Scottish mineral water 'kills cancer cells'

The water of life -- or " uisge beatha " in Gaelic -- is

a euphemism for whisky, but another Highland drink has

been shown to have a more valid claim to the title.

 

The water, sourced from near Balmoral Castle, has been

said to possess healing qualities since 1760 A mineral

water taken from wells near the Queen’s Balmoral

Castle can help to slow the spread of cancer,

according to scientists.

 

Tests on Deeside Mineral Water suggest that it

inhibits the growth of certain cancerous cells and

kills other diseased cells.

 

Researchers from the department of biochemistry at the

University of Maribor in Slovenia, placed diseased

cells in the water for 10 days then compared them with

cells which had been left in laboratory-grade water.

 

They found that the Scottish product inhibited the

growth of colon cancer cells 62.5 per cent faster than

ordinary water, and also encouraged the growth of

healthy cells.

 

In another test, it killed 35 per cent of liver cancer

cells, 21 per cent of cervical cancer cells and 6.5

per cent of skin cancer cells.

 

The water, which has been said to possess healing

qualities since 1760, was shown in earlier studies to

reduce inflammation in patients suffering from

rheumatoid arthritis.

 

Martin Simpson, managing director of Deeside Water,

said the water was a natural anti-oxidant and had a

low mineral content.

 

But he warned it was not a miracle cure, adding: " It

is not a replacement for any treatment, but we hope it

may complement medical therapies and also make a

positive contribution towards a healthy diet, as

naturally functional water with benefits for all.

 

" Water is our largest single source of daily nutrition

and the basis of health, so the quality of the water

we drink has a profound effect on our well-being,

particularly in the longer term. "

 

Special properties were first attributed to the water,

which comes from the Pannanich Wells near the village

of Ballater and is filtered through granite, when a

woman claimed in the 18th century that it had cured

her of scrofula, a once common infection acquired by

drinking milk from cattle with tuberculosis.

Jai ji, what are you doing ??? Do you want to shut down the multi

billion dollar cancer industry???

 

Another research in the US states Vit C can cure cancer. It was

immediately smothered.

 

How can you " cure " cancer without chemotherapy, radiation and other

expensive drugs? That is blasphemy !!

 

You would surely go to hell for this !!!
