Ginger Destroys Cancer???

I read this really interesting article, you can read it here! https://www.minds.com/blog/view/508040045408563200/ginger-destroys-cancer-more-effectively-than-chemotherapy-study

Basically what it is saying, is that ginger can kill cancer more effectively than chemotherapy sessions. Weird right? A Georga State University has been studying the effects of ginger on living cells. They have found that ginger leaves healthy cells alone, something that chemotherapy doesn't do. Chemotherapy kills all healthy and sick cells, which isn't what makes someone with cancer healthy. People with cancer need their healthy cells to help them grow and be better. It was found that ginger "induced growth-inhibition and death on cancerous cells (Minds)." In a study with mice, the ginger extract reduced their prostate tumors by 56%! Not only did it shrink the tumor, but it also provided anti oxidants and reduced inflammation.

Not saying that ginger can cure cancer all by itself, but it's really interesting that a food can be the start of discovering a cure.

  1. Wow, this is a really interesting article! It is crazy that doctors have been woking on cures for years and it turns out a natural food can be just as helpful. Maybe in the future, doctors will work off the ginger and find an actual cure. Great post!

  2. I agree that the premise of the article was very interesting! Although most natural/homeopathic "alternative medicine" routes are hoaxes and ultimately detrimental to our health, it's very cool to see that ginger could possibly be used not just as a food.

  3. This article was very interesting! I find it really cool that a natural thing could possibly beat cancer because I like Samantha feel that most of the times its a just mind games with these all natural cures.
