Canadian study on Flax seed and breast cancer


 

Hey, here's some support for the Budwig protocol and breast cancer. Exciting
for me, since that is why I am on the protocol:


Friday April 13-- Study: Common Seed Fights Cancer

A recent Canadian study shows that a common seed may be a promising new cancer fighter, researchers say. Dr. Paul Gross of Princess Margaret Hospital and a team of researchers from the University of Toronto asked a group of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients to eat two tablespoons of ground flaxseed each day.
Then, Gross' research team analyzed samples of their tumors. The study found
that flax actually slowed the growth of breast cancer. "The scientific
community is very interested in this study," Gross said. "We've been bombarded by
other investigators from around the world." Researchers found that in less than a
month, the women taking flaxseed slowed their rate of tumor growth by up to 33
percent. There also was nearly a 60-percent drop in the spread of the most
aggressive cancer cells. "Flaxseed is the first nutritional product that has
been studied, and that has produced hard scientific evidence," Gross said.
According to the study, researchers believe that a fiber in the seed helps to sweep
the hormone estrogen out of the body, which blocks its ability to make tumors
grow. Flax would be the first cancer treatment that isn't a chemical,
researchers said. However, since flax is a food, it doesn't have the backing of a drug
company. Researchers said that they don't know how much longer they would be
able to continue their work. Some cancer support groups believe that the data
shouldn't be ignored. "There is a community out there who are hungry for this
kind of information, and it won't bother them that it's not a pharmaceutical,"
Sue Wright of the Willow Breast Cancer Support Center. "In fact, it might
even encourage them"

Here is the link that I found:



I will keep looking because I would like to find the original study and more
information on it.

hey, luv2ski, can you give us a reference for that most welcome news you
sent about a Canadian study? you appear to be quoting an article, but
have not mentioned where you found it. Was it in a newspaper,
or perhaps on a website?

Nick.
