A Curry For Cancer

Curry, new anti-cancer treatment

Curry had long been thought to have healing powers in
certain cultures; a new study finds that the bright yellow
curry spice, turmeric, can also kill off cancer cells.

While many studies are assessing the effects of curcumin --
a compound commonly found in curry -- in treating arthritis
and dementia; the study published in the British Journal of
Cancer reported that the extract can start killing cancer
cells within 24 hours.

It, however, loses its anti-cancer properties as soon as it
is digested.

Faulty cells normally die through apoptosis or programmed
suicide when proteins known as caspases are switched on in
these cell; curcumin, however, is believed to use an
alternative cell signaling system to make these cells digest
themselves.

The extract has shown promising results in killing
esophageal cancer cells — one of the leading cancers in the
modern world linked to rising rates of obesity, alcohol
intake and reflux disease — in the laboratory.

Scientists are optimistic that their findings will help
develop new methods to treat cancer.

A government, of Israel, by Israel, and, for: Israel.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the
light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth
in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is
the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full
of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of
darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great
is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my
burden is light.
