Windsor Ontario an Italian guy had stage 3 or 4 cancer, he refused any treatment from the healthcare system. He treated himself by drinking dandelion tea, a couple of months later he went back to the doctors, the doctor could not believe that the cancer had shrunk and was almost gone. This story made it into the local newspaper, they said the university of Windsor would be doing studies on dandelions, after getting a heck of a lot of research money, and 12 years later still no findings on this research. I guess the doctors telling us to drink dandelion tea is not a money maker for big pharma, and no back handers for the doctors.
