Does Flaxseed help against cancer? Flaxseed prevents breast, prostate, and colon cancer. Talk with your doctor if you have estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer. Flaxseed has plant-based estrogen, which may have negative effects on your cancer. However, it was ineffective in reducing hot flashes in women who had their menopause with or without breast cancer. Preclinical studies suggest that flaxseed may inhibit growth and metastasis of human breast, prostate cancers, and melanoma, and may reduce radiation therapy-induced lung damage and improve survival. Preclinical studies take place before any testing in humans is done. In metastasis, cancer cells break away

Does Elderberry work against cancer? To prevent cancer, Laboratory studies indicate weak chemopreventive properties. In vitro studies demonstrate that elderberries possess an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and chemopreventive properties; although inhibition of cancer cell growth was shown to be weak. Chemoprevention means the use of drugs, vitamins, or other agents to try to reduce the risk of, or delay the development or recurrence of cancer.

Does Diindolylmethane (DIM) help against cancer? Lab studies suggest diindolylmethane, or DIM, has anticancer effects, but clinical data is limited. Laboratory studies suggest anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects, but data in humans are quite limited. A few clinical studies suggest DIM may benefit patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer or help reverse abnormal cervical changes in cells.  Prostate cancer that keeps growing even when the amount of testosterone in the body is reduced to very low levels. Many early-stage prostate cancers need normal levels of testosterone to grow, but castrate-resistant prostate cancers do not. Check our video out now on our Youtube channel

Does Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) help against cancer? Dehydroepiandrosterone, or DHEA, has not been shown effective in treating cancer. DHEA is the most abundant hormone secreted by the adrenal glands. Clinical trials have shown that DHEA is effective in treating certain forms of depression and anxiety, lupus, sexual dysfunction, and Addison’s disease. High blood levels of DHEA have been associated with increased risk of breast and ovarian cancers. DHEA supplementation also resulted in a flare-up of prostate cancer. Although studies have been done to determine DHEA’s benefits for cancer patients, the results are not conclusive. Check our video out now on our

Does D-limonene help against cancer? D-limonene has not been shown to treat or prevent cancer. D-limonene is derived from the peels of citrus fruits and it shows anti-inflammatory, wound healing and anticancer effects in laboratory studies. D-limonene was shown to alter the signaling pathways within cancer cells in a way that stops cancer cells from multiplying and causes their death; this is called apoptosis. In animal models, D-limonene slowed the growth of pancreatic, stomach, colon, skin, and liver cancers. It also slowed formation of tumors and their progression in animals exposed to cancer-causing substances. However, these anticancer effects have not

Does Croton lechleri help against cancer? Croton lechleri has not been shown to treat cancer in humans. Laboratory studies indicate that it can kill cancer cells, but no studies have been done in humans. In another study, Croton lechleri  irreversibly changed the microtubule structure of cancer cells, preventing adhesion and inducing apoptosis like certain chemo that we use to treat breast, colon or lung cancer. Apoptosis means the death of cells which occurs as a normal and controlled part of an organism’s growth as self -destruction.
