Grape Seed Extract Kills Cancer. Leaves Healthy Cells Unharmed

Add grape seed extract to the list of nutrients that can tell friend from foe, offering safe and helpful non-toxic remedies for those dealing with cancer or wishing to prevent it. The latest study published last week in the journal Carcinogenesis is a mouse study involving head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cells. It showed that grape seed extract damaged the DNA of cancer while blocking the ability of cancer cells to repair such damage. In contrast, grape seed extract is one of the friendliest and most helpful nutrients know to healthy cells.

“It’s rather dramatic effect”, say Rajesh Agarwal, PhD, investigator at the University of Colorado Cancer Center. Cancer cells are fast-growing cells. Not only that, but they are necessarily fast growing. When conditions exist in which they can’t grow, they die. Yet we saw absolutely no toxicity to the mice, themselves. I think the whole point is that cancer cells have a lot of defective pathways and they are very vulnerable if you target those pathways. The same is not true of healthy cells.”

I have previously reported that grape seed extract reduces prostate cancer risk, helps prevent skin cancer, and is effective against leukemia cells. One study shows that grape seed extract and resveratrol work synergistically to knock out colon cancer cells.

It is becoming clear that nutrition offers great hope for prevention of cancer as well as treatment, actually helping chemo drugs work better at lower doses. Nutrition actually has intelligent gene-management function, demonstrating the ability to kill cancer cells while helping to assist healthy cells. Other nutrients in this category include tocotrienols, curcumin, green tea catechins, quercetin, DHA fish oil, and many others.

Individuals should not consider any one nutrient or combination of nutrients as a sole treatment for cancer. However, the ridiculous recommendation by many oncologists to discontinue all antioxidants during cancer treatment should be thrown into the trash bin of ignorance and incompetence. It is high time the FDA and other public health institutions embraced the stunning ability of nutrition to prevent and help combat disease.

**Most reference to Grape Seed is from the common Vinifera species, the Muscadine has 2 extra pair of chromosomes that far exceeds the phenolic and efficacy levels previously known. The Vinifera grape has a phenolic rate of only 273 while the muscadine species has recently been discovered to have 895. And it is that premium raw product extract specific that has already yielded up to 92.6% inhibition of 7 types of cancer, and 36% tumor reduction conducted by Wake Forest University; published and peer reviewed. The human clinical trials have expanded and expected to reach the “treatment/cure” stage over the next decade. However, this premium muscadine raw product is already available to the American public, Puerto Rico in March 2012, and Canada in April 2012.
