Abstract

Cancer is responsible for more than 10 million cases worldwide and the numbers are increasing. About 27% of patients undergo spontaneous regression (remission) and healing by unknown mechanism that is likely immunological by activation of natural killer cells. For centuries, herbs and plants have been used for medicinal purposes and as food as well.
