Bitter Melon for Psoriasis, HIV, Leukemia, and Other Types of Cancer

Bitter melon contains an array of biologically active plant chemicals including triterpenes, proteins, and steroids. One chemical in bitter melon has clinically demonstrated the ability to inhibit the enzyme guanylate cyclase that is thought to be linked to the cause of psoriasis and also necessary for the growth of leukemia and cancer cells. In 1983, UCLA and Kansas State University worked in collaboration on a research project that demonstrated that bitter melon exerts anti-tumor activity. Later, in 1990, a specific protein called MAP-30 was identified by the New York University School of Medicine as an inhibitor of HIV replication and infection. 

The MAP-30 anti-cancer and anti-viral activity of bitter melon makes it beneficial not only in treating HIV but also colds and flu. In addition to its activity against infectious organisms and cancer cells, this vegetable gives the immune system a boost. 



Bitter Melon as a Natural Treatment for Diabetes and Cancer

Studies have shown that bitter melon can lower blood sugar through its activity on enzymes in the body that change sugar into glycogen. The glycogen is stored in the liver for later use as energy. It’s activity against sugar is part of what makes it an excellent natural anti-cancer medicine in addition to functioning as an effective natural diabetes treatment. 

Bitter Melon and the Pancreas

Bitter melon has a bolstering effect on the pancreas which explains why it can work as a natural treatment for diabetes and cancer. Pancreatic enzymes by themselves have been used to treat cancer with a 13% cure rate, which is pretty impressive given that chemotherapy only has a 2% to 3% cure rate. Pancreatic enzymes are released into the small intestine to digest food, but after digestion has taken place, the enzymes are re-absorbed into the blood and they circulate throughout the body. While they pass through the body in the blood circulation, they also seek out and find cancer cells and sometimes infectious organisms as well. The pancreatic enzymes work to eat through the fibrin sheath that normally surrounds cancer cells. This leaves cancer cells vulnerable to attack by the immune system which explains why pancreatic cancer is such a serious form of the disease. And it also explains why bitter melon is so well-known as a valuable natural treatment for both cancer and diabetes. It’s effects on the pancreas benefit people suffering from either of these diseases.  While bitter melon works its miracles on the pancreas, it also gives the liver some much needed assistance at the same time. The Filipino Department of Health regards bitter melon as one of the most important herbal medicines available to help with liver problems.
