Pau D'arco Tea

[Guest guest]

I will suggest that you try a little honey with your tea. I will not drink

Pom Wonderful due to high content of sugar.

Thanks though Jim. POM Wonderful makes it drinkable for me. I even tried lemon

and lemon peel...still not good. Wish I liked it as it is very good for BC.

I don't like the taste, however, sometimes I add a bit of lemon juice to just

alter the taste a bit. Perhaps you could put it in your mind it is 'medicine'

and the doctor ordered it. Hold you nose and drink. As most have come to

learn, Pau d' Arco has a lot of 'good' recommendations and from the advice given

to me, " drink copious amounts of it " .

I have been happy with Pacific Botanicals, their prices, and they offer two

grinds. Powder that recommends and the Shredded. Filtering out the

rough-stuff from the powder is an effort but at the end, if you use Cheese

Cloth, you can decanter the residue. I'm glad to see you interested in getting

Pau d' Arco.

It does. I spoke with a woman who gave it to her husband, 4 c/day. He had

stage 4 stomach cancer, nothing Dr.'S could do. In addition she put him on a

strict diet. His tests now show him as 'cancer free'.

SOUTH AMERICAN CANCER CURE

ANCIENT FOLK MEDICINE

This article is one of the first printed, years ago, in a U.S. publication about

the curing powers of Pau d'Arco. It is reprinted here from " The Spotlight " which

is a " populist " weekly newspaper published in Washinton, D.C. Could an ancient

South American Indian folk medicine cure many types of cancer? Physicians and

former cancer patients say yes. This has been widely reported on in newspapers

in Latin America, but not in the U.S.

South American physicians are using Indian folk medicine to successfully treat

various forms of cancer - including leukemia - and other debilitating disease,

but news of the cures has not made it into the American media.

According to reports published in various South American periodicals prior to

the establishment-imposed blackout, the inner bark of two South American trees

of the Bignoniaceae family are used successfully in the treatment of various

diseases, including cancer.

A brew made with the inner bark of Lapacho Colorado (Tabebuia Avellanedae) or

Lapacho Morado (Tabebuia Altissima) seems to attack the cause of the disease,

according to medical reports.

Lapacho Colorado, or red lapacho - so called because of its scarlet flowers -

grows in the warmer part of South America: Brazil, northern Argentina, Paraguay,

Bolivia etc. It was commonly used by the medicine men of the Guarani and

Tupi-Nambo Indians long before the advent of the Spanish in the New World.

Another name for the lapachos is ipes, a name used in southern Brazil. Red

lapacho is called ipe roxo. Still another name for the trees is pau d'arco; red

lapacho is called pau d'arco roxo. " Pau d'arco " means " bow stick " ; the natives

use the wood to make their bows for archery.

The red lapacho is very common in its range, the tropical lowlands.The lapacho

morado, or purple lapacho, grows in cooler climes - in the Andes, for example.

In its range, it is not rare.

Red lapacho was discovered by the white man's medicine some 20 years ago at

Americana - a suburb of Sao o, Brazil. That was where several hundred

Confederate families homesteaded at the invitation of Emperor Dom Pedro II after

the South was lost.

YOUNG GIRL CURED

The story of cancer-curing properties of the tropical bark begins about 20 years

ago, when a Sao o family had a homecoming party after a trip to Rio de

Janeiro. During dinner they told the story of a young relative of theirs - a

girl who was stricken with cancer.

The medical establishment had given up on the girl and had told the parents that

she did not have long to live. But a great aunt had contacted an Indian tribal

doctor who said that cancer could be cured with the brew made from the bark of a

certain tree.The medicine man gave the woman a little bag of that bark.

The young girl and her parents at first disdained the medicine man's concoction.

But then the sick girl had a strange dream. She saw a friar who told her: " Drink

tea brewed with the bark the Indian gave you, and you will get well. " At first

she paid no attention to the dream, but as her pain increased, the dream

repeated itself.

Finally she decided to try the tea. [Could this friar be the Catholic St. Padre

Pio, a known Capuchin priest who bilocated and still appears in people's

dreamshealingthem to this day? - ]

Her pain vanished. Encouraged by the results, she continued to take the medicine

every morning. Within a month, she was well, and her regular doctor told her

parents that no trace of her cancer could be found.The hosts had brought back a

bag of the bark as a souvenir.

A MAVERICK MEDICO

One of the guests at the party was a medical doctor from the nearby town of

Santo Andre, who showed great interest in the bark and begged a sample.

Dr. Orlando dei Santi - the guest left the party early and went directly to the

Municipal Hospital of Santo Andre, another suburb of Sao o, where he was a

resident physician. There, his cancer-stricken brother lay, near death. The

cancer victim had just undergone a second operation, and his condition had been

declared " inoperable and terminal. " He was beyond Establishment treatment.

In the course of his medical studies, dei Santi had been taught the need to

study methodically any empirical remedy, such as those used by Indian tribes,

before even thinking of using it. He had learned that the medical researcher

" must " first try to extract the active part or parts of the plant claimed to

have the therapeutic value.

Then the researcher must test the extracts in the laboratory on animals, and

finally on human volunteers. One must patent the drug and get a respected

pharmaceutical manufacturer to produce the resulting pills, extracts, etc.

Only then - once the medicine is on the market - could one consider using it on

a patient. Otherwise, a doctor would be defenseless against charges of

malpractice and face the danger of losing his medical license. That, of course,

is the proper procedure approved by the medical authorities in Brazil and

throughout the rest of the civilized world.

Fortunately for the dying cancer victim in the Santo Andre Municipal Hospital,

his brother was one doctor who decided not to adhere to the orthodox procedures

in this case.

Instead, he took the bark, boiled it in white wine, mixed the still-hot brew

with orange juice and let his brother drink the concoction on an empty stomach.

As if by a miracle, the patient's pain disappeared, and he was able to sleep

soundly. After a month of uninterupted treatment with the brew, he was

discharged from the hospital. A thorough examination had found no trace of

cancer remaining.

CURE CAUGHT ON

After this startling development, the physicians at the Municipal Hospital of

Santo Andre decided to break the rules for the benefit of other cancer patients,

beginning with those of the " terminal " list. This happened near the end of 1960.

Since then, the physicians at the small provincial town hospital have noticed

that the pain suffered by patients with leukemia or other cancers disappeared

within hours after they received the brew made from the inner bark of pau d'arco

roxo. They also found that, within 30 days of treatment with this medicine, most

patients no longer showed any symptoms of the dread disease.

They noticed that many other afflictions from which some of the cancer patients

suffered - such as diabetes - would disappear even more quickly than the cancer.

The physicians were amazed.

Since the early 1960s, this bark has been used regularly at the Municipal

Hospital of Santo Andre to treat leukemia as well as numerous diseases where

viruses were suspected as the cause. Both the herb stores and the " legitimate "

pharmacies in Brazil now carry this bark.

" O Cruzeiro " (March 18 and 25, 1967), the respected Rio de Janeiro weekly,

published two long, illustrated articles about this remedy and the Municipal

Hospital of Santo Andre, where it is used to cure a host of diseases. One of the

pictures shows a patient's chart at the head of his bed. Below the patient's

name, age, etc is the diagnosis: " cancer of the lung. " And, further below, in

large handwritten letters, the prescription:

Pau d'Arco

Dear,

I've to correct here some points. It is not lapachol having all the properties

you mentioned, it is another nathtoquinone called beta lapachone. This one is

present only in trace in classical tabebuia avellanedae extract. Beta lapachone

is so powerfull that it is in phase II clinical trial. Lapachol was drawn back

at NCI due to toxic reaction like anemia.

you are right. But from inner bark tabebuia, the right part to extract from you

don't have lapachol. This one is in the bark. We are very specialized in this

extract, with all the expertise to get certified 3% level naphtoquinones but not

lapachol, only alpha and beta lapachone, these were encapsulated in cylco

dextrins to get solubility and improved assimilation.

From: JoeCastron

Re: Pau D'Arcy Tea

It is my understanding the problems with Lapachol is that they used it in an

isolated form thereby changing how our body reacts to it. I have used Pau d'

Arco in large amounts, on and off for more than 4 years and some times in

amounts equaling 3 eight ounce glasses a day. Interestingly enough it has been

explained to me that it is 'more' than just the Lapachol that is important in

cancer treatment.
