The word you omitted is "may"
The search for more effective cancer treatments may soon harness the healing power of the Autumn crocus.

It would seem it is pretty well developed Alan, as it has been tested on mice, the results published, and they are poised for clinical trials. I did post

Herbal needs care of course. I have M.E and many said that St John's Wort was great, so I started taking it. After a while I ran out of it and suffered appalling headaches ie withdrawal.
It has made me very wary.
It has been withdrawn here in Ireland, as have many herbal things.
