The Powers of the Taheebo Tree

Doctor's Quotes and Statements

 

I found this article buried deep in the Internet and have no idea of the

author or source. It seems to have been posted in 1998 by a now defunct

site named Nature's Wisdom.

It does have original information and references not found elsewhere. I

include it here for your perusal.

 

Pau D'Arco; the Indians call it " Taheebo " , the Portuguese " Ipe Roxo " ,

and the Spanish " Lapacho " or " Tabebuia " .

 

This fascinating herb is taken from the inner bark of the tall tree

called La Pacho.

 

It is an ozoniferous plant, and grows only in the mountains of the

Andes, where there is ozone. Ozone air is fresh, pure, and free from

pollution, smog, exhaust, smoke and pesticides.

 

Pau D'Arco has been used since the time of the Incas by the Callaways, a

traditional tribe or caste of healers, which flourished before the

Spanish and Portuguese invasion in the early 1500's.

 

During the past 400 years, these traditional healers have occasionally

seen and ministered to white men, but the tree whose miraculous inner

bark they used was not officially " discovered " until about 20 years ago

by two health practioners Teodoro Meyer, M.D. and Prats Ruiz, M.D.

 

Dr. Teodoro Meyer, Professer of Botany and Plant Geography of the

National Unoiversity of Tucuman in Argentina, found the inner bark to

possess a wide range of properties.

 

Dr, Meyer states Pau D'Arco is " analgesic, sedative, decongestant,

diuretic, and hypotensive " . Such properties have justified its use for

many different ailments.

 

Recently a new use has been found for Pau D'Arco which may allow

thousands of allergic and chemically sensitive people to live more

comfortable lives.

 

Researchers have discovered that the Pau D'Arco tree is the only type

of vegetation known that will not permit the development of fungus, Most

plant life when exposed to water and weather become covered with spores

which lead to fungus formation.

 

This doesn't occur with Pau D'Arco.

The tree has an uncommon resistance.

 

This discovery has led to an experimentation on people who have yeast or

mold allergy, the assumption being that these same properties may

discourage Candida Albicans {a common yeast} long suspected to be the

causative factor in food allergy.

 

Another researcher, Dr, Robert Owens, has found Candida Albicans to be

correlated with " Chemical Hypersensitivity and other

immunological-related disorders. "

 

The hope has been raised that not only might Pau D'Arco control the

yeast and mold allergy, but also many other sensitivities as well.

 

Dr. Jeffrey Andersen, M.D., a Mill Valley, California health

practitioner, treated a woman with a difficult yeast infection. " Two

hours after using the tea as a douche the vaginal yeast infection was

cleared up nicely, " he says. Dr. Anderson's patients now begin drinking

Pau D'Arco tea-1/2 to 1 cup tea per day, increasing to a maintenance

dose of 4 cups per day in approximately 1 month.

 

Those who are using Pau D'Arco report that sometimes the symptoms become

worse initially, This is attributed to " yeast die-off. "

 

The theory is that as the yeast die and are filtered into the

bloodstream they cause allergic reactions. These reactions last only a

short time.

 

Phyllis Saifer, M.D., a clinical ecologist from Berkeley, reports good

results from members of the Environmental Illness Association who are

now using Pau D'Arco. Two members who previously experienced

incapacitating cerebral symptoms now claim to be in good health with few

or no remaining symptoms. One of the victims had been taking 16 Nystatin

pills (an anti-yeast medication) daily.

 

 

Dr. Walter Accorsi, doing clinical studies at the Municipal Hospital

Santo Andre, said: " From my first experiments with Pau D'Arco, I learned

two important things that greatly encouraged me in regard to cancer:

first it eliminates the pain and second, it multiplies the amount of red

corpuscles. "

 

The Cancer Institute has this report in " Cancer Chemotherapy Reports "

Part 2, Vol. 4, No. 4, Dec. 1974:

" More recently Pau D'Arco contains Quechua, a substance found to be a

powerful antibiotic with virus-killing properties. "

 

Clinical studies showed that Pau D'Arco has no contraindications, no

incompatabilities, and has been proven to be non-toxic. However, the

most innocuous of agents could finally become toxic if taken in large

enough amounts.

 

 

OTHER COMMENTS

Dr. Norman Farnsworth of the University of Illinois confirms the claims

that Pau D' Arco contains a substance that is highly effective against

cancers.

 

While many herbs are credited with properties that stop cell growth, Pau

d'Arco contains compounds which seem to attack the " cause " of the

disease.

 

Dr. James Duke of the National Institute of Health (NIH) agrees that Pau

D'Arco undoubtedly contains a substance found to be highly effective

against cancers.

 

John Heinerman, a medical anthropologist who specializes in the study of

herbal medicines, says, " It sounds too good to be true, but it seems to

have earned for itself considerable merit in the successful treatment of

most forms of cancer, diabetes, and certain other debilitating

diseases... "

 

R.C. Pilsner, D.Sc. and licensed nutrition specialist, writes, " Being a

biochemist, I have researched and analyzed many elements for their

nutrient value and their peculiar selective actions on...organs and

tissues. "

 

Pilsner has discovered that certain herbs emit an ultraviolet wave

known as " Gurwich rays " . These rays stimulate cell metabolism and the

body's own ability to rejuvenate itself.

 

He believes that herbs emitting the Gerwich rays include Pau D'Arco.

Pilsner has subjected Pau D'Arco to rigorous laborotory tests and

recommends daily use of Pau D'Arco tea as a nutritional supplement.

Post subject: SOUTH AMERICAN CANCER CURE

SOUTH AMERICAN CANCER CURE

 

 

ANCIENT FOLK MEDICINE

 

This article is one of the first printed, years ago, in a U.S.

publication about the curing powers of Pau d'Arco. It is reprinted here

from " The Spotlight " which is a " populist " weekly newspaper published in

Washinton, D.C.

Could an ancient South American Indian folk medicine cure many types of

cancer? Physicians and former cancer patients say yes. This has been

widely reported on in newspapers in Latin America, but not in the U.S.

 

South American physicians are using Indian folk medicine to successfully

treat various forms of cancer - including leukemia - and other

debilitating disease, but news of the cures has not made it into the

American media.

 

According to reports published in various South American periodicals

prior to the establishment-imposed blackout, the inner bark of two South

American trees of the Bignoniaceae family are used successfully in the

treatment of various diseases, including cancer.

 

A brew made with the inner bark of Lapacho Colorado (Tabebuia

Avellanedae) or Lapacho Morado (Tabebuia Altissima) seems to attack the

cause of the disease, according to medical reports.

 

Lapacho Colorado, or red lapacho - so called because of its scarlet

flowers - grows in the warmer part of South America: Brazil, northern

Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia etc. It was commonly used by the medicine

men of the Guarani and Tupi-Nambo Indians long before the advent of the

Spanish in the New World.

 

Another name for the lapachos is ipes, a name used in southern Brazil.

Red lapacho is called ipe roxo. Still another name for the trees is pau

d'arco; red lapacho is called pau d'arco roxo. " Pau d'arco " means " bow

stick " ; the natives use the wood to make their bows for archery.

 

The red lapacho is very common in its range, the tropical lowlands.The

lapacho morado, or purple lapacho, grows in cooler climes - in the

Andes, for example. In its range, it is not rare.

 

Red lapacho was discovered by the white man's medicine some 20 years ago

at Americana - a suburb of Sao Paulo, Brazil. That was where several

hundred Confederate families homesteaded at the invitation of Emperor

Dom Pedro II after the South was lost.

 

YOUNG GIRL CURED

 

The story of cancer-curing properties of the tropical bark begins about

20 years ago, when a Sao Paulo family had a homecoming party after a

trip to Rio de Janeiro. During dinner they told the story of a young

relative of theirs - a girl who was stricken with cancer.

 

The medical establishment had given up on the girl and had told the

parents that she did not have long to live. But a great aunt had

contacted an Indian tribal doctor who said that cancer could be cured

with the brew made from the bark of a certain tree.The medicine man gave

the woman a little bag of that bark.

 

The young girl and her parents at first disdained the medicine man's

concoction. But then the sick girl had a strange dream. She saw a friar

who told her: " Drink tea brewed with the bark the Indian gave you, and

you will get well. " At first she paid no attention to the dream, but as

her pain increased, the dream repeated itself.

 

Finally she decided to try the tea.

 

Her pain vanished. Encouraged by the results, she continued to take the

medicine every morning. Within a month, she was well, and her regular

doctor told her parents that no trace of her cancer could be found.The

hosts had brought back a bag of the bark as a souvenir.

 

A MAVERICK MEDICO

 

One of the guests at the party was a medical doctor from the nearby town

of Santo Andre, who showed great interest in the bark and begged a

sample.

 

Dr. Orlando dei Santi - the guest left the party early and went directly

to the Municipal Hospital of Santo Andre, another suburb of Sao Paulo,

where he was a resident physician. There, his cancer-stricken brother

lay, near death. The cancer victim had just undergone a second

operation, and his condition had been declared " inoperable and

terminal. " He was beyond Establishment treatment.

 

In the course of his medical studies, dei Santi had been taught the need

to study methodically any empirical remedy, such as those used by Indian

tribes, before even thinking of using it. He had learned that the

medical researcher " must " first try to extract the active part or parts

of the plant claimed to have the therapeutic value.

 

Then the researcher must test the extracts in the laboratory on animals,

and finally on human volunteers. One must patent the drug and get a

respected pharmaceutical manufacturer to produce the resulting pills,

extracts, etc.

 

Only then - once the medicine is on the market - could one consider

using it on a patient. Otherwise, a doctor would be defenseless against

charges of malpractice and face the danger of losing his medical

license. That, of course, is the proper procedure approved by the

medical authorities in Brazil and throughout the rest of the civilized

world.

 

Fortunately for the dying cancer victim in the Santo Andre Municipal

Hospital, his brother was one doctor who decided not to adhere to the

orthodox procedures in this case.

 

Instead, he took the bark, boiled it in white wine, mixed the still-hot

brew with orange juice and let his brother drink the concoction on an

empty stomach. As if by a miracle, the patient's pain disappeared, and

he was able to sleep soundly. After a month of uninterupted treatment

with the brew, he was discharged from the hospital. A thorough

examination had found no trace of cancer remaining.

 

CURE CAUGHT ON

 

After this startling development, the physicians at the Municipal

Hospital of Santo Andre decided to break the rules for the benefit of

other cancer patients, beginning with those of the " terminal " list. This

happened near the end of 1960.

 

Since then, the physicians at the small provincial town hospital have

noticed that the pain suffered by patients with leukemia or other

cancers disappeared within hours after they received the brew made from

the inner bark of pau d'arco roxo. They also found that, within 30 days

of treatment with this medicine, most patients no longer showed any

symptoms of the dread disease.

 

They noticed that many other afflictions from which some of the cancer

patients suffered - such as diabetes - would disappear even more quickly

than the cancer. The physicians were amazed.

 

Since the early 1960s, this bark has been used regularly at the

Municipal Hospital of Santo Andre to treat leukemia as well as numerous

diseases where viruses were suspected as the cause. Both the herb stores

and the " legitimate " pharmacies in Brazil now carry this bark.

 

" O Cruzeiro " (March 18 and 25, 1967), the respected Rio de Janeiro

weekly, published two long, illustrated articles about this remedy and

the Municipal Hospital of Santo Andre, where it is used to cure a host

of diseases. One of the pictures shows a patient's chart at the head of

his bed. Below the patient's name, age, etc is the diagnosis: " cancer of

the lung. " And, further below, in large handwritten letters, the

prescription:

 

Pau d'Arco
