Dandelions Are A Non-Toxic Cancer Therapy
By Underground Healthy Reporter
The little pesky yellow weed in your yard could safe your life.
Dandelions – the dreaded flowering weed – have shown promise as a non-toxic cancer therapy.
The scientific and medical world has researched the therapeutic effects of dandelions on luekemia, breast cancer, prostate cancer and even other forms of drug-resistant cancer.
The enemy of well-tended gardens and manicured lawns is now being plucked for its power to inhibit the growth of several types of cancer. One man’s trash heap of dandelions (Taraxacum Officinale), is now another man’s prized treasure for surviving and beating cancer.
Dandelion Tea Heals 2 From Luekemia
In a bed on an oncology floor of the Windsor Regional Hospital, one elderly patient – frustrated with no improvement from treating leukemia with several rounds of chemotherapy – sipped dandelion tea as a last hope. There was othing to lose administering a natural cancer therapy to a highly resistant strain of myelomonocytic leukemia. She even shared some with another cancer patient. But Dr. Caroline Hamm, Oncologist, was surprised at the test results of both patients sipping dandelion tea.
Both cancer patients improved while taking dandelion tea – and both refused more rounds of chemotherapy. Thinking the results of beating cancer with a lawn weed was entirely coincidental, Dr. Hamm enlisted the help of University of Windsor biochemist Siyaram Pandey. Official research on the non-toxic cancer therapy from dandelions with funding from the Kings of Columbus Council 9671.
Dandelion roots were dug up and a root extract was created. The dandelion root extract was put in a culture dish with the leukemia blood cells from disposable tissue of 9 patients.
What happened next was amazing…the leukemia cells “committed suicide” when the dandelion root extract was added. Within 24 hours, the leukemia cancer cells were killed. Dr. Pandey reported, “The regular cells were not killed.” The incredible results can be found in the Journal of Ethnopharmacy.
Cancer Cells Self-Destruct with Dandelion Root Extract
Cell suicide (apoptosis) is common place in our body. Amazingly, cells in our body commit suicide when they are no longer needed or have faulty DNA.
However, the horror of cancer is that cancer cells skip his process of self-elimination and resist cell death. Dr. Pandey’s research attempts to explain why dandelion root extract can cause cancer cells to commit cell suicide, while healthy cells continue to function.
Dandelion Root Extract Accepted as Anti-Cancer Therapy
Scientific and medical researchers are accepting dandelion root extract as a valid healing phytomedicine. Their clinical results are being published in various publications.
- International Journal of Oncology, 2008. Dandelion tea was shown to decrease breast cancer cells. Researchers tested dandelion tea on prostate cancer cells and found similar results.
- International Journal of Oncology, 2011. Dandelion supplement with others dietary supplements suppresses the growth of prostate cancer cells.
- 2011, dandelion root extract induces cancer cell death in chemo-resistant melanoma (a type of skin cancer)—without toxicity to healthy cells.
- Native American Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Dandelion extracts are effective treatments for leukemia and breast cancer.
Other studies have shown that dandelion root extract administered in vitro are active against pancreatic cancer cells and colon cancer cells. Thankfully, human trials are in process of being approved for non-toxic cancer therapy.
Dandelion tea and dandelion root extracts are available as dietary supplements at health food stores and online health retailers.

I could get off hormones for my prostate cancer of dandelion tea works. Saving me from the frequent hot flash nuisance and heavy expense for injections.

And the Lord God created plants of every kind!!!!

I would post about an engineer I met in Houston back in the early nineties that claimed dandelion root save in wife’s life from incurable lung cancer and how in his view cancer is a nutritional deficiency which dandelion corrects. And I would tell you about how I now buy organic dandelion greens and bulk dandelion root for tea at the grocery bulk herb section because prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Why go to a health food store when you can go out in your back yard? You can make your own tea and jam with the flower heads, which you can also put them in salads and dips of all kinds (the flower is very sweet). The rest of the plant is edible also: put it in salads or cook it up. Be imaginative, but go ahead and eat them. They will surprise you not only how good they taste, but how healthy they are for you. And they are FREE!!!

thank you for posting citations from medical journals as well as “anecdotals”. results will vary according to individuals’ conditions, lifestyles, genetics, destiny, and whatever else they may mix in or omit! i myself am choosing an “alternatives”-only Tx for cancer, whatever the outcome.
some mix of caution, adventure, reading, self-testing, rationality, intuition..sound familiar?
knowing what quantity is optimal, knowing that the soil of the plant has not been sprayed w/pesticides or found too close to roadside pollutants : these things are key.
burdock root is synergistic w/ dandelion root. (i didn’t just make that up. i don’t recall the source, but in my experience it feels right. ) using burdock and dandelion roots in a stew or saute’ have been refreshing but a bit harsh digestively when undercooked.
licorice root, marshmallow root, slippery elm have helped soothe indigestion.
chinese medicine has been my favorite sort of circular reasoning as to why individual responses vary so much. anyway, happy eatin’s and healin’s to y’all……….. -
any leads on clinical trials for this?
‘in vitro’ (the petri dish in the lab) is promising. we also need to look at ‘in vivo’ reality: what happens during the whole cycle of metabolism. does the active ingredient actually get absorbed into the bloodstream , delivered to the cells, (penetrate the cell wall, and or the tumor encapsulation if necessary) to have its’ effect?
do nettles, bioperines, electrolytes, visualization, oxygenation and/or chewing gum increase likelihood of effective absorption?!
we can hope….
Our family has been eating dandelion salads, my parents made our salads with the leaved of the plant for as long as i can remember, we didn’t have enough money back then and since the plant was plentiful in the backyard our salads were always with the dandelion leaves.
As for the Cancer Therapy of the plant both my parents died of cancer, my father died from leukemia
and my mother from breast cancer.
