NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS PREVENTING CANCER: ROYAL JELLY AND SEA VEGETABLES
Royal Jelly
Nature and its beautiful creatures are a source of amazement and contain all of our answers to create healing remedies. Royal Jelly, the thick white pharyngeal gland secretion of the nurse bees, which is fed to the Queen Bee, is believed to prevent and treat leukemia. The amazing size, fertility and life span of the queen bee is attributed to its dietary food source, royal jelly. It is also believed to prevent other forms of cancer due to its high free radical fatty acid content. Royal jelly is rich in  vitamins, especially vitamin Bl, B3 and B5.
Royal jelly enhances energy levels, relieves body aches and pains, boosts adrenal gland function and prevents fatigue. It has been toted in different cultures around the world as a ‘youth tonic’. There has been some evidence suggesting that royal jelly has anti-tumour activity. More research is presently being conducted in this area.
Sea Vegetables
Sea vegetables are gifts from the ocean, containing abundant vitamins, minerals, polysaccharides and a rich source of iodine. Iodine has a balancing effect on the body’s thyroid gland, increasing general metabolism.
Kelp is a group of seaweeds with a distinct seaweed odour and salty, fishy taste. Kelp is a particularly rich source of iodine. In Japanese studies there has been shown to be a direct correlation between kelp consumption and the prevention of breast cancer. It is believed the fibre content, and particularly the algin content, is largely responsible, as well as through the stimulation of the cancer fighting T-cells thereby strengthening the immune system.
Kelp also helps to protect against heavy metals and ionizing radiation by binding in the intestinal tract and preventing their absorption. Kelp contains compounds that decrease the absorption of radioactive metallic ions like strontium, radioactive strontium 90, lead, mercury, cadmium, and barium. Kelp and other seaweeds are great to incorporate into the diet, to help protect against the toxic effects of radiation treatment, chemotherapy, x-rays and CT scans.
Alginate, a substance found primarily in kelp, pacific brown kelp and bladder-wrack, enhances immune system function by stimulating T-cells. Alginate is able to dilute potent carcinogens in the intestine and binds to bile acids in the small intestine, enhancing their elimination and therefore decreasing the risk of cancer.
The sea plant wakame is known to counteract the toxic effects of nicotine. Wakame may help to prevent lung cancer and other forms of cancer by stopping the growth of tumours and inhibiting chemical carcinogenesis. Wakame is a strong immune system stimulant. Laminara, a high fibre sea plant also seems to play a large role in the prevention of breast cancer.
Studies on the sea plant Dunaliella bardawil found that it may inhibit spontaneous breast cancers. This may be largely due to its high beta-carotene content, antioxidant properties and its ability to stabilize our body chemistry.
Dulse and kelp powders can be used instead of salt and added to most dishes. Dulse leaves can be soaked, and then added to grain dishes, salads and soups. Kombu, wakame and nori can be added to soups. Nori is the dark leafy seaweed used to make sushi. Hijiki and arame should be soaked, then sauteed and simmered. They can be used in grain or vegetable dishes and salads. Kelp, wakame and bladderwrack contain a cancer-fighting mucopolysaccharide, called fucoidan. Fucoidan stimulates the immune system and prevents cancer by retarding the growth of tumours and inhibiting chemical carcinogens.
