There are a lot of natural compounds that are studied for their anti-cancer fighting properties. However, only a small number of these compounds have been proven to target and kill the cancer stem cells which lie at the root of cancer malignancy. Turmeric, for instance,  is targeting the center of cancerous tumors. More recently, ginger has been found in pre-clinical research to contain a compound up to 10,000 times more effective than the chemotherapy drug Taxol at killing breast cancer stem cells.

A study published in Anticancer Research provided us with the list for the best 25 substances which target the center of the cancerous tumors. The list includes the dietary source too:

  • Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) – Green Tea

  • 6-Gingerol – Ginger

  • β-Carotene – Carrot, Leafy Greens

  • Baicalein – Chinese Skullcap

  • Curcumin – Turmeric

  • Cyclopamine – Corn Lilly [we do not suggest consuming this plant; this simply illustrates natural components exist that kill cancer stem cells]

  • Delphinidin – Blueberry, raspberrry

  • Flavonoids (Genistein) – Soy, red clover, coffee

  • Gossypol – Cottonseed [we do not suggest consuming this plant; this simply illustrates natural components exist that kill cancer stem cells]

  • Guggulsterone – Commiphora (myrrh tree)

  • Isothiocyanates – Cruciferous vegetables

  • Linalool – Mint

  • Lycopene – Grapefruit, tomato

  • Parthenolide – Feverfew

  • Perylill alcohol – Mint, cherry, lavender

  • Piperine – Black pepper

  • Placycodon saponin – Playycodon grandifloruim

  • Psoralidin – Psoralea corylilyfolia

  • Quercetin – Capers, onion

  • Resveratrol – Grapes, plums, berries

  • Salinomycin – Streptomyces albus

  • Silibinin – Milk Thistle

  • Ursolic acid – Thyme, basil, oregano

  • Vitamin D3 – Fish, egg yolk, beef, cod liver oil

  • Withaferin A – Withania somnifera (ashwaganda)

Why are these ingredients important?

The ability to selectively target cancer cells, and cancer stem cells in particular, while leaving the healthy cells in tissue is extremely important. In addition, they are also a natural way to heal cancer, without chemotherapy. On the other hand, the big pharma (cancer) industry didn’t produce even one single drug that has this ability, that is, target the cancerous cells right in the center.
