Aloe may help prevent or aid in the regression of cancerous tumors, a new study suggests.
Researchers from Istanbul University in Turkey investigated the use of Aloe vera leaf pulp extract against tumor cells in mice.
In the study, mice were divided into five groups. The former two groups is to accept the control group of tumor cells, one healthy and one, but it did not accept the aloe vera treatment. Experimental group consists of receiving injection of tumor cells prior to acceptance of a group of aloe vera, and tumor cells injected into one of the accepted aloe, and the last group received injection of tumor cells was measured after the aloe. Each rat received aloe injection twice a week for 21 days.
Researchers measured the tumor size, inflammation of various organs, as well as a variety of immune cell counts to determine the role of aloe vera. The best results be placed in the tumor prior to treatment groups receiving aloe read. Aloe vera has also been paid attention to reduce the size of the tumor and the tumor placed in the acceptance of the aloe, and later placed in the tumor mice.
The researchers also observed a decrease in the number of various tumor markers with the use of aloe in all three experimental groups.
The researchers concluded that due to its capability of enhancing the immune system, Aloe vera may be a possible preventative agent for cancer.
Strong and good scientific evidence supports the use of aloe for constipation (laxative), dandruff/seborrhea (sebhorrheic dermatitis), genital herpes and psoriasis.
Other integrative therapies with strong of good evidence for the prevention or treatment of cancer include vitamin A, probiotics, psychotherapy and selenium.
