Scientists have identified a compound in the fruit of the native blushwood shrub that appears to "liquefy and destroy cancer with no side-effects", according to latest research.

Found deep in the remnants of a 130 million-year-old rainforest, the fruit extract may yet hold the secret antidote to Australia's No.1 killer disease.


Thought it was an interesting read. I don't want to get my hopes up, but if this works and it's capable of being mass produced, we could have finally cured cancer...

Nice stuff. The crazy part is that I had watched the exact same movie. Some rain forest shit, some fruit, etc...

if people just changed their lifestyle for the better, they wouldn't get cancer in the first place

but the food that is being produced and the imbalances of humans in mainstream society makes them candidates for disease
