Herb May Inhibit Pancreatic Cancer
The fact that this disease tends to kill so quickly after diagnosis makes cancer of the pancreas difficult to study compared with other malignancies. It is generally found only after it has spread to other organs; scientists are currently trying to find the genetic clues that would allow earlier diagnosis.
The risk of developing pancreatic cancer is somewhat greater among people with a family history of the disease or an inflammatory condition called chronic pancreatitis. But an extract taken from Nigella sativa, the "black seed" used widely in Middle Eastern cooking and traditional healing, has lowered levels of the inflammatory substances linked to pancreatic cancer. Scientists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University found that thymoquinone, found in black seed oil, was also able to shrink tumors in 67% in animals. These findings were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research's 2009 annual meeting.
Black seed is available in two blends at www.theblessedseed.com
