There are certain proteins present within our immune system that hold some specific instructions to destroy the cancerous tumors. This ability is always present in a healthy, well functioning body and does not require your body to use drugs. Sometimes, an uncontrolled growth of the cells or DNA mutations makes these proteins become ineffective. Food toxins and chemical pollution can also override the natural functions of the immune system, again making these proteins ineffective
A research conducted at the Pennsylvania State University, has revealed some foods that inhibit the production of tumors and at the same time supports your immune system to combat the cancer cells
The researchers involved in the study state that, people who subscribe to cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiations, underestimate their body’s healing powers and the devices it can use on its own along with the right choice of nutritious foods.
They also claim that chemotherapy damages the healthy cells along with the powerful proteins that are actually beneficial for fighting cancer. Scientists have discovered a molecule that helps to activate a cancer fighting protein in the body, known as TIC 10. TRAIL or tumor-necrosis-factor-related apoptosis-including ligand, is a specific type of protein that can suppress the development of the tumors. It also has the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, a barrier separating the brain and main circulatory system.
Our body is blessed with infinite wisdom, the brain can detect poisons and foreign invaders like chemotherapy. The blood-brain barrier blocks many cancer drugs, considering them harmful for the brain. However, TRAIL can pass through the blood-brain barrier because it is considered beneficial for the immune system, by the brain.
TRAIL works in two ways. Firstly, it kills the cancer cells and also the nearby damaged cells. Secondly, it boosts the nearby healthy cells and activates their TRAIL receptors that are effective for killing cancer cells.
