Because of the hype created by findings which suggested that Resveratrol have some properties which slows down the spread of cancerous cells, the question “can Resveratrol cure cancer” remains unanswered. Here we’ll like to see if there is any possibility of Resveratrol being a cure for cancer.
Natural antioxidants found in red grapes and red wine help destroy pancreatic cancer cells. When pancreatic cancer cells were doubly assaulted with Resveratrol and a few other compounds it induced a type of cell death called apoptosis. This was something which is required for curing cancer cells therefore in future the same combination of drugs can be used to cure cancer.
Studies have shown that Resveratrol destroys the nexus of malignant cells and protects the healthy tissues from harmful effects of radiation during chemotherapy. Purified versions of Resveratrol have been described as anti cancer, anti inflammation. Though I must say that no combination of drugs has been successful in curing cancer cells permanently therefore we cannot say that Resveratrol is a cure for cancer. Not yet, at least.
The reason for thinking of Resveratrol as a cure for cancer is simple. As this wonder compound is highly beneficial for diseases like high cholestrol, diabetes and even Alzheimer’s, it becomes quite natural for a non medical person to think of it as a cancer cure. People associated with medical profession are positive but not very sure if it can be possible in near future.
As possibility cannot be denied, more and more research work is going on in the US and other parts of the world so that this deadly disease can be conquered. As and when it is proved that Resveratrol can cure cancer, its demand will increase many folds opening another opportunity for the medical products manufactures to produce it at competitive rates.
