4 Ways Spirulina Algae Helps Prevent Cancer

August 11, 2016

I am constantly amazed at all the natural substances the Creator provides that not only help the body in general but also specifically target cancer cell healing. Spirulina, a blue-green algae that grows primarily in tropical and subtropical lakes, is one such substance. It has been used since ancient times as a protein-packed superfood and source of instant nutrition. Researchers have also discovered specific ways that Spirulina algae can help reduce the risk of many kinds of cancer and, in some cases, heal it.

#1 – Spirulina Targets Breast Cancer Stem Cells

Breast cancer affects close to 3 million women in the United States and is second only to lung cancer as the #1 cause of cancer death. The problem, especially when it comes to traditional breast cancer therapies, comes through metastasis. Metastasis happens because drug therapies do not address the presence of cancer stem cells. These stem cells will continue to grow and generate new tumors long after the therapy has been concluded (and even after many doctors announce a cancer as “cured”).

While chemo drugs apply a “carte blanche” approach, certain natural substances have mechanisms within them that specifically target cancer cells while leaving healthy cells alone. Furthermore, some superstar phytonutrients target cancer stem cells in particular, eliminating tumors while healing cancer at the very foundation. One such substance is Spirulina.

Spirulina algae contains phycocyanin, a green-blue pigment that is made up of protein molecules. Phycocyanin is what gives Spirulina its characteristic color and helps in the conversion of sunlight to energy through chlorophyll in a plant. Phycocyanin is also a highly-effective antioxidant and anti-inflammatory while the chlorophyll that it works with to obtain energy has been known to bind to carcinogens.

In 2013, a ground-breaking study conducted by the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center gathered a handful of “phytonutrient superfoods” together into what they hoped would be a “cancer-healing cocktail.” In addition to Phycocyanin-containing Spirulina, other phytonutrients in the mix included curcumin from turmeric, Isoflavone from soybeans, Indo-3-Carbinol from cruciferous plants, Resveratrol from grapes, and Quercetin, found in certain fruits.

The researchers were not disappointed. When combined together, the cocktail suppressed breast cancer cell growth by more than 80%! It also caused cancer cell death, inhibited the spread of the cancer, and eventually led to the death of 100% of the breast cancer cells in the sample. Other samples proved the cocktail’s effectiveness against ovarian cancer cells as well.

#2 – Spirulina Affects Melatonin Production

When it comes to breast cancer prevention and healing in particular, melatonin is vital. Melatonin, which is produced while we sleep, has a direct effect on estrogen levels in several ways. It protects from estrogen overdose and directly suppresses breast cancer cell growth by literally putting the cells to sleep. David E. Blask, PhD, of Tulane University in New Orleans is an expert in cancer biology. He demonstrated that 90% of human breast cancers have specific receptors for nighttime melatonin anticancer signaling.

Dr. Blask found that healthy melatonin levels can slow breast cancer growth by 70%. A 2015 study by the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture found that spirulina supplementation significantly increased melatonin levels in an animal model.

#3 – Spirulina Helps to Detox Heavy Metals

Heavy metal accumulation occurs through environmental exposure, the use of commercial personal products such as antiperspirants, metals in foods and pesticides, and from amalgam dental fillings. Studies have shown that heavy metal accumulation, especially of mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic, can also lead directly to cancer.

Heavy metals also contribute to a host of other bodily and especially neurological effects. Spirulina algae acts as chelator by binding with heavy metals in order to detoxify them from the body.  It contains high levels of vitamin C, vitamin E, phycocyanobilin (mentioned earlier), and beta-carotene, all of which help with oxidative stress and heavy metal chelation.

#4 – Spirulina Helps Heal the Gut and Boosts the Immune System

You may have heard that up to 80% of our immune system resides in the gut. For the immune system to do its job at fighting dis-eases like  cancer, the digestive system has to be functioning in an optimum way. This  includes the proper balance of beneficial gut flora. Several studies done with animal models have shown that Spirulina has an antimicrobial effect, especially against overgrowths of candida, and that it also promotes the growth of healthy gut flora. Spirulina can also help with strictly-digestive system related issues such as leaky gut.

Here are some other ways that Spirulina supports the Immune System:

  • Spirulina contains 2,300% more iron than spinach
  • Spirulina has 375% more protein than tofu
  • Spirulina has 3,900% more beta carotene than carrots
  • Spirulina provides 300% more calcium than whole milk
  • Spirulina is loaded with healthy fats such as GLA, EPA, DHA and ALA; important Omega-3s
  • Spirulina is a great source of B vitamins
  • Spirulina helps your body assimilate essential minerals such as selenium; and
  • A mere 3 grams of Spirulina provides more anti-inflammatory (and antioxidant) activity than five servings of vegetables!

How Do You Consume Spirulina Algae?

Spirulina can be mixed in water or juice. Sometimes the taste of Spirulina can be off-putting so mixing it in a smoothie can be a great way to mask the taste. Remember also that Spirulina is not only a super-source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, but a very potent detoxifier as well.

Be sure to start with a small amount and slowly increase over time. For cancer prevention and overall health, most health experts recommend 3-5 grams a day (roughly one teaspoon). In addition, a 2016 Chinese study found that a mere 0.5 mg of Spirulina had an effect on monkey kidney cancer cells.

A 2014 study by Charles University in Prague found that a little under 0.20 grams had an effect on human pancreatic cancer cells. If you are considering using Spirulina as part of an overall cancer-healing protocol, be sure to work directly with a qualified health professional.

The most important thing to consider when purchasing Spirulina is purity, as some lesser-quality commercial brands have been found to contain contaminants. Be sure to buy top-notch Spirulina from a reliable source that guarantees the algae comes from pure, non-polluted waters and that no fillers have been used.

Finally, for those who have digestive issues, consider fermented Spirulina, which can be absorbed with more ease.

Laetrile (amygdalin or vitamin B17)

 Website content extracted from: Laetrile (amygdalin or vitamin B17) | Complementary and alternative therapy | Cancer Research UK

Laetrile is promoted as an alternative cancer treatment. There is not enough reliable evidence that it works.

Summary

  • Laetrile is a man-made form of amygdalin, a plant substance found in some nuts, plants and seeds of fruit.
  • Claims that laetrile or amygdalin can treat cancer are not backed up by research.
  • It contains cyanide, a poison and can cause serious side effects.

What laetrile is

Laetrile is a partly man-made (synthetic) form of the natural substance amygdalin. Amygdalin is a plant substance found in raw nuts, bitter almonds, as well as apricot and cherry seeds. Plants like lima beans, clover and sorghum also contain amygdalin.

Some people call laetrile vitamin B17, although it isn’t a vitamin. 

Why people with cancer use it

Laetrile has been used as an anti cancer agent since the 1800’s. It is used either on its own or as part of a programme. This might include following a particular diet, high dose vitamin supplements and pancreatic enzymes.

Although, more recent studies have shown that laetrile can kill cancer cells in certain cancer types there is not enough reliable scientific evidence to show that laetrile or amygdalin can treat cancer. Despite this, it still gets promoted as an alternative cancer treatment.

People who use laetrile believe it might:

  • improve their health, energy levels and wellbeing
  • detoxify and cleanse the body
  • help them to live longer

How you have it

Laetrile is available as:

  • an injection (intravenously)
  • tablets
  • skin lotions
  • a liquid to put into the back passage (rectum)

Taking laetrile as tablets has more side effects than having it as an injection. This is because our digestive system breaks down the laetrile and releases cyanide. Cyanide is a type of poison.

Side effects

Laetrile contains cyanide. So the side effects of laetrile are the same as those of cyanide. These include:

  • fever
  • sickness
  • headaches
  • dizziness
  • liver damage
  • drooping eyelids
  • a lack of oxygen to the body tissues
  • a drop in blood pressure
  • nerve damage, causing loss of balance and difficulty walking
  • confusion, coma and eventually death

Avoid eating other foods containing amygdalin if you take laetrile as tablets. This may include foods like:

  • raw almonds
  • carrots
  • celery
  • apricots
  • peaches
  • bean sprouts
  • beans – mung, lima, butter and other pulses
  • nuts
  • flax seed
  • high doses of vitamin C
  • crushed fruit stones or pips

These foods are safe to eat when you’re not taking laetrile because the levels of amygdalin in them are low.

Laetrile may cause further damage to your liver if you have liver problems.

Research into laetrile as a cancer treatment

Most of the websites or magazines promoting laetrile base their claims on unsupported opinions and anecdotal evidence. There isn’t any scientific evidence that laetrile is an effective treatment for cancer or any other illness.

The Cochrane Library published a systematic review in 2015. This means that a group of experts gather all the evidence about a particular subject and go through it to work out whether there is any evidence to support it.

This review said that the claimed benefits of laetrile are not supported by controlled clinical trials. It also found a risk of serious side effects from cyanide poisoning after laetrile or amygdalin, especially after taking it by mouth.

How much it costs

No one can sell laetrile in the UK or Europe. There is not enough reliable scientific evidence that it works. It also has serious side effects and is banned in the USA by the Food and Drugs Agency (FDA).

A word of caution

It is understandable that you might want to try anything if you think it might help treat or cure your cancer. Only you can decide whether to use an alternative cancer therapy such as laetrile.

You could harm your health if you stop your cancer treatment for an unproven treatment.

Many websites promote laetrile as a cure for cancer. But no reputable scientific cancer organisations support any of these claims. Be cautious about believing this type of information or paying for any alternative cancer therapy over the internet.

Park So-hee says 17 years' of living self-sufficiently in an old-growth forest in the middle of nowhere helped her recover from colorectal cancer

By Kang Hyun-kyung

INJE COUNTY, Gangwon Province ― The ride in Park So-hee's pickup truck on the 2.2-kilometer off-road trail in Mount Jeombong, stretching from the Seolphi Village parking lot to Park's bed and breakfast, located in Gangwon Province's scenic Gombaeryeong pass, was quite an adventure.

The narrow one-way trail in the old-growth forest is bumpy and wild with plenty of natural obstacles.

Park, 58, is a tough driver. She didn't slow down even when her truck, inside which three people, including this reporter, were seated, approached a sharp bend to the right in the road.

The 10 minutes of off-road driving was nerve-racking. Driving deep into the lush forest ―home to some 856 native species ― was a thrilling experience. But, for first-time travelers like this reporter, it was a rollercoaster ride. The trail was so narrow that there was no extra space when the small pickup truck hit it. Down below was a rocky creek. Any minor mistake by the driver or a brief distraction could result in grave consequences for the safety of all those in the car.

Yet, contrary to her nervous passengers, Park was carefree.

"This trail is a lot better, compared to what it was some two decades ago when I first traveled here," Park said last Tuesday in a strong South Gyeongsang Province accent. "The trail became wider and easier to drive. Twenty years ago, driving a car here was unthinkable. This area was just forest, covered with trees and wild plants. Ten households were (and still are) living in Gangseon Village, where I now live, and people there had to travel back and forth for grocery shopping in the nearest city or to run errands there."

Park said that every day, she drives along that trail back and forth five or six times, in order to pick up her guests at the parking lot.

When her pickup truck arrived at her guesthouse, sitting snugly under the hillside, a wooden sign was spotted. "Gombaeryeong End House," the purple letters on the worn-out sign read.

Park's rustic, time-honored lodge near the end of the mountain pass is far from a fancy bed and breakfast. It's a typical old countryside house.

But it's the place where Park's new, healthy life began.

When she first visited Gangseon Village back in 1998, she was a cancer patient.

After she was diagnosed with colorectal cancer, she underwent surgery three times to remove the cancer in her large intestine at a hospital in her hometown, the southeastern coastal city of Ulsan. Then she underwent chemotherapy.

Like other cancer patients, she was shocked, depressed and so scared that she couldn't even ask her doctor if she would recover from the ailment and if she couldn't, how many days were left for her to live.

Concerned about the possible negative impacts on their already sick daughter, her parents were uneasy too. They didn't share any further details about her health condition with her, other than the fact that she had cancer.

It was only after she fully recovered from cancer that she was able to hear the full story about her health condition back then. According to her parents, her doctor was pessimistic about her recovery, telling them that her days were numbered, and that they had better prepare for their daughter's last day on Earth.

"Hearing this, my parents were desperate. They did everything to save my life. I took almost all sorts of medications, including herbal remedies, but few of them were effective," said Park. "While undergoing chemotherapy, I could barely eat one or two spoons of food each day. I was so drained that I couldn't walk. I would fall when I tried to walk a few steps forward."

Knowing that she was fighting for her life, the head monk of a Busan-based Buddhist temple encouraged Park to go to Gangseon Village in the Gombaeryeong pass region to take a rest for a few days or weeks. "He knew the head monk of the small temple in the village where I now live and thought that staying here might help me recover from my illness," she said.

Following his advice, Park visited Gombaeryeong, along with four others who were attending the same temple in Busan. Back in the late 1990s, the landscape of Gombaeryeong was quite different, according to Park. "This area was wilder than it is now. We had to walk into the mountain to arrive here…. During our five-day stay here, we were served vegetarian food made with wild plants that the monk had harvested near the temple. Three days later, my appetite came back and I was able to eat something," she said.

After returning to Ulsan, she regularly travelled back and forth to Gombaeryeong and eventually settled down in the Gangseon Village in 2004.

Gombaeryeong is a scenic mountain pass connecting the coast with the interior, attracting tourists and climbers during summertime. Derived from three words, "gom (bear)," "bae (belly)" and "ryong (a mountain pass)," the term depicts the shape of the region surrounding the mountain pass, which is like a bear lying down with its belly up in the air.

In the past, it was a trade route, for traders passing with donkeys laden with salt on their backs. Herbalists also used the path to sell their products at the inland market.

Park's early days in the old-growth forest were full of laughable mistakes.

As a city girl, she had to adjust to a whole new life in the rustic village. She had to learn everything from scratch. Cooking, washing dishes and how to do laundry ― these were all things she had not done before.

Born in the southeastern industrial city of Ulsan, Park said that she used to be a "spoiled brat."

She is the youngest of her parents' four children: two sons and two daughters. When she was born, her father was 50. He was a typical Gyeongsang Province man ― as a father he was quiet, stubborn and blunt, and he rarely expressed his emotions. He was this way at least to Park's other siblings. But for her, he was a sweet dad who would do anything for his dearest little girl. Her other siblings were jealous of her.

"My sister, who is now in her 70s, used to complain a lot about our father. She used to say that she and our two brothers had no fond childhood memories with our father, and that, in her memories, he was always so distant. She said that he used to carry me on his back, which was treatment my other siblings had never been able to enjoy while they growing up," said Park.

Her over-protective parents didn't allow their youngest daughter to do any family chores, such as washing dishes or cleaning the house.

Park studied the flute in university. After graduation, she gave private lessons to high school students preparing to study music in college.

After growing up, she was ill from time to time. She was diagnosed with leukemia at the Busan National University Hospital years before the cancer in her large intestine was found. She survived leukemia after years of treatment. Then colorectal cancer was detected as well, which eventually led her to relocate to the rustic village in Gangwon Province.

In Gangseon Village, she has lived a self-sufficient lifestyle.

Having no nearby grocery stores, she has had to improvise in the isolated, rustic village when preparing meals. She harvests various edible herbs and wild plants near her place and makes food with them.

After three years of an organic vegetarian diet, she felt one day that she had fully recovered from cancer. Miraculously, her medical checkup results confirmed that her gut feeling was correct.

"My doctor in Ulsan was surprised at the results. He asked me where I had been and how I came to recover from the cancer," said Park.

She said that she believes her rustic lifestyle, fresh air and organic diet of local, wild plants helped her recover from cancer.

"In retrospect, I think I had no other option. Grocery stores were far away from my place and it was difficult to access them. But there were lots of healthy, edible plants here, so I used them in my food," she said.

After her health improved, she purchased an old house near the temple and opened it as a bed and breakfast.

Despite its inconvenient location, her bed and breakfast is popular among travelers and climbers. During my hours-long interview with her last Tuesday, her cell phone was constantly ringing. Most of the calls were from potential guesthouse seekers, checking to see if her bed and breakfast has the specific facilities they were looking for.

Park said that the organic food served at her lodge is one of the things most talked about by her past clients.

Her recipes for food are simple. She never uses any artificial additives or preservatives. Green onions and garlic are not used in her food, either.

Soybean paste, red pepper paste and soy sauce are the three most frequently used ingredients. Although she doesn't use spices, her food is still pleasantly delicious.

Fermentation and locally-sourced fresh, organic ingredients seem to be two key things that have enabled her food to satisfy the taste buds of many travelers.

"The proportions also matter," she said. "Over the past years, I have tried hard to find the ideal proportions of ingredients that make my food taste good."

Asked to name her clients' favorite dish, she said it is vegetable jeon (fritter) made with naturally-grown, wild, edible plants that she harvested from her garden. It's the brainchild of her years of endeavoring to find her own kind of light, healthy food.

Park showed us how to make the jeon in her kitchen. She mixed together wild vegetables, flour, another white powder and water in a large bowl and. Then she poured vegetable oil into a heated pan, along with the batter.

She served the vegetable jeon with fermented iced white radish.

She said that there is one more ingredient that she put in the mixing bowl before it was fried in the heated pan, but that she won't share it with others because it's her "secret of the trade."

Asked if there's anything particular she'd like to do during the rest of her life, she said that she plans to quit her bed and breakfast when she turns 60 and at that point, would like to live a life without any restraints, a life for herself.

This Superfood May Be Key To Lower Blood Sugar Levels, Says an RD Read More: Moringa May Be Key to Lower Blood Sugar Levels, Says This RD

Website content extracted from: Moringa May Be Key to Lower Blood Sugar Levels, Says This RD | The Beet

Moringa (Moringa Oleifera), is suddenly a hot topic, as if the world just discoverd all of its many health benefits, inclduing the fact that it appears to be able to help lower blood sugar. Commonly known as “drumstick tree” or “miracle tree”, is a plant native to India and Nepal. This powerful food has been used for thousands of years in traditional Ayurvedic medicine systems in India for better digestive and heart health. This can be attributed to the nutrition of moringa leaves, which are filled with iron, potassium, and vitamin C. In recent years, this superfood has gained popularity as individuals and companies add it to smoothies, açaí bowls, and snack bars.

What is Moringa?

For thousands of years, moringa trees have been cultivated by different cultures throughout India, Africa, Pakistan, and Bangladesh for their health benefits. These trees grow flowers, leaves, bark, and drumsticks – all of which are edible and highly nutritious. In places with tropical climates, moringa seeds are used for their water purification properties. The plant also withstands extreme drought and is often used to treat malnutrition.

Health Benefits of Moringa

In an exclusive interview with The Beet, James Marin, RD, EN, an integrative registered dietitian and founder of Married to Health, explained the science-backed benefits of moringa and why it’s considered a nutritional powerhouse. Here’s why you should give it a try.

Moringa May Reduce Risk of Cancer

The moringa tree has been studied to have over 40 natural antioxidant compounds such as B-carotene, quercetin, and kaempferol. Antioxidants prevent DNA damage from free radicals that are created in metabolism, Marin says. When free radicals outnumber antioxidants, it can lead to a state called oxidative stress, which increases your risk of chronic diseases. “Polyphenols, a type of antioxidant found in moringa, provide anti-aging, anti-cancer, and mineral absorption benefits,” Marin says.

Moringa May Reduce Pain and Inflammation

“Today, most illnesses that chronically plague our society stem from consistent inflammation.  Moringa suppresses inflammatory enzymes that already exist in the body, and the moringa oleifera pod specifically has bioactive compounds that reduce inflammation in the body via protein kinase pathways,” Marin says. In a 2019 study of 40 healthy adults, participants who were regularly given a moringa powder tablet experienced a decrease in fatigue, lower back pain, shoulder stiffness, and eye soreness over the course of four weeks compared to those who did not consume the moringa. Findings suggest that moringa can be taken orally to reduce pain, however, more research is needed.

Moringa May Decrease LDL Cholesterol

Some reports and trials support the use of this plant and extracts for reducing LDL “bad” cholesterol, Marin says. LDL cholesterol is often deemed as the “bad” cholesterol because it collects in the walls of your blood vessels, which increases your risk of heart disease and stroke. A 2017 study tested the effect of moringa seed powder on lipids, liver function, and heart enzymes in rats. The study found that low doses of moringa seed improved their cholesterol levels, heart enzymes, and restored their liver function as well.

Moringa May Reduce Blood Sugar Levels

Moringa contains many healthful compounds that are beneficial for those with insulin resistance. “Many compounds found in the leaves of moringa might be involved in glucose homeostasis. Additionally, a beneficial effect of moringa includes increasing insulin activity and improving glucose uptake and utilization. Research suggests moringa can be used to reduce insulin resistance and improve blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes,” Marin says.

How To Use Moringa and Where To Find It

“Moringa is safe to be consumed in powder form, dried leaf form, and as capsules but studies suggest not to exceed 70 grams per day to avoid toxicity,” Marin says. If you plan to take moringa powder daily, make sure to speak to your doctor or healthcare provider.

Moringa is generally sold as a powder to be added to smoothies, salad dressings, açaí bowls, and more. It is also available in oil form, where you can directly apply it to the skin to improve elasticity and prevent wrinkles. The drumsticks of the moringa plant can also be used, but in stews and soups like Indian sambar and stir-fry.

It is a great way to get in your recommended amounts of vitamins and minerals. You can find moringa powder at your local health food store or online. Some products that stood out to us are Apothékary’s Moringa PowderAnima Mundi’s Moringa Superfood Powder, and Kiito Plant Protein Drink, Matcha Moringa.
