The most informative website, I would go to if I had cancer, is https://www.cancertutor.com/index.html This home page has a huge amount of info. It even has endorsed clinics.
Thank you.
IP6 with Inositol and Cats Claw is one I took in abundance to cure my own cancer.....
Oh good. That's good to know. Actually I thought that IP6 was already a form of inositol. None of the info websites say anything about blood thinning; but I saw a picture of a bottle label that indicated it did thin the blood. Do you remember if this is true. I'm concerned; because I take nattokinase which is also somewhat of a blood thinner. These things make my internal hemorrhoids (piles) bleed. Aspirin does too.
I don't recall reading that. I'd research it with 'blood thinner' in the subject line and see what u get. Also go to naturalnews.com and use that search engine... good luck..

As far as an herb goes, you might want to read up on Lemon Grass. This was part of an email sent to me, but I'm just touching on it now & haven't checked it's validity.

Fresh Lemon Grass Drink Causes Apoptosis to Cancer Cells
By Allison Kaplan Sommer April 02, 2006
It all began when researchers at Ben Gurion University of the Negev discovered last year that the lemon aroma in herbs like lemon grass kills cancer cells in vitro, while leaving healthy cells unharmed. The research team was led by Dr. Rivka Ofir and Prof. Yakov Weinstein, incumbent of the Albert Katz Chair in Cell-Differentiatio n and Malignant Diseases, from the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at BGU.
Citral is the key component that gives the lemony aroma and taste in several herbal plants such as lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus), melissa (Melissa officinalis) and verbena (Verbena officinalis. )
According to Ofir, the study found that citral causes cancer cells to 'commit suicide: using apoptosis, a mechanism called programmed cell death.' A drink with as little as one gram of lemon grass contains enough citral to prompt the cancer cells to commit suicide in the test tube.
The BGU investigators checked the influence of the citral on cancerous cells by adding them to both cancerous cells and normal cells that were grown in a petri dish. The quantity added in the concentrate was equivalent to the amount contained in a cup of regular tea using one gram of lemon herbs in hot water. While the citral killed the cancerous cells, the normal cells remained unharmed.
The findings were published in the scientific journal Planta Medica, which highlights research on alternative and herbal remedies. Shortly afterwards, the discovery was featured in the popular Israeli press.
Why does it work? Nobody knows for certain, but the BGU scientists have a theory. 'In each cell in our body, there is a genetic program which causes programmed cell death. When something goes wrong, the cells divide with no control and become cancer cells.. In normal cells, when the cell discovers that the control system is not operating correctly - for example, when it recognizes that a cell contains faulty genetic material following cell division - it triggers cell death,' explains Weinstein. 'This research may explain the medical benefit of these herbs.'
The success of their research led them to the conclusion that herbs containing citral may be consumed as a preventative measure against certain cancerous cells. As they learned of the BGU findings in the press, many physicians in Israel began to believe that while the research certainly needed to be explored further, in the meantime it would be advisable for their patients, who were looking for any possible tool to fight their condition, to try to harness the cancer-destroying properties of citral.
