(05-02-13) Ginger root is a miracle cure for prostate cancer

by Craig Stellpflug

(NaturalNews) Prostate cancer is one of the most over-treated cancers out
there. By 50 years of age, about 40 percent of all men already have prostate
cancer and likely will never know it. But it will not kill them either - unless
they are screened for it and then treated with Big Pharma protocols. Then
things take an ugly turn as the benign and slow-growing cancer turns into the
killer kind. The numbers for prostate cancer doubles to 80 percent of all men
by the age of 80 years old. If you are in the business of selling cancer
treatments, this is a financial boon and a cash-cow.

The male prostate gland naturally enlarges with age. The bigger it gets, the
greater the chance that some of the cells in the prostate will turn cancerous.
This is mainly due to our highly inflammatory diets full of gluten, cancer
causing GMOs, sugars and chemical additives combined with our sedentary
lifestyles and poor stool habits.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force this year found that PSA blood tests
are too unreliable and give false positives 80 percent of the time with 1,000
men needing to be screened just to prevent a single prostate cancer death - but
that's not the worst of it. Many will succumb to impotence, incontinence, heart
attacks and even death from treatment of tiny tumors that never would have
killed them in the first place.

Ginger is the miracle cure
The British Journal of Nutrition published the results of an American study
recently in which ginger extract (zingiber officinale) actually killed human
prostate cancer cells while healthy prostate cells did not die. The results
occurred at a daily dose of 100 mg of ginger extract per kg of body weight
(based on a man weighing 150 pounds this equals about 550 mg extract per day).
In eight weeks, the ginger extract slashed prostate tumor growth in half. The
researchers have estimated that 100 grams of fresh ginger eaten daily will
offer the same results.

As a cancer champion, ginger has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and
antiproliferative effects upon tumors making ginger a promising chemopreventive
agent. Whole ginger extract holds significant growth-inhibitory and death-
inductory effects in a spectrum of cancer cells by interrupting cancer cell-
cycle progression, impairing cancer reproduction and modulating apoptosis. But
most importantly, ginger does not have any toxicity in normal, rapidly dividing
tissues such as gut and bone marrow.

Ginger taken orally can prevent or relieve nausea resulting from chemotherapy,
motion sickness, pregnancy, and surgery.

Not only can ginger root cure cancer, but it is a natural remedy for travel
sickness, nausea, indigestion, flatulence, colic, irritable bowel syndrome,
loss of appetite, chills, poor circulation, menstrual cramps, dyspepsia,
heartburn, indigestion and many other gastrointestinal problems. Ginger root is
also a powerful anti-inflammatory for joint problems and is indicated for
arthritis, fevers, headaches, toothaches, coughs, bronchitis, osteoarthritis,
rheumatoid arthritis, tendonitis, high cholesterol and blood-pressure and can
also prevent internal blood clots. Ginger is even anti-viral and makes a
warming cold and flu remedy.

Prostate do's and don'ts
There are studies showing that men consuming large amounts of synthetic folic
acid and zinc oxide are more likely to develop prostate cancer. Men also taking
large amounts of high-dose multi-vitamins develop prostate cancer more
frequently. On the other hand, other studies suggest that fish oil, magnesium,
curcumin, broccoli and lycopene (found in tomato products) help protect men
against cancer. Avoiding all GMO foods and processed foods along with their
litany of chemical additives is a must for prostate health. Maintaining a low-
carb diet is also known to reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer.

Oh, and don't forget to take ginger root.
