Watercress prevents cancer

by Benson

(NaturalNews) New research out of the Cancer Research Centre at

Southampton General Hospital's School of Medicine in the U.K. has found

that watercress, a superfood vegetable, works to reduce levels of the

key growth factor that causes tumor growth. According to researchers,

regular consumption of watercress works the same as -- if not better

than -- conventional anti-cancer drug treatments, except without all the

harmful side effects.

" Watercress has the ability to turn off HIF1, a signal sent out by cells

calling for blood supply, " explains Dr. Perricone, an

anti-aging specialist, concerning the study. " Scientists have been

looking for anti-angiogenesis agents for years because if we can turn

off the blood supply, we can kill the cancer. And it looks like

watercress can do that. "

According to Perricone, when HIF1 levels become irregular and out of

sync, precancerous cells that are otherwise harmless begin to get the

blood supply they need to thrive and grow. But anti-cancer agents

naturally present in watercress protect the body from these malignant

cells and ensure that blood only goes to healthy cells.

A previous study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition

in 2007 found that regular consumption of watercress helps to

significantly reduce free radical damage to white blood cell DNA as

well, effectively improving the body's ability to guard against disease

and maintain good health.

Watercress has been used for centuries to treat other ailments like

migraine headaches, eczema, anemia, tuberculosis and kidney and liver

disease. It contains a wide variety of healing nutrients and, since it

is a food and not a drug, it can be safely consumed in large quantities

to obtain therapeutic benefit.

Watercress can be added to salads, soups, sandwiches, stir-frys, stews

and many other things. It can also be juiced along with other fruits and

vegetables in daily juice beverages.

Hi :

Natural News has a huge amount of information on both preventing cancer and

treating cancer. I refer to their archives a great deal. Watercress contains a

few important vitamins and minerals that are key to fighting cancer. Selenium,

vitamin K, vitamin B6, vitamin C. Selenium is key as it is not found in a normal

diet due to our over framed and mineral depleted soil. 200 to 300 MICRO  grams

(mcg) per day are needed. Please note that micro grams is far less than a

milligram and too much selenium can be toxic.

on.

Hi Victor/,

What will be the best way to eat watercress? Juicing or putting it in boiling

water a few second? I am afraid of bacteria or parasite in the former way and

losing enzyme or other nutrients in the latter way. Any idea?

Thanks,

[Guest guest]

Hi :

Health benefits and cancer defense

Watercress contains significant amounts of iron, calcium and folic acid, in

addition to vitamins A and C.[3][4] In some regions watercress is regarded as a

weed, in other regions as an aquatic vegetable or herb. Watercress crops grown

in the presence of animal waste can be a haven for parasites such as the liver

fluke Fasciola hepatica.[5]

Many benefits from eating watercress are claimed, such as that it acts as a

stimulant, a source of phytochemicals and antioxidants, a diuretic, an

expectorant, and a digestive aid.[6] It also appears to have antiangiogenic

cancer-suppressing properties; it is widely believed to help defend against lung

cancer.[7][8][9][10] A 2010 study conducted by the University of Southampton

found that consumption of watercress may also inhibit the growth of breast

cancer.[11] Due to its high iodine content, watercress has a strengthening

effect on the thyroid gland, thus beneficial for sufferers of hypothyroidism.

In addition, watercress is a known inhibitor of the cytochrome P450 CYP2E1,

which may result in altered drug metabolism for individuals on certain

medications (e.g., chlorzoxazone).[

If you are worried about bacteria, use liquid Nutribiotic GSE. ( Grapefruit

Seed

Extract). Yes cooking will kill the enzymes and other nutrients.
