I believe there is hope for people who have cancer. Not only is the research I previously blogged about on frankincense and cancer encouraging, but also the research done at the U. S. National Institute for Health on how to inhibit the cancer from metastasizing.
The National Cancer Institute's research on cancer explains angiogenesis, "When patients are diagnosed with cancer, they want to know whether their disease
is local or has spread to other locations. Cancer spreads by
metastasis, the ability of cancer cells to penetrate into lymphatic and
blood vessels, circulate through the bloodstream, and then invade and grow in
normal tissues elsewhere. Cancer researchers studying the conditions necessary for cancer metastasis have
discovered that one of the critical events required is the growth of a new
network of blood vessels. This process of forming new blood vessels is called
angiogenesis."
The National Institutes for Health has research evidence entitled, Natural health products that inhibit angiogenesis: a potential source for investigational new agents to treat cancer—Part 1. This research speaks specifically about the many natural health products that inhibit angiogenesis. This article focuses on products that have a high degree of anti-angiogenic activity, and also describes some of the many other actions of these agents that can inhibit tumor progression and reduce the risk of metastasis.
According to NIH's research, "The herbs that are traditionally used for anticancer treatment and that are anti-angiogenic through multiple interdependent processes include Artemisia annua (Chinese wormwood), Viscum album (European mistletoe), Curcuma longa (curcumin), Scutellaria baicalensis (Chinese skullcap), resveratrol and proanthocyanidin (grape seed extract), Magnolia officinalis (Chinese magnolia tree), Camellia sinensis (green tea), Ginkgo biloba, quercetin, Poria cocos, Zingiber officinalis (ginger), Panax ginseng, Rabdosia rubescens hora (Rabdosia), and Chinese destagnation herbs."
