Broccoli juice helps patient beat bladder cancer
By Ryan Kisiel
A cancer patient credits his morning glass of broccoli juice
with halting the disease. Ray Wiseman's claim has
prompted more research into the vegetable's healing
powers. Doctors told Mr Wiseman they did not expect him
to survive, when they diagnosed him five years ago.
Green magic: Ray Wiseman with his wife
Joan
But scans show that his cancer has stopped spreading -
vastly improving his chances of a recovery. The
grandfather, 79, puts his health down to the tumbler of
broccoli juice that his wife prepares for him each day.
Mr Wiseman, who lives in Braunstone, Leicestershire,
said: 'I take this juice every day. I know it's done me
good. I suppose it would be the same for everybody.'
His wife Joan, 72, started giving him the juice after a
friend told her about the healing benefits of green
vegetables. For each half-tumbler dose she combines a
head of broccoli with some apples and carrots to improve
the taste.
She said: 'We believe my husband's incredible luck is
down to broccoli. I hope our experience can help other
cancer sufferers. 'The juice is a mess to make but it's
something we have been happy to clear up. He now just
takes it as second nature.
'If anybody else's husband is suffering from cancer and
they are not getting on too well, it could help them.'
Scientists from Cancer Research UK have asked her for
the recipe, to further study the vegetable's benefits.
Recent medical studies have highlighted the possible
cancer-beating powers of broccoli.
British scientists at the Institute of Food Research found
that men who ate one daily portion had altered patterns of
gene activity in their prostates, suggesting that the
chemicals in the vegetable might be able to reduce the
risk of prostate cancer.
According to a report published in the British Journal of
Cancer in 2006, natural chemicals found in certain
vegetables, such as broccoli-cauliflower and cabbage,
can enhance DNA repair in cells, which could help stop
them becoming cancerous.
A spokesman for Cancer Research UK said: 'There's a lot
of research that's focused on broccoli and the healing
properties that the vegetable contains. 'If taken, broccoli
needs to be with a healthy diet that is high in all fruit and
vegetables. 'This can also reduce the chances of
developing cancer.'
Around 10,000 are diagnosed with bladder cancer every
year in the UK . It is the fifth most common form of the
disease and affects more men than women.
A member of the cabbage family, broccoli is rich in vitamin
C and has properties that boost the human immune
systems that fight viruses, bacteria and cancer. Studies
have found that boiling broccoli can reduce its anti-cancer
compounds, but steaming do not.
