Aloe vera

Aloe vera is celebrated for its varied pharmacological properties and therapeutic uses,one of which being a promising treatment for certain types of cancers. A systematic

review of Aloe vera had accumulated a good amount of data from extensive literaturesearch on dermatology studies and clinical trials and supports the use of Aloe vera as acandidate for photodynamic therapy of some kinds of cancer. [1]

Aloe vera also contains a substance known as 1,8dihydroxy![hydroxymethyl]anthra"uinone #or simply A$%, which has been proven to induce cell death among &'(cells #human bladder cancer cell line%. A$ has notable anticancer effects and inhibits cellviability while stimulating the arrest of )'*+ of the cell cycle. [']

BaptisiaFaptisia, also known as wild indigo, is a perennial indigenous to ew $ngland. As itthrives in dry soil, it does not grow around streams or in areas of high precipitation.Faptisia has a high polysaccharide content, which makes it an immunomodulator #itstimulates the immune system%. Applied topically, Faptisia soothes inflammation andreduces redness. Historically, Faptisia was used as a natural antibioticin the treatment ofboth internal and external infections. Herbalists and homeopaths continue to useFaptisia to treat a wide range of imbalances in the body. Faptisia promotes a sense ofmental clarity, motivation, and emotional wellbeing, all of which are seen as necessarycomponents in a holistic healing program.

As a decongestant for the lymph and other drainage systems, Faptisia is best preparedas an infusion or in a tea with complementary herbs. Ehole dried Faptisia herb can beprepared as an infusion, or the whole herb can be coarsely ground and brewed as looseleaf tea or finely ground and administered in capsules made of vegetable cellulose.

Although traditionally a mortar and pestle was used to grind the Faptisia herb, a coffeegrinder will suffice.

Barberry (Berberis vulgaris)

Farberry has been used in Ayurveda #traditional 4ndian medicine% for over ',7 years. 4tis primarily used to treat fever, diarrhea, nausea, stomach upset, and fatigue, but mostrecently it has been recogni/ed as an anticancer herb. [1]

Farberry is found to have powerful antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and antibioticproperties. 4t is used interchangeably with goldenseal #more commonly used in the Eest%because the two share a similar chemical composition. +odern studies indicate thatbarberry improves immune function and reduces hypertension, and according to

Ayurvedic tradition, it is an effective treatment for liver tumors. [']&he results of a study in&aiwan indicate that when administered at high doses to cancer patients over time,berberine a potent alkaloid in barberry killed cancer cells in humans. [!]

Farberry was one of the ingredients in the Hoxsey herbal formula, which was first

marketed as a cancer cure in 1212.[(]

Blackberry Bush

Flackberry bush owes much of its anticancer property to its ellagic acid content. $llagicacid is a phenol antioxidant that can induce cancer cell death through apoptosisassociated with decreased A&B production. +ore importantly however, this apoptotic

activity comes without any toxic effect on the viability of normal human lung fibroblastcells. $llagic acid expresses selective cytotoxicity and antiproliferative activity as well. [1]

Medicinal Mushrooms

+edicinal mushrooms contain a wealth of bioactive compounds that exert cancerpreventive effects on the body and are themselves potentially novel anticancer agents.&hese compounds have a variety of biological activities, including immunomodulating,free radicalscavenging, antiinflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral,hepatoprotective, antidiabetic, and anticancer. Fecause of such, it comes withoutsurprise that medicinal mushrooms have always played an integral role in traditional@hinese medicine #&@+% as an herb that prevents or treats a variety of diseases,including cancer. +odern research in fact associates the anticancer property of medicinal

mushrooms with the ability of their active constituents to intervene with intracellularsignaling pathways related to inflammation, cell differentiation and survival, apoptosis,angiogenesis, tumor progression, and metastasis. [1]

A study from the @ancer 0esearch :aboratory of the +ethodist 0esearch 4nstitute,4ndianapolis, had demonstrated the therapeutic potential of medicinal mushroomsagainst breast cancer. According to this study, medicinal mushrooms retard theproliferation of highly invasive breast cancer cells by inducing cell cycle arrest at the)'*+ phase and inhibiting the expression of genes that regulate the cell cycle of cancercells. &he ability of breast cancer cells to adhere, migrate, and invade was alsosuppressed by the medicinal mushroom blend.

&urmeric (%urcuma longa or %urcuma edoaria)

ative to the 4ndian subcontinent and =outheast Asia, turmeric has been used since

12 F@ by Ayurvedic physicians to alleviate the symptoms of allergies andinflammation, liver complications, and rheumatism. [1]As a medicine, turmeric is taken asa tea or as an ingredient in chai, the traditional 4ndian preparation of black tea.

&he component in turmeric with anticancer potential curcumin has been researched indepth. [1]4n clinical trials, turmeric proved to be effective in preventing colon andpancreatic cancers. [1]Ehile studies have been far reaching, few conclusions have beendrawn as to whether turmeric should be used to treat cancer.

4t is reported that curcumin induces apoptosis #cell death% of cancer cells withoutcytotoxic effects on healthy cells. @urcumin achieves this via suppression of the nuclearfactorkappaF activation pathway, the activation of nuclear factorkappaF being linked toa number of inflammatory diseases including cancer. [']0ecent studies indicate thatcurcumin might have anticancer potential. Ehen administered orally to rats, curcuminproved to be effective in preventing cancer of the skin, stomach, colon, lung, andbreast. [1]

According to an in vivo study in '1, the rodent specimens that were given curcumin asa dietary supplement throughout their life cycle showed a significant reduction inpotentially cancerous cellular activity as compared to those in the controlgroup. [1]0ecently, curcumin was determined to be a regulator of genes involved incancer formation in clinical trials, it was found to inhibit the migration of lung cancercells. [1]

&he idea that curcumin might inhibit cancer cell growth has prompted the formation ofsubse"uent hypotheses. +ost recently, curcumin has been studied for its potential totreat myeloma and breast cancer. [1]
