Dandelion root extract can kill 98% of cancer cells within 48 hours ?
Dandelion is a star in the health industry. Both the elderly and children love it very much. Most people like dandelions not because of their unique taste, but because they bring great benefits to the human body. For example, regularly soaking dandelions in water can clear heat, detoxify, and expel moisture from the body.In addition to the above benefits, recently, it has been rumored that dandelion root extract can kill 98% of cancer cells within 48 hours. What is the truth about this issue? Let's take you to learn more.
The Chinese Pharmacopoeia has recorded the various effects of dandelion. The article points out that dandelion can cause various diseases such as breast abscess, lung abscess, and intestinal abscess. "Carbuncle" has the significance of tumor in ancient Chinese medicine. If we follow this meaning, dandelion clearly has a therapeutic effect on tumors. However, strictly speaking, "carbuncle" does not refer to cancer, but rather to a series of inflammations such as skin.
In recent years, some people have conducted many experiments to prove the powerful effects of dandelions. Professor Siyaram Pandey from Canada combined the extract of dandelion with cancer cells. It was found that a large number of cancer cells were killed. Later, some people attempted to combine dandelion extract with cancer cells and found that 98% of cancer cells were killed within 48 hours. So many people believe that dandelions can indeed kill cancer cells.
In fact, these experiments only target some animals and cancer cells in test tubes. It's not a human experiment. And there is still a long way to go from cell testing to clinical application. If it comes to human experiments, I believe there are still many difficulties to overcome. Therefore, it is too early to say that dandelions can fight cancer.
pharmacological action ① Antibacterial: Dandelion fresh juice, water decoction, and extract saponins have strong inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus hemolyticus, Escherichia coli, Para Escherichia coli, Catarrhalis, Salmonella typhi, and Para typhoid B bacteria. It has certain inhibitory effects on Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus meningitidis, Bacillus diphtheriae, Proteus, Shigella dysentery, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, etc. It also has inhibitory effects on pathogenic skin fungi such as Clostridium oxysporum, Trichophyton suis, and Trichophyton rubrum. ② The effect on immune function: Dandelion decoction can significantly increase the conversion rate of peripheral blood lymphocyte mother cells and stimulate the body's immune function. ③ Gallbladder promoting and liver protecting: Administering dandelion by gavage can cause gallbladder contraction, relax Oddi's sphincter, and have a gallbladder promoting effect. It has a protective effect on animals with liver damage caused by carbon tetrachloride. ④ Diuretic effect: Dandelion has a diuretic effect, especially effective in treating portal edema, which may be related to its potassium salt content. After absorption, it is excreted through urine, and urine still maintains a certain level of antibacterial components. ⑤ Antiviral: Dandelion has an inhibitory effect on herpes simplex virus and can also delay ECH ō Cellular pathology of a virus (orphan virus). ⑥ Anti endotoxin: Dandelion and Antitoxin Clear (Dandelion, Honeysuckle, Folium Isatidis, Houttuynia cordata) have the ability to fight against endotoxins, protect cell membranes, and restore respiratory function and enzyme activity.
