DANDELIONS & BRAIN CANCER
(Posted 2010-11-02 13:31:22 by ArchPaladin)

A new study has been released stating that there is a class of compounds in
dandelions that lengthen the survival times of mice who have brain cancer. 
This class of compounds appears to specifically target aggressive cancer
cells - I presume this to be the cells with the greatest rate of division.

A review of the study can be found here [

I just wanted to point out that dandelions are a common Chinese herb, going
by the name _Pu Gong Ying_.  Their use?  The reduction of abscesses and
nodules.  In Chinese medicine, these things are considered to be forms of
stagnation and toxicity, which is the same classification used for cancer.
