Flaxseed and ginseng, two popular “alternative” cancer therapies, may provide some benefit to patients, according to new research from the US. Researchers at Duke Medical Center found that men who consumed 30 grams of omega-3-rich flaxseed on a daily basis were able to significantly slow down the growth of their prostate tumors. At the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota researchers found that about a quarter of cancer patients who took doses of at least 1000 mg of American ginseng per day experienced less fatigue.
Researchers from both studies stated that more large-scale research should be done on these promising cancer treatments.
