From the ASCO wire:

Per a phase III prospective double bling trial Barton et al, at Mayo Clinic reports...

American Ginseng Improve Cancer Related Fatigue

Key Points:

Ginseng significantly reduced fatigue at 8 weeks compared with placebo in patients with cancer-related fatigue.
The relative benefit of ginseng was greater among patients currently receiving cancer therapy.
Ginseng was not associated with any discernible toxicities.

I will go out and get some Ginseng and hopefully get the benefit in 8 weeks.

Look for Wisconsin. Others may be effective but this trial was testing American Ginseng.
