Lemon Grass can cure Cancer? Israel Studies and JC Kurian

Live healthy and long

From Pulse, December 2012 

I have posted many healing plants from the Dr. JC Kurian book.  Lately I came across an article written by him at Pulse, a publication of Asia Pacific International University last December 20, 2012.  He writes that one of the benefits of lemon grass (Cimbopogon stratus) is its cancer healing property which was quoted from other publications.

Lemon grass usual use is aromatherapy and fragrance.  It is used for food flavors too and grows abundantly in the Philippines.  This is good news for cancer patients who are poor but who have access to lemon grass.

The curative powers of lemon grass must be published and made accessible to the public

The original study was made at Ben Gurion University (BGU) and published in Planta Medica. 
The research was made by Dr. Rivka Ofir and Prof Yakov Weinstein

Here are links to some of the studies:

From Scrib.d - Israel studies shows citral in Lemon grass kills cancer cells.  However this is just in vitro studies.

From Hub pages - just one gram of citral in lemon grass causes suicide of cancer cells

From Buzzle - Lemon Grass tea for cancer 

Zabidov farm in Israel a mecca for cancer patients for fresh lemon grass

From You Tube - Making Lemon Tea Grass 

Livestrong on Lemon Grass Cancer Cure

Lemon grass is plentiful in the PHL.  We could export lemon grass specifically for cancer cure.  Or make this a as part of medical tourism.
