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.”
