No. There is no cure for cancer. Not yet. Whatever he read, they are trying to get you to buy something. They will be penalized and fined by the FDA for false claims. There's been no testing on this "cure." It's a scam. This is what I do. Believe me, when a cure for cancer is found (and someday it will be found) it will be HUGE, WORLDWIDE news. Everyone will know about it. There will be BIG celebrations all over the world.

There is no cure for advanced cancer. There are treatments available that will lead to remission and eventual cure for many types of cancer. Cancer is an umbrella term for over 200 different types and all are treated by different protocols. (a child with a large Neuroblastoma abdominal tumor is not treated the same way that a 60 year old woman with breast cancer is treated)

What your grandfather is referencing is a bunch of herbs from the Amazon forest that are sold all over the Internet. There is no current evidence that anyone has ever been cured using any of these products. Just claims, with no proof. If they cured cancer people should be able to easily document it and prove that it worked within a few months. Cancer is a disease where cells grow uncontrollably. A product, whether it is an herb, a vegetable, or chemotherapy drug needs to prove that it can stop the growth of cancer in four to six weeks . . or it is useless.

You can check out your grandfathers amazon herbs at the National Center of Complementary and Alternative medicine. They conduct research and Clinical Trials into whether any of these types of treatment are a benefit to a cancer patient.

MD Anderson Cancer Center also conducts legitimate study into these types of herbs and claims:

And Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center also does research using herbs and botanicals including those from the amazon.

Hi lift & shift,

There are lots of cures for cancer...from the Amazon, from Canada and maybe from your own back yard.

I'm not trying to sell you anything. I cured my own Stage 4 cancer with habeneros peppers, freshly grated garlic, and emulsified fish oil. If I had been losing weight, I would have used evening primrose oil.

That was nine years ago. There were no side effects.

My personal experience has been validated by researchers at UCLA. They shrank tumors an average of 80%. They used hot peppers without the garlic. The combination is much more powerful.

Grate the pepper and the garlic and put it on a piece of bread. Cover it with butter, to lessen the heat. If the pepper is intolerable grate ginger instead.

Take a tablespoon of whichever oil you decide upon.

In my case it only took two weeks...it can work fast.

Good luck and be well.

Kelley

I think most everyone has heard of cures from the Amazon. Tis where early medicines all first came from, plant life.
Google it. If you don't come up with google info, the do all the other search engines.
Might think of searching in wikepedia as well.
good luck
