Chili peppers shown to exhibit antitumor effect on mesothelioma cancer cells (Capsaicin)

Capsaicin, the compound in chili peppers which gives them their spicy taste, may become a source of new, natural drugs for the hard-to-treat Mesothelioma type of cancer.

Mesothelioma is a very aggressive cancer with very poor survival and limited therapeutic options, commonly, but not always, associated with exposure to asbestos.

In this study, the authors demonstrated that treatment of various mesothelioma cell lines covering all mesothelioma subtypes inhibits several biological parameters of transformation. In addition, these results supported an antitumor effect of capsaicin on cisplatin-resistant mesothelioma cells, suggesting that it may enhance therapy by reducing resistance to cisplatin.

"This research could pave the way for further studies to evaluate the use of capsaicin for mesothelioma treatment," says Antonio Giordano, M.D., Ph.D.,

"There is evidence that capsaicin may sensitize mesothelioma cells to chemotherapy, making treatment more effective, and that it may reduce the spread of mesothelioma."

My diet is absurdly diverse. I’m wondering if that really is why I’m so ridiculously healthy. Well, that and the Lord’s grace.

Info to share if you know anyone with cancer:

Fen ben for cancer? - Dr. John Campbell

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q5QjEPGNNg

Check the comments below the video, here are but a few:

“My Mum was given 6 months to live in March, with pancreatic cancer. Refused all treatments and took 222 mg of Fenbendazole 6 days per week. 8 months later is still healthy and tumour has not increased in size. Doctors not interested to know how this happened because she didn’t want their treatments.”

“I gave a friend, 76 years old with stage 3 prostate cancer, chlorine dioxide and 222mg fenbendazole pills. He took 3 activated chlorine dioxide drops in distilled water every hour every day, and 222mg fenbendazole every day for 4 days then 3 off. Tumor was from 12mm to gone in 2 months. PSA from 8 to 0.14.”

“My dear friend was going in for a kidney transplant at Massachusetts General Hospital and was told he had to receive the Covid Vaccine in order to have the surgery. The gave him the shot on Wednesday and he died yesterday. I am beyond words. Our country has completely gone insane. Something must be done!”

“Fenbendazole cured my dog of “terminal” squamous cell carcinoma. FANTASTIC stuff!!!!! My dog had 2 months to live, I gave her fenben and 2.5 years later she’s FINE!!!!”

Every morning I do a shot: 2 tbs apple cider vinegar, half teaspoon of chili pepper, tbs of olive and honey if I have some.

It seems to wake me up better in the morning and helps with energy.I know chili pepper also opens up the veins.

Is it a coincidence that the huge surge of illegal aliens (very many whom ingest a lot of capsaicin) being contracted just happened during the period when all those asbestos-laden buildings needed stripping out?
