714-X (for cancer)  This drug is a completely experimental alternative therapy drug derived from mixing chemicals with camphor (from the bark of the camphor tree), and was developed in Canada in the 1960s.  The theoretical basis is that the camphor is said to prevent cancer cells from taking nitrogen from the body’s normal cells, and aid the immune system by increasing the flow of lymp.  It is administered by injection near the lymph nodes in the groin or for those with oral or nasal cancer, via nebulizer.  There are animal model studies using a lymphosarcoma tumor model in rats and lymphoma tumor models in dogs and cows, but 714-x was found not to be effective.  There are no human published studies of clinical trials.  (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK65771/#CDR0000446580_2) .  This is a completely experimental drug used by those who are desperate or those that irrationally believe “natural” products are better for them.  This treatment should be avoided.
