How to Prevent Leukemia Naturally and Effectively, PubMed Medical Studies Revealings

Adding a portion of carrots in your daily diet may have a profound and positive effect in preventing the onset of leukemia, some scientists suggested.

Leukemia is progressive cancer characterized by bone marrow and other blood-forming organs in produced increased numbers of immature or abnormal leukocytes, thus suppressing the production of normal blood cells.

Leukemia is of the major cause of anemia.

The results of differentiation were conducted by several respectable universities, including Lebanese American University and Sheffield Hallam University and published on online medical literature, including Medline.

Carrot, a root vegetable with orange color is a sub species of Daucus carota, belongings to the family Apiaceae, native to Asian and Europe.

In the evaluation of the effect of Daucus carota oil extract (DCOE) in target acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines, researchers at the Lebanese American University found that application of carrot extract exerts a significant activity in inhibited all the AML cell lines while expressing no effect in tested peripheral mononuclear cells.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) are blood cells with round nuclei formed an important part of immune system components, including lymphocytes (T cells, B cells, and NK cells) and monocytes. The mononuclear cells are commonly used in research on immune disorders, cancer, and viral diseases.......

The inhibition of AML cell death observed by annexin-V found that application of carrot oil extract restored the viability of healthy cells found in the acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines but induces apoptotic cell death in AML through cytotoxicity


Dr. Tawil M, the lead scientist said, "DCOE induces selective apoptosis in AML cells, possibly through a MAPK-dependent mechanism".

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are family of serine/threonine protein kinases with strong effect in regulated cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, motility, stress response, apoptosis, and survival.


In further confirmation of the carrot effect in inhibited leukemia, five fractions from carrot juice extract (CJE) were tested on human lymphoid leukemia cell lines, including 3 polyacetylenes (falcarinol, falcarindiol and falcarindiol-3-acetate) and 2 carotenoids (beta-carotene and lutein).


According to the Annexin V/PI and Caspase 3 activity assays and Cell Titer Glo assay and cell cycle analysis,
* Injection of carrot extracts that contained polyacetylenes and carotenoids was significantly more cytotoxic in all three lymphoid leukemia cell lines than the 4 other fractions.

* Treatments with purified polyacetylenes also induced apoptosis in a dose and time responsive manner.

* Falcarinol and falcarindiol-3-acetate isolated from Daucus carota L were more cytotoxic in compared to falcarindiol

* Interestingly, the carotenoids treatment showed no significant effect on either apoptosis or proliferation in any of the tested cell lines.

These results suggested that carrot processed anti-leukemia through induction of cell apoptosis via cytotoxicity and cell cycle arrest was attributed to the contents of polyacetylenes rather than beta-carotene or lutein.

Additionally, in the study of carrot juice extract effect against leukemia cells, researchers at the Sheffield Hallam University found that on myeloid and lymphoid leukemia cell lines together with normal hematopoietic stem cells, injection of carrot juice extracts to 72 hours induces apoptosis and inhibited progression through the cell cycle.


In the classification of types of the cell line, also indicated that lymphoid cell lines are affected to a greater extent compared to myeloid cell lines. The application of the extract showed no effect on normal hematopoietic stem cells.


The experiment strongly suggested that carrot juice extract significantly induces apoptosis and causes cell cycle arrest in leukemia cell lines without harming the healthy nearby cells.


Taken together, carrot and its extract may be considered as potent and therapeutic therapies for the prevention of leukemia.

However, intake of carrot supplements should be taken with extreme care in the prevention of acute liver toxicity.
