Chinese Herb anyone heard about this?

[Guest guest]

Maybe we should all buy some before it disappears from all the shelves

everywhere on the planet? Where is a good place to buy this now? I have a lot

of inflamation and would like to try it.

Thanks.

Cancer-blocking herb to be taken off shelves in Europe

A herb used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can block cancer growth,

researchers have discovered this week – and it's about to disappear from

stores throughout Europe.

The herb, thunder god vine (lei gong teng), has been used for centuries by

TCM as a remedy for rheumatoid arthritis. But researchers from s

Hopkins School of Medicine say it can also stop tumour growth. Its active

ingredient, triptolide, is an anti-inflammatory, an immunosuppressant,

contraceptive – and anti-tumour agent, says Jun Liu, professor of

pharmacology and

molecular sciences.

Yet, on May 1, it will disappear from the shelves around Europe under an

EU directive that will dramatically reduce the range of herbal remedies we

can buy. Every single remedy from TCM, Ayurvedic and Amazonian medical

traditions will disappear under the EU's Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products

Directive. Of the hundreds of remedies currently available, just 79 will

survive – and a pharmaceutical company manufactures a third of these.

In laboratory tests, low doses of thunder god vine blocked cell growth in

60 different types of cancer, and even killed off some cancers.
