Speaker: Donald Yance, CN, RH (AHG)  65% of chemotherapeutic agents either come from a plant or have been molecularly compounded based on a plant compound. This presentation reviews the search for cancer drugs in the plant world, taking a detailed look at several plants that have been used to create chemotherapeutic drugs. The discussion includes the difference in action between an isolated constituent and a whole plant extract, and how to combine the whole plant medicine with the chemotherapeutic agent.. We also address metronomic chemotherapy: what it is and why it is often the best option for treatment, even though it is seldom used.
