Dandelion has been used medicinally since ancient times for its various health benefits. However, the most powerful benefit to come out of this common weed is something that medical researchers are super excited to have “discovered” – which is its potential to cure cancer!
This potent root builds up blood and immune system- cures prostate, lung, and other cancers better than chemotherapy. According to Dr. Carolyn Hamm from the Windsor Regional Cancer Centre in Ontario, Canada, dandelion root extract was the only thing that helped with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. This form of cancer typically affects older adults.
John Di Carlo, who at the time was a 72-year old cancer patient at the hospital, was sent home to live out his final days after all efforts failed to treat his leukemia. He told CBC News that he was advised to drink dandelion root tea as a last ditch effort. Perhaps it should have been the first option offered in his treatment plan, as his cancer went into remission only four months later! His doctors attributed this to the dandelion tea that he drank.
Recent studies have shown that dandelion root extract can work very quickly on cancer cells, as was evidenced in Di Carlo’s case. Within 48 hours of coming into contact with the extract, cancerous cells begin to disintegrate. The body happily replaces these with healthy new cells.
Further studies have concluded that the extract also has anti-cancer benefits for other types of cancer, including breast, colon, prostate, liver, and lung cancer! Dandelion root tea may not taste as pleasant as other teas, but it’s certainly more pleasant than living with the side effects of chemotherapy or radiation treatments.
Traditional cancer therapies harm the immune system by killing all cells, even the healthy ones. Dandelion root has the opposite effect – it actually helps boost your immune system and only targets the unhealthy cells. It’s definitely a win-win situation!
Dr. Hamm warns, however, that dandelion root extract can negatively impact the effects of chemotherapy. It’s always best to consult with your doctor, and let them know any and all supplements or foods that you are consuming on a regular basis.
Even if you don’t have cancer, eating the greens or drinking dandelion tea can still give you great health! For example, the roots and stems of dandelion can help fight diabetes. It does this by stimulating the pancreas to produce insulin, which in turn stabilizes the spikes in blood sugar levels.
If you suffer from digestive issues or need to get rid of toxins, dandelion tea may be just what the herbal medicine doctor ordered! The liver aids the digestive system by producing bile, and it also filters the blood of chemicals and other impurities. According to Dr. Axe, the vitamins and minerals found in dandelions can help cleanse the liver and keep it in tip top shape. So by supporting your liver, you are actually creating better health!
Dandelions are also high in antioxidants and vitamin C, which is crucial to helping your body fight off infections, such as the bacteria that cause urinary tract infections. If you suffer from frequent bouts of UTI, drinking dandelion tea on a daily basis may prevent it from happening ever again.
Dandelion greens are bitter, but completely edible – as long as you get it from an area that hasn’t been sprayed with chemicals. The greens are rich in fiber, which is great for intestinal health! High fiber diets have also been shown to reduce the risk of obesity, heart disease, and irritable bowel syndrome.
The greens are also high in vitamin A – just one cup contains 100% of your recommended daily allowance. Vitamin A is critical for maintaining healthy vision, and it can also prevent premature aging of the skin.
Since you probably aren’t likely to eat an entire cup of bitter greens on its own, you can incorporate it into a morning smoothie. Just blend it up with your favorite fruit, which will offset the bitter taste.

Wow – who knew there were so many health benefits to a “weed” that’s growing out in my front yard? Its ability to cure cancer has me in complete awe!

100% of people that drank water have died we should ban water
It,s not the water….. it,s the fact that they eat food
So are people open to this? There are usually some angry responses about how only conventional medicine can cure cancer and anything else is unproven and misleading, and ‘Facts ‘ which ignore an increasing number of so called Miracle stories. You have to decide for yourself
If you conserve with vodka (50gramm/0.5 v , using only flowers) and wait for few days, you’ll make tincture for external (only), when you have sore joints, swelling, pain in back or legs, gout.
God put these plants out there for us to use them. We just have to figure out which one goes to which particular malady.
They are uncle. You didn’t read did u. It’s dandelion 🙂
If this is proven and true,,why is it not head line news???

There is no incentive in doing research unless it is made for a pharmaceutical drug, herbal medicine is researched only when it is profitable… I see it over and over again, a lot of drugs that are made in pill came from natural environment like aspirin, penicillin, digitoxin, etc. Until then it is anecdotal or “natural” medicine, “let thy food be thy medicine! “
See my comment above
When more people catch on they will find a way to ban it.

Kristi Jones, yes I read, you didn’t comprehend what I said.
Buahahahaha! I hadn’t had my coffee yet I see now!
50gram petals: .5 vol vodka?
There’s no profit, if it was proven and put on the market, image how many hospitals, and clinics that would lose big dollars coming from everywhere, no telling how many wings of hospitals that are devoted to cancer and cancer research. Greed is the driven force as to why they say there is no cure
Having had herbalist treatment at exorbitant prices it seems to me just another way for someone to make money for themselves. The treatment made no difference to my problem by the way.
yes. wait for 5 days. before using tincture, heat up a little (cold is unpleasantly and not so effective), chafe feetlegs and keep in warm (for exapmle dress socks or wrap in bath towel) you can also use drinking alcohol (ethanol) instead of vodka. By the way, if you have pain articulations of foot, you can also made the same but using burdock. burdock (leaves, stalk and root) , cut it, conserved with vodka or ethanol. heat up a little, damp and dress socks, after dress cellophane packets, after other pair of socks for a night.
Derryck Wallace cruel,immoral and greedy
by the way, if you have pain in knee pit. Paint knee pit with honey, before put leaf of fresh burdock (give fresh burdock leaf a dip in hot water for few seconds (20 sec. burdock leaf must to become soften), put warm leaf on knee pit with painted honey, wrap knee in towel, then cling film. It;s better to do for a night, because knee needs peace… it helps during 3-5 days.
when you wrap any part of body in cling film, it shoudn’t be wrapped tight).
Ok so why isn’t gvt using this to treat people……………….obv cos they make way to much money with cancer charities. I always believed there’s a cure for cancer & aids but it’s being kept from people to control population & keep money coming in. Just my opinion
No way would the gvt publish “Yes we found the cure for cancer”
Agreed that plants may cure some but be careful because some may be allergic e.g. If I take penicillins I will die 🙂
