Researchers from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute have made an exciting discovery for cancer patients everywhere. A chemical found in a rare plant from Australia has the ability to "eat" cancerous tumors and completely eradicate them within days.
The tumor-eating chemical is found in the seeds of berries of the Blushwood plant. The chemical, which is being called EBC-46, takes three weeks to extract and the process is quite difficult. Experts are even saying that they still don't completely understand why the chemical is in the seed of the Blushwood berry in the first place.
Farming Blushwood in large quantities will also be extremely difficult because it needs the very specific rainforest conditions in North Queensland to thrive. The Atherton Tablelands are currently the only place where the berry grows, but researchers hope to be able to farm the plant someday.
The possible cancer cure is almost too good to be true, and researchers are very optimistic that human trials are not too far on the horizon. So far, treatments using EBC-46 have been used successfully in clinical trials involving pet dogs, cats and horses.
In most cases, a single dose of the treatment using the chemical caused the cancer cells in the tumor to degrade in just four hours. The tumor of one golden retriever named Oscar in the clinical trials on pets disappeared in just six weeks.
The speed of how EBC-46 works is in stark contrast to conventional treatments like radiation and chemotherapy, which severely compromise the body's immune system and take several weeks before the cancer even begins to shrink.
According to Dr. Glen Boylem, who leads the study, the treatment was successful on tumors and melanomas located in the colon, neck and head.

They need to have blushwood plantations being planted

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!
Tamoxifen cures breast cancer, and it is an extract of the Pacific Northwest Yew tree. Tamoxifen exists in both the bark and berries of the tree.
Might as well find another anti-cancer compound in another tree.
Also google images has lots of photos.
actually, i believe that would be the first horseman... pestilence
There also are agents being used in medicine on other diseases that are accidentally found to protect against cancer.
Metformin is a diabetes drug, been around for years. Clinics noticed that diabetics on Metformin got cancer at a lower rate than the general population. Now Metformin is prescribed sometimes as a cancer fighter. Today there are many agents that can be used against cancer, and they can be combined to enhance effect. Pharmacological approaches can be more effective that surgery and radiation.
BULL CRAP. It didn’t help[ my wife who took it for 5 years and then died. It is a crappy medicine. Check out this site.

One of my dearest friends who is currently battling stage 4 MET breast cancer has tamoxifen resistant cancer. Every possible form of tamoxifen hasn’t done a thing for her. It is NOT a cure.
Metformin is also a fertility drug for women with PCOS.
bkm ... Thank You
Better if he gene splice made marajuana deadly if smoked or consumed!!!
Go croak pot head!
It’s in Australia. Do they have idiots there too?
“The possible cancer cure is almost too good to be true,...”
Smilin’ Bob, please pick up the courtesy phone, Smilin’ Bob!?
A war on blushwoods to be declared soon.
LMAO!
Which was also a rare tree and for years it was seldom used because of that.
Then someone found that there was a similar compound in a more common variety of yew tree. Then in the 90's one of those E-VIL pharmaceutical company got a hold of it. And synthesized it. With less side effects.
And it became a main stream treatment.
My mother took Tamoxifen for breast cancer too....til the day she died.
