A (t) As we mentionned
in the article published in N°23 of our paper "Sida
Tout Va Bien", and in the article appearing on our Internet
website <http://www.positifs.org/ (chapter
C.14.), shark
cartilage may have an interest in some diseases.
Some of its components,
alkyls glycerols, would have an action on certain tumors.
Another of its components, an angiogenesis inhibitor (small
vessels formation appearing excessively and anarchically in
some diseases), wich composition is unknown because of the
existence of a patent, would have an action on diseases
involving an angiogenesis anomaly : Kaposi's Sarcoma (in
AIDS), some solid tumors (prostate, uterus, colon),
rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, diabetic
retinopathy.
Concerning pigmental
retinitis and Crohn disease, we have no information of the
possible action of shark cartilage. You may contact Mr
Thierry Lerond (Nutrilys, 18 av. M. Anthonioz, 01220 Divonne
les Bains, France ; Tel : +33 (0)4 50 20 40 22, Fax : +33
(0)4 50 20 77 76).
Concerning Crohn disease,
it is an immunologic disease, wich anomaly is close to the
rheumatoid arthritis. We can ask if shark cartilage would't
have an interest ; but we hadn't time to see if Crohn
disease is caracterised by an angiogenesis anomaly, which
would be an argument to consider this treatment.
