Shark Cartilage
Shark cartilage is another one of those naturopathic supplements that has several diverse benefits. It is used extensively for the prevention and treatment of arthritis and joint disorders in both humans and animals. It is a rich source of collagen and glycosaminoglycans, which the body effectively uses to rebuild damaged joints and connective tissue. This combination makes shark cartilage a powerful anti-inflammatory wound-healing agent that is non-toxic and has no known side effects. Improvement may take time, though noticeable improvement is usually seen after four weeks, with a noticeable decrease of swelling and pain. Anti-inflammatory drugs may mask symptoms for a short time, but natural nutritional support is believed to help the body actually heal and repair itself.
Shark cartilage is also a source of mucopolysaccharides, which help stimulate the immune system. It is also a rich source of calcium and phosphorus. Shark cartilage is an effective substance against bacteria, virus and fungal infections. Shark cartilage is believed to stimulate the cellular and humoral components of the immune system.
Shark cartilage has also been observed to have a suppressive effect on the growth of cancerous tumors by inhibiting the growth of blood vessels needed to feed the tumor. There have been numerous studies demonstrating that shark cartilage shrinks some cancerous tumors, including those unaffected by standard treatments. To grow, a tumor must establish its own blood vessel network for nourishment. Like all other living things, if the tumor is denied nourishment it will die.
Studies performed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have shown that Shark cartilage contains a protein that impedes the formation of blood vessels to tumors.
