Cancer Treatment & Shilajit
We have covered a lot of medicinal properties and health benefits of shilajit in our previous blogs. But our latest blog surpasses all the previous discoveries and can be a beacon of hope for many around the world.Wonders of wonders, shilajit has been found to be toxic to various types of cancers, including lung, breast, colon, bladder, ovarian, and liver cancer. Some researchers attribute the toxicity of these cancers to the presence and combination of heavy metals in the substance, making it a potential natural cancer treatment. Let us explore what this discovery entails.
What is shilajit?
Shilajit is a sticky tar-like substance that is found primarily in the rocks of the Himalayas, but also in other mountainous regions such as the Caucasus Mountains, Altai Mountains, and the Andes Mountains. It is formed over centuries by the gradual decomposition of plant matter and minerals.Shilajit has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic medicine to treat a variety of ailments, including fatigue, stress, and inflammation. It is also known to be a potent antioxidant and may help improve brain function and memory.Shilajit is rich in minerals and trace elements, including fulvic acid, iron, zinc, and magnesium. Fulvic acid is a powerful antioxidant and has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, and anti-viral properties.Studies have also shown that shilajit may have potential benefits for heart health. One study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food found that shilajit supplementation decreased total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides in healthy volunteers.In addition to its potential health benefits, shilajit has a unique taste and aroma that is prized in some cultures. It is commonly used as a dietary supplement in capsule or powder form, and is also used in some foods and beverages.It is important to note that shilajit can interact with certain medications and should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It should also be avoided by individuals with certain medical conditions, such as gout.
Shilajit for cancer treatment
Cancer is one of the most common diseases in this day and age. Despite the development of new and improved treatment and diagnosis methods, it is still the second most common cause of deaths. Studies found that the main components of Shilajit are humus (60–80%), benzoic acid, fatty acids, ichthyol, ellagic acid, resin, triterpenes, sterol, aromatic carboxylic acids, bioactive 3,4-benzokoumarins, amino acids, phenolic lipids and microelements. The most important role among these have the following bioactive molecules: dibenzo-alpha-pyrones, humic acid, and fulvic acid. These components mediate Mumio’s strong antioxidant activity and are carriers for active ingredients. Shilajit is also a rich source of amino acids, especially exogenous, such as methionine, leucine, and threonine, and also endogenous such as histidine, proline, glycine, tyrosine, arginine, and aspartic acid.Also related to cancer is the ability shilajit has to protect certain body systems from dangerous radiation damage. A June 2016 study published in the Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics found that it greatly protected ovaries from radiation-related damage in an animal study.Another research analyzed shilajit's effects on urinary bladder cancer. The results showed that Mumio was significantly more cytotoxic to urinary bladder cancer cells than to normal cells. These results are promising and indicate Mumiois a great candidate for urinary bladder cancer treatment and further investigations should be performed.Mumio has antimicrobial activity against various strains of pyogenic microorganisms, which is associated with the presence of benzoic and fulvic acid. These antibacterial properties of Mumio can be supportive for bladder cancer treatment and prevention according to the two-hit hypothesis as it not only impairs cancer cell growth but also prevents chronic inflammation, which are considered to be important factors in the initiation and progression of bladder cancer.To date, only a few studies evaluatedthe effect and the mechanisms of action of Shilajit on cancer cells. So far research results indicate that more interest should be given to the evaluation of Shilajit/Mumio’s potential use for cancer treatment. It can be potentially difficult to analyze the distribution of Shilajit to various tissues because of its complex composition. Due to these considerations, we suggest further investigating intravesical application together with long-term oral administration of Shilajit for bladder cancer treatment. Moreover, long-term administration of Shilajit was found to be safe in an animal model and clinical studies did not show significant adverse events after Shilajit administration.
