Lemon for cancer: what properties does it have and how to take it?
Oncological diseases are quite difficult. Adherents of traditional medicine recommend using various natural products to treat these dangerous pathologies. This article will help you understand whether it is worth taking a lemon for cancer, as well as what properties this fruit has, and how to take it correctly.
Medicinal properties
Citrus fruits contain many useful components. One of the most important of them is ascorbic acid. For a long time, scientists and doctors did not know that natural vitamin C helps prevent cancer. This substance is a natural antioxidant.
Substances that have an antioxidant effect on the body help fight tumor cells. They have no effect on the growth of healthy cell generation. Antioxidants “slow down” the cascade of chemical processes that can lead to the appearance of malignant cells in the human body.
Juicy lemon pulp also contains organic acids. Most of them are citric acid. In its pure form, it is quite concentrated and has a pronounced sour taste. The more of these organic acids present in citrus, the more acidic it will be.
The pulp of the lemon contains components that have a phytoncidal effect. These substances have a detrimental effect on the growth of pathogenic microflora.It is no coincidence that lemons are widely used among the people for the prevention of various infectious diseases.
Contained in the citrus fruit and nicotinic acid. It maintains the physiological extensibility of blood vessels. It is believed that a decrease in nicotinic acid in the body can lead to the formation of dangerous vascular diseases.
The fragrant lemon pulp also contains components that help remove unnecessary metabolites from the human body, as well as radioactive substances. These components, with a long stay in the human body, can increase the risk of developing dangerous pathologies. Some of the radioactive substances are even carcinogens. Drinking lemon helps cleanse the body of these dangerous substances.
Does lemon help against cancer?
Scientists have proven that substances with an antioxidant effect can slow down the course of oxidative processes in the body. To date, a single cause of the appearance of cancer in the body has not been established. There are quite a few scientific theories that explain the appearance of one or another clinical form of cancer.
According to one of these scientific versions, malignant neoplasms appear in the human body due to a violation of the constancy of the internal environment. Homeostasis is an important clinical sign that characterizes the conditional constancy of the internal environment. A variety of factors can lead to homeostatic disorders. One of them is the shift of the acid-base balance.
If the blood pH changes, then this, according to one of the scientific hypotheses of the origin of cancer, can lead to the formation of malignant tumors in the body.
A similar version exists in folk medicine.So, supporters of treatment with natural methods also say that when eating foods that have acidic properties, the risk of developing malignant tumors increases significantly. They include almost all products of animal origin. Traditional medicine experts note that with the predominance of meat dishes in the diet and the almost complete absence of fresh vegetables and fruits, the risk of developing cancer increases significantly.
Modern researchers are currently conducting experiments that are aimed at proving this version. Doctors are already saying that excessive consumption of meat, especially processed meat, can increase the risk of developing dangerous cancers. It is no coincidence that doctors recommend their patients to significantly limit the diet of sausages, sausages and pâtés prepared outside the home. It is extremely unfavorable to consume smoked products, since they contain carcinogens, substances that can increase the risk of developing cancer if they are not conscientiously produced.
Traditional therapy implies an integrated approach. The treatment plan is always individual and depends on many initial factors. Conventional cancer therapy typically includes drugs (chemotherapy), radioisotope therapy, and surgery. Oncologists say that only with this approach can cancer be dealt with.
Supporters of traditional medicine note that natural remedies can be used to recover from malignant tumors. Lemon-based home remedies are widely used in traditional medicine to reduce the rate of disease progression.According to traditional medicine experts, lemon juice contains components that can kill cancer cells. Oncologists, not having a sufficient evidence base for this, consider such a statement to be only fiction.
Is it possible to take citrus fruits with advanced cancer?
Traditional medicine experts believe that lemons, like other citrus fruits, are rational for people to prevent the development of such diseases. They note that lemons contain quite a lot of natural antioxidants. Fragrant fruits contain natural vitamin C, which can reduce the risk of developing a dangerous pathology.
According to oncologists, lemons, however, can be included in the diet of people who suffer from cancer. Doctors point out that hoping for recovery from an insidious disease only through the use of lemon is not worth it. The use of fresh citrus fruits can only slightly improve overall well-being, but, unfortunately, does not lead to a final recovery.
People suffering from oncological pathologies also use lemons during traditional treatment. The testimonials of many people who have undergone several courses of "chemo" indicate that water with a few drops of lemon juice helped them cope with the severe nausea that was present during the treatment with chemical drugs.
Doctors do not advise treating cancer with only lemon juice or soda, without resorting to traditional therapy. Such home therapy can lead to delayed initiation of treatment. In some cases, delayed therapy may be fraught with the appearance of metastases.
