Scientists have identified a compound in the fruit of the native blushwood shrub that appears to "liquefy and destroy cancer with no side-effects", according to latest research.

Dr Gordon said a single dose injection of the extract, known as EBC-46, had been effective in 50 critically ill dogs and about a dozen cats and horses.
"This is proving to be something exceptional," she said.
"The tumour literally liquefies.
"There is a rapid knock-down of the tumour, it disintegrates within 24 hour" http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,,26677869-3102,00.html

Wow, I hope this amount to more than just hype. Sure looks promising at this time. One of the things I like about this is lack of side effects. Another is the rapid and obvious response of the treated tumors. I'll will be keeping an eye on this one and wishing for the best.
