Description
The celandine plant (also known as Great Celandine), a flowering member of the poppy family, grows in Europe and the temperate and subarctic regions of Asia. The roots, herb, and juice are used as remedies. Celandine, promoted as a cancer drug, is a semi-synthetic compound formed by chemically combining alkaloids from the celandine plant with thiophosphoric acid derivatives, including an older cancer treatment drug called thiotepa.
Medicinal
Celandine is promoted for use as a mild sedative, to prevent gallstones, and to treat intestinal and digestive problems, liver disease, and eye irritation. Practitioners have used it on the skin to treat ringworm, warts, and corns. Supporters have also used celandine along with antiviral agents to treat herpes, HIV, and the Epstein-Barr virus.
Proponents claim Ukrain, which contains celandine along with thiotepa (a chemotherapy drug) and other compounds, improves overall health for people who have many types of cancer including lung, colon, kidney, ovarian, breast, brain, pancreatic, and skin cancer. They further claim it helps people who have cancer live longer by boosting the immune system and inhibiting tumor growth, without any major side effects. Ukrain supposedly causes cancer cells to die and leaves healthy cells undamaged. Proponents also claim that it protects cells from radiation damage, although strong scientific evidence supporting these claims is not available. Celandine can cause rashes, itching, and serious allergic reactions in some people. The whole plant is reported as being at least mildly poisonous to humans, with the roots being the most toxic. The herb is reported to be poisonous to dogs and some farm animals.
