statin in anything but capsule form.

IXHAVE PROSTATE CANCER SINCE JUL/02, AND HAVE BEEN ON WATCHFULCWAITING. sO FAR THERE HAS BEEN NO APPARENT SYMPTOMS SO FAR.FURTHER i HAVE HYPERTENSION AND NOW DIABERES ONE AND NSULIN DEPEDENDEN.lAST YEAR i HAD A HEART CATERIZATION AND STENT WAS ALSO PUT IN.i ASKED MY DOCTOERS THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY OPION.i ALSO HAVE KIDNEY TRANSPLANT SINCE JUL/96 AND TAKE IMMUNO SUPPRESSANT MDICINES.WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THAT i COULD TAKE C-STATINS OR NOT.i WOULD APPECIATE TO HEAR. i AM NOW 67Thx

It sounds like you have a lot to deal with, and for that we wish you the best of luck in the management and hopeful improvement of your state of health. C-Statin is classified as an 'herbal drug', however it is something that we carry. The decision whether or not to try should be made only after thoughtful and informative consultation with your healthcare provider. It is not a decision that we are qualified to make, or even one that we would feel comfortable making. Your healthcare provider will be able to formulate a treatment program that is best-suited for you, taking into account the full scope of your health condition and history, while identifying any potential conflicts or interactions of medication and supplements within that program.
The best we can do is pass on some useful information to you about C-Statin. Ultimately, however, the decision is yours and information is extremely valuable in the treatment of any health condition. The more information, the more options, and the more you can regain some sense of control over your situation, the better. If you are not getting helpful answers or opinions from your doctors, or if they simply do not know, please look elsewhere and search out qualified practitioners who can make you aware of the many options that are out there. Getting information from as many sources as possible is your right and certainly one of your best weapons.
C-Statin is a group of proteoglycan molecules (PGM) isolated from Bindweed (Convulvulus arvensis), a common garden weed. Its actions are anti-angiogenesis meaning it inhibits the production of new blood vessels (As tumors grow, they secrete substances that promote new blood vessel growth). It may also have the added benefit of enhancing immunity. The combintation of angiogenesis inhibiting compounds plus immuno-stimulants may be responsible for its potential, but not conclusive, tumor-shrinking effects. A few animal and in vitro studies have shown some promise, but results with humans fall under the category of anecdotal evidence. In short, it shows a lot of promise in the treatment of cancer, but further studies are necessary.
Directions
A group of proteoglycan molecules (PGMs) isolated from the plant Convolvulus arvensis have been shown to exhibit potent angiogenesis inhibition. PGMs have been tested using a chick chorio-allantoic membrane (CAM) assay and at non-toxic concentrations were able to halt new blood vessel growth and formation
C-Statin is a proprietary extract of Convolvulus arvensis that contains high concentrations of active PGMs.

Additional Information
The Aidan Clinic is a research-based facility that provides state-of-the-art complementary therapies to people with cancer. Our goal is to provide the best non-toxic integrative and alternative care.
Aidan has developed and pioneered a unique treatment approach designed to help stimulate a person's own immune system to recognize and attack tumor cells. Our philosophy includes the belief that defective or inadequate antigen (cell surface information) presentation and inadequate T cell recognition of tumor cells are the root cause of the development of most malignancies. We also strongly believe that people with malignancies can have a much higher requirement of vitamin C and that vitamin C, given in adequate intravenous doses, can exert potent anti-tumor effects.
We further believe that the use of effective inhibitors of angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth) is a useful anti-tumor strategy by itself and enhances the effectiveness of immune-based therapies.
Clinical research has shown that there are five basic anti-tumor strategies:
Direct cytoxicity (cell killing)
Angiogenesis inhibition (cutting off blood supply to tumors)
Apoptosis induction (programmed cell death)
Redifferentiation (cells revert back to normal)
Immune system boosting
Our goal is to induce your body to achieve these anti-tumor effects through a combination of safe, non-toxic therapies.
