After reading a few articles, it appears to be true that the that butterfly pea flower tea does in fact kill cancer cells and the reason stated is because of the cyclotides in the tea but it still seems like a “too good to be true,” type thing for me to believe. I’m wondering if it is more of a semantics thing where it may help to “prevent” cancer as opposed to what the claim is stating in that it “kills” cancer.
If it did it wouldn’t exist because it would be eaten up by cancer research. The most promising right now for an all around cure is capsicum treatment it’s just finding a way to sedate the patient and not killing them.
I would look at it this way. There does not seem to be an adverse effect from drinking this tea and it might have some benefits, so why not give it a shot if you want and there is not a medical reason to contraindicate it.
One should not, however, consider this a replacement for medical treatment.
