Ginger and Cancer
Recent studies have found that ginger may be up to 10,000 times more effective at fighting cancer than chemotherapy.
As stated by Food Revolution:
“The new study titled, ‘6-Shogaol Inhibits Breast Cancer Cells and Stem Cell-Like Spheroids by Modulation of Notch Signaling Pathway and Induction of Autophagic Cell Death,’ identified powerful anti-cancer stem cell activity in 6-shogaol, a pungent constituent of ginger produced when the root is either dried or cooked. The study also found that the cancer-destroying effects occurred at concentrations that were non-toxic to non-cancerous cells – a crucial difference from conventional cancer treatments that do not exhibit this kind of selective cytotoxicity and therefore can do great harm to the patient.”

After grating the ginger and adding it and the lemon juice to the water, do you need to let it sit for a while before drinking it?
