GOD Provides HERBS For FOOD: Fresh LEMON GRASS Drinks help cure CANCER
79GOD Provides HERBS for FOOD
In the creation of the universe, God had provided every thing necessary for the survival of mankind, including herbs. And God said,"Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be meat" (Genesis 1:29).
In verse 30, God continues: "And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, where in there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so."
God specified in Genesis 1:29 that herb bearing seed is upon the face of all the earth. God had spread the herb bearing seed throughout the whole universe and not confined to any specific spot so that all the people can share the goodness of the herbs. In the course of time, man learns to barter for the things that he needs, and that is the start of commerce.
Man is commanded to eat the herb of the field (Genesis 3:18). To all animals, every fowl of the air and every creeping creature, the herb is food for meat. Biblically, the Israelites tithed their herbs (Luke 11:42). The Pharisees tithed mint, rue and all manner of herbs according to Luke. It is also said that those who are weak eat herbs.
Biblically, the Israelites tithed their herbs (Luke 11:42). The Pharisees tithed mint, rue and all manner of herbs according to Luke.
MAN ALLOWED TO EAT MEAT AFTER THE FLOOD
After the Great Flood God allowed man to eat meat but with restrictions.
"Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs. But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood" (Gen. 9:3-4 ).
ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE
More and more people are turning to alternative medicine to cure diseases. Use of herbs to help alleviate suffering is fairly common.
The word "herb" means "A plant producing shoots of only annual duration, herbage, grass and other green food for cattle; a plant having medicinal, cullinary or aromatic properties."
Sometimes the leaves of the plant are used, while in other times, the root, leaves, bark, hulls, flowers, fruit, root tubers, berry, grass, or husk are used.
WHAT IS LEMON GRASS?
Lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus), a native of India, is widely used in Thai and Vietnamese cooking. Lemon grass is a perennial, which means once you plant it, the grass comes back year after year. Depending on the area you live in the plant will go dormant in the winter. In harsh climates the plant will need to be potted and wintered indoors. This aromatic herb is used in Caribbean and many types of Asian cooking and has become very popular in the United States. Most of the commercial crops for the United States are grown in California and Florida. Lemon grass is also used for medicinal purposes.
WHERE YOU CAN GET LEMON GRASS?
At the supermarket - Chinese, English, Italian, Vietnamese, Indian
They are sold in bundles of 6, 8 or more stalks and costs just a few dollars.

Fresh Lemon Grass Drink Causes Apoptosis to Cancer Cells
Apoptosis - noun: a type of cell death in which the cell uses specialized cellular machinery to kill itself; a cell suicide mechanism that enables metazoans to control cell number and eliminate cells that threaten the animal's survival.
Fresh lemon grass fields in Israel become Mecca for cancer patients
A drink with as little as one gram of lemon grass contains enough citral to prompt cancer cells to commit suicide in the test tube. Israeli researchers find way to make cancer cells self-destruct - Ben Gurion University
At first, Benny Zabidov, an Israeli agriculturalist who grows greenhouses full of lush spices on a pastoral farm in Kfar Yedidya in the Sharon region, couldn't understand why so many cancer patients from around the country were showing up on his doorstep asking for fresh lemon grass. It turned out that their doctors had sent them. 'They had been told to drink eight glasses of hot water with fresh lemon grass steeped in it on the days that they went for their radiation and chemotherapy treatments,' Zabidov told ISRAEL21c. 'And this is the place you go to in Israel for fresh lemon grass.'
It all began when researchers at Ben Gurion University of the Negev discovered last year that the lemon aroma in herbs like lemon grass kills cancer cells in vitro, while leaving healthy cells unharmed. The research team was led by Dr. Rivka Ofir and Prof. Yakov Weinstein, incumbent of the Albert Katz Chair in Cell-Differentiation and Malignant Diseases, from the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at BGU.
Citral is the key component that gives the lemony aroma and taste in several herbal plants such as lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus), melissa (Melissa officinalis) and verbena (Verbena officinalis).
According to Ofir, the study found that citral causes cancer cells to 'commit suicide: using apoptosis, a mechanism called programmed cell death.' A drink with as little as one gram of lemon grass contains enough citral to prompt the cancer cells to commit suicide in the test tube.
The BGU investigators checked the influence of the citral on cancerous cells by adding them to both cancerous cells and normal cells that were grown in a petri dish. The quantity added in the concentrate was equivalent to the amount contained in a cup of regular tea using one gram of lemon herbs in hot water. While the citral killed the cancerous cells, the normal cells remained unharmed.
The findings were published in the scientific journal Planta Medica, which highlights research on alternative and herbal remedies. Shortly afterwards, the discovery was featured in the popular Israeli press.
Science is making progress in helping to eliminate diseases but there are yet many hurdles to overcome. Discoveries are made sometimes through fluke shots. No matter how clever and intelligent man is, he still finds himself at a loss over a great many things. A fair amount of new discoveries has been made by science in the use of herbs as vital to man's health. From the first book of Genesis, we are already told that every herb bearing seed shall be meat to us, "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be meat " (Genesis 1:29).
Maybe man should heed God's words and let herbs be our meat. God is very fair in the distribution of herbs through the face of all the earth. No country seems to be without its herbs. Praise and thank the Lord for His fairness and righeousness in dealing with His children throughout the universe. It seems that vegetarians have a point here that they could survive on fruits, vegetables and grains of seed. Man in the Old Testament lived longer, for example, Adam lived nine hundred and thirty years (930 years) (Genesis 5:5) while Methuselah lived nine hundred sixty and nine years (969 years) (Genesis 5:27)
MEAT ALLOWED AFTER THE FLOOD
LIFE SHORTENED
After the great flood, man was allowed to eat meat with restrictions, and that is meat without blood: "Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat" (Genesis 9:3-4).
David lived only 70 years and was considered to have "died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour:" (1 Chronicles 29:28). Psalms 90:10 tells us, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away."
In the future, there is very much hope that herbs will lead man to discover many more cures for the ills of mankind. God had at the very beginning of creation of the universe indicated that herbs would be meat for mankind. Heed the words of God or face the consequence!

thank you for this informative hub. lemon grass is quite abundant in our country and is used mainly for certain dishes. it's great to discover its healing value. again my gratitude. Godbless:)
Praise God, see this is what I really like!! Alternatives!!!!!!! I am going to get me some lemon grass! Thanks einron!!! You made my day again!!!! lol
God or not, but natural diet definitely makes wonders, and the sooner people realize they should not intake chemicals, no matter how beneficial it might seem, the better :)
Einron--great hub. I love lemongrass--now I can feel much happier about it. I think I'll go buy some right now.
Dearest einron - thanks for sharing this info about lemon grass - and thanks for writing me about it. I will pick up some on the way home tomorrow. I'm a tea drinker anyway but I like the medicinal value of this.
Thanks again!
I know God had a purpose for everything that He made. I really enjoy taking the natural way myself when possible.
Lemongrass to help cure cancer - fantastic! Very helpful hub with great info. You gave me yet another reason to enjoy herbs and spices in my food! It's most interesting how you tied the scripture people always read and may not fully realize the benefits with the every day practicality of what works. That's where science comes in as helpful to explain why these ancient words are so powerful!
Einron,
Did yo ur brother with prostate cancer had a cure/remission after taking lemon grass? How is he now?
Thanks.
Melly
I believe that God has a cure for everything with what He has created. Hezekieh lived for another 15 years after he was told to make a poultice of fig to wrap around his boils. Pretty amazing.
As for Lemon Grass, I am a fan of LG--I have them in my backyard as I cook often with lemon grass. Good and informative hub.
Are there any herbs used to cure Hepititis-C that you are aware of? Will the lemon grass and asparagus hekp with this disease/
Good hub and very in line with what I believe also... I have a similar hub called 'I don't want to die'.
Thanks for the lemon grass, we grow it but seldom use it, that will change!
I wonder if something changed from the flood. Water fell from the expanse in the sky for the first time possibly removing a protective layer causing people to age faster. From then on, people lived much shorter lives (with the protective layer removed exposing us to more radiation). Meat given soon after may have been to meet a new biological nutritional need because of the new atmosphere.
i believe there was a protective covering of the earth before the flood that when removed exposed us to radiation,reduced the oxygen content of the atmosphere and kept the magnetic field of the earth at an optimum.all of which were essential in the greater longevity of mankind and likely this caused all plants to be more nutritious.
I read all the articles and the comments from other on Lemon Grass, but could not find what exactly you can make the drink with Lemon Grass, I assum the you extract the juice from LG and mix with any drink, or just simply cook with LG? if anyone have any idea, please advise. Thank you very much.
Einron. I think your hub is well written, but am sorry to say that I cannot thank you for the contribution. I am currently in my second year of cancer treatment and my chances of survival are dropping like a stone. In that time, many well-meaning friends have suggested homeopathic cures. Garlic treatments were commonly suggested, all sorts of teas, and a very good friend linked this hub to me just today.
Being the scientific minded person I am, I tracked down the study. This is it, I believe. Planta Med. 2005 May;71(5):484-8. Links
Citral is a new inducer of caspase-3 in tumor cell lines.Dudai N, Weinstein Y, Krup M, Rabinski T, Ofir R.

The qoutation that citral causes cancer cells to cause suicide in their test-tubes you've correctly presented, but the study qoutation that "a drop of gasoline will kill cancer cells in a test tube too," is conspicuously absent from your hub.
The actual findings of the test were that "The apoptotic effect of citral depended on the alpha, beta-unsaturated aldehyde group." The difference between an alpha and beta-unsaturated aldehyde group is principally the acidity. Citral was dissolving cancer cells on direct contact, much as citric acid and other abrasives would. It has not been shown to have any effect in a metabolized state.
I respectfully submit a counterstudy:
Natl Toxicol Program Tech Rep Ser. 2003 Jan;(505):1-268. Links
NTP toxicology and carcinogenesiss studies of citral (microencapsulated) (CAS No. 5392-40-5) in F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice (feed studies).[No authors listed]
National Toxicology Program, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, USA
This study was designed to study the effects of citral consumption on mice, rats, and hamsters. First of all, it was found to be lethal in surprisingly low concentrations, though how that would equate to a full-grown human being is debatable. It was conclusively shown to cause malignant lymphoma when administered in low dosages to all female test subjects. Ovarian cancer in other words.
I am sorry if I sound harsh, and I know you mean well, but the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. I have known other cancer patients who believed such natural treatments would work and are now dead because they ignored conventional treatment methods. While the deceased are partly to blame, their blood is also firmly on the hands of those who gave life-changing advice without absolute authority over the subject. Perhaps you might consider placing a small warning at the bottom of your article for cancer patients to consult with their oncologist before trying such treatments?
YOU WROTE: Note the Dates of the Articles I quote as against yours.
RESPONSE: The findings of one study, unless explicitly stated, are not disproved or overwritten by the findings of later studies. I was trying to say that if you are a proponent of lemongrass, it is in the best interest of the reader and behooves you as a writer to explain what risks are involved along with the believed benefits. I was in effect asking you to take some responsibility by presenting both sides of the argument, or at the least a disclaimer, rather than copying and pasting slogans at me.
These three proofs you've presented are all second-hand references to your original study, not new ones. And I must say it's rather depressing to see people peddling "Citralife" or whatever they're calling it. Snake oil for the desperate.
The first study, as I tried to explain, was conducted in a laboratory setting on lymphomas in petri dishes. Citral causing apoptosis in direct contact with lymphoma cells does not necessarily mean that it will cause apoptosis in tissue cells within the human blood stream when citral is in a metabolized state. And since nothing in any of your studies explicitly states otherwise, the difference should be told for the reader's benefit.
YOU WROTE: Cancer patients in Israel are encouraged by their doctors to drink fresh lemongrass tea on the days they go in for radiation or chemotherapy treatments to help the healing process.
RESPONSE: And there was a time doctors sent people suffering from bronchial infections to the local tobbaconist. Common practice does not make said practice correct or the best strategy. Aside from that, after having been pumped full of poison and taken enough radiation to glow in the dark, I do not consider either to be a "healing process".
Healing is what comes after the body has been pushed to its absolute limits in the hope that the cancer will die before the host. And if this is the case, how is lemongrass anything more miraculous than another herbal supplement?
They can now.
Good day. God Bless you and keep you.
Thank you for informative hub - there are so many herbal remedies becoming proven to kill cancer cells. And much more investigation needs to continue this cycle. Besides that I literally am addicted to the scent of lemon grass essential oil - but I cannot use it on my skin as it breaks me out royally! Appreciate your research and sharing here!
Thanks for this brilliant hub about lemongrass - I have found so many other cultures on earth to use it regularly in their cuisine - but not in Western cooking. I'm so glad that now it can be found fairly easily in NYC in most supermarket.
Thanks for the photos and the many health benefits. All we need for good health has already been provided for us. But we have to prevent poor health - not destroy ourselves and then look for a magic cure. Prevention is key.
Rated up of course.
i can testify for Citralife lemongrass tea.I agree that it really helps cancer patient. from real testimony from my cancer friend, it was recommended from other cancer patient to drink lemongrass tea. after they did chemotherapy, instead of taking 10 days to recover to normal blood count(anc etc), it took only 3 days by drinking lemongrass. Those who did chemo, try first and measure your blood count don't just simply disagree. Anyway, citralife tea is so cheap like rm16 per pack only. try the fresh one also works but have to use 10 times more the equivalent weight of the dried citralife.. also works for arthritis, joint paint, frozen shoulder, eczema, water retention, itchy skin, piles, incontinence.. its just too good that God provide such a cheap solution for human being ..
Excellent article, I have too many words to try to express my thoughts. Suffice it to say, I agree 100%, and when I began to seek alternatives for a chronic illness, I began to find. I am a firm Believer that God designed this world to help take care of us, if we replenish it and use it as instructed. There is no true excuse for poverty, illness, poor crops, etc. It is all "curable". Our land can be healed--as well as mankind. Lemon Grass...another on my shopping list. I am especially thankful to Ann for adding the other benefits of LG.
Much gratitude!
~Blessings
Any one knows if there are Herbs that reduce fibriod growths or eve remove them out all together, thanks
yes, yoga ---dhanurasana has reduced fibroid growths. You have to do empty stomach. You can find this exercise on internet .
A very good piece on lemon grass and the fact that GOD put everything on earth for us to heal from. I am a firm believer in this.
Great Article! I am a Christian who believes that God gave us herbs to heal our bodies. God knew that after sin, we would have to deal with pain and sicknesses. That is why we gave us herbs to ease the effects of sin on our bodies. Sin as we know causes sickness. Another point, Apoptosis is a natural process that happens in our body, when our Immune and Endocrine systems are working properly. I discovered that the brain alerts the adrenal glands to secrete the special hormone that naturally induces apoptosis. In my case I developed Cancer because my immune system was suppressed for various reasons, and my endocrine system was out of whack. I refused conventional treatments and I am healing naturally with great results. The answer to cancer in my life is dealing with my Immune and Endocrine systems and get it working properly so that it can do its job. However I don't consider Cancer a disease, but a sign of an inefficient immune system. I am thankful to God to be here.
hello einron, it's good u have written on a herb we have @ the backyard of our house i.e Uganda(E.Africa). this herb is great in healing many ailments, but there is another thing it does that people are not aware; it keeps mosquitoes and snakes a way. Africans wake up and plant as many lemon grass around your houses as possible and prevent malaria the number one killer disease in Africa and snake bites. BELIEVE ME IT WORKS. God does miracles through small and easy things and man in his search only complicates things. Let us heed Gods ways or else we suffer. GOB Bless.
