Ginger and Tea Overcome Cancer

Therapy against cancer continues to grow. Of therapy "simple" that led to the recent disturbances with immunotherapy that could minimize patient complaints during therapy.
One of the latest findings worth noting that the benefits of ginger extract and green tea to treat cancer. Similarly, given at a meeting of experts for the American Cancer Research October of 2003.
Ann Bode and Zigang Dong of the University of Minnesota examined the benefits of ginger extract known as gingerol. This substance that makes ginger spicy feel. They gave it substance in mice that had been infected with human colon cancer cells. Mice used were specially grown mice, making them more susceptible to cancer.
Fifteen days later, Bode and the Dong began to observe results. In mice that underwent a normal diet to 13 mice were exposed to the tumor. While the group of mice that received injections of extracts of ginger - before and after tumor cells were infected - only found four mice infestation tumors.
Unfortunately, there is no information on whether to consume ginger in the simple form also provide benefits for preventing cancer. You see, not so far our society has become more familiar familiar with ginger - began to drink round, sekoteng, ginger candy, or other?

There was another study done again a team in the Arizona Cancer Center, Tucson. Research carried out on 118 heavy smokers. The smokers were divided into two groups, each asked to drink at least four cups of green tea or black teas in a day.
Following four months, they performed measurements on body chemical called 8-OHdG. This substance is released the body in response to DNA damage that often occurs in cases of cancer. The result?
In those who drink green tea decaffein decline as much as 31% of 8-OHdG. While on who drank black tea signs can not be found.
However, research results are not considered sufficient. According to Bode, "We're still going to continue to study the benefits of the herb, to overcome various kinds of tumor. In fact, until finally we can reveal the secret about major anticancer agent for humans."
No less important, according to experts at the meeting, looking for an easier way to reduce cancer risk.
Like the Dr. said. Raymond DuBois of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, who led the meeting, "Besides continue to do research for the treatment and prevention, should also be campaigns to disseminate cancer prevention efforts in an easy way."
DuBois Raymond hoped that the campaign can make all the citizens of the world community be more proactive in maintaining their health. Among other things, diligently consult the doctor and run a standard standards such as quitting smoking, maintaining a balance of nutrition, and physical exercise.
