Ginger for Cancer Therapy

GINGER can be used to kill ovarian cancer cells while components found in chili peppers could be expected to shrink or shrink the tumor of the pancreas. So says Dr. Rebecca Liu, assistant professor in the field of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center, USA, and his team, who have tested ginger powder dissolved and applied to ovarian cancer cell cultures.

The study mentions that there is evidence of a variety of hot spicy food or useful to inhibit cancer growth. The study examined the effectiveness of ginger against cancer cells. Nonetheless, this study is still the first step.

It is said, ginger can kill cancer cells by two roads, namely the destruction process called apoptosis and autophagy, the process of cell Ingestion. It described the experts meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research.

According to Dr. Rebecca, many cancer patients who develop resistance to standard chemotherapy, where chemotherapy is an act of the apoptotic process. While ginger has the ability to take cells (autophagy) can help those who develop resistance to chemotherapy.

American Cancer Society reported ovarian cancer kills 22,000 of 16,000 U.S. women. Ginger shown to control the inflammatory state, which is associated with the development of ovarian cancer cells.

In another study using rats given capsaicin (one of the content of the chili), Sanjay Srivastava of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, USA, found that capsaicin was found to kill pancreatic cancer cells. Capsaicin make cancer cells die and have the ability to reduce tumor size.
