中国植物复合物在40天内横扫癌症

有种植物名字很奇怪并且鲜为人知，如今它的复合物却作为癌症杀手成为头条新闻。这种植物的复合物可以使小鼠身上的胰腺癌肿瘤消失。

名为“雷公藤'或俗称的“断肠草”这种中国植物，实际上是一种复合中药材，长期以来被用于治疗某些疾病包括类风湿关节炎。

根据明尼苏达州大学的共济会癌症中心的最新研究结果，雷公藤植物的复合物可以在40天内令肿瘤完全消失--- 即使在停止治疗后也未发现肿瘤。这个结果发布在《科学转化医学》期刊上，杂志是由美国国家卫生研究院资助。这种抗癌复合物的效果，甚至使参加该项目工作的科学家们都惊呆了。

在先前的研究中，雷公藤中含有的雷公藤甲素被确认是癌症的克星，它被认为是对抗肿瘤的关键成分。

该研究负责人和癌症中心副主席（阿肖克.萨鲁佳Ashok Saluja）对彭博(Bloomberg)解释他是如何被这种简单植物的功效征服的：

 “这个药杀伤肿瘤细胞的有效性令人难以置信”他说。

就像许多其他极有效的物质如姜黄和生姜效用一样，主流科学界仍在慢慢地证实许多传统医药从业者终身早已知道的事实。

这当然是基于这样的一个事实：那就是从事天然草药和复合物研究的主要企业没钱进行天然草药和复合物疗效的研究，就象雷公藤中复合物的发现那样。  再比如姜黄、生姜这些被发现具有惊人抗癌作用的物质，和昂贵且危险的化学抗癌药物相比，几乎都是免费的。

尽管如此，大型制药公司赞助的科学家们已经尽可能多地忽略这些药材。事实上，他们甚至已经一次又一次地被抓到伪造数以千计的药品研究成果，以欺诈手段展示由大型制药神汉推动的所谓疗效 ---- 其中许多所谓的有效药品，后来都被迫支付数百万美元的罚款，但与他们所得到的数十亿的利润相比不过是九牛一毛。

Chinese Plant Compound Wipes out Cancer in 40 Days

A little-known plant with a truly bizarre name is now making headlines as a cancer killer, with the compound of the plant vanishing tumors in mice with pancreatic cancer.

Known as the ‘thunder god vine’ or lei gong teng, the Chinese plant is actually integrated into Chinese medicine and has been used for ages in remedying a number of conditions including rheumatoid arthritis.

According to the new research out of the University of Minnesota’s Masonic Cancer Center, the thunder god plant compound led to no signs of tumors after a 40 day period — even after discontinuing the treatment. Published in the journal Science Translational Medicine and funded by the National Institutes of Health, even the scientists working on the project were stunned by the anti-cancer properties of the compound.

Known to contain something known as triptolide, which has been identified as a cancer fighter in previous research, it is thought to be the key component that may be responsible for the anti-tumor capabilities.

Study leader and vice chairman of research at the Cancer Center explained to Bloomberg how he was blown away by the effects of the simple plant:

“This drug is just unbelievably potent in killing tumor cells,” he said.

And just like with numerous other powerful substances like turmeric and ginger, mainstream science is still slowly confirming what many traditional practitioners have known for their entire lives.

This is, of course, due to the fact that there is simply no money for major corporations in researching the healing powers of natural herbs and compounds such as the compound found in the thunder god vine. Turmeric and ginger, for example, have been found to be amazing anti-cancer substances that are virtually free compared to expensive and dangerous cancer drugs.

Nevertheless, the Big Pharma sponsored corporate scientists have managed to ignore these spices as much as possible. In fact, they have even been caught time and time again faking thousands of studies to fraudulently demonstrate the supposed value of pharmaceutical drugs pushed by major pharma juggernauts — many of which are later forced to pay millions in fines which only slightly stack up against their billions in profits.

雷公藤为卫矛科植物雷公藤的根，又叫黄藤、黄腊藤、菜虫药、红药、水莽草，主产于福建、浙江、安徽、河南等地。原植物生于背阴多湿的山坡、山谷、溪边灌木丛中。喜较为阴凉的山坡，以偏酸性、肥沃、土层深厚的砂质土或黄壤土最宜生长。

味苦、辛，性凉，大毒。归肝、肾经。功效祛风除湿、通络止痛、消肿止痛、解毒杀虫。用于湿热结节、癌瘤积毒，临床上用其治疗麻风反应、类风湿性关节炎等，药理研究也表明其有抗肿瘤、抗炎等作用。但其有大毒，应须谨慎。
