Dr. Weeks’ Comment: This herb and cancer issue is a time-honored relationship which precedes patent medications. The arrogance and ignorance of medical “experts” who opine that herbs can be dangerous is astonishing.
“…Although herbs have not been proven to treat or prevent cancers, studies indicate that some herbs, such as ginger and ginseng, are effective in relieving treatment-associated symptoms…”

Of course, this is erroneous since there are many studies which support the use of herbs as anti-cancer agents.
Show me the research and spare me the pontificating. The research actually supports the use of herbs since the antioxidant effects aid the healthy cells selectively and do NOT spare the cancer cells from the effects of pro-oxidant chemo or radiation therapy .
