Papaya Extract Is Natural Cancer Fighter

Papaya leaf extract may be a powerful natural cancer fighter, according to new research. Researchers say that the leaf, a long-time "folk medicine" cure, appears to work on a wide range of cancers, fighting tumors throughout the body (including in the liver, lungs, pancreas, breast, and cervix).

The extract is made from dried papaya leaves and some of the strongest effects cam from larger doses of papaya leaf tea. Papaya leaf appears to boost the production of a powerful immune system-regulating "signaling" molecule in the body, called Th1-type cytokines. Experts believe that the extract could be used as a therapeutic treatment that allows that immune system to kill cancer cells itself.

The best part is that papaya extract does not appear to have any toxic effects on normal, healthy cells. This gives it a big benefit over most cancer treatments, which involve lots of very negative and dangerous side effects!
