Next topic for discussion:  Granthi and Arbud # according to Ayurveda and wrf cancer.
Croatia Branko Markovic:
Granthi (hard, small, benign tumors)
These tumors are caused by excesses of any of the doßhas. If they occur in the muscle tissues, they are large swellings. If they occur in the fat (medas), they are painless, oily, and movable. If surrounded by bleed vessels, they pulsate. Granthi is categorized to be of 9 kinds by Vagbhata. There is one caused by each dosha, and six categorized by the tissue that is vitiated. These tissues are: rakta, mamsa, medas, asthi, sira (vein) and Vrana (ulcer). Other authors have added additional types such as nadi dhatuja, lasika granthi, lasika vahini, and tilaja.
Vataja granthi presents with a visible tumor that is black or dark in color and is not fixed. It is able to move from place to place if pushed. Its size may fluctuate. It tends to be soft and, if pricked, exudes a clear, thin fluid.
Pittaja granthi present with burning over the tumor. The tumor or the region surrounding it will be yellow or red in color. The tumor suppurates quickly and easily and exudes a warm blood when pricked.
Kaphaja granthi presents as a painless, hard tumor whose color is pale. The area around the tumor is cool and itches. The tumor suppurates slowly and, if pricked, exudes thick, white, cloudy pus.
Raktaja granthi presents with symptoms similar to pitta and a loss of tactile sensation. This is believed to be causes by an infestation of parasitic worms.
Mamsaja granthi presents essentially as a myoma, or benign tumor of the muscle. Closely related are myxomas, which are tumors of the connective tissues called snayuaja granthi in Ayurveda. These are large, hard tumors which are moist or oily and tend to be very vascular. They ulcerate and bleed easily and often become malignant. These tumors are associated with meat consumption.
Medaja granthi presents similar to a lipoma, or fatty tumor. These often occur on the back, neck, shoulders, and wrists. They are caused by either the intake of too much fat or faulty fat metabolism. With kapha at the root of these tumors, they present as being soft. Vata contributes to the condition, causing the tumors to also have a movable nature. When they ulcerate, they exude a copper, black, or white fatty fluid. There may be itching with this type of tumor as well but no pain.
Asthi granthi presents similar to an osteoma and also as bone spurs. They often occur secondarily to fractures and boney stress. These tumors appear as hard growths within the bone.
Sira granthi are vascular tumors, such as angiomas. While they may be benign, many become malignant. They are stated to follow the sudden exposure to cold water on the feet. Sira granthi are painless and they do not pulsate.
Vrana granthi refers to tumors which form of the dried blood surrounding a wound or ulcer. Vrana means ulcer.
Nadi dhatuja granthi refers to benign tumors of nerve origin such as neuromas and neurofibromas (schwann cell tumors). These present as masses within nerve tissue.
Lasika granthi refers to lymphadenomas. This is a general term for any tumor of the lymph glands. These may become malignant. Lasika vahani refers to lymphangiomas. These are masses of anomalous lymph vessels that are present at birth.
Tilaja granthi refers to skin cancer. Though categorized as a type of granthi, it should be listed as a type of arbuda as these are malignant cancers.
Arbuda (malignant tumors)
There are six kinds of malignancies. They are vataja, pittaja, kaphaja, raktaja, mamsaja, and medaja. Sarcomas are considered a type of mamsaja arbuda.

**********************************************

Shahil H Bhavsar: Granthi are benign and arbuda are malignant (cancerous)
Croatia Branko Markovic: Pippali Vardhaman Rasayan can help in cases of: Hodgkin's lymphoma, Leukemia, brast CA, Adenocarcinoma, Sarcoma.
Vd Anirudhdha Mohite: Panchagavya ghruta internally and basti are also helpful. If possible if patient is kept on dugdhaaahar gives good results
Croatia Branko Markovic: Along with Nityananda ras or Cruel capsules. During course of chemo and radio therapy to subside effects we proscribed: guduchi, triphala, yashtimadhu, prawal panchamrut / Kama dudha sadha. Response from patients wore very good. Majority of cancer patients are trying to die..they don’t care anymore abt life..so cause should be looked at not being happy with them self like depression, fears, not seeing purpose in life, not heaving support etc. lot of them come just bcz family said they should go on some sort of healing. So complexity of cancer is really big..Here in the west dr who are curing cancer they advise: first step to move diary, meat, all food which is processed. High doses of vitamin C, raw food diet. Or just being of fresh drained juices for 5-7-10 days. Ozone therapy. Other get good results with hemp oil: CBD / THC. Langana seams to be main in their approach.so, main point from them is acidity and leck of prana. There is some quite number of people who got cured by canabis indeed.
Dr. Shantanandkumar: Cap cytocruel BD, Varunadi kashay, Kanchanaru Guggulu  Having Good result. In Granti and karkat arbud.
Shahil H Bhavsar: Na pakamayanti kaphadhikatvat medo bahutwach vishestu-su.ni.11/21 It means due to dominance of kapha and meda and stability of doshas arbuda don't get paka(suppuration)
Vd. Pankaj Chhayani: While describing various types of Shotha, Charaka has considered all swellings under one term "Shotha."So Granthi is also one type of Shotha. I treated one child having Lasika Granthi(lymph node swelling) . I suggested for local application of paste of Garlic and Custard. Its too much Ushna-Tikshna. After 2 days of application, child could not bear
Vd. Hardik bhatt: Gomutr is also very useful for granthi and arbud..
Vd Jigar Narsana: Suvaran bhasma yukt preparation is also useful
Vd. Pritam Bharat Veer: Granthi (Benign Tumors) Types: Granthi is categorized to be of 9 kinds by Vagbhata. There is one caused by each dosha, and six categorized by the tissue that is vitiated. These tissues are: rakta, mamsa, medas, asthi, sira (vein) and Vrana (ulcer). Other authors have added additional types such as nadi dhatuja, lasika granthi, lasika vahini, and tilaja.
Samprapti: Kapha plays the predominant role as it enters the affected dhatus. The most common dhatus affected are medas, mamsa, and rakta. The result is slow growing cancer of a benign nature.

Sadhyasyata (Prognosis): Ayurvedic prognosis depends on factors such as the relationship of the condition to the patient’s constitution, age, and the season the condition occurs within. Those arising from the three doshas, rakta and medas, are curable and consider easier to treat. Those that are large, hard, and located on marmas along with those occurring in or on the throat and abdomen are said to be incurable.
Granthi Chikitsa:  According to Vagbhata, benign tumors that have not suppurated are treated in a manner similar to swelling. In addition, purification therapies should be applied following proper oleation. When purification is complete, a penetrating paste can be applied to the tumor.
One simple suggested paste is that of turmeric, manjistha, and mung dal. The area is then fomentated and squeezed gently as the tumor ripens. This procedure is repeated over and over. The goal is to draw the tumor out. This treatment is true for tumors of all three doshas, but most especially those of vata nature. Due to the application of heat and paste, the tumor should ripen and allow itself to be squeezed. If this does not occur, the tumor should be removed by surgical means. It was well known that if the entire tumor was not removed, it would surely grow back again. In the case of pitta granthi, it is recommended to apply leeches to the tumor and heat is avoided or minimized. The open wound should be washed with cool infusions of herbs and allowed to heal.
Arbuda Chikitsa
The classical management of Arbuda (malignancy) is considered to be similar to the management of granthi (benign tumors) in so much as the treatment noted under granthi is applied first. In addition, poultices are prepared with specific herbs, spices and oils and applied to the tumor. Herbs are chosen which pacify the affected dosha. This is then followed by localized steam therapy such as nadi swedana. Specific formulations for each poultice are provided in Chakradatta and other classical texts.
 According to Sushruta, vataja arbuda chikitsa responds to a simple poultice prepared with boiled fatty meat and spices. Pitta arbuda chikitsa requires milder fomentation and purgation in addition to the other therapies while kapha arbuda chikitsa requires both Vamana and Virechana be performed. Medaja Arbuda (fatty malignancy) is first fomentated and then the surgically opened. According to Sushruta, the wound is then thoroughly cleansed, sutured, and plastered with healing herbs.
Conclusion: Ancient knowledge provides important clues for the modern practitioner who desires to provide their patient with the best possible care. In this modern age, cancer remains a primary threat to society and Western medicine offers little in the way of conventional treatment for many types of cancer. Thus, we must look for answers in the timeless sciences steeped in the knowledge, lore, and wisdom of Nature herself. There lay treasures waiting to be rediscovered that may one day bring an end to suffering.
 Vd. Pritam Bharat Veer: Ayurvedic Terminology and the Field of Cancer
Cancer has been understood to exist for thousands of years. While cancer is more prevalent today in part because people live to a greater age than in the past, Cancers have always occurred. Healers since the beginning of time have tried to understand the condition and manage those who have been suffering.
Classical Ayurvedic texts have several references to cancer. Some terms used to describe the condition are general, while others are much more specific. Practitioners should familiarize themselves with common terminology so that they can benefit from historical knowledge as well understand information that is published in India. The following terminology describes the most basic concepts.
Gulma is a term used to describe any palpable, hard mass in the abdomen. This does not mean that gulma is cancer but rather any hard, tumor like mass in the abdominal region.
Granthi is a term for a tumor, lump, or nodule that is visible from the surface. These tumors often open up on the surface of the skin as an ulcer (vrana). Granthi may be benign or malignant; however the term is most often used to describe benign tumors.
Arbuda is the most specific term for a cancerous malignancy.
Dwirabuda indicates that the malignancy has metastasized or spread from its initial site to other parts of the bod
Dr. V B. Maheshwari: A good try to corelate type of granthi. But I always confused why there is no rasa granthi as aacharya explain lasika granthi.
Gary Yuen: It does seem that excess meat and dairy might be the main cause of all non-genetic tumors and cancers. Generally said to be the growth hormone IGF-1. High dose Vitamin C needs to be done as IV. Through food or vitamins, the body will limit absorption. According to many plant based doctors, strongest foods are garlic, onions, brassica (cabbage radish kale broccoli etc), and mushrooms. Beneficial compounds in allium and brassicas are deactivated by cooking too long but one can mix a small amount of raw at the end. Mustard leaves and moringa may be among the best brassicas for cancer due to higher ITC levels though they are not written about often since the west doesn't regular consume them. Amla and triphala are among some herbs also well studied.
There a few books concerning studies relating to food and cancer. There's one.
Croatia Branko Markovic: Yes excess meat and diary.. Junk food, all aditives and pesticides..  Most Effective Natural Cancer Treatments
1. Gerson Therapy and Juicing “…I see in him one of the most eminent geniuses in the history of medicine. Many of his basic ideas have been adopted without having his name connected with them. Yet, he has achieved more than seemed possible under adverse conditions. He leaves a legacy which commands attention and which will assure him his due place. Those whom he has cured will now attest to the truth of his ideas.” ~ Albert Schweitzer M.D. (Nobel Peace Prize Winner, 1952) Who was Albert Schweitzer talking about? He was referring to Dr. Max Gerson, the German born American medical doctor who developed one of the most effective natural cancer treatments over 90 years ago. Coined the “Gerson Therapy,” Dr. Gerson helped hundreds of cancer patients activate their body’s extraordinary ability to heal itself by recommending: Organic, plant-based foods, Raw juices, Coffee enemas, Beef liver, Natural supplements
In the words of the Gerson Institute, “With its whole-body approach to healing, the Gerson Therapy naturally reactivates your body’s magnificent ability to heal itself – with no damaging side effects. This a powerful, natural treatment boosts the body’s own immune system to heal cancer, arthritis, heart disease, allergies, and many other degenerative diseases.”
How the Gerson Therapy Works By maximizing the nutritional benefits of 15-20 pounds of organically grown fruits and vegetables each day, the Gerson Therapy targets the most significant metabolic requirements in your body.
The Gerson Diet – Consisting of eating only organic fruits, vegetables and sprouted ancient grains, the Gerson Diet is exceptionally rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and is especially low in fats, proteins and sodium. The meal plan advises cancer patients to drink 13 glasses of freshly prepared juice, eat three plant-based meals, and only snack on fresh fruits throughout the day.  Also, in the traditional Gerson Therapy consuming raw beef liver was recommended since it is the most nutrient dense food on the planet and extremely high in vitamin B12.
Juicing – According to the Gerson Institute, “Fresh pressed juice from raw foods provides the easiest and most effective way of providing high quality nutrition.” The cancer-fighting protocol calls for patients drinking fresh vegetables including: raw carrot/apple and green-leaf juice each day. To preserve the nutritional content, it is recommended that they be prepared hourly using a two-step juicer or a masticating juicer used with a separate hydraulic press. This helps prevent denaturation – when vitamins, minerals, and enzymes are literally destroyed – as most commercial juicers spin so fast that they heat up juice so much that they are basically pasteurized!
By following the Gerson juicing protocol, cancer patients can benefit from the nutritional healing of nearly 15 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables every day.
Detoxification – The Gerson Therapy utilizes coffee enemas as the primary method of detoxing the body.  It works by increasing the parasympathetic nervous system. For cancer patients, this may take up to five enemas each day. The importance of keeping the body free of toxins is stressed by Dr. Gerson’s daughter Charlotte:
“The moment a patient is put on the full therapy, the combined effect of the food, the juices and the medication causes the immune system to attack and kill tumor tissue, besides working to flush out accumulated toxins from the body tissues. This great clearing-out procedure carries the risk of overburdening and poisoning the liver—the all-important organ of detoxification, which, in a cancer patient, is bound to be already damaged and debilitated.”
Supplements – Classified as “biologicals,” the therapeutic medications of organic origin that the Gerson Therapy recommends are: Lugol’s solution, Pancreatic enzymes, Potassium compound, Thyroid hormone, Vitamin B-12
2. The Budwig Protocol “Over the years I have been given a lot of different advice as well, so when I heard about Dr Budwig’s protocol I too was very sceptical, until I tried it. Numerous, independent clinical cancer studies published in major medical journals world-wide confirm Dr. Budwig’s findings. Over 40 years ago Dr. Budwig presented clear and convincing evidence, which has been confirmed by hundreds of other related scientific research papers since, that the essential fatty acids were at the core of the answer to the cancer problem.” ~ Dr Willner, M.D., Ph.D. (The Cancer Solution)
In 1952, Dr. Johanna Budwig was the German Government’s Senior Expert on lipids and pharmacology and was considered one of the leading global authorities on fats and oils. During her research, she discovered that many of the conventional processed fats and hydrogenated oils were destroying the membranes of our cells and this caused diseased cells and toxicity.
Developing a specific diet to counteract this cancer-causing process, Dr.Budwig claimed to have had over a 90% success rate with her protocol over a 50 year period! How the Budwig Protocol Works When people replace deadly processed fats and oils with life-giving unsaturated/saturated fatty acids, their cells rebuild and are rejuvenated. Dr. Budwig found that consuming a mixture of cottage cheese, flaxseeds, and flaxseed oil had the best results. When cottage cheese (which is rich in sulfur protein and saturated fats) and flax (which is high in electron-rich unsaturated fatty acids) are combined this way, your body is able to absorb and assimilate these vital nutrients easier and quicker. My “Beyond Budwig” Recipe Because of the changes in agriculture, I suggest an updated 21st century version of the Budwig Protocol, which included the following: 6 oz. of Cultured Dairy (cottage cheese, goat’s milk kefir or amasai), 4 Tbsp of sprouted and ground Chia or Flax, 1 Tbsp Flaxseed Oil, 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix all the ingredients together in bowl or blender and consume 1x daily.
For more details, check out the recent article and video I posted on the Budwig Diet for cancer, which includes my addition of turmeric to maximize the healing benefits of this amazing protocol!
3. Proteolytic Enzyme Therapy In 1906, John Beard first proposed that pancreatic proteolytic enzymes represent the body’s main defense against cancer. Beard focused on high dose porcine-based pancreatic enzyme therapy and eating a holistic diet to create an internal environment in which the body can more thoroughly heal itself. Relatively left unresearched for most of the 20th century, a few scientists picked up the concept in the 60s, but it wasn’t until Nicholas J. Gonzalez, MD started to evaluate the concept at Cornell University Medical College in 1981 that people started to seriously consider this natural approach.
The Pancreatic Proteolytic Enzyme Approach The autonomic nervous system is comprised of the sympathetic (“fight” or “flight”) nervous system and autonomic (“rest” and “digest”) nervous system. Basing his protocol off of Dr. Francis Pottenger’s research during the 1920s and 1930s, Gonzalez’s work centers on balancing these two systems as they are suspected to be at least one of the major causes of cancer. He discovered that a vegetarian diet suppresses sympathetic function, whereas the opposite is true with a high-meat diet. So, after dividing patients into different categories based of their metabolic differences, genetic and physical make-up: People with epithelial tumors like lung, pancreas, colon, prostate, uterus cancers are prescribed a largely plant-based diet with minimal to no animal protein. People with blood or immune based tumors like leukemia, myleloma or lymphoma are put on a high-animal protein, high-fat diet with minimal-to-moderate plant foods. In addition, these physicians recommend taking 5 grams of proteolytic enzymes 3x daily on an empty stomach between meals to reduce inflammation. According to Dr. Josef Beuth, the research behind this protocol is pretty airtight. “These studies demonstrated that systemic enzyme therapy significantly decreased tumor-induced and therapy-induced side effects and complaints such as nausea, gastrointestinal complaints, fatigue, weight loss, and restlessness and obviously stabilized the quality of life.”
4. Vitamin C Chelation: Chelation therapy uses chemicals or natural compounds to remove toxic metals from the body.  The word, “chelate”, means to grab onto something, which describe chelating agents’ ability to grab onto toxins.  Generally, holistic doctors and naturopaths use chelation therapy because it is not an officially “approved therapy” for most conditions in medicine today.  When it is employed in the medical system, however, it is most commonly used to remove calcium deposits from the arteries. In a study published in Free Radical Biology & Medicine, vitamin C chelation therapy was found to be highly pro-oxidant after just one hour of treatment. This benefit lasted more than 16 treatments in the absence of nutrient supplementation, in addition to providing “beneficial long-term antioxidant effects.” Pro-oxidation, isn’t always good but in this case it is.
It was discovered that, “Pro-oxidant effects appear to be responsible for destroying tumor cells. These pro-oxidant effects may also induce endogenous antioxidant systems in normal tissues that offer protection against carcinogenic insult!” Along with vitamin C chelation, consuming more vitamin C rich foods may also prevent and fight cancer.
5. Frankincense Essential Oil Therapy : Recommended by Dr. Budwig (especially when it comes to fighting brain tumors) frankincense essential oil is an unbelievably effective cancer killer, and research trials are filling medical journals proving this. Specifically, Indian Frankincense (Boswellia serrata) has been shown clinically to being a vital treatment for: Brain cancer, Breast cancer, Colon cancer, Pancreatic cancer, Prostate cancer, Stomach cancer
According to researchers out of Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, the cancer killing effects of frankincense are due in part to its ability to regulate cellular epigenetic function, which highlights its function in influencing genes to promote healing. Baylor cancer scientists emphasize that this potency makes Boswellia serrata a viable candidate for both cancer prevention and treatment! How to use frankincense oil to fight cancer: Rub frankincense essential oil on your body (neck area) 3x daily and take 3 drops internally in 8 ounces of water 3x daily.
6. Probiotic Foods and Supplements: Best known as “Good Bacteria”, probiotics are microorganisms that promote a natural balance in your intestinal microflora. The best way to include probiotics in your diet is in their most natural state, which includes raw milk products such as cheese, kefir and yogurt.
Since 80% of your immune system is housed in your gut, it makes perfect sense that research has confirmed probiotic supplementation can stop tumor growth. In addition to supporting your immunity to disease, research has also shown that probiotics can improve digestive function and mineral absorption as well as aid in healing leaky gut, which all contribute to cancer prevention!
7. Sunshine and Vitamin D3: Science continues to support the fact that high levels of heart healthy, fat-soluble vitamins and minerals are key to keeping your body free of cancer. Recently, there has been considerable progress regarding the role that fat-soluble vitamin D3 plays in cancer prevention. Research studies are mounting and include almost 300 epidemiological studies, 2,500 laboratory studies and a 2007 randomized placebo controlled double blind clinical trial confirming it all! The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, is truly groundbreaking as it evaluated nearly 1,200 postmenopausal women for four years and tracked how 1400-1500 mg supplement of calcium fared up to a calcium supplement plus 1,100 IU vitamin D3 in preventing cancer. The results are amazing. It was discovered that after just one year of vitamin D3-added supplementation, the risk of developing all cancer types was decreased by an astounding 77%! Compared to the 0% improvement in the placebo and calcium supplement only groups, this is truly remarkable! Best Way to Get Vitamin D To best prevent cancer, research suggests that you should supplement so that your vitamin D3 levels are at least 40-60 ng/ml and up to 80 ng/ml for breast cancer. Since the sweet spot that you’re shooting for is 50 to 70 ng/ml:

Optimize vitamin D3 through 20 minutes of sun exposure everyday. This is best done between 10 am and 2 pm with 40% of your entire body exposed to the sun.
Take an oral supplement containing around 5,000 to 10,000 IU’s of D3 every day. Because they are fat-soluble, make sure that you take them with some healthy “fatty” foods containing coconut oil or some probiotic-rich drink like kefir.
Because it can be challenging to find a pure supplement on the market, I recommend you find a combination formula of astaxanthin, omega-3 fish oils with vitamin D3.
8. Turmeric and Curcumin : Of all the various topics scientists have tackled in regards to the curcumin and disease reversal, cancer (of various types) is one of the most thoroughly researched topics. A number of laboratory studies on cancer cells have shown that curcumin does have anticancer effects. It seems to be able to kill cancer cells and prevent more from growing. It has the best effects on breast cancer, bowel cancer, stomach cancer and skin cancer cells.
A 2007 American study that combined curcumin with chemotherapy to treat bowel cancer cells in a laboratory showed that the combined treatment killed more cancer cells than the chemotherapy alone.
Laboratory studies have also shown that curcumin interferes with cancer development, growth, and spread. Researchers have reported that curcumin blocked the formation of cancer-causing enzymes in rodents.
Recently, curcumin has received a great deal of focus because of it’s ability to reduce tumor size and kill cancer cells.
Bottom line: Turmeric works incredibly well to help stop cancer in its tracks and is especially effective at treating breast cancer, colon cancer and skin cancer.
9. Oxygen Therapy and Hyperbaric Chamber “All normal cells have an absolute requirement for oxygen, but cancer cells can live without oxygen – a rule without exception. “Deprive a cell 35% of its oxygen for 48 hours and it may become cancerous.”
Dr. Otto Warburg has made it clear that the root cause of cancer is oxygen deficiency, which creates an acidic state in the human body. Dr. Warburg also discovered that cancer cells are anaerobic (do not breathe oxygen) and cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen, as found in an alkaline state.
We’ve all heard that antioxidants kill free radicals in the body and reverse oxidative stress-causing chronic disease. This is one of the reasons why I just love them in my morning Blueberry Superfood shake! But, is eating blueberries enough to cure cancer?
Probably not. That’s why supplementing with oxygen therapy and utilizing a hyperbaric chamber is highly beneficial for people on a natural cancer treatment regimen!
Because the air pressure inside a hyperbaric oxygen chamber is about 2.5 times greater than the normal pressure in the atmosphere, your blood carries more oxygen to organs and tissues in your body. Known to heal everything from infected wounds to radiation injuries, many people claim that it has cured them of cancer. Not quite mainstream, a growing numbers of hospitals have even purchased some units to help their patients.
10. Prayer and Building Peace: A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones. ~ Proverbs 17:22
In addition to the many research studies that have been conducted on the healing benefits of intercessory prayer, maintaining mental peace and a positive outlook are absolutely critical to cancer prevention and treatment.
Some people utilize Eastern techniques like Tai Chi or having an attitude of gratitude, and these are highly effective in their own right. My favorite forms of meditation, however, are prayer, gratitude and reading the Bible.
To be cancer-free, whatever your preference may be, make sure that your focus is living a stress-free lifestyle filled with peace and joy!
Bonus Therapy: Immune Boosting Mushrooms. Mushrooms have been used in Chinese medicine for over 4,000 years, and research regarding the cordycep and reishi species and cancer therapy has been pretty straightforward. They can:
Increase survival, Shrink tumors, Boost your immune system And even reduce radiotherapy and chemotherapy side effects like nausea and hair loss Of course, these results all depend on which extracts you choose and how concentrated they are. Some sources even suggest that supplementing with a complementary dose of vitamin C is also necessary.
(Source: http://draxe.com/10-natural-cancer-treatments-hidden-cures/)
Gary Yuen: Gaveduka (coix lacryma-jobi) is still used in East Asia as a health food, and in China it's said to be one of the most common anti-cancer treatments. I haven't been able to find how differs the variety mentioned in texts and current cultivars. One study suggests a Thai black variety to be best. It could be like other grains such as sali, dark colored varieties best. Though have never seen them.
