Healing Cancer with Herbal and Plants
Be an alternative herbal medicine to cure many diseases. One of the many herbal remedies are preferred white turmeric can be used to help cure cancer.
“White Turmeric can help the healing process of cancer because they contain compounds derivatives (derivatives) and flavonoids kurkumin acting as antioxidants,” said Dr. Radji Maksum, MBiomed, Apt, Chairman of the Materials Research Society Nature detikHealth when contacted on Thursday (14/1/2010 ).
Maksum Dr. White explained the benefits of turmeric fight cancer cells is still limited to studies in vitro (laboratory) and have not reached clinical trials. But white turmeric is widely used as an alternative medicine for cancer.
In vitro studies conducted with bioaktivasi test. Cancer cells grown in the laboratory and after being given a certain concentration of white turmeric cancer cells to die. Also found also that the activity of white turmeric in a deadly cancer cells better than the god crowns of plants.
In the last year had made a study of cancer patients in one of the Cancer Hospital in Indonesia, approximately 30-40 percent of cancer patients given herbal remedies with white turmeric combined with medical treatment such as chemotherapy or other cancer treatment.
Having given this combination therapy, many patients who said that he felt there was improvement in his health condition. This phase included in the clinical testimony.
“In theory the time needed to conduct research on cancer drugs about 10-15 years. Of course the past couple of stages such as in vitro testing, preclinical testing, human testing to the healthy, the test to the patient and the last one tested to medical centers in some countries, “said UI professor of pharmacy is.
Greatest obstacles of research on this cancer is the high cost required to conduct research. In addition the calculation of the dose required (search formula) for humans is also not an easy thing.
Meanwhile, the American Institute of Cancer reported a white turmeric can be used to prevent cancer. Antioxidants are contained in a white turmeric may have a function to prevent the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from damage. Damage to this gene is one of the factors triggering the emergence of cancer. Iu addition, note also that the compounds contained in white turmeric can act as an anti-inflammatory drugs.
Several other studies have also mentioned the content of Ribosome in activating protein (RIP) in white turmeric. These compounds can inhibit the spread of suspected cancer cells and prevent cell damage. But a new study using cultured cancer cells in the laboratory and have not been tested to the patient or human.
The study of natural ingredients to cure cancer is clinically proven is the extract from pine trees (pine Taxus brevifolia) is paclitaxel.
“For cancer patients who want to consume natural or herbal remedies such as using white turmeric fine, either already in the form of powder or make themselves. But should remain under the supervision of a doctor about the dosage,” says microbiologist and professor of molecular biology.
