Woman says natural supplement saved her husband from terminal cancer

A woman says her husband was on his deathbed with an incurable form of cancer “ravaging” his body but claims he somehow made a recovery after taking a natural supplement. Jim Robinson thought he just had haemorrhoids when he noticed blood after going to the toilet but tests revealed the devastating truth – he had colon cancer that had already spread to his liver and lymph nodes.

The retired welder and pipe fitter nearly died from a bout of food poisoning due to his weak immune system, and at one point doctors feared he wouldn’t make it through the night. But in March this year, Jim and his wife, Pegi celebrated after he was told he was cancer-free.

Just months later, he was hit with another heartbreaking diagnosis: small intestine and peritoneal cancer that had spread throughout his body. This time, doctors said it was terminal. But in a twist, Jim’s health began to turn around after he started taking dandelion root every day – and scans show he’s cancer-free once again.

Pegi, 64, a retired counsellor, said: “His oncologists can’t believe that he’s doing so well. I think Jim’s progress offers hope that cancer will become a thing of the past. He’s gone back to his happy-go-lucky, energetic and grateful self. I didn’t think it was possible; but all we had to do was turn to the hidden secrets of Mother Nature.”

Jim, 64, was first diagnosed in April 2024 and went through gruelling rounds of chemotherapy and liver surgery before finally ringing the hospital bell. But just weeks later, he was back in hospital with a bowel obstruction that left doctors fearing the worst.

Pegi said: “They told me if we had left it one more day, he would be dead. It was scar tissue that was causing the blockages but then they found signs of small intestine cancer. It was aggressive and incurable. “He had to start chemotherapy again but it only continued to spread.”

Pegi says she felt a “message from above” that her husband would survive. Shortly after, she spotted an advert for dandelion root on social media.

She said: “Before, I would have rolled my eyes and dismissed it. [But] I did some research and came across laboratory studies, which had successful results. I ran to the local health store to pick it up and put a full dropper into his water three times a day.

“In two days, the blood protein levels measuring his cancer dropped from 14 to two. And then two weeks later, he had a CT scan and all of his lesions were either undetectable or had shrunk.”

On 6 October, Jim was once again told he was cancer-free. He’s now on maintenance chemotherapy. Pegi said: “Because of his prognosis, we were told many patients chose not to have any treatment and let the cancer run its course. But now, thanks to dandelion root, it offers a chance of hope that it’s not the end.

“Jim was given a death sentence, with no hope. Now, life isn’t over for us, it’s only just beginning.”

While there’s no scientific proof that dandelion root can cure cancer, Jim’s case has left doctors scratching their heads – and his family convinced that something extraordinary has happened.

Laboratory studies (in test tubes and animal models) indicate that dandelion root extract can induce cell death in various cancer cells, including colorectal, breast, prostate, and leukemia, while having minimal effect on normal cells. However, there is currently insufficient clinical evidence to confirm that it is an effective cure or treatment for cancer.
