Article: CURCUMIN A Powerful and Natural Cancer-Fightng Substance
The Following is a summary of the Laboratory Studies that
are showing Curcumin induces many biological effects that fight
the development and proliferation of cancer cells
Suppressing nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-KB). Cancer
cells often over-express NF-KB and use this as a means to
proliferate. Curcumin has been shown to suppress NF-KB. Blocking
cancer-mimicking chemicals that promote cancer growth.
Curcumin blocks estrogen and estogen-mimicking chemicals that
promote cell mutation and proliferation. These chemicals are found
in our environment and are encounctered daily and include paraquat,
a weed killer, notrosamines in cooked and "lunch" meats,
carbon tetrachloride (a solvent found in paints and other
products). Suppressing inflammation inherent in certain forms
of cancer. Curcumin inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) and
lipoxygebnaise (LOX), two enzymes that promote inflammation
believed to play a significant role in the development and
progression of cell carcinoma and colon cancer. A Strong
Antioxidant. Curcumin protects our cells against free radicals
that promote cancer and cause aging by damaging DNA and activating
genes. In a recent laboratory study, curcumin protected bacteria
from a lethal dose of radiation almost flawlessly. Destroying
Abnormal Pre-cancerous Cells. Stops certain forms of cancer by
inducing "aptosis," a process that identifies cancerous
cells and instructs them to self-destruct. Stopping Cncer Cells
from Multiplying. Stops the growth of cancer cells in the
advanced stages of cancer development. Enhancing Immunity
Shown to stimulate both localized and general immunity including
CD4 + T-helper and By type immune cells. Inhibiting
Angiogenesis, or the process by which tumors create their own
blood supply. Curcumin inhibits the enzyme critical to the
process and by blocking iron and copper from the bloodstream,
which are required for the growth of blood vessels that the tumors
require.
