A more detailed article with nice picture here.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/03/100309182449.htm

I read a testimonial from a woman who SWORE that Papaya Tea cured her cancer.

She had setup a website to tell the world about it! She said to take 3 teaspoons

in 8 ozs of water in a coffeemaker or you could fill a teabag with it and steep.

Very simple and inexpensive. Most online herb shops should carry it. I bought

the cut & sifted, not powder thinking it should be less processed that way.

Still have 75% of the 1 Lb bag I bought 3 years ago...it lasts a long time.

I'm so happy to see this. I've been posting about papaya cures since 2005 in

different health groups but it seemed nobody wanted to believe it. Make sure you

use NON-METALLIC (for emphasis only) cookware like vision, corningware, or

enamel coated. Be aware though that you get non-gmo papayas. Papayas from

Hawaii have been gmodified before other plants. It was one of the first to be

modified. Now this gmo papayas don't give out papain, the white milk sap, from

the plant, leaves, and mature green fruit, that dissolves the hard protein

covering of the cancer cell so that the immune system can attack and kill it.

Monsanto also gmoed native most potent known papayas in the Philippines and has

distributed it with the Philippine gov'ts concurrence (made me really sad).

i buy ours from mountainroseherbs.com. Also mature green papaya from Asian

stores, if not gmo, should weep white sap when poked with finger nails, which is

the papain. If you combine the leaves and skin, it can be so potent even your

warts on your skin would fall off, after ssooo much itching.

Just saw this very interesting post about papaya and would like to try it, but

am confused. How is it ingested? I went to mountainroseherbs and cannot figure

it out. From the warnings about the non-metallic cookware, it looks like it

involves cooking.

Nance I did not see the post on papaya, but I know it reacts with metal. Papaya

and Pawpaw's are from the same family tree. I use to have papaya tea in a metal

cup it would cote the inside of the cup with a brown oxide, I now have it in

a enamel cup. Papaya is truly a cancer fighting carotenoids high in potassium

and contains enzymes that help break down proteins. especially the protein p3

shields around tumors both these fruits also work on the ATP of the cell (the

way the cell gets its food.)  I feel the one problem with it is that the dose of

these cancer fighting chemicals is far to low to do much good any way see the

two links one on paw paw and papaya.

The lady that cured her cancer said either steep the tea in a teabag or 3

teaspoons Papaya leaves per 8 *cups* of water in a coffeemaker, per the

coffeemaker measurements. (I said 8 ozs earlier by mistake).

I'm not an expert, but I believe most herbal/plant teas become more " active " ,

the longer you steep them. So it may be better to get some type of teabag where

you could refill it with new papaya and dump out the old, then let it steep for

2-3 minutes and drink.

-Where to buy-

MountainRoseHerbs has a $10 minimum order and shipping is a bit high, but they

carry quality herbs. 2 lbs would last a very long time, maybe could split with

someone.

This is true,  I  use to leave my Papaya leaves in my cup  for at least

10 minutes  before drinking, But   I now make a jug of Papaya leaves tea. put

it in the fridge and  drink it cold this makes it a lot stronger. and  I like

it better this way.  Ray Randall

Just make sure that your papaya is non-gmo.

For cancer cure ripe papaya is taken for its lycopene. The mature green papaya

fruit's skin (after washing well; all skin of one fruit) is taken and combined

with three fresh or 1/4 cup dried leaves and you can put one liter of water and

boil them together, then simmer until liquid is just half the original amount.

Drink this tea throughout the day. You may refrigerate the tea up to three

days. Normally, if you drink this throughout the day, then you make new ones

everyday. The seeds can also be chopped and included with the fresh/dried leaves

and green papaya skin. This makes the tea real potent. With this potency, warts

in the body will itch so much for several days, turn red, then taper off and

voila, all warts are gone.

It is papain that aids in the cancer cure among other things. You will note

below that papain enzyme is hardly present in ripe papaya fruit.

Please bear in mind no metal cookware whatsoever. Glass, corningware stovetop

cookware are suitable.

and From the Weston Price Foundation:

PAPAYA (PAWPAW)

Carica papaya

Papaya originated from tropical American countries and is now grown worldwide.

Even though it is a tropical plant it may be grown with success as an indoor

plant in colder climates. The leaves, fruit, skin, seeds, flowers, latex and

roots may be used in a variety of concoctions. The leaves may be dried, (24C)

stored in a cool dry place and used as a herbal tea. The fruit may be sliced,

dried in a dehydrator (24C) and stored as for any other dried fruit.

The flesh of the mature green papaya is very high in papain (an enzyme that is

used in a dried form to tenderise meat). Papain and other plant enzymes are able

to tolerate a wide range of PH so that they are able to work both in an acid

stomach and an alkaline small intestine. The flesh of the mature green papaya

may be used to assist in the digestion, thereby taking pressure of the pancreas.

It is reported that the enzymes in papaya are able to digest undigested debris

in the intestinal tract. The enzymes in papaya are used to ripen the fruit so

that by the time a papaya is fully ripe, very few enzymes are left.

It goes without saying that the papaya be grown without the use of pesticides or

chemicals, especially if you are going to use the leaves or the skin or the

fruit.

Papaya Sprouts

The seeds of ripe papaya are very easy to germinate. Just bury them about 1/2

inch under good composted soil in a planter box or directly in the garden. If

the weather is warm they will germinate in less than a week. If you live in a

cold climate then place the planter box in a warm place (30C) , such as on top

of a water heater. When the plants reach about 20cm high they may be harvested

and the entire plant used to make a tea, added to sauerkraut, or blended in a

banana smoothie.

Papaya Tea

Chop up three leaves and cook in one litre of water. Simmer until the water is

reduced to half, strain and store in the refrigerator. Fifty ml, three times a

day is considered to be a therapeutic dose. For preventative measures it is used

in much the same way that the Japanese drink green tea.

Papaya tea goes off within about 3 days so if you do not have a fresh supply

then you may consider preserving the leaves and fruit either by drying or

lacto-fermentation.

Papaya Pepper

The seeds may be dried in a dehydrator then ground in a mortar and pestle, and

used like pepper.

Papaya Sauerkraut

The flesh of the mature green papaya makes a pleasantly bitter sauerkraut. For

therapeutic purposes the skin may be left on but it will make it very bitter.

The skin is reputed to have the same beneficial effects as the leaves.

Kombucha Papaya Tea

Papaya tea may be used in place of black tea to make a Kombucha tea. The papaya

tea extract may also be preserved by mixing one part papaya tea with three parts

of Kombucha tea. You may also preserve the peel of the mature green papaya in

Kombucha tea that has gone to vinegar.

Papaya Smoothie

Papaya smoothies are very easy to make. Just blend ripe papaya with banana and

your choice of fruits such as passion fruit or orange. Add raw milk or kefir for

additional nutrition and flavour.

For added health benefits, instead of a ripe papaya, use mature green papaya

with or without the skin. As mature green papaya may be quite hard, it may help

to grate the green papaya before blending it.

Ripe papaya also makes a delicious desert. Chop the papaya into 1 inch cubes

then sprinkle with lemon juice.

Illnesses And Their Traditional Treatment with Papaya

Harald Tietze lists about fifty ailments, including cancer, that respond well to

papaya. You may wish to do an internet search for more information on Stan

Sheldon who claims he cured himself and others of cancer with papaya.

Cautions

In rare cases people have been allergic to the pollen of papaya. The latex from

the plant or green fruit may burn the lips. Pregnant women should avoid recipes

containing unripe fruit, skins, leaves, seeds or latex since this may lead to an

abortion. Over dosing may have negative effects. Women from traditional

societies used papaya as a contraceptive.

1997.

________________________________________

12 Points on MATURE GREEN PAPAYA (PAWPAW)

Written and compiled by Dr Whitman Ray N.D., M.D. (M.A.)

1. Mature Green Papaya (Pawpaw) contains an excellent source of enzymes,

minerals and vitamins. Mature Green Papaya contains more Vitamin A than carrots,

more Vitamin C than oranges, abundant Vitamin B factors and Vitamin E. Mature

Green Papaya also contains a complex of' enzymes that help digest proteins,

carbohydrates and fats. The Mature Green Papaya (Pawpaw) should be used totally

with skin, flesh and seeds. The papaya should be chemical free. The papain in

the entire pawpaw observed as a white sap or fluid is not found in the ripe

pawpaw. Blend the Mature Green Pawpaw with other fresh fruits to make a splendid

flavoured smoothie drink which, when consumed at the time of blending will be

full of enzymes which will be of maximum benefit to the consistent user.

2. Papain is the principal and most active enzyme in the Mature Green Papaya.

Papain possesses a very powerful digestive action superior to pepsin and

pancreatin. Changes in intestinal alkalinity or acidity do not interfere with

the unique digestive activity of papain. Papain breaks down meat fibres, thereby

rendering nutrients available to the digestive process'. This emphasized the

need for papain in the diet of meat eaters as well as vegetarians.

3. Papain, one of the most powerful plant proteolytic enzymes, is a catalytic

agent that will act in protein digestion in an acid, alkaline or neutral medium.

This is of vital importance for those with enzyme deficiency problems as well as

for those with low hydrochloric acid output in the stomach. Remember, the pepsin

produced in the stomach required for protein digestion is activated only in an

acid medium. This requires a healthy output of hydrochloric acid, which is

insufficient in most people. Due to the powerful proteolytic action of papain, a

more active protein digestant than pepsin, a major digestive problem for most

people will be helped by the daily ingestion of Mature Green Papaya.

4. A major problem in our diets today is that we only partially digest the

protein foods we consume. This is due in part to the insufficient hydrochloric

acid output by the stomach. These partially digested proteins help attribute to

rnucoprotein build up in the body. This is due to the undigested protein

molecules making their way into the system and eventually finding their way into

the interstitial spaces and accumulating there as mucoprotein, as

polysaccharide-protein combination. This mucoprotein is also known as trapped

plasma protein. The proteolytic action of' papain can digest the protein we

consume so that the accumulation of trapped plasma protein can be prevented. The

accumulation of mucoprotein in the interstitial spaces and lymphatic system is

the basic cause of lymphatic congestion.

5. Mature Green Papaya possesses antiseptic qualities and helps prevent the

abnormal proliferation of undesirable bacteria in the intestines. The pH of the

intestines is then kept normalized with the addition of acidophilus which aids

in normalizing the intestinal flora.

6. Papain, found abundantly in the Mature Green Papaya (pawpaw), acts as a

powerful mucus and pus solvent. Papain helps to cleanse the tissues and

intestinal walls of all waste matter in the form of excessive mucus and dead

tissue. Papain in the whole papaya or in the Mature Green Papaya is harmless to

living tissue and is a must for the maintenance of health in the intestinal

tract.

7. In scientific studies using papain as a digestant, it has been established

that proteins are " actually chemically transformed into all the various amino

acids that are so vital to human nutrition " . Papain has the property to

transform albumanoids into peptones in either an acid, alkaline or neutral

medium, making it superior to pepsin.

8. Arginine, one of the essential amino acids, is not normally produced within

the body, but must be obtained as a component of a few foods such as eggs and

brewer's yeast. These foods must be eaten with some regularity if the

reproductive organs are to function properly. However, when papain is allowed to

act upon many kinds of proteins it has a singular distinctive power of

converting a portion of the protein mass to arginine, even in the intestine.

9. This unique ability of papain to break down protein and to convert a portion

of it into arginine is extremely important because arginine in its natural form

has been found to influence the production of the human growth hormone or HGH.

HGH is produced in the pituitary gland and is directly responsible for DNA and

RNA replication as well as synthesis in liver, muscle, cartilage and adipose

tissues. Arginine ingested in connection with exercise has been found to raise

the production of HGH significantly. This HGH helps to increase muscle tone and

decrease the amount of body fat. Arginine has also been found to inhibit the

growth of human breast cancer cells in test tube studies.

10. The papain in the Mature Green Papaya (pawpaw) works to break down various

protein foods so that the individual amino acids are produced and

auto-intoxicating or other undesirable, undigested substances are avoided. High

blood pressure, constipation, arthritis, epilepsy , and diabetes are only a few

of the ailments aggravated by incomplete protein digestion. While the presence

of papain may not always prevent these abnormalities, it has the power to help

regulate these abnormalities through proper digestion.

11. The Mature Green Papaya (pawpaw) contains several enzymes in addition to the

papain used for protein digestion. Carbohydrates and fat digestion can be

accomplished by the enzymes found in the Mature Green Papaya. These papaya

enzymes have the ability to infiltrate the tissues. By this means, it can help

dissolve injured and hardened tissues, thus tending to alleviate hardening of

the arteries.

In scientific studies using proteolytic enzymes it has been fully established

that the immune system is greatly enhanced by the ingestion of proteolytic

enzymes. Papain is the number one plant proteolytic enzyme thus placing it in a

very important position to help maintain optimum health through an active immune

system that is often destroyed by toxic mercury from silver amalgam fillings,

fluoride additives to the water, toothpaste and children's mouthwash well as

chemical sprays such as malathion and paraquat.

12. Papaya is the only known food containing papain, the active principal enzyme

in Mature Green Papaya. Remember, it digests protein thoroughly and frees the

amino acids for quick absorption by the body. Since it acts impartially in acid,

neutral and alkaline mediums, it is extremely valuable for the aged or anyone

who has weak digestion due to enzyme deficiencies that have developed over the

years. These 12 points establish the Mature Green Papaya (pawpaw) as a superior

food to ensure proper digestive activity.

REFERENCE: The above 12 points are copyright Dr Whitman Ray and were given

to me in photocopied form, by one of one his students ( Grimshaw-) in

the mid 1990's, when Dr visited Queensland for training purposes. I am

unsure of who to approach re copyright permissions but have published this page

in the belief that Dr would probably have given me permission. If you know

of anything to the contrary then please email me if I am incorrect in this

assumption.

Not sure if I answered your question, but how its done is to buy Papaya leaves

(I prefer cut & shredded, not powder) then make them into a tea and drink up.

One way is to use 3 teaspoons Papaya leaves per 8 cups of water in a

coffeemaker, per coffeemaker measurements. A probably better more way is to

steep the leaves for 3-10 minutes in a teabag, then drink. Its simple, easy and

economical. 1 LB lasts a looooong time at 3 tsp's per serving. Big Pharma is

probably just cringing in their shorts over this one!

Here is a long but very excellent document made by Virginia on wherein

she also includes a WIPO patent application and other researches. It used to be

available at www.papayaleavesforcancer.com, however, it does not appear anymore

in the search engines. But i am posting it here for everyone's perusal hoping

it will heal someone's cancer. This is my favorite among so many. BTW i see

that there are now numerous websites to visit on papaya...it used to be around

25 only.

To oxygenate cells, aside from eating 11 servings of fresh vegetables and 4

servings of fresh fruits, there is also the Herb Tea (Geranium

ianum) which is known as a potent cancer cure by oxygenating cells.

INTRODUCTION

When I first read the claim that a papaya leaf dried and put in hot water makes

a tea that can treat, slow

down, or prevent cancer I did not believe this was truth. The form that I first

read this claim was in an

international patent-pending and my first thought was, " How dare this person

make this claim " . To me, this

claim had potential to be hugely offensive. I lost my mother to cancer when she

was fifty-five, just at the

most exciting part of her career, and certainly not because she had done

anything to " deserve " cancer. My

mother lived the life of a saint; always two steps behind my father holding him

up. She followed him all the

way to Africa because he wanted to be a missionary—only to lose her life to

cancer when it was finally her

chance to become accomplished as an artist and art historian. So to me, the

opportunity of a very simple

papaya leaf to make a tea that could have given my mother more life is a very

serious claim.

Honestly, I probably followed up on it out of anger.

My merciful God quickly turned my anger into hope. Frantically I looked for some

evidence that this little

leaf was a lie. What I got was not faith, but something much more human. I got

scientific proof. I found

more scientists from all over the world who made the same claim. There were

clinical trials. For example,

226 people in Switzerland with stage four cancer. The 160 patients that got the

leaf enzyme lived three

extra years. I have frustration that all of these scientists and doctors can

speak of the life-giving miracle in

this leaf and I don't understand why nobody " regular " knows.

I ordered three papaya trees online to grow in my backyard. I was going to make

the tea myself to see how

it made me feel. This was too easy. I just took leaves off of the baby trees as

they grew (I always left two),

let them air dry, crushed them with my hand into my coffee-maker filter and

pressed " brew " . The tea tastes

like green tea. I've been drinking about a pot a day since. Now four months

later I have two hundred trees

in my backyard, and four hundred still trying to come out of the soil. I am

admittedly obsessed.

I am writing this book because I want you to know what I've spent three hundred

hours to learn. I am a

special kind of learner in that my training is in information science. I am not

the kind of scientist that

studies the reaction of one particular kind of cell to one particular kind of

stimulus for a lifetime. I am not

the kind of scientist that has one very specific theory of how a specific

category of people are affected by a

specific chemical and am willing to spend twenty five years to do clinical

studies to prove it. Instead, I am

an information scientist. I can find the lifetime works of other scientists,

studies going on now, cultural

traditions, historical medicine and the changes over time, general theory,

postulates, experiments, stories of

the interaction of scientists and the business world, etc. I find this

information, work until I feel that it is

properly substantiated by other information and then draw logical, hopefully not

too flawed, conclusions.

My soul and dear friend, Ms. Margaret , told some people in her church

about what she had heard

about this leaf, the " papayasiz " . One of her church members and her husband came

to my place of business

and asked me if I was the one that knew about the papaya. We went into the

office and I told them more

about this leaf. I told her I'd give her some plants and some dried leaves for

tea until the plants grew up.

She said, " …The Lord will bless you seven times for telling me this…you could

have kept this secret to

yourself… " I'm humbled by her statement because I don't know how I'm going to

tell enough people in

time to save their Moms and Dads. I wanted to tell Mr. and Ms. that I

feel in my heart that God

will bless me when I've told tens of thousands of people, and once I figure out

a way for these people to

actually have the blessings of this leaf for themselves.

Please help me in this way: If you read this book and then understand how I do,

then find a way to use this

leaf to the betterment of your own health. Then, if you can, tell this

information to someone else who can

benefit, too, like my dear friend did.

compositions or food compositions for cancer prevention, treatment, or

improvement that are

highly effective in the treatment and prevention of cancer, and yet have few

side effects and a high

level of safety. As a result of exhaustive research regarding the aforementioned

objective, the

present inventors discovered that components of papaya, preferably one or more

extracted papaya

components obtained by brewing papaya, have superior effects in the treatment of

cancer, and

that accordingly, they can become compositions or food compositions for cancer

prevention,

treatment, or improvement with few side effects and a high level of safety, thus

completing the

present invention. Accordingly, the present invention relates to compositions or

food compositions

for cancer prevention, treatment, or improvement that comprise as active

ingredients one or more

components of the papaya plant {Carica papaya) , and preferably one or more

components

extracted by brewing a part of a papaya plant. A more detailed explanation of

the present

invention is provided below. The present invention uses components of the papaya

plant (Carica

papaya) , preferably components extracted by brewing a part of a papaya plant

tissue, as active

ingredients. The tissue of the papaya plant may be any of its leaves, roots,

stems or fruit, but the

leaves are particularly preferable. Preferably, this papaya tissue is dried, and

the dried material

thus obtained is added to cold water or boiling water, brewed for a long time,

and the brew thus

obtained is used as an active ingredient. Alternatively, without drying the

papaya leaves (or some

other tissue) , the leaves may be added to cold water or boiling water and

brewed. More

specifically, papaya leaves, for example, may be left in the sun, normally for

one or two days, and

dried to obtain the dried material. One to several of these dried leaves are

added to cold water or

boiling water (normally 400 ml to 3000 ml) , and preferably 500 ml to 1000 ml,

and brewed for

normally two hours to 15 hours, and preferably three hours to 12 hours. The

vessel used for

brewing is preferably not a metal vessel, but rather a glass, wooden, plastic or

other vessel. A

component thus obtained, particularly a component extracted by brewing papaya,

comprises the

effect of suppressing the proliferation of cancer cells, and can be used as it

is as an active

ingredient of the composition or food composition according to the present

invention.

The dose of the brew/extract components or fractionated components thereof to be

administered

will depend on the dosage form, symptoms of the subject, type of cancer or the

like. However, for

example, when the brew/extract is taken, it is normally preferable to take an

amount of 100 ml to

750 ml (3 cups) per day, every day for between one month and three months. When

the fractionated

5

components are taken, it is preferable to take an amount of 10 ml to 200 ml per

day, every day for

between one month and three months. Also, the present invention provides food

compositions that

comprise a papaya {Carica papaya) brew/extract as an effective ingredient for

preventing or

treating cancer. In addition to general foods, a food composition of the present

invention may

include, for example, a health food, a functional food, a specified health food,

a nutrient

supplement, an enteral nutrient, and the like, but is not limited to these foods

so long as it is

effective in preventing or ameliorating cancer. Methods for manufacturing the

food compositions

are usual techniques known to those skilled in the art. That is, a papaya

{Carica papaya)

brew/extract component according to the present invention can be combined with

an additive

acceptable in view of food sanitation, and processed to make a general food, a

health food, a

functional food, a specified health food, a nutrient supplement, an enteral

nutrient, etc. For

example, an additive such as a stabilizer, preservative, colorant, perfume,

vitamin can be

appropriately added to a papaya {Carica papaya) brew/extract component, mixed,

and processed

by standard methods into a form suitable for a food composition, such as a

tablet, pill, granule,

powder, capsule, liquid, cream, drink, etc. Furthermore, the food compositions

of the present

invention include those sold with a description or indication written on the

food composition' s

packaging container and/or in a promotional pamphlet, to the effect that the

food composition,

and/or an ingredient in the food composition, comprises the effect of

preventing, or ameliorating

cancer.

This patent-pending led me to believe that there is enough possibility in a cure

for cancer by papaya leaf tea

to look into it further. I had been frustrated with being bombarded by the " help

prevent " foods. It seemed to

me that every way we turn in this society is a carcinogen. This appeared to me

to be an actual potential

cure…not just an antioxidant or a free-radical fighter.

" …Dr. Howell, M.D. notes in his seminal work Enzyme Nutrition, that the

pancreas

(which was just mentioned) has a limited capability to produce enzymes. Add to

that the fact that

the pancreas is almost always over-worked trying to produce enough digestive

enzymes to digest

the cooked food that we eat. Cooked, refined and processed foods have no

enzymes. The body is at

greatest risk of cancer when the pancreas can no longer produce an adequate

supply of protein

digesting enzymes.

But there is good news! Through diet, we can do something about a scarcity of

protein digesting

enzymes. It is possible to make it so the pancreas does not have to work so

hard. That can be done

by significantly decreasing the consumption of animal protein (because animal

protein requires

lots of protein digesting enzymes), and by eating more raw fruits, vegetables,

and nuts, since they

are rich in enzymes. And note this: the tropical fruits papaya (and their seeds)

along with

pineapple are especially important, because their enzymes closely mimic the

protein digesting

enzymes produced by the pancreas. (That's why meat tenderizers contain papaya).

Our first line

of defense against cancer is therefore protein digesting enzymes (and other food

enzymes) all of

which can be gotten from raw whole foods…. "

How could this plant treat and help to prevent cancer? How does it work?

The papaya leaf contains an enzyme called papain. This enzyme eats the protein

coating around the cancer

cell, which then allows your own body to destroy the cancerous cell. The enzyme

also travels through your

blood and stimulates the " big eaters " to consume the extra bad trash in your

blood. Scientifically, " big

eaters " are called macrophages, and " extra bad trash " are extra immune complexes

that cause inflammation

diseases and immune problems.

" All living things depend on the swift completion of thousands of biochemical

reactions every

hour. High temperatures generally speed up chemical reactions, but all complex

life forms have

metabolic temperatures below 40°C. In order to increase the pace of

biochemistry, life forms are

completely dependent on enzymes for virtually every metabolic function. Enzymes

are protein

molecules that catalyze chemical reactions. They act as intermediaries or

facilitators to accelerate

biochemical reactions. Enzyme catalysts are supposed to remain unchanged by the

reactions they

participate in they are recycled to do their jobs over and over again. (1,2)

No biological system is perfect, least of all complex creatures such as mammals.

Organs such as

the pancreas secrete enzymes to aid in food digestion, but many of these enzymes

are damaged or

excreted during the process of digestion, absorption, and elimination, and are

not recycled.

In other cases enzyme excretion may be insufficient for the needs of an

individual, thereby

hindering utilization of nutrients. Dr. Howell hypothesized that a diet

composed of cooked

and processed foods in which the natural enzymes are denatured leads to enzyme

insufficiency

and stresses the organs which secrete enzymes (e.g. pancreas, duodenum). A

lifetime of eating

" dead foods " is a contributing factor for chronic indigestion, diabetes,

obesity, pancreatitis, and

gastrointestinal cancer.(3) It's well know that animals and humans eating what

researchers call a

" cafeteria diet " (just what you'd imagine all you can eat buffet of

institutional food favorites)

suffer inordinately from obesity, diabetes, pancreatitis, ulcers, and gall

bladder disease. "

It helps to know what an enzyme is—and you need to know about as much as you

need to know what an

antibiotic is. An enzyme is a biological catalyst—like in a car, a " starter " ,

and " igniter " . The enzyme

" starter " can effect a change without changing itself. Your body has over 3000

enzyme catalysts that we

have been able to name. The very specific papain enzyme has a specialty to break

up proteins (proteolytic).

For the majority of Americans, our pancreas usually functions in this role to

digest proteins pretty well until

we're about twenty-five years old. Then things kind of get backed up. The reason

is that we eat dead food

(which overworks our pancreas), and also because we don't eat enough raw fruits

and vegetables. By the

time we hit twenty-five we have a body full of toxins, and habits that don't

help. But papain can help, not

counting all of the other " secret " ingredients in the papaya leaf. Papaya leaf

tea can make your body begin

to work and fight again like a young person.

" The pancreas creates enzymes that digest proteins. Cancer is a foreign protein

that the

pancreatic enzymes attempt to digest. But the cancer is creating its own

chemicals that destroy

pancreatic enzymes. Battling cancer can overwork the pancreas, and if it is too

weak to begin

with, then, as Dr states, " a pancreas that cannot metabolize

protein cannot protect

10

the body from cancer. " [biser, Sam. Curing Cancer with Nutrition: The use of

diet and enzyme

therapy to cure Cancer. Charlottesville, VA: University of Natural Healing,

Inc., 1994.]

You must aid your pancreas in its battle with cancer. You can do this by

drinking green juices,

cutting back on meat proteins, occasional fasting, and by supplementing your

diet with pancreatic

enzymes. Take pancreatic enzymes when your system is most alkaline: when you

awake, and

between 2 and 3 in the afternoon. Also be sure to take them with your meals;

they are, according

to Dr , the cheapest insurance against cancer. "

Cleaning House; the correct way to detox

The enzyme in the papaya leaf, papain, is a protein-eating enzyme like your

pancreatic enzymes and

can substitute for a weak pancreas if you have cancer or insure against cancer

by digesting proteins

from your food so that they do not become toxic, undigested food in your

intestines.

Enzymes accelerate reactions within body cells. In the human body, the pancreas

usually

produces enzymes that break down foods into nutrients that the body can use for

energy and other

functions. Enzyme deficiencies are rare, but individuals who have cystic

fibrosis or diseases of the

pancreas may not produce enough natural enzymes to digest foods properly.

Papain, an enzyme

produced by the tropical fruit, papaya, is proteolytic, which means that it

digests proteins.

Frequently, papain is included in prescription combinations of digestive enzymes

to replace what

individuals with cystic fibrosis or pancreas conditions cannot produce

naturally. Because it

improves digestion in general, papain has also been used orally to treat less

serious digestion

disorders such as bloating and chronic indigestion. Since parasitic organisms

are largely

proteins, papain has sometimes been taken internally to eliminate intestinal

worms, but this use is

rare today.

In several studies of cancer patients, oral enzyme supplements containing papain

helped to relieve

treatment side effects such as mouth sores and difficulty swallowing. Chemicals

in papain may

increase immune system function and they may also promote the release of natural

chemicals that

attack tumor cells. Papain may lessen inflammation, as well. All of these

potential effects may

make papain-containing preparations useful as an addition to cancer therapy. An

oral

prescription product containing papain and other enzymes has orphan drug status

in the United

States for the treatment of multiple myeloma, a form of bone marrow cancer. An

orphan drug has

received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) because it

shows

effectiveness for treating severe or rare diseases that usually have few other

treatment options.

In other research, papain and related enzymes have been studied for oral use in

several

conditions. Some evidence shows that they may help to prevent complications of

diabetes, possibly

by lessening protein deposits in the kidneys. Proteolytic enzymes such as papain

may also

decrease pain and inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis, improve

healing of injuries,

and reduce swelling after surgery. In Europe, papain is available as an

ingredient in several nonprescription

products that are sold for relieving inflamed and swollen respiratory tract

tissue.

General stimulation of immune response and decreases in inflammation are thought

to be

responsible for some of these observed effects, but other possible causes are

not clear. Results of

some studies are inconclusive, and more study is needed before papain can be

recommended for

these conditions.

Topically, papain has been used for skin conditions such as psoriasis. Its

ability to break down

proteins is used to remove dead tissue from burns, to help skin injuries heal,

to remove warts, and

to treat ringworm. Cold sores caused by Herpes zoster virus have been treated

successfully with

both oral and topical papain-containing products. In one small study of

individuals with Herpes

zoster, an oral papain product was as effective as a prescription antiviral

medication in resolving

pain, but not redness. A year-long observational study of more than 400 women

found that those

who ate papaya at least once a week were less likely to have chronic infections

with human

papilloma virus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted disease. In laboratory

studies, topical

application of papain has also shown some antibacterial properties, which may be

due to papain's

11

interference with an enzyme that certain bacteria produce. Further study is

needed to prove or

disprove its possible antibacterial effects, however.

l

Enzyme Therapy Inhibits Matastasis (Spread) of Cancer

For about 30 years, a number of work groups have concerned themselves with the

influence of

proteolytic enzymes on metastasis. In the 1960s, scientists were of the opinion

that cancer cell

stickiness resulting from a deficiency in enzymes was responsible for the

frequent development of

secondary tumors. This stickiness of the cancer cells was generally recognized

to result from the

excessive formation of fibrin.

The close relationship between fibrin (protein) deposits and other types of

invasive tissue growth

and metastasis is adequately described in international literature and is

generally accepted. The

discovery of substances, known as adhesion molecules, provided important new

impulses for

current scientific discussions.

Inflammation also plays a role in cancer spread. Since the endothelium of tissue

with

inflammatory alterations has a thicker layer of specific adhesion molecules,

these are sites where

metastasis are more likely to occur. The importance of chronic progress of

inflammation in tumor

growth and metastasis has been demonstrated in studies which verify the

influence of antiinflammatory

therapy on inhibiting metastasis.

Formation of fibrin (protein) on the tumor cell membrane supports this adhesive

process and

serves as a protective barrier against tumor cell recognition by the

immunological system.

Proteolytic enzymes (like papain) inhibit both excess fibrin deposition and

inflammation, thus

helping to prevent the spread of tumor cells.

Indeed, one of the most impressive features of clinical trials for patients with

multiple myeloma,

breast, stomach, colon and pancreatic cancers, is prolongation of survival time.

This may reflect

reduced tendency toward cancer spread.

Living, Vol4 No6

Of the three thousand enzymes that scientists have named we need very

specifically one that specializes in

eating away the fibrous coating (protein armor) around the cancer cell. These

specialty enzymes are called

" proteolytic " – or " protein eating " enzymes. So far there are only two of the

three thousand that qualify

for this job that are natural plants and fruits—papain (found in papaya leaves)

and bromelain (found in the

core of the pineapple). I choose to promote papaya leaves in tea because this

has the most cultural and

historical tradition for successful cancer treatment.

One other common objection to the enzyme action in papaya tea is that

conventional science says that

enzymes " die " at 114f (degrees farenheit). The fascination related to papain is

that it breaks the rules related to temperature and activity, very specifically

in the presence of water…. As below, papain " denatures " at 160F, hydrolizes to

the water, and re-natures when it cools. Most optimum activity is at 150F, a

perfect tea.

Papain exhibits characteristics at one end of a spectrum of chemical behaviour

with actinidin

(EC 3.4.22.14) at the other. Caricain [papaya (Carica papaya) proteinase & #937;,

EC 3.4.22.30] and

ficin (EC 3.4.22.3) each exhibit behaviour intermediate between these extremes.

imunoglobulin was that the denaturation method did not affect the different

transitions in the same

way. The transition at 61°C appeared to be most sensitive to heat treatment and

adsorption

onto a hydrophobic surface, whereas the peak at 71°C [160F] was most sensitive

to decreasing

pH. It was suggested that the transitions at 61°C and 71°C represent the Fab and

Fc fragments,

respectively.

``To trigger proteolytic action, the…enzymes should be preheated to a

temperature conducive for

hydrolytic activity of the enzymes, generally within a range of about

140.degree. to about

150.degree. F. A temperature of about 140.degree. F. is optimal for endogenous

proteolytic

enzymes whereas a temperature of about 150.degree. F. is optimal for extraneous

enzymes such as

papain. "

A very practical angle to show that enzymes survive cooking temperatures and

still continue to work is

shown in the kitchen. Papain is used as a meat tenderizer and continues to

tenderize after cooking. Below

the action—inaction---action process played out.

Papain breaks down meat and is best known as a commercially-prepared tenderising

cooking

ingredient. It is important to thoroughly cook treated meat to inactivate the

enzyme, which is heat

resistant. If treated meat is stored after cooking (say, as a leftover or

because it was cooked a long

time before serving) the tenderising action may continue and the meat will

digest to an unpleasant

texture.

I want to talk about the whole enzyme business. Hard to believe, but in 1911, Dr

Beard proved that

enzymes cure cancer, and then wrote the book, " The Enzyme Treatment of Cancer

and its Scientific Basis " .

Other doctors scoffed at him, but later doctors got desperate when their

patients got desperate. The former

" mocker " doctors, out of being pressured by their dying patients, finally

decided to try enzymes. The

enzymes that Dr. Beard used were taken out of a pig intestine. This is what the

other doctors tried. One

huge difference, however, was that these doctors didn't do it how Beard did.

Beard removed the enzymes

from a young pig, and injected them right away into his patients. The other

doctors took old pigs (whose

enzymes were failing) and also did not inject them straight on while they were

fresh. Because of this, the

other doctor's patients did not see good results. From these errors, Our beloved

scientist, Dr. Beard, was

viewed as a quack. History folded, however, to his honor.

Another story about a Canadian doctor who injected enzymes into the backs of

patients with slipped discs.

This seemed to miraculously heal them. The doctor went to a drug company and

offered his idea. The drug

company mixed enzymes with to her chemicals to make a pill and performed a

" clinical " study which

" disproved " the theory. The Canadian doctor was then labeled a quack. Seems

strange that patients kept

coming to him and were healed. Seems so strange and ironic that the ONLY current

FDA-approved

enzyme use today is this exact method of cure from this Canadian doctor. History

folded again.

The other story that made me mad enough to write this book is the story of the

well-known Hope Clinic.

Dr. Ernesto Contreras, Sr. started this clinic for cancer victims that the rest

of the medical world had given

up on, had to endure years of being called a quack and every other possible name

based on his philosophy

of " whole " healing, the spirit, mind and body. This doctor showed with

persistence that healing cancer is

not about just killing a tumor. The doctor was also a believer in enzyme

therapy. But the part of the story

that gets me is that late in his career, after surviving years of ridicule, he

had an interesting patient come to

his clinic. The late Dr. Contreras's son told this story:

" ..Just a couple of years ago, a renowned oncologist came to visit my father. He

explained that he

had cancer and was looking for someone to treat him. My father asked him, " Why

not take the

chemotherapy that you have prescribed to your patients over the past 30 years? "

The doctor

responded, " But this is me we are talking about Ernesto! " This cancer

specialist's experience

treating thousands of cancer patients had taught him that chemotherapy alone was

not going to

cure him. He came to my father looking for an integrative approach. "

His son had the following to say about enzyme therapy:

Proteases (proteolytic enzymes), one of the three main categories of digestive

enzymes, are found

in the stomach juices, pancreatic juices, and intestinal juices. Proteolytic

enzymes help to digest

proteins. Plant extracts with a high content of proteolytic enzymes have been

used for years in

traditional medicine. Besides proteolytic enzymes from plants, such as papain

and bromelain

obtained from papayas and pineapples respectively, " modern " enzyme therapy

additionally

includes proteolytic pancreatic enzymes, such as chymotrypsin, tripsin, pepsin

and pancreatin.

Proteolytic enzymes are used primarily to aid digestion and absorption of

proteins contained in

food. In addition to aiding digestion, proteolytic enzymes have analgesic,

anti-inflammatory,

antithrombotic, fibrinolytic, immune modulating, and edema-reducing properties.

Results from

recent research studies showed that proteolytic enzymes can produce great

benefits in cancer

therapy by improving the quality of life, reducing both the signs and symptoms

of the disease and

the adverse effects caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and prolonging the

survival

time. " Proteolytic enzymes act as immuno-modulators by raising the impaired

immuno-cytotoxicity

of leukocytes against tumor cells from patients and by inducing the production

of distinct

14

cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor, interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6 and IL-8.

There are reports on

animal experiments claiming an anti-metastatic efficacy of proteolytic enzymes

associated with

inhibition of growth and invasiveness of tumor cells. All these antitumoral

activities do not depend

on the proteolytic activity of enzymes, but of their effects on the modulation

of immune functions,

including the anti-inflammatory activities and their potential to accelerate

wound healing.

Proteolytic enzymes are also used in the treatment of pancreatic insufficiency,

cystic fibrosis,

digestive problems, viral infections, surgical traumas, auto-immune disorders

and sports injuries.

Enzyme therapy can significantly clear " immune complexes " (combinations of

antibodies and

antigens) from the body. When the body is incapable of releasing these immune

complexes, an

inflammatory process begins that can lead to serious disease, often of the

autoimmune type.

Dramatic results have been reported with the use of enzyme therapy in such

diseases as

rheumatoid arthritis, multiple-sclerosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. "

Ph.D., and

E. Kennedy,Published by Interpacific Press

After I was informed, I really needed to understand why my mother's doctors

didn't recommend enzymes.

If the information, the science, the clinical studies are all there, what is

wrong with these doctors? What I

learned was that we need to give them a bit of a break….at least the ones in

America who are 45 years and

older. See, the textbooks that they studied in Med school told them that enzymes

are great for digestion, but

they cannot make it through the intestinal wall—they are too BIG. For this

reason, ORAL enzyme therapy

(enzymes taken by mouth) could not work. It was only in the last twenty-five

years that scientists PROVED

this to be incorrect. Now we have a new problem/challenge. The FDA has not yet

approved oral enzymes

for cancer therapy. Doctors in America can't recommend or prescribe what is not

FDA approved. European

doctors can, however, and they do now. The drug companies, though, won't be

interested to pay for clinical

studies unless there is money in it….and one can't PATENT a leaf. These guys

with the patent-pending are

going to have to add gel filtration and some other item before it would be

possibly patentable.

So then, armed with this information and inexplicably excited, one Saturday at

my business I cornered a

customer who happened to be a doctor. I asked him his credentials, and I really

smiled when he said that he

was on some fancy homeopathic board of directors…I don't remember the detail…but

I drug the guy into

my office, shut the door, and just asked him. " So, " I said, " Do you know of

papain? " " Yes " , He said,

" That is the protein eating enzyme " . " What is the chance that the enzyme papain

can treat cancer? "

" HORSESHIT! " , he said. Trying to remain calm, I said, " Why? " He said, " The

enzymes won't make it

past your stomach! " I smiled. Information science had paid off. I mentioned how

scientists have proven

now that enzymes can make it past your stomach and through the intestinal wall.

He didn't make it out of

my office until an hour later. At that point he was asking me to please e-mail

him all of my data.

What cultural relevance does papaya leaf tea have? The fact that many cultures

use this tea for a cancer

cure is not proof, but only lends trust. Validating natural cures and discovery

of natural cures by

researching ethnomedicine is not unusual:

" In this review we describe and discuss several approaches to selecting higher

plants as

candidates for drug development with the greatest possibility of success. We

emphasize the role of

information derived from various systems of traditional medicine (ethnomedicine)

and its utility

for drug discovery purposes. We have identified 122 compounds of defined

structure, obtained

from only 94 species of plants, that are used globally as drugs and demonstrate

that 80% of these

have had an ethnomedical use identical or related to the current use of the

active elements of the

plant.We identify and discuss advantages and disadvantages of using plants as

starting points for

drug development, specifically those used in traditional medicine. "

" Fossil records date human use of plants as medicines at least to the Middle

Paleolithic

age some 60,000 years ago (1). From that point the development of traditional

medical

systems incorporating plants as a means of therapy can be traced back only as

far as

recorded documents of their likeness. However, the value of these systems is

much

more than a significant anthropologic or archeologic fact. Their value is as a

-The Value of Plants Used in Traditional Medicine for Drug Discovery

S. Fabricant and Norman R. Farnsworth

Program for Collaborative Research in the Pharmaceutical Sciences, College of

Pharmacy,

University of Illinois-Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA

Of the long list of plants that had traditional use in ethnomedicine is

chymopapain [derived from papaya leaves], for use as a mucolytic (A mucolytic

agent is any agent which dissolves thick mucus usually used to help relieve

respiratory difficulties.) and as a proteolytic (Proteolysis is the directed

degradation (digestion) of proteins by cellular enzymes called proteases or by

intramolecular digestion. ...). It is in this function (proteolysis) that

papaya leaves attack cancer's armor by digesting the protein " fibrous " coating

on the cancer cell.

An interesting clinical study was performed to discover what percentage of

cancer patients around the

world used alternative therapies, what therapies were used, and what the effect

was overall. My first

eyebrow raised when I saw papaya tea in the list of the regular complementary

and alternative therapies

(CAM) in fourteen countries…

" The types of herbs or biological ingestibles used by participants were also

assessed, as we asked

participants to write down the names of herbs/remedies used. Herbs and other

biological

ingestibles used included green tea, essiac tincture, Chinese herbs, sage

tablets, Echinacea, cod

liver oil, fresh juice and vegetables, vitamin E, glucosamine, chamomile,

peppermint, selenium,

mistletoe/Iscador, yeast extract, multivitamins, Ayurveda herbs, vitamin C, soya

drinks, dry thyme,

dry nettle, nettle tea, nettle or nettle seeds mixed with honey, ginseng,

mulberry molasses, shark

cartilage, fish oil, gingko biloba, milk thistle, minerals (i.e. Zn, Ca, Mg),

aloe vera (orally and

externally used), papaya tea, beet and carrot juice, paste from olive leaves, a

mixture of aloe–

honey–rhaki and wine, and angelica herb. Most herbs were used to treat the

cancer, although no

participant specified for which specific condition they were using which method.

SIXTH

Blame the FDA. Isn't it their job to give us information about what is healthy?

This was my first reaction.

Now I've thought about it. No, I don't think that it is the job of the FDA. Has

the FDA approved apples?

What about all of those other things that cancer patients are told to eat….like

eleven servings of uncooked

vegetables per day. Is this FDA approved? Last time you got sick with a cold and

went to the doctor to get

an antibiotic did he tell you that you need to drink more water, eat four

servings of fruit and eleven servings

of fresh vegetables per day and you won't get so many colds? Last year I took my

son in to the doctor to

get an antibiotic for what seemed to be an upper-respiratory infection. The

doctor said that he'd prefer not

to give my son an antibiotic. So I asked him what he was going to give him. The

doc said, " nothing.

Antibiotics are being over-prescribed " . I went home feeling strange. But I can't

change very easily my

" gimme something to fix it " attitude, knowing that I caused the problem in the

first place by eating wrong.

This describes well my whole attitude about cancer. Anti-oxidant this…free

radical that….carcinogen

monsters everywhere. I gave up. Why even try when " experts " say that we can get

cancer from the shower

water through our skin? What I think of when I say " cancer cure " is exactly

that. I want a fixer, not just

another " helper-preventer " .

From the article " Nutrition and Cancer: A review of the evidence for an

anti-cancer diet " , S.

son:

Enzymes, especially proteases, if they reach systemic circulation, can have

direct anti-tumor

activity. Wald et al reported on the anti-metastatic effect of enzyme

supplements. Mice inoculated

with the lung carcinoma were treated with a proteolytic enzyme supplement,

given rectally

(to avoid digestion). The primary tumor was cut out, so that the metastatic

spread of the cancer

could be measured. After surgical removal of the primary tumor (day 0), 90% of

the control mice

died by day 18 due to metastasized tumors. In the first group, which received

the rectal enzyme

supplement from the time of the tumor-removal surgery, 30% of the mice had died

from

metastasized cancer by day 25. In the second group, which received the enzymes

from 6 days prior

to removal of the primary tumor, only 10% of the animals showed the metastatic

process by day

15. In the third group, which received the enzyme treatment since the initial

inoculation of the

lung carcinoma, no metastatic spread of the tumor was discernible. One

hundred daysurvival

rates for the control, first, second, and third groups were 0, 60%, 90%, and

100%.

-Wald M, Olejar T, Pouckova P, Zadinova M: Proteinases reduce metastatic

dissemination and increase survival time in C57Bl6 mice with the lung

carcinoma. Life Sci 1998, 63:L237-243

In a similar experiment, an enzyme mixture of papain, trypsin, and chymotrypsin,

as used in the

preparation Wobe-Mugos E, was rectally given to mice that were inoculated with

melanoma cells.

Survival time was prolonged in the test group (38 days in the enzyme group

compared to 24 days

in the control mice) and 3 of the 10 enzyme-supplemented mice were cured. Again,

a strong antimetastatic

effect of the proteolytic enzymes was seen.

-Wald M, Zavadova E, Pouckova P, Zadinova M, Boubelik M: Polyenzyme preparation

Wobe-Mugos inhibits growth of solid tumors and development of experimental

metastases in mice. Life Sci 1998, 62:L43-48

18

If we relate the studies of mice to how it would compare to humans it might look

like this: The first set was

given enzymes at stage 4 cancer after tumor removal. The second set was given

enzymes at the onset of

cancer. The third set was given enzymes prior to cancer. Mice who represent

people with stage four

survived by 30%. Mice who represent people given enzymes at onset of cancer

discovery survived at 60%.

Mice who represent people who incorporate enzymes into a life pattern survived

cancer at 100%.

Science supports the function of papain :

Physical Properties and Kinetics

Papain is a cysteine protease of the peptidase C1 family. Papain consists of a

single polypeptide

chain with three disulfide bridges and a sulfhydryl group necessary for activity

of the enzyme.

Molecular weight: 23,406 Da (amino acid sequence)16

Optimal pH for activity: 6.0-7.0

Temperature Optimum for Activity: 65 °C22

pI: 8.75 17; 9.55 18 Spectral properties:

& #955;max: 278 nm 19

Extinction coefficient, E1% = 25 19

Extinction coefficient, EmM = 57.6 (at 280 nm) 20

Unit Definition: One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 & #956;mole of

N- & #945;-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester (BAEE)

per minute at pH 6.2 at 25 °C.

Specificity

Papain will digest most protein substrates more extensively than the pancreatic

proteases. Papain

exhibits broad specificity, cleaving peptide bonds of basic amino acids,

leucine, or glycine. It also

hydrolyzes esters and amides. Papain exhibits a preference for an amino acid

bearing a large

hydrophobic side chain at the P2 position. It does not accept Val at the P1'

position. 1

According to the study above, papain is more powerful than our natural

pancreatic proteases.

Maybe papaya leaves should be put in our water instead of flouride.

" In point of fact, fluoride causes more human cancer death, and causes it faster

than any other

chemical. " --Dean Burk -- Congressional Record 21 July 1976

" I know of absolutely no, and I mean absolutely no means of prevention that

would save so

many lives as simply to stop fluoridation, or don't start it where it is

otherwise going to be

started. There you might save 30,000 or 40,000 or 50,000 lives a year, cancer

lives. That is an

awful lot of lives a year. "

A clinical study in 2001 was performed on 2,339 breast cancer patients. The

study was meant to determine

the effect of oral enzymes (OE).

A clear reduction in the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy was

documented in 74% of

the test group and 55% of the control group. Analysis of survival, recurrence,

and metastasis

demonstrated a reduced number of events in the test group. There was evidence of

a beneficial

19

influence of OE on time to event, although the median observation time was too

short in these

breast cancer patients to draw definite conclusions. The safety component was

judged in 98% of

the test group and 76% of the control group as " very good " or " good " . In the

total sample of 2,339

patients, the rate of OE-associated adverse reactions was 3.2%. All side effects

were mild to

moderate gastrointestinal symptoms. Conclusion: Complementary treatment of

breast cancer

patients with OE improves the quality of life by reducing signs and symptoms of

the disease and

the side effects of adjuvant antineoplastic therapies. This epidemiological

retrolective cohort

analysis provides evidence that the patients may also gain benefit by a

prolongation of the time to

event for cancer recurrence, metastasis and survival. OE was generally well

tolerated.

Another clinical study in Slovak Republic with welcomed results:

PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of an additive therapy with an oral enzyme (OE)

preparation

given for more than 6 months additionally to standard combination chemotherapy

(vincristine/melphalan/cyclophosphamide/prednisone (VMCP)- or

methylprednisolone/

vincristine/CCNU/cyclophosphamide/melphalan (MOCCA)-regimen) in the primary

treatment of

patients with multiple myeloma stages I-III. METHODS: A cohort of 265 patients

with multiple

myeloma stages I-III was consecutively treated at our institution in two

parallel groups (control

group (n = 99): chemotherapy +/-OE for less than 6 months; OE-group (n = 166):

chemotherapy

+ OE for more than 6 months). The median follow-up time in the stages I, II, and

III for the OEgroup

was 61, 37, and 46.5 months, respectively; for the control group the respective

values were

33, 51.5, and 31.5 months. The primary endpoint of the study was

disease-specific survival.

Secondary endpoints were response to therapy, duration of first response and

side effects. The

chosen method for evaluation was the technique of a retrolective cohort analysis

with a

concurrent control group. Survival analysis was performed by the Kaplan-Meier

method and

multivariate analysis was done with the proportional hazards model. RESULTS:

Significantly

higher overall response rates and longer duration of remissions were observed in

the OE-group.

Primary responders showed a longer mean survival time than non-responders.

Additive therapy

with OE given for more than 6 months decreased the hazard of death for patients

at all stages of

disease by approximately 60%. Observation time was not long enough to estimate

the median

survival for patients at stages I and II; for stage III patients it was 47

months in the control group

versus 83 months for the patients treated with OE (P = 0.0014) which means a

3-year gain of

survival time. Significant prognostic factors for survival, in the

regression analysis, were

stage of disease and therapy with OE. The OE-therapy was generally well

tolerated (3.6% of

patients with mild to moderate gastrointestinal symptoms). CONCLUSION: OEs

represent a

promising new additive therapy in multiple myeloma which will be further

evaluated in a

randomized phase III trial in the USA.

The last thing that my Mama asked for before she died of this brutal cancer was

a hamburger. Sad that she

had tried everything….the spinach, the oil, every antioxidant possibility. The

real problem was that the

FDA had approved a drug for her rheumatoid arthritis. Here's the ultimate irony.

This FDA approved drug

was later proven to be a carcinogen and was pulled off the market. Now I'm

reading that papain is a very

viable combatant for inflammatory diseases, very specifically, rheumatoid

arthritis. So from here I'm not

all that concerned about an FDA approval. Back to the hamburger, I don't know

who can't relate to my

Mama. It is so hard to change our eating patterns, and we only have so long to

enjoy life, so for this I am so

happy to find a cure where my Mama could have won more life. Maybe your Mom or

Dad can. Maybe you

will.

Why not forget the tea and take the pill?

Papain is available at Walmart in a pill. The papain enzyme is drawn out of the

papaya tree by slicing the

trunk and draining out this milky substance. The substance is dried and then

made into a pill. This purified

enzyme is used in many commercial applications. For instance, 80% of beer is

clarified with papain. Papain

is also popular as a meat tenderizer. Papain is used to produce chewing gum.

Oral enzymes in pill form

have proven effectiveness in clinical studies.

The stories and cultures showing cancer healing from the leaf tea remind me of

the Dr. Beard situation—

yes, it is papain that is the active enzyme in the leaf, but there is more. The

reason that I personally believe

in using tea from the natural leaf is there is more to the leaf than papain.

Some other very powerful

accompanying vitamins occur; Beta Carotene, Vitamin E, Potassium, etc. Our diet

seems to lack the

quantity of these vitamins that we need anyway. The mystery of how enzymes work

shows some clues that

certain puzzle pieces are needed for the greatest effectiveness, (such as

vitamins), and other items can slow

down or stop enzyme functionality (such as sugar and alchohol).

…and from Burk's english interpretation of Warburg's famous work, " The Prime

Cause and Prevention of

Cancer " , 1966..

" …Indeed millions of experiments in man, through the effectiveness of some

vitamins, have

shown, that cell respiration is impaired if the active groups of the respiratory

enzymes are

removed from the food; and that cell respiration is repaired at once, if these

groups are added

again to the food. No way can be imagined that is scientifically better founded

to prevent and cure

a disease, the prime cause of which is an impaired respiration. "

" …Therefore we propose first to remove all compact tumors, which are the

anaerobic foci of

the metastasis. Then the active group should be added to the food, in the

greatest possible

amount, for many years, even for ever. This is a promising task. If it succeeds,

then cancer will

be a harmless disease. "

" …Moreover, we discovered recently a) in experiments with growing cancer cells

in vitro that

very low concentrations of some selected active groups inhibit fermentation and

the growth of

cancer cells completely, in the course of a few days. From these experiments it

may be concluded

that de-differentiated cells die if one tries to normalize their metabolism. It

is a result that is

21

unexpected and that encourages the task of inhibiting the growth of metastases

with active

enzyme groups. "

" …It has been asked after the u lecture why the repair of respiration by

the active groups of

the enzymes was proposed as late as 1966, although the fermentation of the

cancer cell was

discovered as early as 1923. Why was so much time lost? "

" …He who asked this questions ignored that in 1923 the chemical mechanism of

enzyme action

was still a secret of living nature alone. 1 The first active group of an

enzyme, " Iron, the Oxygen-

Transferring Part of the Respiratory Enzyme " was discovered in 1942. There

followed in two

decades the discoveries of the O2-transferring metalloproteins, the

flavoproteins and the

pyridinproteins, a period that was concluded by the " Heavy Metals as Prosthetic

Groups of

Enzymes " 3 and by the " Hydrogen Transferring Enzymes " 4 in 1947 to 1949. "

Cancer, above all other diseases, has countless secondary causes. But, even for

cancer, there is

only one prime cause. Summarized in a few words, the prime cause of cancer is

the replacement

of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar.

All normal body

cells meet their energy needs by respiration of oxygen, whereas cancer cells

meet their energy

needs in great part by fermentation.

Why does cancer result if oxygen-respiration is replaced by fermentation?

The early history of life on our planet indicates that life existed on earth

before the earth's

atmosphere contained free oxygen gas. The living cells must therefore have been

fermenting cells

then, and, as fossils show, they were undifferentiated single cells. Only when

free oxygen

appeared in the atmosphere - some billion years ago - did the higher development

of life set in, to

produce the plant and animal kingdoms from the fermenting, undifferentiated

single cells. What

the philosophers of life have called " Evolution créatrice " has been and is

therefore the work of

oxygen.

The reverse process, the dedifferentiation of life, takes place today in

greatest amount before our

eyes in cancer development

I would like to go further and propose always making dietary additions of large

amounts of the

active groups of the respiratory enzymes after successful operations when there

is danger from

metastatic growths. One could indeed never succeed in redifferentiating the

dedifferentiated

cancer cells, since during the short duration of human life the probability of

such a backdifferentiation

is zero. But one might increase the respiration of growing metastases, and

thereby

inhibit their fermentation, and - on the basis of the curve of DEAN BURK and

MARK WOODS

obtained with the hepatomas - thereby inhibit the growth of metastases to

such an extent

that they might become as harmless as the so-called " sleeping " cancer cells in

the prostates of

elderly men.

...the active groups of respiratory enzymes, for example: iron salts, riboflavin,

nicotinamide, and

pantothenic acid.

" …But nobody today can say that one does not know what cancer and its prime

cause be. On the

contrary, there is no disease whose prime cause is better known, so that today

ignorance is no

longer an excuse that one cannot do more about prevention. That prevention of

cancer will come

there is no doubt, for man wishes to survive. But how long prevention will be

avoided depends on

how long the prophets of agnosticism will succeed in inhibiting the application

of scientific

knowledge in the cancer field. In the meantime, millions of men and women must

die of cancer

unnecessarily. "

-Dr Otto Warburg, interpreted into English by Dr. Dean Burk, " The Prime Cause

and

Prevention of Cancer " , 1966

- " Papaya Leaf " , by Chillemi

Papaya leaf tea can cut the armor of the cancer cell and allow your body to kill

the cancer. But I believe

that Dr. Burk and Warbug have identified the truth obvious, that we know what

causes cancer. Cancer, the

doctors say, is the natural state of cells. It is the work of oxygen to cells

that creates life. The work to get

oxygen to cells before they begin to ferment (eating properly) and destroy cells

that are fermenting. We can

start the battle to destroy cancerous and pre-cancerous cells with papaya leaf

tea, and oxygenate cells by

eating eleven servings of fresh vegetables and four servings of fruit per day,

with a little bit of fresh air and

exercise.

Virtually all chronic degenerative diseases are caused or aggravated by

digestive problems. After

the most extensive study on nutrition ever undertaken by the government, the

U.S. Senate Select

Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs concluded in its 1978 report entitled

" Diet and Killer

Diseases, " that the average American diet is responsible for the development of

chronic

degenerative diseases such as heart disease, atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes,

stroke, etc. Many of

the most common health complaints revolve around a 20-foot, mucus-lined tube

that directly

interfaces us with our environment. This is no mystery: This is the

gastro-intestinal tract,

affectionately abbreviated " GI. " The job of the GI is to alchemically transmute

the food we eat

into our flesh, blood, actions, thoughts and feelings... with a little help from

our friends the

salivary glands, the pancreas, the liver, and most importantly RAW FOOD -- all

of which provide

(now we're getting to the point) ENZYMES.

- Enzymes: The Difference Between Raw and Cooked Foods by Kane, N.D.

Malnutrition is the basis of all disease: " Man's body is a living organism, made

of living cells,

which require living food in order to be properly nourished and function well.

When we put

cooked food into our body, loaded with contaminants, the body starts to break

down. It begins in

the very young with colic, rashes, colds, earaches, upset stomachs, swollen

glands and tonsils. As

the child grows older, their may be tooth decay, pimples, the need for eye

glasses, etc. Then as we

enter adult life there is arthritis, hypoglycemia, heart attacks, strokes,

diabetes and cancers. All

this and a multitude of other diseases are unnecessary and are nothing but the

result of improper

diet and lifestyle! Today, most people accept cooked food as the normal means of

supplying the

body with nutrients, not realizing that the living cells of our bodies do not

take nourishment from

the dead and artificial ingredients found in cooked food. And so, after a

typical meal of cooked

meat, cooked potatoes, a cooked vegetable and a piece of cooked bread, followed

by a cooked

sugar desert, their stomach is full and they think they have satisfied the

nutritional needs of their

body. In reality, they have given their body practically no nourishment. And

thus with a full

stomach, they are slowly starving their body's cells. "

- Raw Food by Rev. H. Malkmus

23

There are two kinds of starvation: One starvation comes about because of no food

at all. The

second and most insidious starvation is progressive malnutrition over a period

of time. The people

in the third world don't have enough volume of food. In the first world there is

plenty of " food " but

it's empty food. The food we eat produces plenty of calories and energy but is

almost completely

devoid of nutrition which is vital to our survival. A good diet promotes good

health and prevents

the onset of disease.

Most human illnesses and diseases are due to a deficiency of vital nutrients.

When you supply your

body with the proper nutrients, in a form that your body can use, it knows how

to repair itself.

" The body has the inherent ability -the vitality -not only to heal itself and

restore health, but also

to ward off disease. Illness is not caused simply by an invasion of external

agents or germs, but is

a manifestation of the organism's attempt to defend and heal itself. Prevention

Is the Best Cure.

Health is a reflection of how we choose to live. " TC Fry

WHAT ELSE THE LEAF CAN DO

Truly the most difficult task in doing research on the use of papaya leaves

around the world is that the

leaves (and other parts of the fruit) have so much varied medicinal use that it

is easy to get distracted. If, in

fact, there might be one reason that the leaf is not well-known for its

cancer-fighting properties is because

of the many incredible medicinal properties this leaf has.

The papain enzyme is effective against inflammatory diseases such as arthritis.

The best teacher that I

found on the subject explained it this way:

" Proteolytic enzymes, also referred to as " proteases, " are enzymes that break

down proteins into

their smallest elements. If this breakdown of proteins happens in your gut, we

call the enzymes

" digestive, " because they help us digest our food. Systemic proteolytic enzymes,

however, have a

completely different purpose, so please don't confuse the two.

When taken on an empty stomach, proteolytic enzymes will pass through the

stomach or intestine

lining and enter the circulatory system. This is why they are called

" systemic " —once they enter

the circulatory system, they circulate throughout the body.

Why are systemic proteolytic enzymes important?

The most important thing that systemic proteolytic enzymes do is to break down

excess fibrin in

your circulatory system and in other connective tissue, such as your muscles.

These enzymes bring

nutrients and oxygen-rich blood that remove the metabolic waste produced by

inflammation and

excess fibrin.

For example, If you have an injury or are recovering from a painful condition of

any kind and

your blood flow is restricted, you will have a longer recovery process. In

addition, the exchange of

nutrients and oxygen in your body will be limited, and there will be and will

have a longer recovery

but an increase in pain and inflammation.

I searched long and hard to find this incredible image (left) of red blood cells

caught in a web of

excess fibrin. The fibrin is causing a physical restriction of blood flow. If

you look closely, you can

see that the cells are actually stuck. Ultimately, those red blood cells cannot

get into the

capillaries to oxygenate and nourish your muscles and remove the metabolic waste

that is causing

your pain.

One more important thing to understand: Whenever you're recovering from a muscle

irritation,

injury, or surgery, the body uses fibrin to help heal itself. This is normal and

healthy. The only

problem is that with poor blood flow and a lack of enzyme activity, that fibrin

will start to

accumulate. If the area in question is slow to heal, an excess of fibrin will

appear as clumps of

scar tissue in the muscle or at the surgical site. Once this happens, you acute

condition becomes

chronic.

Now that you know that excess fibrin throughout your circulatory system will

severely limit the

amount of blood flow to areas that need it the most, you may be wondering how

the body tries to

compensate for this restriction. The answer is simple: by forcing the heart to

work harder and

increasing your blood pressure.

How do you know if you have too much fibrin?

As I have noted, the body will do what it needs to do to keep us alive—sometimes

at great cost to

your overall health. Some possible indicators of excess fibrin in your system

include: chronic

fatigue, slow healing, inflammation and pain, and elevated blood pressure. There

is also a

medical test to measure something called " blood monomers. "

The dangers of too much fibrin…

The medical community has long known that excess fibrin presents a cardiac and

stroke risk.

Finally, they have acknowledged a link between excess fibrin and chronic

systemic inflammation,

the true root cause of virtually every disease and painful condition known to

man.

25

Which conditions do proteolytic enzymes help and how?

The list below is only a sample of the types of conditions that can be addressed

with systemic

proteolytic enzymes. If you are still wondering how one little substance can

support all of these

conditions, remember that they all have one thing in common—excess fibrin, which

causes a

reduction in blood flow:

Arthritis , Herniated Disc, Atherosclerosis , Hyper-coagulation, Back Pain,

Sciatica,

ChronicFatigue, Spinal Stenosis, Chronic Pain, Strains and Sprains, Fibrocystic

Breast,

Post-operative Scar Tissue, Fibromyalgia , Traumatic Inflammation, High Blood

Pressure, and Uterine Fibroids

Which would you rather take—a pain killer or a healing enzyme?

Truth is, very few pain killers help heal the body, and in most cases the side

effects are rather

unpleasant. On the other hand, systemic proteolytic enzymes support the body's

ability to heal

itself, and they reduce the signs and symptoms of a chronic condition.

Can proteolytic enzymes be used with other pain meds?

I knew you were going to ask. Yes, enzymes can be used if you are taking

low-dose non-steroidal

anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as long as they are taken 60 minutes apart.

How about clinical research?

Where is the proof? There are untold numbers of clinical studies that have been

done on

proteolytic enzymes, and we have 76 of the most relevant studies listed on our

site. Let's not forget

that these enzymes have been in use in Europe for more than 50 years. And in

Japan, some

proteolytic enzymes are classified as prescription drugs.

Where do proteolytic enzymes come from?

Some are animal-bases, some are plant-based—such as Bromelain and Papain—and

some are

fungus-based, such as Serrazimes®.

Which types are best and why?

I recommend plant- and fungus-based enzymes because they tolerate the gastric

environment

better, so more of the enzymes make their way into the circulatory system.

How long does it take to start to work?

Enzymes go to work immediately. The big difference between enzymes and vitamins

is the way

they are measured. Enzymes are not measured by weight; they are measured in

Units of Fibrolytic

Activity, which means how much fibrin they break down in a set amount of time.

The questions you really want answered are: " How long will it take to get pain

relief and reduce

my inflammation? " and " How fast will my healing happen? " Truth is, there is no

simple answer

because the healing process and outcome will be different for everyone.

There are a number of factors that bear on how fast the enzymes will work for

you, including

dosage, quality of sleep, diet, and physical activity. Even the very treatments

you are undergoing

to try to get better could be holding you back.

Are proteolytic enzymes safe for continued use?

Yes, proteolytic enzymes should be considered safe for continued use. There are

three suggested

usage protocols: one is a rotation of 12 weeks on and 4 weeks off; two is to

take them

continuously; and three is to take them on as-needed basis.

Who should not take proteolytic enzymes?

& #61589; & #61472;Individuals taking prescription blood thinners (Coumadin,

Heparin, Plavix)

& #61589; & #61472;Anyone who will be having surgery in less than two weeks

& #61589; & #61472;Individuals with known ulcers of the stomach

& #61589; & #61472;Individuals with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. (GERD)

& #61589; & #61472;Pregnant or lactating women

26

& #61589; & #61472;Individuals currently taking antibiotics

& #61589; & #61472;Individuals with an allergic reaction to pineapples or papayas

Are there any side effects?

Proteolytic enzymes have an excellent safety record, with no significant side

effects reported. With

any supplement, however, there is always the risk of developing an allergy to

one or more

ingredients. If this happens, you should discontinue use.

Choosing to try systemic proteolytic enzymes.

Remember, the enzymes are supporting the healing process, so recovery from any

condition is

going to take time. You don't just take the enzymes and expect to get better

immediately. By using

these enzymes as part of a well-planned recovery process, you're making a

commitment to doing

what it takes to make improvements in your life. "

PRIORITY

One of the largest killers of children in the world is malaria. When I read

about how papaya leaf treats and

helps prevent malaria I felt so truly drained of what blood I have in my body.

The irony is that these places

where malaria is a problem are also climates where papaya often grow. How could

we miss this? Why can't

we do something with this information? It isn't as if we have to send the

medicine from other

countries…it's right there! What is our problem?

Abstract:

The comparative efficacy of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (Maloxine) and leaf

extracts of Mangifera

indica (mango) and Carica papaya (paw-paw) was investigated in Plasmodium

berghei-infected

mice. Maloxine had the highest efficacy, reducing the parasite count from an

average count of

9.4?0.04 to 1.4?0.05 after six days of treatment. The paw-paw leaf extract

reduced the malaria

parasite count from an average of 9.2?0.06 to 2.6?0.06; while the mango leaf

extract showed an

average reduction from 9.8?0.01 to 3.2?0.03 after six days of treatment.

However, a combination

of the two leaf extracts (1:1) exhibited a higher antimalaria efficacy than the

separate leaf

extracts, reducing the parasite count from 9.4?0.031 to 2.0?0.15. The public

health implications of

these findings are discussed.

Papaya leaf tea

The organisation ECHO reports that many people around the world take a tea of

papaya

leaves to reduce or completely avoid having malaria…since papaya is found nearly

everywhere, it

is good to use it. The tea must be taken regularly - twice a week - to have an

effect.

You use one fresh leaf which you boil in 2 litres of water. Let it boil a short

time and let it

rest for some minutes. Drink 1/4 of a cup each time. It is bitter, but it is not

poisonous and

is used traditionally many places against a variety of problems. You should not

eat the raw

leaves, however.

You can also make a powder from dried papaya leaves. To make one cup of tea use

a quarter

teaspoon of powder.

CONCLUSION

I want to tell you how to get papaya leaves on your own cheaply.

Go to the grocery store and buy a papaya. Take the seeds out and rub off the

gelatinous coating. Plant the

seeds in sandy soil in a container that drains. Put it in a window if you live

where the temperature is colder

than 75 degrees F. Put it outside if you live in a warm climate. Seeds should

come out of the ground in less

than three weeks. Once the plant is eight inches tall you can start to gently

take off leaves. Always leave at

least two larger leaves on the plant. Tie the stems together and hang upside

down until the leaves air dry.

Separate the stems from the leaves. Store the leaves in an air-tight container.

The easiest way to prepare the

tea is in your coffee maker. Put a filter in first and then crunch up three

palm-to-hand sized leaves. Even

better if you have a coffee grinder to grind them up. You'll end up with just a

teaspoon, but this is all you

need to make a whole pot. Brew it up and enjoy. If you want to drink every day

then you'll need three

plants.

If you don't like planting or need some tea now you might find it at your health

food store. I went to my

local health food store and they sold papaya leaves for tea but I didn't

understand why they were brown. I

don't know if the benefits are still retained in brown leaves. If it were me I

would request the dried green

ones. If all else fails try a google search on the internet, or you can always

contact me. My goal is that the

leaves become a standard on the grocery store shelf.

Last weekend I was out in my car with my son and I saw this car in the other

lane with a bumper sticker

with a pink ribbon on it that said, " Pray for a Cure " . If it weren't for

worrying about embarrassing my son,

I would have signaled to this woman in this car to pull over so that I could

talk to her about papaya leaves.

This is why I need you to help spread this information.

A mentor of mine told me that when he studied at Oxford University in England he

was taught that

intelligence was not necessarily the search for the right answer, but instead,

the passion to find the right

question. After my research, my conclusion is that I ask the wrong question when

I ask for a " cure " for

cancer. This is as awkward as asking for a cure for aging, or a cure for

gravity. As one of the great cancer

scientists concluded, cancer is the " natural " state in this world, or the state

of equilibrium. It takes work to

oxygenate our cells. This is life. We do this by eating the right foods,

breathing the right air, and exercising.

We do this by opening our spirits and laughing. We do this by loving. By my

faith, eternal life is God's

love and this is our choice to receive and give life to others.

What is the right question? Maybe it is, " How do I live? " instead of , " How do I

try not to die " . Eat what

your body needs to live (eleven servings of fresh vegetables per day and four

servings of fruit), don't eat

what kills you (dead meat, sugar, and processed foods), and supplement with

enzymes like papaya tea to

fight other carcinogens in this world. If we could do this our whole lives I

believe we could end up like the

100% mice survivors. Since I've never met a human who has been able to do this

perfectly, then maybe we

can live longer and live well by trying to eat better and supplementing with

enzymes like papaya tea.

I would love for you to use papaya leaf tea to fight for more life. Tell your

children, tell your friends, and

talk to your doctor.

To all interested in papaya : but aware that with fermented papaya extract you

'll get the most in terms of amino acids... It is the improvements made by

extraction process. We have worked on this a long time to get our curapapaya and

this one is more efficient than the Osato product immun'age :
