"Scientists are just starting to understand the biology of cachexia.
Part of the problem appears to be that cancer and its treatments
create inflammation -- normally a healthy response to disease -- but for
some reason it goes haywire and triggers the muscle breakdown."

"Tumor factors such as proteolysis-inducing factor and host factors
such as tumor necrosis factor-α, angiotensin II, and glucocorticoids
can all induce muscle atrophy. "

Hey Dumb Dumb, good health is NOT about reading the latest junk shown
above.

It is about consistently working on the old stuff that counts, while
ignoring ALL the noise that you time and time again post.

YOU are obviously a basket case. Just thought that YOU might want to
