GINGER

GINGER is a medicinal plant or herbal medicine we call that can be used to kill ovarian cancer cells as a component found in chili peppers could be expected to shrink or shrink pancreatic tumors. So says Dr. Rebecca Liu, assistant professor in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center, USA, and his team, who have tested ginger powder dissolved and administered in ovarian cancer cell cultures.

The study says 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 still represents the first step.

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

According to Drs. Rebecca, many cancer patients who develop resistance to standard chemotherapy, in which the action of chemotherapy is a process of apoptosis. While ginger has the ability to eat the cell (autophagy) can help those who develop resistance to chemotherapy.

American Cancer Society reported ovarian cancer kills 16,000 than 22,000 U.S. women. Ginger proved to be able 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 able to kill pancreatic cancer cells. Capsaicin make cancer cells die and have the ability to reduce tumor size.
