Canadian study: Dandelion can kill 98% of cancer cells within 48 hours, is it reliable?

Aunt Wang, who is in her 50s this year, pays great attention to health preservation. She heard that drinking dandelion water has anti-cancer effects, so she drinks dandelion water every morning. At first I felt really refreshed. But after drinking it for a month, I suddenly developed symptoms such as abdominal pain and gastrointestinal discomfort, and it continued to not improve, so I rushed to the hospital for examination.

After consultation, the doctor believed that Auntie Wang’s abdominal pain was related to drinking dandelion water for a long time. Auntie Wang’s stomach was not very good, and dandelion was cold. Excessive consumption caused abdominal pain symptoms .

Can dandelion really fight cancer?

1. Dandelion has miraculous effects against cancer?

Scientific research has shown that dandelion root can kill 98% of cancer cells within 48 hours. Does dandelion really have miraculous anti-cancer effects?

The study was initiated by a research team at the University of Windsor in Canada. The researchers placed dandelion root extracts with cancer cells and found that the cancer cells were killed in a large area.

From this study alone, dandelion root does have the effect of inhibiting cancer cells.

However, the subjects of this research experiment are cancer cells in test tubes and some animals. The human clinical experiment has not yet been concluded , and it is impossible to determine whether dandelion has some side effects on the human body, and further observation and research are needed.

In addition, the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in the United States found that dandelion root has estrogen-stimulating activity, so some hormone-sensitive cancer cells may proliferate faster under the stimulation of dandelion root , and you must be vigilant.

Second, the role of dandelion lies in these three points

As a "food and medicine homologous" plant, dandelion has been loved by people since ancient times, and even doctors used it to treat certain diseases a long time ago.

From a nutritional point of view, dandelion contains some beneficial components. Dandelion is rich in vitamins, minerals, and terpenoids, which have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory biological activities.

However, whether it has specific effects on the human body still needs rigorous scientific experiments.

Chinese medicine looks at dandelion, and believes that dandelion can clear heat and detoxify, diuretic and relieve stranguria, and can also reduce swelling and disperse knots.

3. Dandelion, how to eat it?

Many people know that medicine is three-point poison, so they are more concerned about how much dandelion can eat.

"Chinese Pharmacopoeia" points out that the dosage of dried dandelion whole herb should be 10-15 grams. If it is impossible to estimate how much to eat, it is best to use it under the guidance of a doctor.

Moreover, the most recommended way to eat it is to drink it after soaking it in water or blanching it .

Although drinking dandelion water has many benefits, we must remember "four do not drink"!

1. Allergies do not drink

People with allergies or allergic to dandelion are not recommended to drink dandelion water.

2, Yang deficiency and stomach cold do not drink

Drinking dandelion water in such people may cause symptoms such as stomach pain and decreased appetite.

3. Don't drink too much

Dandelion is cold in nature. Drinking too much may cause gastrointestinal reactions such as stomach pain and nausea. Long-term excessive drinking may also affect the health of renal tubules.

4. Do not drink for cold infection

Dandelion can be used to clear heat and detoxify, and is suitable for hot infections, but not for cold infections.

Although some studies have found that dandelion root can kill cancer cells, after all, the experimental subjects are only cancer cells in test tubes or some animals, and there is no clear conclusion on human experiments. Although dandelion has the same origin as medicine and food, it is recommended to remember the above four not to drink.
