Nigella Sativa goes by many names - Black Seeds, Black Cumin, and Kalonji. It is an annual flowering plant in the family of Ranunculaceae. This plant grows 20-30 cm tall with delicate flower and a few petals.

Its seeds taste like a combination of onions and black pepper, but in reality they are loaded with immense health benefits.

It has been discovered that black seeds have anti-cancer (tumor) properties. It doesn't just prevents or treat cancer, but in many cases totally destroys (apoptosis) the cancer cells.

While October is Cancer Awareness Month, let us concentrate on a natural cure for this deadly disease every month of the year.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women. And, it is continuously increasing on an alarming rate. It has been estimated that each year 246,660 women are diagnosed with cancer in the America alone, and over 40,000 out of them die.

I had pain in one of my breast for several months and I rubbed a generous amount on it for one week every night before I went to bed. The pain is gone!!! I feel so thankful for blackseed oil. I also rub on my feet when sore. "  Youtube Follower.

What Is Breast Cancer
 
Breast cancer is one of the most common invasive cancers in women. It affects 1 in 8 women all around the globe. It starts as cells in the breast which begin to grow out of control. They don't usually function like normal cells and invade other tissues as well. These cells often form a tumor which can be seen through x-rays.

The figures are high, and the incidence rates are expected to go higher too in the upcoming years. Experts believe that even today, every 2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer, and one woman dies because of this disease every 13 minutes.
 
There are lots of signs and symptoms of breast cancer. For example,

• Lump in the breast,
• Change in the breast shape,
• Fluid coming from nipples.
• Red scaly patch on the breast skin too

 
What Causes Breast Cancer?
 
The precise cause of breast cancer is unclear. In reality, doctors seldom know how one woman develops breast cancer and another doesn't. Therefore, it is tough for them to pinpoint one factor. The general understanding is it is always caused by damage to a cell's DNA. Plus, there are some risk factors too that increase the chances of it.
 
There is another concept that supports the cause of it - changes or mutations in DNA. These two things greatly increase the risk of it. Some patients inherit this disease from their parents also. The family DNA is also responsible in increasing the chances of it.
 
Researchers have also unveiled a link between breast cancer and hormones. According to them, women who have a greater exposure to hormone 'estrogen', they are more likely to encounter breast cancer. The estrogen hormone divide their cells and make them act in abnormal ways, which possibly become cancerous too.
 
Other than that, the chances of this disease rise at age 40. The more you grow older, the more you are at risk. In fact, women around 70 are most likely to diagnosed with it.
 
Breast Cancer Stages
 
The stage of the breast cancer depends on the TNM - Tumor Size (T), Lymph Node Status (N), and Metastases (M). Once a woman is diagnosed with it, doctor checks severity of it through TNM and try to figure how serious it is and what is the best method to treat it.
 
After confirming the level of cancer through TNM, doctors combine the information and find the actual stage of the cancer. This entire process is known as 'stage grouping'.

• In stage 0, there is no evidence of cancer cells. This stage describes the non invasive breast cancer cells, which aren't abnormal either or invading other tissues.

 

• In stage 1, the tumor is 2 centimeter. But, it means it hasn't spread to the lymph nodes or distant sites yet. This stage can be described as invasive breast cancer.

 

• In stage 2, the tumor is larger than 2 centimeter. And, unlike stage 1, it spreads also. It spreads to 1 to 3 axillary lymph nodes. Though, it still doesn't spreads to distant sites.

 

• In stage 3, cancer is often found in 4-9 axillary lymph nodes near the breast bone. Besides, in this stage, the tumor can be of any size too and spreads to the chest wall.

 

• In stage 4, the cancer can be of any size and it can be spread to distant organs too. It can spread to lungs, skin, bones, liver, or even brain. It is an 'advanced' form of cancer.​

 ​Natural Treatments for Breast Cancer
 
There are more than 450 natural cancer remedies available today.  Choosing the correct protocol will depend on budget, availability and faith in the author or doctor in charge.  Some protocols are expensive and may be out of your budget, but there are many protocols including the dirt cheap ones on Cancertutor.com. 

Your goals in choosing the right protocol are:

• Getting rid of the cancer cells as much as it's possible and safe.
• Preventing the disease from coming back. (tumor reseeding)

 
It is always recommended to be diagnosed by a professional physician first to see positively you have cancer and which type as some breast cancers are very aggressive.  Next, the physician will analyze the size of the tumor and tell you the stage the cancer is in (checks to see if the cancer has spread to major organs). 

Once he confirms these thing, he checks which treatment option can hand you the best and the quickest results.  He will always recommend chemotherapy and always tell you that you will die without him.  At this point, pay your bill and go look for a natural remedy that will save your life.

Nigella Sativa And Breast Cancer
 
The breast cancer cell line is known as MCF-7. In a study, it has been proven that the extracts of Nigella Sativa, aqueous and alcoholic extracts, with the combination of H2O2 are effective against MCF-7 cells. These extracts inactivate the MCF-7 cells and affect their survivability. That's why, Nigella Sativa provides a promising treatment for breast cancer.
 
In another study, the survivability of MCF-7 cells was measured. The MCF-7 cells were exposed to the aqueous and alcoholic extracts of Nigella Sativa. Results revealed that the extracts alone, without any combination or concentration, are effective against this disease.
 
A Nigella Sativa compound, Thymoquinone (TQ), which is usually isolated from its oil, has also been investigated against breast cancer. Scientists carefully assessed the cell responses after TQ treatment. They discovered that the Thymoquinone is an anti-tumor compound. It possesses anti-neoplastic activity against multifarious tumors.
 
Furthermore, the Thymoquinone (TQ) mechanism of action also leads to apoptosis in cancer cells. Apoptosis is a programmed cell death program. The death of the cancer, injured, or damaged cell occurs as a normal and controlled part of an organism's development.
 
In addition, a well researched study from professional scientists proved that TQ induces p38 phosphorylation and ROS production in breast cancer cells too. These inductions by Thymoquinone are indeed responsible for its anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effect. They prevent the spreads of the cell, especially cancerous and malignant cells, into surrounding tissues. That's why, it is famous as one of the most important compounds against cancer.
 
There is another extract of Nigella Sativa, supercritical-CO2. It also possesses anti-cancer activity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Though, it's a quite recent study, but the results revealed that the supercritical-CO2 extract of Nigella Sativa can be used to treat breast cancer. Just like Thymoquinone (TQ) compound, it also owns anti-proliferative activity.

Concluding Thoughts

All in all, Nigella Sativa shows promising signs in treating breast cancer. It doesn't matter in which stage you are struggling, its TQ compound and different extract like supercritical-CO2, aqueous, and other alcoholic extracts, create a mechanism which treats breast cancer effectively. Even Ibn-Sina (428 Hijri) knew

Nigella Sativa's anti-tumor activity and used it against tumor treatments. In the modern times too, number of studies have done by the professional researchers who also support its effectiveness against different kinds of cancer.
