One visitor to this blog wrote in to ask me how to get hold of the Terung Susu Kambing plant as her mum was suffering from breast cancer and the fruit is one of the recommended traditional cures. However I have to say that it is rather difficult to get hold of the plant or the fruit. The plant that we have in the Herb Garden is not growing too well and has not borne fruit at all.
As an alternative, I suggested that she try to get hold of the Jarum Bintang Tujuh Plant or Cancer Plant as it is commonly found and very easy to grow. I remember one religious teacher who taught in my school was diagnosed with the disease and she went for homeopathy treatment. Besides following the diet recommended by her therapists, she also ate two of the leaves of this Cancer plant each day. The Ustazah recovered and she has since transferred to another school in another state.

Here is more information about this lifesaving plant:

Just pluck two of the crunchy leaves from the plant, wash them and eat them.
