and are therefore considered anecdotal.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
The BIO-MEDICAL CENTER began clinical testing of Montana Yew (Taxus brevifolia)
in July 1994, supplied by Bighorn Botanicals, Inc., and included it in our cancer therapy
protocols.
Initial testing the first year involved bark and bough tips, which were mostly needles, and
our observations indicated the bough tips were much more effective than the bark when
used for nutritional support as a tea decoction. These results coincided with research
documenting greater amounts of naturally occuring taxanes with anti-tumor activity in
the needles of Taxus brevifolia when harvested and processed properly. Once these
results were realized, all bark harvesting ceased and the sustainable harvest of Montana
YewTips was implemented which does no harm to this valuable resource.
Over 2,000 of our cancer patients have included Montana YewTip tea, capsules and salve
in their treatments. Best responders have been internal carcinomas, melanomas, leukemia,
lymphomas, and external carcinomas and melanomas.
Four to six cups of tea or 6-8, 300 mg capsules per day after meals is the usual treatment.
Patients are advised to continue the Yew in their diets for one year after we can no longer
detect cancer in their systems, and periodically thereafter for preventive care.
Improvement has been observed with lung cancer patients who mist their lungs with the
YewTip tea in their nebulizers.
External cancers are treated with YewTip salve, covered by cotton and cleaned daily with
a diluted Pinesol solution. The immuno-stimulant, anti-viral, anti-inflamatory, antiparasitic, and detoxification properties of Taxus brevifolia are also beneficial in cancer
therapy.
Occasional adverse side effects observed with Montana Yew have been nausea, diarrhea
and mild dizziness. Decreasing or discontinuing use for a few days and gradually
resuming dosage until tolerance is established usually corrects the discomfort.
Following specific instructions for the tea preparation and not over-boiling is important.
People using pharmaceuticals should be well aware of the adverse side effects of these
drugs as it is possible that Taxus brevifolia may enhance the effectiveness and adverse
reactions to synthetic drugs.
After four years of use, the Montana Yew has earned its place in our cancer therapy
protocols. Combined with our other proven treatments, such as the Hoxsey Tonic, proper
diet, and the patient’s desire and willingness to live healthy, it has improved the quality
of life for thousands of cancer victims. During over 50 years of experience with
botanical treatments, we are very happy to have discovered the extraordinary medicinal
benefits of the Montana Yew.
