Abstract
A composition is prepared by extracting phytochemicals from plant matter and is administered to provide treatment for cancer and especially for breast, prostate, skin, colon, urinary and bladder cancer. This composition is enriched preferably with two or more fractions of phytochemicals refined from plant matter, namely: isoflavones, lignans, saponins, sapogenins, catechins and phenolic acids. The isoflavones are selected from a group including malonyl, acetyl, glucoside, and aglycone. Soy is the preferred source of these chemicals; however, other plants may also be used, such as wheat, psyllium, rice, oats, red clover, kudzu, alfalfa, flax, and cocoa. The composition is a dietary supplement for treatment of various cancers and other syndromes and disorders. In particular, the dietary supplement is in a concentrated, easy to use or consume form, such as creams, pills, tablets, capsules, pellets, dry powder, health bars, food ingredients and supplements, tablets, soft gels, and the like.
