Secret Weapons

pau d'arco -- Central/South American tea (with ginger, tumeric)

Traditionally used for cancer, antibiotic, anti-fungal, etc.
Organic, daughter knows the source

Mother's Milk -- NY Times, then Swedish researchers, then source

Induces cancer cell apoptosis (programmed cell death)
Leaves normal cells alone
Researchers in Sweden discovered effect by chance
They are seeking to patent and commercialize chemicals, so are less interested in low-cost, high-availability methods
(I take ~2 oz per day of milk in a fruit/yogurt/tofu smoothie for lunch)
