Cancer patients are being offered as human guinea pigs as researchers investigate a possible cure for cancer was found in north Queensland's rainforests.
Scientists have identified a compound in the fruits of native bush blushwood seems to "liquefy and destroy the cancer without side effects," according to latest research.
deep in the remains of a forest 130 million years found, the fruit extract may still contain the secret antidote No. 1 killer disease in Australia.
Victoria Gordon, EcoBiotics, a company based Atherton Tableland, said they hoped to go to human clinical trials later this year.
Dr. Gordon said that a single dose injection of the extract, known as EBC-46, had been effective in 50 critically ill dogs and about a dozen cats and horses.
"This is proving to be something exceptional," he said.

"The tumor literally liquefies.
"There is a quick demolition of the tumor, it disintegrates within 24 hours and have a rapid healing response.
"The largest tumor is the size of a can of Coca Cola in a dog, and that the animals are completely safe and healthy."
Dr. Gordon said he had worked in skin cancers such as carcinomas and melanomas and bone cancer, and was a possible treatment for breast cancer, colon and prostate.
But she warned aspiring human guinea pigs do not look under the treatment table.
She said it was "immoral, illegal and unscientific" to try to administer the drug before approval, which may take up to seven years by the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
"We've been inundated with calls - showing that there is a need for a breakthrough in cancer treatment," he said. "Most people understand when we explain the situation."
Former breast cancer patient crew Mena, 65, said he died of cancer "would do anything for a miracle cure."
"We would all like a silver bullet, it would be wonderful, and I hope we find it in my life," said breast cancer support volunteers.
She has worked with more than 200 patients and some of the victims in his role with the Queensland Cancer Council.
"I will not kill the enthusiasm of the wonderful research, but until proven it will work, we recommend you go with conventional and proven treatments," he said.
"It's good, however, think the secret antidote may be growing in the forest above Cairns."
