Q&A: Paw Paw and Contra-Indicated Medications and Supplements

Cancer, Questions and Answers, Thyroid Health, , , , , , , , ,

Question:

Can you take the paw paw if you are taking thyroid medicine?  Pat L.

Answer:

I do not focus on a lot of contraindications for the Paw Paw program. And, to be clear, I refer to the only to the Asimina triloba species of Paw Paw, as this is the plant with the research and results.  There are some websites which list herbs one must not take with Paw Paw. These websites do not return emails or calls requesting research or even  explanations for their statements. If they do not or cannot back up their statements with research, I don’t pay much attention.

As mentioned in my book,  The Paw Paw Program, thyroid “stimulators” are not recommended when following a program using Paw Paw. This may be based on statements similar to one by Dr. Duarte, October, 2008: “You shouldn’t take thyroid stimulators as well, things like 7-Keto or DHEA. These tend to stimulate thyroxin production.”

Understanding the mechanism of action of Paw Paw, we do not want to intentionally stimulate the thyroid when on the Paw Paw program.

HOWEVER, if someone is taking synthroid,  natural porcine thyroid prescription, or a herbal supplement for hypothyroidism, they need to stay on this, to help maintain  normal thyroid function critical for overall health, so one cannot just stop. If the thyroid is removed or destroyed by radioactive treatments, some form of thyroid supplementation is essential for life. This is different than taking high doses of thyroid stimulating herbs, when not needed.

Even if one is taking these thyroid medications or herbs, the benefits from the Paw Paw program still outweigh other options, such as toxic chemotherapy.

Most other supplements are fine, but please be sure to do FIRST the basic 4 as listed in the program in Benoit’s book, rather than too many others that may not enhance the overall effect. Once one is comfortable with the basic 4 components of the program, Paw Paw, Minerals, Omegas and Enzymes, then other herbs may be added to increase overall immunity or to address specific concerns and to ensure optimal functioning of all body systems. Some of those most recommended are in a past article Paw Paw Program Upgrade. Two of these include, Essiac Tea Concentrate and Pau D’Arco. Remember, cancer is not just a lump or tumor;  it is a reflection of the overall health of the entire body functioning as a unit, with optimization of the immune system.

Buying “Paw Paw Cell Reg” from Amazon is NOT advisable under ANY circumstances–even if it appears to be the same product. We have heard reports of tampered product, outdated product, or even fake product. In the words of one communication from the manufacturer–when you buy from Amazon, Ebay, and the like, you are essentially buying from an electronic yard sale.

“If you’ve had a bad experience in the past, one of the things that will help you to ask yourself, “If the same circumstance were presented to me today with this awareness, would I do exactly the same thing?” Absolutely not. With this awareness you would respond to a condition differently. The only way you got this awareness is because of what happened in your past. Pasts are reverent, thankful, kind. Practice kindness to the parts of you that brought you to here.

CoQ10 – crystal free liposomal research

Cancer, Heart Health, Immune Tips, , , , , , , , , , , ,

After 40 Years of Research Dr Judy Reveals the  Benefits of Crystal Free CoQ10

for Heart, Parkinson’s,  Immunity, and Anti-Aging

 

Most people seek a supplement that will offer anti-aging and immune boosting. In the search for that one well researched vitamin,  we just learned about how the new CoQ10 may be one of your solutions.

CoQ10 is one product that benefits the entire body by increasing energy production. It specifically targets the  the heart,  nerves, lungs and muscles. Everyone has heard of the benefits of CoQ10 and you may already be taking it.  Dr. Judy is the world’s foremost authority and we were fortunate to hear his presentation at our 2012 Health Convention in Toronto.

He  documented scientific evidence shows that the new SIBR Research Crystal Free CoQ10, developed as a result of his 40 years of research, is at least 6 times more powerful and up to 800% more absorbable than crystal CoQ10 that is generally on the market.  67 generations of studies were required to develop this product and Nature’s Sunshine is the only easily accessible company in the world that carries this new highly absorptive CoQ10 product.

CoQ10 is a vitamin like substance found in all living organisms in nature. It was discovered by Fredrick Crane at the Enzyme Research Center at the U of Wisconsin. It was isolated from beef heart mitochondria which are the energy producing organelle of each body cell. In 1958 the chemical structure of CoQ10 was defined by Dr Karl Folkers. A Nobel Prize was awarded to Sir Peter Mitchell in 1978 for his work on how the cell makes energy and the essential role of CoQ10 in this process.

There are three functions and three forms of CoQ10 in nature: Ubiquinone,  Semi-ubiquinone and Ubiquinol.

This new SIBR Reserach CoQ10 is highly absorbable due to its tri-lipid crystal free formulation, which is made from all natural products.Because the body cannot absorb a crystal, this accounts for the higher absorption levels, again up to 800% better.

CoQ10 is not absorbed in the blood stream as it is too large and lipophilic (dissolved in fats). It is absorbed in the small intestine and diffuses into the lymph vessels and is then transported to the blood stream via the subclavian vein.

Concerning CoQ10 levels in humans, there are 3 distinct groups of people:

1) Groups having normal CoQ10 levels = 75% of the population. At age 65, as CoQ10 declines naturally,  this group begins to have low energy and increasing illness.

2) Groups with low levels of CoQ10 = 15%  of the population. This group always appears to be frail and are known to harbour early onset of diseases.

3) Groups with high levels of CoQ10 = 10% of the population. This group age slowly, have late onset of diseases and experience  infrequent age related degenerative conditions. Therefore CoQ10 is an excellent anti-aging product.

Dr. Judy found that CoQ10 deficiencies are proportional  to the severity of  disease. With supplementation of SIBR Research Crystal Free CoQ10, these diseases will reduce and can in many cases reverse the normal course of the disease. Clinical effectiveness of CoQ10 has been proven in:

  • Low energy – 6 fold increase in energy using Crystal Free CoQ10 at  lower dosages than the common crystal CoQ10.
  • Congestive heart failures (CHF) – in Japan CoQ10 was listed as a drug and 12 million people were using it.  After it was declared a natural product, 34 million people were using it. It was clinically shown to reduce the severity of CHF from Class 4 to Class 1 within a year with a dose of 150 mg a day.
  • Hypertension – SIBR Research Crystal Free Co Q10 is the vitamin that provides energy to the smooth muscles in the vascular system. As little as 100mg/day resulted in significant reductions of both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, without the addition of hypertensive drugs.  This is great news as blood pressure medications , along with their long list of side effects, were reduced significantly and even discontinued in clinical studies.
  • Parkinson’s studies were done in 2006 in early onset Parkinson. With as little as 250 mg a day “we have been able to stop the progression of Parkinson and almost completely arrest the development of the disease through six years. In older, more severe patients, we have been able to stop the progression, increase the physical ability and improve the mental capacity in many of these elderly patients. ….These responses do not come overnight but  take several months to be fully manifested.” In summary,  a study from 1968-2009 stated: ” In well established Parkinson’s disease patients, the effectiveness of using the old CoQ10 dry powder products was no better than that of a placebo. In studies using the new High Absorption CoQ10, the effectiveness of the CoQ10 is much improved due to the better absorption and higher blood levels of CoQ10. “
  • Muscle ataxia is a disease of the muscles having their origins in the central nervous system. “When these patients are supplemented with SIBR Research Crystal Free CoQ10 they regain the tone and strength in their legs. They again have the strength to stand and to walk. Again this response is not fast, but takes several months to be manifested. This appears to be related to the times it takes to build up the peripheral and brain CoQ10 levels in order to build up the skeletal muscle mitochondria and to recondition the skeletal muscles.”
  • Immunity Studies done in the 70’s and 80’s found that people with low immunity also had a low count of CoQ10. Energy is essential for the body cells to make immune system elements. SIBR Research Crystal Free CoQ10 stimulates the synthesis of T cells cytotoxins that the body injects into cancer cells and prevents them from developing.
  • Cancers have become the major cause of death in the Canadian population. The estimated number of deaths due to cancer this year is estimated to be 75, 700 .In the 1980’s studies indicated that SIBR Research Crystal Free CoQ10 would stop the growth of  leukemia, virus, tumours. A specific cancer research study discovered that there was a specific protein called g-protein that is essential for the synthesis of CoQ10. In the stem cell line of animals the g protein was able to stop the growth of cancers cells.” Some companies tried to make the g- proteins synthetically to be used as a chemotherapy to control cancer growths. They have failed and made nothing but a good rat poison. This g-protein is the “grandfather” of CoQ10. Thus when a cancer patient takes SIBR Research Crystal Free CoQ10 it is broken down to the g-protein in the liver and then circulated through the body thus stopping the growth of cancer cells. 87% of cancer patients have low plasma CoQ10. Cancers are infrequent in populations with high CoQ10. CoQ10 has been shown to stop the growth of cancer cells in animals and man. CoQ10 is broken down in the liver to a G-protein which stops and prevents the growth of cancer cells. CoQ10 is used in Europe and other parts of the world as a means of preventing adverse side effects of chemo and radiation therapy for the treatment of cancers. Many of the patients using CoQ10 do not have nausea, arrhythmia, fatigue, weight loss or hair loss associated with chemo or radiation therapy.                                                                                                                                                                                **Note 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, CoQ10 is not indicated for cancer programs at the same time as taking Paw Paw, due to their opposing actions on the ATP cycle. One can alternate a program of Paw Paw and CoQ10; ask your natural health practitioner about this option.
  • Statin drugs – cholesterol lowering Statin drugs are supposed to carry a warning that if they have low energy, fatigue, muscle cramps or heart failure, one should take CoQ10 and see your physician. Adverse affects of statin drugs  limit quality of life and survival as they deplete CoQ10.
  • Cardiac arrhythmia – poorly absorbed CoQ10 reduced arrhythmia by about 1/3. A study done in 2010 showed that the new crystal free CoQ10 can reduced the arrhythmia almost completely.
  • Surgical recoveries – hospital stays were shortened by as much as 1/2 and recovery time lessened after heart bypass surgeries with the addition of the crystal free tri-liposomal C0Q10

Dr. William Judy says that for any system on the body to function properly energy is required. This includes heart, lung, kidney, liver, brain, sensory, gastrointestinal, reproductive, endocrine, immune,  lymphatic and blood production  functions. Without energy they will break down with resulting illness and death. “SIBR Research Crystal Free CoQ10 is required to synthesize energy and help the patient return to health.”

He further states, “Our bodies are bombarded daily with environmental pollutants, superoxides and free radicals that stress our body and cause inflammatory processes to occur.”  Inflammation and how this relates to ALL diseases, including diabetes, alzheimer’s, arthritis, and most chronic degenerative conditions as explained in The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally,

“By its role as a potent antioxidant crystal free tri-liposomal C0Q10 can protect the body from these stressors.  Supplementing with SIBR Research new CoQ10 will protect patients from any illnesses caused by pollutants including bacteria, and viruses, superoxides  and free radicals.”
