Amla, Amalaki (Embilica Officinalis) - Indian Gooseberry.
It contains important phytonutrients such as super catalase super oxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase, Vit C, tannins, quercetin, etc... including other most powerful compounds. I read that one Indian Gooseberry contains more Vitamin C than 20 oranges!
Look up Amla which is an Indian Gooseberry on Medical/Science databse, a surprising amount of research done. Ayurvedic doctors have been using this thousands of years!!
One of many articles from Pubmed below illustrates the phytonutrients including antineoplastons, for cancer prevention and treating cancer.
Article below is from the European Journal of Cancer prevention.

Abstract
Emblica officinalis Gaertn. or Phyllanthus emblica Linn, commonly known as Indian gooseberry or amla, is arguably the most important medicinal plant in the Indian traditional system of medicine, the Ayurveda. Various parts of the plant are used to treat a range of diseases, but the most important is the fruit. The fruit is used either alone or in combination with other plants to treat many ailments such as common cold and fever; as a diuretic, laxative, liver tonic, refrigerant, stomachic, restorative, alterative, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, hair tonic; to prevent peptic ulcer and dyspepsia, and as a digestive. Preclinical studies have shown that amla possesses antipyretic, analgesic, antitussive, antiatherogenic, adaptogenic, cardioprotective, gastroprotective, antianemia, antihypercholesterolemia, wound healing, antidiarrheal, antiatherosclerotic, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective, and neuroprotective properties. In addition, experimental studies have shown that amla and some of its phytochemicals such as gallic acid, ellagic acid, pyrogallol, some norsesquiterpenoids, corilagin, geraniin, elaeocarpusin, and prodelphinidins B1 and B2 also possess antineoplastic effects. Amla is also reported to possess radiomodulatory, chemomodulatory, chemopreventive effects, free radical scavenging, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic and immunomodulatory activities, properties that are efficacious in the treatment and prevention of cancer. This review for the first time summarizes the results related to these properties and also emphasizes the aspects that warrant future research to establish its activity and utility as a cancer preventive and therapeutic drug in humans.
Stumbled on this site (no financial affiliation) which sells powder of nutritive fruits worldwide containing important compounds. I bought the baobab powder from a different company.
It lists the possible benefits of this fruit powder. Its not allowed to advertise it as a cure. Research on PubMed and other Database will show supporting evidence of the long list of listed benefits. Regardless, its being use to treat as listed on the site by Ayurvedic doctors successfully.
This is not for those seeking quick cures, those compounds takes time to penetrate all tissues. It has a cummulative effect.
