ginger for cancer

Ginger kills cancer cells

August 8, 2016

New research reveals that ginger is a powerful anti-cancer medicine. This does not mean that ginger alone is enough though. Nobody gets cured by just eating ginger, make no mistake of that. However as part of a program, we need to understand how to utilize nature’s medicine cabinet.

Ginger is delicious as hot tea sweetened with raw honey. Just don't add raw honey to boiling hot water though, wait til the tea has cooled off enough til you can sip it and then add the honey. This is because honey is heat sensitive and damages when exposed to high heat - i.e. why honey is not a good option to cook with, but instead can be added afterwards for the vast health benefits.

Add to that, ginger doesn't kill you in the process.

So Why Isn't The Cancer Industry Using Things Like Ginger Along With Other Proven Plant Medicine Remedies To Treat Cancer?

Because solving cancer will break their income stream. Make no mistake: cancer is big business, with the average cancer patient spending approx. $80,000.

There is much interest in keeping actual science-based treatment that works under cover, simply because the cancer industry needs cancer to come back in order to support repeat business.

Inflammation Is The Underlying Accelerator Of Every Cancer Disease Out There. 

Yes even those cancer cases triggered by virus. This is why ginger has shown to be of utmost importance to reverse this: ginger is one of the most potent anti-inflammatory remedies we know of together with garlic, oregano, cinnamon and turmeric. Although there are some issues with bioavailability of curcumin in turmeric, so it's a bit tricky to get the results in real life produced in the labs with turmeric and pricey curcumin supplements.

Ginger Does Not Face This Issue At All. 

The scientists found out that the mice in the study experienced a reduction in the size of prostate tumors by as much as 56% when taking 6-shoagoal, a pungent compound in ginger that is produced when the root is dried or cooked. By comparison to the treatment of control subjects, ginger proved to be a staggering 10,000x stronger. Even more importantly, this root helps patients avoid death, unlike the chemotherapy that promotes a weakened immune system and even the metastasis of cancer.

What Happens In Chemo Is That Living Tissue Is Bombarded With Chemicals And Cells Die.

However, as a result of the local damage, it is not uncommon that tumors come back later with a vengeance and spread throughout the body. Most of the times, this is what happens when a patient undergoes chemotherapy. This is why we need to be very careful when using chemotherapy - it is not suitable for all cancer types statistically speaking.

It Will Take Time Before We See Plant Medicine Used More Widely And Nutrition Therapy Prescriptions Regardless Of The Hard Facts And Science We Already Have Available En Mass. 

However, with more science available each day on this, it is hard to avoid that this is the direction we need to go. This, in order to avoid the pitfalls of masking the symptoms with chemicals and synthetic drugs that too often do not work long-term and are riddled with side-effects.
