Scientists decided to explore an alternative method of treating cancer, which has long been exciting the minds of both doctors and patients: the use of dandelion roots. Another study confirmed its effectiveness in one case: against chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. This is a disease that mainly affects older people. A benign bone marrow tumor usually does not make itself felt for many years.

According to scientists from the Windsor Regional Cancer Center in Canada, dandelion root extract actually helps with this disease. The reason to consider the common dandelion as a treatment for cancer was the amazing story of the healing of 72-year-old John Di Carlo, who was sent home from the hospital in the final stages of the disease.

He told CBC News that someone told him to drink dandelion root tea, which supposedly cures cancer. And it turned out to be true. The doctors were extremely surprised when they saw that their hopeless patient was suddenly on the mend. The cancer went into remission four months later. A study found that dandelion root extract began to destroy cancer cells within 48 hours.

Dandelion root tea destroys affected cancer cells within 48 hours, and the study found that no healthy cells were harmed during this period of time. It is believed that continued treatment with dandelion root, as prescribed and under the supervision of a physician, can eliminate carcinogenic cells in a patient, and as a result of this unexpected result, the team of experts received additional support to continue their research on this plant.
