Ginger, pepper treat difficult cancers - Yahoo! News

Ginger, pepper treat difficult cancers - Yahoo! News:
"Dr. Rebecca Liu, an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center, and colleagues tested ginger powder dissolved in solution by putting it on ovarian cancer cell cultures.
