I’m a prostate cancer patient and just heard of a study at the U of Texas reporting that phellodendron amurense (huang bai) kills prostate cancer cells in lab tests. They tested an herbal called “nexrutine.” Can someone tell me if I can make a tea from huang bai.? Also, would it be most potent to take huang bai in concentrated form in a supplement or would tea be better? How much can I take daily? Thanks for any help you may give.

I provide this post to all. I hope that everybody may look into the Morgellons that has had much news media coverage of late. The following will explain the support and understanding that people with Morgellons need at this time:

Please take the time to look into Morgellons with an open mind that there “is” a new disease that needs the research and support from all Doctors in every medical field.

Thank you for your time
