Sea Cucumber, commonly used in Chinese medicine has recently shown promising results in the fight against Cancer. A new study shows that the extract killed 95% of breast cancer cells, 90% of melanoma cells, 95% of liver cells and 88% of lung cancer cells in vitro. The extract also activates the immune system and impedes key metastasis.

Now, the sea cucumber.
I used to go deep sea bottom fishing with my pops....and we brought a few of these ugly things up.
Really really ugly creature, especially when it is out of its element, like on my hook at the end of my line.
I'm thinking they just actually scare the cancer away

I created a similar thread making it a bit more broad.

I was disappointed to see that most of the comments seem to favor the establishment medical model, which we know treats symptoms not causes.edit on 7-11-2013 by gladtobehere because: wording

There are people who are paid to lend a scientific cast to the fantasy elements in some films, such as the Incredible Hulk. In that case, the explanation for Bruce Banner's transformation was that David Banner was experimenting with cells from sea cucumbers, which explains why stress causes his tissue to swell and harden. Interestingly, it also prevents him from falling ill or suffering serious damage, not to mention an accelerated healing factor. I wonder if this is why that guy came up with the idea of using sea cucumbers to explain the science behind the Hulk's creation.edit on 7-11-2013 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)

semi off topic but not really
op mentioned previous miracle supplemental things like vit-c and baking soda.
a person would need one or the other right? i mean wouldn't they cancel each other out?
vit-c is just ascorbic acid, and baking soda is the alkaline antacid.

I really hate cancer & I'm almost certain that at one point in my life I will have to battle this disease. That's why it's so important to post everything and anything that might give us a chance. From Vitamin C to Baking Soda to now this...the Sea Cucmber! There is hope for all of us but unfortunately you have to know where to look to even be in the know. I'm thankful to those on here that post this because one day one of us may be saved by these methods.

In a 10 day test they compared this extract to that of chemo. While chemo did a better job of shrinking the tumor, 47% compared to 40%, there are no side effects with the Sea Cucumber that chemo has.

Going a little off topic here but just yesterday while going to a hospital in Moline (I work for the Hospitals in IA, IL) I ran into an old co-worker. He was being wheeled in by wheel chair. He had battled brain cancer a few years back and last I had known he was in recession. I could tell by just looking at him that he was sick again. I asked him how he was and had small talk with him. I didn't go into details with him but he just said he wished he were better.
Anyways long story short I ask my boss this morning if she knew any info on Chris. She said, "ya, he passed away this morning". I was like "whoa I just saw and talked to him yesterday". My heart just sank & I had wished I had talked to him a little more. I still don't have any of the details but apparently he had cancer in his back as well.
So spread the word as much as you can. Even if these methods only save 1 person it can be deemed successful.
Overview
There is little reliable scientific evidence to support claims that sea cucumber is effective in treating cancer, arthritis, and other diseases.
What is the evidence?
Research is currently under way to learn whether some compounds made by sea cucumbers may be helpful against cancer. Compounds called triterpenoids have shown some promise in laboratory studies in slowing cancer cell growth and in stopping the formation of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. In another early laboratory study, a fatty acid (12-MTA) that came from a sea cucumber was found to slow the growth of prostate cancer cells. No studies testing these compounds in animals or humans have been reported as of yet in available scientific publications. Results of such studies are needed to find out whether these compounds are useful against cancer in living organisms. It is important to note also that extracted chemicals or substances are different from supplements made of the whole sea cucumber and would not be expected to produce the same results.

If it sounds too good to be true, chances are that it is.
Sadly this is nothing more then someone wanting to push sales on a product, and willing to pray on desperate people to do so. There are thousands of such scams out there...
