Recently, I read a book written by Dr. Joseph Maroon, "The Longevity Factor – How Resveratrol and Red Wine activate Genes for a Longer and Healthier Life”. In this book, neuroscientist and surgeon Dr. Joseph Maroon, M.D., offers the definitive look at recent scientific breakthroughs identifying a group of natural substances -- including the much-publicized molecule resveratrol -- that can actually activate a specific set of genes in humans that promote a longer, healthier life.

On page 106 to 116, Dr. Maroon wrote about "The Anticancer Effect". Various researches and studies had been done on this resveratrol and other xeno factors. In summary, a substantial body of laboratory and clinical research into the protective and therapeutic potential of reveratrol and other xeno factors suggests the following mechanisms for its benefits:
- its anti-inflammatory effects, which inhibit the initial DNA mutations that lead to uncontrolled cell growth.
- its promotion of the self-destruction of cancer cells through a process called apoptosis.
- its inhibiting tumors forming new blood vessels (antiangiogenesis) to sustain themselves.
- its inhibition of cancer cells, including those found in the lung, prostate, colon, liver and skin, and in leukemias.

Resveratrol is the centerpiece of headline-making research being conducted at the Harvard Medical School and elsewhere. Only recently, scientists have discovered how to isolate resveratrol and concentrate it into an affordable and safe supplement. Already more than 200 supplements featuring resveratrol have flooded the market and there are countless more on the way. But which ones work best?

Dr. Maroon wrote a comment on Vivix on page 193. You may read his comments in Vivix brochure.

After I read this book, I believe that resveratrol can helps cancer patient.
