Imagine being locked in a room for a month while high-dose chemotherapy drugs are dripped into your body from several IVs. Your hair is gone, eliminated from previous rounds of chemotherapy. Every hour you get sicker: vomiting, diarrhea, which you have to perform on a tiny commode so the doctors can check its contents, tremendous headches, and the painful, churning feeling in your bones as the chemotherapy destroys your marrow. After your marrow is destroyed the nurses will attach a bag of clean marrow to an IV and drip it into you to recreate your immunessystem. If nothing goes wrong, like a failure of these cells to engraft properly, you’ll be out in four weeks, hopefully cancer free Or you may catch a cold from a visitor and die of pneumonia.

The medicinal qualities of pineapple are recognized in many traditions in South America, China and Southeast Asia. These qualities are attributed to bromelain, a 95%-mixture of proteases. Medicinal qualities include anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic, fibrinolytic and anti-cancer functions. Existing evidence derived from clinical observations as well as from mouse- and cell-based models suggests that bromelain acts systemically, affecting multiple cellular and molecular targets. For the past years an ample of studies has been performed demonstrating that bromelain has the capacity to modulate the pathways playing important roles in malignancy establishment and progression. It is now possible suggest that anti-cancer activity of bromelain consists in the direct impact on cancer cells and their microenvironment, as well as in the modulation of immune, inflammatory and haemostatic systems.
