Cancer drug history in Islamic Medicine

Indeed, cancer is not a new disease. In the golden era of Islamic civilization, the Muslim doctor was able to diagnose and treat cancer. Not only that, Muslim doctors, like Ibn Sina and al-Beitar also have found a cure for the deadly disease.

Is al-Beitar, a Muslim scientist of the 12th century AD who managed to find herbs to treat cancer clicking named Hindiba. Hindiba herb found al-Beitar contains anticancer substances can also cure the tumor and neoplastic disorders-disorders.Head of the Department of History and Ethics, University of Istanbul, Turkey, Prof. Nil Sari in his Hindiba: A Drug for Cancer Treatment in Muslim Heritage, has proven efficacy and truth herbs Hindiba found al-Beitar it. He and a number of other doctors have tested scientifically and even has patented Hindiba found al-Beitar.

According to Prof. Nil Sari, Hindiba known healers (pharmacologis) Muslim, and herbalist in the Islamic world. Muslims have been using herbs to cure cancer long before a doctor in the Western world to find it, said Prof. Nil Sari.

After a test scientifically, Prof. Nil Sari concluded that, Hindiba has the power to treat various diseases. Hindiba can clear away the obstacles contained in tiny channels in the body, especially in the digestive system. But the domain of the most spectacular is its power to cure the tumor said.

To track the efficacy and herb Hindiba, Prof. Nil Sari was doing research on the literature of past treatment. He tracked down two Muslim scientists masterpiece, namely Ibn Sina through the Canon of Medicine as well as plant encyclopedia written al-Beitar.

When we look at the old text more closely, we see the truth that we know very little about herbs (herbs) in the past, he said. In the text of the relics of the glory of Islam explained that Hindiba and various types of other herbal divided into two main groups, namely processed herbs and herbal unpasteurized.

According to ancient medical texts, the efficacy of cancer treatment Hindiba treatment based on theoretical considerations, the effects of medical drugs operating in accordance with the nature of the constituents. According to Prof. Nil, constituents resulting from the decomposition would have the effect of so-called energy. Potential quality hot and cold in the nature of the medicine will come out as a result of the decomposition of the body.

The active component of natural components that heat will soon react. Will spread through the network effectively. Constituents constituents react before the summer cool and clear away the obstacles in a small saluransaluran on the body and accelerate the spread of cold constituents. Then, the cold element came and began to work to perform its functions.

In the Arabic-language medical treatise, relics of the golden era of Islam, it is mentioned that all kinds of swelling such as warts or bumps have caused disturbances in the channel. While cancer is described as a hard mass. Identified as a hard swelling, cancer develops from small then be a big plus with pain.

Citing records Avicenna in the Canon of Medicine, Prof. Nil Sari revealed a tumor or cancerous, when on leave will be growing in size. So that the cancer will spread and damage. Its roots can infiltrate between network elements of the body. Prof. Nil Sari find a similar picture of the treatment of cancer in manuscripts in Ottoman era.

According to Ibn Sina, the tumor is classified into two, namely hot and cold tumor. Tumor-colored and feels warm to the touch usually called hot tumor, while the tumor is colorless and feel warm cold called a tumor. Ibn Sina mention cancer as a form of tumor that sits between tumor cold.

Efficacy Hindiba Prof. Prof. Nil Sari studied by presenting in-depth data about the theoretical background in vivo and in vitro experiments with herbal extracts of Turkey. He started from the philosophy of the Ottoman Empire, which is rooted in Islamic medicine. In this work, it was mentioned that the drug chicory Crocus sativus L and L is identified as an alternative crop are identical to each other which is the active component for the treatment of cancer.

Prof. Nil Sari and his colleague Dr Hanzade Dogan mixing C intybus L and turmeric (saffron) of Safranbolu, as described text prolonged treatment. Even more interesting are the results of our laboratory studies pointing out that of the extract of C intybus L were found to be most active in colon cancer, said Prof. Nil Sari.

According to him, Hindiba proven to be very effective in treating cancer. Unfortunately, he said, in ancient times, Hindiba more recommended as a drug for the treatment of tumors. It was revealed in the book of Ibn al-Beitar. According to al-Beitar, if the herb Hindiba heated, and the foam was taken and filtered and then drink will be beneficial to cure the tumor.

Specialist treatment in the era of the Ottoman Empire, Mehmed Mumin, mengung express that Hindiba can either treat tumors in internal organs. However, more often recommended for the treatment of tumors in the throat. If wood ma nis in the mix in the juice Hindiba (Khu sus treated well) can be used un tuk kumurkumur medicine and also for the benefit ber tumor treatment, pain and sore throat.
