Topical application of saffron extract (100 mg/kg body wt) inhibited two-stage initiation/promotion dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced skin carcinogenesis and oral administration of saffron extract in the same dose restricted 20-methylchloanthrene (MCA)-induced soft tissue sarcomas in mice.
Later, it was demonstrated that saffron extract significantly prolonged (almost 3-fold) the life spans of cisplatin-treated (2 mg/kg body wt) mice and partially prevented the decrease in body weight, hemoglobin levels, and leukocyte counts.

Oral administration of saffron extract (200 mg/kg body wt) induced a dose-dependent inhibition of the growth in mice of ascite tumors derived from sarcoma-180 (S-180), Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC), Dalton's lymphoma ascites (DLA), and significantly increased (2- to 3-fold) life spans of treated tumor-bearing mice.
Later, these authors reported that oral administration of saffron extract significantly suppressed the growth of DLA and S-180 tumor cells...
JudyDowell - January 27, 2010 I was diagnosed with stage 4E Mantle cell lymphoma on Feb 1, 2007. I was given 6 months to 18 months to live with or without chemo bu the UC Ohio Oncology dept. I took DCA from May 2007 until Oct.2007 since I had no hope at that point. My bone marrow was 50% compromised with lymphoma and I had huge nodes throughout my body in my abdomen and pelvic areas, I had severe bone pain (nerves on the sheath of the bones caused from swelling within the bones), I had tenitis, severe sounds of chain saw like sound, or like mini bikes, that kept me awake most all night so a lack of sleep too. I had numbness on the left side of my face and jaw bone pain which was severe. I had night and day sweats. I had edema around my waist. BUT, once i began taking the DCA, all the symptoms went away. By the 4th month being on DCA, I ran out and couldn’t find more. The DCA did cause a minor amount of neuropothy in my fingers and toes, but as soon as I went off of the DCA, the neuropothy went away. I had also been taking B vitamine to counteract the numbness, which helped very little. HOWEVER, Vinchristine, used in R-CHOP, also caused neuropothy, only problem with vinchristine is, neuropothy doesn’t go away after you stop taking it, the sensory nerves are permanantly damaged and the nerves have to grow back and that takes years. DCA on the otherhand, the neuropothy goes away as soon as the DCA is out of your system. I went through R-CHOP, stem cell harvesting, and extensive chemo, then a BMT and was released from the Hospital on May 20th, 09 Cancer free. Amazingly, the bone marrow that previously was 50% compromised had been cleared and there was no lymphoma in my bone marrow after the 4 months of taking the DCA. When I could not get DCA in November 2007, I noticed a node in my neck, the cancer had begun to grow again so I had another bone marrow aspiration and my bone marrow had no lymphoma. The DCA cleared that up, eliminated all my symptoms, and then I went through the BMT to clean up the rest of the mantle cell lymphoma stage 4. I am a success story! I am today cancer free and a true believer in DCA. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it. Do you work for the FDA? I’m sure any oncologist with a heart would love to use DCA but the Stage 3 human trials are so expensive, no one would be able to make their money back. Shame on them. Shame on Big Pharmeceuticle companies and the oncologists killing needlessly people who are too weak for extensive chemo, our elderly, our young. Shame on them! DCA does work. I am a human and I tried it, and it worked. Isn’t it just unnerving that a simple and inexpensive product like DCA can do so much good and all because of the FDA, people at the end of their rope are not permitted to self treat with such a wonderful chemical. You can’t get high on it, there is nothing recreational about it at all, just the possibility of living. Staying alive was my first priority so I used it, and I did live. Even my oncologist that refused to believe in DCA back in 2007 admitted to me that I was definately onto something. Well, do you think? He gave me 6 months to live feb. 01, 2007, and here it is Jan. 2010. I’m alive.

Thanks for the info on saffron, I am just getting onto the alternative medicine trail. I have heard of almonds also quite effective in the stop or spread of cancer. It looks to me like a lot of it has to do with ph levels. A healthy ph level is between 6.5-7.5, kind of a balance thing.Tumeric is another spice that still is quite cheap and has a world of benefits. Not sure if you are a coast to coast listener or not, but they have guests on quite often that have done a lot of studies into alternative medicine. Again thanks for the info S&F for ya

It is some expensive stuff. $12.50 a gram for the Spanish variety. The price will only go up if demand grows. Check out the link.

There is a reason behind saffron being so expensive I see! maybe that's the point all along. If you can not make a substance illegal like "hemp" then you make it so expensive that no one will really use any amount that will help you. This then makes the cure unattainable. maybe this has been the answer all along. I wonder what else is considered unattainable, that will actually cure people of cancer or other diseases?edit on 9-1-2012 by theclutch because: (no reason given)

I had a "growth" under my nipple that was quite painfull but was not considered cancer. It was rather large, (well it felt that way.) Anyways, I had this uncomfortable mass there for almost 3 months. went to doctors (yadda yadda bla bla blaaaa) they just wanna watch it and do blood tests and mamogram. well nothing from their end.
so I tried marijuana oil. put a small drop on end of toothpick and dissolved it in mouth. Did this for 2 weeks and BAM! Gone. the mass just went away. I never changed any diet or exercise or anything else. So, my conclusion is......it works. no mass anymore.
