Melatonin: This is a neuro- hormone produced by the pineal gland has been found to be a highly effective antitumor agent, by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and stimulating the mechanism in the body that fights cancer.

Silymarin (Milk thistle): This is a polyphenolic disease fighting agent derived from milk thistle. "Several studies have shown that silymarin is a very strong antioxidant, capable of scavenging both free radicals and reactive oxygen species, which result in a boost to cellular defense mechanisms." It has also been shown to protect against cancers of the skin, prostate, breast, lung, colon and bladder. It not only protects against the onset of cancer, but it significantly inhibits the growth of existing cancer also. Silymarin inhibits cancer cell growth and alters the cycle progression in many types of cancer. Because it interferes with
