The Chinese herb Astragali radix (astragalus) can enhance the immune systems of cancer patients so that their bodies’ natural defenses can attack the cancer. This was the finding of an international team of medical researchers from the Chinese Academy of Medical Science’s Department of Oncology and Immunology in Beijing, Texas A&M’s Department of Chemistry, and the M.D. Anderson Hospital & Tumor Institute in Houston.

The Chinese and American scientists found that astragalus: (1) facilitated the body’s suppressed ability to recognize cancer cells and distinguish them from normal, healthy cells and (2) enhanced the body’s so-called graft-versus-host reaction so that it could mount an attack on the cancer cells and destroy them.

These encouraging results may be due to astragalus’ ability to kill suppressor T cells, which weaken the immune system. With these cells out of the way, the immune system becomes stronger and more able to defend itself against the growth of cancer cells.

These findings come as no surprise to Chinese medical practitioners who have been using astragalus for many centuries to treat qi deficiency, which results when the patient’s life force, or qi, is insufficient to sustain health. The two most prevalent and most frightening diseases of modern life-cancer and AIDS –may be classed as qi deficiencies.

The immune systems of healthy persons also need a boost from time to time. Lack of sleep, erratic eating habits, stress, overwork, menstruation, and menopause and so-called male menopause can all wear away at the optimal functioning of the immune system. Almost everyone could use a little astragalus.
