Conquering Migraines AND Cancer:
Ginger
Fun Fact: Ginger is 10,000 times stronger than chemo in fighting cancer.
Fun Fact II: Ginger helps your body with digestion and is anti-inflammatory.
Why Ginger?
- 6-shogaol (a component in ginger) targets cancer stem cells at the root of cancer malignancy.
- Cancer stem cells are the cause of regrowing tumors (with ginger, the tumors won’t regrow because it kills off the stem cells).
- Very few chemotherapeutic compounds have been proven to kill cancer stem cells.
Study:
- 6-shogaol is superior to conventional chemotherapy in targeting the root cause of breast cancer malignancy — the breast cancer stem cells.
- It is non-toxic to non-cancerous cells.
Other Cancer Fighters:
- curcumin (in turmeric)
- green tea
Migraines Clinical Trial:
- 1/8 teaspoon powdered ginger worked as fast as a standard dose of sumatriptan.
- Ginger had fewer side effects — the only one was an upset stomach (about 1 in 25 people).
Hot Tips:
- When you feel a migraine coming on, mix 1/8 teaspoon powdered ginger in water. Drink, and the migraine should go away within a half hour.
- Use ginger root to make ginger tea.
- Dry or cook the ginger. That’s when 6-shogaol is produced.
