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.

  • 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.
