Cancer treatment. Where can I get L-arginase and L-asperaginase amino acids supplements or are they bacteria?

I read that amino acids arginase and asperaginase have powerful anti tumor properties. Where can I get them?

PS arginase is not arginine.

    Well, for l-asparaginase, you'll need a diagnosis of leukemia and a treatment protocol that includes the drug.  Then you'll need a chemo certified nurse to administer it to you.  It's not a supplement you can just purchase like a vitamin.

    Call a pharmacy and ask them.  L-asperaginase is available with a prescription -drug called Elspar.  I'm not aware of a source for L-arginase.
