OVERCOME cancer with this ‘perseverance tree’
When you’ve been diagnosed with cancer…
You’ve got ZERO time to waste WAITING for conventional therapies to clear your disease.
You’ve got to come out with guns BLAZING…
Especially because conventional “cures” may not be enough on their own.
Sure, your doc THINKS the next round of chemo might be the one to finally work…
And he HOPES that he’ll be able to tell you that your cancer is GONE…
But this isn’t the time for crossing fingers and toes.
So, here’s something else you can do – a “tree trick” that you can keep up your sleeve to help TURBO-CHARGE your cancer-fighting routine.
It could even help when chemotherapy FAILS!
A calming cancer cure?
The magnolia tree (Magnolia officinalis)… which is native to China… has come to symbolize longevity and perseverance.
That’s why Southern women are often called “steel magnolias” – in praise of their fortitude!
Now, you may be thinking of the striking magnolia flowers that are so admired for their beauty throughout the world…
But what I want to share with you today is the bark of the magnolia tree.
Historically, Native Americans have used its extract to fight malaria…
But where it’s showing really exciting promise is in the field of cancer research.
I’m talking about nearly every type of the disease you can think of…
Including MULTIPLE invasive forms of cancer.
Take, for instance, head and neck cancer… which kills TENS OF THOUSANDS of Americans every year, partially because of its POOR response rate to conventional cancer drugs.
But in a 2015 study, researchers were able to STOP the growth of head and neck cancer cells with a compound from magnolia bark extract.
As it turns out, this compound is BETTER at binding to and inhibiting a cancer-promoting protein… called epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)… than the most commonly used chemo drug for this type of cancer.
The secret to magnolia’s success may be the active compound honokiol – perhaps better known for its mood-boosting and memory-preserving actions.
Long used to treat anxiety and depression, honokiol is a powerful anti-inflammatory…
But it turns out that it doesn’t just CHASE the blues away.
Research reveals how it also…
- INHIBITS tumor growth, in part by CHOKING OFF its blood supply
- INITIATES cancer cell “suicide” (a.k.a. apoptosis), and
- SLAMS THE BRAKES on cancer spread and invasion.
That last one is especially important…
Because metastasis is a HUGE culprit behind cancer-related death.
And one of the factors that contributes to cancer becoming metastatic is the inability of certain conventional drugs to stop it DEAD in its tracks.
Fortunately, honokiol has been shown to help REVERSE multidrug resistance…
And help ENHANCE the effectiveness of chemo drugs doxorubicin and daunorubicin against cancer.
At the very least, honokiol-rich magnolia could help you COPE better emotionally… and might even help clear the clouds of “chemo brain.”
Practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine call magnolia bark extract “Hou Pu”…
And in traditional Japanese Kampo medicine, they call it “Saiboku-to.”
Fortunately, you don’t have to hop a plane to Asia – because you can find magnolia bark extract in supplement form at your local health food store or online.
Now, you might be tempted to just LOAD UP on honokiol… but magnolia bark contains even MORE cancer-fighting compounds, like magnolol.
Don’t shortchange yourself…
Look for a magnolia bark supplement standardized to contain a percentage of BOTH honokiol and magnolol.
