Lemon as a cancer preventer/cure

[Billybunch]

Lemons are supposed to be good for killing candida too. I used to use fresh lemon juice daily and every time I ended up with Interstitial cystitis and back ache, as soon as I stopped consuming citrus the symptoms disappeared.
It's ok reading all the benefits you're supposed to get from these citrus fruits, but until you've tried it for yourself and experienced the positive or negative effects, you won't really know. My experience was like I was pissing razor blades every time I drank or ate citrus.

I certainly wouldnt be using Jiff squeezy lemon in a plastic bottle , could be fatal knowing what goes into processed foods, Better to go fresh and raw.
Other than that , hemp oil is a natural cure. Which is why pharma cannot patent it.

There is some useful info on essential oils that contain Limonene used in Aromatherapy to be found at this site - a must read - many scientific references: http://www.younglivinglink.com/?p=134

Limonene is the active therapeutic ingredient that derives from citrus fruits such as lemon, oranges, tangerines etc. Other phytochemicals are also metioned in the article.

Aromatherapy massage is usually available under the NHS as a palliative/complementary treatment.Apart from the influence of the oils aroma on the brain, especially the limbic system through the olfactory system, the oils have direct pharmacological effects that may be beneficial in cancer treatment as documented in the website article entitled: Limonene & Cancer.

it's probably just the vitamin c content of lemons, although i could be wrong the the rest of the lemon helps too...

interestingly, the next link down in the google search i did is 'quackwatch' and there they vehemently deny there is anything to it-the cynic in me thinks that makes it more likely that this works, after all it's only the immune system that kill rogue cells and stops them multiplying in the rest of us that don't get cancer-so logically making sure you get enough vitamin c and of course that means more that the rda if you have a problem or not makes perfect sense (maybe not massive doses-that may be harmful, i don't know)

good stuff and i'm with you most of the way-apart from pharma has tried to synthesize some of the compounds in cannabis like this one...

...though i've heard it doesn't work half as well-they are doing a trial for pain relief for terminal patients as well-i guess that includes cancer patients
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-ma ... r-14765321

"Sativex, which is delivered in a spray, is derived from cannabis and contains Delta-9-Tetrahydro-cannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD)"

sorry to post a bbc link-i hate them with a passion too

...so with cannabis it's not that they can't synthesize it-they can synthesize anything, but they can't really charge the inflated prices they will if you can just grow it for yourself and actually cure the disease for a lot less fiat currency-so why is cannabis illegal again-oh yeah-add that one to the pile of 'reasons' that don't benefit us

For me proper diet and eating organic foods is really the best thing to do in order to be healthy. Getting vitamin d through sun exposure is also what most articles I've read will help prevent cancer. Being healthy will keep us from this diseases.

As I know that lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy.

Lemon juice taken with water he claimed-- "taken periodically helps theliver. It takes 18 hours to form an amino acid in your body, that's one of thereasons you need that small little shot of lemon juice, for your liver, spread throughout the day. Lemon juice is nothing more than dilute hydrochloric acid".

In the mornings I have half a squeezed lemon, some apple cider vinegar and a teaspoon of raw honey, mix it with warm water and down.

I have heard lots of citrus can lead to gout as well? Anyone know about that?
