Red Clover The Cancer Fighter

Category: Health News

`Thirty-three different cultures around the world use red clover to treat cancer and cancer-like degenerative diseases (J. Hartwell: Journal of Natural Products). After researching and reporting this amazing fact, Dr. J. Hartwell of the American National Cancer Institute (NCI) decided to study red clover and has since isolated four separate anti-tumour compounds (Lloydia 3:97). The NCI also discovered that this herb contains significant amounts of the antioxidant tocopherol, which has been proven to help prevent breast cancer. It is noted that the plant has estrogen activity and therefore should not be used to treat estrogen related cancers – unless under the careful supervision of a physician. Contemporary Chinese research shows that red clover also contains anti-microbial compounds which are effective against several bacterial, viral and fungal infections (D. Scharz 1993: Thirty Plants that can Save Your Life). Red clover facilitates the elimination of wastes and toxins through the skin, kidneys and bowels. This herb also increases the activity of phagocytes, the body’s amazing “clean-up” cells, that remove micro-organisms and debris from the blood and mucous.’ (Steven R. Schecter, N.D, Fighting Radiation & Chemical Pollutants with Foods, Herbs, & Vitamins, p.23)
