Superfoods - 3 Cancer Fighting Citrus Fruits


Many individuals are looking for the best foods to help improve their overall health and well-being. Today, the popularity of superfoods is expanding rapidly as people want to consume foods that are full of healthy nutrients, which are the compounds that our bodies need to grow and maintain themselves. The video above, and this article, outline three citrus fruits that have cancer fighting properties, namely: limes, oranges and lemons.

Limes are an excellent source of vitamin C and fiber, in addition to containing beneficial flavonoids and liminoids. In regards to fighting cancer, a 2009 study found that lime juice inhibited pancreatic cancer cell growth in two ways: the liminoids in limes inhibit the growth process in pancreatic cancer cell growth, while its flavonoids act as antioxidants to fight cancer while at the same impeding cancer cell growth.

Similarly to limes, oranges are an excellent source of vitamin C, but they are also high in dietary fiber, vitamins A and B6, folate, calcium, magnesium and potassium. The vitamin C in oranges combines with its other antioxidants to protect against oxidative stress damage, which can result in cancer. Additionally, oranges, as a citrus fruit, have been found to be especially beneficial in warding off esophagus, larynx and stomach cancer.

Like both limes and oranges, lemons are also high in vitamin C and fiber. The antioxidants in lemons, particularly limonin and limonene, have been shown to have anti-cancer effects. Liminoids in lemons have been shown in human cell studies to combat cancer. Finally, limonin and limonene, lemon's key antioxidants, have been demonstrated to have positive anti-cancer effects for both colon and prostate cancer.

  1. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
