Cancer has been on the increase in the U.S. for many years and it goes without saying that it has affected most if not all of us in one way or another. Here are a couple supplements to consider in not only with preventing cancer, but in combating it.
Whey protein powder is probably one of the most underutilized tools you can use to improve and protect your health. Whey isn't some glamorous, high-tech product that was just recently discovered. What whey is is the translucent liquid that separates from curd when milk coagulates during the cheese-making process.
Ages ago it was praised as an elixir, but more recently it has generally been discarded as waste. Some to the more savvy farmers knew it would benefit young farm animals and often utilized it in feed, and they were on to something. The majority of the benefits of whey can be attributed to its dense content of high-quality protein components. It has been found to be one of the most complete and biologically active forms of protein available.
Studies in laboratory animals have found that a diet supplemented with whey protein provides protection against toxin-induced cancers of the esophagus, lung, bladder, colon, liver, and breast. It appears the earlier the whey protein is started, the greater the protective effects might be.
Fermented wheat germ extract (FWGE), also called fermented wheat germ powder (FWGP) is used as a natural cancer therapy. FWGP is approved as a medical nutriment for supportive therapy of cancer in Hungary and is used for that purpose in other nations of the European Union (EU), and in parts of the Middle East and Asia. It is used in the US as a dietary supplement.
Research indicates that FWGE works through several different mechanisms. One of its most unique benefits, however, is its ability to inhibit glucose metabolism in cancer cells. By reducing the glucose flow into cancer cells, it inhibits their ability to produce additional nucleic acids and subsequently reduces their proliferation or growth. In the presence of FWGE compounds, cancer cells begin to utilize the available glucose to produce substances that actually inhibit cell division and stimulate programmed cell death within the tumor.
FWGE also assists the immune system's ability to identify and destroy cancer cells, and its safety has been studied extensively in cell lines, animals, and humans and no adverse effects have been identified.
Not only is the use of FWGE free of toxic and adverse effects, it has the added benefit of being able to protect cells against such effects caused by conventional therapies. In all of the studies where FWGE was used in conjunction with conventional therapies, not only were those therapies significantly more effective, but the patients experienced considerably less therapy-related side effects. Both the frequency and severity of common side effects like nausea, fatigue, weight loss, and depression were reduced. Additionally, their immune systems recovered more rapidly.
Do you know that India has just one-tenth the cancer rate of America. The main reason has been attributed to curry, or actually a compound in one of the spices that make up curry called turmeric. Turmeric is a strong antioxidant and free-radical scavenger, but it also possesses amazing anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic, and other protective powers.
The compound curcumin is responsible for the yellowish-orange color and distinctive smell of tumeric. Curcumin is more than just a simple pigment. Researchers at the cancer center in Houston reported that curcumin stops laboratory strains of melanoma from proliferating and causes the cancer cells to commit suicide. The findings are so dramatic that human clinical trials are already underway testing curcumin's ability to retard the growth of both pancreatic and breast cancer, and animal studies of its effects on melanoma will begin shortly.
So far, the researchers have found that curcumin has had a positive effect on every tumor market they have tried. By the way, all of these studies involve the use of daily oral curcumin supplements that are readily available today.
