> Doctor's Quotes and Statements

>

> Pau D'Arco; the Indians call it " Taheebo " , the Portuguese " Ipe

> Roxo " , and the Spanish " Lapacho " or " Tabebuia " .

>

> This fascinating herb is taken from the inner bark of the tall tree

> called La Pacho. It is an ozoniferous plant, and grows only in the

> mountains of the Andes, where there is ozone.

>

> Ozone air is fresh, pure, and free from pollution, smog, exhaust,

> smoke and pesticides.

>

> Pau D'Arco has been used since the time of the Incas by the

> Callaways, a traditional tribe or caste of healers, which flourished

> before the Spanish and Portuguese invasion in the early 1500's.

>

> During the past 400 years, these traditional healers have

> occasionally seen and ministered to white men, but the tree whose

> miraculous inner bark they used was not officially " discovered "

> until about 20 years ago by two health practioners Teodoro Meyer,

> M.D. and Prats Ruiz, M.D.

>

> Dr. Teodoro Meyer, Professer of Botany and Plant Geography of the

> National Unoiversity of Tucuman in Argentina, found the inner bark

> to

> possess a wide range of properties.

>

> Dr, Meyer states Pau D'Arco is " analgesic, sedative, decongestant,

> diuretic, and hypotensive " . Such properties have justified its use

> for many different ailments.

>

> Recently a new use has been found for Pau D'Arco which may allow

> thousands of allergic and chemically sensitive people to live more

> comfortable lives.

>

> Researchers have discovered that the Pau D'Arco tree is the only

> type of vegetation known that will not permit the development of

> fungus,

> Most plant life when exposed to water and weather become covered

> with spores which lead to fungus formation.

>

> This doesn't occur with Pau D'Arco.

> The tree has an uncommon resistance.

>

> This discovery has led to an experimentation on people who have

> yeast or

> mold allergy, the assumption being that these same properties may

> discourage Candida Albicans {a common yeast} long suspected to be

> the causative factor in food allergy.

>

> Another researcher, Dr, Owens, has found Candida Albicans to

> be correlated with " Chemical Hypersensitivity and other

> immunological-related disorders. "

>

> The hope has been raised that not only might Pau D'Arco control the

> yeast and mold allergy, but also many other sensitivities as well.

>

> Dr. Andersen, M.D., a Mill Valley, California health

> practitioner, treated a woman with a difficult yeast infection. " Two

> hours after using the tea as a douche the vaginal yeast infection

> was

> cleared up nicely, " he says.

>

> Dr. 's patients now begin drinking Pau D'Arco tea-1/2 to 1

> cup tea per day, increasing to a maintenance dose of 4 cups per day

> in approximately 1 month.

>

> Those who are using Pau D'Arco report that sometimes the symptoms

> become worse initially, This is attributed to " yeast die-off. " The

> theory is that as the yeast die and are filtered into the

> bloodstream they cause allergic reactions.

>

> These reactions last only a short time.

>

> Phyllis Saifer, M.D., a clinical ecologist from Berkeley, reports

> good results from members of the Environmental Illness Association

> who are now using Pau D'Arco. Two members who previously experienced

> incapacitating cerebral symptoms now claim to be in good health with

> few

> or no remaining symptoms.

> One of the victims had been taking 16 Nystatin pills (an anti-yeast

> medication) daily.

>

> Dr. Walter Accorsi, doing clinical studies at the Municipal Hospital

> Santo Andre, said: " From my first experiments with Pau D'Arco, I

> learned two important things that greatly encouraged me in regard to

> cancer:

> first it eliminates the pain and second,

> it multiplies the amount of red corpuscles. "

>

> The Cancer Institute has this report in " Cancer Chemotherapy

> Reports " Part 2, Vol. 4, No. 4, Dec. 1974:

> " More recently Pau D'Arco contains Quechua, a substance found to be

> a powerful antibiotic with virus-killing properties. "

>

> Clinical studies showed that Pau D'Arco has no contraindications, no

> incompatabilities, and has been proven to be non-toxic.

>

>

> OTHER COMMENTS

>

> Dr. Norman Farnsworth of the University of Illinois confirms the

> claims that Pau D' Arco contains a substance that is highly

> effective against cancers.

>

> While many herbs are credited with properties that stop cell growth,

> Pau d'Arco contains compounds which seem to attack the " cause " of

> the disease.

>

> Dr. Duke of the National Institute of Health (NIH) agrees that

> Pau D'Arco undoubtedly contains a substance found to be highly

> effective against cancers.

>

> Heinerman, a medical anthropologist who specializes in the

> study of herbal medicines, says,

>

> " It sounds too good to be true, but it seems to have earned for

> itself considerable merit in the successful treatment of most forms

> of cancer, diabetes, and certain other debilitating diseases... "

>

> R.C. Pilsner, D.Sc. and licensed nutrition specialist, writes,

>

> " Being a biochemist, I have researched and analyzed many elements

>

> for their nutrient value and their peculiar selective actions

> on...organs and tissues. "

>

> Pilsner has discovered that certain herbs emit an ultraviolet wave

> known as Gurwich rays.

>

> These rays stimulate cell metabolism and the body's own ability to

> rejuvenate itself. He believes that herbs emitting the Gerwich rays

> include Pau D'Arco.

>

> Pilsner has subjected Pau D'Arco to rigorous laborotory tests and

> recommends daily use of Pau D'Arco tea as a nutritional supplement.
