Nigella Sativa is a great tool in fighting Cancer
After doing a lengthy research on cancer and cancer treatment, a course that I am not stopping any soon, I have learnt that the best cancer treatments are nature given. Natural cancer treatments have been used for a long time as alternative cancer treatments and that seemingly is not going to stop any sooner. The known conventional cancer treatments like chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery are not the best options cancer patients wish for. This is because of the very many side effects associated with them. Most cancer patients now prefer natural cancer treatment to conventional cancer treatment methods.
The sudden shift of patient attitude from conventional cancer treatment methods to natural treatment methods has led researchers to do research on several vegetables, fruits and seeds to determine if they can offer an effective treatment option that will be preferred by the patients. Needless to mention the doctors are always trying to find out the most effective ways that can cure cancer without leaving any life threatening side effect.
Doctors have encouraged the consumption of certain fruits and vegetables due to their anticancer properties. The list of these naturally availed cancer treatment is growing everyday as the researchers are discovering new plants that can help in cancer treatment. These fruits, vegetables and seeds are rich in antioxidants that help the body in flushing out the toxins that may encourage the formation of cancer cells. These fruits, vegetables and seeds not only help in prevention of cancer but help strengthen the immune system to fight cancer.
Nigella sativa otherwise known as the black cumin has been identified by researchers to have anticancer properties and hence can be used as an alternative cancer treatment. The medicinal properties of the black seed have been known for centuries. It was used in the ancient Egypt for medicinal purposes. In fact it is a plant that is the most treasured and revered among the ancient Egyptians. Even one of the great people known in the Muslim community; Prophet Mohammed used the black cumin seeds and encouraged his followers to use it too. He said that it could cure everything except death.
In the early 1960’s a lot of research began investigating the medicinal benefits of this black seed. The researches that were done proved the health benefits of the black cumin seeds especially in prevention and treatment of cancer.
Scientists from the Kimmel Cancer Centre in Jefferson recently conducted a research on the black cumin medicinal properties that cleared every doubt about its ability to cure cancer. The researchers reported that the black cumin is effective in destroying cancer cells. Another research that was done by the Cancer Research Laboratory in South Carolina showed that the black seeds enhanced the growth of bone marrow cells by 250 percent, making it one of the most powerful immune boosters ever known. The research also verified that the black seeds inhibited the growth of cancer cells by about 60%.
The black cumin was found to be effective in treatment all types of cancers. It works well on cervical, breast, prostate, brain, blood and pancreatic cancers. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly types of cancer and survival rate of a pancreatic cancer patient on chemotherapy is very slim. However with the black cumin the disease is easily cured.
The research done by the Kimmel Cancer Centre in Jefferson revealed that black cumin contains thymoquinone, which is very effective in inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and reducing the sizes of existing tumors quickly. In a study that was done on rats as well as cancerous cells in humans revealed that the black cumin is effective in fighting cancer. Black cumin also helps in reducing the cholesterol levels in the body. High cholesterol levels expose you to cancer risk.
“The herb and oil are safe when used in moderation, and have been used for thousands of years without reported toxic effects,” Hwyda A. Arafat, MD, PhD, associate professor, departments of surgery and pathology, anatomy and cell biology at Jefferson Medical College. He spearheaded the research.
“Every time you take black cumin you are stimulating your immune system to fight on your behalf and increase natural killer cells,” Dr. Gary Null states when endorsing black cumin and its ability to improve the immune system, and treat even the most impossible invaders like cancer and HIV, successfully.
Black cumin helps in fighting the diseases by enhancing the production of the bone marrow cells thereby enhancing the immunity of the body. It also increases the production of interferon and also protects the healthy body cells from harmful effects of foreign bodies. The black cumin also kills tumor cells and improves the antibody producing ability of the body.
The Black cumin also helps in maintaining the overall body wellness and helps in treating other serious diseases as it contains crystalline nigellone which is a very active component. The seed oil also contains beta sitosterol, thymoquinone, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, arachidonic acid, proteins and vitamins B1, B2 and B3 which are helpful in maintaining a good immune system and fight diseases.
Researchers are always discovering new and better ways to help you stay away from cancer and to treat cancer better. For this reason you need to be updated frequently to make right choices as you fight cancer. Dr. Dalal Akoury (MD) has a website that avails you sufficient information to help you fight cancer.
