If there’s one word in the English language that has the power to stop anyone in their tracks, it’s “cancer”. This shadowy disease can impact your life and the lives of everyone you know, even if you don’t have it.
My grandmother died of cancer when I was 16 years old and it hit me like a bolt of lightning. Her passing shook us as a family and still hurts to think about today.
Without knowing the specifics, I can safely say that you’ve endured a similar loss in your circle. After all, it’s now estimated that 1 in 3 of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime.
According to modern medicine, there’s still no “cure”. But what about native medicine?
Is it possible that the world’s forests hold remedies that pharmaceutical companies and Western doctors have yet to learn about?
In the years since creating The Sacred Science film, the team and I have been searching beyond the Amazon, exploring other herbs used by indigenous people around the world to treat a variety of illnesses, including cancer.
Below, I’d like to share three promising plants with you that are currently being studied for their anti-cancer effects.
To be clear, this piece is for your research only. This is not medical advice. Our goal is to create an ongoing dialogue within the Sacred Science community, where hopeful new natural remedies and treatments can be openly discussed.
3 Promising Native Remedies For Cancer
MORINGA: (Moringa oleifera)
In many African languages, this plant is called nebedaye or “never-die. It’s a tough, drought-resistant tree with documented medicinal use that dates back to 2000 B.C. In fact, practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine have said that this tree can be used to prevent and treat over 300 diseases! Considering it provides more than 30 natural anti-inflammatory agents and contains more than 40 different antioxidants, it’s no wonder that it’s referred to as the Miracle Plant.
If that’s not enough, all parts of the plant can be used for medicinal purposes, including the root, seeds, flowers, bark, and leaves. And compared to naturally healthy foods that might already be in your kitchen or on your shopping list, Moringa leaves contain:
-7 times the vitamin C found in oranges
-4 times the calcium in milk
-2 times the protein of yogurt
-4 times the vitamin A in carrots
-25 times the iron in spinach
-3 times the potassium in bananas
According to a study in The International Journal of Molecular Sciences the extract from Moringa leaves showed greater cytotoxicity for tumor cells than for normal cells, strongly suggesting that it could be an ideal anticancer therapeutic candidate specific to cancer cells. Furthermore, both hot water and other extracts from Moringa leaves inhibited the viability of acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia and hepatocellular carcinoma cells, without any toxic effects against normal mononuclear cells.
BLOODROOT – (Sanguinaria Canadensis)
The initial healing properties of this plant, known as “red puccoon” were learned from American Indians living near Lake Superior on the border of the United States and Canada. Bloodroot was and still is revered for its root sap, that looks and feels a lot like actual blood.
The crimson exudate from its roots is called “war paint” in some Native American cultures and it has shown anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties in animals, indicating that it may halt the development of tumors. It’s a primary ingredient in a formula known as Black Salve, which many proclaim is an effective anti-skin cancer poultice. Applied topically, bloodroot destroys cells and skin tissue, and therefore must be used with extreme caution and under expert care.
Recent research also points to the effectiveness of Sanguinarine, an alkaloid found in Bloodroot, as an anti-cancer agent, which works in various ways to inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
While its anti-cancer properties are promising, the wrong dosage of bloodroot can be dangerous, causing inflammatory and painful reactions.
According to the NYU Langone Medical Center, “In large doses, it causes nausea and vomiting, and even at lower dosages it has been reported to cause peculiar side effects in some people, such as tunnel vision and pain in the feet.”
This herb should only be used under the supervision of a medical professional.
CANNABIS: (Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica)
Like so many other plants that pop up close to where they are needed to help humans, this “weed” pretty much grows anywhere, and like most other overlooked weeds, can help with countless illnesses. But due to its psychoactive properties and the “War on Drugs” in the west, you may have been convinced to think otherwise.
Its potential as part of an integrated approach to the healing of cancer was first documented in 1974, but things have been back and forth since, according to the NORML Foundation. Here is a brief Review of Recent Research on Medical Marijuana over the past 15 years.
At a basic level, the plant contains THC and Cannabinoids that have antioxidant properties, which help against cancer. They also bind specifically to receptors in our body – THC with the nervous system, and Cannabinol with the immune system. Essentially, this unique binding is what helps to keep everything running smoothly inside, or getting it back to normal, when there’s a threat from the outside or from within. To learn more, here’s a great introduction to The Endocannabinoid System, which really tells a compelling story about how a single plant can treat so many conditions, including cancer, while being so safe.
To put things in perspective, there are more than 20,000 scientific journal articles about Marijuana or Cannabis.
We all know someone who has been affected by cancer, and yet the cure could be much closer than we realize. It’s possible that we could even grow it in our backyards. We must learn as much as we can about native medicine, protect the bioregions where they grow, and support the native wisdom-keepers and healers who work with these plants.
There is still so much to discover. Or remember.
A cautionary note: if you or someone you love is facing cancer, it’s important to work with a qualified herbalist for clear and informed guidance. Herbal medicines, including the ones listed above, may have side-effects and could conflict with any pharmaceutical drugs you’re taking.
Stay curious,

Nick, i think the scientific name for Moringa you have above is incorrect. It shows the same scientific name beside the Bloodroot.
Sorry, never mind in regards to the above comment. I also wanted to mention, the Essiac tea blend that has been used to treat cancer.
great info,,,thank u,,
Thank you! ???
Where to purchase quality moringa o.?
where to find morninga and good herbalist in Vancouver, b.C. Canada
Do you have a listing of herbalists in the US? Thanks
Kia ora Nick
I have reception and limited data issues,but would really like to watch the up coming cancer info!Can I just buy or download later ?
Many thanks for your excellent work!
Regards Susie
Strange to read the cautions regarding bloodroot. Growing up in Wisconsin, we used to draw pictures on our arms and legs with the red juice from the stems. None of us ever had a reaction of any kind.

I too am affective by losing a close family member to cancer. My 35 year old neice died this year September after being diagnosed with breast cancer January 2016. I feel that I should have done more for her. The oncologist never recommend dietary changes or the integration of holistic modalities. They put her on a diabetic diet which I protested, giving her artificial sweetners and foods that fueled tumor growth. I have promised myself that her death will not be in vain, I will educate and provide resources the population who is not aware of the plan and participate in the economic growth which is escalating with the cancer treatment. I am so sickened by physicians who claim not to know this information but are responsible for providing care for us.
Hi Debbie I am going through this with my brother can you help me please
Broccoli seeds, turn to sprouts,
healed my body, now cancer is out.
It’s your bodies job to heal your cancer.
It’s your job to heal your body.
In 2008 I had stage 3 colorectal cancer
Doctors gave me 5 years to live because I refused Chemo,
and radiation. I’m grateful to the doctors that initially kept me alive, performed 3 surgeries, and reluctantly let me choose food 4 medicine. I ate only raw vegetables every meal for 5 years, my body detoxed within 4 months, change your lifestyle put only good things in your body and get the bad things out. Great article Nick! Ana best of luck with prayers to your brother. God’s Food Heals. I Fight On! 16 years later and thriving.
I have used black salve topically for two small precancerous spots on my chest with stellar results. Definitely use with caution and under care if needed. Tough cookies only apply…once it starts its magic there is no turning back. Wonderful stuff.
It still is a little confusing to know what one should take for what disease. For instance, what needs to be in the canabis to solve a diabetis problem? I saw that it needs to contain THCV. Where can we find this?
Hi Nick,
I greatly appreciate what you are doing, growing up my mother only used teas for ailments, she didn’t felt the need to go to MD for everything and for that I know that herbs can cure.
Is it true that moringa can also purify water? I read that somewhere, sorry I can’t remember where.

If you don’t dare to think about it, you can’t talk about it. 2. Believe that everything is a friend, there is no so-called enemy, so to start things, no psychological burden, but also not afraid of failure. 3, work to self-confidence, success, diligence, never give up, and strive for their own career, rather than for money, set up their own right faith, do everything perfectly successful, money comes naturally. 4, when I was in meditation, friends and relatives gave great support in the side, if there is no support from friends and family, to close oneself, so as not to interfere with your confidence, finish your meditation, correct belief, life and values. 5, some people think that some people don’t believe it.

Under the teacher’s call, I always accept a good training program. Reach out your hand, here are friends, we each play different roles, depend on each other, hand in hand, advance with our good mind, another milestone in human civilization. There is no such thing as an enemy, and if there is one, I am not good enough.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND FINDING A COPY OF ‘THE HERB BOOK’ BY Dr JOHN B. LUST (& HIS FATHER BEFORE HIM). WITH A materia MED’ LISTING > 2000 & MUCH, MUCH ELSE THIS N. HEMISPHERE HERBAL IS AN ESSENTIAL 4 THE HOME HEALER/GARDENER’S LIBRARY.
Black salve cured basal cell carcinoma very effectively…
Looked up Mohs surgery which conventional medicos advised i needed
Curiously seems dr Mohs bought the black salve from a humble lay healer
Then used it in conjunction with surgery then discarded it?..
Wikipedia ref
Why undeed? I gues it is more lucrative.
Lastly i consulted with adrianjonesnaturopath.com user friendly. 80 dollars b.s. cost 20 obtained by me.
Great info.
Hi, I have a friend who has a VERY rare disease that docs are not able to help with, she has capillary leak syndrome of the very rarest kind, her immune system keeps attacking her and is destroying her blood cells, if it carries on she will not be here, I am DESPERATLEY looking over sites for any kind of help or direction anyone could give. And suggestions on what plants and how to get hold of them to be able to get them to the UK. I would be EXTREMLEY appreciative if someone could please help before it’s too late
Go to startx39now.com to find out about stem cell patches. They might help. They have helped people when nothing else has. You will need to find a distributor to sign up or you can order them on eBay.
Hi , I strongly suggest that you contact the Upledger Institute in Florida. One of their qualified CranioSacral therapists can perhaps dialogue with the tissues to ask WHY the immune system is attacking the body. Regards, Nancy Young Cranioacral Therapist Ithaca NY.
Amazing self sufficient in every way so excited to learn it all <3
if this is your treatment modality, prepare to meet your maker,

Hi folks, yes I used Essiac when I had breast cancer in 2004, and I went via a qualified medical herbalist. I have been cancer free since then. It is easy to obtain via the internet or herbalist suppliers, and works! It can also be taken as a preventative measure periodically.
Can you please give me the contact info of the medical herbalist? thank you.
My name is Mark and I live in Adelaide South Australia thank you for your amazing insight. It would be wonderful. To be able to have a one stop shop, where all of the wonderful remedies herbs etcetera can be purchased. The biggest hurdle I face is obtaining many of these amazing herbs such as restriccion mushrooms 5-htp Valerian in the light without having to filter through deceptive marketing or having a chemist add 2D drawing gradient preservatives and the like. I have had many medical conditions in the past, but have turned my health around thanks to the Bold Insight provided by Dr William Davis and Wheat Belly including reversing my type 2 diabetes. Thank you so much to The Naked Science team. Keep on speaking, because people are listening.
Very simply, Thank You.
A long time ago in a graduation ceremony for a class of nurses, that was the key and all encompassing reason why we do what we do. So Thank You.
Thank you for the above article on cancer. Would you in the future do one on kidneys? I am looking for information to heal myself from stage 4 kidney disease. Thank you.
Hey Nick, Thanks for all the interesting articles you send to us. They are so very interesting especially in the world we are living in today with the gmo foods and all the scary things put into foods. we sure need to hear from people like you. I am so thankful to get your information in my inbox, Please dont ever give up. We need more people like you, God bless you, Lin
Nick, I have been with you for at least a couple of decades I think, and I so value your newsletter and sharing of all things sacred. I have learned so much from you, and continue to learn. I know about the herbal and natural treatments for cancer that have been around for eons and why it is they are not more widely recognized (AMA). I appreciate you more than you know. Thank you so much for all you do to bring Light into the world.
Nature has given us many herbs which we can use to heal our bodies. I’ve had amazing success with the little known and forgotten herb called Herb Robert. Taking the tea and fresh leaves quickly wiped out all my small skin cancers a few years ago and they didn’t come back. They healed with no scars or marks. Other people I know have also achieved great results with other cancers. It is very safe to use and is not toxic. It grows well in our Winter in Queensland Australia. I’ve found that the dried tea also works and it easy to get online. Its interesting that in some parts of the world the plant is a declared invasive weed!
Nick, there are no words ro adequately thank you for all the Wonderful information and programs you share with all of us! I am really interested in studying herbalism but have no idea what would be the best most qualified way to learn. If you could direct me I would be forever grateful! also from this article on the 3 herbs for cancer. How would I find a qualified herbalist for advisement ????? I trust you because YOU ARE THE BEST! tHANK YOU so much!
Very interesting and informative
Do you have a list of herbalist we can work with? I’ve bought your stuff but that is a key element we need.
Thank you so much for this wonderful news! I have a homepathic doctor here in Oaxaca (México) who also has been able to cure cancer.
Best

Hello Nick. I bought your Healing Kitchen series and find it so encouraging to learn about the healing power of plants. I was diagnosed with a rare cancer 8 years ago and have an oncologist I trust. That said…I am drawn to adding herbs to my life and am wondering if you know of an herbalist near me. I live between Denver and Boulder, CO.
Thank you.
