Abstract
This invention is concerned with the clinical investigation of the therapeutic effects of garlic extracts containing allicin, diallyl disulfide, and diallyl trisulfide. The intake of garlic or therapeutically active substances such as allicin from garlic, induces immunostimulation and these active substances possess strong antitumor effects including the apoptosis of tumors, including the programmed cell death of human prostatic and bladder tumor cells. This invention claims that garlic and/or garlic extracts possess very effective therapeutic substances useful not only to treat human prostate and bladder cancers to extend life span of patients, but also to suppress or prevent bladder and prostate gland cancers.
