[cancercured] best sources of info on alt. cancer treatment (was Re: Pau D'Arco)

I guess what I'm looking for is clinical evidence. Boik writes about
the potential of natural compounds to treat cancers and possibly
synergy (in petri dish experiments and animal models) when used in
combination, but at the time of my reading he did not describe any
clinical outcomes in studies of patients ... even in pilot
studies ... so looking for something similar to the encouraging
report published in ASH for early stage CLL treated with green tea
extract.

See http://www.abstracts2view.com:80/hem07/view.php?nu=HEM07L1_2005

Based on the results in the small pilot, additional study has begun:
See Green Tea Extract in Treating Patients With Stage 0, Stage I, or
Stage II Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia http://clinicaltria ls.gov/ct2/
show/NCT00262743

Also see cautions for use of EGCG at high doses:
