• "Frankincense oil might represent an alternative intravesical agent for bladder cancer treatment."
• "Frankincense could revolutionize the treatment of cancer."
• "Treatment with frankincense could eradicate the cancerous cells alone and let the others live."

The scientific literature on cancer and frankincense is incredibly hopeful. International laboratory research has demonstrated frankincense essential oil's ability to shut down cancer cells without harming healthy cells. As these things go, the drug industry will take the constituent parts of frankincense and test each one of them for its effectiveness against cancer.

There aren't a lot of natural remedies that have science to back them up. For instance, the coffee enema. Yes, the coffee enema has been used by hospitals for years and years, but there is no scientific literature to back it up. Yes, the clinical and anecdotal evidence is clear: coffee enemas assist thousands and thousands of people to heal.

Yet, in frankincense we have some scientific evidence. Scientists have observed that there is some agent within frankincense which stops cancer from spreading, and which induces cancerous cells to close themselves down.

You couple this with the ample scientific evidence that exists that the colon is an effective delivery system for therapeutic agents, you couple this with the fact that of cancers affecting both men and women, colorectal cancer (cancer of the colon and rectum) is the second leading cancer killer in the United States and I suggest we have a powerful preventive essential oil to use in both the enema and the suppository to avoid cancer.
