When I was teaching organic chemistry 101, most students would get tripped up by the vocabulary...and just shut down. I assured them that the main idea was easy to understand. As the professor, my job was to teach it. "Just sit back and enjoy the lesson," I'd tell them...
Definitions come after the one big idea (OBI).
A study was recently published in the medical journal, Cancer Genomics and Proteomics. Scientists were researching extracts of frankincense - boswellic acids, also known as boswellia.
Like tossing salt on your fries, the chemists monitored the effect of boswellic acids on various cells, both sick (cancer) and healthy ones.
Remember, we are made of trillions of cells that are always replacing each other with healthy, new ones...as our health fades, old, decaying cells start to hang on. They don't die off. If this continues, cancer sets in. Boswellic acids fix that!
What the researchers found has the scientific community falling out of their seats...
"With the availability of current biotechnologies, it is evident that Boswellia can mediate anti-cancer effects through direct reduction of pro-oncogenic proteins and transcription factors that otherwise drive aggressive malignancies."
Don't get dizzy with bio-babble. All they're saying is, "when the extract was tossed on cancer cells, they vanished!" See the pic below, notice the fourth slide, bottom right...GONE!
To familiarize fellow researchers and clinicians with the historical use of frankincense, they noted that, "Frankincense has been used as a valuable multi-purpose natural product for over 5,000 years, Scientific literature continues to report that Boswellia and its active component, boswellic acid, can exert diverse anti-tumor properties with the capacity to attenuate proliferation, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis in established models!"
