so good to hear your report. And yes, we should pray for all affected by this terrible disease.
I ran across this today:
“Could Future Leukemia Treatments Be Based on Dandelion? Dandelion root tea gained considerable fame back in 2012 when several leukemia patients in Canada started using it to slow their cancer. One patient even went into remission after being given a terminal diagnosis. When tested in the lab, dandelion root extract was indeed found to be highly toxic to leukemia cells (CMML), killing up to 96% of them in a matter of hours. So Canadian researchers started to test dandelion root tea in properly controlled clinical trials in 2015—but these are not complete yet. In the meantime, a fascinating new case study of an American man with leukemia (CMML) has been published in the “Case Reports in Hematology” journal linked below. This patient used papaya leaf and dandelion root extracts to successfully stabilize his cancer for eight years (and counting). And—in the stunning words of the researchers themselves—the patient’s “bone marrow blast counts vastly improved” during this time. Take note that this man used multiple other supplements such as maitake mushrooms (a full list is found in the paper) so we don’t know if it was the dandelion or the combination of many things. But this extraordinary result speaks volumes to the power of natural medicine. We will know much more when the clinical trials in Canada are complete. Watch this space.”

I have been taking massive amounts of herbs since the surgery and will post about them and other herbs that are considered helpful to prevent or curb cancer, as well as many other herbs.
I take at least 5 tablespoons of powdered herbs a day, plus some liquid extracts. Not yummy...
I have really neglected this thread and want to add a lot more to it.
Since the Chinese virus is really in the news, and I mentioned I make a home made hand/thing sanitizer and was asked the recipe, here it is.
Home Made Neem Hand/Thing Sanitizer
I’ve made it for years and use it exclusively as hand/thing santizer and also for house cleaning.
This recipe uses 2 cups of dried neem leaves. If anyone lives in a tropical area (FL/HI) neem trees grow very fast and easily. I would LOVE to have one!
Soak 2 cups packed dried neem leaves in 1 gallon water overnigbht.
Bring almost to boil next day, pot covered, then let sit until room temperature.
Strain out the leaves into a large pot or bowl. I use a very large whisk that I only use for herbal stuff to mix all the ingredient together. I have modifed this recipe over time, and used various kinds of essential oils. All citirus EOs are very powerful.
Add:
3 cups white vinegar
1-3 squirts natural non-fragranced dish soap (small sqirts, not precise number as bottles differ)
4 T. grain alcohol if desired - I don’t always add, helps preserve it, would us if I don’t have the following:
2 t. citric acid dissolved in a small amount of hot water
2 T. of varied EOs - I use a blend of Orange, Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime and also Eucalyptus, sometimes smaller amounts of Tea Tree, Thyme, Cinnamon or Oregano
You can use 3 T. of EOs.
If you can get vegetable glycerine, 1-2T, in helps disperse the EOs I think. Not necessary.
Whisk very well and store in the jugs white vinegar or dish soap comes in (dish soap containers rinse out well first).
Makes about 1 1/2 gallons of concentrate. For hand sanitizer I dilute 1/4 or 1/5, for household cleaning I use a bit stronger, in toilet bowl, sinks, etc.
Really interesting about dandelion root and leukemia.
