Default Common weed skin cancer treatment

Sap from the common garden weed petty spurge appear to treat non-melanoma skin cancers, experts are reporting in the British Journal of Dermatology.

But they tell patients not to try it at home since the treatment is "still experimental" and can irriatate the skin.

Their study involved 36 patients with non-melanoma skin cancer lesions.

Although not the most serious form of skin cancer, non-melanoma lesions are very common, accounting for a third of all cancers detected in the UK

Ironic really! Advocate a herbal treatment for cancer and you'll be branded a quack, a charlatan, a fraudster and a danger to the public, yet here they are digging deep into herbal lore themselves!

Petty spurge is also known as cancer weed.

That is so true. I guess the FDA is only always ready to approve of medicines developed by pharma giants. The bigger company, the easier it is to get your drug approved. If FDA really does test these medicines before they come to the market, they why there are massive recalls after so many people are affected by the side-effects? Shouldn't they be scrapped even in the testing phase? On the other hand, there are natural treatments available cheap and easy. Yet, they don't give a damn.
