The sea cucumber, an animal found on the ocean floor, has been used
in Chinese cuisine for centuries, even as an aphrodisiac, but it’s also
been known to treat a wide variety of illness, including certain types
of cancer.
“They’re not only anti-viral, anti-bacterial but sea cucumbers have
been used to treat gingivitis and gum disease, “ Ty M. Bollinger, author
of “Cancer: Step Outside the Box,” told Fox News.
The sea animal, which resembles a large, spiky caterpillar, is used
as an adjunct treatment for those undergoing chemotherapy because it’s
very effective at mitigating the side effects of the cancer treatment,
Bollinger said.
“Chemotherapy is an immunosuppressive set of drugs so it kills the
cancer cells but in the meantime it kills your immune system, the
properties of sea cucumber that are so fascinating is that it makes your immune system run at the perfect speed, that’s why it’s so
effective as an adjunct treatment as well as a treatment in itself” he said.
Besides being immunomodulatory, sea cucumber is cytotoxic, meaning it kills cancer cells.
“Most people haven’t heard about anything that their doctors haven’t
told them about and most doctors aren’t familiar with the sea cucumber.
I’m not aware of any medical school that has courses teaching them on
sea cucumbers at this point,” Bollinger said.
Sea Cucumbers also are very high in chondroitin sulfate, which you’re familiar with, to treat joint pain and arthritis.
