Pomegranate (Punica Granatum) has been known since ancient times as a remedy for many diseases. The pomegranate is full of very powerful and effective antioxidants - polyphenols and isoflavones, as well as ellagic acid, which, according to modern research, is the reason for the pomegranate's resistance against the development of cancer cells. Results of various studies show that the daily consumption of pomegranate by patients with prostate diseases has an extremely positive effect on the condition of the disease. A cell culture study also shows that even in the late stages of prostate cancer, pomegranate can still have a positive effect on cell structure. Research from 2007 shows that pomegranate extract can inhibit the growth of cancer cells in the lungs, as well as reduce the risk of prostate cancer altogether.

Quercetin is a powerful antioxidant flavonoid that neutralizes the harmful effects of free radicals and thus prevents malignant changes in cells. Quercetin is known to be anti-inflammatory and has a positive effect on atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes and insulin dependence, stomach ulcers, as well as being immune-boosting and positive allergies. It is also widely used in the treatment of prostate problems.

Turmeric (Curcuma Longa) has so many useful properties that it is currently at the top of the list of medicinal and most frequently mentioned plants. One of the main benefits of turmeric is its anti-inflammatory effect. This, together with its analgesic effect, is successfully used in the treatment of arthritic diseases of all types and stages. Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory that can be taken for life without side effects. Laboratory studies show that taking turmeric has a positive effect on cancer. The results showed a greater amount of destroyed cancer cells, a reduction in the size of tumors and blocking the formation of propagating enzymes when turmeric was included as a concomitant treatment. Taking turmeric also soothes allergic reactions of the body of any origin, as well as increases the body's resistance to the irritating factor. Another beneficial property of turmeric is that it supports digestion and accelerates fat metabolism. It is also known that no other natural remedy has yet been found to have as strong an effect as turmeric for lowering blood sugar and lowering insulin resistance. Research over the past five years has shown that turmeric is literally 400 times more potent than conventional drugs in boosting insulin sensitivity. The effectiveness and results of taking turmeric have been compared to the results of conventional medications such as Lipitor, corticosteroids, Prozac, aspirin, oxaliplatin, metformin and other antidepressants, blood thinners, cholesterol-lowering and anti-inflammatory drugs. In addition, it helps to prevent and delay the disease states formed as a result of diabetes. Another important positive effect of taking turmeric is the reduction of symptoms of depression. The results of a clinical study from 2013. show that in mild depression, turmeric can be used as a primary, effective and safe treatment instead of conventional drugs. Over 6,000 studies show that turmeric has the power of action of drugs from conventional medicine, in some cases even has a greater effect than it. The plus side of turmeric treatment is that it has no side effects unlike conventional drugs. Turmeric contains so-called curcuminoids, which are responsible for most of its health-promoting properties. They can naturally suppress the spread of inflammation through COX-2 enzymes.

The shiitake mushroom has been a traditional remedy in Asian traditional medicine since 100 BC. It is used for various health problems and today is known for its protective effect against cell damage and anti-cancer properties. Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) is famous in Japan precisely because of its powerful ingredients as an "emperor mushroom". Shiitake strengthens the body's immune system and is offered as a means of fighting the development of cancer and AIDS. One of the substances contained in the mushroom and from which its name comes - lentinan - is believed to be the main reason for the reducing effect of tumor activity. Lentinan also reduces the side effects of cancer therapies. Another contribution of the imperial mushroom is in the body's fight against allergies, candidiasis, arthritis and high cholesterol.

Studies have shown that young white tea leaves contain more antioxidants than green tea. A cup of white tea contains 12 times more antioxidants than a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice. White tea keeps us healthy and young, reduces the risk of cancer and arthritis, has high levels of antioxidants that can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. White tea is produced with an extremely short fermentation process of the tea leaves. White tea contains high levels of catechins such as EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate). EGCG contains polyphenols that have antioxidant, antibacterial and antiviral properties that promote health, help the body fight free radicals and prevent malignant changes in cells. Epigallocatechin gallate is also known to prevent the development of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, normalize blood sugar levels and fight against cell aging. In addition, EGCG accelerates the metabolism by stimulating the production of norepinephrine.

The antioxidant apigenin contained in parsley has a strong anti-carcinogenic effect with particular success in breast, blood or ovarian cancer. Some new studies show that the flavonoid apigenin destroys some cancer cells, can stop their reproduction and growth. Apigenin is also found in celery and some nuts, but in the highest concentration in parsley.

Lycopene is the red pigment found in tomatoes, grapefruit, apricots, melons, etc., with potential cancer-preventing properties. Lycopene belongs to the group of carotenoids. It is necessary for the normal growth and development of cells, as well as for their specialization to perform various functions in the body. The greatest preventive potential against tumors is its antioxidant activity – the ability to neutralize free radicals /enhanced by vitamin E/. A number of studies prove that taking lycopene reduces the risk of tumors of the prostate, uterus, mammary gland, lung and digestive tract. Lycopene has almost twice the antioxidant potential of beta-carotene. Intake of lycopene reduces the risk of heart disease and activates the immune system. Preventive intake of lycopene can significantly contribute to reducing the risk of prostate cancer.

The mushroom Agaricus blazei (Agaricus blazei Murrill) contains many vitamins and minerals, as well as a large amount of polysaccharides, primarily beta D-glucan. Drinking Agaricus Blazei stimulates the immune system, increases the number and activation of cells responsible for destroying cancer cells, bacteria and viruses. In addition to the antitumor activity, the mushroom also has an auxiliary effect for recovery after chemotherapy/radiotherapy - it helps in the process of formation of normal blood cells in the bone marrow after the therapies.

Thyme has extremely many useful properties for the human body, which are due to the many different substances that are contained in it. First of all, it contains manganese and a variety of flavonoids, which are powerful antioxidants - apigenin, luteolin, naringenin, timonin and others. Thanks to them, thyme prevents malignant changes in cells and has an anti-carcinogenic effect. In addition, thyme's main substance, from which it derives its name, Thymol (Thymus vulgaris), has the ability to increase the percentage of healthy fats in cell membranes, thus increasing the amount of Omega 3 fatty acids. . Thyme also helps with coughs, fungi, bacteria, kidney infections, diseases of the cardiovascular system, etc.

Black pepper is used for colds, neuralgia and rheumatism. The main components of black pepper are the bitter glycoside piperine, vitamin E and C. It energizes the nervous system, improves the digestive function of the stomach and strengthens the muscles of the digestive organs. With it, a person produces more gastric juice and ferments. Black pepper also helps with flatulence and gastritis with increased acidity.

Resveratrol is a type of natural phenol that is naturally released by some plants (such as in the skins of red grapes) when they are attacked by pathogens such as bacteria or fungi. I.e. this substance is the plant's response to fight off the attack and accordingly has strong antibiotic and fungicidal properties. Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals and protects cells from malignant changes. The substance has a number of benefits: anti-cancer and antiviral effect, increases energy, improves heart function and concentration, normalizes blood sugar levels, stimulates the nervous system and significantly improves sports performance. Another very interesting property of resveratrol is that it stimulates in the cells the production of a certain gene, called by scientists the "anti-aging" gene, which is involved in the mechanisms of repairing damaged DNA and in the metabolism of fats and thus improves the health of the whole organism and creates prerequisites for life extension. The way resveratrol attacks cancer is very interesting. It inhibits the growth of cancer cells and blocks the small blood vessels that feed them without stimulating the growth of the tumor in other parts of the body, as anti-cancer drugs do. It also deactivates certain proteins that are associated with cancers, such as NF-kB.

Selenium is one of the most important trace elements necessary for our body. It is a co-factor in a number of enzymes that protect cells from the toxic action of peroxide radicals. This determines its antioxidant effect. In recent years, selenium deficiency has been considered as a possible etiological factor in some cardiovascular diseases, which is caused by the destruction of cell membranes by free radicals in selenium deficiency. It reduces the risk of cancer. It facilitates the removal of heavy metals from the body, including cadmium and arsenic, so it is necessary for smokers and residents of large cities. It slows down the aging of tissues, including the skin, making it smooth and tight. It is also important for eye health. In menopausal women, it relieves attacks of hot and cold flashes. When used simultaneously with vitamin E and provitamin A (beta carotene), they mutually enhance their effect.
