Artemisia Annua Annihilates 98% Of Cancer Cells In Just 16 Hours

Flashback:

Artemisia-Annua-Amazing Herb Kills 98 Percent Of Cancer Cells In Just 16 Hours

Artemisia annua also happens to be one of the most important herbs for Lyme disease, malaria and ”’autoimmune”’ diseases.

Aaaand it’s very easy to grow (and produces an enormous amount of seeds)!!!!!

***

Asian herb annihilates cancer cells in 16 hours:

There’s a powerful, health-boosting herb from Asia that you need to know about. It’s in the same family as the daisy and the sunflower. But it has a hidden talent that neither of its relatives has…

It can demolish breast cancer cells in as little as 16 hours.

Now, the Chinese have used this herb for over 2,000 years to break fevers, improve digestive health and expel parasites. (In fact, it’s used across the world as a cure for malaria because of its powerful ability to get rid of those nasty little buggers.)

But it’s most impressive power to date is annihilating cancer cells. And the scientific evidence supporting its anti-cancer prowess is astounding…

Breast cancer cells, leukemia cells, gallbladder cancer cells, lung cancer cells, bladder cancer cells, brain cancer cells, prostate cancer cells — research shows that none of these stand a chance against an unassuming little herb known as sweet wormwood.

The reason cancer cells cower in sweet wormwood’s presence is because it contains a compound called artemisinin. Artemesinin kills everything from parasites to bacteria to fungus to cancer cells… while leaving healthy cells unscathed.

Now, there is a trick to killing cancer cells with artemisinin. On its own, artemisinin can kill cancer cells (in one study it killed about 28 percent of breast cancer cells). But its true cancer-killing power is unleashed when it’s combined with iron.

That’s because iron activates artemisinin’s drive to seek and destroy. Which is why it’s so good at treating malaria — the malaria parasite is packed with iron. And cancer cells tend to be iron-rich too. They need iron to replicate and will steal it from other cells so they can keep reproducing at a rapid pace.

A 2012 study published in the journal Anticancer Drugs found that breast cancer cells treated with iron and artemisinin died at lightning speed — 98 percent were dead within 16 hours.

This is the most dramatic example of what artemisinin can do to cancer cells, but it’s far from the only example…

A 2016 study published in the journal Nutrition Research and Practice found that artemisinin also kills glioblastoma brain cancer cells. But, yet again, it was most effective when combined with iron.

Other studies published just this year show that artemisinin kills head and neck cancer cells, bladder cancer cells, leukemia cells, lung cancer cells, prostate cancer cells, colon cancer and bone cancer cells. Just to reiterate, these studies were all published this year… and the year’s not even over yet!

Too much testing is dangerous: Prostate cancer screening does NOT save lives, puts men at risk according to groundbreaking study

Personally, I would eat a healthy diet, drink lots of (distilled) water, take iodine (Lugol’s solution) and selenium and prevent prostate cancer altogether.

(See related info down below.)

*****

Too much testing is dangerous: Prostate cancer screening does NOT save lives, puts men at risk according to groundbreaking study:

Routine cancer screening is notorious for giving false positives, leading to unnecessary diagnoses for benign cancers. False diagnoses for prostate cancer are commonplace, and they devastate patients emotionally. When someone is told they have cancer they are often stricken with anxiety. The false diagnosis also leads to an aggressive, expensive, and many times deadly treatment protocol consisting of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Significant complications may result too, including incontinence and impotence. Those who survive the unnecessary treatment protocol are often told they are cancer-free, making the unnecessary testing and treatment protocol appear effective when it was really just an expensive scam.

Regular screening for prostate cancer for men over fifty years old may also miss the more serious cancers, leaving patients with a false sense of assurance in their own health. Too much testing is an emotional danger, either burdening patients with a false diagnosis or leading them on a course where nothing is done to improve their health even when there are real cancer conditions inside their body.

The Borax Conspiracy – How the Arthritis Cure has been stopped

I’ve posted this article before.

This article mentions a high dose for strong fungal/Candida problems such as autoimmune diseases, cancer or dementia.

From the article:

“Borax, similar to the equally endangered Lugol’s iodine solution, can also be used to remove accumulated fluoride and heavy metals from the body (14). Fluoride not only causes bones to deteriorate, but also the pineal gland to calcify and the thyroid to become underactive.”

Commentary:

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
– Hippocrates

“If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.”
– Hippocrates

Bread, eggs, milk and meat contain practically NO boron!!!

Meat contains 0,04 mg boron per 100 g.

Milk contains 0,03 mg boron per 100 g.

Eggs contain 0,07 mg boron per 100 g.

Corn-salad-Valerianella-locusta

Corn Salad (Valerianella Locusta) contains 27,5 – 35 mg boron per 100 g.

Quinces 8,6 -17,4 mg per 100 g.

Dandelion 8,5 -16 mg per 100 g.

Beetroot 2,1 mg per 100 g.

Lapacho (Pau d’arco) contains high amounts of boron and is used to cure cancer.

I see borax as a short-term cure and consider it to be of the utmost importance to rely on a healthy diet as long-term cure and prevention of any and all disease.

If you are drinking green vegetable juices (Carrots, beets, spinach, salad, cucumber etc.) and include herbs like nettles, dandelion, goatweed, chickweed, then you are bombarding the body with vital nutrients in the best and readily available form.

The Borax Conspiracy – How the Arthritis Cure has been stopped:

Walter Last

You may not be able to imagine that borax, this humble insecticide and laundry detergent, has the potential of singlehandedly bringing down our entire economic system. But you do not need to worry, the danger has been recognised and the necessary steps are already being taken to defuse the situation. I will start with the basics and you will understand what I mean as the story unfolds.

Borax is a naturally occurring mineral commonly mined from dried salt lakes, and is the source of other manufactured boron compounds. The main deposits are in California and Turkey. Chemical names are sodium tetraborate decahydrate, disodium tetraborate decahydrate, or simply sodium borate. This means it contains four atoms of boron as its central feature combined with two sodium atoms and ten molecules (or sometimes less) of crystallisation water – decahydrate means 10 water molecules, pentahydrate 5, and anhydrate or anhydrous borax means no crystallisation water; chemically it is all the same.

Borax is commonly sold as technical or agricultural grade with 99 to 99.5% minimum purity. Potential impurities consist of sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, bicarbonate, carbonate, sulphate and phosphate but not toxic or heavy metals. This grade includes the borax commonly used as household cleaner. Pharmaceutical grade is not noticeably purer or better.

Neem Shows Promise in Prostate Cancer Treatment

Neem Shows Promise in Prostate Cancer Treatment:

By Dr. Mercola

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. According to the latest statistics, about 181,000 men get diagnosed with prostate cancer every year in the U.S.

However, while common, it has a survival rate of about 86 percent. Of those diagnosed, about 26,000 die from the disease each year.1

Unfortunately, conventional diagnostics and treatment options for prostate cancer leave much to be desired. Conventional diagnosis includes PSA testing and biopsy, which are prone to false positives and carry risks of side effects.

Dandelion Root Extract Found To Kill Leukemia Cells, Prostate Cancer Cells And Chemo-Resistant Melanoma

Dandelion-Flowers-Plant-Nature

Dandelion root extract found to kill leukemia cells, prostate cancer cells and chemo-resistant melanoma:

They might not be welcome in your yard, but it turns out that dandelions have tremendous potential when it comes to helping people who are suffering from cancer.

Chemo-resistant melanoma is now the most common type of cancer affecting Americans aged 25 to 29. The only option doctors can presently offer these patients is surgery to remove the tumor and its surroundings, followed by immunotherapy, which does not usually work when the melanoma has metastasized.

However, all that looks set to change, thanks to a humble plant that many people pull out of their gardens and throw away. At the University of Windsor in Ontario, the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry has shown that dandelion root extract can cause human melanoma cells to essentially kill themselves without leading to any type of toxicity. In fact, their initial study saw cancer cells disintegrating within 48 hours, while healthy cells remained unaffected. The study was led by Professor Siyaram Pandey, PhD.

A groundbreaking 14-year study was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology called “The Contribution of Cytotoxic Chemotherapy to 5-year Survival in Adult Malignancies”.

Read the full study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology (Dec. 2004) here (and take a look at those tables at page 3 & 4):

“The Contribution of Cytotoxic Chemotherapy to 5-year Survival in Adult Malignancies” (PDF)

Studied were the 5-year survival rates of chemotherapy on 22 types of cancers in the US and Australia.

154,971 Americans & Australians cancer patients, age 20 and older, were treated with chemotherapy.

The survival of only 3,306 could be ‘credited’ to chemo.

A short info from WebMD:

The contribution of cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adult malignancies:

Study Results: “The overall contribution of curative and adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adults was estimated to be 2.3% in Australia and 2.1 % in The USA”

Study Conclusion:“As the 5-year survival rate in Australia is now over 60%, it is clear that cytotoxic chemotherapy only makes a minor contribution to cancer survival.To justify the continued funding and availability of drugs used in cytotoxic chemotherapy, a rigorous evaluation of the cost-effectiveness and impact on quality of life is urgently required.”

Chemotherapy contributed on average only 2,1% to the overall survival rate!

Hippocrates Was Right: ‘Death Begins In The Colon’ (A MUST-WATCH VIDEO)

Now it should be easily understood why I highly recommend to do first colon hydrotherapy (about 3-6 sessions) and then daily enemas to everybody that wants to get rid of cancer, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, depression, migraine, neurodermatitis, psoriasis, acne (or whatever name your disease has been given), in addition to a complete diet change (fresh vegetable juices, green smoothies, salads, etc. – no processed foods, no meat, no dairy, no white bread, no white sugar, no table salt, no MSG, no Aspartame and other artificial sweeteners), drinking only steam distilled water [and some herbal teas made with it] and exercise (a mini trampoline is great, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, stretching).

On top of that I recommend (and use) acupuncture, osteopathy, herbal medicine, neural therapy, homeopathy, reflexology, etc. to help people getting well again. 


Here is what is shown in the video:

“Death begins in the colon” 

– Hippocrates (460 BC –  370 BC)

  1. A normal colon
  2. A normal colon of a 75-year-old female, vegetarian
  3. 38-year-old female, chronic constipation. Diet consists of white bread, yoghurt, cakes, cheese, 3-4 cups of coffee daily.
  4. 45-year-old female, breast CA, chronic constipation
  5. 52-year-old male, prostate CA, chronic constipation
  6. 65-year-old female, breast CA, breast cancer surgery, chronic constipation
  7. And again, here’s how a healthy colon should look like.

The garbage in your colon may weigh up to 15kg!!! Get it out!

Change your diet, drink distilled water and reclaim your health.

Warren Buffett Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer

Warren Buffett diagnosed with prostate cancer (CNNMoney, April 17, 2012):

NEW YORK  — Iconic investor Warren Buffett announced Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with stage I prostate cancer in a letter to shareholders of his firm Berkshire Hathaway.

Buffett, 81, said his “condition is not remotely life-threatening or even debilitating in any meaningful way,” and that additional tests didn’t reveal incidence of cancer anywhere else in his body.

Buffett also said he will undergo daily radiation for two months beginning in mid-July. While the treatment will restrict him from traveling during the period, Buffett said his daily routine will not otherwise change.

“I feel great — as if I were in my normal excellent health — and my energy level is 100%,” wrote Buffett. “I will let shareholders know immediately should my health situation change. Eventually, of course, it will; but I believe that day is a long way off.”

Ginger Destroys Cancer More Effectively than Death-Linked Cancer Drugs (Natural Society, Mar 27, 2012):

Ginger, a cousin spice of super anti-cancer substance turmeric, is known for its ability to shrink tumors. Astoundingly, it is even more effective than many cancer drugs, which have been shown to be completely ineffective and actually accelerate the death of cancer patients. Commonly consumed across the world in small doses among food and beverage products, the medicinal properties of ginger far surpass even advanced pharmaceutical inventions.

The subject of one study based out of Georgia State University, whole ginger extract was revealed to shrink prostate tumor size by a whopping 56% in mice. The anticancer properties were observed in addition to ginger’s role in reducing inflammation as well as being a rich source of life-enhancing antioxidants. But what about cancer drugs? Could this simple spice really topple the advanced pharmaceuticals that are often touted as the ‘only option’ for cancer patients by medical doctors?

Vitamin D prevents heart disease (… and 77% of all cancers)

vitamin-d-prevents-heart-disease-and-77-percent-of-all-cancers
The sunshine vitamin

(NaturalNews) The fact that vitamin D prevents cancer is now so well known that even some conventional physicians are beginning to recommend it. Vitamin D prevents 77% of all cancers, after all. That’s as close to a “cure” for cancer as you’ll ever get (and it’s free, too, since you can make it yourself!).

But did you also know that vitamin D prevents heart disease? In fact, most people suffering from heart disease are chronically deficient in vitamin D. By correcting their vitamin D levels (through sunlight exposure or by taking vitamin D3 supplements), people can simultaneously halt cancer and prevent heart disease, too.

Here’s a collection of research revealing the amazing power of this “miracle” vitamin to eliminate heart disease. I’d like to add, though, that the previously recommended daily intake of 400 IUs of vitamin D is now considered hazardously low. Most nutritionally-aware doctors and naturopaths are now recommending anywhere from 1,000 – 4000 IUs per day of vitamin D supplementation. Of course, you don’t need any vitamin D supplements if you get sufficient sunlight on your skin on a regular basis.

Vitamin D prevents heart disease

Diabetes, both type-1 and type-2, are profoundly linked to low vitamin D levels. Obesity, heart disease, hypertension and stroke are inversely related to sunlight exposure and vitamin D levels. Psoriasis, eczema, and periodontal disease are lessened by sunlight exposure and high serum vitamin D. Fertility is positively influenced by sunlight exposure and high vitamin D levels. Sunlight enhances immune system function by producing vitamin D. Dozens of disorders other than those mentioned in this summary are related to vitamin D deficiency.
– Solar Power for Optimal Health by Marc Sorenson

Vitamin D supplements are likely to be useful in preventing diabetes in areas where vitamin D deficiency is common. In a 1997 study looking at the links between environmental factors and Type II diabetes, vitamin D levels were assessed in 142 Dutch men aged from 70 to 88 years of age. Thirty-nine per cent were found to have low vitamin D levels and tests showed that low vitamin D levels increased the risk of glucose intolerance. Heart disease: Low vitamin D levels may also increase the risk of atherosclerosis.

Study: More than one million American men received needless treatment for prostate cancer

psa-test1
Men in their fifties are now 3.6 times more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than before the PSA test. Men younger than 50 are now 7.2 times more likely to be diagnosed, according to the study.( AFP/Getty Images)

OTTAWA — More than one million American men have gone through needless treatment for prostate cancer since the PSA test became common more than 20 years ago, a medical journal study says.

And the study’s author says Canadian men face the same problem of “overdiagnosis,” causing them to have surgery and radiation treatment that can cause impotence, incontinence and pain.

This doesn’t mean diagnosing cancer where none exists, says the study and editorial in Monday’s Journal of the National Cancer Institute. It means that many men had a form of cancer that could have been left alone safely.

Doctors have long known this can happen with PSA tests, which measure a chemical in the body whose level increases when prostate cancer is present, the study says. But the authors claims to have the first firm count of how many men are affected.

Lifestyle Changes Boost Enzyme Regulating Cell Aging

TUESDAY, Sept. 16 (HealthDay News) — Major lifestyle changes can help improve levels of an enzyme called telomerase that controls cell aging, say California researchers.

Telomerase repairs and lengthens telomeres, which are DNA-protein complexes at the end of chromosomes that directly affect how quickly cells age. As telomeres become shorter and their structural integrity weakens, cells age and die more quickly, according to background information in a University of California, Irvine, new release. Shortening of telomeres is emerging as a marker of disease risk and premature death in many types of cancer, including prostate, lung, breast and colorectal cancers.

Low Sperm Counts and Deformed Penises: The Chemical Industry Has a Hold on Your Reproductive Future

By Joshua Zaffos, Colorado Springs Independent
Posted on June 26, 2008

From car seats to condoms, nasty compounds have invaded our lives.
Hormones are going haywire, and our human future is at risk.

I am half the man my father is.

This disturbing fortune came to me about five years ago, but not from an odd relative or a sadistic girlfriend. Instead, this dinner-table diagnosis came from Theo (short for Theodora) Colborn, an internationally known scientist who has helped develop the field of research exploring how chemical compounds interfere with the hormones that guide human development.

Known as endocrine disruption, chemicals found in computer screens and car seats, shower curtains and shampoo, plastic water bottles and prophylactics are skewing our odds against cancers and causing developmental delays and reproductive roadblocks, including declining sperm counts.

So, when Colborn informed me of my inferior manhood, I took consolation in the fact that she was indicting my entire generation — and her own — for loading our natural environment, our workplaces and our homes with tens of thousands of chemical compounds without really having a clue about what we’re doing. Our Stolen Future, the book Colborn co-authored in 1996, first delivered this bad news to the general public.

More than a decade later, scientists are still conducting experiments and measuring results, from cramped basement labs at universities to expansive high-country lakes in the wilderness. The hypotheses generally aren’t questions of whether chemicals are pervading and persisting in the environment, but rather how severely they are stunting our development and health. The federal government has investigated these questions with timidity, if not contempt, operating a regulatory system practically beholden to the chemical industry.

With half of my manhood at stake and hopes for a better assessment in the future, I’m wondering how we can heed the warning signs and reverse our chemical course.

A day in my half-life

For years, I started off each day drinking coffee out of a metallic cup, likely coated with bisphenol-A, a chemical commonly used to line plastic bottles and other food and beverage cans and containers. Anyone who has lugged around a Nalgene bottle made of polycarbonate plastic, trying to save the Earth one paper cup at a time, has gotten his or her share of bisphenol-A, which leaches from containers into liquids to enter our bodies. A U.S. Centers for Disease Control study detected bisphenol-A in 93 percent of all Americans.

Inside us, bisphenol-A mimics estrogen, plugging into hormone receptors; this is endocrine disruption. In pregnant or breastfeeding mothers and young and prepubescent children, it can have critical impacts, rewiring our developmental profiles and opening up our risks for cancers and physical and behavioral abnormalities. Lab tests suggest that chronic, low-dose exposure to bisphenol-A — like drinking out of a coated cup or polycarbonate bottle daily — may cause women to have greater chances of breast cancer and polycystic ovary syndrome, a leading cause of infertility, and men to have increased odds of prostate cancer and reduced sperm counts.

That’s a lot to think about during the day’s first cup of coffee or sip of water. Now I try to stick to ceramic mugs and glasses.

As my body starts to properly caffeinate in the mornings, I usually sit in front of a laptop and do whatever it is writers do to put off writing — checking e-mails and boxscores — until I’m warmed up. As a computer warms up, particles inside start to fly and some catch a ride on dust. For years, I breathed in polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) from my laptop.

These compounds are flame-retardants, nearly universally used in couch cushions, televisions, cars and carpets. PBDEs have similar chemical structures to thyroid hormones, and, according to lab tests, they can lower our bodies’ production of the real thing.

Over time, thyroid-hormone deficiencies can hurt metabolism. Hypothyroidism causes fatigue, depression, anxiety, hair loss and a waning libido. Women with low thyroid-hormone counts are five times more likely to have children with IQs that qualify them as mildly retarded, according to one study. A 2005 experiment found that a single low dose of a common PDBE given to rats in utero resulted in a class of hyperactive rodents with persistent low sperm counts.

Chemicals in Plastic Shown to Cause Reproductive and Neurological Disorders

(NaturalNews) Our children’s brains and reproductive organs may be having their development harmed by an estrogen-like chemical that is present in plastic according to a federal health agency report. BPA is an ingredient in polycarbonate plastic. BPA is also one of the most widely used synthetic chemicals today. It has been shown to seep from hard plastic beverage containers (such as baby bottles) and even from liners in cans that contain food and infant formula.

The National Toxicology Program (part of the National Institutes of Health) has concluded that there is some concern that fetuses, babies and children are being harmed because bisphenol A (BPA) has been shown to harm animals at levels that are surprisingly low and found in nearly all humans.

The draft report followed an 18-month review that involved allegations of bias, disputes among scientists, and even the firing of a consulting company that had financial ties to the chemical industry.

Some scientists fear that BPA exposure early in life disrupts hormones and alters genes. This may program a fetus or child for breast or prostate cancer, may set them up for premature female puberty, and may lead to attention deficit disorders and other reproductive or neurological disorders.

Health Problem Linked To Chemical In Plastics

A chemical used in all kinds of plastic, including baby bottles and food containers, could be linked to a prostate and breast cancer, a preliminary government report has found.

The federal National Toxicology Program said yesterday that experiments on rats found precancerous prostate tumors, urinary system problems and early puberty when the animals were fed or injected with low doses of the chemical, bisphenol-A.

The latest draft significantly increased the chemical’s risk level from a bisphenol-A statement the government released last year.

“It’s an important step to have a federal agency acknowledge that it has concerns about bisphenol-A and breast cancer and prostate cancer,” said Pete Myers, chief scientist for Environmental Health Sciences, a nonprofit that raises awareness of chemical risks. “It’s a scary compound.”
