Sun Soup for Cancer
Quote:
Sun Soup is a mixture of vegetables and herbs for treating cancer which was developed by Alexander Sun Ph.D., a biochemist who once worked at Yale University. This therapy is little known, but has been touted by some alternative therapy advocates, including Pat McGrady Jr., who I respect. Until recently there was little in the way of publicly available evidence to suggest that Sun Soup works, but Dr. Sun and others have published results from small clinical trials in 1999 and in 2001.
Positive Results
* There was no sign of side effects in the early stage (stage I) patients.
* Not one of the early stage patients relapsed over two years - normally one would expect a significant percentage of relapses.
* Median survival was greatly improved in the advanced patients: 15.5 months vs. 4.8 months for control.
* The advanced stage patients who took Sun Soup maintained their weight while the controls lost weight.
* The Sun Soup patients remained healthier than the control patients who "deteriorated rapidly" as measured by the standard Karnofsky Performance Status scale.
* Stage IIIa has a substantially better prognosis than Stage IIIb or IV - this could present a problem since all three stages were included in varying proportions in the control and treatment groups, but the proportion of IIIb and IV patients was actually slightly higher in the treatment group.
