The About Herbs section of MSKCC.org (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center) discusses the benefits and risks of more than 200 herbs and supplements.
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, a leading cancer treatment and research institution, publishes MSKCC.org. The website states that experts, including a pharmacist and a botanicals expert, keep About Herbs up to date.
Information consists of an A-Z Index with information about each herb or supplement for patients (including potential uses, potential interactions, and benefits and side effects) and for healthcare professionals (including clinical summaries and mechanism of action) and FAQs (such as questions about supplements for cancer prevention and treatment and about herb-drug interactions).
Tips for use:
– Search the database by a symptom or condition, such as cough or sore throat, to find herbs relevant to that symptom or condition. Searching for key word cancer pulls up entries for herbs and supplements purportedly used for cancer or to prevent cancer.
