As Dr. Alexander Sun watched his mother fighting lung cancer and suffering in pain, with chemotherapy failing to stop the progression of her cancer, he developed an herbal soup for her to drink that he thought might help. Three months later, surgeons removed a tumor and she lived cancer-free for another 17 years. Dr. Sun, a biochemist, went on to conduct two small clinical trials with his soup, called Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup, and reported positive outcomes for most of the cancer patients in the trial. In fact, the results were impressive, according to Dr. Sun's tests. There are some questions regarding the size of the trials, as both involved few participants, and most used the soup as a complementary therapy while undergoing conventional treatments at the same time.

Some of the ingredients Dr. Sun used to make his soup have been proven in separate research studies to have some anti-cancer properties. The ingredients are: soybean, the medicinal shitake mushroom, red date, scallion, garlic, lentil bean, leek, mung bean, hawthorn fruit, onion, American ginseng, angelica root, licorice, dandelion root, senegal root, ginger, olive, sesame seed and parsley.

The National Cancer Institute has documented information on the human clinical studies that were conducted, with additional information about Sun's Soup. I found it interesting that they do not rule out the effectiveness of the soup, only that the data is too limited to make a conclusive statement regarding the soup. I understand Sun's Soup is sold freeze-dried as a dietary supplement.
