QUALITIES DESIRED IN A CANCER HERBAL FORMULA Medical researchers, unacquainted with the field, will appreciate knowing that, in designing an anti-cancer herbal compound, the best herbal formula for cancer should have these qualities: The following herbal listing is, with few exceptions, drawn from the above listing of the herbs included in the best cancer forumulas. Carefully examining the information which follows will help you understand the attributes of each of those herbs. 1 - The ideal anti-cancer formula should attack and destroy cancer tissue. Of the herbs listed in the above formulas, here are the ones which destroy tumors. DISCUTIENTS—These are herbs which dissolve and remove tumors and abnormal growths. They can be used as poultices, fomentations, and/ or taken internally. Burdock root Red clover tops Chaparral Sorrel Garlic 2 - The ideal anti-cancer formula should attack and destroy bacteria and viruses. Since there is good reason to believe that cancer may be a bacteria or virus, the formula should include an herb which is “antibiotic”; that is, which inhibits the growth of, and destroys, viruses and bacteria, and strengthens the body’s immune system. ANTIBIOTICS—These are herbs which inhibit the growth of, and destroy, viruses and bacteria, and strengthen the body’s immune system. Chaparral Garlic Echinacea Goldenseal Also helpful would be an herb which prevented the growth of more bacteria during the cleansing process. ANTISEPTICS—These herbs prevent the growth of bacteria. Barberry Garlic Echinacea Goldenseal 3 - The ideal anti-cancer formula should purify the blood, in order to help rid the body of toxins, in general, and also portions of the cancer tissue as it is being absorbed into the blood stream. Here are herbs, in the above list, which do this: ALTERATIVES—These are herbs which purify the blood. They usually do this by cleaning out the spleen, liver, kidneys, and bowels. As a rule, these herbs are best used for a lengthy period of time, so that the detoxification will not occur too rapidly and overwhelm the body’s abilities to discharge those toxins. Of course, nutrition must be corrected at the same time that alternative herbs are taken. Barberry Goldenseal Burdock root Gotu kola Cayenne Licorice root Chaparral Oregon grape root Chickweed Poke root Cleavers Prickley ash Comfrey Red clover tops Dandelion Rhubarb Echinacea Sassafras Garlic Yellow dock Ginseng 4 - The ideal anti-cancer formula should help clean out the liver. This is crucial, since the blood stream sends the toxins from the broken-down tumor to the liver to be ejected. When the cleansing occurs too fast (which can easily happen if the diet and herbal formula is correct), the liver can become overloaded—and stop functioning. This is called hepatic coma, and death results. CHOLAGOGUES—These herbs help open the bile ducts and promote the flow of bile, thus aiding the liver in cleaning itself out. Barberry Goldenseal Cayenne Yellow dock Dandelion Note: The Gerson Institute has found that coffee enemas are far and away the most powerful, yet safe, means of emptying the bile ducts and thus cleaning out the liver. But it must only be done when high levels of nutrients and vitamin and mineral replacement is being made! It would be helpful if, at the same time, the liver could be strengthened. But this may not be crucial. HEPATICS—These are herbs which strengthen, tone, and stimulate the secretive functions of the liver. Aloe vera Barberry 5 - It would also be helpful to strengthen the organs of elimination. LIVER TONICS—These herbs increase the energy of the liver. Barberry Cleavers Buckthorn bark Mistletoe GALLBLADDER TONICS—The following herbs strengthen the gallbladder. Goldenseal Oregon grape root KIDNEY TOPICS—These herbs strengthen the kidneys so they can work better. Burdock root Mistletoe Cleavers INTESTINAL TONICS—These herbs energize the gastro-intestinal tract. Barberry Goldenseal Cascara sagrada Rhubarb 6 - Additional flushing of toxins is also needed during the cleansing process. LYMPHATICS—These herbs stimulate and cleanse the lymphatic system. Chaparral Oregon grape root Dandelion Poke root Echinacea Yellow dock Garlic ANTI-CATARRHALS—These herbs help rid the body of catarrh. Bayberry Garlic Cayenne Ginger Comfrey 7 - During the cleansing process, it would be well to help soothe the gastro-intestinal tract. MUCILAGES—These are herbs which tend to soothe inflamed parts. Slippery elm is the best of them. Chickweed Slippery elm Comfrey 8 - It might be helpful if an herb could be included which relieved pain during the recovery process. Yet it is now known that cancer never causes pain! It is not the tumor but the toxic overload in the later stages which produces the pain! As soon as the toxins are being reduced, by elimination through the bowels and kidneys, the pain which cancer patients are experiencing lessens and stops. The Gerson Institute has found that, when pain occurs, coffee enemas flush out the liver and the pain subsides. They also use chamomile to lessen gastro-intestinal pains. NERVINES—These herbs help relieve pain (yet are unlikely to stop cancer pain since it is caused by a toxic overload). Chamomile Mistletoe Gravel root Wood betony ANODYNES—The following herbs relieve pain. They do this by decreasing the excitability of the nerves and nerve centers. Anti-spasmodic (antiparalysis) herbs are quite similar in function. Echinacea White willow SUMMARY It is of interest that, in the above listings, certain herbs, known to have anti-cancer properties, are continually repeated. They are: Burdock root Echinacea Barberry Also repeated frequently are chaparral, goldenseal, mistletoe, dandelion, etc. In addition, the four Essiac herbs are all there: Burdock root Sorrel Rhubarb root Slippery elm bark Working from the above analysis, it would seem that Essiac, possibly with the addition of Echinacea and Barberry (please note: Large doses of barberry are harmful!), could provide the basic herbal formula.
