Herbal remedies for cancer?

[anatessa]

Hi all, is anybody aware of any herbal remedies that can eliminate cancers?

No. No herbal solution is stronger than the disease.

Cancer requires chemo/surgery. Magic can be used alongside the conventional medical route. I knew a magician who, alongside chemo, engaged in a concentrated one hour visualisation (kept militantly to the same hour each night) where he would shoot torpedos of positive energy towards the tumour which he'd visualised as a Death Star. He beat it twice and it took him the third time, ten years later. That time he knew it would ( "when your number is up your number is up and, this time, mine is up").

Both Bob Marley and actor Steve McQueen died after pursuing alternative cancer treatment, and there are probably more sad celeb examples. I wouldn't stake my life on herbal remedies and delay conventional procedures until it's too late. Herbs can alleviate the side effects of chemotherapy though.

You can have herbal prevention but not herbal treatment.

Cancer appears in our bodies every day, some wrongly copied cell starts to multiply uncontrollably and doesn't work as it should. Our body destroys these cells every day. Sometimes they are damaged enough to become cancer but not enough for body to react in time. You can lower that with supporting and training your imunity as well as reducing carcinogens as much as possible.

But there are no herbs for eliminating cancer.

Not entirely accurate - mutations appear in our bodies every day - you get, like, four from going out in the sun - but our DNA has so much built-in redundancy (sometimes dismissingly referred to as 'junk DNA') that it normally takes a LOT of these random mutations before one hits the cancer 'jackpot'.
Since being a magician is about being lucky, magic can help reduce the chances of this 'jackpot' but, once you have it, definitely run to the arms of modern medicine as everyone else suggests.
I did see a talk by one cancer scientist - his job was sequencing cancer genomes - who had a patient whose cancer was the combination of two mutated genes. One of these genes was present throughout 1/2 his body - which meant that the mutation had happened just after the zygote had subdivided for the first time

Okay, I know the safe, kosher answer for OP's question is "No, you should not rely on herbal remedies in order to cure a cancer". Especially in the generic way the question is formulated, including the reference to "cure cancer" as if cancer was a specific viral disease instead of a vast complex.

But I'm going to be the odd one out here and add a couple observations. I'm not suggesting anyone to neglect clinical medicine for cancer treatment, but "cancer requires chemo/surgery" is not considering the fact that revolutionary developments over the last few years for cancer treatment are in immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors and immunomodulators. And in both types of treatment, some of the most promising compounds are phytochemicals. I am not going to name examples because I don't want this thread to become a source of information that people might use to ignore clinical approaches, but there is a growing amount of biomedical research discussing specific plant compounds and extracts that are not only useful as a way of, for instance, minimize side effects in traditional chemotherapy, but useful as directly involved in the treatment itself. And I mean besides the unusual cases of remission related to the use of plant preparations, which are often accompanied by multiple other factors and thus can hardly be invoked as representing a "cure for cancer".

Should anyone avoid clinical medicine and try to treat their cancer using herbal preparations only? Definitely not.
Are there plants and plant extracts that can help treat cancer, beyond being a merely coadjuvant or supporting symptoms of other aggressive treatments? Absolutely yes, and if I ever get a diagnose, I expect to work with an oncologist that can include them in the treatment as well.

There's currently a study going to defeat cancer using Ewingella Americana. Try to check if you could apply as a test subject.

Hi all, is anybody aware of any herbal remedies that can eliminate cancers?

Best book I've seen on this topic is

The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies​

by Dr. Nicole Apelian

There is also some claims that fasting could destroy cancer cells(based on autofagy).

But the official answer is of course to seek help from big pharma and western medicine.

If we ask whether traditional herbal therapies have been used for treatment, the answer is clearly yes, and naturally, there have been cases of recovery. But the question is: what is the cure rate, and what exactly does “cure” mean in this context? First, it must be made clear that the cure rate for traditional herbal therapies is very low (as you can see, whenever one person is cured, the doctor would love for everyone to know about it)—and there are many reasons for this. For example, what kind of people are more likely to turn to herbal therapies? Typically, they are those who have no better options left and are simply trying something... . In other words, the condition is inherently difficult to cure. The modern concept of a “cure” is generally defined as the absence of recurrence over a certain period; I’ve seen some use five years as the benchmark, others more than 10 years, and some even factor in the cause of death—as long as the patient didn’t die from cancer and didn’t experience a recurrence before death, they’re included in the data. At the same time, we must consider the issue of false positives in cancer screening—this involves doctors and hospitals, and in extremely rare cases, it may be due to spiritual causes. Therefore, treating herbal therapy as the sole option is really not a good solution. A reasonable approach is to use herbal therapy as an adjunct during postoperative recovery. This is primarily based on the principles of traditional medicine, aimed at accelerating physical recovery and managing emotions. A patient’s negative emotions can lead to a higher recurrence rate—though modern considerations in this regard also include palliative care for terminal patients. From a technical standpoint, one could also use divination to determine whether a doctor is helpful in the treatment process and decide if a change is necessary. This is because doctors sometimes lean toward conservative treatments and may not necessarily recommend options with higher cure rates but also higher risks; therefore, the treatment plans proposed by different doctors do make a difference. If you are confident in your divination skills, you may use them. Ivy Bromius shared a “Cancer Grimoire” on her blog, which you may also find useful.

To elaborate on the low cure rate: it’s important to realize that doctors who use herbal medicine for general treatment and those who use it to supplement cancer treatment are actually in different categories. The latter have treated a far greater number of cancer patients than the former, so they have a much better grasp of the relevant herbal remedies—though this doesn’t change the fact that the cure rate remains very low. Therefore, if you have to rely solely on a general herbalist, the outcome will naturally be even worse.... On the other hand, I believe that any ethical doctor—especially one who has witnessed enough patients die from their illnesses—would never prescribe medication online. You should give this matter careful consideration.

So seeking herbal remedies isn't a good idea in any respect.

I would probably build upon somewhat touched subject, which is not necessarily about curing cancer, but herbs that can help in easing symptoms, even more so during chemotherapy, like nausea, pain, and digestive track upset, or even help with the mood, boost immunity and support hair growth. Like mentioned, being positive helps, as well as being as comfortable as possible, and herbs can give us that pleasant, soothing sensation.

I haven't heard of any herbs either, but eliminating sugar in your diet, forms of fasting and a plant based diet are meant to be helpful. I'm not advising against getting medical treatment, this is simply something you can do to support your body with its repair processes. Best research this yourself further. I wish you all the best.
