Papaya Leaf Extract does fight
cancer
Papaya has been known for its cancer fighting
properties and has been used as an alternative cancer treatment option for many
years, however so far there’s been no scientific evidence proving that Papaya
could fight cancer.
This is no longer true!
International doctors and researchers conducted an
extensive study on effects of Papaya on
cancer and their findings, which were
published on March 9, 2010 in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology
conclude that Papaya Leaf
Extract and Papaya Leaf
Tea have “dramatic cancer-fighting properties against a broad
range of tumors”.
Nam Dang from the University of Florida teamed up with researchers from Japan
to test the anti-cancer effects of dry Papaya Leaf Extract against cervix
cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer and pancreatic cancer and found
that the higher the dose of Papaya Leaf Extract was used, the more it impacted
the tumor.
Cancer fighting properties of Papaya Leaf were attributed to increased
production of key signaling molecules called Th1-type cytokines, which are known
regulators of the immune system. Papaya extract helps to stimulate these
Th1-type cytokines which in turn promote the ability of patient’s immunity to
destroy cancerous cells. With proper boost, the immune system is able to fight
various types of cancers without the need of harmful procedures such as
chemotherapy or radiation. And since Papaya has no toxic effects on normal
cells, its consumption goes without side effects.
Ten different cancer type cells were exposed to Papaya Leaf Extract for 24
hours and each of the cultures experienced slower tumor growth after exposure.
Researchers repeated the test with exposure to Papaya Leaf Extract of different
strengths and recorded the results for each. In conclusion, higher doses of
Papaya Leaf Extract showed more powerful impact on tumor growth. Since according
to this study, Papaya is able to slow down the growth of any type of tumor, no
matter which type of cancer you are suffering from, Papaya could help you fight
it.
