Hi, Having survived stage four stomach cancer ( had already spread to my liver) I would highly recommend adding Pau d’arco tea to her treatment. I was diagnosed in 2001 and given 6 months by the docs, I am alive and cancer free today, I believe pau d’arco was my main healer. Also if she can handle the taste any fresh veg juice with fresh garlic in it can be a big help for gastrointestinal tract tumors, garlic has been shown to kill cancer cells on contact. If any liver involvement add milk thistle. I purchase my tea from www.herb-care.com in Canada, always consistantly high grade. Heal ...

I turned to alternatives and settled on pau d’arco tea as I responded to it almost immediately, you can read my many postings over the years on this forum.

Hi, Have you tried Pau d’arco tea, I am a big believer in the tea for anything related to regularity and cleansing. ( also Cancer, see other postings I have made over the years), I still drink a minimum of two cups per day and up it if i ever feel any stomach upset, gas or irregularity and it straightens me out right away. You should purchase the raw bark and brew it yourself as a decoction ( so much more benefit than just getting the teabags and infusing).

If you have been working with Pau d’arco for 28 years I fail to understand why you have all your facts wrong !! Tabebuia Avellanedae which has purple to red flowers NOT pink has proven to be the most potent in many studies and the species used by herbalists wanting the best (not the least expensive)... The type of pau d’arco tree that produces pink flowers is NOT avellanedae but Tabebuia heptaphylla . T. impetiginosa and T. Avellanedae are essentially one and the same...

Hi tennismom, I just happened to be reading through the posts here and saw your reference to me and the pau d’arco, I am so glad you tried it and it is helping, I also eat and drink fresh juice, veg and fruit, I believe that even though there is a form of sugar in them that it is a natural form and the nutrients and mineral benefits far out weigh any negatives,also natural forms of sugar found in fruit and honey etc have all the things that God intended in the same package ie back to that synergistic thing again as with herbal teas etc, you cannot strip everything away and leave one thing ...

Hi, Does anyone know a natural way to lower blood pressure, ie with herbs etc, I read an earlier posting about a Panax Ginseng powder but when I found the price it seemed very high $250 canadian, with no option to purchase a smaller amount to see if it in fact works. The person in question is taking Accupril right now and would much rather take a natural product, even on the Accupril the readings are still stage 1 to stage 2 hypertension. Thanks Yoda.   [End]

Hi Sooze, I guess I should clarify my earlier rantings, I am sure Natures Sunshine sells some very high quality and effective supplements, I am not knocking all things in capsule forms, I take several myself,it is the method of application I have a problem with when treating a disease such as Cancerwith the two teas in question. Pau d’arco and Essiac are traditionaly decoctions, I have taken the liberty of pasting an article below that will clarify it far better than my humble attempts, it is fairly long but very interesting. I am glad you are feeling a little better it sounds as though ...

Hello Cjj, I guess if you can come up with a way of using a funnel or hose to bypass your taste buds it might work...I have never heard of anyone doing this though...as long as you don’t choke on it I don’t think it would hurt you in anyway, just make sure you don’t poke it in to far !! Most people can drink it no problem (it is fairly strong but you get used to it), are you drinking it at room temperature, this improves the taste, it can be mixed directly with fruit juice or stevia, honey etc.... Have you tried pretending its tequilla and just ”shooting” it back a couple of ounces at ...

Hello again, I am so glad you went for the proper Herbals and stayed away from the capsules....I actually went to the Natures sunshine site you mentioned out of curiosity and got madder and madder as I read about the stupid capsules... they actually mention in one spot that you can break open the essiac capsule and add hot water to make the tea!! (please excuse the spelling it also goes downhill when I get irate ...) In my case I went for a CT scan about 3 weeks after starting the pau d’arco and my tumors were visably smaller allready, I was scanned every month or so and they just kept g ...

Hello Sooze I am not sure what nature sunshine sells but if it is capsules don’t waste your money, Pau d’arco must be taken as a ”tea” to be effective, you have to buy a good grade of inner bark in the correct cut form and boil it for 20 mins for it to be effective. The traditional method of drinking essiac is in the same ”tea” form with slightly different brewing instructions, I take both in tea form, I beleive the more a herb/botanical etc is refined the more you lose the synergistic effects (many of which are too complicated for us to fathom). When I still showed tumors I was taking ...

Hello Margaret, Sorry for the delay in answering I haven’t checked in on this site for a while... I drank about 6 or 7 cups of pau d’arco per day, the recommended minimum for someone using it to fight Cancer is 4 cups per day,( I now take the maintenance dose of 2 cups per day), I know of someone who drank a gallon a day who is also Cancer Free today.. 10 years after being told he had 3 months to live! I also took Essiac (and still do), and Milk Thistle which I believe is a must for anyone with a Liver problem. I took extra Vit C, E and lecithin supplements, as well as Bromelane and a ...

Hi, Pau d’arco also known as Taheebo is the inner lining of a tree found in South America and some parts of Europe, it has been used as a Cancer cure for Generations and its use has been traced back to the ancient Incas, Egyptions and Vikings...It is a main course of treatment in South American Hospitals for Cancer. There is lots of information to read and if you so desire high quality tea available at www.herb-care.com. Thanks Yoda. www.herb-care.com   [End]

Hello All I am re-posting my story which is now in the archives as I have seen several postings asking for help re stomach cancer etc. This message was first posted many months ago and I would like to add that my last CT scan still shows absolutley NO CANCER, in fact the oncologist told me to not bother with another scan for 6 months ( I guess he’s getting bored looking for things that aren’t there...lol) I am posting a web address that has lots of information and a supply of the herbals I took, my wife started this site in March after being asked by so many people about my recovery an ...

Hi CJJ, Sorry I took so long to respond , only just got a chance to check back in. We have actually traded messages before, and yes my story is posted but it is now in the archives. My Tumor was adenocarcinoma of the stomach (stage 4) already spread to the liver, it was not G.I.S.T. I had chemotherapy a few months after diagnosis to try and buy some time, after the Chemo I still had 4 tumors remaining in my liver, they stayed the same size for 6 months (which in itself impressed the oncologist , he had given me a year at the most even with Chemotherapy)I give the essiac the credit for ...

Hi , just a suggestion, try reading about Pau d’arco and essiac at www.herb-care.com, my testimonial is there, you can read how it worked for me, I was given 6 months to live 12 with treatment (chemo), I had stage 4 stomach cancer already spread to my liver, I just got back my July results from my last scan, no sign of Cancer anywhere, in fact the Oncologist said he is extending my scans from every 3 months to every six months I guess he is getting bored looking for tumors that aren’t there anymore...... I was diagnosed two years and Two months ago! A great book is Beating Cancer with ...

Hi, I am a great believer in Essiac (and Pau d’arco) , you can read my testimonial on how I cured my Cancer with these things on this forum, just click on ”read all articles by canadian yoda” . Essiac begins to work right away though you may not notice the benefits at first, it begins by gently cleansing you of toxins, then goes on to start getting rid of the Cancer. In regards to the sugar thing, try to stay away from all refined sugar, I know it is hard , its scary how many things it is in , my wife used to spend hours in the supermarkets reading the labels, try to stick with as much u ...

Hi Mary, I have posted here before about my Cancer which was stage 4 stomach Cancer that had spread to my liver, ( it was the liver that was going to do me in as it was spreading so fast there), I am now cancer free and will be getting the results of my last scan half way through July, I know they will also be clear. I have copied my old posting here for you to see how I attacked my cancer.

Hello Rodney, I am sorry I did not see your posting until today, I hope your Mother is still doing Okay and fighting hard. I would correspond with you via e-mail but you did not leave an address. I am glad you are going to use the pau d’arco, it is unfortunate that she is still undergoing Chemo and radiation as these are very hard on the body and make it harder for the Alternatives to work, I would definatly let her take the Pau d’arco while taking the chemo try for at least 4 cups per day, I would also give her essiac as that is very good for digestive tract Cancers. Fresh made veg ju ...

Hi All, I was just wondering if anyone has heard of a natural product that could help eyes become moist again, my eyes were totally messed up by the chemo I had 20 months ago, the eye specialist said it was the cisplatin and the oncologist insists it was the 5FU, either way it sucks. Apparently the chemo poisons destroy mucus membranes like eyes , nasal , lung etc . (sure wish I’d heard of Pau d’Arco before undergoing Chemo !!) They are constantly dry and burn, if I try to focus too long on anything they blurr quickly, I am spending a fortune on drops and gels but none of them are really ...

Hi Libby, I found out about Pau d’Arco from a Chat site much like this one, when first diagnosed I posted a message out of desperation asking for any helpful info Re stomach cancer and alternatives. A lady contacted me and told me that she had been battling stage 4 colon cancer, the doctors gave up on her when she did not respond to chemo anymore and had sent her home and told her to get her affairs in order, she had started to experience great pain and remembered the Pau d’Arco a friend had told her about was supposed to be good for it so she bought some and started taking it. She said ...

Hi Libby, Go to the link below, the only other site I know of that sells Pau d’Arco of the same high quality is WWW.healthweigh.com, they sell theirs for $50 U.S. per pound plus $6 U.S. shipping, the HerbCare site sells it for $28 U.S plus $6.80 U.S. shipping to anywhere in the States ( it is a Canadian based site ). The Pau d’Arco is the highest quality available in N. America , triple tested, do not buy from just anywhere quality is very important, and forget the capsules they are Useless, the liquid extract is NOT effective when used as a tea,it is chemically processed rather than hea ...

Hi Libby, Pau d’arco or Taheebo tea as it is sometimes called is the inner lining of a tree found South America. It has been used as far back as the ancient Incas and Aztecs and there has even been evidence found supporting its use by Vikings. It is used for many other ailments besides Cancer with great success. Lapacho (Pau d’arco, it has several different names depending on the tribe and region it comes from) is applied externally and internally for the treatment of fevers, infections, colds, flu, syphilis, cancer, respiratory problems, skin ulcerations and boils, dysentery, gastro- ...

Hi John/CCJ and others, Can’t seem to find the time to stay on top of these posts, but they sure are interesting. I have never used the concentrated drops or the capsules (the capsules I have been informed are absolutley useless so don’t waste your money,) the concentrate has proved to be somewhat useful but does not have the same degree of response as the herbal tea. I agree it would be far easier to just take the drops but I did a lot of research and asked a lot of different herbalists on line etc what they thought and the general concensus seems to be that like many herbs Pau d’Arco ...

Hello CCJ,and others... I wish to Thank You for your words above, I was very disillusioned this morning after reading C’s response, you have lifted my spirits again. First I wanted to mention a new treatment I have read about for GIST just in case you haven’t heard of it. It is called Gleevec and has shown a lot of promise for your condition, it is I believe a form of Chemo that was originally targeting something else but Doctors realized it’s benefit for GIST patients. There is quite a lot of info about it on the web , but here is a site you could try , http://www.advancesinoncology.com ...

I am sorry you are so disillusioned with natural alternatives , I did not post this message just to sell a product... I do not own a herb business or sell any products myself. I posted because it is the truth. It is sad that some people cannot believe that other people may just want to get the word out about something that is haveing incredible results in many forms of Cancer. I would be interested to know what you base this accusation on, Have you tried Pau d’Arco, have you sat for four months in a Chemo ward, have you been told you have 6 months to live and death is inevitable, have yo ...

Hi , I posted here once before telling my story of success, I was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer just about 2 years ago (the doc gave me 6 months.. 2 years as a maximum if I had chemo). My last scan shows no cancer anywhere , it was in my liver and stomach, I had chemo reluctantly that ended in Dec of 2001, there was still cancer remaining and I was told it was just a matter of time until it grew again. I kept it stable for 6 months taking varios supplements and Essiac, then I discovered Pau d’Arco, after drinking this tea for 3 months I was cancer free and remain so to this day t ...
