Japanese Knotweed testimonial

[Guest guest]

The testimonial below suggests Japanese Knotweed as a source of resveratrol. I

have been thinking about trying some of Dr. Mercola’s resveratrol product

which is derived from grape seeds/skins. However, the testimonial states that

the knotweed is even a better source of resveratrol.

Dave (or anyone), what do you think about the grape source versus the knotweed

source? Thanks!

Subject: Charcoal Poultice to reverse all eye symptoms as well as restore

vision. Japanese Knotweed testimonial

Whenever I hear success stories I always try to pass the information on. After

having a long chat with the people at www.buyactivatedcharcoal.com I began

asking questions about using charcoal as an eye patch to help with my mild

vision problems. The lady I spoke to did mention that one person who was losing

her vision tried the charcoal eye patches and restored her vision! Not everyone

will be guaranteed these same results but one will never know unless one tries

first. I am going to try this protocol very soon ‘see’ what happens with my

vision and also the achiness behind and around my eyes as well as the purple

bags I still have. I’m not surprised at all to hear eye symptoms resolving

once a powerful detoxifier like charcoal is used. This only further supports

the fact that toxins impair health and function. Certainly any eye symptom can

be traceable back to some type of liver dysfunction/toxicity which will not

always show up on blood tests or physical exams. Here is how to make the eye

patches:

Use:

1/3rd a cup of hot water

2 round tbsp’s of charcoal powder (can buy at most health food stores, sold as

activated charcoal or carbon)

½ tsp of psyllium husks

1 section of paper towel (drape it across across both eyes)

Do Not Microwave!

Mix the above ingredients together in a sink in case of mess. If the

consistency is that of a paste then it should be good to use. If it’s still

powdery add a tiny bit of water, if it’s too watery add a bit of

charcoal/psyllium.

Paste a strip of the charcoal mixture (2.5 to 3 inches wide) down the middle of

1 square of paper towel from top to bottom. Be sure to leave 1 inch of paper

towel on top and bottom un-pasted. This will help prevent leaks during the

folding process. Use a 2nd paper towel for the other eye and repeat this same

process.

Fold the paper towel so it doesn’t leak out.

Place charcoal poultice over each eye while lying down on your back. You can

use something to secure it in position and apply a light pressure to increase

the contact surface of the skin to the charcoal patch. Some apparently use

those night time eye mask (the one that keeps the light out). I would use a

spacer (piece of plastic for ex) to separate the charcoal patch from the eye

mask.

Use a minimum of 3 x a day 30 to 60 minutes each application. You don’t have

to use at night when sleeping if you find it uncomfortable. However if one

doesn’t notice any improvements with their eye symptoms after 3 applications a

day, then using the charcoal patches during sleep is also advisable.

Hope many see as good results as the person that restored her vision!

Here are some articles talking about how Lyme disease can cause many different

types of eye and vision problems:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/15/health/15brod.html?ref=science

“If untreated or inadequately treated, the infection can cause severe

migrating

joint pain and swelling, most often in the knees, weeks or months later. In

addition, several weeks, months or even years after an untreated infection, the

bacterium can cause meningitis, temporary facial paralysis, numbness or weakness

of the arms and legs, memory and concentration difficulties and changes in mood,

personality or sleep habits. Some untreated patients develop temporary heart

rhythm abnormalities, eye inflammation or hepatitis.â€

Inflammation of the cornea causing decreased vision and eye pain (keratitis)

Amazing recovery (including vision restoration) using Japanese Knotweed (herbal

source of Resveratrol):

Hi Robb,

Robb, here's a suggestion for you & your Dad. Maybe he'd be open to trying

this???? It's extremely safe, with no side effects. The only exception is it may

be advised against if the patient is taking a

blood thinner/anticoagulant such as Warfarin or Cumadin. (I'd personally " ditch "

the Warfarin and use this other thing, based on my personal results).

Write back to me & let me know if you'd like to talk by phone about this.

Resveratrol may have healing properties for treating any type of ulcer in the

digestive tract. It is typically used by those concerned about coagulation

problems, who wish to maintain good heart/blood flow health. Even better is

JAPANESE KNOTWEED, from which Resveratrol is derived.

If you are interested, I can send you some info. and help you order some. I can

also get dosage info, and info on how to put it in capsules, prepare a tincture,

etc. I wouldn't even suggest this, except I'm so absolutely convinced Japanese

Knotweed can help.

It can be taken in a tincture, whole (mild bitter taste) or put into gelatin

capsules. I call it " THE WONDER HERB " because it has tremendous healing

properties for any type of ulcer, inflammation, and blood vessel

damage/inflammation. It can heal ulcers in the stomach, for example.

I used Japanese Knotweed when I had severe hypoperfusion & possibly lesions on

both sides of my brain (neuro Lyme with Babesiosis & Bartonella, all of which

affect blood flow & the central nervous system/brain). The improvement was

IMMEDIATE, VERY RAPID, AND DRAMATIC. After three days, my balance improved

tremendously. I was able to turn without holding onto something to keep from

falling down. Brain fog improved a lot, and within a week I could start to

write on the computer, count, add, subtract, and balance my checkbook. Using the

Knotweed brought me back to being functional, from a state of having lost about

90% of my cognitive function. I had to read sentences several times to

comprehend them, and couldn't understand normal conversations.

I had a SPECT scan about three months later, which showed hypoperfusion in both

my parietal lobes. The doctor who read the scan told me it was probably

significantly diminished after one year of Lyme treatment.

It's not clear whether or not the J. Knotweed cleared my irritable bowel

syndrome and acid reflux as well, but they are also gone. I also no longer have

sensitivity to wheat. It's hard to say whether or not the Knotweed cleared that,

or ABX treatment for Lyme. Based on results of taking the Knotweed, I have to

believe it did a lot to heal the lesions/hypoperfusion.

I learned about Japanese Knotweed from reading Buhner's book, Healing Lyme. I'd

consider his Lyme protocol an adjunct to other treatments. BUT several herbs he

suggests cleared severe symptoms I had like eye problems (flashes of light,

floaters, poor vision, fuzzy spots in my field of vision). I think there's a lot

of merit to what he says.

At any rate, I thought I'd suggest it, because I think the Knotweed is just

fabulous stuff! The difficulty may lie in helping older people use it in a

palatable form (such as small capsules), and the fact most " mainstream " doctors

haven't heard of it. If they're not familiar with Resveratrol, they may be

unable to advise their patients as to its safety (and possible side effects).

I hope this helps
