Single Mechanism For Hypertension, Insulin Resistance And Immune Suppression
- Science Daily, 6/30/08 - "spontaneously
hypertensive rat (SHR) ... protein receptors on the surface of SHR cells
become clipped off as the animals develop hypertension. They used a novel
visualization technique to show that after several weeks of ingesting
doxycycline in their drinking water, the SHR rats developed cells that again
bristled with normal CD18 and insulin receptors. The animals' metabolic
conditions simultaneously improved; blood pressure normalized and symptoms
of immune suppression disappeared" - Note: I was taking Periostat
(low dose doxycycline, 20 mg) for two reasons, the help prevent gum disease
and to lower CRP. Now I have a third reason. See
doxycycline at OffshoreRx.com
(you can use a pill cutter to quarter the pills).

"At six-month follow-up,
sub-antimicrobial dose doxycyline significantly reduced CRP levels by 45.8 percent compared to baseline values (p<0.05). The drug was also associated with a 33.5 percent reduction in interleukin-6 and a 50 percent reduction in metalloproteinase ... The findings are
exciting, since research is now showing that CRP is both a key marker of inflammation leading to future acute coronary events, but also that CRP itself may contribute to the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis"

Blood Protein Predicts Stroke Risk - HealthDay, 6/23/03 -
"whether the substance [CRP] is an independent risk factor for these episodes or merely a reflection of narrowed and
crumbling arteries hasn't been entirely clear ... New research now suggests that the molecule, called C-reactive protein (CRP), is indeed its own oddsmaker ... The
cholesterol-fighting drugs known as statins have been shown to lower CRP by about 25 percent or so, Stein says. However, it's not clear that that effect reduces cardiovascular trouble or increases survival"

"The treatment is a cocktail of so-called anti-angiogenic drugs, which have been
widely researched for more than a decade and work by starving tumors of their blood supply. Researchers say the three-drug combination, which Haber mixed into Navy's regular dog food, targets the cancer from many angles ... When researchers heard that Navy was cancer-free after
receiving a cocktail of drugs already approved by the Food and Drug Administration — Celebrex, tamoxifen (sold as Nolvadex) and doxycycline
— the treatment became known as the Navy Protocol ... Navy's treatment, though experimental, cost $2,000"

Doxycycline inhibits the adhesion and migration of melanoma cells by
inhibiting the expression and phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK)
- Cancer Lett. 2009 May 29 - "doxycycline inhibits
the adhesion and migration of melanoma cells. Afterwards, the cells undergo
apoptosis (aniokis). Remarkably, doxycycline also inhibits the expression
and phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), a protein tyrosine
kinase involved in the regulation of cell adhesion and migration. We further
demonstrate that doxycycline down-regulates the activities of MMP-2 and
MMP-9, and its effects are stronger than those of an Integrin beta1
antibody. Finally, we suggest that doxycycline might exert its anti-tumor
effects by inhibiting FAK signaling pathway. These results provide an
insight into the possible mechanisms that underlie the multiple drug actions
of doxycycline. The potential use of doxycycline in anti-tumor treatment is
promising and warrants further studies"
