This… could be game changing.
Scientists have found a berry that has cancer-fighting properties!!
The berry is from the blushwood tree, and it only grows in Far North Queensland, Australia.
Dr. Glen Boyle led an eight-year-long study on the berry and its amazing ability to kill tumors. He said:
“There’s a compound in the seed – it’s a very, very complicated process to purify this compound and why it’s there in the first place, we don’t know. The compound works by three ways essentially: it kills the tumor cells directly, it cuts off the blood supply and it also activates the body’s own immune system to clean up the mess that’s left behind.
The surprising thing for us and the thing that we don’t see very often is the speed with which this occurs. Usually when you treat a tumor it takes several weeks for it to resolve, but this is very, very rapid.
There’s a purpling of the area, of the tumor itself, and you see that within five minutes and you come back the next day and the tumor’s black and you come back a few days later and the tumor’s fallen off.”
That is absolutely INCREDIBLE!
So far, there aren’t even any side effects!!
The drug has to be directly injected into a tumor so it can only help certain cancers but jeez that’s amazing.

Just ask Oscar the dog (above), who lost his large face tumor just two weeks after treatment! After helping animals beat cancer for years, the berry-based drug is ready for human testing. That’s so super FAB!
Hopefully these scientists can find a way to beat cancer once and for all!
