Moringa and Anti Stomach cancer research
At the Moringaling conference in the Philippines Dr Jed Fahey spoke about:
Sulforaphane effects on Helicobacter Pylori Infection.
Dr Fahey has previously done numerous experiments with Moringa.
Helicobacter Pylori is recognized as a carcinogen by the World Health Organisation.
Infected individuals have 3- to 6-fold higher risk of gastric carcinoma. (STOMACH CANCER & LYMPHOMA)
Dr Fahey's studies were carried out using Broccoli Sprouts. The focus was on Sulforaphane, is also found in Moringa.
What is Sulforaphane
Sulforaphane is a molecule found within the isothiocyanate group of organosulfur compounds. Sulforaphane has anticancer and antimicrobial properties. It is found in such vegetables as Moringa, broccoli, cabbages and Brussels sprouts .
"Although Sulforaphane (from broccoli) and other isothiocyanates (including those from Moringa) are not direct antioxidants, they activate transcription of phase 2 cytoprotective genes, whose products provide chemically versatile, often catalytic, and prolonged indirect antioxidant protection."
"We discovered that Sulforaphane is a highly effective antibiotic against all 48 strains of H. pylori tested It is equally effective against strains resistant to the 2 antibiotics most commonly used to treat H. pylori infections in people."
