Women Cancer Health Treatment

The cancer-stopping power of tea does not play favorites; Venus and Mars can both benefit from increasing their intake of green tea. In men, ECG reduces the body’s synthesis of DHT, a potent form of testosterone that causes prostate cancer.
ECG has also been found to be the most potent catechin in inducing cancer cell death in human prostate cancer cells. In women, ECG also helps keep breast cells from turning cancerous. In addition, green tea enhances the effectiveness of chemotherapy and helps protect against radiotherapy damage.
A recent lung cancer study showed that a combination of catechins rather than ECG alone was more effective at producing apoptosis (programmed cell death), and the effect was synergistically increased when catechins were combined with other anti-cancer agents such as the well-known breast cancer drug tamoxifen.

Scientists are now studying the protective effects of catechins on the skin. Ultraviolet radiation is known to cause inflammation and immunosuppression, making the skin treatment more susceptible to to cancer. High doses of ECG and other catechins are particularly effective in preventing inflammation and skin cancer, especially if used as a topical lotion. Researchers discovered that topical ECG reduced the release of inflammatory prostaglandins, which play a role in generating free radicals and promoting tumor growth.
