Chinese Plant Compound Wipes out Cancer in 40 Days, Says New Research
A little-known plant with a truly bizarre name is now making headlines as a cancer killer, with the compound of the plant vanishing tumors in mice with pancreatic cancer. Known as the ‘thunder god vine’ or lei gong teng, the Chinese plant is actually integrated into Chinese medicine and has been used for ages in remedying a number of conditions including rheumatoid arthritis.
According to the new research out of the University of Minnesota’s Masonic Cancer Center, the thunder god plant compound led to no signs of tumors after a 40 day period — even after discontinuing the treatment. Published in the journal Science Translational Medicine and funded by the National Institutes of Health, even the scientists working on the project were stunned by the anti-cancer properties of the compound. Known to contain something known as triptolide, which has been identified as a cancer fighter in previous research, it is thought to be the key component that may be responsible for the anti-tumor capabilities.
Study leader and vice chairman of research at the Cancer Center explained to Bloomberg how he was blown away by the effects of the simple plant:
“This drug is just unbelievably potent in killing tumor cells,” he said.
And just like with numerous other powerful substances like
Nevertheless, the Big Pharma sponsored corporate scientists have managed to ignore these spices as much as possible. In fact, they have even been caught time and time again faking thousands of studies to fraudulently demonstrate the supposed value of pharmaceutical drugs pushed by major pharma juggernauts — many of which are later forced to pay millions in fines which only slightly stack up against their billions in profits.
Profits that are threatened by the many real studies that were performed by scientists examining the rejeuvenating power of cheap ingredients like
While it is great news that this study is bringing the beneficial effects of inexpensive and near-free plant compounds to light, the bad news is that the individuals responsible for the research are actually looking to create a pharmaceutical drug from the essential component triptolide. A drug that will seek FDA approval and ultimately be patented, nutritionally ruined, and sold for exorbitant amounts of cash. Instead, just get your hands on some thunder god vine for yourself.
Where can I get hold of this plant? Is this grown only in China?
One reason I think this is effective, is because Tripterygium is a NRF2 activator, which all NRF2 activators have been shown to be turmor fighting and chemo-preventative.

Good to know. Thanks!
I worry that desperately sick people will misuse this herb so I spoke with an integrative oncologist, Dwight Mckee MD (Google) and he said that this plant has serious potential and also serious toxicity–it needs to be carefully studied. There are hundreds of deaths reported every year in China due to this plant–only the root can be used, and it must be carefully skinned of all bark–all other parts of the plant are extremely poisonous, from which the common name derives–you eat the plant, and the thunder god strikes you dead… There is some evidence that the toxicity of the compounds (which are very potent anti-inflammatories, and also immune suppressants) may be antidoted by thiols, such as NAC, lipoic acid, etc.
