Artemisinin is an effective anti malarial TCM herb, that also has potent anti cancer properties. Artesunate (ART) is the semisynthetic derivative of artemisinin. ART has a better absorption than its natural counterpart artemisinin. This study demonstrates ART anti cancer effect on prostate cancer, but artemisinin and ART also effective for other cancers including breast, ovarian, gastric, and melanomas.

From the study:
"Recent studies have shown that ART acts on the electron transport chain (of cancer) and is directly involved in reactive oxygen species generation, which leads to mitochondrial membrane depolarization and an apoptosis response cascade.
In summary, our study is the first demonstration that lncRNA participates in the antitumor effect of ART. ART significantly inhibited the viability and mobility of PCa cell lines triggered by UCA1 down-regulation. All the described clinical data support the proposition that over-expression of UCA1 may play a key role in PCa progression and development."

The Power of Pepper! 💪
Spices make your food taste great AND give a tone of anti cancer nutrition!💚

Piperlongumine (long pepper) is a very effective anti cancer spice, that helps induce cancer cell death.

The conclusion of this 2018 Indian research paper on colon cancer reads:

"Our study emphasizes that PL inhibits tumor growth by targeting multiple components of Ras/PI3K/Akt signaling axis and its downstream events such as activation of NF-κB and evasion from apoptosis. Therefore, PL appears to be an attractive bioactive [phytochemical](https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/biochemistry-genetics-and-molecular-biology/phytochemical) with future clinical application for colon cancer treatment."

Diet and exercise are the foundation of health. Without them, nothing else works.

But wellness extends far beyond what’s on your plate and your workout routine.

It’s about the energy you surround yourself with.
The thoughts you feed your mind.
How you navigate stress, cultivate purpose, and honor yourself in the process.

Real health also means:
- Building habits that strengthen your mental and emotional foundation
- Releasing toxic attachments to people, patterns, and outdated versions of yourself
- Making gratitude a non-negotiable practice
- Embracing growth, especially when it challenges you

This wisdom from reminds us that healing happens on every level - physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

The snow fungus, more than skin deep.

The royals of Tang Dynasty (618-907 BC) consumed and bathed in copious amounts of the medicinal snow fungus, or silver ear ( tremella fuciformis) to support their health and perfect complexion. Today silver ear is still used in the skin care industry for its anti-aging and moisturizing properties

The benefits of silver ear go way beyond skin deep. Its ant cancer properties help to suppress tumour immune system evasion, tumour blood supply, and metastasis!

Anti-tumor activity of Tremella fuciformis polysaccharides (TFPS) has been widely reported, but its mechanism remains poorly understood. In this study, we established an in vitro co-culture system (B16 melanoma cells and RAW 264.7 macrophage-like ...

Radiation, albeit sometimes necessary, does have side effects. Fortunately food can mitigate these side effects.

Miso, staple in my kitchen.

The miso needs to be consumed before the radiation exposure and to have been fermented for at least 6 months. Longer fermentation can have more benefits.
