Compound in Celery Found to Destroy 86% of Lung
Cancer Cells
Many foods have a number of
health benefits, while others stand above the rest as disease
fighting wonders – at least in some specific departments. Celery is
one of them. The food has been found to be extremely effective
at killing ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, breast, liver, and lung
cancer cells. In fact, in a recent study, celery killed up to 86%
of cancer cells in the lungs (in vitro).
What makes celery so powerfully
anti-cancerous? This nutritious, and low-calorie food
seems unassuming. It is mostly water, after all,
but in addition to calming your nervous system, aiding
digestion, reducing inflammation, and
lowering blood pressure, celery also contains an anti-cancer
compound called apigenin, which has been effective at
causing apoptosis (cell suicide) in numerous types of cancer cells.
Researchers in China have found that by eating just two medium
stalks of celery 2 to 3 times a week can reduce the risk of getting
lung cancer by an amazing 60%. It is still not definitive through the
scientists research, however, if the apigenin alone does the work of
killing cancerous cells or if they work in cooperation with
other compounds found in celery
“Apigenin widely inhibits cell proliferation of
various lung cancer cell lines in a dose-dependent manner and the
combination treatment of apigenin and antitumor drugs is very
effective in human lung cancer cells, and Nrf2-ARE pathway may
contribute to the mechanism.”
And another study’s abstract focusing on
the broader impact of fruit and vegetable intake on cancer concluded:
“In particular, high
intake of Chinese cabbage (OR = 0.53), chives (OR = 0 .54), carrots
(OR = 0.51) and celery (OR = 0.40) was inversely associated with lung
cancer. The OR was more than six-fold elevated for smokers
reporting low intake of vegetables, and more than four-fold elevated
for smokers reporting low intake of fruit, as compared with
never smokers reporting high intake of these items.
Conclusion:
In agreement with previous studies, we found an inverse relation
between vegetable and fruit intake and lung cancer risk in both
strata of current and never smokers.”
Furthermore, woman who eat plenty amounts of apigenin
in their diet are more likely to reduce the risk of
developing breast cancer by 19%, and ovarian cancer by 20%. A study
found that apigenin worked even on deadly, fast-growing
breast tumors through inhibiting cell growth and suppressing the
expression of a gene that is known to be associated with cancer
growth. Furthermore, blood vessels which are known to fuel cancer
cells were
also found to shrink and receive restricted nutrient flow to the
tumor — starving the ability to proliferate.
One way apigenin likely works is by reducing the possibility of
cancerous tumor growth by decreasing
the vascular endothelial and preventing glucose uptake –
minimizing the cycle of cancer cells forming in the pancreas.
Vascular endothelial growth produces
proteins that act as stimulation for the formation of new blood
vessels. The unfortunate part of this protein is that is also helps
the growth of cancerous tumors.
With such promising results, celery should be a new
staple in your diet, and the diet of everyone you love. Just be sure
to eat organic since celery
is often drenched in pesticides – or you can grow
your own!
Celery Seed is the best natural diuretic. I use 3 daily daily for water on my lungs, heart i.e. (Biotanic Choice _Net.) has it in a reasonable price.

-Drain two lemons in 300ml of water before breakfast.
-Drink 300ml of grapefruit juice. If you do not like the taste, you can replace it with pineapple juice. These juices contain natural antioxidants that improve the breathing system.
-Drink 300ml of pure carrot juice between breakfast and lunch. Carrot juice helps you alkalize the blood during the three days of purification.
-You have to drink 400ml of juice rich in potassium during lunch. Potassium acts as a tonic for cleaning. Before going to bed make 400ml of cranberry juice. It will help in the fight against bacteria in the lungs that can cause infections.
