There is a difference between prevention and treatment. This is what I say to cancer patients, so we know that having a good bionutrient diet is essential. As for the bioflavonoids, I am all for them. Whether they are going to be useful as a cancer treatment, rather than prevention, is still to be seen. [To determine if] they are going to be effective treatment, we are going to have to wait for the studies to show us.
Dr. Ian Bier, ND, PhD, LAc sees cancer patients at Human Nature Natural Health in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He likes the health benefits of cranberries so much, he offers a recipe for his home made sauce on his blog, which can be accessed here: http://www.humannaturenaturalhealth.com/recipes/CranberrySauce.
“I think there is great potential there, but whenever we’re dealing with any research, especially cancer type stuff, there is a huge difference between (research looking at) cell culture, animal studies and human studies,” Dr. Bier said. “What I say to patients is if everything that worked in the laboratory worked that way in the human body, we’d have no diseases.
Dr. Bier said he isn’t certain about the all the anti-cancer claims specifically for cranberries other than urinary tract cancers.
“Cranberry or any berries have flavonoids, so a lot of these types of (benefits) are going to spread across any of the nutrient-rich berries. For example, we know blueberry helps the retina of the eyes, and cranberry we know about the urinary tract benefits.”
