Thanks
I only really know this stuff because my dad had a pretty aggressive cancer and the only doctor we had access to hated dads guts that much he refused to prescribe pain killers .
Dad had a pretty fantastic garden tho with a few guavas in there , we dried the leaves and stored them , and used them fresh , if you brew that stuff strong enough , it is comparable to morphine , without the other effects of morphine
Interesting thing we found tho , is that Dad lasted 11 years , 10 1/2 were really good years too , where if he had have gotten hands on the usual pain relief at the time , oral morphine , that stuff kills the stomach lining and makes the patient unable to absorb anything like food pretty much , and death follows shortly after . Takes around 3 months after the patient starts taking it ... or so the doctor told us when he was talking to us while doing the death certificate .
There is other stuff like cardoon he grew for liver cleaning .. cancer leaves a lot of crud in the system , and the liver is one of the main filters , keep the filter clean and healthy and the system can function longer .. eat the leaves as greens is all it takes . But that is more of a systems maintenance thing than a short term fix .
Edited to add :
One thing that is seriously easy to get and not mistake is go to the supermarket and get ginger root , use it to make a tea , just slice up a handfull of the stuff , and put in hot water , let it cool put in the fridge .
Its another anti inflamitory .. it works for stuff as arthritis , sore muscles , aches etc ... just drink it , you cant overdose really , youll just pee more ... ginger is the same stuff you eat in ginger bread , or in cakes ..
regular ginger as in crystalised ( cooked in sugar solution ) we give to kids to eat when they are feeling carsick .. regular ginger root dried and ground is often the main ingredient in anti car sick pills anyway .
Wild ginger , the kind we got growing in QLD works , well I have tried it , it works as good as regular stuff .
