1 tsp Pau d'arco powder, digestible?

[Guest guest]

Selma, Finette,

        What about the chemistry of putting 1 tsp of ground Pau d'arco powder

into my Health Soup?  Will there be enough chemical reactions in the gut to make

the active ingredients, lapachol or whatever,  absorbable, instead of leaching

them into alcohol?   It's simpler, more direct and quicker than going through

the indirect alcohol route.

        I do have intestinal candida, and i read that candida produces

acetylaldehyde which the liver converts to alcohol.  Is there any chance that

the lapachol, etc,. could be soluble in acetylaldehyde?

   I couldn't taste it, along with everything else.  Is it hard on the liver or

anything to eat so much powder?  If i eat 1 tsp 3 x/day? 

Thank you, merci,

purple.

My opinion, Purple, is that any alcohol in contact with Lapacho (pau

d'arco) will release the alcohol-soluble chemicals.

But if this contact lasts only for a few minutes or hours (the time

digestion takes place), it won't be as effective as letting it sit in

an alcoholic solution (and shaking the bottle daily) for a month. Get

what I mean?

Maybe you'll get about 1-5% of the efficiency of a normal tincture?

(just a guess).

It is a bark, and it's hard, even if in powder, it needs time for

leaking its chemicals (therefore tinctures take time to be prepared).

I let my bathing in alcohol for 6 weeks. But take early draws when

needed.
