Shared by Bill Riley of St. Petersburg, FL, " In April 2006 I was diagnosed
with prostate cancer after a biopsy - Gleason score 6(3+3). I was strongly
urged to have the prostate removed immediately. I refused & starting doing
research. I found a Cedars-Sinai Medical Center/UCLA School of Medicine
study that said that capsaicin (the stuff that makes pepper hot) fed to rats
bred to have human prostate cancer had caused the tumors to die! I have
included a link to a good recap of the study.
I immediately started taking cayenne pepper capsules daily. I took the
equivalent human dose from the study & made that my goal. I gradually
consumed more each week until I reached what I thought was the right dose
(enough cayenne to equal about 5 habanera peppers per day).
Last month I decided to see a urologist to see what was involved in
"Watchful Waiting" - he wanted to do another biopsy since it had been two
years - I agreed & the results came back clean - they found no cancer - not
a trace! My doctor was stunned & said that in 18 years he had never seen
such a result. We had it double checked & there were no cancerous cells
found.
I am confident it was the cayenne that made the tumor shrink to an
undetectable size or disappear - given the study results.
I plan to keep taking it indefinitely & I recommend it to any male who has
been diagnosed with either BPH or any cancer, as it seems to be effective
against ANY cancer. "
I found this explanation of how it works:
Capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) is the active chemical compound
found in the seeds and fruit of chili peppers of the Capsicum genus such as
cayenne pepper. This pepper provides numerous health benefits. Capsicum is
traditionally used for muscular pain, headaches, to improve circulation and
for its gastrointestinal protective effects? It is also commonly added to
herbal formulations because it acts as a catalyst for other herbs and aids
in their absorption.
Many scientific studies have revealed the exciting potential anti-cancer
abilities of capsaicin. Although the exact mechanism(s) is unclear,
capsaicin has been shown to induce apoptosis in many different types of
cancer cells. Apoptosis is a natural form of cell death that occurs in old
or damaged cells that need to be replaced by new, healthier cells.
Capsaicin has been shown to protect the stomach from various types of damage
by affecting gastric mucosal blood flow as well as mucosal and bicarbonate
secretions. It also has been shown to cause DNA fragmentation and subsequent
apoptosis in human gastric adenocarcinoma cells by reducing the expression
of a cellular protein that inhibits apoptosis (Bcl-2). Research shows that
the number of abnormal cells killed increased with greater doses of
capsaicin. According to this study, capsaicin induces apoptosis in abnormal
cells by inhibiting NADH-plasma membrane electron transport system by acting
as a quinine analog. Cells generate most of the energy (ATP) that they need
to survive and reproduce via this electron transport chain, which occurs in
the mitochondria (also known as the powerhouse) inside cells. If this system
is disrupted, the cell cannot generate enough ATP to sustain itself, and the
cell dies. By disrupting the electron transport chain, capsaicin decreases
the amount of energy that is available to cancer cells, and these cells
cannot continue to proliferate. Cancer cells require more energy than normal
cells, because they are growing and dividing more rapidly than normal cells.
A reduced supply of energy caused by capsaicin can have a major impact on
abnormal cells.
In a recent study conducted at the University of Nottingham, capsaicin was
shown to bind to proteins in the mitochondria of abnormal cells and trigger
apoptosis without being harmful to surrounding normal cells.
This anti-carcinogenic mechanism is surprisingly similar to how NSP Paw Paw
Cell-Reg works.
Dr. Pramod Srivastava and his colleagues conducted a study in which they
discovered that capsaicin triggered apoptosis in human pancreatic cancer
cells, one of the most difficult types of cancer to treat. Capsaicin
increased the number of apoptotic proteins and reduced tumor size in
cancerous pancreatic cells but did not negatively affect normal pancreatic
cells.
Another study showed that capsaicin inhibited the growth of leukemic cells
possibly by causing an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species
inside the abnormal cells, which leads to apoptosis. Capsaicin did not
inhibit the growth of normal cells.
Capsaicin has also shown effectiveness in inhibiting ovarian and breast
cancer cells in vitro by decreasing the activity of NADH oxidase, an enzyme
needed for the production of ATP or cellular energy.
A recent study has shown that capsaicin induced human prostate cancer cells
to undergo apoptosis by inhibiting NF-Kappa Beta, a mechanism that leads to
the expression of certain genes that are involved in inflammation and the
development of cancer. This same study demonstrated that capsaicin slowed
prostate cancer cells by regulating androgen receptors on the cells and
decreased the production of PSA produced by the abnormal cells.
Recent studies have also demonstrated that capsaicin inhibited the ability
of some chemical carcinogens to bind to DNA3, suggesting that capsaicin may
have cancer preventative properties.
Capsaicin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA in the United
States when used orally and topically in an appropriate manner. Capsaicin is
found in foods that have a long history of being used in the human diet
without harm. This fact lends support to its good safety profile.
Capsaicin and other vanilloid compounds show strong evidence of having
promising potential in the fight against many types of cancer.
