Sloan Kettering’s Herb Website is a quality web site and perhaps my fellow prostate cancer sufferers would benefit from a visit, as indeed, would anyone seeking to enhance their knowledge of cancer treatment issues. Click on the link below to go directly to the Sloan-Kettering web site…

(Then go to link in left column “SEARCH ABOUT HERBS” for A – Z index of herbs))

A very interesting site which appears to give a well balanced overview of many of the most popular herbs, their uses and their limitations.

I have only looked at those herbs with which I am reasonably familiar and note for your information that the following are commonly used in the treatment of prostate cancer.

Zyflamend, Bovine Cartilage, Cranberry, Flax Seed, Graviola, Green Tea, Lycopene, Maca, Melatonin, Noni, Sea Cucumber, Agaricus (Sun Mushroom), Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Spirulina and Ashwagandha.

It is worth mentioning here that as with all medicines, conventional or alternative, I am most careful of potential bad outcomes related to conflict with pre-existing medical conditions and/or other products. The Sloan-Ketting site makes note of such issues.
