Doing some research on cancer... a possible worthwhile supplemet to regular procedure

Almost everybody has a family member or somebody they care about with cancer so I was doing research for my Grandfather and decided to pass it on.

Goji berries/Wolfberry-Nutrients inside
11 essential and 22 trace dietary minerals
18 amino acids
6 essential vitamins
8 polysaccharides and 6 monosaccharides
5 unsaturated fatty acids, including the essential fatty acids, linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid
beta-sitosterol and other phytosterols
5 carotenoids, including beta-carotene and zeaxanthin (below), lutein, lycopene and cryptoxanthin, a xanthophyll
numerous phenolic pigments (phenols) associated with antioxidant properties


General Information

Studies
1)
Seventy nine people in advanced stages of cancer were treated with the drug LAK/IL-2 combined with Lycium Barbarum polysaccharides (LBP). From the 75 evaluable patients, regression of the following cancers was observed: malignant melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and malignant hydrothorax. The response rate of patients treated with LAK/IL-2 and LBP was 40.9% while that of patients treated only with LAK/IL-2 was 16.1%.

2)
Cancer Institute, Ningxia Medical College, Yinchuan, ChinaRadiosensitizing effects (becoming more sensitive to radiation treatment) of the Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) were observed in mice with lung cancer.
