Aloe Vera Compound Kills 90% of Breast Cancer Cells: Aloin, a compound found in aloe vera, was shown to kill up to 90% of human breast cancer cells in vitro— and at remarkably low concentrations. Aloe vera contains multiple anticancer compounds such as aloin, emodin and alosin. It also contains potent antioxidants and immune stimulating compounds which are responsible for its many other health benefits. Aloe vera has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine to treat burns and sunburns, aid in wound healing, support the immune system and many others. Recent research has confirmed many of these benefits as well as aloe’s potent antibacterial properties (aloe mouthwash has been shown to actually fight plaque build-up in a just-published clinical trial). And most impressively: it’s already been proven on real cancer patients in clinical trials. In one trial, cancer patients taking aloe vera in addition to chemo felt better, had more 3 times more remissions, and lived significantly longer than the patients just taking chemo. It’s also been tested in multiple trials as a treatment for radiation dermatitis (it works). Aloe vera has also shown activity against colon, lung, prostate and pancreatic cancer in lab studies. But strangely, no further clinical trials are being run to confirm aloe vera as a cancer treatment. One has to wonder why.
