Learn how Turmeric is used in Asian countries as part of anti-cancer treatment. Among the natural therapies used to treat cancer in every country including Japan, Malaysia, China, Taiwan, the Philippines, and other countries is Turmeric with its main ingredient being curcumin which goes after the cancer cells.

This past week I watched 8 episodes of a documentary that took you to different Asian countries talking to medical doctors who treat cancer successfully using natural herbs and other holistic therapies.

These doctors (originally standard medicine doctors) had all trained using chemo and radiation but became so mad and upset at how this Western system did not save patient lives that they trained and researched alternative methods.

These same experienced and educated doctors now treat holistically only. They are saving people from cancer after chemo and radiation wasted these patients and after they were given up by those doctors with a death sentence.

All these patients were sent home to die with only a few weeks to live after the chemo and radiation treatments did not work. These patients were given up on by Western cancer treatments! I am a researcher, and it is my goal to give you research and present research information that can change your life.

Among the natural therapies used to treat cancer in every country including Japan, Malaysia, China, Taiwan, the Philippines and more was Turmeric with its main ingredient being curcumin which goes after the cancer cells.

In these countries, you can receive treatments such as IV Vitamin C and other IV treatments with vitamins that you cannot receive easily in the United States. Natural medicine therapies including cancer treatment are protected in these countries. That is why thousands of people fly there for medical treatments we are not given access to in this country.

This is criminal that the AMA is keeping us from therapies that could save our lives because they are in bed with the drug companies that are making billions of people in this country. Here is The Truth About Cancer website where they have books and other services to educate you on how you can stop your cancer without chemo and radiation.

Turmeric Used to Treat Cancer by Asian Doctors! There is another path to defeating cancer.

I am republishing an article with permission from Green Med Pro, a research site, on how Turmeric works against cancer below. This is only one of the hundreds of articles on Turmeric. It is a membership site to which I proudly belong. It publishes research you cannot find elsewhere because alternative medicine is suppressed by our media, the AMA, our government, your doctor, and health care provider.

Suppression is being used against alternative medicine by Facebook, Twitter, and other social media. It is a true suppression of knowledge, that I thought would never happen in this country, but it is NOW folks.

You are being brainwashed by your doctor that the only treatment for your cancer is chemo and radiation therapy. Cancer patients die (70%) from the wasting that occurs with the treatment when you puke your guts out for months while getting these treatments and from the treatment killing your immune system.

If you do not die from the first cancer, it often reoccurs again either in the same organ or in other organs later. Chemo and radiation cannot kill the cancer stem cells, only the active cancer cells. So, cancer stem cells stay in the system despite the chemo and radiation treatments, to cause cancer again later. Cancer is not a death sentence as they tell you.

There are alternative treatments, again, which are suppressed by this country because of deep pockets with the drug companies that run this country and our government agencies.

Turmeric research — Turmeric health benefits

The ancient Indian spice turmeric strikes again! Research finds turmeric extract selectively and safely kills cancer stem cells in a way that chemo and radiation can not.

A groundbreaking new study published in the journal Anticancer Research reveals that one of the world’s most extensively researched and promising natural compounds for cancer treatment: the primary polyphenol in the ancient spice turmeric known as curcumin, has the ability to selectively target cancer stem cells, which are at the root of cancer malignancy while having little to no toxicity on normal stem cells, which are essential for tissue regeneration and longevity.

Titled, “Curcumin and Cancer Stem Cells: Curcumin Has Asymmetrical Effects on Cancer and Normal Stem Cells,” the study describes the wide range of molecular mechanisms presently identified by which curcumin attacks cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are the minority subpopulation of self-renewing cells within a tumor colony, and which alone are capable of producing all the other cells within a tumor, making them the most lethal, tumoriogenic of all cells within most if not all cancers. Because CSCs are resistant to chemotherapy, and radiation, and may even be provoked towards increased invasiveness through surgical intervention, they are widely believed to be responsible for tumor recurrence and the failure of conventional treatment.

The study identified the following 8 molecular mechanisms by which curcumin targets and kills cancer stem cells:

Down-regulation of interleukin-6 (IL-6): IL-6 is classified as a cytokine (a potent biomolecule released by the immune system) and modulates both immunity and inflammation. It’s over expression has been linked to the progression from inflammation to cancer. Curcumin inhibits IL-6 release, which in turn prevents CSC stimulation.

Down-regulation of interleukin-8 (IL-8): IL-8, another cytokine, is released after tumor cell death, subsequently stimulating CSCs to regrow the tumor and resist chemotherapy. Curcumin inhibits IL-8 production directly and indirectly.

Down-regulation of interleukin-1 (IL-1): IL-1, a family of cytokines, is involved in response to injury and infection, with IL-1 playing a key role in cancer cell growth and the stimulation of CSCs. Curcumin inhibits IL-1 both directly and indirectly.

Decrease CXCR1 and CXCR2 binding: CXCR1 and CXCR2 are proteins expressed on cells, including CSCs, which respond to the aforementioned cytokines in a deleterious manner. Curcumin has been found to not only block cytokine release but their binding to these two cellular targets.

Modulation of the Wnt signaling pathway: The Wnt signaling pathway regulates a wide range of processes during embryonic development, but is also downregulated in cancer. Curcumin has been found to have a corrective action on Wnt signaling.

Modulation of the Notch Pathway: The Notch signaling pathway, also involved in embryogenesis, plays a key role in regulating cell differentiation, proliferation, and programmed cell death (apoptosis), as well as the functioning of normal stem cells. Aberrant Notch signaling has been implicated in a wide range of cancers. Curcumin has been found to suppress tumor cells along the Notch pathway.

Modulation of the Hedgehog Pathways: Another pathway involved in embryogenesis, the Hedgehog pathway also regulates normal stem cell activity. Abnormal functioning of this pathway is implicated in a wide range of cancers and in the stimulation of CSCs and associated increases in tumor recurrence after conventional treatment. Curcumin has been found to inhibit the Hedgehog pathway through a number of different mechanisms.

Modulation of the FAK/AKT/FOXo3A Pathway: This pathway plays a key role in regulating normal stem cells, with aberrant signaling stimulating CSCs, resulting once again in tumor recurrence and resistance to chemotherapy. Curcumin has been found
in multiple studies to destroy CSCs by inhibiting this pathway.

As you can see through these eight examples above, curcumin exhibits a rather profound level of complexity, modulating numerous molecular pathways simultaneously. Conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy is incapable of such delicate and “intelligent” behavior, as it preferentially targets fast-replicating cells by damaging their DNA in the vulnerable mitosis stage of cell division, regardless of whether they are benign, healthy, or cancerous cells. Curcumin’s selective cytotoxicity, on the other hand, targets the most dangerous cells the cancer stem cells “ which leave unharmed the normal cells, as we will now learn more about below.

Curcumin and Normal Stem Cells

Normal stem cells (NSCs) are essential for health because they are responsible for differentiating into normal cells that are needed to replace damaged or sick ones. If curcumin were to kill normal cells, like radiation and chemotherapy, it would not provide a compelling alternative to these treatments. The study addressed this point:

“The safety of curcumin has been long established, as it has been used for centuries as a dietary spice. The question arises as to why curcumin does not seem to have the same deleterious effects on normal stem cells (NSCs) as it does on CSCs. There are several possible reasons that curcumin has toxic effects on CSCs, while sparing NSCs.”

The study offered three potential explanations for curcumin’s differential or selective cytotoxicity:

Malignant cells take in much more curcumin than normal cells.
Curcumin alters the microenvironment of cells in such a way that is adverse to CSCs and beneficial to NSCs.
Curcumin may not only directly attack CSCs, but may encourage them to differentiate into non-lethal, more benign cells.

Concluding Remarks

This study adds growing support to the idea that safe, time-tested, natural substances are superior to synthetic ones. Given the evidence that a safe and effective alternative may already exist, chemotherapy, radiation, and even surgery may no longer be justified as the first-line standard of care for cancer treatment.

In fact, a significant body of evidence now implicates these treatments in worsening prognosis, and in some cases driving cancer stem cell enrichment in tumors. Radiotherapy, for instance, has been found to induce cancer stem cell-like properties in breast cancer cells, essentially increasing their malignancy and tumoriogenicity by 30-fold. This is hardly progress when one considers the role that CSCs play, especially in contributing to post-treatment secondary cancers.

Turmeric and its components, of course, are not FDA-approved drugs, and by definition, the FDA will not allow an unapproved substance, natural or synthetic, to prevent, treat, diagnose, or cure a disease. This means that you will not be seeing it offered by an oncologist as an alternative to chemotherapy or radiation any time soon.

This does not, however, mean that it does not work. We have gathered over 1500 citations from the National Library of Medicine’s bibliographic database MEDLINE, accessible through pubmed.gov, and which can be viewed on our database here: Turmeric Research, showing that curcumin and related turmeric components possess significant anti-cancer activity. Truth be told, the information is so extensive, revealing over 700 possible health benefits, that I believe this plant embodies a form of intelligence and even compassion.

You can learn more about this supposition here: Turmeric’s Healing Power: A Physical Manifestation of Compassion?

I also discuss this concept in my lecture, Food As Medicine Rebooted.

Of course, the point is not to wait until one has such a severe health problem that taking heroic doses of spices or herbs becomes the focus. It is important to remember that ancient cultures used spices like turmeric mainly in culinary doses, as part of their dietary practices. These smaller amounts, delivered mainly as whole food extracts, likely constituted effective preventive strategies perhaps preventing the need for radical, heroic intervention later in life. If you read our previous article, Turmeric: A Wellness Promoting Tonic at Low Doses, Research Reveals, you’ll see this point explored in greater depth in light of a human clinical study.
