Guest guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 Why Hasn't This Cancer Cure Story Been Told? - David Icke Medical Archiveshttp://www.davidicke.net/medicalarchives/cures/renetea.html CANCER CURE??? Why Hasn't This Cancer Cure Story Been Told? For more than 50 years people from all over the world went to Ontario, Canada for cancer treatment with a simple herbal formula that gave miraculous results. Why has this important news failed to reach millions of vitally interested people? The story of ESSIAC should be part and parcel of the natural healing lore of North America. Instead it is virtually unknown today despite the fact that it performed so well against thousands of cases of terminal cancer that it came within only three votes of being legalized by the Canadian parliament. Still, chances are you have never heard of it. Now, thanks to APW, you will not only know the whole story, you will know the secret ingredients of this herbal formula and how to get the herbs and make the tonic yourself. What price truth? The medical monopoly and government proclaim to have spent billions in search of a cure for cancer. Except for the jobs created, the " War on Cancer " has been an utter flop. That great " war " began in 1970 with President Nixon's appointment of Benno C. Schmidt as " Cancer Czar " and about twenty years later some truly valuable information squeezed out when the cancer establishment finally admitted that the standard methods used (chemotherapy, radiation, surgery) have lost the war - they don't work. That may be valuable information - but it's not good news. How valuable is information that testifies to genuine victories against cancer? There have been several widely proclaimed, but suppressed therapies that indeed saved lives and restored health - Dr. Koch, Dr. Ivy, Dr. Gerson, Hoxey et al. However, one of the greatest of these alternative cancer stories - the story of ESSIAC has not been openly told. Such information should not be withheld from the people, but until now, it has been! You have a right to know that a simple herbal remedy was credited for curing thousands, and for relieving the pain of more thousands of dying cancer patients. " There is a tragic and shameful irony in the ESSIAC tale, " notes a Canadian magazine, " In the beginning, a simple herbal recipe was freely shared by an Indian who understood that the blessings of the Creator belong to all. " You have probably heard such shameful stories before. How greedy individuals with power over the cancer establishment suppressed possible cures because they, the owners of that establishment, could not have absolute control. It happened in the case of Dr. William F. Koch, for example. The ESSIAC story is one that has not been widely circulated. Even the various " alternative " circles in the United States know little if anything about this fantastic herbal remedy and the role it played for decades in Canada. APW heard the story and read Dr. Gary Glum's book " Calling of An Angel. " Then our investigative skills went to work. The well written and documented book actually raised more questions than it answered, and it did not reveal the formula. We learned that there are present day charges and counter-charges marring the whole truth, and people with vested interests are squabbling over rights to the formula which had been used so well by the late Rene Caisse. This fabled nurse used the formula unselfishly for decades. ESSIAC, in fact, is her name spelled backwards. So many terminally ill patients became well again that public pressure forced the Canadian Parliament to react in 1939. The medical monopoly pulled out all stops, yet ESSIAC came within only three votes of becoming a legal therapy for cancer. The medical establishment won the war of politics and propaganda - but helped lose the war on cancer. APW'S Tom Valentine probed the story behind the story, and found out the whole truth with the help of sincere people, doctors and laymen alike, who have no special axes to grind. Dr. Charles Brusch of the famed Brusch Clinic in Cambridge, Massachusetts (physician to John F. Kennedy) - not only tested ESSIAC on human patients, but proved its value against his own cancer. He continues proclaiming it's great value today. ESSIAC appears to be able to dissolve diabetes as well as cancer! Excerpts from the book " Calling of An Angel " follows : " I decided that if I should ever develop cancer, " Rene wrote in her brief autobiography, I WAS CANADA'S CANCER NURSE, that I would use this herbal tea. Then about a year later she was strolling with a wise and aged doctor when he stopped, took his cane and stroked a weed. " Nurse Caisse, " he told Rene, " if people would use this weed there would be little or no cancer in the world. " The doctor told her the name of the plant, Burdock and Rene realized that it was one of the herbs the elderly woman had named as an ingredient in the medicine man's tea. Rene Caisse was a practical and sensible woman, who was very busy with her nursing career, so she didn't get excited right away about the fantastic story of the herbal remedy, and even after the doctor's statement seemed to confirm that she might have something worthwhile, she didn't experiment or bother herself about the formula. Then her mother's sister was diagnosed with cancer of the stomach and liver. The woman was given, at most, six months to live by her physician, R. O. Fisher, MD. Rene knew the doctor well, so she told him the story of the herbal tea and asked permission to give it a try under his observation. Since there was apparently nothing else medical technology could do, Dr. Fisher consented on the spot. " I obtained the necessary herbs, with some difficulty, " Rene wrote, " and made the tea. " Rene put it succinctly in her book: " My aunt lived for 21 years after being given up by the medical profession. There was no recurrence of cancer. " One could write " needless to say " when describing the reaction by Dr. Fisher, but when it comes to cancer, the behavior of the medical profession is anything but predictable. However, Dr. Fisher was, indeed, impressed with what he observed. He asked Rene to treat other patients -- other " hopeless " cancer patients. Dr. Fisher spread the word to other doctors and soon Rene was being asked to treat their " hopeless " patients as well. They, too, were impressed with the results. By this time the year was 1926. The rate of cancer death in the United States had risen to 103 per 100,000! Apparently, cancer was growing in the general population very much like a malignant tumor. Obviously Rene became very attached to the herbal formula. She called it ESSIAC, which is Caisse spelled backwards. Of all the factors inherent in the bureaucratic syndrome that sets itself up within the structures of large organizations, the NIH factor is among the most powerful of influences. Not invented here! This is not the only reason for the infamous " waivers " required by large corporations, but it's likely the most sincere. Legally, the deep pockets of large corporations are a target for nuisance lawsuits, so they must take great care with what they accept or reject that comes to them from outsiders. None of this is truly germane to Rene's case, however. The simplest fact is -- ESSIAC is not going to profit a large drug company, even if it is acknowledged as the " cure for cancer. " Firstly, it would wipe out most of the other product sales and secondly there is no way a company can monopolize a simple herbal tonic if the secret formula gets out. They could protect the formula as Coca Cola has done, you might argue. True, but why ruin all that good business with the real thing? Cancer may be deadly, but loss of economy is even deadlier in many a person's view. Rene really knew better than to try soliciting the large drug companies, but she tried anyway. Back when WWII broke out, she recalled the fact that ESSIAC had a way of stopping hemorrhages -- the face cancer case for example. She wrote to Parke Davis company in hopes they would use her formula to help wounded servicement during the conflict. No dice! She wrote to Merck and to the Biochemical Institute at the University of Texas and received frustration for her efforts. Finally, in 1973 at the age of 85 Rene Caisse tried Sloan- Kettering one more time. Perhaps she was stimulated by all the hype for President Richard Nixon's " War on Cancer, " program where the rich within the cancer establishment were going to get richer. The Laetrile controversy was in full bloom and Sloan-Kettering was in the middle. Many people today, including the man who served as the public relations officer for Sloan-Kettering, Dr. Ralph Moss, are conviced that the " tests " for any efficacy with Laetrile were rigged to fail. Dr. Chester Stock, who figured prominently in the Laetrile squabble by the nature of his position, responded to Rene that if she would send ESSIAC, they would again test it. Rene sent Sloan-Kettering one of the herbs -- probably the Burdock Root -- because it is the apparent tumor regressor. The other three are blood purifiers and symbiotic support substances. She also gave them careful instruction on how to prepare and inject the material. Results of their tests were never released. Maybe future inspection of the archives at Sloan-Kettering may tell the truth about the results of the animal experiments. The ESSIAC formula : 6 & 1/2 cups of Burdock Root (cut) 16 ounces of Sheep Sorrel herb (powder) 1 ounce of Turkey Rhubarb Root (powder) 4 ounces of Slippery Elm Bark (powder) Preparation of ESSIAC herbal tea : 1) Measure out 8 ounces of the Essiac mix (the dry formula above) 2) Place two gallons of distilled water in a stainless steel kettle. 3) Bring the water to a brisk boiling point (about 30 minutes) 4) Put ESSIAC dry mix into the boiling water, stir and boil hard for about 10 minutes 5) Allow to sit and cool slowly for six hours. 6) After six hours, stir it thoroughly with a wooden or stainless tool 7) Let it sit for another six hours 8) Return kettle to stove and bring to a boil 9) When the boiling point is reached, turn off the heat and pour the contents through a stainless strainer into a second stainless kettle 10) Clean the first kettle thoroughly 11) Strain the contents a second time from pot two to pot one 12) Bottle the herbal tea immediately into dark amber bottles and seal it while still hot (*** Dark amber bottles may be purchased from most any drug store or pharmacy ***) 13) Store in refrigerator Directions for use of ESSIAC Heat two ounces (four tablespoons) distilled water, then mix it with two ounces of ESSIAC tea taken directly from the refrigerator. ESSIAC should be taken at bed time on an empty stomach, at least two hours after eating. It can be taken in the morning on an empty stomach. If taken in the morning, do not eat for at least two hours after taking the ESSIAC. Keep the ESSIAC refrigerated at all times. Shake well each time before pouring.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 Thought some of these recipes may be of interest to some of you as well. Regards, Dorothy. ============== General Tincture Method =============== Powdered herb(s) Vegetable glycerin Vodka ======================================================= Put finely powdered herb(s) in blender. Cover with 2/3 vodka, 1/3 vegetable glycerine mixture. Blend for a few seconds, and put mixture in glass jar covered with cloth and rubber band. Let sit for 7 days in a warm place (80 deg F). Strain through cheesecloth, squeezing herbs well. Wash off bolus with a bit of vodka to rinse and squeeze again, if desired. This makes a cloudy but powerful tincture, usually strong enough to be considered an extract. After straining, the mixture can be allowed to sit again for a few days to allow some of the powder to settle, poured off the top, and then strained through successively finer filters until desired clarity is attained. Filters that can be used in increasing order of effectiveness are as follows. If there are volatile oil components in the herb(s), it is best to leave it cloudy and not strain through too much, which will absorb many of them. Cheesecloth Fine cotton fabric (T-shirt material) Gold plated permanent coffee filter Paper coffee filter Vegetable glycerin is sold at health food stores. The highest quality, lowest price product I have seen is made by Now Foods. It is a sweet tasting, vegetable oil product. This method produces a product which contains approx 20% alcohol, 20% water, 30% vegetable glycerin, and 30% herb compounds, if 80 proof vodka is used. Some of the alcohol and water will evaporate when the jar is sitting in the warm spot, covered with cloth. Since it contains oil, water, and alcohol, it is one of the most effective mixtures for extracting herbs (different components of herbs can be water, fat, or alcohol soluble). Vegetable glycerin is thick and will suspend many particles making filtering through fine filters difficult, but it is best to leave particles in it to increase the strength anyway. To make an alchol extract, use 100 proof vodka and no vegetable glycerine. After initial straining, allow to sit in cloth- covered glass jar another 7 days or so until volume is decreased by 1/3. To make the most powerful extract, use grain alcohol (Everclear or Goldengrain) and allow mixture to sit after initial straining to 1/2 or less initial volume. Alcohol extracts can easily be filtered to get a clear product. Vegetable glycerin can be added to sweeten after desired clarity is reached. To remove alcohol from tintures or extracts before consuming, the dose can be mixed in hot water and allowed to sit for 5 minutes to evaporate it. Rum can be used instead of vodka and will result in a tincture or extract which tastes better, according to some. =================== Linament 992 ===================== Apple cider vinegar Vodka Comfrey White willow bark St. John's wort Rosemary oil Lavender oil Eucalyptus oil ======================================================= This is an excellent topical for all sorts of muscle, joint, and bone problems as well as for assisting healing in simple fractures and such. It should not be used internally, near mucous membranes, or on open sores, but I would try it on psoriasis, shingles, and eczema if they were not weeping. Use often. It can be blended with sodium alginate or other thickener to make a cream. All herbs are purchased or ground to fine powder. Mix together 3 parts comfrey 2 parts St. John's wort 2 parts white willow bark Put in blender and add enough of a half and half mix of vodka and vinegar to make a thick slurry. If using a vitamixer, can be immediately strained through hops bag or t-shirt material cotton. Otherwise, let soak a week or so before filtering. This is a recipe posted to the Rife listserver in regards to a thread on skin cancer by someone who wishes to remain anonymous. I make remarks in braces in a couple of places where I think additional information is important.. ========================================== I thought this would be of interest while on the subject of Melanoma. This is a recipe of a black paste very similar to the cansema, I have used the cansema a lot over the years, but this is my preferred paste for melanoma and all suspect skin cancer like lesions. This paste also has worked well for all manner of cancers provided that they have become exposed to or very close to the surface of the skin. BLACK PASTE 1/2 cup powdered Blood Root (Sanguinaria Canadensis) 1/2 cup Zinc Chloride, crystals or liquid 1/2 cup common white flour (use plain without conditioners) 1 1/2 cup warm water 100ml Chaparral extract or 100gm of powdered Chaparral (Larrea mexicana) Pre-mix all but water, thoroughly, before adding to water. Using stainless steel double boiler. Put in water then stir in the other ingredients. Stir in well using a wooden spoon. Cook for thirty minutes over boiling water stirring constantly. Application is much the same as cansema, apply a thin layer (2-3mm) of the paste over the affected area and cover for 24 hours. Then remove covering but do not disturb the lesion at all, do not attempt to pull the cancer out at any time, it should fall out by itself in 10 days or so. Some people with sensitive skin put vaseline around the cancer so that the paste does not irritate the surrounding skin. {turf's note: NEVER put petroleum products on the body, especially if there is cancer. Use something like Unpetroleum Jelly, available at health food stores.} Hope this is helpful. {More turf's notes - According to those who have used Cansema, if the lesion is cancerous, it will cause a large scab to form. If it is not cancer, it may cause some skin irritation but will not form the large scab. To get the best results, people usually use aloe juice blotted onto the scab a few times daily until the scab falls off and the skin underneath heals. If necessary, another round of Cansema then aloe juice is used. Use only George's brand aloe juice, which is the only one without additives, plus it is widely available in health food stores and inexpensive. Note the instruction to use a double boiler. This may be important so the mixture will not rise above the temperature of boiling water.} Hoxsey Internal Formulas I don't know the source of veracity of this, so take it for what it is. The formulas look to be strong alteratives with considerable antiseptic action provided by the iodide. These are definitely not for someone who is sensitive or allergic to iodine (like myself - it makes me break out in small pimples on my forehead so I would not take it.) -- turf ------- In the last analysis all medicines are proved, by actual use on patients. In jargon " Empirically. " The following is the 16 oz. Hoxsey Tonic as analyzed by the AMA Laboratories. -- Each 5cc contains: Hoxsey Tonic Potassium Iodide ............. 150 Mg. Licorice ..................... 20 Mg. Red Clover ................... 20 Mg Burdock Root ................. 10 Mg. Stillingia Root .............. 10 Mg. Berberis Root ................ 10 Mg. Poke Root .................... 10 Mg. Cascara Amarga ............... 5 Mg. Prickly Ash Bark ............. 5 Mg. Buckthorn Bark ............... 20 Mg. Maximum does: 1 teaspoonful 4 times per day. -- Black Pills Potassium Iodide ............. 75 Mg. Licorice ..................... 10 Mg. Red Clover ................... 10 Mg. Burdock Root ................. 5 Mg. Stillinga Root ............... 5 Mg. Berberis Root ................ 5 Mg. Poke Root .................... 5 Mg. Cascara Amarga ............... 5 Mg. Prickly Ash Bark ............. 2 1/2 Mg. Buckthorn Bark ............... 10 Mg. Maximum dose: 2 pills 4 times per day. -- Red Pills Potassium Iodide ............. 75 Mg. Red Clover ................... 10 Mg. Stillinga Root ............... 5 Mg. Berberis Root ................ 5 Mg. Poke Root .................... 5 Mg. Buckthorn Bark ............... 10 Mg Pepsin one tenth Mg........... 1/10 Mg. Maximum dose: 2 pills 4 times per day. We submit the following analysis of each in its clinical and laboratory findings each discovered by the bedside use, and confirmed by recoveries from diseased conditions as evidence of its value in such diseases as cancer, both internal and external. Potassium Iodide is an alterant tonic influencing the glandular system, the serous and mucous membranes. It cures specific ulcerations. ==================== Parablend ==================== Cloves Wormwood (artemisia absynthium) or gentian root and quassia or artemisia annua Neem leaves Barberry root bark, goldenseal root, or oregon grape root Yellowdock, plantain leaves, sheep sorrel, or Chinese rhubarb Chaparral, burdock, or echinacea =================================================== Herbal parasite blends should be taken with enzymes like Enzymatic Therapy Megazymes, American Biologics Inflazyme Forte, or (best of all) ficin (fig enzyme) for more effect and to decrease toxicity of parasite remains. Starch and sugar consumption should be limited and protein consumption increased in most cases for best results. Many more tips, as well as low cost suggestions, are given in the Parasite section of Organ and Body Cleansing. There were two reasons I developed this blend, based loosely on Hulda Clark's antiparasitic regimen, which consists of green extra strength black walnut tincture, fresh cloves, and wormwood (absynthium). The main one is that green extra strength black walnut tincture is almost impossible to find unless it is made oneself. Neem leaves are specified instead. Another is to provide more cleansing and broader spectrum action. Many people who use antiparasitics will not or do not have time to perform the organ cleanses before beginning a parasite regimen. This can cause a strain on the organs of elimination and cause an endogenous toxin load in the blood. Yellowdock, barberry, and chaparral are used to combat this, as well as provide antiparasitic action of their own. Chaparral is thought by some to cause a problem with kidneys and lymphs and some say it is a problem for the liver. This is probably because its action is so strong that much microbe and parasite residue is produced. However, chaparral has been used by many as a sole antiparasitic/antiseptic with no problems and some excellent naturopaths like Michael Tierra recommend use at many times the dosage included in Parablend apparently without problems. Burdock or echinacea are provided as substitutes for those who are very cautious, and these should be used instead if the first round of administration of Paraherbs causes too much painful kidney pressure, upper back pain, or excessive swelling of lymphs. Parablend is composed of some of the most bitter herbs known. It is most easily taken in capsule form, but many take even bitter herbs like this as a tea. This is very difficult because of the taste. I have taken the blend by tossing 1/2-1t at a time to the back of my throat (bypassing taste buds on tongue) and swallowing with water or mixing a tablespoon or more in a little pineapple juice and swigging down quickly. Tossing powdered herbs to the back of the throat is a learned skill. See article on Capsules and Other Methods of Administration of Herbs for info on this and other methods and instruction on encapsulating herbs. Parablend will likely cause diarrhea for a couple of days if an antiparasitic or bitter herb blend has never been used. Besides parasite remains being eliminated, a lot of this is from stimulation of digestive organs, especially the liver, from the bitter herbs. It will pass in a few days but if not, decrease dosage. If there is insufficient elimination, though, it is highly recommended that a mild antiparasitic laxative, like half dosages of senna, cascara sagrada, or castor oil be used to improve elimination of remains and provide extra action if needed. Take any laxative like these with 3 or 4 ginger capsules (1t powder) or a teaspoon of fennel seeds (chewed well) to prevent stomach upset. Always drink plenty of water during any cleansing regimen. To make Parablend grind the herbs to a powder, or buy in powdered form (_EXCEPT_ cloves). These herbs are available at many stores that stock bulk herbs or they can order them, plus are available at some places which advertise bulk herbs on the net. All parts are by WEIGHT. Neem leaves or powder should be green. Some stocks of the leaves are so old that they are brown or tan in color. Cloves refer to clove buds, which are pungent hard flower buds available in the spice section of markets, commonly used to stud hams before cooking. They must be purchased whole and ground oneself for inclusion below because they quickly lose potency after grinding. Parts Ingredient 3 Wormwood absynthium 3 Cloves 3 Neem leaves 1 Barberry root bark 1 Yellowdock root 1 Chaparral Instead of pure wormwood absynthium, a 1/2 and 1/2 blend of annua and absynthium can be used. This is useful to combat smaller pathogens such as spirochetes, protozoa, and amoeba as well as for tropical diseases, especially malaria. A half and half mixture of quassia and gentian root can be used instead of wormwood in areas where absythium is difficult to find or illegal. Green neem leaves can be hard to find so for the first week or two, green black walnut leaves or eucalyptus leaves can be used. Instead of barberry root bark, any other berberine containing plant can be used, like goldthread root, goldenseal root or oregon grape root, but barberry is usually easiest to find and inexpensive. Instead of yellowdock root, chinese rhubarb root, sheep sorrel, or plantain leaves can be used, but yellowdock is widely available and should be used instead. Chaparral is available at many shops that sell bulk but for those who are cautious, echinacea angustofolia root or burdock root can be used instead. This formulation is typically encapsulated, packed into capsules at about 400-500mg per capsule (#0) and taken at up to 10 capsules two to three times per day before meals for those with serious parasitic diseases. Taken in powder form as tea or eaten, up to 2.5t or a scant tablespoon is used. As a preventative or prophylactically, 5 capsules (hpg teaspoon) is taken twice per day, or 10 once per day. Use three to four weeks daily, then once or twice per week afterward. ==================== Euroalt Tea ===================== Yarrow flowers Calendula flowers Nettle leaf Shavegrass Wood sorrel, sheep sorrel, or plantain leaves Dandelion root ====================================================== Euroalt Tea is an adaptation of Maria Treben's alterative tea formula specified in her book " Health Through God's Pharmacy. " It can be used to combat many diseases. It is similar in action to essiac tea, but much more potent in its action. The ingredients in this tea are strongly antibacterial and antifungal plus have a good deal of antiparasitic and antiviral properties. It is a urinary and digestive tract astringent, organ and lymph cleanser, and diuretic. Treben's book is highly regarded in Europe where she lives. Her remedies for many diseases are quite effective and although she does not mention them as a cause of disease in most cases, her regimens are usually effective against parasites when appropriate. One problem with her formulas is that many of the herbs she specifies for use are not available in the US. Euroalt tea is bitter but not nearly as objectionable as most antiparasitic blends. It can be taken with fresh lemon squeezed in and a bit of Sucanat or turbinado sugar or honey if desired. It can be used as a very effective antiseptic and healing external poultice by mixing with water into a paste, applying, and covering with plastic wrap to conserve moisture. Although this blend is very safe for external use, the poutice should be checked every hour for skin irritation and left on only a few hours at first until it is ensured there is no adverse reaction to it. An antiseptic tincture can also be made from the powder by covering with vodka in a jar, leaving in a dark, warm place, shaking daily for 7 days, then straining out powder. In many cases, Treben specifies to take her version of the tea along with a tablespoon of Swedish Bitters three times per day. Swedish Bitters is sold at some health food stores and is an alcoholic extraction of bitter herbs which is antiparasitic, aromatic, and improves digestion. These bitters are expensive, though, and not nearly effective as an antiparasitic herb blend (see Parablend recipe) to remove parasites. For this formula, the appropriate dosage is two teaspoons Euroalt powder mixed with just-boiled water steeped ten minutes, with a cup drunk before meals. For prophylactic treatment, 1-3 cups per day is drunk. For serious illness, 3-6 cups per day are used. A large amount can be made in the morning and put into a thermos to administer throughout the day. As with all diuretics, lots of water should be taken throughout the day when doing a regimen, and potassium and other mineral-rich foods (fresh fruits and vegetables preferably juiced, plus use Morton Lite Salt or other potassium rich salt) should be freely consumed to prevent electrolyte imbalances. If a large amount is taken, it is imperative that mineral intake be increased. Sodium should NOT be restricted as long as potassium intake is high enough, a 4:1 potassium:sodium intake being ideal (see Potassium and Sodium section in General Tips). Calcium/magnesium/potassium supplements are widely available at herb shops and can also be used. One such is Solaray Electrolyte Minerals. To increase strength of any herbal tea, the ingredients should be ground to a powder. Although it is generally acceptable to strain teas to remove solids after steeping, it increases their strength if the powder is consumed along with it. To make Euroalt tea, grind the herbs to a powder, or buy in powdered form. These herbs are available at many stores that stock bulk herbs or they can order them, plus are available at some places which advertise bulk herbs on the net. All parts are by WEIGHT. Parts Ingredient 3 Nettles 3 Calendula flowers 3 Yarrow flowers 1 Dandelion root 1 Sheep sorrel 1 Shavegrass Instead of sheep sorrel, wood sorrel or plantain leaves can be used. Fresh pressed wood sorrel juice is specified by Treben to add to the tea after making instead of using the sorrel directly in the tea, but wood sorrel is not commonly available in the US. Plantain leaves can also be used instead of the sorrel. Use only green leaves or powder if possible. ===================== EuroAcute ===================== Echinacea angustofolia root Yarrow flowers Calendula flowers Goldenseal root Elder flower Barberry root bark Oregon grape root Licorice root ====================================================== This is an adaptation of my EuroAlt formula but more designed for acute illness. It still provides a good deal of cleansing action. Rich in berberine and other antibacterials, it is strong in action against many pathogens while the echinacea provides some immune stimulation. 3 parts echinacea angustofolia root 2 parts yarrow flowers 2 parts calendula flowers 1 part goldenseal root 1 part elder flower 1 part barberry root bark 1 part Oregon grape root 1/2 part licorice I make this into a strong tincture/extract and take a dropperful (from a 2 oz bottle) every 2 hours for acute infectious illness. ===================== Castor Phytolacca ================ Cold pressed castor oil Poke root (phytolacca americana) Rosemary oil Vitamin C ascorbic acid crystals ======================================================== Castor phytolacca is a combination topical used to treat swollen lymph glands, fibrocystic breasts, uterine fibroids, and to aid liver detox. It is rubbed into the affected area twice daily or more. For the liver, a poutice can be applied as for any castor oil liver poultice (although internal liver supplements are much more useful.) Although there may be much benefit of taking 8 or so drops twice daily internally as a cleansing agent, it is better to use a commercial phytolacca extract for this purpose to ensure the potency is correct since it can be dangerous taken to excess internally, but is perfectly safe used as desired externally. Poke root or phytolacca is a common roadside weed generally growing on hillsides in poor soil. The berries are especially poisonous taken to excess internally, but can be used as a staining poutice for some disorders. The leaves can be twice boiled and eaten, as can the young shoots. The root is the part most commonly used medicinally. It is very strong and usually requires a mattock to extract a good sized chunk of it. A 1/2 pound or so chunk of root is required for this recipe since when the dirty sections are cut and it is well peeled, about half the weight will be discarded. Wash and peel root, cutting off dirty portions. Cut into small chunks. Put in blender and cover with vodka and 1/4t vitamin C. Blend until perfectly smooth. Strain through cheesecloth to get 1/2 pint into 1 pint jar. Add 1/2 pint castor oil and 10 drops rosemary oil to fill jar. Shake well before each use. ===================== Multipurpose Deodorant ====================== Vodka Lemon juice Vegetable glycerin, sage oil, tea tree oil, grapefruit extract, lavendar oil, orange oil, eucalyptus oil, lime oil, clove oil, neem oil, lemon oil, sandalwood oil, peppermint oil, zinc oxide, aloe juice. =================================================================== A multipurpose deodorant with no petroleum derivatives or aluminum. The easiest recipe is to mix 1/3 vodka, 1/3 lemon juice, 1/3 water and shake well before every use. If this is too irritating, try using aloe juice (strain well if needed) instead of water, or adding a 1/6 amount of vegetable glycerin. Zinc oxide powder (1/2t per 4oz) will improve the action. Any of the oils stated (10-20 drops per 4oz) will also improve it and some will add scent, too. Sage oil is one of the premier deodorant oils and adds some antiperspirant action, too. Grapefruit extract is a strong antibacterial. The additions of these or lavendar, neem, eucalyptus, tea tree, clove oil, and possibly others may aid in draining lymphs (if they are a problem), rather than possibly clogging them with petroleum derivatives and other chemicals in regular deodorants. Neem oil can be added at a much higher amount than 10-20 drops since it is not irritating, but healing, even straight, but its smell should be masked with a scented oil. With the addition of scented oils, this recipe also makes an excellent air freshener spray. Add the oil(s) at the rate of 40 drops or more per 4 ounces. Now makes inexpensive oils which are of good quality. Where I shop at a discount herb shop, Now Tea Tree Oil costs about $7 per ounce, grapefruit extract $8 per ounce, eucalyptus oil $3 per ounce. They also make good quality vegetable glycerin. Now's grapefruit extract (not grapefruit seed extract) is pure Citricidal, which is twice as potent than most. I mention the prices to illustrate how worthwhile it may be to find Now brand oils and extracts since I have bought many inferior ones at much higher prices. ==================== Peppermint Breath Drops ================== Peppermint oil Vegetable glycerin Vodka =============================================================== Mix equal parts of ingredients. Dispense into small bottle. Shake well before each use. This is very strong - use one drop at a time. Now makes inexpensive oils which are of good quality. Where I shop at a discount herb shop, their peppermint oil costs about $4 per ounce. They also make good quality vegetable glycerin. =================== Immune System I =================== Pau d'arco inner bark Suma root ======================================================= Mix equal parts of powdered pau d'arco inner bark and suma root. Pour boiled water (16oz) over 1 hpg tablespoon powder, steep, and drink. Use 3-6 cups per day or as desired for serious disease or less as preventative. Take for 30 days at maximum dose, and then as needed. As in all herbal teas, it is best to use fine ground powdered herbs and drink the powder along with the liquid. This can make them much more powerful, albeit more bitter. These are two herbs that may be taken in large amounts. Taken together in sufficient quantities, they make a powerful remedy for many maladies. On their own, each one has cured many types of cancer and other serious and chronic diseases. Together, they seem complementary as each provides unique elements and actions. Suma is a tonic herb which improves energy levels and is " adaptogenic " , probably better than ginseng. It is expensive compared to most herbs at up to $6US per ounce in bulk, but much cheaper than panax ginseng. It appears to work systemically to stimulate many organs. It is a rich source of germanium, an important immune system factor. It is an excellent supplement for all forms of cancer, but especially leukemia, breast cancer, and Hodgkin's disease, plus effective for diabetes and one of the best to alleviate chronic fatigue. Pau d'arco is also known as lapacho or taheebo, among other names. Besides being a very good immune stimulant, pau d'arco supposedly gently cleans the organs and provides nutrients, is antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral, is one of the milder tasting antiparasitics, and can be taken in tea form. It is one of the few natural sources of CoQ10, a coenzyme which is used as a cellular antioxidant which supposedly inhibits cancer cells and as a circulatory system nutrient. Large amounts of CoQ10 are used by Hulda Clark to combat tapeworms, one of the more difficult parasites to treat. Pau d'arco is traditionally used for a great many chronic and degenerative disorders and is most effective taken long term daily. Besides its many useful properties in fighting disease, it also helps fight pain since it is mildly antiinflammatory and slightly diuretic. Diseases against which pau d'arco seems particularly effective include all forms of cancer and especially tumors, leukemia, and Hodgkin's, plus lupus, diabetes, polyps, rheumatism, Parkinson's, anemia, and maladies of the digestive, urinary, and respiratory tracts and skin. The one large problem with pau d'arco is that it is usually of questionable potency. The inner bark of the tree should be used, but this is rarely specified when it is sold in bulk. There are many species of tree, and only certain ones should be used. The purple variety is probably the best. Wisdom of the Ancients brand herbal tea is one of the few which markets a purple lapacho that is stated to be the inner bark properly cured. They also market a " plain " lapacho for a dollar or so cheaper per box. I found a site on the web which sells this brand of purple lapacho, but it is significantly more expensive than I have seen in many health food stores. Lapachol is perhaps the most active medicinal constituent of pau d'arco, but there is no way of knowing if a product contains any. One study in Canada showed that out of 12 pau d'arco products, only one had any detectable lapachol. Yet, inner bark typically contains 2-4% lapachol, so these were probably made of the outer bark or from a non-suitable species. There is one product sold in the US which is guaranteed potency at 3% lapachol and that is Herbal Active's Pau D'Arco. However, this is a very expensive product at about $15 per 60 small capsules. Michael Murray specifies to take 3% pau d'arco at a dosage of 15-20g three or four times per day. This would be one entire bottle per dose. Quite expensive when it is considered that a pound of the powdered bark typically costs less than $15 in bulk. However, there are about 40 active constituents in pau d'arco bark and most of them have at least some beneficial action. Even though lapachol may be the one most effective against the broadest range of bacteria, beta lapachone is one perhaps most effective against viruses and some parasites. The seven or more quinones in lapacho are perhaps most effective against fungi like candida and some bacteria like dysentery and tuberculosis plus many viruses. The quercetin component, besides being an excellent antioxidant, is one of the components effective against parasites, as is alpha lapachone. Further, when extracts are standardized for high contents of lapachol, the antimicrobial activity decreases, which implies that the other active constituents are as or more effective against bacteria and other pathogens when taken together. This leads me to believe that even the run-of-the-mill pau d'arco available in bulk has many benefits even if there is very little lapachol. Pau d'arco taken in small amounts is mild tasting, with a taste reminiscent of root beer. When taken in large amounts, the bitterness takes over, however, and using 1.5T per pint of water (3x the amount normally used in herb teas) makes a tea that is quite bitter, but still drinkable by most. Wisdom of the Ancients brand is usually less bitter tasting than the typical powdered pau d'arco sold in bulk. Adding a squeeze of lemon and/or peppermint leaves improves the taste, and a small amount of sugar like honey or turbinado further improves it. Very large amounts can cause anemia, probably by inhibition of beneficial intestinal bacteria, and there is an LD50 in rats for lapachol, but unless a pound or so is eaten per day, these side effects are negligible. The most effective dosage of pau d'arco according to Michael Moore, a naturopath who has studied the herb a good deal, is 15-20g (3T powder) made into a tea with a pint of water and taking a pint 3 or 4 times per day. The Wisdom of the Ancients brand Purple Lapacho gives the " Ancient Formula " to be 16-20g (8-10 bags) per quart of water. I assume this is meant to be taken three times per day, but the box does not say this. They specify the " natural formula " to be one bag (2g) per cup of water taken three times per day. I have heard of people getting significant relief from maladies using this small amount, causing chronic diseases to become asymptomatic, but reappear as soon as daily use was ceased. The higher doses are, of course, more likely to be curative rather than palliative. Suma is used as a food in South America and large amounts may be taken safely. 6g (1T powder) taken three times per day is considered a therapeutic dose, but more can be taken as desired and the ideal is probably around 30g per day. There are no harmful side effects taken at these amounts reported in any of the literature I have seen. However, it appears to be constipating so should be taken with enough daily magnesium and water to overcome this effect, or the dosage descreased until it is not a problem. The taste of suma is bland and vanilla-like at small doses, but, like pau d'arco, at larger doses the bitterness is pronounced. The bitter taste of these herbs is of no consequence when capsules are taken. To get a decent dose, the equivalent of 1.5T of the mixture, requires 20-30 capsules of a combination, or 10-15 500mg capsules of each, and this is taken three times per day. Pau d'arco is available inexpensively in capsules - I have seen Now brand for $4 per 100 450mg capsules. Suma is quite a bit more expensive in capsules or tablets, running about $10-15 per 60 capsules or tablets, but this price will probably drop as the herb becomes more widely available {that was written in early 1997. Sure enough, the herb has become more widely available and the price has dropped. Presently, suma is commonly available for under $10 per 100 capsules and the bulk price for powder has dropped from $60-80 per pound to less than $30.} At present, it is much cheaper to buy the herbs in bulk and drink tea form. Also, capsules can be made oneself and herbs can be taken in other manners besides tea (see Encapsulation and Other Methods of Administration.) Cat's claw is a relatively new supplement to the US market and is also a tree bark product like pau d'arco. It appears to have many of the same actions as pau d'arco and is probably more effective when compared to an equal weight of pau d'arco. It is not nearly as well studied and therefore less used, but I suspect that eventually it will be found to be more effective than pau d'arco for many diseases. It is quite bitter compared to pau d'arco and less suitable for taking large amounts in tea form. ======================= Immune System II ===================== Enzymatic Therapy ImmunoComp Enzymatic Therapy Esberitox Solaray Thymus Plus Eclectic Institute Echinacea Chewables Now Cat's Claw 5000 Vitamin C Enzymatic Therapy Doctor's Choice multivitamin, Astragalus, echinacea angustofolia root, goldenseal root or barberry root bark, licorice root, shitake or maitake mushroom, fo ti, cordyceps, thymus gland, Enzymatic Therapy Megazymes, beneficial bacteria. ============================================================== The absolute best regimens for the immune system are the following: 1) Remove toxins from the home environment and do not ingest or absorb molds, metals, or solvents. See Toxin Reduction. 2) Cleanse the organs of deposits, toxins, parasites, and other pathogens. See Organ and Body Cleansing. 3) Eat right. Get adequate protein and plenty of vegetables and ensure enough vitamins, minerals, and EFAs. See General Tips for multivitamin and multimineral recommendations. What's the point of spending a lot of money on supplements to palliate a poorly functioning immune system when the base cause is not being addressed? Cleaning the body of toxins and pathogens may improve organ function (thyroid, liver, kidneys, lymphs, etc) and improve immune response and resistance to diseases many times more effectively than any immune system herb. However, taking immune stimulants may be helpful while cleaning up, and during illness when there is no time to cleanup. The next most important changes for the majority of people are nutritional: ensure adequate dietary nutrition, especially protein, plus a good variety of vegetables and healthy oils; consume adequate vitamins, especially antioxidants and B vitamins; consume adequate minerals, like zinc, selenium, and magnesium. Antioxidants and enzymes can also greatly improve the immune system. Extra vitamins A, E, and especially C are helpful. If there is currently a lack of enzyme production in the body, taking a good enzyme product like Enzymatic Therapy Megazymes can be very effective. If there is an imbalance of flora in the gut, the Digestion and Elimination regimen of turmeric and fennel seeds and perhaps beneficial bacteria should be performed. Avoiding moldy folds, especially grains and moldy produce products, is especially important. I have seen one case where very low lymphocytes returned to normal in a matter of weeks once the person stopped drinking a daily cup of organic unfiltered apple juice. Bruised apples are a source of patulin mold, according to Hulda Clark, and quite harmful to T-cell counts. Grain products are the largest source of harmful molds. See Toxin Reduction for further information on avoiding molds. Untended infections can wreak havoc on the immune system, occupying it so that other pathogens can not be dealt with effectively. Dentalwork is likely a common cause of constant infection so any questionable areas should be seen to be a professional. Parasites and other systemic pathogens can also greatly affect the immune system and these must be addressed before immune performance can improve if they are a problem. Basically, this means to do the following: 1) Cleanup toxins and pathogens, then avoid them. 2) Eat more protein (30% calories) and vegetables (see The Zone and Eat Right For Your Type) and less starches and sugars. 3) Take a good multivitamin like Enzymatic Therapy Doctor's Choice or other complete high potency multivitamin or otherwise ensure adequate vitamins. 4) Take a good cal-mag like Solaray Calcium Magnesium or other chelated mineral supplement or otherwise ensure adequate minerals. 5) Take a tablespoon of flax oil per day or otherwise ensure adequate EFA consumption and avoid hydrogenated oils and trans fats (fried foods). Once these basic are addressed and more help is needed, then the following supplements are good values to improve immune response: Enzymatic Therapy Super Immuno-Comp - Guaranteed potency extracts of goldenseal, echinacea, astragalus, licorice, and shitake plus vitamins C and B6 and zinc. Enzymatic Therapy Esberitox - Tiny amounts of extracts of wild indigo, thuja, and echinacea. These herbs are premier cleansers, immune stimulants, and thuja is an excellent antiparasitic, although in this small dose, it probably does not have enough action taken short term. Solaray Thymus Plus Caps - Mostly glandulars and echinacea herb with some goldenseal root and cloves. Eclectic Institute's Echinacea Chewables - Echinacea extracts with vitamin C and larix, which is extract of larch, a better source of polysacharrides than echinacea. Now Cat's Claw 5000 - Guaranteed potency cat's claw extract that, considering it is a 15:1 extract, is cheaper than any other cat's claw product per dose I have seen in my area. Vitamin C - An inexpensive immune stimulant. High dose regimen is described in Antioxidant section of General Tips. Some of the ingredients which compose the above supplements can be quite useful taken on their own, too. Plus, most of them are available in bulk at some health food stores at a good price if one doesn't mind taking large amounts of the bulk herbs rather than capsules of extracts. One formula I have used is the following. Ingredients are ground to a fine powder or bought as such. Can be taken up to 1 heaping tablespoon powder three or four times per day up to four weeks. For long term administration at this high dosage, omit goldenseal (or barberry) and decrease licorice root to 1/4 part after the first month. Parts Ingredient 1 Goldenseal root or barberry root bark 1 Echinacea angustofolia root 1 Astragalus 1 Cat's claw 1/4 Licorice root ====================== Colloidal Silver ======================= 8-12 oz jar or glass 2 Silver ingots (0.999 or more pure) and thin bamboo skewers, or silver wire 3 9v batteries 3 9v battery terminal clip snap-ons (pack of 5 available at Radio Shack for $1) Distilled water 2 small alligator clips Thin bamboo skewers ================================================================ Connect 3 battery clips in series (positive to negative, connecting red wires to black). On the 2 unconnected wire ends, attach alligator clips. Preferably, solder to hold well, but electrical tape can be used after twisting wires together. Use only pure silver (99.9% or purer), not sterling. Some coin and fine jewelry shops sell pure silver ingots. A 1oz bar was about $7 last time I looked (months ago) and is probably even cheaper now. Pure silver wires are sold by some manufacturers mail order, and are much easier to use and even cheaper at $12 a pair. For ingots, drill small holes on either side of top of bar to accept bamboo skewers. Put batteries on clips. Do not touch clips or ingots once the batteries are connected or they will short. Wash jar or glass well. Rinse, then fill, with distilled water. Use _only_ distilled water. If purchased in a plastic jug, use one with a freshness date. Bring to boil in microwave and remove. Run skewers through tops of ingots so that they are 1 " apart and parallel. Suspend over glass so that ingots have maximum exposure to water, but ensure bamboo or clips which will be attached on top of ingots will not touch water. It may be necessary to use very small clips since the weight of large ones, or wire that is too stiff, may result in ingots being pulled to other than a parallel hanging position. Use paper shims under clips or otherwise arrange wires and clips to hold ingots in parallel, vertical position. Once the ingots are connected to power, watch for whitish cloud to begin forming between them (not easy to see - use flashlight if necessary). First, bubbles will form on ingots and 5-10 minutes later, particles will be seen emitting from one ingot. Start timer. Run for five more minutes. To speed up the process a bit, add an ounce of silver colloid from a previous batch. When done, remove ingots and clean tarnish off with Scotch brite pad. Pour colloid through multiple unbleached paper coffee filters. Pour into amber or brown bottles which have been cleaned and rinsed with distilled water. Store away from light and heat. This makes a metallic tasting but very clear colloid. -------------------------- I do not have enough experience with colloidal silver to personally vouch for its effectiveness, but many who make the stuff for the price of distilled water rave about it. I have used commercial 5 ppm " yellow " colloid and found it practically useless, and it was outrageously expensive to boot at about $10 for an ounce (a couple of years ago - price for some products has dropped a good deal). Advocates say that 30ppm or greater is the ideal concentration, and that less than this is usually ineffective. They also report that the clear form is best and yellow colloid, once thought to be the best quality, is caused by contaminants like salt added when processing and contains silver compounds like silver chloride and nitrate which can be harmful to take long term or large amounts. Strong silver nitrate is commonly used as a topical antiseptic and cauterizing agent in conventional medicine, and is not recommended for internal use. A light golden color is still acceptable to many CS advocates, and some people use distilled spring water to achieve it. A high dosage for internal use for acute maladies would be one ounce (2T) taken initially then 1T every two waking hours for up to two days. I would not use it longer than two days consecutively. If it did not work by then, I would try something else. Silver ions may or may not make it across the intestinal barrier when swallowed. Some say it does when made properly with the particle size in the 0.001 micron or lower range. Even so, for head, chest, nasal, or any infection outside the digestive tract, I hold it in my mouth, under and around the tongue, for one minute before swallowing so that some will be absorbed into the blood stream sublingually. Also, before swallowing, gargle with it to increase exposure to lower tongue and throat. It can also be sprayed nasally, and this seems particularly effective in combatting nasal infections. It can be used topically as desired. I cannot vouch for the safety of colloidal silver taken internally long term daily, but it is apparently safe to take short term to combat acute illness. According to balanced literature I have read (as opposed to government or pharmaceutical company scare-mongering), a pure ionic colloid with no contaminants is safe taking even large amounts long term. Solutions of silver proteins or any other form other than pure ionic colloid can cause problems, though, including argyvia, where the skin takes on a bluish cast, and presently, there is one person who took large amounts of a silver protein solution and whose skin turned blue being trotted out to show the harmful effects, ostensibly of any silver colloid. Either way, I would take it only short term and to treat acute illness. Advocates insist that it is safe and some have taken large amounts internally long term without side effects. Many state that it is among the best treatment for chronic and acute infections as well as topically for fungus, cuts, scrapes, etc. I have seen a few anecdotes of people using prescription drugs, herbs, and other supplements for long time infections report no success until they started using colloidal silver. This recipe is proferred so that one can make some and have it sitting around in case of illness (like the flu or cold), use a few ounces daily for a couple days, see how it does, and report the results. If it is used for colds, remember that any remedy that can quickly cure a cold must be administered in the first few hours after symptoms appear. After this, damage to cells caused by cold virus enzymes (similar to the action of spider venom) will occur and immediate cure of symptoms is not possible. Again, it should be used sublingually to be more effective outside the digestive tract. The following excerpt is from http://www.keelynet.com/biology/colloid.htm (and is complete with the typical keelynet conspiracy overtones (never attribute to malicious conspiracy that which can adequately explained by simple stupidity)). This article goes on to explain how to build a 27V zapper (square wave generator) connected to fine silver wire for making the colloid, but those who have experimented with the process state that using a straight DC current with ingots as described in the above process works just as well or better. One of the keys to the above process is likely using boiling water, which I wager more than makes up for using a straight DC current as opposed to a pulsed one. >>>>>Excerpt>>>>> Dr. Robert O. Becker, " The Body Electric, " recognized a correlation between low silver levels and sickness. He said silver deficiency was responsible for the improper functioning of the immune system. Dr. Becker's experiments conclude that silver works on the full spectrum of pathogens without any side effects or damage to the body. He also states that silver does more than kill disease-causing organisms. It also causes major growth stimulation of injured tissues. Burn patients and even elderly patients notice more rapid healing. And he discovered that cancer cells can change back to normal cells. All strains of pathogens resistant to other antibiotics are killed by silver. What is Colloidal Silver? Colloidal Silver is the result of an electro-magnetic process that pulls microscopic particles from a larger piece of silver into a liquid, such as water.(8) These microscopic particles can more easily penetrate and travel throughout the body. Colloidal Silver works as a catalyst, disabling the enzyme that all one celled bacteria, fungi and viruses use for their oxygen metabolism. In short, the bad guys suffocate. Unlike with antibiotics, resistant strains have never been known to develop. In fact, antibiotics are only effective against perhaps a dozen forms of bacteria and fungi, but never viruses. Because no known disease-causing organism can live in the presence of even minute traces of the chemical element of metallic silver, Colloidal Silver is effective against more than 650 different disease-causing pathogens.(9) Since there is not enough room to list all the diseases against which Colloidal Silver has been used successfully, here is a tiny sample: acne, allergies, appendicitis, arthritis, blood parasites, bubonic plague, burns (colloidal silver is one of the few treatments that can keep severe burn patients alive), cancer,(10) cholera, conjunctivitis, diabetes, gonorrhea, hay fever, herpes, leprosy, leukemia, lupus, lymphangitis, Lyme disease, malaria, meningitis, parasitic infections both viral and fungal, pneumonia, rheumatism, ringworm, scarlet fever, septic conditions of the eyes, ears, mouth and throat, shingles, skin cancer, staph infections, strep infections, syphilis, toxemia, trenchfoot, all forms of viruses, warts and stomach ulcer. In addition it has veterinary uses, such as for canine parvo virus. You'll also find Colloidal Silver very handy in the garden since it can be used against bacterial, fungal and viral attacks on plants. Simply spray diluted Colloidal Silver on the leaves, and add to soil water. It would appear highly unlikely that even germ warfare agents could survive an encounter with Colloidal Silver, since viruses like Ebola and Hanta, or even the dreaded " flesh-eating bacteria " are, in the end, merely hapless viruses and bacteria. To top it off, Colloidal Silver is virtually non-toxic, making it safe for both children and adults, as well as pets.(11, 12) In short, anything bigger than a one-cell animal seems to like it. Nor does one have to worry about that FDA (Food and Drug Administration) fox being put in charge of this home remedy hen house. Colloidal Silver is a pre-1938 healing modality, making it exempt from FDA jurisdiction under the grandfather clause.(13) So why haven't you heard of it? I suspect the user-friendly economics of Colloidal Silver may have something to do with its low profile in the media. Colloidal Silver can't help but shine a spotlight on the expensive and deadly nature of our pharmaceutical industries, who are bigger than the Pentagon economically. For example, the pharmaceutical cartel's relentless promotion of dangerous vaccines for humans and animals through government programs have now been linked to everything from increasing crib deaths in infants (who in many documented cases scream for hours before dying), to the increasingly common disease, feline leukemia, in house cats.(14) Colloidal Silver, on the other hand, is a safe and reliable alternative to expensive pharmeceuticals. It is true that consuming large amounts over long periods of time may kill some friendly bacteria in your intestines. If taking large amounts, you should supplement your diet with yogurt or acidophilus, or compensate for possible bacteria loss in some other way. This is not, however, a serious problem, and unlike antibiotics, Colloidal Silver does not weaken the body's immune system. In fact, it is said to give the body a second immune system, creating a shield against disease of all kinds. A good quality Colloidal Silver can be diluted as much as 8 to 1 and still be highly effective. An average adult dose might be one or two ounces of concentrate mixed in an eight-ounce glass of water, not more than three times a day. However, there would appear to be a great deal of leeway here, since no toxic dose is known. Sadly, some Colloidal Silvers currently on the market have as little as 1 part per million (ppm) and sell for as much as $60.00 for eight ounces. However, thanks to physicist Bob Beck's brilliantly simple design outlined below, you can now construct your own generator and produce unlimited amounts of high-quality Colloidal Silver concentrate. And for only 1/10th of a cent per gallon, plus the price of water! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< A recipe from my web page, http://www.mindspring.com/~turf/ Numbers in () denote parts in the mixture, e.g. 4 parts fennel seeds to 1 part crampbark. All ingredients are either purchased as or ground to a fine powder. Check herb shops, catalogs, or web pages to find the herbs and mix them yourself. I do not sell them commercially. ======================= Tum-Eze ========================== Slippery elm bark (4) Fennel seeds (4) Dandelion root (2) Ginger (2) Crampbark (1) Oregon grape root (1) Coriander (1) Turmeric (1) Wild yam root (1) Cinnamon (1) Optional: Ecologic Formula's Reagent Quality Trisalts (1) (bicarbonates and carbonates of magnesium, calcium, and potassium). Peppermint leaves (1 - 2) =========================================================== This formula helps alleviate almost any digestive disturbance, whether it is indigestion, acid reflux, cramping, diarrhea, mild constipation, etc. It should be taken with water. After mixing, the herbs can be put into capsules, made into tea, or mixed with a bit of honey and/or water and eaten. Although a bit bitter (from the grape root and crampbark) and spicy hot (from the ginger, cinnamon, and coriander), it is palatable. Dose is 2-4 capsules or more as desired, or a teaspoon eaten or in tea, more or less as desired. Made into tea without tea bags, the slippery elm is a bit distasteful as it becomes mucilage, but it is not too bad. If in tea bags, though, one does not get the benefit of consuming the mucilage. For best results, do not use a tea bag, leave the powder in, and drink/eat it if making a tea. Peppermint leaves can be added for flavor (although it tastes pretty good already), but should NOT be if the formula will often be used for acid indigestion (reflux). Although Tum-Eze is excellent to quell acid indigestion as is, the optional Trisalts combination powder can be added to increase the action. It will detract from the flavor of a tea, however. It excels at alleviating and preventing cramping and indigestion (knots in the stomach) and this is the reason for which I originally designed the formula. It will give one a pleasant, warm feeling in the stomach in a very short time. It is especially good to be taken when using vitamin C, zinc, or other potentially gut-wrenching supplements. It also improves digestion from large meals. Although a blend with stronger antibacterial and antiparasitic action should be used for chronic disorders like IBS and Crohn's, Tum-Eze can greatly alleviate symptoms and may even be therapeutic if enough is taken. Dandelion root is a diuretic, and will cause increased urination if taken in large enough amounts. Plenty of water should be drunk. Even though dandelion root is among the safest of diuretics since it is rich in potassium, salt (sodium) should NOT be completely avoided and potassium-and- other-mineral-rich foods should be eaten if taking Tum-Eze long term. ============================= " Nasal Spray 996 " Ingredients: Colloidal silver, aloe juice, shark liver oil, lavendar oil, zinc chelate. Mix 2/3 colloidal silver with 1/3 ratio aloe juice. To one ounce of the mixture, mix in one small shark liver oil (250mg) or vitamin A/D capsule (25000IU/1000IU) and 1 drop lavendar oil. Can also add a pinch of zinc mix from a zinc capsule or tablet (25mg or so). Shake well each use. Spray as desired. Can be used in conjunction with Now Fenugreek Thyme capsules taken internally, which are very inexpensive ($4 / 100) but hard to find. They are 700mg fenugreek to 300mg thyme per 2 capsules. For nasal spray bottles in the past, I would go to Costco and buy their 2 pack of conventional nasal spray ($2.50), dump them out and use the bottles. Then I found Luce Packaging which sells nasal spray pump bottles on the net (but there is a 12 bottle min.) ============================ Two recipes for essiac follow. One is for a large batch and one for small. The classic formula is given first, but I like the second where a single batch is made at a time in a crock pot. I think there is much benefit in this formula if taken in large amounts, like drinking at least a pint per day. If I could not make it ahead of time, I would just get powders of all the herbs and mix it up into boiling water and drink it like any other tea, consuming the powder in the bottom of the cup. Drunk in sufficient quantity, it would be a good antiseptic and cleanser. The ESSIAC formula : 6 & 1/2 cups of Burdock Root (cut) 16 ounces of Sheep Sorrel herb (powder) 1 ounce of Turkey Rhubarb Root (powder) 4 ounces of Slippery Elm Bark (powder) Preparation of ESSIAC herbal tea : 1) Measure out 8 ounces of the Essiac mix (the dry formula above) 2) Place two gallons of distilled water in a stainless steel kettle. 3) Bring the water to a brisk boiling point (about 30 minutes) 4) Put ESSIAC dry mix into the boiling water, stir and boil hard for about 10 minutes 5) Allow to sit and cool slowly for six hours. 6) After six hours, stir it thoroughly with a wooden or stainless tool 7) Let it sit for another six hours 8) Return kettle to stove and bring to a boil 9) When the boiling point is reached, turn off the heat and pour the contents through a stainless strainer into a second stainless kettle 10) Clean the first kettle thoroughly 11) Strain the contents a second time from pot two to pot one 12) Bottle the herbal tea immediately into dark amber bottles and seal it while still hot (*** Dark amber bottles may be purchased from most any drug store or pharmacy ***) 13) Store in refrigerator Directions for use of ESSIAC Heat two ounces (four tablespoons) distilled water, then mix it with two ounces of ESSIAC tea taken directly from the refrigerator. ESSIAC should be taken at bed time on an empty stomach, at least two hours after eating. It can be taken in the morning on an empty stomach. If taken in the morning, do not eat for at least two hours after taking the ESSIAC. Keep the ESSIAC refrigerated at all times. Shake well each time before pouring. >I have been using a product called Essiac Tea. >This Is 4 herbs combined to make a tea that you >consume 2 ounces twice a day.

If they grow longer than that, the final loaf will be too " green " . It usually takes 24 to 48 hours for the sprouts to reach 1/2 inch in length. Grind the sprouted wheat. We use an old fashioned hand-cranked meat grinder. You will end up with a rubbery glob. Form into an oval shaped loaf and bake in a shallow dish at 250 to 275 degrees (F) for about 1.5 to 2 hours, until browned. Cool, keep refrigerated, and slice with a wet, serrated knife. The finished bread has a pleasantly sweet flavor. Some like to top a slice with cheese and make a real meal of it. Note: You can add whatever extra ingredients are appropriate for the blood types in your household (chopped dates, raisins, salt, honey, grated carrots, whatever). You can also substitute rye grain for wheat, if you prefer. Be creative ================== Nuts and Nut Butters =================== Peanuts, pecans, sesame seeds, flax seeds, flax oil, Brazil nuts, extra virgin olive oil, grape seed oil, macadamia oil, macadamia nuts, cashews, filberts, pine nuts. =========================================================== Nuts usually contain large amounts of lectins and therefore have the potential to be allergenic or otherwise harmful to digestion and the immune system. See D'Adamo's " Eat Right For Your Type " to see recommendations based on blood type. For example, peanuts are beneficial to blood type A's and AB's but potentially harmful to blood type O's and B's. Almonds are okay or beneficial to all blood types, as are walnuts. Excessive amounts of walnuts or flax seeds or other omega 3 sources should be avoided, though, since they can interfere with prostaglandin production, but they are highly beneficial taken in lesser amounts. See General section on Fats and Oils for more information. When consuming nuts, they should be thoroughly ground or chewed well. They are usually not digested when they are not, and can irritate the digestive tract, especially ones like almonds and peanuts. Nuts should be eaten raw when possible. High heat roasting will damage the oils, turning some healthy raw oils into harmful trans fats. Raw oils taken in moderation are useful to combat many ailments but overcooked nuts can contribute to many ailments. However, peanuts, really legumes and not nuts, must be cooked to be digestible. Blanching is acceptable to process them. This means soaking in a bit of water and baking at low heat until dry. This will cook peanuts well enough to be digestible. Peanuts are a source of aflatoxins and molds, more so than any nut. This problem can be minimized by soaking peanuts in water to which ascorbic acid (crystal vitamin C, 1/4t) has been added before baking and sorting out any dark or shriveled nuts. Bake at 300 deg until dry. Walnut Acre Farms sells peanut butter which is tested for aflatoxins, so is probably the best commercial peanut butter to use if it will not be made. They also make almond butter, and health food stores often sell raw almond butter, too. Pumpkin seeds are also potentially moldy and should be treated as peanuts, soaking them in vitamin C water and baking just until dry. It is also best to add vitamin C when grinding nuts. Adding too much will make a butter sour, though, so don't overdo it. Nuts can be ground in a high power food processor, large blender, or grinder. The thick, sticky butters will put a strain on most food processors and blenders, causing premature failure. The standard sized Cuisinart is probably the cheapest device that is able to make nut butters. Large blenders like the Vitamixer are able. Nut grinders are the best. They are available which attach to certain mixers (like Kitchenaid) and food processing centers. With food processors and blenders, it is much easier to add some oil to quicken the process and put less strain on the device. Just about any fresh cold processed oil, or extra virgin olive oil, can be added at about 2T or to correct consistency. Flax oil can be used to ensure a source of omega 3s and flax seeds will not be used. Nut grinders, of course, need no oils added to make nut butters. A limited amount of sweetening may be added like up to 2T Sucanat, brown or turbinado sugars, or honey, if desired. Below are the highly beneficial and acceptable nuts to use in for each blood type. The double comma delineates the highly beneficial nuts listed first from the " neutral " nuts listed after, as described by D'Adamo. Then a suggested basic recipe is given. Basic recipes are suggestions based not just on lectins but oil and mineral content and composition, taste, and cost. Additions used as desired are given, too. Find the blend you like best but always try to include an omega 3 source (flax or flax oil). Walnut is not a good one to use exclusively since it is pretty low in omega 3 and too high in omega 6. Pumpkin seeds may or may not contain omega 3's. However, don't use omega 3 nuts or seeds as a main ingredient if this will be a food source staple and over 4T per day will be consumed. ============== Type A ============== Nuts: Pumpkin seeds, peanuts, flax,, almonds, filberts, macadamia, poppy, sunflower, sesame, walnuts.

They are the only complete and balanced oil content seed, and can be used exclusively. However, they are hard to find if not illegal in most of the US and when they are sold, must first be irradiated to comply with US law. ======================== Ghee ======================= 1 or 2 lb unsalted butter Salt, if desired - Morton's Lite Salt or Hain's Sea Salt or Baleine Sea Salt. ===================================================== Put a pound or two of unsalted butter in a saucepan and heat on medium/high until it boils. Skim foam as it forms. Then, turn down the heat to low and stir occasionally. After about 20 minutes, the butter will clarify and the solids will sink to the bottom of the pan. After another 5 minutes or so, the solids will brown. It is then done. Strain through multiple layers of cheesecloth into a canning jar. Refrigeration is not necessary.
