Bladder CIS, also known as carcinoma in situ, is a unique form of cancer that spreads cancerous cells all over the lining of the bladder. CIS is not easy to treat because it can be difficult for a surgeon to differentiate between the normal areas of the bladder and the tumor-infected areas. Alternative herbal remedies can help prevent further growth of cancer cells.
Parsley
Parsley is a popular herb that contains cancer-fighting properties such as flavonoids and polyacetylenes. These anti-inflammatory agents aid in blocking the growth of several types of cancerous cells. Parsley is especially effective in helping individuals with bladder CIS, as parsley can penetrate the bladder wall and inhibit cancer-forming tumors. Inquire with your physician or health care professional as to the amount of parsley that would be beneficial to you.
Green Tea Extract
Green tea extract contains powerful anti-cancer properties and can be helpful when dealing with bladder cancer. It can inhibit cancer cells and stop the spreading of the cells by keeping them confined, making them easier to treat. This works because green tea's active ingredient, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, interferes with the movement of malignant cells. For best results, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center, consume two to three cups of green tea daily, or take 100 to 750 milligrams of standardized green tea extract once daily.
Maitake
Maitake, a fungus that alternative medical practitioners have used for centuries, has a cancer-fighting agent that can increase immune cells and reduce the formation of tumors. Dr. Sensuke Konno and colleagues at New York Medical College found maitake-d extract powerful in dealing with bladder CIS cells, reducing the growth and spread of cancer cells significantly in laboratory tests, according to Konno's article in Alternative Medicine Review (March 2007). Take three maitake-d capsules of 240 milligrams daily or as recommended by your health care provider.
