Colon Cancer - Food/Herb Prevention/Treatment

Overview
This section outlines the Foods and Herbs that may help to prevent or treat Colon Cancer.

Algae

 Ecklonia cava may stimulate the apoptosis (cell death) of Colon Cancer cells.  ^[1]

 Spirulina may help to prevent carcinogens-induced Colon Cancer.  ^[2]

Bee Foods

 Propolis may help to prevent the development of Colon Cancer (due to its high content of Caffeic Acid and Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (CAPE)).  ^[3]

Beverages

 Coffee may assist the prevention of Colon Cancer.  ^[4]

 Wine may help to prevent Colon Cancer (due to the OPCs content of Red Wine).  ^[5]

Cartilage

 Bovine Cartilage may be useful for the treatment of Colon Cancer.  ^[6]

 Shark Cartilage maybe an effective treatment for Colon Cancer (the use of Shark Cartilage for the treatment of Colon Cancer has not yet been studied in clinical trials but it is known that Shark Cartilage inhibits the formation of new Blood Vessels (a process known as angiogenesis) that “feed” solid tumors - Colon Cancer is regarded as a solid tumor): 

 Caution:  The use of Shark Cartilage for the treatment of Cancer is controversial.  Some clearly unbiased natural medicine researchers have concluded that Shark Cartilage is ineffective for the treatment of Cancer and a recent clinical trial adds support to this counter-argument.  ^[7]

Dairy Foods

 Yogurt may help to prevent Colon Cancer (due to Beneficial Bacteria in Yogurt detoxifying the Heterocyclic Aromatic Amines (HAAs) that may initiate Colon Cancer).  ^[8]

Fermented Soybean Products
