Function

• The goal of CAAT is to destroy cancer cells by starving them through controlled deprivation of amino acids, carbohydrates and glucose. Proteins are temporarily eliminated from the patient's diet and replaced with a formula of select amino acids. This results in several anti-cancer mechanisms. In effect, CAAT represents a natural form of chemotherapy. In addition, the treatment complements conventional chemotherapy while reducing side effects associated with anti-cancer drugs.
  
  

Glycolysis

• CAAT suppresses an enzyme called phosphofructokinase. This prevents glycolysis, rendering cancer cells incapable of producing sufficient energy to survive.
  
  

DNA Synthesis

• The production of certain amino acids required for DNA replication in cancer cells is inhibited through Controlled Amino Acid Treatment.
  
  

Angiogenesis

• With CAAT, certain amino acids in the body are increased while others, such as glycine and leucine, are reduced. This results in a decreased production of elastin, the protein necessary to carry out angiogenesis to build new build vessels.
  
  

Growth Factors

• Due to restricted protein and caloric intake during Controlled Amino Acid Treatment, human growth hormone and insulin growth factor 1, which contribute to cancer cell growth, are suppressed.
