Fight Against Leukemia & Cancer With Different Herbs/Vegetables (Not Medical Advice)

In this report, I’ll cover some of my findings from professionals in the field of natural herbs to help fight against leukemia, not necessarily cure it. Herbal remedies have a long history of helping to fight illness.
The following two tables list herbs with an antileukemic effect from an alternative medicine journal in various fields of study (Saedi, T, e.t. al, 2014).
