@melcanada, oh dear. I'm chasing around your multiple posts about claims of herbs or supplements clearing cancer. I'm afraid I'm repeating myself, but it's important to state that one must remain open-minded yet skeptical considering complementary or alternative treatments. Learn about the potential benefits and risks. As per the disclaimer for Mayo Clinic Connect https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/about-connect/tab/disclaimer/

Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on the community."

One of my favorite websites for finding evidence-based info about herbs and supplements is Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) complementary therapies database:
– Search About Herbs (cancer specific) https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/diagnosis-treatment/symptom-management/integrative-medicine/herbs/search

Keep in mind that natural substances can also have toxicities, adverse side effects and treatment interactions.

Thank You for emphasizing the above information. I was thinking the same but didn’t know how to tactfully say what you have said. Throughout my 8 year battle I have seen a lot of the miracle cures only turn out to be scams. People beware. Do your own research off “reputable” sites. As I drink my coffee at 4AM and scan the TV stations this morning it is full of infomercials offering miracle cures for just about everything.

The herb site has lots of herbs but do any work

How about vitamin K 17 does it offer anything
