Akt3 melanoma trigger (source of veggie treatment reports)

Akt3 is a protein active in most melanoma cells
and appears related to the spread of the disease.

ISC-4 and ISC-6 (isoselenocyanate) chemicals
derived from green veggies and modified with
selenium appear to block Akt3 activity with little
adverse effect.

This doesn't mean taking selenim and eating cabbage
are a treatment for melanoma however MM patients
often have low selenium
(and Vitamin D-3 - my information from other sources)
serum levels. So, what could it hurt until the
drugs are tested and approved?
