Neem

Every part of this tree — leaves, bark, seeds, oil — has documented anti-cancer activity. Neem is the most complete anti-cancer tree in this entire series.

→ Nimbolide blocks STAT3, suppresses Bcl-2, and activates caspase-3 — three simultaneous blows to cancer's survival mechanism in one compound

→ Gedunin inhibits Hsp90 — the chaperone protein that physically stabilises and protects all of cancer's key oncoproteins. Block it, and every cancer-promoting protein it was holding together collapses at once. Like pulling scaffolding from an entire building.

→ Azadirachtin locks cancer cells in G2/M arrest AND suppresses VEGF — cutting off cell division and blood supply simultaneously

Ayurveda called this the village pharmacy. Molecular biology is finally explaining why.
