(05-10-12) Proven to kill cancer cells without destroying your immune system

by Ben

(NaturalNews) Chemotherapy is one of the most well known ways to treat cancer.
Unfortunately, chemotherapy drugs by nature are extremely toxic and usually
work against your body's natural mechanisms to fight cancer. It destroys your
host immunity instead of supporting it. Along with inhibiting your immunity, it
destroys healthy cells in your body as well and can lead to more severe health
problems going forward. The other side effect chemotherapy has is the fact that
it can actually support the growth of more cancer cells by destroying the
immune system.

An alternative to chemotherapy can be found in natural compounds that can kill
cancer cells without destroying the healthy cells that are essential for
recovery. It is an effect called "selective cytotoxicity." The result is a
targeted, intelligent cancer treatment that doesn't hinder the body's ability
to fight cancer.

One particular compound is found in pineapple stems, called bromelain. A study
published in the Journal Planta Medica discovered that bromelain treated cancer
in an animal study better than the chemotherapy drug 5-fluorauracil. The effect
of bromelian was superior to that of 5-fluorouracil by approximately 263
percent, compared to the untreated control.

The impressive part of this study was that the bromelain worked in a way that
didn't cause additional harm to the animals, whereas the drug 5-fluorauracil
was relatively unsuccessful.

Written by GreenMedInfo:

"As a highly toxic, fluoride-bound form of the nucleic acid uracil, a normal
component of RNA, the drug is supposed to work by tricking more rapidly
dividing cells -- which include both cancer and healthy intestinal, hair
follicle, and immune cells -- into taking it up, thereby inhibiting (read:
poisoning) RNA replication enzymes and RNA synthesis..."

"When a person dies following conventional cancer treatment it is all too easy
to "blame the victim" and simply write that patient's cancer off as "chemo-
resistant," or "exceptionally aggressive," when in fact the non-selective
nature of the chemotoxic agent is what ultimately lead to their death."

There is no chemotherapy drug that has been proven to produce effects like
selective cytotoxicity. Apart from bromelain, there are a number of other
natural compounds that have been known to produce the same results:

Vitamin C - A study done by Dr. Ronald Hunninghake found Vitamin C to be
selectively cytotoxic against cancer cells over the course of a 15-year
research project.

Eggplant Extract - Dr. Bill E. Cham is a leading researcher in the area of
treating skin cancer and says:

"The mode of action of SRGs [glycoalkaloids solasodine rhamnosy glycosides
(BEC)] is unlike any current antineoplastic [anti-tumor] agent. Specific
receptors for the SRGs present only on cancer cells but not normal cells are
the first step of events that lead to apoptosis in cancer cells only, and this
may explain why, during treatment, the cancer cells were being eliminated and
normal cells were replacing the killed cancer cells with no scar tissue being
formed."

In particular, the extracts from plants in the Solanaceae family such as
eggplant, tomato, potato, bell peppers and tobacco are the compounds that have
the ability of killing cancer cells without harming the healthy tissue.

Turmeric (Curcumin Extract) - In the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, a
study conducted discovered that rats who were administered curcumin noted a
decrease in experimentally-induced brain tumors in 9 out of 11 treated. This
spice has been intensely researched and is suggested that it targets
transformed cells.

There are a number of resources to find alternative treatments to
chemotherapy, including the methods mentioned above, found in the below sources
