This plant destroys cancer cells

by

  • Another study showed a polysaccharide from P. tenuifolia induced apoptosis in sarcoma (S180) cells in vitro and in mice, with immunomodulation effects.

  • In addition, extracts from the roots show anti-inflammatory activity (which is relevant because inflammation is tied to cancer risk/ progression).

So: there is laboratory evidence that certain isolated compounds or extracts of P. tenuifolia can affect cancer‐cell behaviours (growth, apoptosis, autophagy) in models.

⚠️ What the research doesn’t show (yet)

  • These studies are preclinical only (cells and animals). No convincing large scale human trials exist showing that P. tenuifolia cures cancer or reliably treats cancer in people.

  • Extracts used are purified polysaccharides or compounds, under controlled lab conditions — not simply “take the herb and it kills cancer cells in your body”.

  • “Destroys cancer cells” is an overly broad claim — in the lab, yes there is evidence of cancer cell suppression, but this does not automatically translate to safe or effective cancer therapy in humans.
