How to Kill Cancer
Diallyl disulfide, DADS, C6H10S2 or 4,5-dithia-1,7-octadiene
One of many beneficial sulfide compounds found in raw garlic
Affects detoxification enzymes to rid the body of cancer cells
DADS, as well as DAS (diallyl sulfide), affect cancer cells by
activating proteins that hinder the cell cycle
(DADS)
(DAS)
Where to Find & How to Isolate DADS

Alliin is naturally present in garlic

Alliin spontaneously transforms to allicin when garlic is
crushed (i.e. chewing, chopping, etc.)

Allicin then transforms to various sulfides

DADS makes up ~26% (by weight) of the various sulfides
formed

DAS makes up >5% (by weight) of the various sulfides
formed
(Alliin)
(Allicin)
(DADS)
Fun Facts
Alliin has no odor
Allicin has strong
garlic odor
Alliin is chemically
similar to the
amino acid cysteine
Allicin and its
products are
rapidly metabolized
in the body
DADS can be
metabolized
(oxidized) in the
liver to form allicin
Effect on Detoxification Enzymes
DADS increases the rate of
phosphorylation of cancer
suppressing proapoptotic proteins
Phosphorylation activates proteins
When the proapoptotic proteins are
activated they hinder the cell cycle
and thus result in cell death
Apoptosis, or programmed cell
death, is an important function of
physiologically damaged and
malfunctioning cells, such cells can
lead to cancer
Kills Cancer Cells
DADS increases the expression of the
p53 cancer suppressor gene and p38 MAP
kinase (a protein that halts mitosis in the
G2/M phase)
DADS helps to induce cell death
especially in gastrointestinal, breast, and
prostate cancer cells
DAS also increased the expression of
protein p53 as well as the proapoptotic
bax protein
DAS also decreased the expression of
proteins in tumor cells that stop apoptosis
DAS reduced the expression of the ras
oncoprotein, (high expression of this
protein is associated with malignant
cancer)
Normal vs. Mutated
Cancer tends to start in cells in which proapoptotic pathways are
damaged or malfunctioning
A cell starts to grow and divide out of control
Normal Pathway to Kill Cancer
p53 protein binds to DNA → Stimulates gene to produce p21 protein → p21 interacts with cell
division (stimulates protein cdk2) → p21 complexes with cdk2 → cells cannot enter the next
stage of cell division
Mutated Pathway Leads to Cancer
mutant p53 does not bind to DNA in the same way → p21 protein is not produced → no “stop
signal” for cell division → cells divide uncontrollably and form tumors
Garlic Potions
Garlic Extract - As a daily supplement:
A
tincture can be made by soaking 1/4 pound of peeled and separated garlic cloves
in 1/2 quart of brandy. Seal tightly and shake every day. Strain and bottle
after two weeks of this, and take in drops - 25-30 a day, if desired
Garlic Couch Syrup:
Slice 1 pound of fresh garlic and pour one
quart of boiling water over it. Let sit for 12 hours, then add sugar until you
reach the consistency of a syrup. Add honey for better taste, if desired.
Garlic Tea – For Sore Throat:
Make a garlic tea by
steeping several cloves of garlic in half a cup of water overnight. Hold your nose
and drink it.
Garlic Ear Medicine - For Ear Aches:
Slice a garlic
clove, heat briefly in a small amount of virgin olive oil, and let cool. Then use a
drop of two in the affected ear (strain the mixture beforehand, of course).
Garlic Ointment or Oil- For wounds, cuts,
athlete's foot, skin irritation, fungus,
infection, toothache: Combine about 4 ounces of the fresh cloves
with 1 pint of olive, safflower, or other pure vegetable oil. Heat gently,
uncovered, for about one hour. For oil, strain, bottle, and cap tightly when
cooled. For a thicker ointment, add 1 to 1-1/2 ounces of beeswax to the mixture
as it heats. Let cool and bottle appropriately. Apply to affected area.
