This 9th Century Superfood is a Cancer-Killer

Healthwise

February 16, 2014 


You’ve probably heard of spirulina.
People have been eating it since the 9th century. But what we didn’t know was how powerful it is against cancer.
This alga can stop the growth of human leukemia cells by 50 percent in just 48 hours.1
It may not look appetizing, but this blue-green alga comes with major health benefits. Adding it to your diet may help prevent and even kill cancer.How? By increasing the amount of natural killer (NK) cells in your body. They’re the immune cells that track down and destroy cancer cells. So it boosts the natural cancer defenses your body already has in place.2
This food is high in chlorophyll, which cleanses and oxygenates your blood.3 That gives your immune system the support it needs by stopping the formation of cancer cell colonies.4 The result is that it destroys cancer cells as they’re forming and stops them from taking hold if they do.
Spirulina is also brimming with essential fatty acids, vitamin B12, and a protein called C-phycocyanin. That gives it its deep blue-green color.  But more important, that’s why it has such powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.5
Adding spirulina to your diet is easy. You can find it in supplement form in health food stores and online. Unlike chlorella, you don’t have to worry about finding a digestible form with broken cell walls.
If you’re worried about cancer, add these algae to your diet. It’s a superfood all on its own. Including it in a diet rich in healthful fats and leafy green vegetables will give your immune system the support it needs to keep cancer away. But spirulina isn’t the only answer to staying free of cancer.
Unfortunately, you don’t hear about a lot of them in the mainstream news or at your doctor’s office. Especially when it comes to ways to safely treat cancer after you have it. But during our research, we came across several success stories of one natural treatment.
For example, Carol R., a retired schoolteacher. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009. Mainstream treatments scared her. So she went to a specialized health facility in Wichita, Kansas for this therapy.
Now she says, “Not only is the cancer gone from the inside, everything has improved…head to toe…skin, nails, hair, teeth, eyes…everything. I feel stronger than I did 20 years ago—which is amazing because I thought I was healthy then!”
