As with virtually all diseases, disorders, dysfunctions....different types of cancers respond to different herbs... I have included a few examples and some Western style scientific studies working with these herbs. Remember that they have been used successfully for 1000's of years.

Did I mention I also had a deteriorating spine at the same time? I used to take 3-4 Tylenol 3s with codeine 4-5 times a day to keep going (I used to [...]
Historically, our only gut issue was the extent that it might “stick out”. Then we were taught that that a “gut” provoked diabetes. Today, we know that 80% of those with weight issues don’t have diabetes. Times are changing fast and the information that is being discovered by NON-Big Pharma research is moving even faster. [...]
We experience depression and anxiety as a "head" thing, but too many times the cause is in the body. In fact, there are a wide number of physical causes that range from the adrenals, to the liver, to the thyroid (typically not the thyroid, typically its the gut, liver, and/or adrenals), to metal toxicity, etc [...]
