Dr Daniel Sze – Why is consistency of PHY906 important to be used in cancer adjuvant therapy
Dr Daniel Sze Source: Aaron Wan
PHY906 is a decoction of a mixture of the four herbs Scutellaria baicalensis Geori, Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch, Paeonia lactiflora Pall, and Ziziphus jujuba Mill. A combination of these four herbs has been in continuous use in traditional Chinese medicine for over 1800 years for treating a variety of gastrointestinal distress such as diarrhea, cramps, nausea, vomiting etc. In this episode, Dr Sze explains how Yale University develops a system to ensure on one hand, the consistency of the medical nature of Scotalara and hence develops PHY906, while on the other hand, that this Chinese medicine would not interfere with the patients who are undergoing chemotherapy.
