Plant derivative attacks the roots of leukemia - parthenolide - cure

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Do you think that the parthenolide will be a natural cure for CML?

" " A daisy-like plant known as Feverfew or Bachelor's Button, found in

gardens across North America, is the source of an agent that kills

human leukemia stem cells like no other single therapy, scientists at

the University of Rochester Medical Center's P. Wilmot Cancer

Center have discovered. Their investigation is reported in the online

edition of the journal, Blood. " "
