I am a supporter of the earth, I aim to grow and nurture not only plants and fellow creatures, but each other. I have a devotion to all that is righteous and good, wholesome and pure and an aversion to GMO growing and the mutant destruction of our food sources, land and any inhumane treatments of Man or beast. I choose only heirloom seeds and strive to ban that which seeks to desecrate us and our natural life. I believe nature should be allowed to flourish and only lovingly restored and replenished. I encourage others to become educated and knowledgeable enough to seek sustainable ways of living, reliant on their own means. I seed save and uphold the storehouse, I utilise, and I recycled, reuse, restore, we celebrate living frugally in a world of excess, I honour our planet and respect her resources and use them with conscience care. I am Amber's Organics LLC

 

Thank you for supporting small businesses.

New Seeds! Cancer Tree  (Camptotheca acuminata)

Aug 5, 2016

Finds this fascinating tree under "rare seeds" on my website.

Camptotheca acuminate (Happy Tree) was first used traditional medicine (ancient Chinese) as a treatment for common colds, psoriasis, liver problems and digestive problems.

Scientific research has found the cancer-fighting properties in Camptotheca acuminate thus it is called a cancer-tree. It contains pentacyclic quinolines camptothecin and 10-hydroxycamptothecin which inhibits DNA topoisomerase I and is very effective against cancer cells.

The extract of tender are beneficial for brain tumors, liver cancer, cancer in the gastrointestinal tract, leukemia and other cancers.

The main compound -a pentacyclic quinoline alkaloid- are found mostly in the tender leaves but they are also present in the bark, root and seeds.

The fruit contains alkaloids (camptothecine, venoterpine, 10-hydroxy camptothecine), tannins(syringicacid, salicylic).

The root contains alkaloids (20-deoxycamptothecin, 20-hexanoylcamptothecine) as well as camptothecine, flavonoids, quercetin, and tannins(gallic acid and trifolin)
