Have Pineapples Ever been Used for Cancer Treatment?

Have Pineapples Ever been Used for Cancer Treatment?


If
you haven’t heard of bromelain, you aren’t alone. But if you’ve ever
eaten fresh pineapple, you’ve ingested bromelain. And this enzyme, which
is particularly concentrated in the core and stem of pineapple, has
actually shown promise as a worthwhile, natural cancer treatment.

Scientists found that the anti-tumor effects of bromelain were superior to the effects of the chemotherapy drug 5-fluorouracil. Yes, it worked better than chemo.







Surely this is new research, right? Because we would have all heard
about this amazing discovery had it been known for a while.
Unfortunately, no. This research was published in 2007 in the Planta Medica journal. Like many other worthwhile natural and harmless remedies, this one has been kept pretty quiet.

5-fluorouracil (5-FU) has been used as a cancer treatment method for
about 40 years. It’s highly toxic and its effectiveness is questionable
at best. But like many cancer treatment methods, it’s used regardless.

The problem with 5-FU and other chemo drugs is they don’t
discriminate. They don’t only kill cancer cells, but kill healthy cells
too. And, even when they are indiscriminately killing cells, they don’t
kill all of the cancer cells.

As GreenMedInfo.com reports, 5-FU is given to adults in amounts that are toxic.The MSDS sheet for the drug states:

<blockquote>“The substance is toxic to blood. Repeated or prolonged
exposure to the substance can produce target organ damage. Repeated
exposure to an highly toxic material may produce general deterioration
of health by an accumulation in one or many human organs.”
</blockquote>
It’s poison.







On the other hand, bromelain’s toxicity is rated at 1.5 pounds, the
same as 5-FU at 7.5 grams. In other words, bromelain isn’t only safer,
but measures safer and more effective.

So, why haven’t we heard about this? Why aren’t cancer patients being
offered a treatment made of bromelain? Perhaps you already know the
answer—it boils down to money. A natural treatment like one from
something as wonderful as pineapples couldn’t be as profitable for Big
Pharma as one made in the labs. And the FDA simply isn’t interested in
approving natural treatments for anything, regardless of safety, cost,
or benefits.

And of course pineapple isn’t the only natural cancer fighter. There
has also been a link drawn between marijuana, turmeric, ginger, garlic,
and vitamin D and cancer prevention. Similarly, here are 4 cancer-fighting foods you won’t want to miss.
