Some Anti Cancer Herbs

Jide Uwechia

It should be understood at the outset that cancer is mostly benign cellular growth in the body that normally gets taken care of by the internal bodily system. Human cells are constantly making cancerous mutations and growth every day but 95% to 99% of these get killed off by the immune system before they become problematic or malignant.

There are many natural and effective means of getting rid of those 5% – 1% of cancer cells that become malignant. There are many types of food, juices, oils, enema, herbs, salts, minerals and nutrients that get rid of cancer cells.

Cancers can be controlled and cured. There is nothing extra odinary about them. The cancer industry, those that profit from the misery of sick people and make billions off the back of the ignorant and the unaware would have you believe that cancer is a death sentence. But that is a lie!

Keeping in mind that cancers are mostly benign growths, take note of the list of herbs detailed below, for they contain some of the hidden knowledge that could save millions of life from the grief and agony proclaimed and imposed against humanity by the cancer-profiting industry and their industrialized hospitals. These power herbs are:

CHLORELLA (a strong anti-cancer superfood):

One of the most powerful weapons against cancer is chlorella — a unicellular, green algae.

Chlorell contains a dense concentration of chlorophyll, as well as protein (nearly 58 percent), carbohydrates, all of the B vitamins, vitamins C and E, amino acids (including all nine essential ones), enzymes and rare trace minerals.

It is a power pack stimulator of the immune system boosting performance above optimal level. A well-boosted immune system easily and efficiently kills off pre-cancerous and cancerous growths inside the body.

Chlorella acts as a preventative measure against cancer by raising blood levels of the protein albumin. Numerous test-tube studies have confirmed that raising albumin levels can both prevent cancerous changes and extend the life span of human cells

Japanese scientists placed lab mice on a chlorella regimen for ten days as part of a scientific study. They then injected the mice with three types of cancer. The study showed that over 70 percent of the chlorella-strengthened mice did not develop cancer, while all of the untreated mice died within 20 days.

SPIRULINA (anti-cancer superfood containing phytochemicals known to destroy breast cancer tumors),

The blue-green microalgae plant spirulina often used in daily diets of Africans has been found to be a rich natural source of proteins, carotenoids and other micronutrients. Experimental studies in animal models have demonstrated an inhibitory effect of spirulina algae on oral carcinogenesis.

Spirulina is demonstrably one of the most concentrated natural sources of nutrition known. It contains all the essential amino acids, as well as chlorophyll, beta-carotene, its co-factors, and many other natural phytonutrients. This green food rich in GLA essential fatty acid. GLA stimulates growth in some animals, enriches and emollifies the skin and hair

GLA also acts as an anti-inflammatory, it is quite efficient in controlling pains and other symptoms of arthritic conditions.

Spirulina increases the beneficial intestinal flora, especially Lactobacillus and Bifidus. Maintaining a healthy population of these bacteria in the intestine reduces potential problems from opportunistic pathogens like E. coli and Candida albicans. Yeast and fungus like candida are found in every cancer patient, and every HIV patinet. There is a medical school which believes that cancer is actually the body’s reaction to infestation of yeast, moulds.

Several studies show spirulina or its extracts can prevent or inhibit cancers in humans and animals.

There is a theory that the common forms of cancer are a result of the abnormal function of damaged cell DNA which usually causes uncontrolled cell growth.

In vitro studies suggest the unique polysaccharides of spirulina enhance cell nucleus enzyme activity and DNA repair synthesis.

There are nmerous well designed clinical and laboratory research studies which have confirmed the potency of Spirulina against different kinds of cancer.

Furthermore, scientists find that Spirulina stimulates the immune system. It also actually enhances the body’s ability to generate new blood cells. Its noted booster effect on the immune and the blood system may partly explain its potency against cancer.

It also enhances spleen and thymus glands functions.

GRAVIOLA (an Amazonian herb known for its powerful ability to destroy cancer cells),

Graviola, or Annona muricata, is a tropical fruit that grows in South America and Africa. It is also called called soursop, or guanababa.

The Graviola fruit, leaves, bark and roots have been used as extensively in herbal medicine. It has been found to have amazing healing properties.

African and Native South American healers used the tree to heal liver, asthma, heart problems as well as arthritis.

The active ingredients in Graviola are called Annonaceous acetogenins. Graviola produces these natural compounds in its leaf and stem, bark, and fruit seeds. Three separate research groups have confirmed the significant antitumorous properties of these substances. The compounds are selectively toxic against various types of cancer cells (without harming healthy cells). Acetogenins have demonstrated selective toxicity to tumor cells at very low dosages—as little as 1 part per million.

LICORICE ROOT (a more popular anti-cancer herb)

The ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Greeks and Hindus recognized the natural medicinal qualities of licorice. Pharaoh utankhamen was buried in his tomb with licorice root.

African and Asian herbal healers rely on its potency to treat a host of conditions ranging from malaria to digestive disorders. Today, the root is a botanical ingredient in modern Chinese medicines used to manage cancers.

A collaborative research study conducted at Rutgers etracted a novel molecule from licorice root which has the ability to stop some cancers like prostate and breast cancers and tumors. The molecule is called hydroxy-DHP (BHP). It is found in common dietary supplements made from licorice root.

Mohamed Rafi, assistant professor in the department of food science at Rutgers’ Cook College, discovered the new molecule. He and his team conclusively demonstrated that BHP stopped the growth of cancer cells in prostate and breast cancers

BHP, a small, highly specific molecule, focuses precisely on cancer cells. It works by deactivating a protein associated with tumor cells known to promote the rampant cell growth characteristic of cancer.

Liquorice could also offer valuable protection against sunburn and skin cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute in the US, when applied to the skin, liquorice extract helps combat UV damage and can reduce sunburn by acting as a powerful anti-inflammatory.

Researchers at the Institute of Chinese Medical Science in Taiwan have now shown that the active molecule glycyrrhizin (found in Liquorice) blocks AP-1, a protein that can cause inflammation and cancer.

According to scientific report of a study carried out in Vanderbilt University Medical Center a chemical component of licorice played an effective in preventing colorectal cancer without the adverse side effects of other preventive therapies.
