Green tea powder for melanomas?

[Mrs B]

Has anyone any experience of this? I have read of it's efficacy in both humans and horses with melanomas but am not sure where to source it or what the dosage would be.

M (16 yo grey) has developed melanomas in his sheath confirmed by the vet and I know there is not much that can be done conventionally. But as green tea can't harm and might help, I'm willing to try.

Any help or advice gratefully received.

I'd be interested to know more about green tea.

Have a look at this website for another possible melanoma solution http://www.sarcoidsurgery.com/classic_green_sarcoid_02_003.htm

Thanks, Qaz.

If I find out anything further about green tea, I'll pm you...

I've recently heard of a vet in NZ using black tea for laminitis as someone here has been trying it with good effect (in conjunction with other herbs and management). He uses 4 bags in half a bucket for a pony.

I haven't heard much about green tea, but it would be worth a try.

I'd love to hear of you found some info.
