Paw Paw Program Upgrade

At Nature’s Sunshine 35th Canadian Health and Herbal Conference, Oct. 2011, I attended an excellent lecture from Jay P. Vanden Heuvel, PhD, ND on natural approaches to cancer. This was an affirming lecture, as everything he mentioned is included in my book, plus some extra helpful tips.

Tick Removal:

This email has been circulating as coming from a nurse who discovered a safe, easy way to remove ticks where they automatically withdraw themselves when you follow her simple instructions.

“Apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball. Cover the tick with the soap-soaked cotton ball and swab it for a few seconds (15-20); the tick will come out on its own and be stuck to the cotton ball when you lift it away.  This technique is much less traumatic for the patient and easy. It works in those places where it’s sometimes difficult to get to with tweezers: between toes, in the middle of a head full of dark hair, etc.”

Some websites do not agree with this, and still feel that needlepointed tweezers that are able to grab the tick right around the neck where the tick has entered the skin, then pulling straight out is the best way to remove.

Political Scene

New information shows that a court order revealed the American company PG and E (BC Hydro’s equivalent) admitted that Smart Meters emit 14000 bursts of radiation per day, or every 6 seconds, up to 190,000 per day. Although actual data might be sent out only a few times a day, radiation is sent out thousands of times in order to keep the meters active and communicating.  This is from one meter in your home, and not including all the surrounding meters. Also, smart meter radiation provides at least 50x more full body radiation exposure than a cell phone, and 100x higher than a level internationally recognized as “Extreme concern”. This information is from the Santa Cruz Public Health authority which has no vested interest other than public health!

Professor Glen Chase can be heard explaining this in exact scientific detail at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXNfMesF3Vo
Could it be that Hydro customers in BC are being misled?!

Vaccines

Please check out this comment by Bonnie, on our website blog, with a cautionary tale on vaccinations:

http://www.naturalpathremedies.com/blog/healthy-solutions/to-immunize-or-not-to-immunize/#comment-5776

We were a family that did not believe in the safety or efficacy of vaccines. Our Vancouver doctor even suggested that we do some research before we decide to vaccinate our daughter. When we moved to Vancouver Island, we were coerced into getting her vaccinated for school, at the  age of 5.

The DPT vaccine changed our previously healthy, happy daughter. She screamed for days, turned a pasty grey colour, her hands and feet were freezing all the time. Once the screaming subsided, she turned emotionally cold, stopped talking and interacting. She actually shrank physically in size and mind. The doctor would not acknowledge a vaccine reaction or submit an adverse report, so we now understand why there are not more reactions reported.

We tried everything for years, including nutrition, play therapy and counseling. Finally at age 12 an Anthroposophical Doctor diagnosed her with Asperger’s-type Autism, and we finally learned how to help her. Improvements were gradual, and she is now fine, however not the outgoing personality before this one vaccine.

Needless to say we have not touched vaccines again for her or any of our family.

Success with Tei Fu Oil

As we were  sunning ourselves on a  beautiful Mexican beach, we saw a woman throw herself off a passing boat, followed shortly by her young son jumping in. As she pulled her gasping self up on the sand, her body green like an iguana, her son said she was ready to die with severe motion sickness. I asked if she would trust me, knowing I was a fellow Canadian, and when she said she’s try anything, I gave her a couple of drops of Tei Fu Oil on her hand to lick off. We repeated this in 10 mins. plus put a drop in each nostril. Within 45 minutes, she was up walking around and felt like she had never been sick. She has suffered from severe motion sickness for years, and said sometimes she will be sick for days afterward. She thanked me for “saving her life.

I am so glad I always carry this tiny first aid kit in a bottle with me, as it has helped many people over the years.

Paw Paw Program Upgrade

Update July, 2023

At Nature’s Sunshine 35th Canadian Health and Herbal Conference, Oct. 2011, I attended an excellent lecture from  Dr. Jay P. VandenHeuvel, PhD, ND on natural approaches to cancer.* This was an affirming lecture, as everything he mentioned is included in my book:  The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally. Based on recent research case studies that he and Dr. Gerry McLaughlin have conducted,  many people experience benefit by the addition of these singles and formula herbs to those presented in my book.

1. Taking Paw Paw (Asimina triloba) every six hours. This means 4 times per day, rather than 3, thus keeping a regular interval of 6 hours. In Dr. VandenHeuvel’s words, “Get the cancer by the throat and don’t let it go.”

Those who have read my book will understand this from my explanation of the exponential growth of abnormally reproducing cells. A little timer can help one accommodate this time frame. This may also mean that dosage can be increased to optimum chemo-therapeutic level. Remember this level is just below where you experience no nausea or other digestive or elimination challenge.

2. Addition of two herbs which I mention in my book: Pau D’Arco (p. 55 or 57)* and E-Tea (Essiac Tea p. 53, 202 or 55, 204)**.

These herbs have been traditionally used in cancer programs and are very effective. For simplicity, I suggest starting on the basic 4 program until you determine your optimum level of Paw Paw. Then based on Dr. VandenHeuvel’s successes, I  encourage these two herbs to be added to the basic 4 of The Paw Paw Program , if one is willing to add to their program.

For simplicity and effectiveness you can open 4-8 capsules Pau D’arco and add to 3 cups hot water; using a quart sealer or thermos if you want it to stay hot. Do the same with capsules of E-Tea. You can prepare each separately, or combine them. Some people prefer to have two different tasting teas to consume throughout the day. Taking them as a tea makes them more easily absorbed, as well helping you have adequate healthy liquid intake throughout the day. They can be used as your drink to take your other herbs.

NB:   As links tend to change over the years, please Contact us,  for personalized, expert assistance in obtaining any of herbs or supplements mentioned on this website. We have worked with one major quality professional herbal source since 1985 and can help you get the best for your health and your money. We offer all clients wholesale pricing. Do you want expertise and support or do you want a no-name, illegal Amazon seller? (Fine for household goods, but for your own health??)

Are you worth the best?

I prefer liquids to be taken at room temperature, and there is no problem with these teas sitting out for 24 hrs. If you do not like the taste of either of these, they can be taken as capsules, if you add at least 1 large cup of water to absorb and activate the herbs, with every dose of capsules.

As per explanations in my book about quality of herbs, the same holds true for both these herbs, as NSP species of Pau D’Arco contains the N-Factors (napthaquinone) and A-Factors (anthraquinones) required to be effective, and NSP E-Tea is the original Essiac formulation properly prepared and tested for potency.

In my consulting experience, many people are taking too many supplements. So I prioritize those that should be added, or suggest these to replace others that may be impotent, poor quality, or contradictory to their overall program. The top two additional choices  for me are Cat’s Claw Combination and Turmeric.

Cat’s Claw/Una de Gato is a traditional herb that has been the Peruvian cancer herb of choice for centuries. Cat’s Claw (CA) /  Una de Gato (US) combination has been combined with Echinacea and Astragalus. This formula cleanses and strengthens the immune, intestinal and structural systems and helps counteract the effects of chemotherapy and radiation by supporting the immune system. It is also an excellent lymphatic system support.

Turmeric Curcumin, is a potent blend of Turmeric (Curcuma longa)  which has been standardized to 95% curcuminoids and Black Pepper (Piper nigrum)for enhanced absorption.

As studies  and research show conclusive positive effects on reversing cancer, turmeric was mentioned  by almost every doctor in all 7  Asian countries in the 2019 Truth About Cancer. Besides anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, turmeric helps improve intestinal microbiome, and can help reduce pain.

Be sure to use one that contains enough curcuminoids, the active ingredient, to help!  We use a standardized concentrate. This means 2 vegi-capsules equal 1.4 pounds of whole turmeric root. For comparison, you might need 50 -200 capsules of regular turmeric capsules to have this potency, or try eating 1.4 pounds per day?!

If you do not have Lorene’s  book, which contains research, complete explanation of the program, references, and essential suggestions on diet, relaxation, recipes, and emotions, Contact Us now to order directly, PLUS receive wholesale pricing and our expertise.

 

*    Dr. Vandenhoeval’s “terminal” kidney CA diagnosis was  over 19 years, as of July, 2023. Good  thing he did not listen to or follow the voodoo hex of the medical prognosis.

Chlorophyll

What is chlorophyll?

Chlorophyll is the green matter in plants referred to as “the blood of plant life” for it closely resembles the red content of the blood of humans.  Dr. Richardson says “drinking chlorophyll is like getting a blood transfusion”.

NOTE: Product links change frequently, with every website update and regulatory upgrade, so please contact us for detailed info on any products mentioned. This will also ensure you get the best products for YOU, 20 = 25% discount, Free Shipping, and discounted consulting rates with herbal, nutritional experts.

Why chlorophyll is useful?

Dr. Theodore Rudolph calls chlorophyll “Green Magic” because it has the ability to break down poisonous carbon dioxide, thereby releasing oxygen which inhibits the action of anaerobic bacteria.  Anaerobic bacteria is a disease producing microorganism living in many human bodies. Scientists have also found that chlorophyll helps to thicken and strengthen the walls of the body cells of living animals and that it promotes the elimination of toxins from the body.

 Reference:  Dr. T. Rudolf: “Chlorophyll: Nature’s Green Magic”

 

Uses of chlorophyll

  • has been used to deodorize ulcerative conditions, including cancer.
  • chronic painful leg ulcers have been healed in six to ten weeks with external   application of concentrated chlorophyll.
  • drops have been used to clear sinusitis, hay fever, rhinitis, otitis media (ear canal).
  • use after dental extraction and oral surgery.  The American Journal of Surgery (October 1943) “the use of chlorophyll liquid has a therapeutic place in acute and chronic suppurative (pus producing ) diseases of the oral cavity.” You can see chlorophyll has a long history as an accepted medical adjunct.
  • prevents tooth decay (swish and swallow).
  • has been used to clear up pyorrhea (infection of the gums) and gingivitis (bleeding  gums).
  • relieves tonsillitis and laryngitis :  gargle every hour with chlorophyll, spit out.  Swallow chlorophyll capsules and take Echinacea/Golden Seal and 1,000 mg natural Vitamin C every hour.
  • chlorophyll is very effective for stomach ulcers taken every two hours.
  • has been used successfully to treat enteritis and colitis :  use two chlorophyll capsules with half a glass of warm water every hour.  This will reduce acid, mucous gas formation and putrefaction in the bowels.
  • aids in blood sugar problems.
  • lubricates ileocecal valve.
  • increases iron in blood.
  • Is a great addition to water, warm or cold, for all ages from infancy to senior, for overall health. It is mentioned as an addition to the cancer aid book The Paw Paw Program. For more information The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally.

For Vaginitis, Trichomones, Leucorrhea, a douche with one capsule chlorophyll  opened into warm distilled water nightly for one week then every second night the  second week, etc., as needed.  Then insert chlorophyll into the vaginal tract.  Include Super Vitamins & Minerals, HRP-C and a bowel cleanser in this program.

For Hemorrhoids liquid chlorophyll can be injected into the rectal area and retained for  fifteen minutes.  Then a pin pricked chlorophyll capsule can be inserted into the rectal area at bed time.  Treat every night for one week, then every second night for the second week and so on.

Arteriosclerosis, High Blood Pressure and Arthritis: about one teaspoon of  chlorophyll in a glass of water 3 – 4 times daily along with chlorophyll capsules will  assist the body to combat hardening of the arteries.

 Athlete’s Foot:  wash the foot with Tea Tree Oil, soap and water.  Dry feet thoroughly. Place feet in basin of 10 parts        warm water and one part liquid chlorophyll.  Soak the feet for thirty minutes.  Spread chlorophyll ointment between the toes and cover with gauze and wrap in a bandage.  Use this treatment every day for two weeks.

For Deodorant:  drink chlorophyll in water daily and soak feet in chlorophyll solution.

As a General Tonic: chlorophyll is a tissue builder, raises iron in blood, increases energy levels, oxygen levels, metabolism and inhibits the action of carcinogens. Use one tablespoon in half a glass of water twice daily.

 Liver :  taking chlorophyll capsules and drinking liquid chlorophyll daily helps to purify the liver, eliminate drug deposits, old toxic material, chemical sprays on foods,  artificial flavoring, coloring and coal tar products.  It helps to get the bile to move      regularly.

Calcium :  chlorophyll helps to control and regulate calcium levels in the blood.

 Bowels :  chlorophyll reduces acid which produces putrefaction and destroys toxins.

Chlorophyll Ointment :  open five chlorophyll capsules to 1/2 bottle of Golden Salve to make an ointment.  Apply generous amount of ointment over the wound.  Cover with gauze, then cellophane.  Change dressing every 48 to 72 hours.  Use for burns,  wound, external ulcers, itching, rectal burning, ivy poisoning, weeping and dry eczema, insect bites, skin infection and impetigo.

 

Testimonials:

  • A 10 year-old girl had an infected hang nail on the toe.  She washed it well using Tea Tree Oil and soap and water. Then opened up a chlorophyll capsule and squeezed it onto the infected area.  The next day the toe was entirely healed.
  • A lady with stomach ulcers drank Chlorophyll and water and herbal combination ULC-R+(formerly HP fighter) to clear up her ulcers.
  • One lady had a problem with anemia and took Chlorophyll.  It took just about one week before it took effect and now she is regaining her energy.
  • One lady had extremely bad menstrual cramps, bloating and heavy bleeding.  She used Calcium, HSN-W, FCSII, Chlorophyll, a cleansing combination and Black Cohosh.  The change was unbelievable.

Q&A Natural Laxatives – a good solution

Question:

Do you have something I can take every day instead of the laxatives I am on? I have been diagnosed with a tortuous bowl, and can not go without laxatives, I am taking senna, or senokot as it’s called, seems I have to wait months for more testing. Let me know………………cheers

 

Answer:

Thank for contacting us with this question. Yes, There are a couple of herbal formulations that would be more effective than senekot, and would also offer longer term  healing. The challenge with senekot is that it is a synthetic compilation of a natural herb called senna. Unfortunately the other additions are all mostly toxic: D&C Yellow No. 10 Aluminum Lake, FD&C Yellow No. 6 Aluminum Lake, lecithin, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, talc, and titanium dioxide.

I would encourage you to look at the full fact sheets on these two herbal combinations, LBS II and BWL BLD (stands for Bowel Build) , then   make a choice. Either will help; the LBS might be better to get things moving if constipation is a problem; the BWL BLD can be better if there is alternating constipation and diarrhea. There is also one very similar to LBS, which is in Liquid extract form LB. Nature’s Sunshine has about 20 formulas to help the bowel function better, so keep in touch until we get the best plan for you. Call our office to order any of these!

For any chronic condition, you will want to follow lifestyle recommendations concerning diet, adequate water intake, exercise and emotions, as explained in Lorene Benoit’s book: The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally

Kidney Stones: Causes, Prevention and Emergency Treatment

Kidney stones can be the cause of great pain and distress.  Symptoms could include pain originating in the middle back and radiating around to the front lower abdominal area.  The urine may contain blood or pus.  There may be nausea and vomiting.  Irritation by the stones may induce an infection in the urinary tract causing fever and chills.  Once a stone starts growing in the kidneys, it continues to grow without any specific symptoms.  The jagged stone travelling down the urethra and scraping the lining causes pain.

 

CAUSES of  KIDNEY STONES

There are several different kinds of kidney stones; if possible, collection and analysis will help determine exact cause. However, they are all due to mineral imbalance of some kind. 80% or more are calcium-oxalate stones, formed by an imbalance of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus (both meat and milk are higher in phosphorus than calcium). An excess of phosphorus displaces the calcium and causes it to precipitate out of solution.  Magnesium helps keep calcium in solution in the body so the calcium does not precipitate to form stones.

Calcium-oxalate stones also form when there is a deficiency of Vitamin B6.  When vitamin B6 is under supplied, the amino acid glycine is improperly utilized and changes into oxalic acid. Omitting foods containing oxalic acid (rhubarb, spinach) does not stop stone formation, as oxalate stones can still be formed even when there is no oxalic acid in the diet.  The problem is the B6 deficiency.

 

DIETARY CONSIDERATIONS

A good supply of Hydrochloric digestive acid (use Protein Digestive Aid or Digestive Enzymes with HCl) is important when consuming meat, to properly digest and absorb minerals, and help prevent stone formation.

Acidic foods like apple cider vinegar (stimulates natural HCl secretion) and pure cranberry juice (can be sweetened with Stevia) help keep calcium in solution by acidifying the urine.

 

PREVENTION FOR KIDNEY STONES

  • Avoid anti-acid preparations.  They create severe magnesium deficiency, causing stones, as well as alkalizing the urine contributing to stone formation. Take digestive aids to prevent the problem.
  • Drink plenty of pure water – about 2 quarts per day – to flush out the kidneys on an on going basis.
  • Two tablets of Magnesium (#1786-6) with one Vitamin B6 tablet (#1626-6) will prevent most stone formation. Take this daily, once stones have been eliminated. These two and either of the following herbs are recommended for maintenance.
  • Hydrangea (#395-6) is a herb used for its solvent properties for kidney stones or gallstones, and gout.  Two capsules per meal for a couple of months may help dissolve existing stones.
  • Uva Ursi (#710-9) is a herb that supports urinary function, treats infections, and has been used to dissolve kidney stones.
  • Cranberry Buchu (#834-5) Cranberry helps acidify the urine and Buchu helps dissolve kidney stones, as well as prevent infection. When taken as a combination,  you have enhanced synergy for better results.
  • Any of the above can be taken as capsules or may be made into a tea (1-2 capsules/cup) a quart or more can be drunk every day.

 

EMERGENCY KIDNEY STONE PROCEDURE

Every 15 minutes drink the juice of one lemon, preferably organic. Take Marshmallow (#440-0), about 4 capsules 4 times a day – it is a mucilaginous, slippery herb and helps the stones to pass with less pain and damage to the urinary tract. It is high in Zinc to promote healing. Also take Hydrangea (#395-6) 3 capsules 4 times a day to help dissolve the stone. Lobelia – internally – .5 ml every ½ – 1 hour as needed, will help relax the ureters, and calm nerves to decrease pain.  Externally – rub a few drops over area for pain and to stop spasms.

Usually this will take no longer than 12 – 14 hours to pass stone(s).  If you urinate through a strainer and can collect the stone(s), it can help to determine to which type you are prone.

Afterwards, Echinacea and  Golden Seal (#835-2 capsules – up to 6/day or #3180-1 liquid – 3ml/day) can be used to aid healing and to help prevent infection in damaged ureters.

Then follow maintenance suggested under “Prevention for Kidneys Stones”. The supplementation to prevent future attacks, especially for Magnesium and B6 is not expensive, especially when one considers the pain and possible damage caused by a stone. Correcting the underlying imbalance with natural aids will also help prevent other chronic conditions and enhance overall health.

The kidneys are essential to life; if you are having challenges, consult a trained herbalist or natural health practitioner to guide you in the healing process.

 Our blog offers ongoing health tips. Articles added since the last newsletter, with a direct link for those you want to read.

Sinus Conditions

Prescription antibiotics, inhalants and OTC decongestant drugs may reduce inflammation and swelling, however they do nothing to promote healing or removal of the cause. Long term use can increase dependency and reduce effectiveness, leading to stronger drugs or surgery.

Cholesterol

Cholesterol is NOT a fat and is necessary for our health, especially hormonal. It is Acetyl Co-Enzyme A.  It just happens to be transported by fats in the bloodstream. This article gives good background to support the idea we have promoted for years – that statin drugs to lower cholesterol have nothing to do with heart health and everything to do with selling more drugs.

Political Scene

Politically incorrect to be forcing this on humanity whether we like it or not. Please share with those who care about kids.

Every Parent Needs to See: 

http://www.buergerwelle.de:8080/helma/twoday/bwnews/stories/3343/

Every person needs to be aware of our increased wi-fi exposure from many sources and the effect it is having, especially on children. More and more school districts in Canada have wisely decided to remove all wi-fi from their schools, due to the proven negative physical and mental health challenges.

Lorene says to watch:
minute 13:00 about safe options used in Collingwood
minute 16:00 reference to Saanich school, Vancouver Island
minute 25: suggestions to make change, by retired principal and resident fighting cell tower installation
Minute 29: explanation of radiation types

Very interesting about children with cardiac arrests, several dying, atrial fibrillation up to increase headaches, lack of concentration and cancer increase.

Silver Sol for Candida triggering food allergies?

Question/from ZR:

Hi I have heard of the effectiveness of silver sol and my ND recommended it for me for candida. With the candida I have some food allergies and when I use silver sol before I eat it triggers  the allergies. I have heard that when you take it after eating the salt in the food decreases the effect, is this true and could you tell me the best time to take it? Thank you.

Answer:

As your ND, whom you have paid well,  recommended this, he or she should be the one telling you how to take it and when. However, I will answer this briefly. With the Nature’s Guard Silver Sol that we use, I feel it it more effective taken on an empty stomach, as it will be more quickly absorbed into the blood for benefit. Taken this way is also more effective for destroying any pathogens in the stomach and intestine.

Research has shown that quality silver sol, with the correct resonance can destroy over 600 types of bacteria, viruses, yeasts and fungi.

For those who use silver as a sinus flush, they should definitely perform this at least 1-2 hrs. apart from saline flush. It is the chemical interaction of salt and silver molecules one wants to avoid. This would mean salt as in NaCl added to food, not natural salts found in food.

If you would like to order good quality Silver Sol or Silver Gel direct from the company we use, with a discount,please contact our office. If you prefer to order directly online at www.naturessunshine.com select country of your choice. Please use sponsor #309344 to open your own account. There is no charge for membership with an order and no obligations.

Healing severe wound with poultice

 

I recently was treated in hospital for a nasty gash to the back of my hand which I sustained while carving a cedar block with a power tool. After the E/R doctor cleaned the wound  thoroughly and stitched it up , he put me on an oral antibiotic. Within a day the hand became very swollen and infected. The doctor then immediately started me on I/V  antibiotic along with the oral and I kept that up for six days and the infection did not improve at all. My good neighbour Lorene Benoit suggested I try some Comfrey to see if it would help. She brought me some Comfrey root which I blended in a food processor, made a tea, which I drank. I took the pulp and mixed it with activated charcoal powder and made a poultice to cover the palm and the back of my hand and then went to bed. I woke up about the hours later and what I noticed made me think it was dream. The bandage wrap around my hand was now loose and the pain was much diminished and the redness was almost all gone. The next day I was taken off the I/V and resumed the oral antibiotic. Lorene also suggested that I start taking probiotics which I did and have had no digestion problems during my recovery. The quick turn around resulting from that simple treatment was nothing short of amazing. Thanks so much Lorene!

Lorene’s notes: Silver Gel was also applied externally, but until the swelling was taken down with poultice, it could not do as much good. To learn more about how to apply herbs for your health, consider attending our Annual Herbal Intensive, July 6-9th, 2012.
