A study conducted at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Windsor in Canada has produced surprising results that could mean new hope for cancer patients.

Namely, as reported by Natural News, this study showed that dandelion root effectively “kills” cancer-infected cells without having a harmful effect on other cells in the body.

Scientists have found that dandelion root even outperforms chemotherapy by completely destroying cancer cells. Furthermore, this plant offers other significant health benefits: it acts as a diuretic, stimulates bile secretion, lowers cholesterol, cleanses the liver, and helps with allergies.

Dandelion is rich in important vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, iron, calcium, potassium, vitamin B6, thiamine, riboflavin, folic acid and magnesium.

Moreover, it has been known for years that 30 g of dandelion leaves contain as much as 195% of the recommended daily dose of vitamin K and 102% of the recommended daily dose of vitamin A
