Wipe Out Chemo Side Effects With This Powerful Compound

A simple, natural plant compound may finally make chemotherapy more bearable…

But American cancer patients aren’t being told a word about it.

If you or a loved one is going through chemotherapy, you know it’s one of the most toxic and terrifying treatments around.

The side effects are brutal, and can leave lots of people feeling like they’re knocking on death’s door.

But more than a decade ago, scientists discovered a powerful, safe compound that can cut even the worst chemo side effects in HALF.

And here’s the kicker – it makes chemotherapy work 34% better, too.

You’ve never been told about it. You sure haven’t been offered it. But if you’re in the fight of your life against cancer, you deserve to hear the truth.

Along riverbanks throughout Asia, a bush called Sophora flavescens – often known as kushen – grows wildly.

It’s been used for centuries in traditional medicine. But in the early 1900s, scientists isolated a powerful compound from kushen known as matrine.

It’s been widely studied for its anti-cancer effects (we’ll get to those in a moment), and for its ability to help chemotherapy work better.

Well, back in 2015, a Chinese research team ran the numbers – and pooled together all of the results on combining matrine with platinum-based chemotherapy for lung cancer.

The results were stunning…

The patients who had matrine added to their chemotherapy were 34% more likely to respond well to treatment and see their tumors shrink. And they were a whopping 41% more likely to prevent their cancer from progressing.

But, wait… it gets better.

All of those terrible side effects that we worry about with chemotherapy? Matrine turned the dial WAY down on those, too.

It cut nausea and vomiting nearly in HALF compared to chemotherapy alone. It reduced low white blood cell counts – which make chemo patients sitting ducks for infections – by about half, too.

And it was safe. It didn’t make the chemotherapy any more toxic – it just made it work better.

Again, this research came out 11 years ago. And American cancer patients are still never told about matrine.

They’re being left to suffer through brutal treatments and side effects, while a simple, natural compound is available that could give them major relief.

Now, why would matrine work so well alongside chemotherapy? Well, there’s been plenty of evidence from lab and animal research that matrine can kill cancer on its own.

Here’s just a short list of the types of cancers matrine has killed or slowed in lab research:

• Pancreatic
• Ovarian
• Breast
• Liver
• Colorectal
• Cervical
• Chronic myeloid leukemia

Matrine’s secret power is that it interferes with signaling pathways cancer needs to survive, multiple, and invade nearby tissues.

Trust me, you’ll never hear about matrine from American mainstream medicine. It’s cheap and they can’t patent it.

But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t know about it.

There are a couple of suppliers selling matrine supplements in the United States.

LiftMode makes a matrine powdered supplement you can try for about $16 at www.liftmode.com. If you’re being treated for cancer, just make sure you always discuss your supplements with your care team.
