Ivermectin can “kill cancer cells” and boost immune response, suggest health experts
Ivermectin was used as an alternative treatment amid the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and now researchers are saying that the drug can also help fight cancer by boosting immune response. Rick Alderson, a retired sawmill worker, was diagnosed with terminal colon cancer in November 2020. He endured agonizing pain in his bowels for months. After a consultation, a gastroenterologist … Continue reading Ivermectin can “kill cancer cells” and boost immune response, suggest health experts
Medical scientists cautiously describe 100% CURE for cancer using new monoclonal antibody treatment
New research published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) suggests that a novel form of monoclonal antibodies could be a safe and effective cure for cancer. The results of the small trial are already being hailed as “remarkable” and “unprecedented” because all 18 participants are now cancer-free, thanks to receiving dostarlimab every three weeks for six … Continue reading Medical scientists cautiously describe 100% CURE for cancer using new monoclonal antibody treatment
Animal drug fenbendazole shows promise in treating parasites, cancer in humans
An anti-parasite medication for animals from the benzimidazole class of pharmaceuticals shows incredible promise as an anti-cancer remedy for humans. Fenbendazole, as it is called, is normally administered to fish, birds and mammals. It kills parasites like roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and some tapeworms. It is commonly sold under brand names like Panacur and Safe-Guard. It turns out … Continue reading Animal drug fenbendazole shows promise in treating parasites, cancer in humans
STUDY: Japanese knotweed extract (resveratrol) may help reduce cancer risk linked to processed meat (sodium nitrite)
Many gardeners are wary of Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica), especially since it’s invasive to the United States. But in a paper published in the journal Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, researchers have found that Japanese knotweed extract can help reduce the harmful effects of nitrite in processed foods like bacon. Resveratrol and Japanese knotweed Despite being infamous among homeowners, researchers … Continue reading STUDY: Japanese knotweed extract (resveratrol) may help reduce cancer risk linked to processed meat (sodium nitrite)
Natural treatments: Salt nanoparticles are toxic to cancer cells, say researchers
A study led by University of Georgia researchers found that salt nanoparticles could kill cancer cells and confer anti-cancer immunity. Published in the journal Advanced Materials, the study showed that sodium chloride nanoparticles (SCNPs) could stealthily enter cancer cells and rip them apart from within, causing cell death. The cells’ death could then trigger an immune response that enables the body to ward off new tumor growth. … Continue reading Natural treatments: Salt nanoparticles are toxic to cancer cells, say researchers
Combination of an active plant compound and a form of vitamin E shows promise as an anti-cancer treatment
Naturally occurring compounds derived from plants make the best anti-cancer agents. These bioactive chemicals are not only effective at stopping the growth and proliferation of cancer cells, but they also cause very few, if any, side effects. In contrast, synthetic drugs used in chemotherapy cause a variety of unpleasant side effects, such as tiredness, mouth soreness, loss … Continue reading Combination of an active plant compound and a form of vitamin E shows promise as an anti-cancer treatment
Brazilian plant shows promising anti-cancer effects against skin cancer and leukemia
One of the biggest issues for cancer patients who have tried modern therapies is that these treatments cause plenty of unwanted side effects. Another challenge that has emerged recently is the occurrence of multi-drug resistance (MDR). MDR can be defined as the ability of cancer cells to survive against a wide variety of anti-cancer agents. Because MDR renders chemotherapeutics … Continue reading Brazilian plant shows promising anti-cancer effects against skin cancer and leukemia
