Why Treat Equine Sarcoid with Bloodroot?
Ever wondered why bloodroot is used to treat equine sarcoid?
And what makes Equi-Sarc stand out from other products? Let's dive in!
Why Bloodroot?
Bloodroot extract, derived from the plant Sanguinaria canadensis, has powerful cytotoxic and immune-boosting effects. The main component, sanguinarine, targets cancer cells when applied topically. However, many products on the market pair bloodroot with zinc chloride, a caustic substance that can cause severe irritation. This method aims to provoke the immune system to attack the tumor, but if it doesn't work, the sarcoid can grow rapidly and even cause tissue damage.
What Makes Equi-Sarc Different?
Equi-Sarc contains bloodroot but without the harsh zinc chloride. Instead, it combines other potent natural ingredients to kill the tumor and boost the immune system without causing severe inflammation. Let's explore these ingredients and their benefits:
Turmeric
- Suppresses key proteins in cell proliferation
- Activates caspases, triggering programmed cell death in tumor cells
- Upregulates important tumor suppressor genes
- Reduces the formation of new blood vessels that supply tumors
Frankincense
- Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that reduce cancer-related inflammation and oxidative stress
- Induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) by activating caspases
Lemon Balm
- Neutralizes free radicals
- Reduces redness and swelling associated with skin inflammation
- Blocks viral receptors, preventing viruses from attaching to and entering host cells
- Interferes with viral protein synthesis and ribosomal activity, hindering viral replication
Green Tea
- Neutralizes harmful free radicals and reduces oxidative stress
- Inhibits enzymes crucial for cancer cell growth and spread
Red Ginseng
- Contains ginsenosides with anticancer effects
- Enhances both innate and adaptive immunity
- Inhibits viral attachment and entry into host cells, interferes with viral replication, and blocks viral protein synthesis
Propolis
- Arrests cancer cell cycle progression
- Reduces cancer cell invasion and metastasis
- Affects multiple cancer-related signaling pathways
Thuja
- Thuja helps combat the viruses that cause sarcoids, such as the Bovine Papilloma Virus (BPV) and Equine Papilloma Virus.
- Supports the horse's immune system
- Effective in conditions where there is an overgrowth of tissue
