Could the FDA be HIDING a potential cancer treatment

And reserving it ONLY for a small group of patients with a completely DIFFERENT… and less common… diagnosis?

A decade ago, the feds greenlit a plant-based medication to be used as a “drug” – but ONLY to reverse the side effects for another drug!

By then, we’d already seen how another version of this natural cure held promise in helping fight cancer

But cancer docs are FORBIDDEN from prescribing it to their patients!

Not for THAT reason, anyhow.

Here’s why that seems so strange to me…

Big Pharma ALWAYS seems to be expanding indications for its drugs… and coming up with new “off-label” uses… despite their PROVEN side effects and other risks.

But while something from nature has DEMONSTRATED its safety in both clinical trials and 10 years of real-world experience

It’s been RELEGATED to obscurity!

Here’s how a South American folk cure could give pharmaceutical cancer treatments a run for their money.

A ‘tree bleed’ cure

The dragon tree (Croton lechleri) is native to South America… where it’s PRIZED for its red-colored sap.

Slice into the bark of this tree… and a blood-red resin will OOZE out…

As though the tree were bleeding.

This latex-based goo has been thus nicknamed “sangre de grado” or “dragon’s blood.”

While it makes for a great natural source of crimson-colored dye… even being added to varnishes for furniture and violins…

It’s MOST treasured for its healing powers.

You see, while dragons may be MYTHICAL creatures

The health benefits of dragon’s blood are very REAL.

Applied topically, the sap can harden and provide a kind of “second skin” bandage to protect an open wound…

But it can also help that wound heal FASTER!

Practitioners of South American folk medicine also figured out that dragon’s blood can help SPEED wound healing when taken internally… especially when it comes to gastric ulcers.

But this “blood of the dragon” holds the potential to do something even MORE groundbreaking – change the game when it comes to fighting cancer.

In an in vitro study on human gastric and colon cancer cells in a lab dish, dragon’s blood INDUCED programmed cell death (a.k.a. apoptosis)…

But that’s not all.

It also BLOCKED the cancer cells’ ability to “stick together” and “latch on” to a new location.

And those effects were IRREVERSIBLE.

It appeared to work by TARGETING the microtubules of cancer cells – which is the same mechanism Big Pharma has had its eye on when developing cancer drugs.

Not surprisingly, the study showed that dragon’s blood’s effects were similar to those of the chemo drug paclitaxel!

And that’s not all.

In an animal study out of Mexico, an extract from the leaves of the dragon’s blood tree helped SHRINK tumors by as much as 59%.

Researchers have identified a plant chemical in dragon’s blood called thaspine… which appears to play a key role in its anti-cancer activity.

But this bloody latex is also PACKED with antioxidant pigments called proanthocyanidins… which is where it gets its red color from.

Now, the FDA already approved a version of dragon’s blood… called crofelemer… in 2012…

But ONLY for one very specific use (drug-induced diarrhea in HIV/AIDS patients).

So, your doc can’t LEGALLY prescribe it to you for any other condition.

However, you can work with an integrative doc… one who’s well-versed in herbal medicine… on which oral supplement may be right for you.

You should be able to find dragon’s blood as a powder in capsule form… or as a liquid in tincture form… at your local health food store or online.

Make sure the dragon’s blood you’re getting comes from a tree with the Croton species name… as there are other products from other plants around the world that share the same nickname.

To tapping into the healing powers of trees,
