chemical cancer chemotherapies will not work against it. What they have come up with is a proprietary combination of
herbs:
Reishi mushroom
Rabdosia rubescens
Chinese Skullcap
Isaditis
Chrysanthemum
Licorice
Saw Palmetto
This combination has been studied by Zbigniew Darzynkiewicz, MD PhD at the Cancer Research Institute, New York
Medical College, in Valhalla New York. This herbal extract exerted cytotoxic and cytostatic changes in the prostate
cells studied. The apoptosis, cell death reproduced effected the reproduction cycle of the cancer cells. This product
has been used with classic chemotherapy treatments and without them. Success has been demonstrated in both
cases. If used with the chemotherapy a synergistic effect has been realized, and classic side effects reduced.
This is an exciting product and the well know cancer fighting Master Herbalist, Donnie Yantz of Wellspring Center for
