Most cancers are named after the part
of the body where cancer first affects, the organ that is
most likely the weakest. If it has spread from the breast
to the bones, it is still called breast cancer. Cancer is
a degenerative disease, which means it develops in the body
over a period of time. Cancer cells feed on sugar i.e. glucose
in the blood. There are more than 200 different types of
cancer!
This
tropical fruit has over 150 nutraceutical & of these
at least 6 have been shown in scientific studies to fight
cancer. They are polysaccharides, proxeronine, anthraquinones
(e.g. damnacanthal & alizarin), epigallocatechin gallate
(EGCg), monoterpenes & terpenoid compounds (e.g. eugenol,
beta carotene & ursolic acid). In addition research
has showed that noni stimulates the body's production of
cancer-fighting elements such as nitric oxide, interleukins,
interferon, tumor necrosis factor, lipopolysaccharides &
natural killer cells. The strong antioxidant effects of
other components in noni such as cystine, vitamins C &
E help combat oxidative damage in the body cells.
