Can dandelion extract help fight lung cancer?

While some people may be interested in natural supplements, it's important to note that supplements and natural therapies cannot be used to treat lung cancer on their own. Only FDA-approved medical treatments should be used to treat cancer. Many claims about alternative therapies lack strong scientific evidence from clinical trials.

Always consult with your doctor before starting any supplements, as some natural substances can interfere with cancer treatments or potentially cause harm. If you're interested in complementary approaches, there are some supplements that have been studied alongside conventional cancer treatments, including:

• Vitamin D
• Vitamin C
• Medicinal mushrooms (specifically turkey tail)
• Astragalus

However, these should only be used under medical supervision and as part of a comprehensive treatment plan prescribed by your healthcare team.
