Researchershave used a traditional Chinese medicine to create a compound that is
more than 1,200 times more specific in killing certain kinds of cancer
cells than currently available drugs.
The new compound is derived from artemisinin, which is made from the
sweet wormwood plant (Artemisia annua L), an herb that has been used in
Chinese medicine for at least 2,000 years, and is eaten in salads in
some Asian countries.
The scientists attached a chemical homing device to artemisinin that
targets the drug selectively to cancer cells, sparing healthy cells.
"The compound is like a special agent planting a bomb inside the cell,"
said chemistry professor Tomikazu Sasaki, who worked on developing the
compound.
The compound Sasaki and his colleagues developed kills about 12,000 cancer cells for every healthy cell.

It is encouraging to see research on natural options for treating cancer, especially with herbs that have proven particularly effective for malaria.
However, human trials of the artemisinin-derived therapy are years away
and the subtleties of dosing will likely benefit from further testing.
Fortunately, you don’t have to wait to use the BEST chemotherapy
agent yet discovered that will work synergistically with virtually
every other treatment. There are over 830 peer reviewed scientific
studies showing its effectiveness in the treatment of cancer.
Not only is this approach almost without any side effects, but the treatment is virtually free.
So just what is this miracle therapy?
Why vitamin D, of course.
Vitamin D is not actually a vitamin but a powerful neuro-regulatory steroid that influences over 2000 genes in your body.
I believe it is virtually criminal malpractice to not optimize
vitamin D levels when treating someone with cancer. Levels of vitamin D
should be around 65-90 ng/ml. If the test is done in the U.S. it should
only be done with LabCorp at this time, as Quest has inaccurate and
falsely elevated results.
Prevention is Better Than a Cure
In addition to normalizing your vitamin D levels, which will reduce
your risk of cancer by over 50 percent, there are a number of other
strategies you and your family can deploy which will virtually
eliminate your risk of cancer altogether.
Cancer is a nutritional-environmental-emotional disease process,
which can quite often be successfully reversed through the application
of sound nutritional practices and lifestyle changes. The most
effective strategies according to my own experience and the experiences
of patients at my clinic are:
- Connect your mind with your body
I am convinced, and the CDC agrees,
the majority of illness is caused by negative, unmanaged emotions. On
your path to preventing disease, you should start right here.
If
you focus on pain, misery and grief, it’s likely you’ll experience and
attract more of it into your life. However, if you keep your focus on what you want to experience and put some energy into healthy lifestyle choices, your body will
respond accordingly. Before you know it you will start to feel much
better.
Find a tool that will permanently erase the neurological
short-circuiting that can activate cancer genes. One of the best
approaches to processing your negative emotions is the Emotional Freedom Technique, and I highly recommend it.
Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer has also done wonderful work with his German New Medicine technique for solving emotional conflicts as the first step in healing disease.
- Discover your Nutritional Type™ and eat according to your specific needs.
When you feed your body the right type of fuel, you activate one of the most powerful anti-cancer strategies available.
- Avoid processed foods, grains and sugars as much as possible in order to control your insulin levels.
- Exercise.
Appropriate exercise helps drive your insulin levels down.
Controlling your insulin levels is one of the most effective methods
for reducing your cancer risk.
Eat as many fresh, organic vegetables as you are comfortable with, depending on your nutritional type. For example, if you’re a carb type, you may need up to three times the vegetables required by a protein type.
When selecting vegetables keep in mind that fresh, conventionally grown produce is preferable to organic that has grown old and wilted in the grocery store.
- Normalize your ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats by taking a high-quality krill oil or fish oil and reducing your intake of most processed vegetable oils.
- Optimize your vitamin D levels by getting plenty of sunshine and consider careful supplementation when this is not possible. If you
take oral vitamin D and have cancer, make sure to monitor your vitamin
D blood levels regularly.
- Maintain an ideal body weight.
- Get sufficient high-quality sleep.
