How to support with natural agents?
Please see some natural agents that I have been studying and some of my findings. Please note the terms and conditions on my page when reading these. I don’t proclaim to make any health claims.
Some perspectives suggest that deficiencies in essential minerals may contribute to many chronic health conditions. The body depends on a broad range of minerals to function properly, as they support the activity of vitamins, enzymes, and the immune system. Without sufficient mineral levels, these processes can be impaired.
Certain minerals are considered especially important and are more commonly lacking in modern diets. Iodine is often highlighted as one that many people may not be getting enough of.
I think understanding natural agents is key to cancer prevention.

WILD REMEDIES:
Please see some below and good source of further in depth information is Wild Foods
Wild Garlic comes up in early spring and has some brilliant anti-inflammatory and immune supporting properties
Nettle tea has outstanding health benefits and can be a great addition to your morning and evening routine. We can use these across the year.
Animal and cell studies reported that nettle extracts increased p53 and caspase-3 (tumor-suppressor and apoptosis markers) and reduced tumor growth markers such as Ki-67 (see study)
These come through late summer and early autumn and are very plentiful in the UK. They offer a great pesticide free fruit during this time.
They are rich in bioactive compounds such as anthocyanins, ellagic acid, vitamin C, and polyphenols.
Cow parsley is great for dishes and provides great you with some brilliant properties for wellness.
Cos parsley has attracted some scientific interest for potential anti-cancer properties, mainly due to compounds such as deoxypodophyllotoxin, flavonoids, and other polyphenols found in the plant. Laboratory studies have shown that deoxypodophyllotoxin can inhibit cancer cell proliferation, disrupt cell division (mitosis), and trigger apoptosis (programmed cancer cell death) by interfering with microtubule formation in rapidly dividing cells.
Be very careful with identification though and consult a professional website.
Cleavers (Galium aparine), also known as goosegrass or sticky weed, is an annual plant in the Rubiaceae family that grows widely across Europe and the UK in hedgerows, gardens, and woodland edges. The plant contains several bioactive compounds including flavonoids, iridoid glycosides, phenolic acids, and tannins, which are associated with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. In traditional herbal medicine, cleavers has been used as a diuretic and lymphatic tonic, helping to promote urine production and support the movement of lymphatic fluid. It has also been used to support skin health, with extracts sometimes applied to minor skin irritations.
Ash
Ash bark has been employed as a bitter tonic and astringent, and is said to be valuable as an antiperiodic. On account of its astringency, it has been used, in decoction, extensively in the treatment of intermittent fever and ague, as a substitute for Peruvian bark
