This deep-sea cure casts away cancer

Did you know that some of the most potent cancer-fighters are two miles deep? Hidden deep within the sea are plants, animals and minerals with cancer-fighting powers so strong they rival the Amazon rain forest’s most potent cancer cures.

Most of these cancer-fighting compounds are just now being explored by modern science… although some have been used by indigenous people for centuries.

The most recent deep-sea discovery is a marine sponge collected by Florida Atlantic University scientists off the coast of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Sea sponges are ancient animals that have been around more than 600 million years. They have many of the same genes as humans, making them extremely useful in the fight against cancer and other diseases.

The sponge scientists collected off the Florida coast contains a natural compound called leiodermatolide. And it’s very powerful: even at an extremely low concentration, this compound stops the growth of cancer cells and prevents them from dividing.

Better yet, this compound is effective against one of the deadliest cancers around — pancreatic cancer.

More than 93 percent of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die within 5 years… and 74 percent die within one year. It’s already taken the lives of Steve Jobs, Patrick Swayze and Luciano Pavarotti. But the compound in this deep-sea sponge may finally put a stop to it….

Scientists tested leiodermatolide on mice with pancreatic cancer and found that it killed cancer cells without killing healthy cells. It also prevented cancer cells from spreading. And it was more effective than gemcitabine, the standard drug used to treat pancreatic cancer, at shrinking pancreatic tumors.

Needless to say, scientists were impressed…

“Given the uniqueness of its mechanism of action, its potency, its selectivity for cancer cells and its in vivo efficacy, leiodermatolide is an extremely interesting compound that merits further studies to determine its therapeutic potential for addressing some of the most devastating forms of cancer,” said the study’s lead author Esther Guzmán.

In fact, leiodermatolide has so much potential that FAU scientists applied for a patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office protecting their use of the compound to fight various types of cancer.

But unless you’re a deep-sea diver, it will probably be a while before you can get your hands on leiodermatolide. So if you want to harness the healing power of the deep-sea now, you’ll have to turn to other underwater cancer-fighters…

• Brown seaweed has been used to fight cancer in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. Its cancer-fighting abilities were first recognized by Western medicine in the 1960s. Since then it’s proven to fight breast and colorectal cancers, among others. Some experts believe it’s the reason the Japanese enjoy longevity.
• Deep Sea water’s high concentration of nutrients and minerals gives it powerful anti-cancer properties. One study showed that deep sea water stops the growth of breast cancer cells and prevents them from spreading.
• Blue-green algae has powerful cancer-fighting abilities. The blue-green algae spirulina, for example, was shown to boost killer T-cells and eradicate tumors in mice.
