A Powerful Natural Approach to Kill Cancer Stem Cells

There are natural compounds in foods & herbs that are scientifically proven to cause cancer stem cells to die – without chemotherapy or radiotherapy!

In simple words, over 23 natural compounds have been identified to activate and signal the cell to eliminate itself when it is not healthy! Through this powerful mechanism cancer stem cells get detected by your body’s own pathways, leaving your immune system and healthy cells fully intact! It is truly remarkable that natural substances have the power to clear the body of these dreadful cancer stem cells that can bring back tumor & cancer more viciously than ever before!

The journal Anticancer Research published a special summary of cancer stem cell killers under the title, “Natural Products That Target Cancer Stem Cells,” in 2015. After the scientists reviewed an immense amount of research & literature on the topic, they listed the top 25 botanical & food substances. Mind you, 23 of these substances can be eaten, and best of all, this is scientifically proven!

The primary reason why conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy have failed to produce significant improvements in cancer survival rates is because cancer stem cells are resistant to these interventions. In fact, chemotherapy and radiation can both make cancers & tumors 30x more malignant and damage the patient’s immune system. In an article titled, “Radiation Treatment Generates Therapy Resistant Cancer Stem Cells From Aggressive Breast Cancer Cells,” published in the journal Cancer in July 2012, researchers from the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center report that radiation treatment actually drives breast cancer cells into greater malignancy!

Unfortunately, the cancer industry is still very resistant to incorporating the implications of natural products that can kill Cancer Stem Cells without any detrimental effect on a person’s health. It is worthwhile to note that many more natural substances have been identified and scientifically confirmed to have anti-cancer activity through thousands of studies. Take a look at it here.

The Study published in the Anticancer Research

Yet, for specifically killing Cancer Stem Cells let us return to the published article in the Anticancer Research, in which they show their complete Chart (Table 1). They list the compound, structure, source, cancer cell type, and target.

For the lay person we will stick here to compound (or active substance) and in which natural food or herb this compound is majorly found. This is the list:

1. Epigallocatec hin-3-gallate (EGCG) – Green Tea
2. 6-Gingerol – Ginger
3. β-Carotene – Carrots, Leafy Greens
4. Baicalein – Chinese Skullcap (herb)
5. Curcumin – Turmeric
6. Delphinidin – blueberry, raspberrry
7. Flavonoids (Genistein) – Soy, red clover, coffee
8. Guggulsterone – Commiphora (myrrh tree)
9. Isothiocyanates – Cruciferous Vegetables
10. Linalool – Mint, various herbs
11. Lycopene – Grapefruit, tomato
12. Parthenolide – Feverfew (herb)
13. Perylill alcohol – Mint, cherry, lavender
14. Piperine – Black Pepper
15. Placycodon saponin – Playycodon grandifloruim
16. Psoralidin – Psoralea corylilyfolia
17. Quercetin – Capers, onion
18. Resveratrol – Grapes, plums, berries
19. Salinomycin – Streptomyces albus
20. Silibinin – Milk Thistle
21. Ursolic acid – Thyme, basil, oregano (herbs)
22. Vitamin D3 – Fish, egg yolk, beef, cod liver oil
23. Withaferin A – Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha)

These 23 mentioned substances turn on certain pathways and trigger cancer stem cells to commit apoptosis. This is a process that tells the cell, you’re not healthy, you need to die. Apoptosis is simple & short a programmed cell death and the 23 botanical & food substances help to trigger it.

 So what could be an easy way to make that mechanism work for you? Simply, create a habit to implement the following foods on a daily basis – preferably organic:

 Practical Tips & Solutions:

 1. Eat and supplement daily with Turmeric

2. Use fresh ginger in food, soups, smoothies and as a tea

3. Drink 2-3 cups of Green Tea every day

4. Eat 3-4x per week Cruciferous Vegetables, like cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts, or cabbage

5. Eat 4-5x per week Veggies like carrots, leafy greens, seeded tomatoes, onions, and garlic

6. Eat 3-4x per week Fruits, like grapes, plums, all berries, cherries, and grapefruits/oranges

7. Include every day fresh Herbs like thyme, basil, oregano, mint, rosemarin, and black pepper

This makes an excellent tool to concentrate on Prevention, while you eat or supplement yourself free of cancerous cells and cancerous stem cells! The feeling of getting your power back is a priceless one as you determine what you eat for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Anyone that has been diagnosed with a cancer or tumor knows of the devastating feeling that follows it. The sheer thought of having to go through it all again is in itself a huge source of stress & worries.

The best course of action is to get knowledgeable about these natural products. Start eating & supplementing with them right away to make sure that the cancer cannot come back. Even better, take them on a regular basis and keep your body cancer & tumor-free before it can ever hit you!
