Cancer: Nourishing Herbs With Anti-tumor Properties


There are many nourishing herbs that have anti-tumor properties which can and should be incorporated into a healthy lifestyle. Alfalfa tea and red clover extract are two of my favorite cancer prevention tonics because they are non-toxic and can be taken long term. Evening primrose oil , hemp seed oil, and walnuts, along with many others are good plant sources of GLA, which has also shown great promise in reducing cancers, especially breast cancers. Cannabis sativa is one of the few things that can reliably relieve nausea induced by chemotherapy and stave off the dramatic weight loss that can result from both the disease and the harsh drugs needed to treat it.1

Simple healthy lifestyle choices like drinking more green tea, increasing exercise, and most importantly stopping smoking will do a great deal to increase your odds of beating cancer. Remember, cancer is too serious a condition to self medicate. There are no silver bullets and no miracle cures. 2 However, there are many natural herbal treatments that fly below the radar of conventional medicine that deserve more study and show great promise.

    Essiac is a remedy comprised of four common North American herbs: Indian rhubarb (Darmera peltata), burdock root (Arctium lappa), sheep sorrel (Rumex acetosa), and slippery elm (Ulmus fulva). Essiac tea was later reformulated to include an additional four herbs (watercress [Nasturtium officinale], blessed thistle [Cnicus benedictus], red clover [Trifolium pratense], and kelp [Laminaria digitata]). Today there are more than 40 different ESSIAC formulas available. Despite widespread use, there are no substantial clinical trials published and very little in vivo or in vitro research. The recipe for Essiac is said to have been passed on by native peoples of Ontario in 1922 to Rene Caisse, a public health nurse, who gave it its name (by spelling hers backwards) and made it available to cancer patients as a cancer remedy. She passed the formula on to the Resperin Corporation of Ottawa before her death. The clinical studies on essiac have been disappointing so far, showing no benefits either on quality of life or reducing cancer mortalities.
