Grapeseeds against cancer. Grape Seed Extract Kills Colorectal Cancer Cells! What Scientists Have Found

Note #1:

I do not recommend this treatment for fast growing cancers, a type of pancreatic cancer. I also do not recommend this treatment for any type of brain cancer. For these situations, please use the article “Stage” regarding cesium chloride in:
Treatment for Stage IV Cancer Patients [Russian]
Treatment for Stage IV Cancer Patients [English]

Note #2:

For those who cannot find proper grapes, vegetable juice including carrot juice and some beet juice may replace grape juice in this article. One "unit" of this vegetable juice contains one quart of carrot juice and some beet juice (1 quart = 0.95 liters). Total number"units" that should be consumed per day: 2 to 4, however, I do not know of any medical reason why a person, if he wants, cannot exceed 4 quarts. My concern with over 4 quarts of carrot juice would be that "water fast", see article below, is DAILY A 12 hour period—generally between 8pm and 8am—when the person can only drink water) might be less effective because the cancer cells would be well nourished.

Beetroot juice should not be taken alone, but should always be combined with carrot juice. You should not COMBINE the grape cure and the carrot/beet juice cure. you should be treated with either one or the other, but NEVER with both. Here is a link to the article:
Raw food diet (i.e. for those using carrot juice / beet juice) [English]
The Raw Food Diet (i.e. for those using carrot juice/beetroot juice) [English]

Note #3 (for diabetics):

The diabetic will probably have to turn to the carrot/beet juice just mentioned. If you have questions, discuss the components of these treatments (i.e. grape cure or carrot juice/ beetroot juice) with a medical doctor who treats your diabetes. In any case, you should always monitor your insulin levels very carefully.

Note #5:

If you are on this diet, make sure you reread this Web page every 2 or 3 weeks while you are on the diet. This article is subject to change from time to time because this diet is a high priority treatment for “Stage IV” cancer. Attention: Russian translation tracks these changes much less often

Joanna Brandt Grape Diet
The Johanna Brandt Grape Diet

Purple grapes (Concord) (with its skin and seeds) and to a slightly lesser extent red and black grapes, contains several nutrients, which are known to kill cancer cells. These types of grapes also contain nutrients that stop the spread of cancer. They also help detoxify (detoxify) the body (remove toxins).

This diet was developed by Joanna Brandt who was a South African immigrant in America. She spent many years experimenting with fasting and diets before she found her grape cure. Her book on the grape cure was published in the 1920s. A lot has been learned since the 1920s and a lot of things have changed. It would not be desirable read her book and follow it, regardless of what has been learned and what has changed since she wrote this book. For a number of reasons, I wrote a short summary article regarding the four steps of her original grape cure:
Joanna Brandt's Original Grape Cure

The original diet included a 12 hour daily fast followed by 12 hours of eating absolutely nothing but grapes (and/or grape juice). Grape consumption is spread over the 12 hours, and not just at mealtimes. In other words, grapes/juice are consumed slowly over many hours rather than quickly over two or three short "dinners". After going through this phase of the diet for a few weeks, other phases follow, but this first phase is of most interest here.

To be technical, there are two different "fasts" that occur every day on this diet. First, there is “water fast” (“water fast”, only for 12 hours a day), which considers ONLY the consumption of “natural water” during the “fast” and/or “ionized water.” All this clarification about water was not in her original diet, but modern technology(eg the addition of chlorine and fluoride to our water supply) required this inclusion. Chlorine is especially bad for this diet!

The second type of "fast" for another 12 hours a day also includes water, but also includes grape mash and/or grapes.

These two daily "fasts" obviously do not starve cancer cells to death, however, "water fasting" does have an important purpose. Water fasting makes cancer cells “hungry,” and when the cells do get food, what they get is this grape juice, which contains several key cancer-killing nutrients, such as:

1. ellagic Acid,
2. catechin,
3. oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC) or procyanidolic oligomers (PCO), originally named: pycnogenol (seeds),
4. resveratrol (purple grape skin color)
5. pterostilbene,
6. selenium,
7. lycopene,
8. lutein,
9. (amygdalin or Vitamin B17) (seed)
10. beta carotene,
11. caffeic acid and/or ferulic acid (together they kill cancer cells), and
12. gallic acid!

This is an incredible arsenal!

In other words, water fasting is used to "trick" cancer cells into consuming the first thing that comes along. Grapes become a great “transport agent” for delivering the poisons just mentioned to cancer cells, meaning that cancer cells “steal” these nutrients (which turn out to be poisonous to cancer cells) in normal cells!

Cancer cells thrive on sugar, and grape juice is actually pure "sugar". water starvation makes cells hungry and when grape juice becomes available, cancer cells ingest the sugar in grape juice or in grapes. But as the cells ingest the sap, they also consume things that are poisonous to them. Think about putting poison in a chocolate bar and giving it to a hungry child. This is exactly what a water fast followed by grape mash does for a cancer cell.

Cancer cells eat many times more glucose and other sugars than a normal cell consumes. Plus, it eats many more useful minerals and some other nutrients than a normal cell. Thus, the combination of consuming much more glucose, minerals and other nutrients, plus a (water) fast, makes purple grapes an exceptional cancer-fighting food. Water fasting is absolutely critical for this method of treatment and it should not be neglected!

In fact, the big secret about the grape cancer treatment is that cancer cells are very inefficient at processing glucose and other sugars. Cancer cells consume approximately 15 times more glucose and other sugars than normal cells. In 1931, Nobel Prize in medicine given to Dr. Otto Heinrich Woberg for this discovery. This means that the cancer cure grape diet can deliver several times more of certain cancer-killing nutrients to cancer cells than to normal cells. Majority alternative methods cancer treatment evenly distributes their nutrients between malignant and normal cells. But not this treatment.

To be sure the patient is getting all the major killer nutrients, grape juice should include crushed grape seeds (to get OPCs) and nutrients from purple skins (to get critical resveratrol). Purple, such as in purple grapes, has a critical, cancer-killing nutrient not found in other types of grapes. At the time she wrote her book, in the 1920s, the benefits of purple grapes were not known. Also, if you are eating or processing whole grapes, you should buy seeded grapes (if you can find them), not seedless grapes. This is another thing that Joanna Brandt may not have been aware of in the 1920s.

Darker purple grapes are better. (Note: Because purple grapes and red grapes are so often confused with each other, it's not clear exactly how good a red grape is. This is the reason you have to look for the word "concord" (grape variety) on the package, even though there are purple grape varieties. other than the "concord" variety, which are also good.)

Warnings - take heed carefully
Warnings

Generally speaking, the Grape Cure Diet should not be mixed with other alternative cancer treatments!! For some reason, when cancer cells have access to a wide variety of foods, they hardly consume as much of the cancer-killing grape nutrients. This cancer treatment does not include ANY OTHER FOOD. There is NO "DIET OF CANCER" with this treatment because you are not allowed to eat anything else. The supplements and alternative cancer treatments that are combined with this treatment have been carefully chosen to not interfere with the uptake of cancer-killing nutrients by cancer cells!

In addition to this comment, which has changed a lot since Joanna Brandt created her grape cure. Unfortunately, one of these things is the way water is processed, and another of the same things is the way food is processed.

Here's another special warning about chlorine. If you buy pre-made grape juice, you should make sure it doesn't include any tap water mixed with the juice. Assume it is and don't buy it! I wouldn't use any pre-made grape juice unless the label specifically states that it doesn't include tap water or filtered water. Even some organic grape juice can have tap water added to it. Even though the chlorine may be dissipated by the time you buy this juice, the fact that the chlorine existed when the grape juice was mixed with water has done a serious detriment to the nutrients. This damage cannot be fully repaired.

Another problem with blended grape juice, even organic, is that it usually has to be pasteurized. Pasteurization destroys all enzymes and it destroys an unknown number of nutrients in grape juice and can also neutralize a significant portion of the nutrients in grape juice. Again, I emphasize, avoid pre-made grape juice.

Unfortunately, most, if not all, frozen grape juice is also pasteurized. Frozen grape juice may also have a small amount of tap water added to it. Some organic grape juices are made with spring water, but even these can be pasteurized.

This food processing discussion, which also revolves heavily around organic food, leads to the conclusion that only fresh whole purple grapes, completely unprocessed, qualify for this diet. But even the fulfillment of this requirement does not bypass the problem of pesticides. However, since the cancer patient is only on this diet for a few weeks, pesticides can be safely ignored. However, grapes must be soaked, anyway, in warm water before use.

The only way to ensure that all the nutrients of the grapes are getting to you is if you make your own "grape mash" using organic whole purple grapes (organic when possible) and turning it directly into grape mash. Use a food processor or juicer without using a filter(you want all of the grapes, including the skin and seeds, to be in the mash). “Organic” should mean that there are no pesticides and that there are many more trace elements and other nutrients from the soil.

Now, being a realist, this kind of mess is not practical for most people for a number of reasons. Based on this, the best thing you can do is: - First, avoid pre-made purple grape juice. Frozen is better because it has a lot less tap water mixed with it, or even better if the juice is organic, it may have been mixed with spring water.

I must stress, no matter what kind of frozen grape juice you can find, mix it with “natural water.” The chlorine issue is so critical to certain nutrients in grape juice that I wouldn't even mix ionized water with grape juice. I would drink ionized water during a 12 hour water fast and use natural water to mix it with grape juice and drink it during those 12 hours you drink grape juice!

The Brandt Diet is an excellent diet, however, because grapes don't contain all the amino acids, the Brandt Diet in this article includes (a nutritional supplement if you can get one) that does contain all the critical amino acids.

Being on the Grape Cure
being on)

I quote from her book:

It is safe to say that the first seven to ten days on grapes would only be required to clear the stomach and intestines of their ancient accumulations. And it is during this period that disturbing signs often appear. Nature works carefully. It does not rest on a rotten foundation. Cleansing of every part of the body must be complete before new tissue can be built. page 47

In other words, a person on the Brandt Grape Cure can expect some bad smell coming out of a large number various parts of his body!! I have received some pretty graphic emails from patients on this diet.

In addition, a person on the Brandt diet will likely lose significant weight during the first few weeks. I mention this because a person who starts this diet at 120 pounds or less (1 pound 453.6 grams) will be concerned when they start losing weight. This is expected.

Having said all of that, here is a description of the Grape Cancer Cure from Joanna Brandt.

Joanna Brandt's Grape Cure (Changed with Latest Discoveries)
The Johanna Brandt Grape Cure (as modified for newer discoveries)

Joanna Brandt designed the cancer treatment in 4 phases. Her first phase lasted until the cancer patient stopped losing weight or began to feel much better. The problem with a variable length phase based on feeling better is that a person feels better when they non-cancerous cells are given a boost of nutrients. Cancer cells stole energy, nutrients and glucose from non-cancerous cells. Thus, non-cancerous cells are very weak and "sick". If a person has received chemotherapy, their non-cancerous cells may also be toxic.

Giving a person a high dose of grape juice will make their non-cancerous cells "feel good". So "feeling good" is a very weak way to tell if cancer is being beaten, especially in the first few weeks. Because of this, my version of the Brandt Grape Cure will be a fixed length treatment that can be repeated. If a person feels well after 10 weeks, which is a much better sign, the cancer is actually losing the battle.

According to this technique, the treatment has a cycle of six weeks. The first five weeks are pure Brandt Grape Cure. The sixth week allows you to eat some certain foods. This six week cycle is repeated as needed!!

Note: If you want to start this diet immediately, but it will be a few days before you can get grapes, then until you get whole grapes, use store-bought FROZEN purple grape juice that clearly states “100%- th Grape Juice”. It's best to buy this from a health or natural food store. Make sure it is “100%” Grape Juice. “

First five weeks of a six-week cycle
The First Five Weeks of the Six Week Cycle

Start it NOW, take/consume absolutely NOTHING into your body that is not specifically mentioned in this treatment. NOTHING! No smoking, no alcohol, no coffee, no French fries - NOTHING. There is NO “DIET OF CANCER” with this treatment. There are NO foods or drinks that are allowed to be added.

Between 8:00 p.m. (i.e. 8:00 p.m.) and 8:00 a.m. (or choose your own 12 hours)
Between 8:00 PM (i.e. 20:00 hours) and 8:00 AM (or pick your own 12 hours)

This is from the evening and all night - “water fasting.”

Eat absolutely nothing. You can drink “natural water” meaning of course pure spring water, pure artesian well water, or ionized/alkaline water or even condensed distilled water. Make sure your spring water or artesian good water not treated with chlorine or fluoride. The ozone treatment method is the preferred treatment method for natural water. Try to drink at least 1 gallon (1 US gallon = 3.785 liters) of natural or ionized water per day (DURING all 24 hours).

Read the ingredients carefully (i.e. DO NOT BUY filtered water unless it's reverse osmosis), and don't rely on the product or company name.

This 12-hour water fast is absolutely critical to the grape cure. It's critical that your cancer cells get hungry and prepare themselves to consume the next thing that comes along.

Between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm
Between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM

This is a daily “fasting with water and grape mash”.

During these twelve hours, you should consume between two and four quarts of pure "grape mash" (1 quart = 0.95 liters). If you don't have or can't get hold of a food processor, then you can grind purple grape seeds with an inexpensive cranked by hand wheat crushers and eat the rest of the whole purple grapes.

For those who cannot swallow grape mash (because of the grape skins), they can squeeze the juice and filter the grapes to a level that they can drink.

Grape mash should be divided and eaten SLOWLY. It should be SLOWLY CHEWED AND SWALLOWED. equal parts and eaten in seven different batches during those 12 hours when you eat grape mash. This is essential to avoid nausea.

It is also necessary to drink plenty of water at the same time that you eat grape mash. It will also help get rid of nausea. Nausea is often the main problem with this diet. Also diarrhea or constipation.

According to Walter Last Australia, “thousands of former cancer victims testified to the effectiveness of her method. Because it is now so difficult to obtain unpollinated grapes, commercial pollinated grapes have sometimes been used after being thoroughly washed in warm soapy water and gentle rinsing. Of course organic grapes are the best.

Sixth week of a six-week cycle
The Sixth Week of the Six Week Cycle

The last week of a six-week cycle can consist of any UNPROCESSED, RAW, WHOLE vegetables and fruits you want. This week is meant to give you a break, provide essential proteins, provide other nutrients for your body that are not found in grapes, and give you the spirit of a break.

Supplementation should be continued during this week especially (see below for those who should be taking Paw Paw).

Repeating the whole cycle
Repeating the Cycle

This six-week cycle can be repeated as many times as needed to cure your cancer. How do you know when your cancer is cured? you can use orthodox methods to detect any cancer, but don't use these orthodox methods more than once every 10 weeks. If X-RAY, or other aggressive methods are used, then I would not use such methods more than once every 20 weeks.

If you are not using orthodox methods to evaluate a cancer patient's treatment, then you must measure success based on the patient's energy level, how he is able to return to normal functions how he feels, how his weight has increased, etc.

A note about Cesium Chloride
Note About Cesium Chloride

Cesium chloride treatment should not be used in conjunction with Brandt Grape Cure. The reason is that cesium chloride blocks glucose from entering cancer cells, and Brandt's Grape Cure uses glucose as a vehicle for its cancer-killing nutrients.

What CAN be added to the Grape Cure
What CAN Be Added to the Grape Cure

Many people who continue with this treatment cannot get any supplements from the United States or from their own country. This is actually the reason why this diet was put together. The Brandt Grape Cure is perfectly sufficient to cure cancer in a high percentage of cases.

However, for those who can obtain and provide items from the United States, there are some additional items that can be safely added to the Brandt Grape Cure that will not harm the cure, but enhance it.

The Bob Beck Protocol
Bob Beck Protocol

By far the number one cancer treatment that should be added to the Grape Cure is the Bob Beck Protocol, which is an electromedical treatment. The Brandt Grape Cure and the Bob Beck Protocol do pretty much the same thing: kill or suppress germs in the body, including germs in cancer cells. It is hard to imagine two other treatments that would be more suitable for each other!!

However, Grape Cure Brandt maybe be used with prescription drugs and/or orthodox therapies. The Bob Beck Protocol CAN NOT be used with prescription drugs and/or orthodox therapies.

If you are not on orthodox therapies but are on prescription drugs, you should try using Brandt's Grape Cure and supplements to phase out prescription drugs (with your doctor's permission), and then ADD the Bob Beck Protocol to Brandt's treatment.

The Brandt Grape Cure and the Bob Beck Protocol should not be started at the same time because they are both powerful detoxifiers. Start the Brandt treatment first, then a week later, start the Bob Beck extension.

Here is a site for more information on the Bob Beck Protocol:

Immune Aloe (Stage 4 cure) [absolutely essential if you can get it]
(Stage 4 treatment)

There are 8 critical saccharides (monosaccharides) that are essential for the immune system to communicate internally (cell to cell). They are called: glyconutrients. The Ambrotose product has all 8 glyconutrients, but it does not have the very rare long chain form of acemannan mannose sugar. It is this rare long-chain glyconutrient that makes Immune Aloe a "Stage IV" treatment.

The dosage for this product is 6 (500 mg) pills a day, but start with only 1 (150 mg or 500 mg) pills a day and increase rapidly.

Warning: Some people have chemical sensitivities to this product (eg fever, pain). If this is the case, work with your provider as to what dosage you can take.

The vendor doesn't have a web page yet, so I'll give you one. phone numbers. To call from America: 800-807-4779. Outside of America: 830-935-4292 (This is the phone number where you live. So you can get voicemail. If so, try again, they may have gotten your phone number wrong.)

Polysaccharides [required if you can get them]
Polysaccharides

The elements of the body's immune system must communicate with each other in order for the immune system to be effective. Glyconutrients (the mannoses just discussed) and polysaccharides are two of the critical things that allow this communication to occur.

1 or 2 items from this list (polysaccharide supplements):

1. Beta Glucan Supplement: “Beta-1, 3-D Glucan”

Basic pH (or other stable oxygen product)
Prime pH (or another Stabilized Oxygen product)

Persistent oxygen, or stabilized electrolytes, was discovered by Dr. Moises deGuevarra in 1929. It is a chemical that delivers oxygen directly to cancer cells. See for additional information my article on hydrogen peroxide. Recommended product: Prime pH:
(Click: Our Products, then Prime pH) (Prime pH - sodium chloride)

paw paw

Especially for those who have been on chemotherapy and have gone from remission to regression, Paw Paw should be considered a REQUIRED treatment. It is known as a drug that kills (Multiple-Drug Resistant MDR) cells that are the result of chemotherapy. When a cancer patient who has been on chemotherapy goes from remission to regression, a high percentage of his cancer cells are MDR cells. This is the reason why such a high percentage of cancer patients who are in regression die so quickly.

No other product has been proven to kill this cell type. Thus, for those in regression, Paw Paw should be considered a NECESSARY treatment. It is not known whether Protocel (which works in much the same way by slowing or stopping ATP production) also kills MDR cells.

Sick lung cancer should be aware that "lysing", which is caused by the way Paw Paw and Protocel kill cancer cells, can cause lung congestion.

Rife-Crane-Rockwell Mechanism (optional: cost $2,300)
The Rife-Crane-Rockwell Machine (optional: costs $2,300)

The original Royal Rife machine had a 100% cure rate among advanced, terminal cancer patients. However, every Rife machine the AMA could find, it destroyed. Rife technology was lost. Modern versions of the Rife machine are not as effective as the original, but many of them can be useful.

The Rife machine I recommend should be considered an “experimental” addition to your treatment for anyone who can afford it. But it is not dangerous addition! In other words, this equipment absolutely cannot harm you. The modern Rife machine I recommend was designed and built by a Rife technician. The Rife-Crane-Rockwell mechanism can be found at:

General Comments
General Comments

In general, therapies that can be combined with the Brandt Grape Cure are therapies that include the most beneficial minerals, special types of water, vitamins, building products immune system, herbs, magnetic or electromagnetic therapies, etc. These are all things that are not FOOD PRODUCTS and do not contain much glucose And help fight cancer.

The Brandt Grape Cure, in itself, is an alkaline diet. So of course you do not want to eat or drink ACID substances such as soda with syrup, diet soda with syrup, etc. even if they are calorie-free and glucose-free.

There are exceptions to these general rules, as mentioned above. Cesium chloride blocks glucose, so it is not compatible with the Brandt Grape Cure. Rubidium and germanium should also be avoided for the same reason.

Physical exercises
exercise

Exercise is critical for cancer patients. They put tension on the heart and pump blood faster. But perhaps more importantly, they pump lymph, which is critical to flushing toxins out of the body. lymphatic system has no pump (like a heart pump), only muscles can pump lymph.

Obviously, many people with advanced cancer cannot go for a walk. If walking is not desired or possible, you should pick up a book or something and do these exercises two or three times a day, for 10 minutes at a time.

Other Nutrients for EVERY Grape Diet:
Other Nutrients With EVERY Grape Cure Diet:

I would like to consider a few improvements to any of the cancer cure grape diets. When possible, these supplements should be purchased in powder, crystal, or liquid form and taken between noon and 8:00 pm. This means that there are always at least four hours a day (between 8:00 am and noon) when only grape mash or grapes are taken, for any of these diets. These nutritional supplements are:

1. Grape seed extract, check the ingredients to get the largest number OPCs, or PCOs (don't use if you have clotting problems)
2. Grape skin extract, check the ingredients to get the most resveratrol
3. quercetin
4. Vitamin C, 12-15 grams of Vitamin C taken throughout the day (reach this dose in over two weeks, starting at only 3 grams per day!)
5. cayenne pepper (preferably hotter) and/or niacin (one gram of acid)

Both cayenne and (niacin) increase blood flow, which helps deliver grape juice to cancer cells. Cancer cells often thrive in areas where circulation is poor. During the first week, you should gradually increase your intake to the recommended dosage of niacin.

Finally, five more items: Lipoic Acid (Alpha) ((Alpha) Lipoic Acid), Vitamin E (1,000 I.U.), Vitamin A, Selenium and Zinc.

In each case, take the dosage mentioned above, or the maximum dosage indicated on the bottle, whichever is greater.

If you have any problems with heart disease while on this diet, then you should add three more nutrients:

1. L-lysine (L-Lysine) (3 grams per day),
2. L-proline (L-Proline) (1.5 grams per day - 1,500 mg),
3. L-arginine () (2 grams per day)

Wortman's Grape Cure Warning
A Warning About the Wortman Grape Cure

It was circulated on the Internet (and for a time even on this website) that a man named Fred Wortman designed a modified version of the Brandt Grape Cure that allows a person to eat whatever they want for 8 hours a day. Feedback that I have received from many cancer patients indicates that this cancer treatment DOES NOT WORK!!

Cancer cells pull huge amounts of energy, nutrients and glucose from normal cells. Thus, the normal cells of a cancer patient (especially those who have been on chemotherapy) suffer greatly from a lack of energy and nutrients. A quick boost of superfruit drinks gives a cancer patient a burst of nutrients into their healthy cells, making them feel good.

I have seen many testimonies on the internet that claim that within two or three weeks a person was cured of their cancer by taking a super fruit drink. This man was not CURED from cancer. What happened was that they felt so much better that they thought they were cured of cancer.

Whatever the reason, Wortman's Grape Cure is no longer endorsed on this website.

The practical conclusion is that Brandt Grape Cure cannot be mixed with any other food products or alternative cancer therapies that are not first carefully evaluated to make sure they don't interfere with cancer cells absorbing the cancer-killing nutrients in grapes.

Additional Notes
Additional Notes

Because of the weeks when a person can only eat grape mash, a lot of family support is absolutely essential for anyone on this diet. It may be necessary to have someone talk to the person on this diet every hour, especially at the beginning of the diet. Remember also that there will be "disturbing signs" in the person continuing this diet. This diet is an incredible detoxifier and the toxins have to get out of the body somewhere. It will also require support from family and friends.

Grapes have not only excellent palatability but also high therapeutic effect. Grape seed extract and oil are used in oncology, in addition, with the help of these berries, effective cleaning organism. In the 1920s, American Joanna Brand developed the grape diet to help fight cancer, and this nutritional technique is still considered one of the most effective in the treatment of tumors.

Principles and rules of the grape diet

With the help of a short-term grape diet, you can unload the digestive system, cleanse the body of toxins, get rid of the effects of stress and lower cholesterol.

The basic principle of this diet: it is necessary for one (unloading) day, or for a week there is only grapes. This cleaning is best done in the fall, using only the freshest, most mature and thoroughly washed grapes.

It is best to use white grape varieties, perfect option- white chasselas with its delicate skin and low content Sahara. White muscat is also suitable. Dark grape varieties have a heeling effect and are more suitable for diarrhea (which may occur as a result of cleansing the body, but it is not necessary to stop the diet). You need to choose only the most ripe grapes: it will not cause irritation of the mucous membranes and intestinal walls. For constipation, it is better to eat only the pulp of grapes, without skin and seeds.

Studies have shown that after a grape diet, a person feels light in the body, feels a sense of peace, energy appears, notes an increase mental activity. The effectiveness of the grape diet for constipation and insomnia has also been noted (this effect persists even after returning to a normal diet). In addition, it helps to reduce the level of "bad" cholesterol and contributes to the sharpening of taste and smell.

After a course of grape cleansing, many people have revised their usual diet. The reason is that, as after a course of fasting, the body ceases to feel the need for a stimulating effect, chocolate, sugar, and a natural desire for simple, natural food appears.

2 days before the start of the grape regimen, prepare your body: exclude animal products, alcohol, coffee and chocolate from the diet. The best effect is achieved if you first cleanse the intestines with an enema.

• Day one - day last. On the first day, slowly, with pleasure, eat a small bunch of grapes along with the skin and seeds - this is a storehouse of nutrients. Then proceed to business as usual while snacking on grapes whenever you feel like it. It is undesirable to eat too much at one time and no need to try to maintain the usual rhythm of three meals a day - satiety will come very quickly. A small amount of grapes is recommended every 2-3 hours, that is, 6-7 doses per day. Thus, by eating about 2 kg of grapes per day, you will help your body cope with the usual daily load (it is better to avoid overloads). If it is cold outside, warm (not more than 40 ° C) freshly squeezed grape juice and hot herbal infusions will save you.
• Second and third day. In most cases, it is the second day of cleansing that turns out to be the most difficult, and on the third day the body adapts to a new diet, and you will feel much better. If you are trying this diet for the first time, do not delay it for more than a week.

Exit from the diet - 3 days of adaptation. To maintain the therapeutic effect after grape cleansing, it is important to correctly switch to the usual diet.

The ideal scheme is:

• on the first day, enter into your diet others (while you can continue or stop eating grapes) and (fresh or boiled);
• on the second day, add yogurt and a soft-boiled egg;
• on the third day you can cook yourself lean fish,
• and starting from fourth day return to your usual diet. That being said, don't be surprised if your eating habits and preferences change.

When carrying out a cleansing of the body with the help of a grape diet, there may be complications, they are also called the “cleansing crisis”. Sometimes a strict diet can be accompanied by a runny nose, a temporary rise in body temperature, skin irritation, a tongue coating, or nausea. It is assumed that the more toxins in the body, the feeling worse. This crisis indicates that the body has begun to actively eliminate toxins. To help cleanse the body, you need to drink more water (preferably with the addition of 10 drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide: 10 drops per glass of water, on an empty stomach), thyme or rosemary infusions, go outside more often, go to the bathhouse, go for a massage and cleansing skin. All this contributes to the active work of our excretory organs (they remove harmful substances from the body). Around the third day of the cleansing diet, health should improve.

You can also arrange grape fasting days once a week for a month. Every day for 2-6 weeks, you need to eat one bunch at 11 and 18 hours (at the same time, at least 2 hours should pass between such a snack and the main meal). This option does not require abandoning the usual diet and allows you to maintain a normal lifestyle and rhythm of life, and therefore it can be recommended to people who do not tolerate mono-diets. The sparing regimen can be practiced for quite a long time: it allows the body to recuperate and stock up on nutrients.

For those who are not prone to severe restrictions, but would like to use the beneficial properties of grapes in combination with other seasonal fruits, you should add it to your diet.

it ideal diet for those who lack vitamins, who feel tired, suffer from headaches, have a dull complexion and would like to short time rectify the situation. Grape nutrition cleanses the body, removes toxins that poison it. This diet is not for weight loss, like most diets based on fruits and berries - grapes have a high sugar content, so it cannot be considered a dietary product in the generally accepted sense. Unlike other mono-diets, grape is recognized by leading naturopaths as a highly effective cleansing technique, if used in the absence of contraindications.

The healing properties of grapes mainly depend on its variety. If necessary, reduce mechanical irritation of the mucosa gastrointestinal tract preference should be given to juicy varieties, characterized by a small amount of pulp. With atonic constipation, when, on the contrary, a stronger mechanical irritation of the intestine is necessary, fleshy varieties are taken. For upper catarrh respiratory tract to get an expectorant effect, aromatic varieties are prescribed.

Healers advise patients with various neoplasms to use large black raisins. For the treatment of anemia and exhaustion, ripe black grapes are used. Unripe grapes fix the stomach. But dishes from grapes are useful for everyone.

Table varieties of grapes are best consumed fresh, but they can be used to prepare jams, compotes, syrups, juices, fruit drinks. In cooking, grapes are used in the preparation of flour dishes, and are also served with poultry and game dishes. Young large grape leaves are used to wrap minced meat (dolma) from game and poultry.

Jam from unripe grapes. Rinse the unripe grapes well, let the water drain, cover with sugar, put in a low saucepan, and leave for 1 hour. Boil over high heat for 15-20 minutes. Together with the foam, collect the bones that have floated to the top. Pour hot into small jars, after dousing them with boiling water, close the lids, roll up and turn upside down. For 1 kg of grapes 800 g of sugar.

Grape compote. Choose fleshy grapes with firm skins so that the berries don't overcook. Put the washed berries in a jar and pour over the syrup made from water and sugar. Close the lid. Sterilize at 80°C for 20 minutes. Roll into jars and turn them upside down. For 2 kg of grapes: 1 liter of water and 400 g of sugar.

How Grapes Cure Stomach Cancer With The Brandt Diet

The benefits of grapes have been known to doctors for many centuries. Starting from the middle of the 19th century, they began to talk more actively about the benefits of grape nutrition, and finally, at the beginning of the 20th century, new facts about grapes became known. In the 1920s, South African nurse Joanna Brandt (American) was looking for natural ways treatment of oncological diseases, since she was diagnosed with stomach cancer. A long-term search led to the grape diet, with which she was cured. In 1928, Brandt even published a book in which she talked about the benefits of grapes and how to treat cancer with it. Thanks to Joanna Brandt, mono-diets began to be practiced everywhere, and not only grape ones: all that are currently known for weight loss or cleansing owe their appearance to her.

To date, the Brand diet is considered by naturopaths as a method for recovery. vitality, detoxification of the body, which also has a great effect on digestion. The grape diet is suitable for adults, well tolerated in adolescence, if there is a need for it. The diet is especially recommended for people with diseases of the blood and nervous system, because grapes not only cleanse, but also calm the body's systems, harmonizing their work. This diet is recommended for those who suffer from rheumatic pains, constipation, high blood pressure, to prevent or treat diseases of the gallbladder. After following the grape diet, the skin is noticeably renewed: it becomes smooth, fresh, radiant, acne disappears.

Contraindications to the treatment of cancer with grapes are individual intolerance: allergies, as well as pregnancy and diabetes because this fruit is high in sugar. For the same reason, it cannot be considered a weight loss diet. It can be observed by overweight people, but also for cleansing purposes - you should not expect weight loss from it.

What grape varieties to use? The best option is to mix several varieties, because each has both advantages and disadvantages.

For example, green grapes are softer and more easily tolerated, but they contain fewer vitamins than black grapes.

Black is richer in useful substances, but it has more tannin, which can irritate both the stomach and intestines. Of course, you need to choose according to your taste, according to the state of the body, but it is best to focus on combining several varieties at once. Of course, the grapes must be nitrate-free, so you should carefully consider the choice of the place to buy grapes, which will not only be the basis, but will become the only nutritional component for up to two weeks. The amount of grapes eaten per day is from 1 to 2 kg. This mass must be divided into 6-7 parts in order to be eaten when a feeling of hunger arises.

• Only water and grapes can be eaten.
• Water should not be taken within an hour after eating grapes.
• Eat only grapes for the duration of the diet.
• You can take freshly squeezed juice or pass through a blender, as you wish.
• The seeds can also be eaten.
• Eat as many grapes as you want, of any type You may experience nausea or headache after a few days, this is due to the released toxins and is not a cause for alarm, however many people may drop the diet at this point.
• Before starting the grape diet, consult your doctor.

Joanna preferred purple concord grapes with skin and seeds, and to a slightly lesser extent red and black grapes, which contain several nutrients known to kill cancer cells. These types of grapes also contain nutrients that stop the spread of cancer. They also help detoxify the body (remove toxins).

Joanna Brandt's original diet involves fasting for 12 hours a day, and then 12 hours of eating absolutely nothing but grapes (and/or grape juice). Grape consumption is spread over the 12 hours, and not just at mealtimes. In other words, grapes/juice are consumed slowly over many hours rather than quickly over 2 or 3 short meals. After going through this phase of the diet for several weeks, other phases follow, but the first phase is of most interest. The second type of "fast" for another 12 hours per day also includes water, but also includes grape mash and/or grapes.

These two daily "fasts" obviously don't starve cancer cells to death, but "water fasting" does have an important purpose. Water fasting makes cancer cells "hungry" and then they get food - grape juice, which contains several major cancer-killing nutrients such as: ellagic acid, catechins, quercetin, proanthocyanide complex, resveratrol (gives purple grape skin color), antioxidant and brightener pterostilbene, selenium, lycopene, lutein, vitamin B17 (laetrile, amygdalin) - one of the most controversial vitamins of recent decades (in seeds), beta-carotene, caffeic acid and / or ferulic acid (together they kill cancer cells), gallic acid.

In other words, water fasting is used to trick cancer cells into consuming the first thing that comes along. Grapes in oncology become a transport agent in order to deliver the poisons just mentioned to the cancer cells, meaning that the cancer cells "steal" these nutrients (which turn out to be poisonous to the cancer cells) from the normal cells!

Cancer cells thrive on sugar, and grape juice is actually pure sugar. Water starvation makes cells hungry, and when grape juice becomes available, cancer cells ingest the sugar in grape juice or grapes. But as the cells ingest the sap, they also consume substances that are poisonous to them. Think about putting poison in a chocolate bar and giving it to a hungry child. This is exactly what a water fast followed by grape mash does to a cancer cell. Cancer cells "eat" many times more glucose and other sugars than a normal cell consumes. Plus, it eats many more useful minerals and some other nutrients than a normal cell. So the combination of consumption is much more glucose, minerals and other nutrients plus (water) starvation, makes purple grapes an exceptional cancer-fighting food. Water fasting is absolutely critical to this treatment and should not be neglected! Cancer cells consume approximately 15 times more glucose and other sugars than normal cells. In 1931, the Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to Dr. Otto Heinrich Warburg for this discovery. This means that the cancer treatment grape diet can deliver several times more of certain cancer-killing nutrients to cancer cells than to normal cells.

Most alternative cancer treatments evenly distribute their nutrients between malignant and normal cells. In addition, to make sure the patient is getting all of the major killer nutrients, grape juice should include crushed grape seeds to get the oligomeric proanthocyanidins and nutrients from the purple skin (to get the potent resveratrol). Purple, such as in purple grapes, has a critical cancer-killing nutrient not found in other types of grapes. At the time D. Brandt wrote her book, the benefits of purple grapes for cancer were not known. In addition, the grapes must be with seeds (stones). This is another thing that Joanna Brandt may not have been aware of. Darker purple grapes are better. She preferred the concord variety, although there are purple grapes that rival the concord.

Recipes for cleansing the body with grapes and grape leaves

Using the following recipes for cleansing the body with grapes and grape leaves, you can get rid of toxins and toxins.

• A decoction of grape leaves (1 tablespoon per glass of boiling water) helps to remove oxalic acid from the body. In addition, the decoction is used for rinsing with sore throat and laryngitis and for washing with skin diseases.
• An infusion of grape leaves removes toxins and successfully cleanses the body. 3-4 st. dry spoons grape leaves pour 1 liter of boiling water, let it brew for 15-20 minutes. Drink the infusion throughout the day instead of tea.
• Cocktail (to improve digestion). Take a brush of white grapes, separate the berries and beat in a blender along with the seeds, adding a piece of pineapple, green apple and kiwi. This cocktail can be drunk before or during meals, especially when eating meat, it stimulates the activity of the gastrointestinal tract and improves digestion.
• Cocktail (to remove toxins). Berries from one brush of white grapes are beaten in a blender with a whole orange (without peel), watermelon pulp and a bunch of mint. This is a great place to start unloading day or helping the body flush out toxins the day after a big holiday meal. This mixture covers almost 30% daily requirement body in fiber and contains a unique combination of substances that lowers blood cholesterol levels, prevents inflammatory processes and stimulates the elimination of toxins.
• An infusion of grape leaves removes toxins and is successfully used against cellulite. 30-40 g of grape leaves pour 1 liter of boiling water, let it brew for 15-20 minutes. Drink the infusion in small portions throughout the day.

Grapes for oncology: cancer treatment with grape seed extract and oil

Grape seeds contain substances that cause cancer cells to commit suicide hematopoietic organs. Toxicologists at the University of Kentucky at Lexington have re-confirmed the anti-cancer properties of an extract derived from grape seeds. The antitumor potential of the pulp, skin and seeds of grapes has long been of serious interest to researchers. AT last years reports came from various laboratories that stone extracts suppress the multiplication of cultures of cancer cells of the skin, breast, lungs, stomach and other organs.

According to recent studies, grape seed extract has unique mechanism actions. It is able to inhibit the vital activity of cancer cells, is able to maintain brain health, improving cognitive activity and reducing the risk of developing dementia. It turned out that regular consumption of red grapes or supplements with grape seed extract has another significant benefit. Scientists at the Colorado Cancer Center have found that grape seed extract (GSE) is effective in treating squamous cell carcinoma head and neck. This type of cancer affects more than half a million people worldwide.

In studies, scientists have found that GSE causes damage to the DNA of cancer cells and inhibits repair mechanisms through reactive oxygen species. Its action is also manifested by the stimulation of apoptosis, that is, it activates the program of self-destruction of cancer cells. As a result, the growth rate of some types of cancer is reduced by up to 67%.

Grape seed extract creates unfavorable conditions for the development of cancer cells, so they cannot actively multiply. Cancer cells multiply very quickly, so they require certain conditions: adequate blood supply and nutrient intake. If one of these links is destroyed, cancer cells die.

Scientists suggest that grape seeds will be effective against leukemia, as well as tumors of the breast, colon, lungs, stomach and prostate.

In an experiment using grape seed for oncology, more than three-quarters of the cancer cells died within 24 hours of exposure to the grape seed extract, effectively destroying themselves and leaving other cells unharmed. They found that grape seeds activate the JNK protein, which regulates the cellular signaling pathway leading to planned cell death, or apoptosis.

The discovery has important implications for the inclusion of protective agents in the prevention and treatment of hematological diseases and possibly other cancers, the oncologists say. Previous experiments have revealed positive functions of grape seeds against certain tumors in the uterus. Doctors noticed that the flavonoids in grapes contributed to their reduction and the death of cancer cells. It is assumed that in the fight against blood cancer, a commercially available extract from grape seeds in various doses. The higher the extract dose, the faster apoptosis (self-destruction) occurred without affecting the functioning of healthy cells.

As recorded by doctors, the main process by which substances in grapes resisted cancer cells in the blood is the blocking of the JNK gene. Experts also note that grapes contain vitamins, minerals, fiber and even proteins that are important for human health, thanks to which it can be used as a home remedy for many ailments. It is a rich source of vitamins A, C, B6 and folates (derivatives of folic acid), as well as important minerals - potassium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium and selenium. Grapes contain flavonoids, which are powerful antioxidants that reduce free radical damage and slow down the aging process. The pigments contained in grapes increase the overall immunity of the body. Thus, grapes play a key role in the prevention of numerous diseases.

Also, scientists from the Cancer Center of the University of Colorado found that grape seed extract destroys 76% of leukemia cells within 24 hours. At the same time, the extract helps maintain the health of normal cells. Scientists, having studied not only grapes, but also products from it, concluded that they are all anticancer drugs beneficial to the general population.

Red grapes and seed extract are powerful heart and circulatory protection that reduces inflammation, increases cholesterol and triglyceride metabolism. The extract significantly strengthens the collagen of the vessel walls, which prevents capillary rupture, prevents bruising, including spider veins. Strong anti-candidiasis compounds were found in the extract. Some types of candida thrive in digestive tract or paranasal sinuses, with a weakened immune system.

The most valuable product that can be obtained from red grapes is an extract from the very "heart" of grapes - grape seed extract. It is in the seeds of this ancient plant that nature has concentrated a great healing power that can protect modern man from the most dangerous diseases of civilization.

White grapes contain much less of them. Red grape proanthocyanidins are found not only in the seeds, but also in the juice and in the peel. Red grapes outperform white grapes in antioxidant protection by more than 12 times!

French scientists have described the different effects of high and low doses of polyphenols. Very high doses of antioxidant polyphenols prevent malignant tumors, preventing the formation of new blood vessels required for tumor growth. Polyphenols are found in red wine, fruits, vegetables, and green tea.

At relatively low doses, the same polyphenols exert positive effect in diseases of the cardiovascular system, facilitating the growth of a blood vessel. The amount of polyphenols needed for this effect is equivalent to just one glass of red wine a day, or simple compliance. healthy diet, which includes fruits and vegetables containing polyphenols. This diet is known as mediterranean diet. According to the authors, the dose of polyphenols found in a bottle of red wine is needed for an anti-cancer effect. This amount of alcohol is harmful, but the researchers suggest that polyphenols extracted from plants or red wine can be converted into a safe pill. The use of plant polyphenols as a drug presents important advantages because they have a good safety profile, have low price and can be obtained anywhere in the world.

So what are polyphenols? This is a huge group of plants chemical compounds characterized by the presence of more than one phenol group. Polyphenols are involved in photosynthesis, respiration, plant growth, the formation of resistance to poor ecology, including pathogens infectious diseases are responsible for plant pigmentation. Eating a grape berry, drinking a glass of grape juice or a glass of dry grape wine, we not only get pleasure, calories, replenish the reserves of trace elements and vitamins, but also enrich our body with polyphenols. Once in our body, polyphenols control and normalize metabolic processes at the cellular level, and, as shown by numerous scientific studies in recent years, their positive impact can hardly be overestimated. Polyphenols can absorb and neutralize free radicals and stop chain reactions. Not so long ago, a very important flavonoid resveratrol was discovered under the skin of red grapes, the presence of which, according to scientists, mainly explains the famous “French paradox” (low level of cardiovascular and oncological diseases with a fairly fatty diet and a lot of wine consumption).

The effect of polyphenols on the body is multifaceted and is not limited to prevention. cardiovascular disease. For example, anthocyanins and transcoumaric acid provide antibacterial action; flavonoids, together with ascorbic acid, are involved in the processes of oxidation and reduction, increase the elasticity of blood vessels, strengthening their walls, and contribute to the accumulation of vitamin C in the liver and adrenal glands. Procyanidins affect the synthesis and release into the blood of many substances, causing inflammation: histamines, prostaglandins, etc., thus, it is possible to note the antiallergic factor of the action of polyphenols, as well as their wound healing properties. In the production of grape wine, about 63% of all phenolic substances in grape seeds and skins pass into wine, so grape wine can be considered one of the most effective natural medicines, of course, subject to optimal dose its consumption. As a result of large-scale studies involving about 300 thousand people, the largest foreign experts (Gronbayek, Manweiler, Gaggiano, Hart, etc.) came to an unequivocal conclusion: drinking 150-200 ml of dry red wine daily really reduces the risk of death from cardiovascular diseases. diseases. In addition, grape wine polyphenols have an anti-radiation effect: they remove radionuclides from the body.

However, many scientists are concerned about the prospect of evidence-based alcoholism and are conducting intensive research, trying to prove that polyphenolic compounds and resveratrol can be found not only in wine. In particular, it is believed that daily consumption of 125 ml of concentrated grape juice increases the antioxidant activity of blood plasma and well protects low-density lipoproteins (“bad” cholesterol) from oxidation. But the fact remains: regularly consumed in small doses of red grape wine protects the cardiovascular system.

Now the drug naturosis is made from grapes, which is administered intravenously in case of acute blood loss, collapse, shock. Naturose increases blood pressure and reduces the permeability of vascular membranes, promotes the absorption of sugars by the heart muscle. Enoant food supplement has been developed, which is a concentrate of grape polyphenols, which gives good results in the treatment of the cardiovascular system, in particular in the rehabilitation of patients after a heart attack.

Wine and grapes against colon cancer

Scientists from the University of Colorado (USA) found that due to their properties, wine and grapes can prevent the development of colon cancer. At the same time, the most pronounced anti-cancer effect is achieved when using red grapes with skin and seeds. The head of the work, Jairam Vanamala, notes that the substances in grapes in the correct proportion activate a gene that causes tumor cells in the colon to self-destruct. It is noteworthy that the use of grape seeds in the treatment of cancer has no side effects. These compounds are non-toxic and completely safe for healthy cells. They are fatal only for cancerous formations.

Previously, a study of the effect of wine on human cancer was conducted jointly with the Center for Preventive Medicine of the city of Nancy, Dr. Serge Renault. He thinks wine is prophylactic against cardiovascular disease and cancer beneficial effect only if men consume about three glasses of wine (approximately 300-400 ml) per day, and women - 2 times less. Interestingly, in his work, Dr. Renault summed up the results of 15 years of observation of 34,000 patients who underwent examinations and consultations at the Center for Preventive Medicine in Nancy.

American doctors, studying the issue of using grapes against cancer, approached the issue more seriously and urged the public not to get involved in alcohol. Researchers believe that substances can be "delivered" straight to the intestines in the form of pills coated with pectin. Pectin is not digested in the upper intestines, but decomposes in the colon, releasing anti-cancer agents. In addition, numerous nutritional supplements containing all necessary substances. It has been observed that people who use them, among other things, feel a surge additional energy, clarity of thought and general improvement in well-being.

In his next research Jairam Vanamala intends to find out if compounds from grapes can kill cancer stem cells. The fact is that they cope with most cells, but, unfortunately, not with all. At the same time, if stem cancer cells remain in the colon, then the likelihood of a recurrence of cancer is high. Cells at the origin of cancer and stem cells have many features in common, such as an unlimited lifespan and the ability to give rise to other types of cells. That is why they are called cancer stem cells. The hypothesis of the existence of a small population of cancer stem cells that trigger oncological process, became widespread in the 50-60s of the last century.

AT recent times in many countries, the production of non-alcoholic wine has been established, which has found wide medical use. Its technology is easy to explain, but rather difficult, so non-alcoholic wine is still an expensive product. The scheme of its production is as follows: alcohol is distilled off from young grape wine in a vacuum (it turned out that it evaporates the very first of all components), a sour, invigorating drink remains, preserving catechins, pectins, sugars, acids (including amino acids), all vitamin complex, trace elements and others useful material. Non-alcoholic wine has found demand in the treatment of alcoholics, for the rehabilitation of patients with myocardial infarction, with inflammation Bladder and urinary tract. It is considered a general tonic that normalizes metabolism. If non-alcoholic wine is saturated with carbon dioxide and slightly sweetened, you get a refreshing pleasant drink, useful for both sick and healthy people.

Scientists have found that eating grape seeds can significantly help prevent and directly treat cancers that affect hundreds of thousands of people around the world, according to the information portal about science PlosOne.

As it turned out, grape seeds are most effective against stomach cancer, especially in combination with traditional therapy. They also greatly help to avoid such unpleasant consequences cancer therapy for the digestive system, like intestinal mucositis. Such directions medical use grape seeds did not reveal any side effects. The discovery was made by scientists at the University of Adelaide (Australia).

Dr. Amy Chia, who led the study, said: "This is the first time we have found evidence that grape seeds help in the treatment of stomach cancer." She reported that if a person eats grape seeds, they immediately begin their work of destroying cancer cells inside the intestines (if, of course, they are there), while not disturbing the work of healthy cells.

Taking grape seeds does not have a negative effect on the body (including in the case of taking a large amount of concentrated extract).

A completely different picture, of course, is observed when using the traditional method of treating cancer - chemotherapy - which negatively affects the entire body, not just cancer cells. It's too early to talk about grape seed treatment alone, but grape seed extract is already very effective as an adjunct to moderate chemotherapy, said Dr. Chia.

T Thus, another vegan product has shown itself from a new side in the light of the latest medical research. It may be surprising to note that in advanced medicine there is an interesting trend: the use of synergy of the most modern medicines with ... healthy vegetarian and even more often vegan nutrition - that is, the forces of nature itself! It is characteristic that scientists over and over again confirm: healthy eating with an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables, it significantly increases the vital potential of the body and its ability to heal itself.

Of course, no one suggests directly eating grape seeds as a cancer prevention (and this is not safe for digestion). used natural extract in an easy-to-take form. Of course, everyone in a row should not run to the pharmacy and urgently buy packages of such an extract - because if you are a vegetarian or vegan, you already have an average reduced likelihood of cancer.

However, if your family had similar medical problems, it is worth considering this new interesting information- and of course, increase the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables to strengthen the body's defenses, health experts say.

Researchers at the University of Colorado Cancer Center found that grape seed extract inhibits the growth of cancer cells in colorectal cancer.

They report this in Cancer Letters magazine.

Another piece of news is that with more late stage cancer extract is best at inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, increasing the survival rate of patients. The researchers add that grape seed extract not only effectively suppresses cancer cells, but also does not harm healthy cells.

In other words, this tool acts selectively.

Dr. Molly Derry, Rajesh Agarwal's lab and researcher at the University of Colorado Cancer Center, says: "We already knew that active ingredients grape seeds selectively affect many cancer cells. This study showed that cancer cells with various mutations that can resist conventional chemotherapy are quite sensitive to grape seed extract.”

The researchers say their results are especially important today, when due to a sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet and obesity, the frequency colorectal cancer growing rapidly in developed countries.

Screening for colorectal cancer is not widespread enough, so up to 60% of cases of the disease, according to American experts, are detected at a late stage.

Dr. Derry says, "The development of new targeted therapies for advanced colorectal cancer has enormous clinical implications."

The research team worked with several colorectal cancer cell lines, each corresponding to a specific type and stage of the disease. Everyone knows that it takes higher doses of chemotherapy to kill stage IV cancer than stage II cancer. But, as it turned out, for grape seed extract, the dependence is completely different.

Dr. Derry explains: "Inhibiting the growth of stage IV cancer cells requires less than half the concentration of the extract required to achieve a similar result in stage II cancer."

Scientists say they have uncovered a likely mechanism by which grape seed extract specifically targets cancer cells. If antioxidants were used to “rescue” dying cancer cells, then they crossed out the effects of the extract. Researchers believe that grape seed extract causes oxidative stress, which leads to apoptosis (cell death).

“Colorectal cancer is very complex disease, in which about 11,000 different mutations can occur in cells that distinguish them from healthy cells. Traditional chemotherapy drugs are only able to act on certain mutated structures, while cancer can continue to change. This phenomenon often leads to tumor resistance. But biologically active substances from grape seeds can affect a huge range of cellular mutations. The more unstable mutations there are in cancer cells, the more effective the extract will be at affecting them,” says Dr. Derry.

Several studies in recent years have shown the effectiveness of grape seed extract in the following conditions:

Alzheimer's disease.
. Some types of leukemia.
. solid tumors head and neck.
. colorectal cancer.

It should be noted that in all these cases, the effectiveness of the extract was demonstrated in experiments on mice. Before clinical trials on the person business has not reached yet.

It would seem that such a useful thing can offer us a small grape seeds? In fact, a lot of things, and all thanks to the presence of the substance resveratrol, which deserves great attention. According to scientists, this component is able to fight viruses, inflammation and cancer. If you want to learn more about the properties of this product, ABC Health offers high quality grape oil.

Researchers have shown that due to its action, resveratrol first stops the growth of cancer cells, and then completely eliminates them. As a result, the tumor stops developing, one can even expect it to decrease, but here much depends on the person himself. When you start using grape seed aroma oil, you will notice that the amount of medication prescribed by your doctor has decreased significantly. This is good for healing process and health status of the patient.

Naturally, the efficiency is not 100%, but the chance is very good

At least, this is evidenced by the results of studies, during which scientists tested the reaction of the substance to the immunodeficiency virus. Perhaps the grape seed is the very direction that scientists need to go in search of an antidote to AIDS. To achieve more rapid achievement result, you need to combine aromatherapy with other techniques. Homeopathic medicines for practice are very effective, they contain plant extracts. Therefore, they can be used on a par with drugs traditional medicine, behind which the future in the treatment of serious diseases.

Grape seed contains a lot of vegetable protein in its composition. The oil is very useful and valuable, because it is so easy to get, besides, the concentration in the plant is quite small compared to sunflowers, olives or nuts. In cosmetology, resveratrol-based products are often used. Dermatologists note that grape oil has a positive effect on the skin. After applying the product, the surface of the body becomes elastic and elastic. You can also use the substance for hair care or during a massage. The advantage of the oil is its rapid absorption and ease of application.
