IP6 also known as Inositol Hexaphosphate is the latest weapon in the natural supplement arsenal to
fight cancer and strengthen the immune system. IP6 is derived from fiber found in legumes, beans, and rice. IP6 contains a more concentrated version of this fiber than what can be normally consumed by eating these foods regularly. The result of consuming IP6 is the stimulation of the body’s natural killer cells and the build-up of the body’s immune defense system.

IP6 contains powerful antioxidants that neutralize free radicals that may disrupt normal cell division and repair activities. When taken as directed, one may see a marked reduction in the frequency of colds and flus. Infections seem to clear up without the use of antibiotics or other prescription medications. There are no known negative side effects from taking high doses of the all-natural supplement and no known negative drug interaction.

More serious diseases such as cancer and heart disease have been treated naturally using IP6 with positive results. Cancer cells rely on iron for growth and maintenance which is why anti-cancer drugs seek to eliminate the absorption of iron into cells. These drugs eliminate iron from all cells. Even the healthy cells are affected.

IP6 enhances the immune system and selectively targets the abnormal cancerous cells for exclusion of iron; this leaves the healthy cells to flourish. IP6 also causes cell death in the cancer cells. It does not simply cut off the food supply of the cancer cells, but it attacks them directly. The research was conducted on animals and humans with liver, breast, and prostate cancers. The same positive results applied. IP6 attacks cancerous cells effectively, safely, and cheaply.

Discovery of IP6 potent effects on diseases was credited to research scientists in Japan. Since their discovery, extensive research has been conducted by the science and medical research community to verify efficacy and attempt to disprove the claimed results. However, the results remain rock solid that the supplement works.

Many challenges are still faced by the manufacturers of the supplement despite the positive research results. The supplement is naturally derived and depends on a pure food source to be manufactured to the quality standards that ensure the effectiveness of the product.

Genetic modification of the food supply threatens to eliminate the naturally occurring IP6 in rice and other plants. IP6 is natural, inexpensive, and can’t be classified as a drug so by default it is a potential target for elimination by the big pharmaceutical companies. The survival of these natural remedies depends upon the public’s awareness of their benefits and vocal desire to see them thrive.
