1. Pancreatic cancer

This cancer is considered "silent killer" very difficult to detect in the early stages. Only to develop to the end of the disease can cause symptoms, so it is very difficult to treat.

The great thing is that lemon juice is studied to prevent cancer growth, causing pancreatic cancer cells to die on their own.

2. Sickle cell anemia (SCA)

This is a congenital blood disorder , due to an abnormality in the amount of hemoglobin carrying oxygen in red blood cells.

In the United States, there are about 95,000 people with sickle cell anemia and 1 in 500,000 African Americans have this dangerous disease. This is the data provided by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The results of clinical trials with pediatric patients with SCA show that lemon juice can reduce pain symptoms from 92.7% when not used to 50% when used.

In addition, fever status also decreased sharply from 87% when not used to only 46.6% when using lemon juice. In particular, the hospital admission rate decreased to only 3.4% when using lemon juice compared to 34% when not in use.

But, recent research results show that when treating this disease with conventional treatment combined with lemon juice can increase the healing ability without causing side effects.
