Herbs in cancer treatment
In the 1950's - only 40 years ago - Harry Hoxsey had 17 clinics nationwide, the largest chain of cancer treatment centers in existence, using an herbal formula with apparent success. The American Medical Association (AMA) tried for many years to shut him down, with little success. (They finally bankrupted him with legal expenses, a strategy still used today against heretics). Hoxsey was not an MD, but he was assuredly sincere as he often treated patients without charge, and there are many people today who attest to the efficacy of his formula in curing cancer.

Also in India, herbal medicine practitioners are successfully treating jaundice. When I am at my age is 10, I am affected by jaundice; once I ate something immediately I start vomiting that too not loose one (liquid form) and hard (semi solid form). My parents afraid of herbal medicines because it is not scientifically proved, thus I get conventional treatment for more than 2 months without any improvement. But my body start weakening due to long stand illness, finally without any chance my parents decided to take risk by going to herbal treatment.
I was taken to herbal practitioners they give me an herbal extract (that too only once), immediately after swallowing the herbal extract I vomit it. So my parents asked the herbal practitioners regarding this, they advised once swallowed is enough the medicine to start working don’t worry follow my advices he will be back to health within a week.
On that particular day of treatment, I should not take any oily food, from next day onwards I can eat oil food and there is no restriction. Within a week I become normal, it is truly amazing.
