‘Magic seed’ stops cancer cells in their tracks
Could you imagine finding a CURE for cancer… in a humble condiment?
It almost BLOWS THE MIND to think that a tool for BEATING BACK cancer could be found in our own kitchens…
Sitting there on the shelves of our own pantries!
And yet we’re none the wiser.
Scientists, however, are taking a closer look at a delicious seed that we’ve all eaten before…
And figuring out how it might help ARM us against this terrible disease… which right now has NO cure.
Followers of the ancient Hindu faith consider it a symbol of immortality…
And the tales of “Arabian Nights” considered it MAGICAL.
Here’s what the science says.
A cancer weapon… on a burger bun??
Research has demonstrated the ability of sesame oil products to help BEAT BACK excess inflammation…
Which could OBVIOUSLY help in the fight against cancer.
But there’s more…
Because a compound found in sesame seeds… a type of lignan called sesaminol… helps REDUCE oxidative stress…
Literally helping to BEAT BACK the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) – the culprits behind oxidative stress and damage.
And another lignan, called sesamin, has shown in studies to SLOW or even STOP the growth of cancer cells.
It works in part by SABOTAGING the formation of blood vessels surrounding cancer cells, known as angiogenesis…
As well as TRIGGERING “cell suicide,” a.k.a. apoptosis.
BOTH of those mechanisms are important – because first you CHOKE the cancer cells of their food supply, and then you FORCE them to “off” themselves!
And the hallmark characteristic of cancer cells is that they have a tremendous ability to SURVIVE and MULTIPLY… almost to the point of becoming IMMORTAL…
And TAKE OVER healthy tissue.
Sesame’s actions have been shown to be effective against cell cultures of…
- lung cancer
- breast cancer
- colon cancer
- blood cancer (specifically, leukemia)
- skin cancer (melanoma)
- liver cancer
- and more.
Now, these experiments happened in a lab dish (in vitro) and not in real people…
And it’s too soon to know what might happen in clinical trials on cancer patients.
But you can ask your doc or nutritionist about adding high-quality, organic sesame oil to your routine…
Or, incorporating more sesame seeds into your diet.
You’ll find the most sesaminol in ones that contain the hull.
One example is black sesame seeds (“Hei Zhi Ma” in Traditional Chinese Medicine)… which you can find in capsule form from quality supplement makers like Swanson.
You can also find sesamin and sesaminol in a sesame lignans supplement.
