It grows in rainforest in the North Queensland region of Australia.Blushwood is a rare type of fruit that destroys cancer.
Glenn Boyle told The Guardian newspaper: "nowadays cancer patients are usually treated with chemotherapy. There are also people who cannot be implemented. Maybe EBC-46 can help these people. For example, chemotherapy in the elderly who can not remove drugs can be tried,” he said.
Scientists have spent years trying to find drugs to treat cancer. We hope that every day there will be positive developments for this treatment.
Expert people have come across a rare species of fruit that grows only in rainforests in Australia's North Queensland region. This fruit grows on a tree called' Blushwood'. Scientists have managed to destroy cancer tumours with the enzyme they take from the fruit. The drug, which is currently in the testing phase, was called 'EBC 46'.
Dr. Berghofer Medical Research Center, Coordinator of the project. Glen Boyle described EBC-46 as follows: “in our Preclinic trials, we injected the drug into our subjects. Within five minutes, bruising was seen in the injected area. Within 24 hours, the area where the tumour was located had become completely black. A few days later, a shell formed in the area. Within 1.5 weeks, the shell spontaneously fell and the tumor disappeared.”
Berghofer's website says the EBC-46 was tested in mice, cats and horses, resulting in successful results. The drug is injected directly into the tumor, and a few days later the tumor disappears.
In laboratory tests, which were tried only in animals, successful results were obtained in 70% of the animals with tumors subjected to the experiment and the tumors were destroyed.
For various reasons the drug has not yet been tried in humans. If successful results are obtained from EBC-46 in clinical trials on humans, it is envisaged that the cancer could be completely destroyed in the future.
