A member asked:
Is there any evidence that ginger can help some cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In animals yes: Many plant substances have some anticancer properties. Ginger has been shown to have anti inflammatory capabilities and can subdue cancer growth by apoptosis (cell death) and autophagy ( self destruction) but has really been demonstrated in animals receiving human tumor transplants.
