Each year, more and more people are getting cancer, especially lung and liver cancer. However, there are not enough good anti-cancer drugs. A plant-based diet can help shield you from cancer because plants are rich in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant substances that help us withstand exposure to ultraviolet radiation, air pollution and other noxious substances. (Oxidative damage and inflammation promote cancer as well as a number of other chronic diseases.) Furthermore, some plant chemicals enhance the body¡¯s detoxification systems, stimulate the immune system and have direct anticancer effects.
Herbs with this quality destroy, inhibit or prevent the maturation and proliferation of neoplasms (tumors) that may become malignant. Antineoplastic benefits the patient's immune system, which biomedicine overwhelms and supplants with its powerful agents; and aids in tumor reduction itself, potentially shortening the length of time the patient needs to receive radiation and/or chemotherapy. Plant ingredients in this category include 10-hydroxycamptothecin, amygdalin, antharidin, apigenin and baicalein etc.
Stanford Chemicals provides a variety of these natural chemicals to research institutes, colleges and universities, pharmaceutical companies and health products companies for research and manufacturing.
