Shark liver oil for cancer

Shark liver oil for cancer: the professor Akim Bouterra's advice, completed by what the research says (cancer, liver), the precautions to know, and our resources to go further.

Shark liver oil is effective for cancer, particularly brain cancer. The oil is extracted from different species of sharks, and contains a large amount of AKG (alkylglycerols), which play an important role in stimulating the immune system; it also contains squalene.

Furthermore, studies have been conducted on cancer patients, and it was found that the active compounds in shark liver oil reduced the mortality rate, as well as the damage caused by radiotherapy.

It is best to use shark liver oil in capsule form, and not to exceed the recommended dose. Indeed, due to its vitamin A content, it should not be overused.

What the science says: cancer, liver

What published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for context — these studies address material causes, while healing belongs to Allah.

Cancer: supporting without replacing

Diet plays a role in preventing several cancers according to an umbrella review of meta-analyses (Nat Commun, 2021); curcumin, black seed, and medicinal mushrooms are being studied as complements to treatment (Int J Mol Sci, 2024) (Molecules, 2023), and the Mediterranean diet supports patients. Precaution: no natural remedy replaces cancer treatment; certain plants and high-dose antioxidants can interfere with chemotherapy — any course should be decided with the oncologist. The Sagesse au Naturel practice offers complementary cancer follow-up.

The liver

Silymarin from milk thistle improves liver markers in fatty liver disease and various liver conditions according to meta-analyses (Ann Hepatol, 2024) (World J Gastroenterol, 2017); the Mediterranean diet (olive oil, vegetables, fish) reduces liver fat (Clin Nutr, 2022). Artichoke, black radish, rosemary, and dandelion are the traditional detoxifiers; fasting gives the liver a rest. Precaution: viral hepatitis or cirrhosis must be followed with a specialist; certain plants are hepatotoxic (comfrey, celandine, kava) — do not improvise.
