Papaya Leaf Extract does fight cancer
Papaya has been known for its cancer fighting properties and has been used as an alternative cancer treatment option for many years, however so far there’s been no scientific evidence proving that Papaya could fight cancer.
This is no longer true!
International doctors and researchers conducted an extensive study on effects of Papaya on
cancer and their findings, which were published on March 9, 2010 in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology conclude that Papaya Leaf Extract and Papaya Leaf Tea have “dramatic cancer-fighting properties against a broad range of tumors”.
Nam Dang from the University of Florida teamed up with researchers from Japan to test the anti-cancer effects of dry Papaya Leaf Extract against cervix cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer and pancreatic cancer and found that the higher the dose of Papaya Leaf Extract was used, the more it impacted the tumor.
Cancer fighting properties of Papaya Leaf were attributed to increased production of key signaling molecules called Th1-type cytokines, which are known regulators of the immune system. Papaya extract helps to stimulate these Th1-type cytokines which in turn promote the ability of patient’s immunity to destroy cancerous cells. With proper boost, the immune system is able to fight various types of cancers without the need of harmful procedures such as chemotherapy or radiation. And since Papaya has no toxic effects on normal cells, its consumption goes without side effects.
Ten different cancer type cells were exposed to Papaya Leaf Extract for 24 hours and each of the cultures experienced slower tumor growth after exposure. Researchers repeated the test with exposure to Papaya Leaf Extract of different strengths and recorded the results for each. In conclusion, higher doses of Papaya Leaf Extract showed more powerful impact on tumor growth. Since according to this study, Papaya is able to slow down the growth of any type of tumor, no matter which type of cancer you are suffering from, Papaya could help you fight it.
