Re: Re: Pau D'arco. Where to buy?

[Guest guest]

When I asked about my concerns over price he clearly said, " prices are

all over the place " and one of the other sites mentioned yesterday has equally

low prices and they also provide what they claim to be, Organic and other

wild-crafted herbs etc. Obviously is 'comfortable' with the source

mentioned and I clearly recall his mentioning Pacific Botanicals as a source but

that doesn't mean he endorses it. I do not think many suppliers of bulk items

give a lot of information and I suppose they rightfully assume anyone seeking a

bulk supply of something already knows enough about it.

Remember, we are speaking Inner Bark (wood).......not a highly refined

production..something coming from a tree. The final

answer.................regardless of where we purchase something from, how do we

know the original opinions developed are valid today? We are 'up for grabs'

and by now most of us have discovered that prices are 'all over the place'. If

anyone wants us to not waste money by buying the most expensive items, it is

. I also suppose he is not able to 'test' and determine who has the

best Pau d' Arco. It always comes down to making a decision. The last thing

I would be concerned with is the information a source provides. It's

'Bark'........wood.... from one of two recommended varieties. Get your

information on using the product from someone that knows about it, not the

supplier. One doesn't always get what they pay for.

Joe,

I was purchasing Pau D'arco from Pacific Botanicals. However, what got me

suspicious is the fact that their price for Pau D'arco is 5 times cheaper than

everyone else's. Also they don't provide any detailed information about their

product, neither send you any instructions on how to use it. Do you have any

information on the fact that this is the company that we can trust? I never

heard mentioning this company. He gave me a brochure from

www.pau-d-arco.com. This website doesn't sell any Pau D'arco, however this is

very informative site and that's where I got my initial education on Pau D'arco

from.

If you call the number on the brochure from you can place the order

for the product. They do sell it and it is who buys from.

If you can find a cheap source then go for it. I

have looked at several products under a

microscope and they look the same. They also

taste about the same and look the same and look

about the same when brewed into a tea.

if you want to be sure to buy inner bark, buy it in raw form as in powder it is

impossible to determine if it is inner bark, except from HPLC analysis and

presence of lapachol...

Hi ,

Thank you for your post. The brochure that I got from you

(http://www.pau-d-arco.com) says that even though the outer bark looks and

smells the same, it's essentially useless products. And I rather pay more for

the product that I know will be beneficial to me. However, the sad thing is, the

regular consumer can't tell the difference if it's inner bark or outer bark or a

mix. Can you recommend a supplier that you trust?

Thanks,

Yana

Thank you for your help and assistance.

Looks like it is too late for him and he must go to liver surgery.

He had colon cancer which after chemotherapy spread to his liver. And after

second chemotherapy cancer grew too much and they told him they have to cut

some part of his liver.

Chemotherapy is a very bad thing and people should stay away from

chemotherapy and eat healthy and exercise. In the NaturalNews I read that

chemotherapy creates second cancer. It spreads rather than curing.

I wish people read more and learn from experience.

It is too hard to lose close friends when you know there is a way you can

change your life for the better.

Thank you all

I love my Glass percolator and have used it for a couple of months now.

However, someone here pointed out to me that the top of the basket which

holds the powder is aluminum, which I never thought about. Anyone have any

thoughts about this aluminum? The newer glass percolators, which are

readily and easily available have a plastic basket to hold the powder.

Anyone care to comment on that one?

Greetings,

It is still possible to get stainless steel, including the innards. I

love the old glass ones that were all glass, no aluminum. Lehmans has a

pure glass drip, not electric, you need hot water from a different

source that they just came out with. It is pricey, but it is a choice.

I feel like I am beating this subject to death and the Percolator sounds

neat.......................then there's the boil and filter/decanter system

that works just fine. If one is drinking a lot of the tea...........then

one needs to make a lot. I can make a week or two supply by boiling and

filtering through a SS strainer and decanter for the residue that escapes

the strainer. If one is just doing a 'maintenance dose'.......say a cup a

day then maybe the percolator would be ideal. ?? I just do not know

and perhaps someone with some background in a perc vs boil while getting

enough out of the bark can fill us in.

Who is Lehman's? Can you send a link? If it is just s regular drip coffeemaker

it wouldn't be good as you need to boil/percolate the Pau D'Arco tea for about

25 minutes.

My husband drinks 4 cups per day so I make 9 cups every other day in the Pyrex

percolator but I never gave any thought to the aluminum cover that sits on top

of the glass basket

Greetings,

Lehmans.com is an Amish store that is serious about non-electric, old

fashioned merchandise. It is a standard drip coffee maker, so it won't

do for Pau D'arco, but for those who still like coffee but want it

without plastic or aluminum, it is a great option. They also carry

stainless steel percolators, with stainless inserts. I got mine from them.

Bright Blessings,
