Cancer and Neem

[Guest guest]

Cancer and NeemThe neem tree has been used successfully for centuries to reduce tumors byherbalists throughout Southeast Asia. Researchers in India, Europe and Japanhave now found that polysaccharides and limonoids found in neem bark, leavesand seed oil reduced tumors and cancers (Fujiwara, 1982); (Chatterjee,1961); (Hartwell, 1983) and showed effectiveness against lymphocyticleukemia (Pettit, 1983). In several patents issued in Japan hot water neembark extracts showed remarkable effectiveness against several types oftumors. (Shimizu et al, 1985) Several types of extract were tested atdifferent doses and compared to the effectiveness of a standard anti-canceragent. Several of the extracts were equal to or better than the standardanti-cancer agent against solid tumors. When the tests were done using amore purified extract of neem bark, the results were even more impressiveagainst solid tumors. But the extracts tested were still very crude whencompared to the extremely purified active compounds typically used intreating tumors. Further studies using truly pure active compounds areexpected to produce results at least equal to the control.Another researcher used an extract of neem leaves to prevent the adhesion ofcancer cells to other cells in the body. (Udeinya, 1994) Without the abilityto stick to other cells, cancers cannot spread through the body and are moreeasily destroyed by the body's own immune system or by other treatments.In general, neem is known for its ability to effect cancers. Injections ofneem extract around tumors showed remarkable reduction in size in just a fewweeks. Skin cancers may be particularly responsive to neem. A number ofreports have been made by patients that skin cancers have disappeared afterseveral months of daily application of a neem based cream.
