‘Waste’ byproducts of longan pack cancer-fighting potential

[Shocking] Have we been THROWING OUT this ancient cancer cure?

When you’ve got cancer, you’ll leave no stone unturned.

Every overlooked… under appreciated… and even SUPPRESSED cancer therapy is fair game.

Even if natural cures don’t HELP… they probably won’t HARM you.

But traditional cancer treatments like chemo and radiation will DEFINITELY do some damage.

There’s ONE place where you might find the latest cancer breakthrough… but neither you NOR your doc are looking for it there.

The garbage.

That’s exactly where you’ll find the most POTENT parts of an ancient Asian plant – one that could contain the cure you’ve been praying for.

Waste not, want not

The history of longan (Dimocarpus longan) dates all the way back to China’s Han Dynasty— 200 B.C.

This tropical fruit has grown abundantly in China and throughout Asia since…

But Western civilization REFUSED to acknowledge the healing fruit until about 250 years ago.

And it’s still UNHEARD OF in this country.

The Chinese still pick it by hand… and only early in the morning…

They call it “Long Yan Rou,” which literally means “dragon eye.” — its berries

contain a black seed with a white mark on it that makes it look like an eyeball!

That may make the longan SOUND mythical…

But its ability to beat back cancer is very REAL.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, longan berries are among only three “superfruits” used for their healing properties.

Recent studies have uncovered the “excellent antioxidant activity” of longan extracts… much of which can be attributed to its high content of vitamin C.

In fact, longan berry contain 80% of your daily C requirement – though granted, the feds THINK you need less than you actually DO.

That much C can definitely help boost your immunity… a CRITICAL component of your cancer fight.

But that’s not all…

Longan also contains a number of cancer-fighting phenolic acids like gallic acid and ellagic acid, both known for their anti-cancer effects.

Longan berries are so popular in China both medicinally and gastronomically that the fruits have got nothing to prove.

The rest of the plant, however, is a different matter.

Because the seeds and flowers are usually THROWN AWAY.

But those “waste products” could be just power weapons in your cancer-fighting arsenal!

In fact, the SEEDS have been found to have the HIGHEST concentration of those phenolics…

And the fruit pulp has the LOWEST!

Dried seeds have also exhibited the STRONGEST free radical scavenging activity, as compared to fresh seeds or the dried fruit pulp.

In a 2012 study, Chinese researchers found the extract of another “useless” byproduct of the fruit harvest — the longan flower — to be effective in beating back colorectal cancer cells.

It works by interfering with the synthesis of DNA in cancer cell lines… therefore disrupting cell division and even inducing “cell suicide” (a.k.a. apoptosis).

Even the fruit’s brown peel (a.k.a. the pericarp) has shown powerful anti-inflammatory action in a lab.

As of right now, you can find longan fruit “berries” at your local Asian product market… or the fruit extract in powdered form in the supplement aisle or online (where it might be labeled by their synonymous scientific name, Euphoria longan).

But in the meantime, keep your eyes open for those OTHER… more POWERFUL… parts of the fruit to become available as a potent extract.
