Botanical Medicine Used In Cancer Treatment
Botanical medicine is playing an increasingly vital role in cancer treatments. Dr. Michael B. Schachter, M.D. of the Center for Complementary Medicine in New York uses single herbs for specific purposes, such as improving digestion or speeding up detoxification. However, he has found many patients respond most favorably to herbal combinations.
FlorEssence is an herbal tea that many claim has merit in treating cancer. Although research is limited, Dr. Schachter believes there is enough anecdotal evidence to support its use. He generally recommends using twice daily, sipping slowly on an empty stomach.
Dr. Schachter often uses FlorEssence in combination with Vitae Elixxir, an herbal-mineral combination. Taken orally as drops or mixed with food or drink, the dosage is gradually increased over several days. He cautions that it is best to use both FlorEssence and Vitae Elixxir under medical supervision to monitor response to treatment.
More extensive information on Dr. Schachter's treatment protocols and other alternative methods to combat cancer are given full discussion on my video Cancer Conquest and in my book An Alternative Medicine Definitive Guide to Cancer.

Herbal therapies
Herbal therapies have been around for thousands of years and were widely prescribed by doctors until the late 1800s when the American Medical Association (AMA), a trade union of doctors committed to partnership with the budding pharmaceutical industry, used its economic and political muscle to suppress the use of natural substances. The use of herbs once was mainstream medicine but, because there is no great profit to be made from these unpatentable wonder drugs, they have lost their status as mainstream therapies.
Nevertheless, although the AMA, NCI (National Cancer Institute) and ACS (American Cancer Society) would prefer that you not know, several herbs produce patentable derivatives which are mainstays in the orthodox treatment of cancer. These herbs are "messed with," biochemically speaking, to produce unique, semi-synthetic compounds which retain some of the activity of the original herb and yet are patentable. Examples are vincristine, vinblastine and eteoposide. Taxol, a new experimental drug for cancer, is derived from the bark of the Pacific yew tree.
The fear of the cancer establishment is, of course, that people themselves would be able to treat their own cancer at least as well as the approved therapies for a tiny fraction of the cost, simply by finding the proper herb and preparing a tea or by eating the plant. For this reason millions of dollars are poured into the creation of synthetics and into the advertising necessary to convince people that laboratories can improve over nature.
We will focus on only a few herbal therapies, because it is not possible in the confines of this book to cover all the herbal treatments which may be effective in cancer. Besides that, only two percent of the herbs in nature have been tested as possible cancer therapies. It is certain that many effective herbs still lie undiscovered.
