This plant allegedly makes cancer cells disintegrate within 48 hours

Back in 2009 a group of Canadian researchers from the University of Windsor in Ontario started looking at an abundant weed as a cure for cancer.
Accordingly an oncologist came across something quite interesting with some cancer patients.
Believe it or not the plant we are talking about is the common dandelion!
Pamela Ovadje a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Windsor has done an extensive work on the topic. She dealt with the anticancer properties of dandelion and similar extracts.
According to Ovadje
We had information from an oncologist a collaborator here in Windsor who had patients that showed improvement after taking dandelion root tea. And so with a phone call we decided to start studying what was in this tea that made patients respond to it so we started digging up dandelions.
Though she was quite suspicious in the beginning not because it was an allnatural source. I figured dandelions are everywhere and if there was something to it people would have found this out already she explained.
We should be glad when hearing that the researchers have started conducting studies on dandelion root extract and its effects on cancer as the results are more than amazing!
Since the commencement of this project we have been able to successfully assess the effect of a simple water extract of dandelion root in various human cancer cell types in the lab and we have observed its effectiveness against human Tcell leukemia chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and pancreatic and colon cancers with no toxicity to noncancer cells. Furthermore these efficacy studies have been confirmed in animal models mice that have been transplanted with human colon cancer cells.
In February 2015 dandelion root extract was approved for human trials.

Now it is in Phase 1 trials for endstage bloodrelated cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma.
Dr. Siyaram Pandey professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Windsor and principal research investigator for the project claims dandelion root extract has quite a good potential to cause a death of cancer cells.
How Does it Work?
This extract causes cancer cells to go through apoptosis a natural cell process where a cell activates an intracellular death program because it isnt needed anymore. In brief dandelion root extract causes the cancer cell to commit su!c!de without affecting the healthy ones.
Two cells perform apoptosis which is far better than chemotherapy drugs which kill one healthy cell for every 5 to 10 cancer cell the dandelion extract.
It is important to mention that the concentration of this extract is much higher than the one which is currently available.
Even though trials are still underway this extract may be the future of cancer treatment!
