Possible Cancer Treatment Rises From Yeast
Reported November 26, 2009
(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Researchers may be able to channel the power of
yeast as a natural treatment for cancer.
Dr. Mamdoch Ghoneum has been a professor and researcher at Charles Drew
University for twenty-five years and has been investigating the use of
non-pathogenic yeast as a natural cancer therapy. Ghoneum's theory is that
cancer cells self-destruct when the cells ingest yeast.
So far Dr. Ghoneum's research has passed pre-clinical tests with positive
results. The next step is for the yeast to be tried in clinical trials to
determine safety, method of treatment and dosage.
"I have no doubt that I am close to unlocking the mystery as to why cancer
cells weaken to the point of destruction after absorbing common everyday
yeast," Dr. Ghoneum is quoted as saying. "The cells just gravitate to the
yeast. I call it fatal attraction."
