The qualities of Bitter Melon (Ampalaya in the Philippines)

Simple plant kills up to 98% of cancer cells - and stops diabetes

Bitter Melon or better known as Ampalaya in the Philippines,  kills cancer cells and leave normal cells untouched.   It safely starves cancer cells as efficiently as a powerful  chemo drug. In fact, it even works on pancreatic cancer cells, which are particularly difficult to kill. This plant is a common vegetable from Asia called Ampalaya or "bitter melon." It is popular among the Filipinos and long-lived population of Okinawa, Japan. Bitter melon juice diluted to just 5% in water showed remarkable potency in severely damaging all four pancreatic cancer cell lines researchers tested. The bitter melon reduced the viability of two cancer cell lines by 90%, while it knocked off the other two lines by a staggering 98%. And it did so after just 72 hours of treatment!  Bitter melon juice induced this programmed cell death along several different pathways. And even better, it also activated a pathway, which shows that it knocks out the cancer cells' metabolism of glucose. In other words, it literally starved them of the sugar they need to survive. Do these lab dish studies apply to living animals? A resounding yes! University of Colorado researchers gave mice bitter melon at doses easily achievable in humans. The animals had a 64% reduction in pancreatic tumor size without side effects! This level of effectiveness beat the most commonly used chemo drugs for this lethal cancer. The dose used in mice translates to 6 grams of powder for an average sized adult (75 kg). Big Pharma is rushing to find patentable petrochemicals to achieve what God put into the bitter melon fruit. It baffles Big Pharma that a simple plant can starve cancer cells of their fuel. You don't need any fancy chemicals to make it happen. What's more, the actions of bitter melon may help diabetics as well. Researchers recently found that bitter melon ameliorates metabolic syndrome by its beneficial effects on glucose metabolism. This is wonderful news. We won't beat cancer by any one approach. I believe it must be multifocal. In other words, beef up the immune system, detoxify, eliminate dental infections and toxic dental materials, alkalinize your body, oxidize the body with oxidation therapy, and give specific nutrients to throw a monkey wrench into cancer's peculiar metabolic pathways. All cancer cells show disturbed energy production utilizing inefficient glucose fermentation. Bitter melon may be a huge pipe wrench to uncouple cancer's wayward energy production. In the Philippines, I have seen my mother cooked  "Ginisang Ampalaya" (sautéed bitter melon)when I was small. We sauté bitter melon or Ampalaya with garlic, onions and  tomatoes  with either shrimp or pork cut into small cubes adding water, and we eat it as a viand, with fried fish and rice to go with it. Also, We gather the leaves of Ampalaya as an ingredient for sautéed Mongo beans, usually a dish on Fridays for Filipinos.  One way of eating the bitter melon is by roasting and slicing them. Then we deep the fruit in vinegar with salt. It is a popular cure for diabetes.
