Colorectal cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers. It may not make itself known for years. A person may feel quite normal and lead a normal life, and only when the disease progresses to advanced stages, he or she begins to feel unwell and goes to the doctor. Unfortunately, in this case, therapy may no longer be effective.
The good news is that scientists have managed to isolate a compound that can fight colon cancer. Moreover, it has been proven that it is non-toxic to cells, unlike chemotherapy and various drugs.
For instance, scientists have found that the polyphenol schizandrin B (Sch B) has a strong effect on already existing tumors in the intestine. Moreover, this compound is able to protect the body against the development of several types of cancer.
Previous studies have already shown that Sch B has anti-tumor properties and can protect against liver, breast, ovarian, stomach and gallbladder cancers. Now scientists have found that this compound is also.
Sch B is obtained from Schisandra chinensis. This plant is also known as the "five flavor berry". Schisandra has a bright citrus aroma, but its taste cannot be reliably determined. If you put a berry in your mouth and chew it, you can almost simultaneously taste the sweetness of the peel, the sourness of the pulp, the bitterness of the seeds, and the overall salty-fresh flavor.
In the course of studying this plant, scientists made a very important step: they managed to unravel a molecular mechanism that can affect tumors. Now experts will work on developing possible treatments that could help people with colorectal cancer in the future.
But apart from the beneficial effects on the colon, this plant has other amazing benefits.
Due to its high concentration of antioxidants, schisandra helps fight free radicals and reduces inflammatory responses that cause many diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
With its ability to help the immune system and fight inflammation, schisandra may be able to stop the development of atherosclerosis, normalize blood sugar levels, and prevent the development of diabetes.
As an adaptogen, schisandra helps to naturally normalize hormones and thus increase our ability to withstand stress, both physical and psychological. With adaptogens, the body saves energy to support reproductive health, skin repair, vision, cardiovascular health and fight infections such as the flu, chronic sinusitis and colds.
Since the plant helps normalize the production of hormones, including estrogen, it is actively involved in bone regeneration and increasing bone mineral density. These properties may be effective in preventing diseases such as osteoporosis that occur in older women due to hormonal changes.
Dozens of studies conducted over the past 50 years have demonstrated the efficacy of schisandra as a liver cleanser, treatment of pneumonia, gastric hyper- and hypo secretion, chronic gastritis and peptic ulcers.
Schisandra phytoestrogens are particularly active in protecting against neurodegenerative diseases such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and significantly improves cognitive function. It also helps improve symptoms of anxiety, depression and motor dysfunction. It acts as a tonic and sedative and improves vision, including night vision, and hearing.
How to use schisandra?
You can mix clean dried berry extract with water in a 1:6 ratio to make a tincture. You can also purchase an already prepared tincture and take 20-30 drops per day. If desired, this amount can be divided into two receptions.
You can also take the berry extract or powder. Schisandra berries are safe in an amount of no more than 3 grams per day.
In addition, tea or tonic can also be consumed. You can buy them in ready-made form or prepare them yourself. To do this, pour boiling water with no more than 3 grams of schisandra and infuse for 40-60 minutes. If desired, you can add other useful plants to the drink, for example, ginger, cinnamon, licorice root or turmeric.
Since it affects virtually every organ of the human body, it is no coincidence that in traditional medicine, schisandra is equated with vitality.
