Alternative Cancer Treatment Discovered In Chlorophyll Supplementation

----------   
The fat soluble chemical chlorophyll causes the green coloring found in plant life. Chlorophyll is the one substance in plants that makes photosynthesis possible; without photosynthesis, the world as we know it would be a drastically different place. It has come to the attention of the scientific community in recent years that the power of chlorophyll reaches farther than photosynthesis. Michael T. Simonich of the Linus Pauling Institute states that chlorophyll can help the body fight cancer growth and guards the body from harmful oxidants.

Chlorophyll has been shown to combat the deleterious action of numerous chemical carcinogens. Air pollution, toxic substances created from overcooking meat, and fungus contaminated nuts and grains have been cited as sources of carcinogens. Chlorophyll is able to block the metabolism of these carcinogens, effectively restraining the growth of existing cancer cells and preventing the formation of new cancer cells.

The power of chlorophyll was originally discovered in eastern China due to the prevalence of fungus contaminated nuts and grains. A high rate of liver damage and cancer was connected to the fungus contaminated nuts and grains. Soon it was found that chlorophyll supplementation could be helpful in fighting these diseases. The Chinese experimented with chlorophyllin, chlorophyll’s man-made equivalent. This experimentation showed that 300mg/day, 100mg administered three times daily, dramatically lowered the levels of liver cancer. At this time the Chinese are conducting further experimentation concerning the antimutagenic and antioxidant characteristics of chlorophyll.

Supplemental forms of chlorophyll, research has shown, should be taken before eating a meal. When chlorophyll supplementation is included as a part of the meal, as a salad or side of green, leafy vegetables, it should be eaten first, the meat portion second. The chlorophyll needs to be metabolized before any carcinogenic compounds to be able to provide maximum efficacy.

Green, leafy vegetables chlorophyll provide the largest naturally occurring source of chlorophyll. Spinach, leeks, green beans, kale and other dark green, leafy vegetables should be a regular part of a person’s diet plan. Research indicates that persons that do not already show signs of cancer can find substantial enough protection from chlorophyll in their diet to cause chlorophyll supplementation to be unnecessary.

When a person includes a greater portion of green, leafy vegetables in their diet, not only will they receive the cancer fighting power of chlorophyll; they will also receive all the other known health benefits.
