Saw Palmetto inhibits and even destroys a wide variety of cancer cells

 

Saw Palmetto Extract was tested on human cell lines of prostate

cancer, breast cancer, kidney cancer, kidney bladder cancer, colon

cancer, and lung cancer; the prostate cancer and breast cancer cells

were from samples that were hormone dependent or hormone insensitive

(in hormone dependent prostate or breast cancers sex hormones fuel

the growth of the cancer). The scientists from the University

Hospital Zurich state that Saw Palmetto Extract inhibited the growth

of every form of cancer cell line. The effects on hormonally fueled

breast cancer and prostate cancer were much more potent than the

effect on hormone insensitive cancers. The Saw Palmetto also was able

to kill from 22.5% to 36.3% of each cancer cell type except for the

human lung cancer. The study is published in the March-April 2007

issue of the journal Anticancer Research.

 

Pygeum Africanum herb helps prostate symptoms and inhibits the growth

of the prostate

 

These French researchers first demonstrate that the herb Pygeum

Africanum inhibits cellular changes that take place in prostate cells

when the prostate is enlarging. They then perform a series of studies

that show that Pygeum Africanum inhibits the enlargement of the

prostate through blocking the activities of growth factors in the

prostate while improving prostate function and bladder function

helping to alleviate lower urinary tract symptoms seen in a man with

a swollen prostate. They now state that Pygeum Africanum is ready for

a large-scale extended clinical trial because of proven efficacy. The

study appears in the March 30th, 2007 issue of the journal Neurology

and Urodynamics.
