There are thousands of plant medicines and all the solutions the Earth provides are truly incredible. Every day at the clinic we are utilizing the plant kingdom to treat patients.
One thing we have found is that circulating tumor cells (cells circulating in the blood that have come off a tumor) only respond to natural substances and do not respond to chemotherapy. Therefore, when it comes to reducing the level of CTCs, we heavily rely on substances from the Earth. These medicines are not weak. They have a strong effect on the body. For example, cascara sagrada can cause discoloration of the colon if too much is taken.
1. Mistletoe (Iscador)
Mistletoe targets the cancer cell instead of all cells. Interestingly enough, mistletoe uses trees rather than soil to grow in all directions, mirroring an unruly cancer cell.
Results from a study done on mistletoe therapy for cancer treatment show survival time of patients treated with Iscador was longer for all types of cancer studied. Roughly 40% longer than in the control groups.
2. Taxol (Yew Tree)
Taxol, originally extracted from the bark of the Pacific yew tree, is one of the most commonly used drugs against solid tumors and is a front-line drug for treating ovarian and advanced breast cancer. "The drug is known to bind to microtubules and essentially freeze them in place, which prevents them from separating the chromosomes when a cell divides. This kills dividing cells, in particular cancer cells, which are known for rapid proliferation."
3. Cascara Sagrada
Cascara Sagrada is an aged bark that is utilized for constipation. "The bark is very bitter — which stimulates the vagus nerve, liver, and digestive organs. As bile acids and pancreatic secretions begin moving in the gastrointestinal tract, it triggers the gastric mucosa to expand and contract. This is important to help foods move through the digestive tract.
Some of the active compounds in the herb work by irritating the digestive mucosa — causing them to writhe and contract. This herb needs to be used carefully — high doses can be very uncomfortable and result in serious harm.
It's similar in structure to anthracycline — which is a class of chemicals used in cancer chemotherapy. They work to intercalate the DNA of cancer cells."
4. Agaricus Blazei
Agaricus Blazei is known in Brazil as "Cogumelo de Deus," or "Mushroom of God," because of its reputation for bestowing health and longevity on those who consume it.
When researchers began investigating this unique species,
they found the mushroom to be high in immunomodulating substances that not only served to strengthen the immune system but also induced apoptosis (cell suicide) in cancerous cells.
A
clinical report from South Korea confirmed that the mushroom dramatically reduces, the side effects of chemotherapy.
The plant kingdom is one of the greatest gifts to mankind. It should be used strategically. These plant medicines are not dietary food. They are powerful and can come with side effects. Furthermore, they are not magic bullets and are often used alongside other therapies.
Different cancers respond to medicines depending on their pathology. A culture of the pathology can be used to see which substances may have a medicinal effect on cancer
