"We thought we'd be lucky if we found even a single compound with anti-cancer properties, but we were surprised to find so many," said Todd Golub, chief scientific officer and director of the Cancer Program at the Broad, Charles A. Dana Investigator in Human Cancer Genetics at Dana-Farber, and professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School.
The new work appears in the journal Nature Cancer. It is the largest study yet to employ the Broad's Drug Repurposing Hub, a collection that currently comprises more than 6,000 existing drugs and compounds that are either FDA-approved or have been proven safe in clinical trials (at the time of the study, the Hub contained 4,518 drugs). The study also marks the first time researchers screened the entire collection of mostly non-cancer drugs for their anti-cancer capabilities...........
Interesting .....the disulfiram part of the article is the very reason I visited Duke ..When I got there they had a clinical trial up and running. My OC was the lead on this one..I did not qualify at the time being non - met.....however since this time it was shut down . Got a very vague answer from my OC . My guess is her scientific explanation would have been over my pay grade...I am going to ask again with this article in hand just out of curiosity. Blue Skies
Non pharmaceuticals makes a headline - Natural supplements such as herbals are at the root or act as raw material(s) for some of the medicine we consume on a global basis.

I bookmarked this url for future reference, but I need no convincing when it comes to knowing that what we eat and what we consume has a distinct effect on our survival and overall well being.
I'm NOT saying eat your peas and your cancer will be healed.
What I am saying is that certain foods and supplement s can HELP us achieve a healthier lifestyle and affect our ability to fight and manage disease(s).
