Therapies and brain cancer go hand-in-hand and I do not think that anyone will be able to argue with such a point. Drugs have been put to use in the past and it seems as though many results have been had, some more worthwhile than others. Is it possible, though, that a potential addition to these studies can be derived from nature itself? The reason that I say this is because it seems as though a particular fern may be able to come into effect.
WTNH.com posted an article in regards to a fern seen in North America that would be able to prove useful for the sake of brain cancer. This plant is seen as the Christmas fern, which is especially common in the New England area. While this particular plant is common, you may wonder why organizations such as Voices against Brain Cancer would be able to help with this plant in mind. If you would like to know, there is actually a particular component that can prove useful for the sake of cancer treatment.
Southern Connecticut State University medical specialist Dr. Sarah Crawford went into detail about this particular plant and how it can potentially help in the way of cancer studies. The reason for this is because, compared to other species, the Christmas fern is viewed as one of more potent plants. With this in mind, you may be curious as to what had come about as a result of these studies. If you are curious to know, the results that Crawford discovered were actually quite strong.
As it seems, Crawford put together a triple cocktail combination which was able to come into effect due to the fern extract and a chemo drug known as carmustine as well as an anti-inflammatory known as curcumin. With this set in place, it was seen that it was successful in killing off aggressive cancer cells. According to Crawford, 50 percent of the cells were killed, which is strong for a condition that has no clear treatment as of this time. Only time will tell if further progress will be made.
It is apparent that this cancer type is going to be able to bring about a number of studies. This probably goes without saying but you have to take into consideration the fact that, as of this moment, there is no solid treatment for this condition. I believe that while patients have been helped time and time again, it's not like there is one treatment that is made to help everyone. Crawford's studies have shown that nature may be able to help and I hope that this idea is seen in the future.
