Many researchers have raised questions about the quality of the herbs because geographic differences, time of growth and harvest, etc. may affect their's potency. I do believe, these questions can only be answered by experienced herbalists.
Garlic (Allium sativum) is a species in the onion genus, belonging to the family Amaryllidaceae, native to central Asia. It has been used popularly in traditional and Chinese medicine in treating the common cold and flu to the Plague, blood pressure cholesterol levels, natural antibiotics, etc.
Lung cancer is defined as a condition of the abnormal growth of the cells in the lung's tissue. A most common form of primary lung cancers is derived from epithelial cells. In the Us, Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths, causing 158,683 people deaths, including 88,329 men and 70,354 women, according to 2007 statistics.
A recent study suggested that garlic may be used as a chemoprevention and treatment of lung cancer.
According to the study by Medical Research Center, College of Medicine allyl sulfur compounds and garlic extract found in garlic exhibited anti nonsmall cell lung cancer cell line effects through interference on tumor cell division and tumor cell proliferation.
Benzo(a)pyrene-induced precancerous carcinogenesis in human lung cells, oil-soluble organosulfur compounds in garlic induced suppression of cell proliferation, cell cycle regulation, attenuation of ROS formation, inhibition of DNA damage, after administration.
The examination of the association between raw garlic consumption and lung cancer, a case-control study conducted between 2005 and 2007 in Taiyuan, China, showed that compared with no intake, raw garlic intake is associated with a lower risk of development of lung cancer with a dose-response pattern.
In fact, the Epidemiologic data collected by face-to-face interviews using a standard questionnaire among 1,424 lung cancer cases and 4,543 healthy controls also supported the negation of garlic intake and lung disease and suggested that garlic may potentially serve as a chemopreventive agent for lung cancer.
Dr. Yang GQ, the lead researcher at the 107th Hospital of the People's Liberation Army said, "Black garlic extract (BGE) could have a significant inhibitory action on the growth of lung cancer Lewis cells. The combination of BGE and radiotherapy (by 60Co gamma) significantly induced Lewis cells' apoptosis in the G2/M stage".
Whole-food garlic in reducing the risk and treatment of lung cancer probably due to the effect of its phytochemicals. Adding a portion of garlic to your diet is beneficiary for increased protection against lung cancer development.
