Cancer-fighting tea set for clinical trials in Ontario

After a year and a half of painstaking work, scientists at the Calgary lab have formulated a dandelion tea powder that is six to 10 times more potent than something available at a health food store.
Dandelion root is milled, an extract is created and then freeze-dried.

The end product is a fine mustard coloured powder that patients can dissolve in hot water and drink. "We've gone through many trials to find what does work and what doesn't work," said Rachel Jacyszyn, research associate at AOR

"We finally found something that does work"

AOR is now working to produce 6,000 doses of the tea for a clinical trial at the Windsor Regional Cancer Centre.
