Definition: Actinotherapy is a term coined by Dr. David D. Gouwen who specializes in cancer research at the University of California, San Francisco. It's an innovative approach to cancer therapy that uses synthetic glycosaminoglycans (SAGs) which are naturally occurring molecules found in bone and muscle tissue. They're used as therapeutic agents to treat a variety of diseases including cancer, inflammatory disorders, neurological conditions, autoimmune diseases, and more. The goal of actinotherapy is to stimulate the body's own healing mechanisms that can reverse or prevent disease progression through natural means without the use of pharmaceutical drugs. Actinopathy involves the loss of muscle tissue in various forms. This loss of muscle tissue leads to a reduction in strength, flexibility, and mobility. In many cases, this causes patients to experience pain during everyday activities like walking, lifting heavy objects, running, swimming, etc. The main goal of actinotherapy is to increase the supply of natural compounds within the body that can repair and replace the lost muscle tissue. It's a way to stimulate the body's own healing process without using drugs that can have negative effects on the patient's health. Actinopathy involves a complex interplay of genetics, environment, lifestyle, and diet that can affect individual responses to actinopathy. For example, some individuals may be more susceptible or resistant than others to certain forms of actinopathy due to their unique genetic makeup or underlying conditions.
