This is a study on utilizing dandelion root extract in improving  colorectal cancer as well as other types of cancer.  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5341965/
To summarize what it says: After 9 weeks of using a water/liquid based dandelion root extract, they were able to induce programmed cell death (PCD) selectively in > 95% of colon cancer cells by 48 hours of treatment.
If I were fighting cancer, this would be worth my time.

Thank you for posting this! I'm bookmarking the study to read later. I'm in herbalist but used to work in oncology as a radiation therapy technologist  (treated cancer with radiation) a loooooong time ago. Dandelion is one of my favorite herbs

Hello,
It is my understanding from reading another study that lemongrass roots are also effective against cancer.
 
I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody. Instead, I'm a tiny ad.
