Aztec offering delivers a LETHAL blow to cancer cells [10X better than chemo!]

Your cancer doc will tell you he’s doing the best he can…

But if he’s STICKING to conventional therapies… and IGNORING natural therapies…

He can do BETTER.

And the science CONFIRMS it.

Because there are drug-free ways to help beat back cancer… and ways to make drugs MORE EFFECTIVE against cancer and LESS HARMFUL to healthy tissue.

Here’s a South American “superfood” that packs a KILLER punch when it comes to targeting tumors…

And making sure you don’t get DESTROYED in the process.

A godly ‘grain’

The “ancient grain” amaranth gets its name from the Greek word “amarantos,” which means “everlasting.”

True to its name, it’s been cultivated for at least 8,000 years… most notably by the Aztecs of Mesoamerica, who called it “huāuhtli” and incorporated it into their ritualistic offerings to the gods.

Because it could survive growing conditions that many other crops couldn’t, it also became an Aztec staple food.

Somehow along the way… after the Spaniards conquered South America… amaranth CEASED to be REVERED…

So much so that it was nicknamed “pigweed”!

It wasn’t until the 1970s that scientists in this country took another look at amaranth… and began to understand why it had been so TREASURED.

Now, we call amaranth a “grain,” but in the plant kingdom it’s technically a “pseudocereal.”

Its “grain” is actually a seed – one that contains a type of protein building block called a peptide that has shown anti-cancer qualities in the laboratory.

The science on this is still evolving… but researchers have begun discovering how this peptide can BLOCK the formation of cancer

That’s just scratching the surface…

Because it turns out that amaranth is an ABUNDANT source of an anti-cancer compound called squalene.

You may have heard of it being extracted from olive oil…

But amaranth seed has over 10X the squalene content of olive oil!

Scientists first discovered squalene… which our bodies actually make tiny amounts of… as a precursor to plant hormones called steroids or sterols.

It’s also involved in the formation of cholesterol in humans.

But it’s its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions that make it a PROMISING prospect for inclusion in your cancer-fighting toolbox.

Like that peptide I just mentioned earlier, squalene exerts a protective effect against the development of cancer…

Namely by keeping DNA damage at bay… and OPTIMIZING immune function.

Those benefits have PIQUED the interest of researchers looking for add-ons to conventional cancer therapies…

Since, as we know, they don’t always KILL your cancer at doses that won’t KILL you.

This seed compound, however, appears to have really stepped up to the plate.

In a 2017 study out of France, adding squalene helped the chemo drug cisplatin work 10X better at killing colon cancer cells than the drug alone.

It doesn’t just work on ONE type of cancer drug.

Because in another study, researchers gave squalene combined with doxorubicin to mice with pancreatic cancer and were able to reduce tumor growth by 95%.

Compare that to “normal” doxorubicin, which reduced pancreatic tumor growth by a mere 29%.

Because of this, researchers are calling squalene a “carrier” for cancer drug delivery…

Research has shown how squalene’s protective character has helped study subjects tolerate chemo doses that are 5X higher than the drug on its own.

And fortunately, you don’t need A LOT of squalene in order to reap its benefits.

There are a few species in the Amaranthus genus that are being researched for their seeds’ anti-cancer potential… including A. hypochondriacus, A. caudatus, and A. cruentus.

And that’s not even counting the studies focusing on whole-plant extracts and amaranth leaves!

If you’re interested in including amaranth into a cancer-fighting diet, you can get amaranth seed… flour… or food-grade seed oil at your local health food store.

You may also be able to find amaranth seed extract or oil in capsule form, standardized to contain a minimum percentage of squalene.

Most squalene supplements are derived from either olive oil or shark liver (yikes!)… but amaranth supplements are both vegetarian and gluten-free.

To outlasting cancer,
