Thunder god vine compound annihilates cancer in 40 days, researchers discover


(NaturalNews) Rarely known outside traditional Chinese medicine (TCM),
lei gong teng or "thunder god vine" is stunning Western researchers with
its ability to stop cancer in its tracks - in as little as forty days.
Used for its health enhancing qualities for more than 2,000 years in
China, the West is beginning to recognize the astounding benefits of the
vine for treating cancer, giving new hope to those who suffer from the
most deadly forms of the disease.

Thunder god vine compound swiftly conquers cancer

Lei gong teng (Tripterygium wilfordii)
is native to China, Japan and Korea where it has long been valued for
its distinct anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive and anti-cancer
properties. Supplying ample amounts of the active compound triptolide,
the herb demonstrates substantial success in eradicating cancerous
tumors.

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Masonic Cancer Center
discovered that mice treated with triptolide for 40 days showed no
further incidence of tumors, even after ceasing treatment. Ashok Saluja,
vice chairman of research and the study's leader, told Bloomberg, "You could see every day you looked at those mice, the tumor was decreasing and decreasing, and then just gone."

Scientists at John Hopkins School of Medicine
also found extracts of lei gong teng to be effective in eliminating
cancerous tumors. Jun O. Liu, Ph.D., professor of pharmacology and
molecular sciences at Johns Hopkins, notes:

"...
triptolide has been shown to block the growth of all 60 U.S. National
Cancer Institute cell lines at very low doses, and even causes some of
those cell lines to die."

Apparently, the compound impedes the
manufacture of new RNA, thereby curbing cancerous proliferation in mice.
These findings are laying the foundation for human clinical trials in
the near future.

Triptolide has been shown to inhibit colorectal,
pancreatic and ovarian cancers, among others. Rheumatoid arthritis and
autoimmune disorders like multiple sclerosis and lupus respond to lei
gong teng as well.

Since the herb can cause serious side effects,
including loss of bone density, headache and infertility, it is
important to consult a qualified TCM practitioner before use.

The dark side of scientific research

Even
though emerging research regarding the thunder god vine is encouraging,
financial gain is still the underlying motivating factor. Anthony
Gucciardi of Natural Society aptly observes:

"While it is
great news that this study is bringing the beneficial effects of
inexpensive and near-free plant compounds to light, the bad news is that
the individuals responsible for the research are actually looking to
create a pharmaceutical drug from the essential component triptolide. A
drug that will seek FDA approval and ultimately be patented,
nutritionally ruined, and sold for exorbitant amounts of cash. Instead,
just get your hands on some thunder god vine for yourself."
