this is old news... I have been taking chapparal since six months after I was diagnosed with CML and this was a few years ago.

It's definitely helped me unless it's a coincidence. I never told and haven't told my oncologist that I've been taking it but also I take it two to three weeks straight and take a week and a half break to cleanse the liver and give it a rest.

Technically you should do this with all and many of herbal supplements (dietary supplements) even prescription medicine but why would doctors tell you that? The Food and Drug administration wouldn't be making as much money as it does. Partially the reason.

Up until a couple months ago I thought the U.S. made chapparal illegal and notified all retailers to take it off the shelves by a certain date. WHich is when my aunt purchased in bulk from Arizona over the internet. Since then I never bothered checking it out on the net. But I guess it looks like it's still legal. GOod for me and others.

As I don't have tumors being that my cancer is a blood cancer, I've been told continuously that the cancer cells appear to be overcome rather quickly compared to someone else my age doing the same treatment. Little does he know I take this herbal supplement. Which convinces me that this works.

Who knows!



A good friend of mine is a medical researcher at UBC and is also family practitioner. He has always said whenever something is pulled by the US or Canada and it's herbal, it's either because it doesn't mix well with a common prescription drug or is better than it's perscribed counterpart.

"A Barefoot Doctor's Manual" is an excellent book describing a myriad of herbal remedies. It was originally distributed by the Chines government so that the outlying villages could take care of there sick without the need for government help.
