GRAPE SEEDS FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER AND OTHER DISEASES
These seeds were mentioned in the Holy Quran by Allah be He Exalted.
Nowadays, science had discovered one of its medical benefits which is
the treatment of leukemia …
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon
him, said that Allah had not brought down any illness without a cure for it, currently, the scientists found many remedies available in the nature. Thus, Prophet Muhammad had founded what the science had recently confirmed, that the nature is the main source of cure.
One of the most important kinds of fruits that is used as a remedy is
Grapes. Allah had mentioned this fruit in the Holy Quran as a fruit of
the people of paradise and certainly Allah’s choice for this fruit to be for the people of paradise is for great wisdom and to guide us for the
importance of this fruit, He the Exalted says: ” Then We brought forth
for you therewith gardens of date-palms and grapes, wherein is much
fruit for you, and whereof you eat”. (19: Al Mu’minun).Not only the
fruit, even the seeds of the grapes were found to have great benefits in treatment of the most dangerous disease, the cancer!
A product extracted from the grape seeds proved effectiveness in self destruction of leukemia cells, the experimental studies showed the effectiveness of the commercially available product in killing 76% of the cancerous
cells after 24 hours of exposure to this product through a self
destruction process known as Apoptosis while the unaffected cells
remains intact.
Professor Exianglin Shi, from Kintaki
University, who led the study, said that what everybody’s looking for is a tool that affects the cancerous cells only without the intact cells,
and this study showed that a grape seed extract product can be as this
tool.
The grape seeds have a group of phytochemical
antioxidants, such as Resveratrol which has anti-cancer properties, the
researchers believe that this discovery will open the door for many
promising new treatments of Leukemia, a type of cancer of unknown
causative factor but the scientists are suspecting many causative
factors result in the incidence of this disease that could be viral,
genetic, environmental and immunological
The formerly mentioned scientist exposed the Leukemia cells to different doses of grape seeds
extracts. The high doses of the extracts made clear influence in the
self destruction of many cancerous cells. It is remarkable to say that
self destruction system or Apoptosis is a naturally occurring mechanism
for eliminating the destructed cells or those exposed to carcinogenesis, when this mechanism stops the cancerous cells start to multiply.
The researchers discovered that the extract strongly activate JNK
Protein, this protein helps arrange the self destruction process. They
warned that the time is too early to recommend eating grapes or its seed extract for the prevention of cancer.
Previous Experimental
studies had proved that the grape seeds have effective properties in
fighting cancerous cells in skin, breast, intestine, lung, stomach and
prostate whereas none of the previous experiments proved the
effectiveness of the seed in preventing Leukemia. Nevertheless, the
related observations and experiments confirms that seeds, leaves and
juice of grapes plus grapes itself all have numerous health benefits.
According to the folk medicine, experimented along thousands of years,
the grape is considered the ideal food for activation of cells
especially brain cells and a good food for the heart. Also it is
important energy source for muscles and cells.
Merely, we say
that mentioning this fruit in the Holy Quran is an evidence that it is
the words of the well acquainted and the best knower, as if Muhammad was not Allah’s apostle, he would not inform about these kinds of foods, he would rather mention stories of him and his families and will glorify
himself, but the one who meditate the Quran will find nothing of such
stories which strongly repels the claims of the suspicious.
This discovery indicates that God, who is the best knower of his slaves, their diseases and cure, had mentioned this fruit in the verses of the
Quran to be a kind reference to its significance which are being to be
discovered by the scientists day after day.
Let us contemplate
the following verse and thank Allah, the Almighty for his blessings: ”
And a sign for them is the dead land. We give it life, and We bring
forth from it grains, so that they eat thereof* And We have made therein gardens of date-palms and grapes, and We have caused springs of water
to gush forth therein *So that they may eat of the fruit thereof – and
their hands made it not. Will they not, then, give thanks?” (33-35:
Yasin)
Oh Allah, all praises to you for every blessing from
you, all praises to you until you are pleased, all praises to Allah the
lord of all that exists.
