Drumstick's latin name is moringa oleifera, Linn.
I have been posting the goodness of this plant. But
nobody seems to pay attention. This website, i think
on page 4, would show what are its healing properties
indicating which plant to use. The below website
should be in one line:
http://www.tfljournal.org/images/articles/20051201124931586_3.pdf
Its leaves are anti-radioactive (with DU floatiang in
our atmosphere and other serious diseases, also other
good qualities in fighting all sorts of diseases), i
would take 1/2 a cup a day, contains complete amino
acids even those difficult to acquire, got minerals
and some vitamins. It has been touted as a SUPERFOOD
now and many, many researches are ongoing.

Also last night a remedy from Israel, boil or steep
lemon grass with lots of water and drink 8 glasses a
day. Helps cancer patients. Below is the article:
The article is by Allison Kaplan Sommer: "At first,
Benny Zabidov, an Israeli agriculturalist
who grows greenhouses full of lush spices on a
pastoral farm in Kfar Yedidya in the Sharon region,
couldn't understand why so many cancer patients
from around the country were showing up on his
doorstep asking for fresh lemon grass.
"It turned out that their doctors had sent them.
"'They had been told to drink eight glasses of hot
water with fresh lemongrass steeped in it on the days
that they went for their radiation and chemotherapy
treatments," Zabidov told ISRAEL21c. "And
this is the place you go to in Israel for fresh
lemon grass.'
"It all began when researchers at Ben Gurion
University of the Negev discovered last year that the
lemon aroma in herbs like lemon grass kills cancer
cells in vitro, while leaving healthy cells unharmed.
"The research team was led by Dr. Rivka Ofir and
Prof. Yakov Weinstein, incumbent of the Albert Katz
Chair in Cell-Differentiation and Malignant Diseases,
from the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at
BGU. "Citral is the key component that gives the
lemony aroma and taste in several herbal plants such
as lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus), Melissa
(Melissa officinalis) and verbena (Verbena
officinalis.)
"According to Ofir, the study found that citral
causes cancer cells to 'commit suicide: using
apoptosis, a mechanism called programmed cell
death.
"A drink with as little as one gram of lemon grass
contains enough citral to prompt the cancer cells to
commit suicide in the test tube.
"The BGU investigators checked the influence of the
citral on cancerous cells by adding them to both
cancerous cells and normal cells that were grown in a
petri dish. The quantity added in the concentrate was
equivalent to the amount contained in a cup of regular
tea using one gram of lemon herbs in hot water.
While the citral killed the cancerous cells, the
normal cells remained unharmed.
"The findings were published in the scientific
journal Planta Medica, which highlights research on
alternative and herbal remedies. Shortly afterwards,
the discovery was featured in the popular Israeli
press.
"Why does it work? Nobody knows for certain, but the
BGU scientists have a theory. "'In each cell in our
body, there is a genetic program which causes
>>>>>>> programmed cell death. When something goes
wrong, the cells divide with no control and become
cancer cells. In normal cells, when the
cell discovers that the control system is not
operating correctly - for example, when it recognizes
that a cell contains faulty genetic
material following cell division – it triggers cell
death," explains Weinstein. "This research may
explain the medical benefit of these herbs.'
"The success of their research led them to the
conclusion that herbs containing citral may be
consumed as a preventative measure against certain
cancerous cells.
"As they learned of the BGU findings in the press,
many physicians in
Israel began to believe that while the research
certainly needed to be
explored further, in the meantime it would be
advisable for their patients, who were looking for
any possible tool to
fight their condition, to try to harness the
cancer-destroying properties of citral.
"That's why Zabidov's farm - the only major grower
of fresh lemon grass in Israel - has become a
pilgrimage destination for these patients. Luckily,
they found themselves in sympathetic hands. Zabidov
greets visitors with a large kettle of aromatic
lemon grass tea, a plate of cookies, and a supportive
attitude.
"'My father died of cancer, and my wife's sister
died young because of cancer," said Zabidov. "So I
understand what they are dealing with.
And I may not know anything about medicine, but I'm
good listener. And so they tell me about their
expensive painful treatments and what they've been
through. I would never tell them to stop being
treated, but it's great that they are exploring
alternatives and drinking the lemon grass tea as
well."
"Zabidov knew from a young age that agriculture was
his calling. At age 14, he enrolled in the Kfar
Hayarok Agricultural high school. After his army
service, he joined an idealistic group which headed
south, in the Arava desert region, to found a new
moshav (agricultural settlement) called Tsofar.
"'We were very successful; we raised fruits and
vegetables, and," he notes with a smile, "We raised
some very nice children."
"On a trip to Europe in the mid-80s, he began to
become interested in herbs. Israel , at the time, was
nothing like the trend-conscious cuisine-oriented
country it is today, and the only
spices being grown commercially were basics like
parsley, dill, and coriander.
"Wandering in the Paris market, looking at the
variety of herbs and spices, Zabidov realized that
there was a great export potential in this niche. He
brought samples back home with him, "which was
technically illegal," he says with a guilty smile,
to see how they would grow in his desert greenhouses.
Soon, he was growing basil, oregano, tarragon,
chives, sage, marjoram and melissa, and mint just to
name a few.
"His business began to outgrow his desert
facilities, and so he decided to move north, settling
in the moshav of Kfar Yedidya, an hour and a half
north of Tel Aviv. He is now selling "several hundred
kilos" of lemon grass per week, and has signed with
a distributor to package and put it in health food
stores.
"Zabidov has taken it upon himself to learn more
about the properties of citral, and help his
customers learn more, and has invited medical
experts to his farm to give lectures about how the
citral works and why.
"He also felt a responsibility to know what to tell
his customers about its see. 'When I realized what
was happening, I picked up the phone and called Dr.
Weinstein at Ben-Gurion University , because
these people were asking me exactly the best way to
consume the citral. He said to put the loose grass in
hot water, and drink about
eight glasses each day.'
"Zabidov is pleased by the findings, not simply
because it means business for his farm, but because
it might influence his own health.
"Even before the news of its benefits were
demonstrated, he and his family had been drinking
lemon grass in hot water for years, 'just
because it tastes good."
