I BELIEVE I HAVE POSTED ON BITTERMELON BEFORE. BUT SAW THIS ARTICLE AND THOUGHT IT WORTH ADDING TO THE THREAD..
NOT JUST FOR CANCER, BUT FOR DIABETES AS WELL...

Simple plant kills up to 98% of cancer cells - and stops diabetes

I'm always looking for natural substances that throw a "monkey wrench" into the peculiar metabolism of cancer cells. It's vital these substances kill cancer cells and leave normal cells untouched. I've told you about some of my discoveries in the past. They include resveratrol, green tea, Seanol, and others. But today I'm going to tell you about another plant that safely starves cancer cells as efficiently as a powerful chemo drug. In fact, it even works on pancreatic cancer cells, which are particularly difficult to kill.

This plant is a common vegetable from Asia called "bitter melon." It is popular among the long-lived population of Okinawa, Japan.

Bitter melon juice diluted to just 5% in water showed remarkable potency in severely damaging all four pancreatic cancer cell lines researchers tested. The bitter melon reduced the viability of two cancer cell lines by 90%, while it knocked off the other two lines by a staggering 98%. And it did so after just 72 hours of treatment!
In the past, I've told you about apoptosis. That's nature's way of dealing with wayward cells. They simply kill themselves. Bitter melon juice induced this programmed cell death along several different pathways. And even better, it also activated a pathway, which shows that it knocks out the cancer cells' metabolism of glucose. In other words, it literally starved them of the sugar they need to survive.
Do these lab dish studies apply to living animals? A resounding yes! University of Colorado researchers gave mice bitter melon at doses easily achievable in humans. The animals had a 64% reduction in pancreatic tumor size without side effects! This level of effectiveness beat the most commonly used chemo drugs for this lethal cancer.

The dose used in mice translates to 6 grams of powder for an average-sized adult (75 kg). Big Pharma is rushing to find patentable petrochemicals to achieve what God put into the bitter melon fruit. It baffles Big Pharma that a simple plant can starve cancer cells of their fuel. You don't need any fancy chemicals to make it happen.
What's more, the actions of bitter melon may help diabetics as well. Researchers recently found that bitter melon ameliorates metabolic syndrome by its beneficial effects on glucose metabolism.
This is wonderful news. We won't beat cancer by any one approach. I believe it must be multifocal. In other words, beef up the immune system, detoxify, eliminate dental infections and toxic dental materials, alkalinize your body, oxidize the body with oxidation therapy, and give specific nutrients to throw a monkey wrench into cancer's peculiar metabolic pathways.
All cancer cells show disturbed energy production utilizing inefficient glucose fermentation. Bitter melon may be a huge pipe wrench to uncouple cancer's wayward energy production. You can find bitter melon at most health food stores and online.
Yours for better health and medical freedom,

I haven't seen that before - and I'm always on the lookout for new things.
I'm a little suspicious of things that come from Asia though.

I might try that stir fry with the beef, looks pretty good. So I see you core the inside and take the seeds out.

Speaking of Beef, It is just a matter of time before my other vegan sister starts eating meat again. She looks terrible, she has big dark puffy bags under her eyes. This is the sister that drank her own pee, claiming it was the "fountian of youth!" She just got back from Ecuador, she was there for about a month and a half, eating only fruits and veggies, and lots of sugar now. I have read that vegan's start to carve lots of sugar after a while, and boy is that true!! While she was in Ecuador, she posted pictures on Facebook of her drinking pure sugar cane juice! While sugar cane is a good choice for sugar, it still is just sugar, and I don't think I could drink it cause it would be way to sweet for me.

I used to buy her raw coco and nut cookies, but now she makes them way too sweet now for my taste buds. She does not drink tea (not sure about the pee) anymore.... she drinks hot water and molasses, says it is very good for you, but it is really just a sugar!! On the bright side of my nutty sister, at least she does not preach about how good it is to be a vegan to me anymore. The other sicker sister that just converted to a vegan about a years or so ago, she still is preaching her vegan shit to me, and posting it on my Facebook, she knows I will never convert, but she is the very sick sister, you name it, she has it, she can't eat hardly anything anymore, but I feel very bad for her cause she really looks bad these days, and she is only 11 months older than me! I wish she would go back to eating the meat, cause she was way healthier back then and able to work. She only eats fruits and veggies, no eggs, no dairy, no butter.... but the margarine is vegan approved!!!!

The nutty vegan sisters are both on my Facebook now, they "re-friended" me yet again recently, (they like to de-friend me from time to time and then ask to be my friend again!!) I have to be careful not to mention the "pee thing" or I will upset the "family", like it never happened or something... but at least I can feel free to express my feelings here, cause they don't hang out on the "garden pond thread" cause they have no energy to do such stuff, cause they are weak vegans!!! Ha ha ha

On the bright side, my hubby just cooked me another great dish, his favorite, "PC Free From" (from the Superstore) (organic beef from Montana) hamburger patties that he just loves, fried in Gee (clarified butter) with peas and fried potatoes, with his secret spices, and boy does that dish taste good! We eat soft food when he is home cause since his mouth cancer surgery, he still has no teeth, but he sure is happy and working very hard these days! Next time I am at the Superstore I have to get another box of the PC Free From (growth hormones and antibiotic's) and it is from Montana!

I also get this organic free range beef from the farmers market too. :)

Nice.
I've been trying for a while to get a consistent loaf of bread out of our machine.
Sometimes small and dense, sometimes it overfills the machine.
I think it has something to do with the yeast and our altitude.

Butter is really outselling the crappy margarine these days, more people are waking up and hearing the news... bad trans fats not in the butter, only in the crappy margarine!!

I have been observing this trend since the news broke.


Today at the supermarket, first picture lots of margarine...
Second picture, butter more than half sold out!!!!

I think today I will make ice box pinwheel shortbread cookies, from a old recipe. You make the dough up ahead of time and you can roll out two flavors, sometimes chocolate and vanilla, roll together in a log shape, and wrap an freeze till needed for Christmas!!

ya, it may be mostly flour, sugar and butter, but the nice thing is you can just cut a few pinwheel cookies off the log at a time and bake as needed. It is just really simple ingredients and they fix the Christmas cravings and stop you from buying the real junky stuff with crap in it from the stores! :)

Going to dig that recipe out today,,,,
