柠檬和大蒜提取物对抗乳腺癌 Lemon, garlic extracts fight breast cancer

柠檬 (lemon) 和大蒜 (garlic extracts) 提取物被证明可以消除动物的乳腺癌细胞 (breast cancer)。

2017年的一项研究表明，柠檬汁和大蒜提取物的组合可有效治疗乳腺癌。

研究人员推测，结合大蒜和柠檬提取物可以提高大蒜的抗癌活性，提供增强有机硫化合物生产所需的酸性环境，并添加更多柠檬中可能具有抗癌活性的植物化学物质。

在这项研究中，小鼠注射了乳腺癌细胞。使注射的癌细胞生长14天以形成肿瘤。然后将小鼠分成四个不同的组，给予盐水（对照组），大蒜提取物，柠檬提取物或两者提取物，每天一次注射到它们的胃中。

用柠檬提取物或大蒜提取物处理14天后，肿瘤平均缩小了80％，60％的小鼠完全没有癌症。在用柠檬和大蒜提取物处理的小鼠中，肿瘤平均缩小了91％和80％，癌症完全消失。

同时，未给予任一提取物的对照组小鼠的肿瘤大小增加566％。

该组合也未显示出肾脏或肝脏毒性的迹象。

还要注意，对照组中30％的小鼠在研究结束时没有可检测到的肿瘤，表明他们的身体能够在没有治疗的情况下治愈乳腺癌。

Lemon and garlic extracts help fight breast cancer.

Lemon and garlic extracts proven to be able to eliminate breast cancer cells.

A 2017 study suggests that a combination of lemon juice and garlic extract can treat breast cancer effectively.

Researchers speculated that combining garlic and lemon extracts might increase the anticancer activity of garlic by providing the acidic environment needed to enhance organosulphur compound production and by adding more phytochemicals from lemons with possible anticancer activity.

In this study, mice were injected with breast cancer cells. The injected cancer cells were allowed to grow for 14 days to form tumors. The mice were then separated into four different groups and given either saline (control group), garlic extract, lemon extract, or both extracts, injected into their stomachs once daily.

After just 14 days of treatment with either lemon extract or garlic extract, the tumors shrunk by an average of 80%, and 60% of the mice were completely cancer free!

Meanwhile, the control group of mice not given either extract had an increase in tumor size of 566%.

In the mice treated with BOTH lemon and garlic extracts, the tumor shrunk by an average of 91% and 80 % had cancer disappeared completely.

The combination also showed no signs of kidney or liver toxicity.

Also note that 30% of the mice in the control group had no detectable tumors at the end of the study, indicating that their bodies were able to heal breast cancer without treatments.
