garlic and prostate cancer
A team of research
scientists at New York’s Cornell University have determined
that garlic may effectively kill off human prostate cancer cells.
Prostate cancer is a deadly disease that affects many older men. The
prostate is a small organ (about the size of a walnut) that is wrapped
around the uretha where it plays an important role in the reproductive
system.
Prostate cancer strikes many older men prompting doctors to check for
it early and often if their patients report any early symptoms such as
trouble urinating or pain while urinating. Prostate cancer can be
deadly and treatment usually involve intense radiation and chemotherapy
and may even involve surgery.
The best way to battle this disease is to take preventative step in
getting it in the first place. The earlier you detect it the better the
chances are of finding a affective treatment for it. Getting regular
checkups and eating a prostate healthy diet are key steps in stopping
the prostate cancer death.
One thing that scientists found to include in your prostate friendly
diet is garlic. Certain studies have indicated that this powerful l
herb is not only fit to fight bacteria, fungi and viruses, but also
capable of killing off cancer cells.
In one study conducted at the Memorial Sloan Cancer Center, human
prostate cancer cells were cultured over a 24 hour period then exposed
some of the petri dishes to a saline solution that contained 50 ppm of
one of the two garlic components: S-Allycysteine or
S-allymercaptocysteine. Both of these sulfur based components are found
in aged garlic. The second component displayed the ability to cut the
number of cancer cells down by half within 6 to 8 days. This powerful
garlic component even displayed an inhibitory effect on the cancer
cells for several more days even after it was rinsed away. The other
aged garlic component: S-Allycysteine also showed potential prostate
cancer cell killing power, but was nowhere near as effective as
A-Allymercaptocyseine.
Researchers believe that the compounds ability to generate the
antioxidant gluthione is an important factor in the findings.
Glutathione is believed to take away certain protiend that
the prostate cancer cells need in order to proliferate. It should be
noted that while only aged garlic components were studied (the research
was partially funded by a Aged Garlic Supplement company) the powerful
antioxidant Glutathione can also be made from selenium which is found
in abundance in all forms of garlic.
