Herbs
& Cancer
There
are probably more varieties of cytotoxic herbs than thare
are chemotherapeutic drugs. Research has already been accomplished
spanning 5,000 years and 2,500,000 (2.5 million) herbs.
Of all these, at least 3,000 possess some type of anti-cancer
properties. The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture uses this same
figure.
The
way each herb interacts with Arthitis, Cancer, Cholesterol,
Diabetes, Heart Disease, or any other conditin is different
with each plant. Also it is very important that the condition
of the individuals body be analyzed as this may have some
impact on the dosage recommended. Finding the particular
combinatin that works best for a particular person is NOT
really a matter of trial and error.
For
example: 1 teaspoon of EZ-AK tea may be sufficient for one
person where another person may require 2 tablespoons (8
teaspoons).
We
have provided a link for a body survey form for each person
that is interested to complete. Once completed, a recommendation
will be provided. There is a charge for this evaluation.
This site does not participate in any way with this service
financially. You may email me any questions about the survey
and how it is conducted, or you may order the survey by
clicking the "Body Evaluation Questionaire" link
at the bottom of this page.
We
recommend a herbalist who is an LCN (Licensed Certified
Nutritionist) qualified and will provide suggestions as
to what tinctures, teas, soaps, salves and oils will work
best with your body to improve it function and healing.

The
difference between Drugs and Herbal Remedies is that, even
though some drugs are derived from herbs, the majority are
synthetic and work against the body, while herbs work in
concert with the body to balance and allow true healing
to take place.
For
example, Alfalfa, also known as "king of the herbs,"
was one of the first herbs known to man. It is native to
Asia and was brought to North America around 1850. Traditionally,
alfalfa was used in India to soothe arthritis pain and to
prevent fluid retention. The pioneers also used this perennial
to treat boils cancer, scurvy, urinary and bowel problems
and to bring on menstruation. Pound for pound, fresh green
alfalfa has more vitamin C than orange juice and also has
a high vitamin K content and contains a high amount of beta-carotene
to help build the immune system. Alfalfa has proven itself
to be one of the best sources of vitamin B and contains
high amounts of vitamin D, niacin, and the B-complex vitamins
and alfalfa has a high mineral content. Alfalfa roots go
down as far as 40 to 60 feet to get Minerals that other
plants can't reach. To view a even more indepth report on
Alfalfa, click here.
As
the title of this page indicates, herbs can play an important
part in the prevention and the healing of cancer.
One
of the primary herbal preparations is EZ-AK tea. This tea
combines 4 herbs, namely burdock root, sheel sorrel, slippery
elm and turkey rhubarb. This formula was originally developed
by Rene Caisse in the early 1900's and has been trademarked
as Essiac® tea. It is a safe, non-toxic with no dangerous
side effects cancer supplement. See~ Essiac: Nature's Cure
for Cancer, An Interview with Dr. Gary L. Glum.
