Margaret's Corner blog about saw palmetto and mm
I began supplementing with saw palmetto several months ago when my primary care physician suggested it to help manage my irritable bladder symptoms. IB is a common side effect of cytoxan I believe.
When I came across Margaret's blogging about the anti-mm properties of saw palmetto I thought that the members should read her posting on the subject.
"Important excerpt: saw palmetto induced growth arrest of a variety of human leukemia cells including U266 and RPMI 8226 multiple myeloma cells […]. It killed U266 (=myeloma) cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. More details can be found in the abstract (inhibition of STAT3 signaling, etc.).
According to a 2009 UK drug safety study (http://tinyurl.com/m9ejra), saw palmetto is one of the most widely used herbal preparations for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)."
