October 25, 2014 - Breakthrough in Skin Cancer Treatment.An experimental drug called EBC-46 made from the red berries of the rare Australian blushwood tree injected into animal cancer cells of melanomas and head, neck and colon skin cancers rapidly destroyed tumors in more than 70% of cases.
“There's a purpling of the area of the tumor itself, and you see that
within five minutes. You come back the next day and the tumor is black,
and come back a few days later and the tumor has fallen off.”

Red berries from the rare blushwood tree (Hylandia dockrillii)
that grows only in the Atherton Tablelands in Australia's Far North
Queensland region. Local populations for centuries have used the
berries for fast-acting medicine. Image by QIMR.Australian researchers led by Glen Boyle, M. D., from the Queensland Medical Research Institute (QIMR) discovered in an 8-year-long study of a compound in the blushwood tree berries that an extract injected directly into skin cancer cells “cuts off the blood supply (to cancer) and it also activates the body's own immune system to clean up the mess that's left behind.” In surface tumors of 300 animals, including cats, dogs, horses and Tasmanian devils, 75% of the skin tumors disappeared completely.
