10 Facts About the Plant Found to Be '10,000 Times More Effective than Chemotherapy'

1. Numerous studies have proven that turmeric, with its medicinal properties, is the leader in natural cancer treatment. However, the latest research has found ginger to have equally powerful cancer cell-fighting abilities.

2. In a study conducted by researchers at Georgia University, a highly effective active ingredient named Shogaol-6 was identified as responsible for these remarkable effects.

3. Daily use of ginger extract successfully reduced prostate cancer levels in mice by about 57%. Additionally, ginger produced antioxidants in their bodies that greatly improved their quality of life.

4. According to data published in the PLoS magazine, Shogaol-6 was proven to be significantly more effective than certain chemotherapy drugs administered to cancer patients to eliminate stem cells. Ginger was also shown to be effective in combatting breast cancer stem cells, preventing 'daughter' cells from developing and multiplying.

5. So why does ginger succeed where some conventional drugs fail? The answer is simple. Over the years, as the body absorbed more and more chemical medicines, stem cells developed resistance to conventional chemotherapy, and today they are not only able to regenerate but can also produce new 'progeny' known as 'daughter' cells.

6. Shogaol-6 is found to be effective in the complete elimination of stem cells, without allowing them to regenerate and return more aggressively.

7. The component is active whether the ginger is consumed cooked or in its natural form.

8. Shogaol-6 is characterized by selectivity and 'knows' to identify and destroy cancer cells without harming healthy cells.

9. Shogaol-6 also fights the phenomenon of lump formation, a known issue among patients with breast cancer.

10. A comparison between a chemotherapy drug called 'Taxol' and Shogaol-6 yielded remarkably favorable results for ginger. Even when the concentration of the drug was increased, Shogaol-6 still proved to be 10,000 times more effective than Taxol in eradicating cancer cells on one hand, and preserving healthy cells on the other.
