Causes and Symptoms

• Failure to let go of some past issue can trigger colon cancer (see : Mind/Body Approaches)

Home remedies

• Healthy intestinal flora bestows resistance to intestinal disorders such as constipation, diarrhea, diverticulitis, irritable bowel disease, ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's Disease, leaky gut syndrome, autoimmunity, and colon cancer.
• Ginger and its constituents have been studied to inhibit Colon Cancer.
• Inulin appears to lower the risk of Colon Cancer, of course more research needs to be done. Please do not confuse Inulin with Insulin for they are two different things. Plants that contain high concentrations of inulin include: Elecampane, Coneflower Echinacea spp, Dandelion, Wild Yam, Jerusalem Artichoke, Chicory root, Jicama, Burdock, Costus Saussurea lappa, Mugwort Artemisia Vulgaris, Onions, Garlic (Allium sativum), Agave, Leopard's Bane Arnica montana, Yacón, Camas.
• Sweeter than onions, leek contain allyl sulphides that help protect against many types of cancer, particularly colon and Prostate Cancer.
• Limonoids have shown cytotoxicity to breast cancer, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, neuroblastoma, leukemia, melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer.
• Apples : Oligosaccharides from apples (pectin and other fibers) killed up to 46 percent of human colon cancer cells in vitro
• Coffee contains hundreds of biologically active compounds, including potent antioxidant activity, the most unique antioxidant being methylpridinium. Methylpridinium is found almost exclusively in coffee. It has anticancer properties for colon cancer and prostate cancer.
• Resveratrol halts the growth of colorectal cancers.
• Yacón Prevents colon cancer
• Propolis showed strong cancer inhibitory effects against several colon cancers.
• Cinnamon may also reduce risks for Colon Cancer by helping to remove excess bile in the digestive tract and prevent the damage it can cause to colon cells.
• Spice up your life with curries. One of the key ingredients in many curries—turmeric—contains a compound called curcumin which has been shown to reduce the risk of colon cancer by 25%
• Pawpaw suppressed growth in cultured cells of several cancers, such as leukemia, small-cell Lung Cancer, Colon Cancer, Melanoma, Ovarian Cancer, Renal Cancer.
• Frequent consumption of mushrooms decreased the risk of Breast Cancer, Stomach Cancer and Colon Cancer.
• Folate has been shown to reduce the risk of developing colorectal, ovarian, and breast cancers and to help stop uncontrolled cell growth, one of the primary characteristics of all cancers.
• Black Raspberry lowers the incidence of colorectal cancer by 45%. The study authors conclude that the high polyphenol content of the raspberries are likely to influence digestive gene targets and may be of benefit to other digestive cancer lines as well.
• Ganoderma Tsugae inhibit colorectal cancer cell growth
• the chemo-protective properties of anthocyanin-rich extracts (ARE`s) with the highest antioxidant power is found in purple corn, chokeberry, bilberry, purple carrot and grapes.
• Baking Soda remedy benefits cancers of the throat, colon, intestines and rectal area. Because cancer cells are so hungry for sugars, when the baking soda is mixed with maple syrup, the mixture will go straight to the site of the tumor, like a Trojan Horse, where the bicarbonate will quickly work as a weapon against disease.
• peanut butter include antioxidants and healthy fats that reduce the risk of Heart Disease, stroke and Colon Cancer.
• The natural polyphenol in green tea known as ECGC has been shown to be particularly effective in lowering risk of a host of cancer cell lines including prostate, colon, esophagus, bladder and pancreas.
• Pterostilbene and Resveratrol has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects and are naturally found in grapes, most berry species and red wine.
• The best way to keep the colon clean is to incorporate naturally colon cleansing and detoxifying foods into your daily diet like mango, probiotic yogurt, Flax seed, Organic apples, grapes, pineapples, papaya and kiwi (rich in fiber).
• Spinach protects the eyes, good for brain function, guards against Colon Cancer, Prostate Cancer and Breast Cancer, protects against Heart Disease, stroke and dementia, it lowers blood pressure, it's anti-inflammatory and it's great for bone health.
• Beta-Cryptoxanthin (in papaya, mango, peaches, oranges, tangerines, bell peppers, corn and watermelon, egg yolk and butter)seems to reduce the risk of lung cancer and colon cancer.
• mustard contains special polysaccharides that can help preventing colon cancer.
• Lycopene in Tangerine Tomatoes is particularly effective in fighting Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer, Ovarian Cancer, Cervical Cancer, and Colon Cancer.
• Red Cabbage : A study on red cabbage shows that its glucosinolate compound can prevent a variety of cancers including Prostate Cancer, Colon Cancer, Breast Cancer and Bladder Cancer. It also contains omega-3 fatty acids, folate, manganese, dietary fiber and magnesium – all of which are strong cancer-fighting nutrients.
• beet juice is an astonishingly effective treatment for leukemia and other cancers : betanin pigments can impede tumor cell growth in tissues throughout the body, including the colon, stomach, nerves, lungs, breast, prostate, testicles.
• Cherries : Researchers believe anthocyanins in cherries may reduce your risk of Colon Cancer.
• Grape seed extracts may prevent the growth of breast, stomach, colon, prostate, and lung cancer cells in test tubes.
• Vitamin E protects against bowel cancer. It is found in eggs, wheat germ, liver, unrefined vegetable oils, and dark green vegetables.
• Tea of the yaupon holly plant inhibits colon cancer.
• Lady Finger has been shown to increase the health of the colon and the mucous membranes.
• Calcium is a proven protector against colon cancer.
• magnesium may lower Colon Cancer Risk.
• Avoid foods high in saturated fats and nitrates.
• Selenium may be protective : Choose chicken (or turkey or Brazil nuts).
• Peanuts have been linked to a lower rate of endometrial and colorectal cancers in women.
• Mint exhibits the capacity to protect the animals’ lungs, skin and colon against the formation of cancer.
• turmeric inhibits the growth of the H. Pylori bacteria, one of the causes of colon and Gastric Cancer. It has also been known to help fight Prostate Cancer.
• Ginseng has anti-cancer effects on cancer cells found in the colorectal area of the body.
• Yerba Mate Tea kills colon cancer cells : The caffeine derivatives in mate tea not only induced death in human colon cancer cells, they also reduced important markers of inflammation.
• Black raspberries prevent colorectal cancer.
• Cocoa polyphenols from dark chocolate significantly lower colon cancer risk.
• consumption of the plant flavonoid luteolin is able to inhibit the activity of cell signaling pathways (known as IGF and PI3K) important for the growth of colon cancer.
• Cumin has anti carcinogenic properties in particularly for cancer of colon.
• Black Cumin : Cell studies have found that black seed extract compares favorably to the chemoagent 5-fluoruracil in the suppression of colon cancer growth, but with a far higher safety profile. Animal research has found that black seed oil has significant inhibitory effects against colon cancer in rats, without observable side effects.
• Ellagic Acid
• Thunder God Vine : the active compound triptolide has been shown to inhibit colorectal, pancreatic and ovarian cancers
