Lemon - kills Cancer Cells

Lemon - kills Cancer Cells

I received the following  email FWD. I am not sure it is correct or not. Anyhow lemon is a natural product- knowingly or unknowingly I take lemon and Ginger everyday. I found that lemon Grass also is good. See below:

In 2006, a research team from the Ben Gurion University in Israel found that lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus) caused apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells. Through in vitro studies, the researchers examined the effect of citral, a molecule found in lemon grass, on both normal and cancerous cells. Using concentrations of citral equivalent to the quantity in a cup of tea (one gram of lemon grass in hot water), the researchers observed that citral induces programmed cell death in the cancerous cells, while the normal cells were left unharmed.

This is the latest in medicine, effective for cancer!

Read carefully & you be the judge.

Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy.

Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits. You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy. How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multimillionaires large corporations? As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc... It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors. This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders.
The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that: It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas ... The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells. And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells.

Now more about Lemon: 

Although lemons can be found in most kitchens, they have numerous healing properties that many people do not know about. As a matter of fact, the lemon is so powerful, the Romans used them as a cure for all types of poisons.

For every 100 grams of lemon, the nutrition values are as follows:

-Vitamin B: 0.04 mg
-Vitamin C: 50 mg
-Calcium: 40 mg
-Phosphorus: 22 mg
-Carbohydrates: 8.7 gm
-Protein: 0.9 gm
-Calories: 32

Due to the vitamin C content alone, consuming a teaspoon of lemon juice every day reduces blood pressure, strengthens capillaries, acts as an excellent nerve sedative, prevents and treats many infections, hastens wound healing, lowers high fevers, and relieves palpitations. That high content also helps raise good cholesterol (HDL cholesterol), and prevents bad cholesterol (LDL cholesterol) from oxidizing. It also prevents plaque formation, which clogs arteries.

Daily use of lemon juice has many other benefits, as well. For example, the limonoid phytochemicals present in lemons help to reduce the risk of cancer when consumed daily. Daily consumption also aids in liver purification.

Lemon is a diuretic, meaning it causes frequent urination to cleanse the system. Therefore, lemons are good for urinary tract infections, high uric acid problems (like arthritis and rheumatism), and reducing kidney and intestinal disorders. That is because diuretics help flush toxins and harmful bacteria out of the body.

The acidity in lemons also has healing powers, especially with many digestive problems. Lemon, when mixed with hot water, can cure nausea, heartburn, constipation and diarrhea, worm infestations of the lower intestines, bloating, and belching. It also stimulates the liver to produce the correct amount of bile, which helps with digesting food.

Lemon juice also relieves symptoms of minor ailments. Among these ailments are asthma, tonsillitis, and colds. Lemons are believed to dissolve gall stones, relieve hiccups, and treat malaria, as well.

Lemon juice can even help when used externally. When gently applied to the nostrils with a cotton ball, it can stop nose bleeds, though it stings a little. 

They also stop gum bleeding, reduce gum problems related to scurvy (a disease resulting from a vitamin C deficiency), clears acne and eczema, removes blackheads, lightens freckles, prevents sunburns, acts as an antiseptic when used on wounds, and minimizes wrinkles

When mixed with petroleum jelly, it is effective against chapped lips, and as a highly concentrated balm, it can be used as a lotion to break fevers (by encouraging the body to perspire) and to treat coughs and colds, hay fever, menstrual cramps, dizziness, headaches, and high blood pressure.

In addition to all these remedies, the scent of lemon has been found to calm anxieties, clear the mind, center focus, and help induce sleep. The aroma has even been claimed to improve memory storage and recall.

So stock up on these little yellow fruits, and the next time you get a headache, think twice about taking medication, because lemons are so much cheaper.
