in Head and Neck Cancer #1

This is a plant that is grown in China. It has been used there since 1975 to treat cancer and other ailments. Even though I am doing radiation & Chemo it will

not hurt to take this along with it. Please let me know if you have tried it and any effects on H&N cancer.

 

   Thanks

    I have never used this but ...

    I have never used this and I had to google it to find out more. It reduces pain and inflammation and treats symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and other auto­immune diseases. I think you should not use it during treatment, especially if you are taking immunosuppressive drugs, like chemo and prednisone.
