Whats So Special About The Sea Cucumber<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are many treatments for cancer and one that is leading the way for patients is immunotherapy. At Issels\u00ae<\/a>, holistic integrative immuno-oncology treatment programs is their specialty.<\/span><\/p>\n

With alternative cancer treatments the main focus at Issels\u00ae, the on-going research of sea cucumbers as an additional treatment for several types of cancer is good news.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sea cucumber is a marine animal with a soft, pliable body and shaped like a cucumber. They range in size from several inches to several feet. Over one thousand species call all of the ocean’s of the world home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although extract from the sea cucumber has been used as folk remedies in the Asian culture for centuries, according to the American Cancer Society<\/a>, “there is little reliable scientific evidence to support claims that the sea cucumber is effective in treating cancer, arthritis, and other diseases.”<\/span><\/p>\n

With that said, research and studies have been on-going for many years with results indicating the extract from sea cucumbers has a dual effect on cancer patients. Studies are showing that the extract serves as a stimulant to the immune system and kills cancer cells.<\/span><\/p>\n

Research<\/a> shows the extract is effective in eradicating cancer cells in the colon, breast, pancreatic, lung, liver, and prostate due to a frondoside A, a triterpenoid glycoside from the sea cucumber and formulated into a compound.<\/span><\/p>\n

Information about frondoside A, its effects on cancer cells and the immune system, and its future as a potential therapeutic option, is available in an article from the from the National Center for Biotechnology Information.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
