PHY906…a soothing way to treat side effects of chemo…

Did you know that more than 1 million people in the USA get cancer each year?  Heartbreaking..

With the ugly diagnosis comes tests, x-rays, chemotherapy, surgeries…and then the severe side effects begin to take a toll on your body.

But what if you could soothe some of those nasty chemo side effects?  What if you could have relief or provide relief for your loved one?   Thanks to an 1800 year old Chinese herbal mixture, help is on the way!

Reformulated in the US,  Huang Qin Tang, is an ancient brew that can treat the severe gastrointestinal symptoms of chemo, such as diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, fever, headache, IBS symptoms, and Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Thankfully, Yung-Chi Cheng, Ph.D., Henry Bronson  Professor of Pharmacology at the Yale University School of Medicine, began looking at ways to decrease the side effects of chemo.  He and his team treated cancerous mice with chemotherapy, that not only shrunk the tumors in their intestinal lining, but a few days later actually restored the damage!

“Irinotecan reduces tumor growth by itself but if you combine with PHY906, it will further reduce tumor growth,” said lead author Yung-Chi Cheng at the Yale University School of Medicine in the United States.  By itself, PHY906 does not decrease tumor growth, it has to be used in combination with chemotherapy.” (via)

 

This is a mixture of four different herbs which are Chinese peonies (Paeonia lactiflora Pall), skullcap root (Scutellaria baicalensis Geori), fruit from the Chinese date tree (Ziziphus jujuba Mill) and Chinese licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch) .  A grouping of 62 different chemicals used together (at precise ratios) to be used alongside chemotherapy treatment.

 

Currently this drug is being developed by PhytoCeutica, Inc.  It is still being evaluated in clinical trials and difficult to find in the US, so hold tight.  HELP IS ON THE WAY!

 

Talk to your doctor about PHY906 and see if this ancient brew is right for you!
