Other Plants and Herbs

Many specifics about anticanc plants and extracts worldwide are compiled in Chapter 3, Seetion 3.3, and in the appendices of Hoffman (1999a). We add periphaal information here. Prominent names of persons involved in collecting this anticancer information include Jonathan Hartwell, of course, plus James A. Duke, Geoffrey A. Cordell (alkaloids), Edward S. Ayensu, Robert A. DeFillips, John Heinerman, and Ralph Moss, to name a vray few. 

Of special motion is Ralph Moss s informative Herbs Against Cancer History and Controversy, which has chapt on diletmnas in other countries as well as the United States. It does not try to be all inclusive, not having a chapter on either laetrile or creosote birsh (chaparral), for irrstance, which may or may not be referred to as herbs. 

In Heinerman (1984), there is a chapter about specific herbs for cancer from around the world. The following is an ovawiew of some of that information. For further details the reader is referred to Dr. Heinerman s book. (John Heinerman, 1984. Out of print. Photocopies at one time could be ordered from the author at P.O. Box 11471, Salt Fake City UT, (801)521-8824. Of course, there is Interhbrary Loan, and used books arc available via the Intranet from other soirrees, e.g., Amazon.com.) 

The reminder, again, is that the designator anticancer does not signify a cure — only the possibihty, which may be remote or nonexistent. Adverse, even fatal, side effects are possible.
