GoldSeeker: my understanding is that RECAF is related to cell division...since your body is constantly doing cell division, you will always have small levels of RECAF. in scenarios where the cell division becomes RAPID (cancer, pregnancy, etc), your RECAF levels become highly elevated. The 5k unit level seems to be the magic #.

Gold seeker, the statement refers to recaf being absent in most benign and normal cells, "most" being the operative word. This makes that statement true.

Gold Seeker, in regard to baseline levels of Recaf in normal indivuals. You need to know about the work of Dr. Judah Folkman at Boston Childrens Hospital. Alot of people believe his work in angiogenesis and angiogenesis inhibitors has he potential to eventually cure cancer. Folkman has shown the medical community that everyone has latent cancer cells in their body. Careful postmorten examinations in Boston revealed the presence of many cancer cells in healthy patients at autopsy who were otherwise cancer free. Apparently cells can become malignant, immortal, no apoptosis or cell death, and not grow into obvious tumors until what Folkman calls "The Angiogenic Switch" is turned on. These small sub clinical tumors are present in everyone, they remain small, microscopic and are nourished by diffusion of nutrients in the surrounding interstitial fluid. They have been found in the thyroid, breast, lung, liver etc. In order to become clinical cancers, grow and metastasize, they need a blood supply. This requires the growth of new blood vessels, formed by endothelial cells growning into these microsccpic foci of cancer. This is angiogenesis. What turns on this angiogenesis or ingrowth of new blood vessels is still unknown. Folkman call it "The Angiogenic Switch". The point is that we all have cancer cells normally in our body. These have Recaf receptors and it would be normal for us all to have some baseline level that would test positive with Recaf. Regards to all. Still excited about Bocx and Dr Moro's work.
