* [[Agaricus]] may possess anti-tumor properties that could aid in the treatment of leukemia.
* [[Chang Shan]] : In 2011, researchers from the University of Sao Paulo, the University of Brazil, and Tel Aviv University discovered that halofuginone (HF) is capable of fighting leukemia. Not only does HF prevent leukemia cancer cells from spreading, but it also induces apoptosis, also known as cell death.
* [[Black walnutWalnut]] : scientists found several animal studies supporting the use of black walnut's active compound, juglone, in treating various types of cancer. Juglone reduced the occurance of tumors and of tumor growth and killed human leukemia cells in vitro. However, juglone also promoted skin cancer, allergies and inflammation when applied topically. Researchers concluded that juglone may be an anticancer compound in some forms of cancer, but its usefulness is limited by its high toxicity
