[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WyeEEGKuQ6d9/en/clove-extract-vs-chemotherapy-in-a-mouse-colon-cancer-study) This study is crazy. Natural clove extract resulted in seventy-five percent smaller colon cancer tumors than chemotherapy in mice.

[0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WyeEEGKuQ6d9/en/clove-extract-vs-chemotherapy-in-a-mouse-colon-cancer-study?t=12) And that's not all that happened. In the laboratory experiments, the same clove extract reduced human colon cancer cell viability by nearly a hundred percent in just seventy-two hours.

[0:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WyeEEGKuQ6d9/en/clove-extract-vs-chemotherapy-in-a-mouse-colon-cancer-study?t=26) So basically, they implanted human colon cancer tumors into mice.

[0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WyeEEGKuQ6d9/en/clove-extract-vs-chemotherapy-in-a-mouse-colon-cancer-study?t=32) They had the control mice, and then they gave some mice chemo, and then they gave some mice clove extract.

[0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WyeEEGKuQ6d9/en/clove-extract-vs-chemotherapy-in-a-mouse-colon-cancer-study?t=39) And you'll clearly see, uh, the red there basically indicates a high tumor signal.

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WyeEEGKuQ6d9/en/clove-extract-vs-chemotherapy-in-a-mouse-colon-cancer-study?t=46) Uh, look how big the tumors still are in the chemo group, and look at the clove group.

[0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WyeEEGKuQ6d9/en/clove-extract-vs-chemotherapy-in-a-mouse-colon-cancer-study?t=51) It's significantly smaller. In fact, it's seventy-five percent smaller.

[0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WyeEEGKuQ6d9/en/clove-extract-vs-chemotherapy-in-a-mouse-colon-cancer-study?t=56) You'll see the green line here when they got the clove extract versus the red line, uh, the chemotherapy group.
