To tested the effects of this plant, a research study was conducted through an online survey among college students. A group of undergrad college student was randomly selected through email from a large university in southwestern Unites States to participate. The study procedure was an online survey, with based questionnaire on college student’s achievement, lifestyle, alcohol, and other drugs behavior if a user of drugs.

In personal health, there is a big lifetime decision to be made. Presented with two basic options, pharmaceutical medicines and herbal medicines, the choice must be made when the situation of illness arrives, which form of medication will be taken? First, the differences between the two types of medicines must be studies and understood by the user. According to the U.S Food and Drug Administration, a drug is defined as, “A substance (other than food) intended to affect the structure or any function of the body” (Center…). With this in mind, both herbs and scientifically produced medications are to be considered ‘drugs’.

Cells are the basic units of structure and function in an organism, and Cells come only from the reproduction of existing cells.

The cell has the ability to reproduce, this ensure the continuation of the organism as cells regenerate and repair. There are two types of cell division:

The extracts and polyphenols suppressed cell proliferation, promoted apoptosis, modulated signaling transduction, inhibited cell invasion, and prevented angiogenesis and metastasis in animal models related to multiple types of cancer such as liver, bladder, prostate, intestine, colon, pancreas, and mammary gland in more than one hundred publications (Yang & Wang, 2010; de Moura et al., 2013). Green tea has been studied expansively for its cancer prevention effects which are believed to be associated with green tea polyphenols known as "catechins (-)-epigallocatchin-3gallate (EGCG), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC), (-)-epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG), and (-)-epigallocatechin (EC)...they each have a level of antioxidants and are strong metal ion chelators, which prevent the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS)" (Yang & Wang, 2010, p. 931; Ziech et al., 2012). Further research has revealed that high concentration levels are necessary to accomplish this, and adding other agents such as Atrovastatin, a drug used to lower cholesterol, increase success (Yang & Wang, 2010). EGCG has demonstrated the most success because it "serves an antioxidant, or pro-oxidant, and

cell division. They can also develop in response to radiation or chemicals in the environment

Introduction Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in the UK. In 2011, just under 50,000 women were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. Most women who get it (8 out of 10) are over 50, but younger women, and in rare cases, men, can also get breast cancer.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. As of 1990, there has been estimated 5 million people who have been taken by the disease. Every one of four people in the U.S will die of cancer, averaging at 1,500 people per day. There are many things in our daily lives that contribute to the growth and spread of cancer. The food and chemical industries take the blame. Naming it the “man made disease.” What many people do not understand is that there are other treatment options rather than chemo and radiation therapy. One of these alternative treatments is natural medicine. Natural medicine is beneficial because people have

It is said, not by fact but theory, that the cure for cancer is in herbs.

Most herbalists know that this flower helps for migraine headaches. But new research has proven it is effective at treating leukemia too. It works by directly attacking leukemia's stem cells in a way that no other form of cancer treatment has been able to do. This herb cannot be used by people who suffer from severe depression because it may worsen it though. Sometimes, another herb (such as St. John's Wort) can be used along with it to counteract this effect though.

Cancer is one of the most deadly diseases in industrialized society. This disease, caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell divisions, can affect different tissues in the body. It spreads very quickly and grows in an uncontrolled way. Modern medicine has different approaches treat this deadly disease (including chemotherapy, radiation, surgery etc.) Powerful chemo-medications circulate in the blood stream and directly kill cells that are quickly growing. In the same time, these medications kill and damage healthy cells. In the other hand, holistic therapies address imbalance of the body, mind and spirit as an important factor in cancer’s treatment. A complete approach to healing cancer naturally includes: Natural “Chemotherapies” (including

These days the treatment of cancer has taken all encompassing ways. The doctors can opt for removing the tumors surgically, injecting the chemicals to destroy the cancer cells or utilize the radiation therapy. Various experiments are carried out clinically to aim the cancer cells in a better manner. Though, there are people who promote a different path of treating the cancer, the natural way.

Turmeric is awesome! It’s a amazing spice with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It actually contains one of the world’s most powerful non-pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory compounds. Many different studies on cancer cells have shown that curcumin has proven chemo-preventive effects. It seems to be able to kill cancer cells and prevent them from growing. It has the best effects on breast cancer, bowel cancer, stomach

The body is made up of trillions of living cells; producing new ones constantly while others die. Normal body cells grow, reproduce, and die in an orderly way. During the early years of a person’s life, normal cells divide faster to allow the person to

Herbal medicines are great alternative for commercially manufactured medicines available in the market.
