MIXTURE OF 4 INGREDIENTS AND NEVER FEAR CANCER OR ANY TUMORS!


We were skeptic at first as well. But after researching and reading we found this to be true. We are sharing this post with you in order to spread the information. This amazing homemade mixture can prevent and treat cancer and tumors.

This mixture only requires 4 simple ingredients: turmeric, black pepper, ginger and some olive oil! Yes, that’s it! Just take a look at the article below and find out more about this mixture!

Turmeric is one of the healthiest spices in the world. The main and most powerful compound, found in turmeric, is curcumin. This powerful compound is extremely beneficial for the human body and it can provide many health benefits. Curcumin has powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties. Note: you should know that turmeric supplements are available in capsules, tincture or liquid extracts.

The other ingredient, black pepper, is also extremely powerful and it can provide many health benefits. The black pepper is extremely powerful. Its key compound is piperine, which is similar to capsaicin, the chemical in chili.

These 2 powerful compounds, curcumin and piperine, are beneficial and even more powerful when they are combined. Black pepper improves bioavailability of turmeric because most of the ingested curcumin gets metabolized before it can get absorbed. This boosts the amount of any drug or supplement that can be absorbed by the body. The medical experts have examined these 2 compounds, piperine and curcumin, for their benefit to prevent breast cancer.

These two powerful compounds inhibit mammosphere formation. Studies have revealed that the combination of turmeric and black pepper could target breast stem cells. Both compounds don’t affect normal breast tissue. In a recent study, conducted by group of researchers at the University of Michigan, cancer cells were injected with a powerful solution of piperine and curcumin that was around 20 times stronger than what is normally consumed through food.

You will need the following ingredients:

– ¼ teaspoon of Turmeric powder
– ½ teaspoon of Olive Oil
– A pinch of Black pepper
– ½ tsp. of ginger

Preparation:

Just mix these 4 ingredients and add them in your favorite soup, salad or meal. Enjoy!

About the Ingredients:

Black pepper – how this works: well, this amazing spice boosts the absorption of curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric. According to a recent study, piperine, the active ingredient in black pepper, promotes the absorption of curcumin by 2,000 % and increases its bioavailability to a great level.

Ginger– this super healthy root has powerful anti-cancer, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It has the ability to block cancer-causing factors and inhibit inflammation. Ginger is commonly used in the treatment of nausea and vomiting, and some claim that it stimulates a healthy fat-melting process and detoxification.

Turmeric– we can easily say that turmeric is one of the healthiest spices in the world! And yes, it’s the strongest ingredient in this recipe! This super healthy spice has powerful anti-cancer, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The experts say that chronic inflammation is the underlying cause of diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Curcumin is a phytochemical that gives turmeric its anti-inflammatory potential. Science has confirmed that turmeric-based treatments provide an amazing effect in the fight against pancreatic, ovarian, breast, prostate, brain and colon cancer.

Extra tip – you can also add Frankincense oil in this powerful mixture. This powerful and super healthy oil works great with turmeric, and many experts around the world say that it can provide chemo-like effect, without all the bad side-effects. it’s very simple – you just have to add 2-3 drops of this amazing oil under your tongue, preferably 2-3 times a day. You can also rub some of it onto your neck.

Try this mixture in your dishes and prevent cancer or tumors. We really hope you find this article helpful and don’t forget to share it with your friends and family. Thank You!

20 Deadly Cancer Signs Most Women Neglect


Never wait for a checkup to see if cancer is present. See what your body says and see some changes like unexplained and odd signs. These are the most common:

1. Short breath/wheezing- this is a sign of lung cancer

2. Chronic cough/chest pain- a few cancer types like tumors and leukemia, cause bad coughs or bronchitis imitation.. some cancers like the lung one cause pain in the chest that goes down the shoulder and the arm.

3. Often occurs to get fevers and infections- this could be leukemia, cancer of the blood where blood cells are infectioneus where the bone is marrow. This issue creates strange white blood cells and removes all shields and energy of the body.

4. Hard time swallowing- this could mean throat/esophageal cancer that could go hand in hand with lung cancer.

5. Swelling in lymph nodes, neck, armpits and groin- these enlarged nodes mean the lymph system is affected and could be cancer.

6. A lot of bruises and bleedings that don’t stop- this means abnormal issues; when the red blood cells are affected it can be leukemia. With time, the leukemia cells increase more than red cells and platelets so the blood cannot transfer enough oxygen and clot.

7. Fatigue/weakness- in general this is not scary. But if it happens all the time it could be some cancer that has no obvious signs. If you feel tired for no reason, talk to a doctor.

8. Abdomen weight gain and bloating- usually women with ovary cancer report such bloating and weight gain in the belly. All out of a sudden.

9. Satiety and low appetite- another sign for cancer and even ovary cancer, women reported less appetite than normal.

10. Pelvic pain/abdomen pain- this pain and cramps around the pelvis go with bloating too and mean ovary cancer. Leukemia also causes this from the enlargement of the spleen.

11. Bloody stool/rectal bleeding- this is a result of colorectal cancer. The blood on the TP is a reason enough to seek medical advise.

12. Strange weight loss- this could be sign of rectal cancer and digestive organ cancers. It might
spread to the liver and reduce appetite since the body cannot expel waste material properly.

13. Upset belly/belly ache- these cramps also mean colorectal cancer.

14. Red/swollen, sore breasts- this is obvious breast cancer.

15. Nipple change- the most common change before a final diagnosis is made. The nipple might be inverted, flat or sideways.

16. Painful and strange periods or in between period spotting- this might be uterus cancer. Do a trans-vaginal ultrasound if you have heavier periods.

17. Swollen face- some lung cancer patients have puffy face, swollen or red face; this might be because lung tumors(small) can block chest blood vessels and the blood flow doesn’t reach the face.

18. Sore/skin lump that is crusty or bleeds- the melanoma, skin cancer or basal cell melanoma/squamous cell carcinoma. Check every tiny skin area.

19. Changed nails- some strange nail changes can indicate cancer too. Brown/blackish dots under nails can be skin cancer. Also the nail curving down the finger over the tip also could be lung cancer, but not certainly. If the nails are too pale and whitish, it can be liver cancer.

20. Back pain and lower back right side pain- a lot of cancer patients indicated this as liver cancer sign. Also breast cancer can do this since the tumor presses back to the chest or spine and ribs.

What special food slashes your risk of lung cancer?


A regular serving of garlic could help to reduce your risk of lung cancer, according to scientists in China who have been studying the food’s potential. But before you get excited and start adding it to every dish you make, bear in mind that it needs to be raw!


Bad for Your Breath but Good for Your Lungs?


Scientists from China and the University of California, Los Angeles set about studying the protective effects of garlic (Allium sativum) after a number of previous experiments suggested the bulb-shaped plant may help to prevent cancer. The researchers looked at data on almost 6,000 people in China, including 1,424 lung cancer patients. Participants agreed to do face-to-face interviews so that the researchers could get an idea of their dietary habits and other lifestyle factors.



The researchers discovered that people who ate raw garlic at least twice per week had a reduced risk of being diagnosed with lung cancer. In fact, eating raw garlic this regularly was associated with a 44% reduced risk of the disease. And even in smokers, the risk of lung cancer was reduced by around 30%.

Writing in the journal Cancer Prevention Research, the scientists concluded that raw garlic “may potentially serve as a chemopreventive agent for lung cancer” but that more studies are needed to determine the exact components in the bulbs that provide these benefits.[1]


What’s So Good About Garlic?



As the researchers admitted, nobody really knows how garlic might help to ward off lung cancer. But the link may well be due to an organosulfur chemical called allicin, which releases bioactive compounds when garlic is crushed or chopped. It is used by the plant to protect against pests and appears to have protective effects inside the human body as well. Research suggests that allicin may help to dampen chronic inflammation – a key factor in the growth and spread of tumors.

Another possibility is that the selenium in garlic may be responsible for its anti-cancer properties. It impacts upon DNA repair, cell death and the body’s hormone and immune systems, all of which could explain its potentially beneficial effects against cancer. Research published in the Journal of Nutrition[2] in 2006 found evidence that selenium compounds in garlic may have a role in cancer prevention and a number of other studies have found the mineral to be effective at warding off various types of cancer. In addition, a Cochrane review published in 2011[3] found that higher intakes of selenium were associated with a significantly reduced risk of cancer.


What Other Types Of Cancer May Garlic Fight?


According to the Association for International Cancer Research, garlic and other members of the allium family of vegetables probably protect against stomach cancer. The association also says that garlic in particular probably decreases the risk of bowel cancer. In addition, lab studies have provided evidence that components of garlic may slow or even halt the growth of prostate, bladder, bowel and stomach tumors.


Quitting Smoking Still the Best Way to Prevent Lung Cancer


broken cigarrete inspiration for quite smoking
Even if you decide to give garlic a try, the best way to avoid lung cancer is definitely to give up smoking. Almost nine out of ten cases of lung cancer are related to cigarette smoking, with a further 3% of cases caused by exposure to other people’s smoke. Although it takes a number of years for the lungs to recover, your risk of lung cancer will start to fall as soon as you give up.

Pumpkin Seeds Can Help Kill Cancer Cells, Improve Your Eyesight and Fight Diabetes


Pumpkin seeds—also known as pepitas are flat, dark green seeds. Some are encased in a yellow-white husk (often called the “shell”), although some varieties of pumpkins produce seeds without shells. Most of us think it is too much work to deal with cleaning and roasting the pumpkin seeds or do not see any nutritional and healthy value in them, for whatever reason we throw away these nature’s perfect foods. After reading this you will never wasting your pumpkin seeds.


  • While antioxidant nutrients are found in most WH Foods, it is the diversity of antioxidants in pumpkin seeds that makes them unique in their antioxidant support. Pumpkin seeds contain conventional antioxidant vitamins like vitamin E. However, not only do they contain vitamin E, but they contain it in a wide variety of forms. 
  • 1/2 cup of pumpkin seeds contains 92% of your daily value of magnesium. Most Americans are magnesium deficient. Being one of the most vital minerals, it is responsible for over 300 different biochemical reactions which are essential for your body to function properly.
  • Pumpkin seeds are loaded with zinc. They seeds have long been valued as a special source of the mineral zinc, and the World Health Organization recommends their consumption as a good way of obtaining this nutrient. To get full zinc benefits from your pumpkin seeds, you may want to consume them in unshelled form. 
  • Pumpkin seeds naturally boost testosterone and do wonders for male sexual health. The nutrients contained in pumpkin seeds such as vitamins B, C, D, E, and K play a very important role in libido. Additionally, as mentioned before pumpkin seeds are loaded with zinc which is the power behind high testosterone levels.
  • Pumpkin seeds improve mood and diminish hot flashes. Pumpkin seeds can also help improve your mood as they contain tryptophan which is needed to produce serotonin in the brain. Pumpkin seeds can also help with hot flashes due to the magnesium, which helps to balance your body temperature.
  • Pumpkin seeds can fight cancer because they contain compounds known as cucurbitacins.  A New study, found that these compounds are known to fight cancer and kill different types of cancer cells. Moreover, since oxidative stress is known to play a role in the development of some cancers, and pumpkin seeds are unique in their composition of antioxidant nutrients, it’s not surprising to find some preliminary evidence of decreased cancer risk in association with pumpkin seed intake. 

Pumpkin seeds can help you with Insomnia.  Tryptophan, contained in pumpkin seeds, is an amino acid that aids in the production of melatonin and serotonin, which is responsible for our sleep/wake cycle.  Thus, eating pumpkin seeds will help you fall asleep easier.

Natural remedy, 10 times more efficient than chemotherapy


In case you are wondering how is possible that most of us are not familiar with the fact that there is a natural remedy for cancer, the answer is that the big corporations are keeping us in the dark. They want to get back their money spent for researches about making a synthetic version of it.

That natural remedy is actually derived from the fruit of Guyabano/Graviola tree or the Sour Sop. It is amazingly efficient and stronger than the chemotherapy.  You can even use it as prevention by drinking the Soursop occasionally. It is completely natural, it doesn’t have side effects and the taste is bearable. You can even plant it in your garden, if you have one.


Due to the drug makers, many people lost the battle with the cancer by being kept in the dark. They simply didn’t know about the powerful Graviola tree and its beneficial effects.
The tree has several names. It is called Guyabano or Graviola in Brazil, Guanabana in Spanish and Soursop in English. It is a low tree but the fruits are quite large. The secret lies in the sweet white pulp, used for making sherbets or fruit drinks.


The truth about the plant is quite simple:  It grows deep in the Amazon Rainforest and it can change what most of the people think about the cancer treatment and the chances of survival.


So, the most important thing about this plant is that it is proven remedy for all types of cancer.  It is effective for many diseases too and it has anti-tumor effects. Actually, the main interest about the plant is due to its powerful anti-cancer effects.


However, the Graviola is a great antimicrobial agent for fungal and bacterial infections too. It lowers the high blood pressure, it is effective against internal parasites and worms and moreover, it can be used for nervous disorders, stress and depression

There was a research according to which this plant has the following beneficial effects:

• Improves your outlook on life and boosts your energy
• Avoids deadly infections and protects your immune system
• Helps you feel stronger and healthier
• Attacks the cancer effectively with a natural therapy that doesn’t cause nausea, weight loss and hair loss.

This fruit was tested in 1970’s by a one of the largest drug manufacturers in America. The company started a search for cancer cure, and it researched the Graviola plant from the Amazon Rainforest. The drug company spent 7 years trying to synthesize 2 of the most powerful anti-cancer ingredients in the Graviola tree.  They thought that if they can produce hand-made clones of what makes the Graviola that powerful, they could patent it and get the money back. However, the original couldn’t be cloned. Unable to protect its profits and get the millions poured into the research back, the company gave up.


Because the whole project, as well as the company`s dream evaporated, they decided not the publish the research. They shelved the whole project.

 
The actual results they gathered about the extracts from this tree are the following:

• The tree compounds are 10,000 times stronger in slowing the development of cancer cells than the generally used Adriamycin- chemotherapeutic drug.
• Effectively kills and targets malignant cells in 12 kinds of cancer including breast, lung, colon, pancreatic and prostate cancer.
• The extracts from the Graviola tree select and kill just the cancer cells. They don’t harm the healthy ones, unlike the chemotherapy.
• Different parts of the Graviola tree including the leaves, fruit, roots, bark and fruit-seeds have been used by native Indians and medicine men in South America long ago. They used it for treating heart disease, asthma, liver problems and arthritis.

However, the whole project was not a total failure. After calling it off, one scientist from the research team for Graviola risked his career and got in touch with a company devoted to collecting medical plants from the Amazon Rainforest.  When the information about Graviola got the ears of the researchers at the Health Sciences Institute, they started tracking the research project done on this powerful plant.


In 1976 the National Institute observed the first scientific research and they found out that the leaves and stems of this tree effectively destroy and attack malignant cells. Sadly, the results were never revealed to the public because were published in a internal report.


The same year, the Graviola has proven to be a powerful cancer killer in 20 laboratory tests.  A study that was published in the Journal of Natural Products, following a study by the Catholic University of South Korea came to a conclusion that one chemical found in the Graviola, kills cancer cells 10,000 times stronger than the chemotherapeutic drug. The most important thing is that it selects the cancer cells and destroys them without affecting the healthy ones.


Finally, a study done by Purdue University found out that the leaves of Graviola tree, having anti-cancer effects,  kill the cancer cells and successfully treat lung cancer, prostate cancer and pancreatic cancer.

The Effects of Smoking on the Liver


The Effects of Smoking on the Liver

Most people are well aware of effects of smoking on the heart and lungs. However, what you may not know is that smoking cigarettes can also severely affect your liver. The numerous toxins found in cigarette tobacco lead to chronic inflammation and scarring in the liver, which in turn, increases your risk for liver damage including diseases such as Hepatitis B and C, liver cancer and liver fibrosis. Additionally, smoking affects the way your liver processes alcohol and medications, which can increase your risk for alcoholism as well as your overall drug and alcohol tolerance levels.

How Cigarettes Hurt Your Liver

Think of your liver as your body's natural filter. It's the liver's responsibility to prevent harmful toxins from entering the bloodstream. In addition, your liver helps your body metabolize sugars and carbohydrates, and regulates the flow of bile, the substance that aids in the digestion process. Humans cannot survive without a liver and when the organ is agitated, the body's immune system weakens and becomes more susceptible to disease and infection. Additionally, N-Nitrosodiethylamine, one of the many chemicals found in cigarettes, can cause liver tumors. Another chemical, N-Nitrosopyrrolidine, is proven to contribute to liver cancer. Arsenic, another ingredient found in the smoke you inhale, is also known to increase your risk of developing liver cancer.

Why You Crave Nicotine

Oddly enough, your liver is also partly responsible for your nicotine addiction. When you inhale smoke, your liver produces enzymes that help your body clear out the toxins through your urine. One particular enzyme is specifically responsible for filtering out nicotine. Therefore, as your liver produces more and more of this enzyme, the nicotine leaves your body much faster. Remember that nicotine is the most addictive ingredient found in smoke and is therefore responsible for most smokers' craving for cigarettes. With each cigarette you smoke, your body produces more of this enzyme and the nicotine leaves your system. This means that, as you smoke more cigarettes, more enzymes are created and nicotine leaves your body more quickly. While this fact seems beneficial, it actually contributes to your addiction--because the nicotine is leaving so quickly, your body demands more, which leads to that overwhelming sensation to smoke. Fortunately, studies reveal that by quitting smoking, you drastically reduce your health risks and after 15 years of not smoking, your body will be in the same condition as that of a nonsmoker. This, of course, is if your body is not already damaged. So if you've smoked for a long time, now may be the time to quit...before it's too late.

Home Remedies for Breast Cancer


Home remedies for breast cancer include garlic, broccoli, grapes, wheatgrass, green tea, lignans, soybean, vitamin D, calcium, and a well-balanced diet. Breast cancer refers to the malignant growth of tissues of the breast. These can be categorized as ductal, lobular, or inflammatory based on the place of origin. It can be caused due to consumption of alcoholic beverages, radiation therapy of the breast, a first child being born at an old age, old age, intake of progesterone or estrogen, and a number of other unspecified health factors and behavioral habits.

Breast cancer can be detected by several early symptoms, some of which include regular discharge from the nipple and nipples becoming inverted. Home remedies for breast cancer are available, not necessarily to cure breast cancer, but to boost the immune system or kill the cancerous tissues to a certain extent. Still, proper lifestyle and eating habits are recommended for longevity and survival rate improvement of breast cancer patients.

Please note that the home remedies for breast cancer are available not for treating the disease completely, but for decreasing its negative aspects to an extent. Breast cancer, as the name implies, is the malignant growth of tissues within the breast. The uncontrolled proliferation of cells can ultimately lead to the death of individual if it becomes metastasized or if it is not removed by surgery.

The breast is composed of several lobes and ducts. The lobes function in the production of milk, which is carried via the ducts to the nipples. Breast cancer is separated into 3 types. These are ductal, lobular or inflammatory. Ductal originates in the ducts, while lobular begins in the lobes. Inflammatory breast cancer refers to those in which breasts are swelled, warm and red. Out of the three, ductal breast cancer is the most common.

According to the National Cancer Institute, the following risk factors are involved in the development of breast cancer:


  • Old age
  • First childbirth at an old age
  • Family history
  • Prior breast treatment with radiation therapy
  • Consumption of alcoholic beverages
  • Intake of progesterone and estrogen hormones

Breast cancer is characterized by the following symptoms:

  • Lump in the underarm region or near the breast
  • Increased discharge from the breast
  • Nipples become inverted
  • Change in texture or morphology of breast like scaliness, unevenness, swelling, or reduction in size
  • Increased heat radiating from the breast
  • Pain is not felt even when pressure is applied

Recent research study provides information on ‘high-priority’ chemicals that may cause breast cancer in women. Though not yet curable, breast cancer can be prevented by certain precautionary measures and a balanced lifestyle. Once induced, it cannot be stopped, but by eating a healthy nutritious diet designed for cancer patients, one can ward off incoming pathogens and activate the immune system to fight against the cancer cells.  Research published in Journal of the American College of Nutrition lists foods to be avoided to reduce risk of cancer. An additional dietary regimen should be followed as the patient undergoes chemical or radiation therapy that tends to show various side effects like hair lossand nausea.

Home Remedies for Breast Cancer

Some of the home remedies for breast cancer are explained in further detail below.

Garlic: It is well known that garlic has certain antibiotic properties which can be used to get rid of various infectious agents like bacteria, yeast, and fungi. According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), presence of alkyl sulphur compounds makes it a very good anti-cancer agent. It does so by causing the malignant cells to undergo natural cell death, also known as apoptosis. It also plays an important role in activating the immune cells against cancerous cells. It is always better to eat garlic in raw form as an oil, clove or powdered substance, rather than consuming it in a cooked form.

Broccoli: Broccoli contains the linamarase gene that when present inside cancer cells can breakdown into cyanide and effectively kill tumorous cells.

Grapes: Grapes contain a compound called proanthocyanidins that reduces the body’s estrogen production. This results in the effective treatment of breast cancer, as is evident from the clinical trials performed over several breast cancer patients. The study showed that the extract of grapes affects breast cancer tumors that are hormone-sensitive. A drug called doxorubicin was also found to enhance its anti-tumor activity by consuming grapes juice or extract everyday as a supplemental treatment.

Wheatgrass: This widely praised type of health grass is known to be advantageous to cancer patients. Wheatgrass, when taken in the form of juice or raw is shown to regress cancer cells’ growth as demonstrated by the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre. It has the ability to enhance the immune system, and rids your body of toxins and waste products.

Green Tea: Prepare herbal green tea by boiling some amount of tea leaves in a glass of water till it reduces to half. This has anti-inflammatory properties and is very effective against breast cancer formation.

Lignans: Lignans are present in the seeds of sunflower, cashews, strawberries, flaxseed, and peanuts. These compounds prevent estrogen-dependent tumors by slowing down their rate of growth and progression. Any of these items can be incorporated in the daily diet chart and should be used as frequently as possible.

Vitamin D: Vitamin D intake has been associated with a lower risk of breast cancer. This can be found in milk, eggs, and cod liver oil, but not in cheese and yogurt.
Exercise: Research suggests that exercising an hour daily reduces the risk of contracting breast cancer in women of any age and any weight. Research also suggests that physical activity and healthy diet may help to reduce risk of cancer.

Low calorie diet: Research suggests that low calorie diet may slow down the spread of breast cancer.

Soybean: This is one of the known dietary elements that are considered to be an absolute must for breast cancer patients. According to the MD Anderson Cancer Center, it contains phytoestrogens and several other entities that block cancerous cells from using estrogen. It also contains isoflavones needed for the prevention of cancer at early stages. It can be taken either as sprouts or as a cooked vegetable.

Olive Oil: Olive oil is known for its health benefits. It also reduces risk of cancer. Recent research study suggests that hydroxytyrosol, a major component of olive oil may help prevent breast cancer in postmenopausal women.

Calcium: It is important to consume calcium, especially in the pre-menopausal period for women. It has been shown to reduce breast cancer risk in a number of different studies. Foods rich in calcium are canned salmon, orange juice, almonds and green vegetables.

Beneficial Diet: According to a recent study, intake of vegetable protein, vegetable fat, dietary fiber, and nuts during adolescence may help to reduce risk of  breast cancer. It is good to have cucumbers, carrots, bananas, corn, spinach, peas and lentils for patients suffering from cancer. These can be consumed in soups. Lentils can also be eaten as sprouts as they are rich in protein.

Harmful Diet: It is advised to cut down on hot dogs, beef, lamb and pork, since they contain a high amount of saturated fats. Eating less of these types of red meat will reduce the risk of prostate and colon cancer.

Soursop Cancer Cures


Soursop, also known as graviola, is a fruit of a tree that originates in the forests of South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. According to Cancer Research UK, native people in these regions used the soursop fruit to treat illnesses and diseases. During the latter part of the 20th century, soursop gained attention as a natural cancer cell killer. Although not marketed by physicians, you can easily find extracts of the fruit online to purchase and consume.

Cancer Treatment

Soursop is marketed to help cure various types of cancer, and to help cells that are resistant to chemotherapy, particularly that of the liver and breast. According to budubelacan.com, soursop can be used in place of chemotherapy without any harsh side effects, such as hair loss, nausea, and weight loss. Also, soursop does not kill healthy cells like chemotherapy, states budubelacan.com.

Studies on graviola's effectiveness against cancer began in the 1970s. Blackherbals.com states that a prominent study was conducted by the National Cancer Institute in 1976, which focused on soursop's phytochemicals known as annonaceous acetogenins (Reference 1). Also, according to budubelacan.com, a study conducted by the Catholic University of South Korea found that soursop was 10,000 times more effective at killing colon cancer cells than chemotherapy (Reference 2). Since then, numerous other studies have been conducted on soursop as a possible cure for cancer, but nothing has been set in stone by the U.S. government (Reference 1). There is some speculation that the soursop fruit is being kept a secret from the public in fear that major drug companies will lose money, states budubelacan.com.

Where to Get It

Soursop is readily available for sale through the internet. According to Cancer Research UK, they are sold in the form of capsules, which you take up to four times a day. A dosage consists of two capsules, so a 100 capsule supply will last just under two weeks, when taken as directed. Soursop also comes in the form of fruit juice and powder. You can even plant a soursop tree in your garden and eat the ripe fruit's white pulp.

Considerations

Although soursop is used in alternative medicine to help cure cancer, according to Cancer Research UK, there is not enough evidence of the fruit curing cancer in humans for it to be considered a mainstream form of treatment. In fact, the organization discovered that in some people, soursop causes nerve damage that is similar to Parkinson's Disease. The bottom line is to consult your doctor or oncologist before attempting to cure cancer with soursop.

Carrot Juice for Cancer


Drinking carrot juice is one of the best ways to prevent cancer or fight cancer. According to the "Antioxidant Miracle," carrot juice provides powerful antioxidants that support health and the immune system. Eating raw or cooked carrots are great ways to obtain vitamins, minerals and even fiber, yet it would be difficult to consume enough carrots in your daily routine to meet your body's cancer prevention needs. The juice from 1 lb. of raw carrots makes one glass of juice.

Nutrients

Carrots contain the cartenoid alpha carotene, beta-carotene and potent antioxidants. Recent studies published in the "Antioxidant Miracle," indicate that alpha carotene is a more potent cancer preventative and fighter than even beta-carotene. Carrots contain one of the few cartenoids with pro Vitamin A activity, which means that the body converts the beta-carotene into Vitamin A as needed. In addition, carrots contain calcium pectate, a source of soluble fiber, Vitamin B-complex, C, D, E and K, iron, calcium and phosphorous and manganese.

Preparation

Remove the tops from the carrots. Use organic carrots for juicing to ensure that you do not introduce pesticides into your juice. Wash the organic carrots before juicing, but do not peel them. If you do not use organic carrots, wash them using a vegetable wash solution to remove pesticides and scrape the peel, if desired, before juicing. The authors from "Juicing for Life, recommend preparing carrot juice to work in combinations with other nutrient-filled vegetables, to boost nutrients to fight cancer.

Tips

Serve your juice immediately after juicing. According to "Juicing for Life," that is when the juice is at its peak for flavor and antioxidants. If you cannot drink your juice immediately, cover the glass and refrigerate the juice so that it does not oxidize. Begin and end juicing with the softest vegetables or fruits. For example, to create an apple-carrot cocktail, begin with half of the apple, then add the carrots next and end with the remaining half of the apple.

Prevent Cancer

Since cancer is a complex disease, preventing what causes cancer is equally as complex. From research taken from the "Antioxidant Miracle," one of the best cancer preventative methods is to juice not only raw carrots, but carrots in combination with foods that have equal cancer fighting properties such as ginger root, garlic, apples, celery, green peppers, onion, spinach and parsley. For a cleansing carrot juice drink, add a ¼-inch of fresh ginger, one peeled raw beet and half of an apple.

Fight Cancer

Authors from "Prescription for Cooking," recommend creating carrot juice cocktails that are beneficial as cancer fighters. Add to your carrots juiced collard greens, kale, parsley and spinach for additional sources of cancer fighting beta-carotene. To add more Vitamin C in your diet, add kale, parsley, green pepper or broccoli with two carrots daily. Since juicers do not juice bananas, avoid adding them to the juicer. Carrots blend well with nearly every other fruit and are as delicious as they are refreshing.
