My first experience using ginger medicinally was for my dog who had lymphatic leukemia. Dylan was a 9 y/o Giant Schnauzer. I was searching the net for ways to help him and the use of a variety of amino acids and other anti oxidants helped keep him alive until I ran across this.
It turns out that ginger has the same effect on a variety of cancers as a drug, DiChloroAcetate (DCA), being experimented with at the University of Alberta with great success. Cancer shuts down the mitochondria in the cells with controls the lifecycle of the cells. What this means is the cells don't die. They just keep dividing and dividing. Ginger reactivates the mitochondria, causing the normal cell lifecycle to resume, and essentially causing the cells to essentially commit suicide. One of the other main benefits of ginger being used in this manner is, unlike conventional medicines which basically are poisons and the hope is they will kill the cancer before they kill everything else around it, is that ginger reawakening the mitochondria only affects the cancer cells, not the cells around the cancer.
Unfortunately, we will never see DCA used to treat cancer in the USA. It's a drug that has been off patent for decades and is now sold as a generic drug. There just isn't enough profit in it for the drug companies to do the R&D to get it approved.
Ginger also has a few other effects on cancer. It inhibits tumor growth. I believe this is from all the amino acids in ginger which are antioxidants scavenging up free radicals which spread cancer to other cells.
It also tricks cancer cells into consuming themselves. Ginger also helps maintain normal sugar levels in the body. Cancer thrives on sugar. When cancer runs out of sugar they start consuming themselves.
I would grate about a teaspoon of ginger into fruit and yogurt for breakfast for my dog and mix another grated teaspoon into his dinner.
I did not stop conventional treatment. I don't know if it would have worked alone. It was not worth the risk to find out.
They started calling Dylan a miracle dog. They thought he should have died 3 times. He was an incredibly strong dog and a fighter. He never really acted sick and he was always playful. The only way I discovered he had any problem were lumps on his throat.
Ginger does not work on all cancers. While he went into complete remission from the lymphatic leukemia, about a month later a different and very aggressive form of cancer came back and he never stood a chance. He was gone within two weeks.
Now my veterinarian recommends ginger for many of her other patients. One of her vet techs recommended it to her aunt who also had lymphatic leukemia. She's alive, well and cancer free today.
I also recommend a wide variety of amino acids be used. They are the building blocks of the body and help the patient stay strong as well as being antioxidants which inhibit the spread of cancer. Probably among the most beneficial are CoQ10 and a combination of Alpha Lipoic Acid and Acetel L Carnatine. The CoQ10 and ALA support the mitochondria and the ALC recycles the ALA making it more effective.
Since then I've discovered that ginger has many other medicinal properties and I now take it regularly. I'll just take a slice of fresh ginger 1-2 times a day, suck on it until it's almost flavorless and then chew on it and swallow it. Now I'm taking fewer supplements for other problems. I'm also hoping this will help ward off cancer as my family seems susceptible to it.
I'll be growing my own ginger this summer. I hear it's pretty easy to grow in a planter and can be grown indoors. Just dig up the roots as you need them and put more soil in for the roots to continue to grow in.
Incidentally, I hear 2 drug companies are doing R&D for ginger as a cancer treatment along with other drugs. Of course they'll patent it and sell it for an insane profit if they're successful.
