Anticancer Tea Brainstorm Challenge - Cancercured TEA

[Guest guest]

Greetings all,

We all know that there is ample evidence---from folklore (Chinese medicine and

Ayurvedic medicine), current anecdotes, and recent scientific studies---for

synergistic anticancer effects of plants. Rather than rehash the traditional

formulas (i.e. Essaic tea), I wish to propose that we collective create a

" Cancercured Tea " . I'm not sure at what point there are diminishing returns in

using multiple plants, but for the sake of kicking off the discussion, I'm

limiting my contribution to 5 plants. The main criteria is that the " tea " should

be relatively easy to make for the common person and have some verifiable

history of use or scientific rationale for inclusion.

My recipe (no proportions suggested at this stage, just the references):

Willow Leaf

(http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0000178)

Ginger root (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17706603?dopt=Abstract)

Green Tea (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12906756)

Habanero chili  (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16608395)

juice (not heated)

(Carica) Papaya leaf (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19961915)

juice (not heated)

I selected this group because I'm interested in combining the effects of

attacking specific cancer vulnerabilities (tNOX cell surface protein found on

all cancers) and capitalizing on novel pathways.

What other combinations would you find intriguing to use?
