Dandelion root- another cancer killer herb

The University of Windsor Canada conveyed a study and the results gave new hope to cancer patients. It was found that the dandelion root effectively “kills” the cancer cells without harmful effects on the other healthy cells in the body.

John Di Carlo, 72 year-old man, was personally convinced in the healing properties of dandelion. After undergoing intense and “aggressive” chemotherapy for three years, the doctors sent him home to spend the last days with his loved ones.
Due to the fact that there was no positive effect of chemotherapy and doctors advised him to try alternative remedies to treat cancer, John began to drink tea from the dandelion root as a final attempt to defeat cancer. Only after four months, he defeated cancer for good.
