Could we CONTROL this ‘poison plant’ to create a cancer cure?
You know how it goes with conventional cancer docs.
They diagnose you with one of the scariest diseases you could think of…
And then they KICK you when you’re down… by POISONING you with sickening drugs!
Yet somehow, the mainstream is perfectly OK with that scenario…
While they’re simultaneously UP IN ARMS about herbal remedies that show some toxicity when used the wrong way.
Well, now there’s one plant that’s POTENTIALLY poisonous… but that’s attracted the attention of Big Pharma for its ability to CONQUER certain types of cancer.
Here’s how this powerful herb deserves more attention for its possible ability to turn cancer around!
The benefit should outweigh the harm
Southeast China’s thunder god vine (Tripterygium wilfordii) may have a funny-sounding name…
But its medicinal powers are NOTHING to laugh at.
It’s got a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine… which calls it “Lei Gong Teng”…
But this stuff is SO powerful… you don’t want to mess with it on your own.
In fact, the UK government was SO concerned about its potential toxicity, it told its citizens NOT to take it!
Unfortunately, they might be throwing the baby out with the bathwater…
Because recent research has produced some ENCOURAGING results when it comes to thunder god vine’s potential in fighting cancer.
Especially when its extracts are prepared in just the right way – and specifically derived from the root pulp, after peeling the skin away.
It’s known for its anti-inflammatory and detoxifying actions…
And in vivo animal studies have found that it could help fight leukemia… breast cancer… prostate cancer… bile duct cancer… and more.
Researchers have ZEROED IN on two plant chemicals that seem to contribute to thunder god vine’s anti-cancer properties — triptolide and celastrol.
Triptolide in particular appears to throw a one-two punch…
First by SLAMMING THE BRAKES on cancer cell growth and reproduction…
And then by CONVINCING cancer cells to “off” themselves (a.k.a. apoptosis).
But could it be TOO toxic to even TRY?
The key is finding a way to leverage that TOXIC action against tumors…
WITHOUT harming healthy cells!
Just like the folkloric thunder god himself, Leigong…
Whose flash of lightning comes first to make sure he doesn’t hurt the innocent when he STRIKES.
That, of course, is the “holy grail” of cancer research…
But even approved drugs… and other conventional treatments against cancer, like radiation… don’t live up to that measure of success.
In fact, those mainstream therapies can WRECK a cancer patient!
And they don’t have a 100% success rate either – not even CLOSE.
Now, Big Pharma is jumping on the proverbial bandwagon… and attempting to develop a pharmaceutical version of triptolide.
Who knows? Maybe this will be the answer to all our prayers. I certainly hope so.
In vitro results in hard-to-treat cancers… like pancreatic cancer… are encouraging so far.
But it’s still early in what’s typically a very long scientific process.
So, if you need something NOW… and can’t wait for clinical trials and drug approvals and safety warnings that inevitably follow…
Work with a certified Chinese herbalist or integrative oncologist who’s VERY familiar with thunder god vine and how to use it safely.
Although you can find it in supplement form, this one falls under the category of DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME.
To harnessing power for good,

P.S. TCM uses another herbal remedy to help DRAIN the body of its toxic contents – and it’s shown the ability to fight certain types of cancers, including pancreatic cancer, too.
