Brain cancer has been home to a number of different therapies, hasn't it? One cannot really argue with this point, especially since there have been a number of drugs utilized in the past in order to bring about strong results on the matter. That being said, what if I were to tell you that there are treatment methods which are designed to help patients in the long term? If you'd like to know, it seems as though a certain type of fern will be able to help on the matter.
An article on WTNH.com went into detail about a particular fern native to North America could actually play into brain cancer in a positive way. This is known as the Christmas fern and it is seen, in particular, within New England. This is interesting enough but for those who show support for organizations like Voices against Brain Cancer, you may be asking yourself, "What does this have to do with cancer treatment?" After work has been done, it has been determined that an active component can prove useful.
According to the report, Dr. Sarah Crawford of the Southern Connecticut State University said that it is a chemical plant, possessing antioxidants that are not typically seen in other species. Keep in mind that Crawford took the time to research other plants as well, meaning that there hasn't exactly been a shortage as far as the work done was concerned. Rather, the Christmas fern was determined to be the most potent for cancer research. What happened as a result of the research done by Crawford.
The way that Crawford approached this matter was to put together a triple cocktail combination in order to target the tumors. This particular cocktail included not only extract from the fern but a chemo drug as well as an anti-inflammatory, carmustine and curcumin respectively. With this creation brought to life, it was able to take out 50 percent of cancer cells in the brain. The success that Crawford was able to see here goes to show that there is progress to be made and that this fern may be used in the future.
It is apparent that this cancer type is going to be able to bring about a number of studies. This probably goes without saying but you have to take into consideration the fact that, as of this moment, there is no solid treatment for this condition. I believe that while patients have been helped time and time again, it's not like there is one treatment that is made to help everyone. Crawford's studies have shown that nature may be able to help and I hope that this idea is seen in the future.
