== Home Natural remedies ==* [[Morinda Citrifolia]] edible leaf extract enhanced immune response against lung cancer," has found that an alcohol-based leaf extract of the noni tree (Morinda Citrifolia) was more effective than a commonly used chemotherapy drug in treating lung cancer in an animal model.* [[Juniperus Phoenicea]] : Both berry and leaf oil have shown strong anti-tumor properties. The berry oil works best against brain tumors and lung carcinoma, secondarily against liver carcinoma and breast carcinoma, and finally also against cervix carcinoma.
* [[Pawpaw]] suppressed growth in cultured cells of several cancers, such as leukemia, small-cell Lung Cancer, Colon Cancer,Melanoma, Ovarian Cancer, Renal Cancer.
* [[papaya]] leaf tea is an effective remedy for cancer. A study at the University of Florida found that papaya slowed the growth of a wide variety of tumors, including those of the breast, lung, pancreas, cervix, and liver.
* [[Beta-Cryptoxanthin]] (in papaya, mango, peaches, oranges, tangerines, bell peppers, corn and watermelon)seems to reduce the risk of lung cancer and colon cancer.
* 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.
* [[Apigenin]] widely inhibits cell proliferation of various lung cancer cell lines in a dose-dependent manner and the combination treatment of apigenin and antitumor drugs is very effective in human lung cancer cells, and Nrf2-ARE pathway may contribute to the mechanism.”
* [[Cranberries]] have cancer-preventive benefits especially likely in the case of breast, colon, lung, and prostate cancer.
* recent studies seem to indicate that melatonin combined with Interleukin-2 may be more effective than chemotherapy in treating lung cancer.
* [[Limonoids]] have shown cytotoxicity to breast cancer, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, neuroblastoma, leukemia, melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer.
* [[May Chang]] : a recent study published in PLoS One Journal suggests that vapors from Litsea Cubeba essential oil may be able to kill and arrest the growth of lung cancer cells.
* [[Beta-carotene]] has been shown in research to protect the lungs against toxins that are linked to lung cancer.
* [[Ganoderma Lucidum]] extract induces apoptosis in lung cancer cells.
* [[Mint]] exhibits the capacity to protect the animals’ lungs, skin and colon against the formation of cancer.
* A recent study has produced evidence of [[Milk Thistle]] reversing lung cancer
* [[piperine]] shows a positive effect on lung cancer by producing a significant decline in the formation of tumor nodules.
* [[Grape seed extract]]s may prevent the growth of breast, stomach, colon, prostate, and lung cancer cells in test tubes.
* [[Vitamin D]] may help people with lung cancer to live longer, according to a study released in 2005.
* [[Vitamin K]]2 may help promote the death of lung cancer cells.
*[[Ginger]] and its constituents have been studied to inhibit Lung Cancer.
* [[Acerola]] shows promise for protection against lung cancer.
* [[Bupleurum]] : two studies on human cells (one published in Biochemical Pharmacology in 2006, the other published in Life Sciences in 2003) indicate that bupleurum may help destroy lung cancer cells.
* [[Black Cumin]] : Scientists exposed lung cancer cells to black seed oil or to black seed extract for 24 hours. They used 0.01 mg/ml to 1 mg/ml of the oil or the extract in this experiment. After the exposure, the cancer cell viability was assessed.
* [[Thyme]] : Oil from the common herb thyme was discovered to kill up to 97% of human lung cancer cells. Recent research has shown that if you mix thyme and olive oil it will enhance the availability of hydroxytyrosol, olive oil’s most potent anti-cancer compound.
* [[Licorice]] : Glycrrhizins and flavonoids can even help prevent lung cancer cells from forming which means they can even prevent lung cancer.
* [[Clitoria Ternatea]] : A recent study in China found butterfly pea to be very effective against certain lung cancer cell lines.
* [[Turkey Berry]] : Studies show that extract of Turkey Berry can protect against lung cancer”.
* [[Dong Ling Cao]] (Rabdosia) in tablet form is used for malignant tumors, specifically esophageal, breast, liver, stomach, lung, and thyroid cancers.
* [[Luffa]] acutangula and Lippia nodiflora leaf extract induces growth inhibitory effect through induction of apoptosis on human lung cancer cell line
