Milk thistle and cancer
Mary thistle has properties for the treatment of cancer, due to its high content of silibinin, with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and liver-protective action. Silibinin from milk thistle has also shown inhibition of colon cancer tumor stem cells and the ability to iinhibit non-small cell lung cancer metastases.
Ketogenic diet and brain tumor
