Grape Seed Extract and Cancer
Saturday January 3, 2009
Researchers from the University of Kentucky have discovered that grape seed extract causes cancer cells to die. The extract activates a protein which causes leukemia cells to self destruct by initiating apoptosis or programmed cell death.
Not only does the extract cause lab leukemia cells to commit suicide, but it also causes no harm to normal cells. This study gives hope to the idea that natural compounds may one day be used to treat blood related and other types of cancers.

wow that encouraging to hear that nature has much to our need. am wondering how you get the extract…crush and? thanks
tsungai, from what I have read in other reports, they are simply using over-the-counter grape seed extract that you can find at your grocery store or health food store.
As someone with a rare blood cancer, I find this to be very exciting news!
