“Whiskey” weed KILLS cancer? (Study)

No matter what type of CANCER you or a loved one has…

The fact of the matter is, cancer shows NO REMORSE!

And even if the disease does spare your life, chances are the mainstream ‘treatments’—like chemotherapy and radiation will end up DESTROYING your body.

But now research suggests these conventional treatment methods could become a thing of the past.

Thanks to a groundbreaking study out of Japan, there’s a “whiskey” weed that’s well-known for wreaking HAVOC on American’s gardens…

That could also wreak havoc on CANCER!

Here’s the inside scoop…

Researchers in Japan have discovered that an invasive weed called Andropogon virginicus—native to the southeastern United States—contains powerful compounds that could one day halt and even KILL cancer cells.

Commonly known as ‘whiskey grass’, Andropogon virginicus is capable of reaching heights of seven feet and known to disrupt local growth patterns. Plant experts say if you burn it, it’ll just grow back stronger and thicker than before.

It turns out this pesky weed is packed with high levels of flavonoids that protect cells from free radicals (these free radicals can contribute to tumor growth and development).

The flavonoids in whiskey grass are so powerful, when researchers exposed them to a rare variety of blood cancer, the compounds in the weed appeared to KILL the cancer cells.

Research and studies continue to be done around whiskey grass as a potential cancer treatment, but the initial findings are extremely promising.

In the meantime, there are plenty of ways to naturally keep cancer at bay.

For instance, did you know that a daily cup of green tea can not only STOP cancer cells from forming… it can also prevent them from spreading?!

Research has found that green tea can ‘switch on’ a gene called p53, which blocks tumor development.

If you haven’t heard of p53 before, it’s a protein that destroys damaged cells and keeps them from multiplying, giving your body time to repair itself. Unfortunately, p53 is mutated or inactivated in most types of cancer.

But thanks to the antioxidants found in green tea, p53 becomes more efficient. You can also find green tea extract supplements are most reputable vitamin retailers for about $12 per bottle.
