Clinical Trials to Prevent Colorectal Cancer
There has been major controversy regarding natural treatments to prevent many known diseases such as various forms of cancer. The American Medical Association (AMA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) frown on naturopaths and homeopaths making claims that certain natural substances can prevent or cure cancer.
One can get in a lot of trouble if they make claims that certain herbs, vitamins, minerals or other natural substances can prevent such illnesses as colorectal cancer. However, what they aren’t telling you is that there is enough validity to those claims that there are currently clinical trials ongoing at the National Cancer Institute that are researching various concepts that naturopaths have been pursuing for countless years.
Just to name a few of these clinical trials being conducted at the National Cancer Institute, take a look at the following list:
- Selenium in Treating Patients With Adenomatous Colorectal Polyps
- Effect of Vitamin E and/or Selenium on Colorectal Polyps in Men
- Clinical Trial of Vitamin D3 to Reduce Cancer Risk in Postmenopausal Women
- Influence of … and Probiotics on the Development of Pouch Adenomas in Patients
With Familial… - Vitamin D for Chemoprevention
- Vitamin D Supplement in Preventing Colon Cancer in African Americans With
Colon Polyps - Healthy Eating for Colon Cancer Prevention
Selenium is a mineral and much of the other research centers around vitamin D. Naturopaths have long maintained that natural, high-fiber foods are an integral part of cancer prevention. Decades later there is finally research being conducted that will substantiate what many of us have known all along. Nature knows best.
