Basic Paw Paw Program
Paw Paw (Asimina triloba)– works by these  mechanisms:
  1. The acetogenins in Asimina triloba modulate the production of ATP, the energy supply,  in the mitochondria of abnormal cells. It does not affect ATP production elsewhere.
  2. Decreases blood vessel supply (anti- angiogenesis) to abnormal cells.
  3. Depletes  DNA and RNA necessary for cell reproduction and division to abnormal cells.  #1,2,3 all lead to increased apoptosis, or cancer cell death.
  4. Limits the ATP dependent efflux pump gylcoprotein function, which can cause cancer cells to become chemo resistant (MDR). Therefore Paw Paw can enhance effectiveness of pharmaceutical chemo.
  5. Paw Paw is anti-viral, anti-parasitic, and cleans out the mutant fungal cells.

The Paw Paw Program book explains in more details and why it affects abnormal cells and not healthy cells. This is one of the main advantages over pharmaceutical chemo, which damages ALL cells.

Take with  meals: + see specifics:

Start with 1 capsule – 4X a day, then increase by 1 capsule per day up to tolerance level.  If you experience some nausea or diarrhea, then back down dosage by 1  capsule, to comfortable level. For some people who are very sensitive, 4/day may be too much. You can start more gradually, with 1 per day, 2 next day, up to your optimum chemotherapeutic dosage.

The ideal is to take it roughly every 6 hours to maintain constant inhibition of cells growth. Do the best you can with timing without stressing; some with breakfast, lunch, dinner and one dosage during the night. Sleep is critical for healing, so have capsule(s) ready, and take IF you are awake during night. Food is not necessary.

The dosage every 6 hours is based on research by Dr. Jerry McLaughlin and Dr. Jay Vandenheuvel to ensure a continuous supply of Paw Paw to inhibit abnormal cell reproduction.

Some people have required up to 16  (4 X 4 times/day, some only 4 per day (1 x 4).  Everyone’s body and rampant cell growth is unique – your body will determine correct dosage for you. This is what makes Paw Paw, Asimina triloba one of the only self-regulating, effective and safe chemotherapeutic.

 Super Omega 3  or  Super Oil  (CA only):

Super Omega 3 provides high level DHA and EPA, source of  anti inflammatory prostaglandins; helps maintain healthy cell membranes; plus many other health benefits for nervous, structural and circulatory systems. Super Oil provides a balanced supply of Omega 3,6 and 9s.

Super Omega 3’s:  1- 2X day OR Super Oil: 1-3X day

_______________________________________________________________

The rest of program is best taken separate from meals, on an empty stomach:

1/2 – 1 hr. before meal or 1 1/2 hr. after meal

Protease Plus – enzymes break down chitin (hard protective coating) of cell membrane of abnormal cells to allow Paw Paw and natural immune cells to do their work. Also digests fibrin debris in blood. The ‘plus’ is that besides proteolytic enzymes, Protease also contains a full spectrum of plant-derived trace minerals.

Protease is not being used in the usual way, with meals  to digest food protein, which is why it is be taken between meals for this program.

2-3 capsules / 2 x day between meals, on empty stomach– morning, mid noon, or bedtime.

Note, in US. Protease High Potency is available. It contains 180,000 HUT, versus 60,000 HUT in Protease Plus, so dosage can be reduced to 1 capsule / 2x day between meals.

Chinese Mineral Chi Tonic – provides all trace minerals, plus healing adaptogenic herbs to decrease stress (supports adrenals), build immune system, as well as provide building blocks for enzyme production and healthy cell regeneration and increased energy.

2 T ( 30 ml= 1 oz.)  1-2 X day – can take straight, or mix with water. Can take this with Paw Paw and Super Oil at meals, or some people find it more effective pick me up, energy booster to drink between meals.

*  This basic program of  4 essential herbs, minerals, enzymes and EFAs is less than $200.00 dollars to start, with discounts up to 35% available for continuing orders. We suggest people start with this basic program, and once they are comfortable with this, a personal education session can be helpful to determine specifics needs for each person. It can be very beneficial to book this within 2-3 weeks of starting the basic program, at which time any questions concerning additional support , diet and other treatment options can be discussed.

 

Other additional nutritional aids which can speed healing are discussed in more detail in Paw Paw Program Upgrade:

* Pau D’Arco capsules (Tabebuia heptaphylla): an anti-cancer herb with a long tradition, from South America. This herb has anti-parasitic, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. Also available Liquid TExtract in US.

* E-Tea or Essiac Tea: a traditional North American Native remedy, consisting of slippery elm, burdock, turkey rhubarb and sheep sorrel. These herbs purify blood and reduce inflammation. Nature’s Sunshine has made this formula in an easy to use, more potent capsule form. E-Tea is also a pleasant tasting beverage.

Silver Guard(CA)or Silver Shield (US)– can be used to quickly decrease all microbial load that may be contributing to cancer groth as explained in the Paw Paw Program book. in 1985 Dr. Becker, MD, noted that with sufficient silver ions the body produces stem cells, via “Bredig’s process”. Silver Shield is a potent silver ionic solution that stops growth of almost all microbes, including fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Dr. Pedersen’s Silver protocol is in the book.

Cat’s Claw (CA) /  Una de Gato (US) combination –  Cat’s Claw/Una de Gato is a traditional herb that has been the Peruvian cancer herb of choice for centuries. Includes Echinacea and Astragalus, to cleans and strengthen the immune, intestinal and lymphatic systems; help counteract effects of chemotherapy and radiation.

Zambroza or Thai Go ( 2- 25 ox bottles in US )– one of nature’s strongest anti-oxidants and immune enhancers, contains high dosages of phytonutrients, anti-inflammatory, energy booster. See more on this therapeutic blend below.

2T (1 oz = 30 ml) daily – can be doubled.  Delicious straight, hold in mouth, savour and swallow; or can be mixed with water for a healthful, delicious beverage.

Please refer to the book for  case studies and testimonials from those who have successfully used this basic program, as well as the amazing report on case studies conducted by Dr. Forsythe with terminal cancer patients . Methods of action and properties, based on Dr. Jerry McLaughlin’s extensive research for over 30 years, is included.

This program is designed to be part of a comprehensive program, in conjunction with corrective diet, emotional clearing, appropriate exercise, proper elimination and other natural health and life building aspects. It is suggested that you seek the advice of a qualified natural health care practitioner to assist in the optimal selection of a program for you and to monitor your results. This professional can work with others with whom you choose to share your healing journey. The author is available for consultations via email, Skype or phone.

NOTE: sometimes web links change – please contact us if you encounter a challenge, as we are here to help! 

Basic dietary recommendations are critical for health:

* No sugar and no wheat – In 1931 Otto Warburg received a Nobel Prize for proving that fermentation of sugar causes cancer.

Substitute sugar and wheat with high quality foods that provide healthy protein, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and oils. The only acceptable sweeteners are xylitol, agave and stevia.

Details are extensively covered in the Paw Paw Program, including Food Choices Chapter 6 – Road To Wellness;  Chapter 7 – Food Choices for Optimal Health;  Recipes in Chapter 10 and more interspersed throughout the stories.

In a nutshell, from p. 104: “The basic diet should consist of:

  • vegetables of every colour of the rainbow, raw, steamed, stir fried or baked;
  • sprouted, soaked and ground nuts and seeds;
  • organic animal protein;
  • limited  low glycemic fruit – berries are best choice”

see articles:  Super Anti-Oxidant Foods and Super Foods & Shakes.

Drinking plenty of good liquids is critical. To enhance pure water, drink Chlorophyll ES (US)  / Chlorophyll  (CA) , E-Tea, which is Essiac Tea in a convenient capsule form – instant tea with proven healing abilities or Green Tea Extract – again simply open a capsule and add hot water for high Anti-oxidant health benefits.

Depending on the individual and the specific diagnosis, other supplements may be recommended. Super Food Supplements can offer simple solutions to increase nutrition levels for healing and repair. There are many healthful natural supplements that have been used with cancer effectively; some are listed below, the others in a chapter of the book.

For best effects, please do not add other products that may interfere with the mechanism by which this program has been effective.

This program is not counter-indicated with orthodox medical treatment…

…such as surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. Paw Paw will enhance the effectiveness and decrease the negative side effects of these approaches. The program is designed to enhance the natural healing abilities of your body, rather than ‘fight’ any particular disease.

For an explanation of why Paw Paw should be used if one chooses chemotherapy, please read the author’s  book, The Paw Paw Program,  and/or these 2 Q&A’s : Paw Paw and Chemotherapy and Paw Paw & Chemo & Surgery.

Some clients notice a difference within 1 week. For others, they may not notice anything for more than a month. It depends on you, your body and your cancer. When you commit to this program, it is to your financial benefit to become a member with Benoit Health Education, for both  discounts and support.

Some of the optional suggestions that can be used in conjunction with the Paw Paw Program are briefly listed below. Again, it is best to discuss your program with a qualified natural health practitioner, so all that all aspects of your particular case are taken into account, and so that you are not taking more than you need or conflicting supplements. The following are some that are helpful to anyone that wants to increase overall nutritional status to work with any disease condition.

However, we recommend just starting with the basic program of 4 essential supplements and the diet, then consulting for your specifics.

Chlorophyll ES (US)  / Chlorophyll  (CA) : a pleasant spearmint oil flavoured alfalfa extract to add to water – it is highly nutritious, alkalizing and delicious. No calories, chemicals or sweeteners, very inexpensive.

Astragalus: used extensively in China and recently US and Canada as an adjunct to both medical and natural immune system protocols.

Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans (CA) / Flax Seed Oil with Lignans (US): Health Sciences Institute has an article outlining research for use of concentrated lignan as effective in increasing apoptosis, or mutant cell death. (Ask for article). Effectiveness shown in trials especially with hormonal cancers, such as breast and prostate.

Artemisia Wormwood (Artemisia vulgaris) has been used in Chinese medical institutions for years with success for cancer treatment and as an anti-parasitic. Combined with several other anti-parasitics, and anti-oxidants, including tumeric, ginger, garlic, clove, mugwort and elecampane.

Black Walnut (Juglans nigra) Liquid or capsules: has a long history as destroying parasites, including worms, flukes, ringworm, yeasts, as well as supplying organic iodine for the thyroid. Parasites and cancer cells cannot survive in a body with adequate iodine levels.

Green Tea Extract: proven to contain anti-cancer properties. One capsule makes 1 strong cup of powerful anti-oxidant tea.

Colostrum: contains powerful immune modulators such as immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, leukocytes, cytokines, interleukin-10. The PRPs (Polyproline rich polypeptides) balance an overactive immune system and stimulate and underactive immune system.

Melatonin Extra: a potent anti-oxidant, helps stimulates immune system; may also prevent and slow tumour growth. Melatonin should be taken in evening to help induce sleep.

Zambroza or Thai Go ( 2- 25 oz bottles in US ): proven, by independent lab tests, to be the strongest anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant on the market. Mangosteen, Wolfberry/Gogi Berry, and Sea Buckthorn, have been used for centuries in Asia as remedies for many inflammatory conditions, including circulatory conditions, (inflammation of blood vessels and heart muscle), arthritis (inflammation of joints), fibromyalgia (inflammation of muscles), as a few examples. Also contains green tea, blueberry, 4 different grape parts, raspberry, apple pectin to complete this synergistic formula.

Once cancer is cleared, it is recommended to continue Paw Paw at low daily dose to keep abnormal cell growth controlled, or at least 1- 2 bottles per year at 4 per day. This also helps with parasites, fungus and viruses. For added protection, add the Protease plus. Maintain optimal nutrition!

Q & A: Silver for MRSA?

Questions and Answers, Silver, , , , ,

Question: 

  

Hello I just have a somewhat of a simple question here.
Can colloidal silver be used to treat staph/mrsa infections?

E. Donaldson

 

Answer:

Thanks for contacting us. I cannot say for sure about colloidal silver being able to treat MRSA. But I DO know that the type of Silver Sol that I have used successfully for years does. I fact, in the US, it has FDA approval claiming it can be used for MRSA, MERS and several other big bad microbes. In Canada, it has an NPN designation from Health CA. Niether of these are easy to get without volumes of research to back up the claims.   

This article may help you understand why  and how they are  different.  If you are interested in getting a hold of this valuable protective aid,  at a disocunt, please email me directly @ Lorene@NaturalPathRemedies.com. Thank you.

Q&A : Lung Healer – LH-C for Flu Virus or Colds?

Cold & Flu Tips, Immune Tips, Questions and Answers, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Questions:

Hi Lorene:
1. Would you use this Chinese remedy for a flu virus and/or cold? 

2. How does a person know without a blood test? 

3. Can you use this remedy to build up immunity for winter?

Thanks. L.W.

Answers:

1. Absolutely; I would use LH-C, (US: Lung Support TCM),  dosage 1capsule 3x/day, especially if any illness is affecting the lung area. Also keep in mind Lobelia, (US: Lobelia Essence), if there is coughing or pain. Use .5 ml – 3 – 5 x/day as needed. Lobelia can be applied externally as well, just a couple of drops over lung spots.

See separate write-up on Lobelia, as every household would benefit from having this on hand.

If it was more stomach related, (vomiting, nausea), I would probably tend more toward the Chinese anti-viral formula, HRP-C (2 or 3 – 3x/day for 100 count), (US: VS-C at 1 x 3/day for 30 count TCM), either liquid or capsules. 

2.  I think you know if you are sick. Whether viral or bacterial is not such an issue, as the herbs will help with both, by supporting your body’s natural immune system. Keep in mind that most doctors prescribe antibiotics without doing any blood tests, or if they do test, they prescribe drug(s) BEFORE they get the results. They also prescribe, even if viral is suspected, knowing that the drugs don’t work on viruses; but in this case they may claim it is to treat secondary infections, whether you have them or not.

3.  LH-C definitely helps support and strengthen lungs to prevent most lung challenges, including infection; COPD /emphysema, prevention with broken rib; collapsed lung; respiratory allergies, to name a few.

Dr. Versendaal taught that lungs were 80% of our immune system, so I definitely believe strengthening lungs supports our overall health. This is a particularly good time of the year to work on this, as autumn is the time of year to treat the Metal element to balance lung and colon. I have used LH-C anytime of the year, but now is most effective.

Allergies, asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis

I have so many successes with LH-C, that it is one of my favourite NSP products. A few that come to mind are:

  • I have had it turn around pneumonia that has been resistant to drug based antibiotics for weeks, within 24 hours; allergies and asthma improve, and prevention of recurring lung infections.
  • COPD and asthma – people dependant on chemical puffers and nebulizers have greatly improved their lung function – and decreased their drug dependency – often within weeks, by using LH-C and Lobelia.
  • allergies to pollen, dust, molds – improved by using LH-C and Lobelia

On the emotional side, LH-C is also very helpful for releasing grief.

LH-C and Lobelia, are two herbals I travel with every winter, as this is the time of year, so many people come down with lung related issues. I have several articles about Lobelia, but you can check out multiple uses in #6 on this one: Herbal First Aid.

Please let me know if there is anything else. with which I can help.

To order any of these, please contact me; I can do it for you, or order on any of the product links above. You can also phone toll free, and ask to become a free member for 20-25% discounts with FREE Shipping). Please be sure  Lorene Benoit is your sponsor, Account  #1143615.

Q & A: Female Period Regulation

Hormones, Questions and Answers, , , , , ,
Question:

My 12 year old daughter is needing to have her period regulate – you had suggested Women’s Formula quite a while ago, but she didn’t want to take pills. Now she is ready. How many should she do?

DF

 

Answer:

For a 12 yr. old, I would start with Female Comfort (US) / Women’s Formula (CA) 4/day for 1 month, (2×2) then if not getting desired results , increase to 2 x3, (or 3X2 if this is too difficult timing wise) until regulation starts. Once you have regulation – from 25 – 33 days for one or two months, with a normal flow, then decrease to 4/day. After a few months, 2/day may be effective. Each woman is different.

Whenever there is extreme dysmenorrhea, i.e. pain, cramping, excess bleeding, I suggest starting with 6/day, then once one or 2 periods are better, once can decrease to 4/day.

Some women will take 2-3/day until 1 week before period, then increase to 6/day for  the last week to have a trouble free menses.  FYI: This also works very well for peri-menopause.

Periods should not be painful, exhausting, or  otherwise difficult when hormones are balanced. If her condition does not balance out within a few months, please get back to me, as there are several options and other solutions.

Of course, nutritional diet, good bowel movement, exercise, plenty of water, no sugar, stress reduction; all the things clearly explained in my Paw Paw Program book, are important, no matter what the condition.

Please contact us to help you get the correct formula; (links can change), 20 – 25% discount; Free Shipping, plus our consulting expertise at discount. We will place 1st order for you at no charge.

Update April , 2022:
Please contact us to order.

If supply is limited, it may be due to Quality, or government regulations, such as in CA and AU.  NSP will never compromise on quality by purchasing or producing inferior strength ingredients. Herbs are natural substances and due to nature, active chemicals can vary, in the case of Paw Paw, Asimina triloba, this means levels of several acetogenins. NSP is one of the few companies with capabilities to test to this degree to ensure potency.

The 2019 Truth About Cancer, Asian series by Ty & Charlene Bollinger,  has confirmed that our approach works! Most of the research presented in this series has been in  Lorene Benoit’s book, first published in 2010, and her teaching since 1990. From diet, pH, pleomorphism,  herbs, emotions,  sugar and oxygen connection, cellular energy and so much more – years after book publication- the research continues to support why our program works.  Many of these approaches are available in all Asian countries. One doctor stated: “Medical terrorism is being practiced in North America with the limited options available to patients.”

If Paw Paw is not available, we still follow the Basic Program (minus Paw Paw) and add specifics from the Paw Paw Upgrade.

There may be personal limits  if supply is limited. This limit is to ensure those who need it can get it, and to keep it off illegal online markets such as Amazon and EBay, where there have been serious problems. You may buy clothes or kitchen supplies on Amazon, but trust your health to professionals who can help you!

Paw Paw Cell Reg was out of stock May – Dec, 2018. The shortage was due to quality of the harvest, resulting in lower quantity of active acetogenins. Nature’s Sunshine will NOT compromise on quality.

Cancer, as with any serious health condition, requires a program, not just a pill. It encompasses, diet, lifestyle, emotions, root causes, exercise, elimination, hydration, circulation, mind and belief. These are all explained clearly in my book:   Lorene Benoit’s book to create optimum health: The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally

For other countries:

It is costly for shipping to send Paw Paw Cell Reg; easier option available if you have US friends or relatives visiting. There are other excellent herbs that can be used with the Basic program, and have been used for many years before we had Paw Paw. These are listed in Chapter 2 of my book. Many of them are available through NSP in multiple countries, where Paw Paw Cell Reg is not available.
Some of these are:  Pau D’Arco,  ETea (Essiac),   and Cat’s Claw combo. In fact, many people use them WITH the Paw Paw Program, so we can increase the dosages of these when Paw Paw is not available.

Info on these three formulas can be found in this article: Paw Paw Program Upgrade.

Suggested dosage is 3-4 caps each per day – split 2-3 times/day. The ETea can also be opened and made into a pleasant tasting tea, with which to take the other herbs. The other supplements of Basic Paw Paw program remain the same.

Another important health supplement highly researched and effective for cancer, which was mentioned multiple times  by doctors in 7 out of 7 Asian countries in the 2019 Truth About Cancer, is Turmeric Curcumin with Piper Nigrum.

As studies  and research show conclusive positive effects on reversing 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?!

Contact us if we can be of assistance in your healing journey. 

Tinnitus and blocked middle ear

Ears/Hearing, Questions and Answers, , , , , ,
Question:

Hi there, I have been suffering from tinnitus in one ear for a couple of years but recently an ear examination showed that my middle ear is likely blocked but I have tried everything and nothing has worked, just wondering if you have any ideas?

 

Answer:

A little difficult to answer, as you say you have tried everything and nothing has worked. I do not know if you mean everything doctors or natural health practitioners have suggested?

Has an ear specialist determined if the  middle ear is blocked with wax, mucous,  a  growth,  inflammation, or a physical deformity of the ear bones?  Knowing this could certainly make a difference in treatment options.

A few things I would suggest for any of the first 4 causes are Lobelia and CBG internally.  Lobelia is a de-obstruant, pain reliever and anti- inflammatory, with some natural anti- microbial action.  CBG contains herbs that help break down mucous, as well as fight infection, which may be an underlying cause of inflammation. It could also be help with possible allergic reactions, but again, determining the allergen is important for complete resolution.

You may have some relief with proper ear candling. If one treatment provides some relief, you would benefit from several, using 2 drops of essential oils of Lavender and Tea Tree after each session. If one treatment does not help, you would still feel better from it.

If it is a structural problem, then corrective surgery may be required.

Sorry, but this is all I can offer with the information you have given me. Should you wish more detail, please consider a mini session of 20 minutes, and we may be able to resolve this long term issue.

Natural healing is not a ” here take this pill” fast fix. It is doing detective work to determine the cause and remove this to the solution. Please get in touch  again if you are interested in trying any of the herbs I suggested, as I can get you quality products from the supplier I have used since 1990, at the best prices.

Previous articles under the archives of  Ears and Hearing may help you.

Thank you and all the best.

2 Paw Paw Questions

Cancer, Questions and Answers, , , , , , , ,

Question :

How do I purchase paw paw I can rely on?     Ronan

Answer:

The Paw Paw that has been tested as effective in Dr. McLaughlin’s research is  the bark of the spring twig of species Asimina triloba, and packaged by Nature’s Sunshine Products. The best way to ensure you are getting the real thing is to purchase through a trustworthy NSP practitioner, such as myself, or my fellow practitioners.  This article will give you more details about choosing the best Paw Paw.

WE STRONGLY discourage Amazon!
Besides being illegal for Nature’s Sunshine products to be sold on Amazon, we have seen items open, expired, re-labelled or otherwise altered when clients purchase from Amazon! NSP has a compliance department that shuts down Amazon sellers, but new ones pop up.

NSP cannot stand behind the quality of any products sold via Amazon.
Amazon is an electronic garage sale NOT to be used on herbs/proteins/supplements that you ingest. You are dealing with your health, not a gadget and you deserve better.

We look forward to working with you on this very important journey. Obviously we prefer that you  contact us to order, so we can also offer you knowledgable support on your journey, as well as ensuring you get the wholesale discounted price.

A good place to start is reading Lorene’s Paw Paw Program page and articles on her Research Blog under Cancer Archives.

Question:

What can I use instead of Paw Paw,  if it is out of stock?     many people asked

Answer:

Paw Paw is now available again since Dec 4, 2018 . Please contact us to order.

Approved sources were out of stock since May. The shortage was due to quality of the recent harvest, drying and standardizing of active acetogenins. Nature’s Sunshine will NOT compromise on quality.

We have other excellent herbs that can be used with the program, and have been used for many years before we had Paw Paw. Some of these are:  Pau D’Arco,  ETea (Essiac),   and Cat’s Claw combo. In fact, many people use them WITH the Paw Paw Program, so we increase the dosages of these until Paw Paw is available.

A bit of info on these three formulas can be found in this article:

Suggested dosage is 3-4 caps each per day – split 2-3 times/day. The ETea can also be opened and made into a pleasant tasting tea, with which to take the other herbs. The other supplements of Basic Paw Paw program remain the same.
The other components of the program, diet, lifestyle, emotions, root causes, as in my book, are all as important:   Lorene Benoit’s book to create optimum health: The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally

Q & A: Excema – Back to Health Basics

Healthy Solutions, Questions and Answers, Skin Health, , , , , ,

Question:

Good morning,  I hope all is well for you!
What do we have that would be great for eczema? I have someone inquiring.
Much love , JS

Answer:

I have a couple of articles on my website, which I have copied direct links to, below. I did a search for excema, in top Right hand corner search bar.  You will see from these that different approaches were used – all with success, so it definitely depends on the person, their particular cause(s), their diet, level of stress, etc. Sorry there is not one simple answer, like “take this pill”. That’s how drugs are used, not natural healing, as you know.

 

Skin conditions are an external reflection of what’s going on internally.
You can begin to positively affect most health conditions by addressing the basics of digestion, assimilation and elimination. Once those are working better, and healthy dietary habits, such as those listed in my book are implemented, better health follows. The optimum dietary recommendations suggested in my Paw Paw Program that are used for cancer are the same dietary suggestions for health.

Digestion and Assimilation:

  • enzymes – either Digestive Enzymes (Food Enzymes – US)  or Garden Essence (Proactazyme – US). Both of these are full spectrum, meaning they digest proteins, starches, fats, cellulose, etc.
  • Probiotoic 11 .  Contains eleven strains to promote healthy gut  micro-biome.

Elimination:

  • making sure one has 2-3 healthy bowel movements per day. This may mean using a formula such as Bowel Build on a daily basis for several months. With a  good bowel building and toning product,  as your bowel gets healthier, you need less of it.
  • cleansing is always important.  Three of the best suited cleanses to choose from are : Clean Start, Detox Basics or Tiao He Pak. 

 

Topically, for relief of pain and itching, as well as to promote healing, I would also consider adding an Essential Oil blend, such as Core or Refuge to either Silver Gel, Pau D’Arco Lotion Nature’s Fresh Enzyme Spray or Aloe Vera Gel. Sorry to give you so many choices, but different strokes for different folks.

Q & A: Ringworm, molluscum and other skin conditions

Immune Tips, Questions and Answers, Skin Health, , , , , , ,

This is a series of emails between a client and Lorene, which might be helpful to others. My responses are in italics.

It may seem frustrating to use different herbs for different conditions, but when compared to the number of multiple drugs, all with very negative side effects, this is really simple.

Our family has used all of these herbal remedies with amazing results over the last 35 years. By results I mean faster resolution, less expensive and no side negative effects than a medical prescriptive route. A few examples of successes can be found under Success Stories.

There ARE frequently positive side effects, such as a remedy effecting a benefit not being treated. Two examples:

  • using black walnut for ringworm, also helps to support the thyroid and strengthen tooth enamel.
  • using an herbal formula to help allergies and lungs will often help a sluggish colon.

June 9th: Hi Lorene,
Our family is now  living in Texas . It is pretty interesting. One of the things about living here is that the kids have gotten lots of different skin stuff that we never had in Canada. Right now my middle son has something called Molluscum Contagiosum. It is smallish white bumps on his left leg that spread and can last for a long time- they are from a virus kind of like planters warts etc. I have tried a couple different topical treatments, but nothing is getting it from its source.

I remembered that when I was in high school, (editor’s note- about 20+ yrs. ago),   I had really bad planters warts on my feet and you had given me 2 different things to take- I think one was beta carotene? And I can’t remember the other. Can you recommend something for me to try with him? I really really appreciate it!
Thankyou so much!    JH

June 10: I treated a 3 yrs. old girl with mulluscum , and yes, it is a virus. At that time I treated them by poking them with a sterilized pin (tea tree oil)  to penetrate the little white bumps, then applying tea tree oil to them. Depends on nature of your son, whether he will let you do this or not. That would be an external application.

 

Internally, your memory serves you well – it was Beta Carotene – strongest NSP product with beta carotene is now Defence Maintenance. At one time we had a straight Beta carotene, but not anymore – I think it was stopped by FDA, probably because it was too effective; certainly no safety issues!

 

The other product would have been HRP-C (for HeRPes),  which  in the US is called VS-C  (for ViruS)- concentrate capsules which can be opened, or VS-C liquid. This can be taken internally, but the liquid could also be applied externally, but it’s a little sticky.

You can order as a new member in US – free- please use account # 1143667 and become a CLASSIC member. Or I can order for you using our account. As it can seem complicated  for first time order, just let me know what, your new address, ph# etc. I can phone & get your details of payment & place first order for you; no charge.
Let me know one way or other, OK? Lorene
 

Jun 12: Hi Lorene,
Thank you for getting back to me! I just ordered the liquid VS-C and hopefully with tea tree that will help. I’ve tried a bunch of other stuff, and it has helped some but new ones keep popping up, he also has some staph infection happening as well- and just got over some nasty impetigo, I was getting pretty desperate so just got him some antibiotics… I don’t think he has ever been on antibiotics before. We might have to come see you when we are on the island!
Lots of love, JH

 

Jun 15: OK keep in touch to know how the VS-C works . 
Golden Seal  (Hydrastis canadensis) is one of the best antibiotics – which I save for heavy duty infections, as it is an endangered species.  For staph,  Oregon Grape (Mahonia aquifolium) is a specific and VERY effective, and it is not endangered.  Golden Seal is available from US as a single in capsules – the strongest form. 

 

Jun 18: Thank you for the tips! That’s good to know about the Oregon grape. I didn’t end up using the antibiotics for him, just waited a couple days and it looked like it turned into Pityriasis rosea
Or something similar, which he had last summer and was misdiagnosed as ringworm. Just this time it looked kind of different so the doctor I think didn’t know what it was. Hopefully the VS-C can take care of both the moluscum & pityriasis.
Thanks again for your insights and help.

 

Jun 18: Skin conditions are obviously hard for many doctors. I have had ringworm mis-diagnosed TWICE . The 2nd time they wanted to operate! I often find my answers upon waking, so it must come in my dreams, so once I figured it was ringworm, I applied Black Walnut liquid externally and took it internally. Something I had endured for months (on my scalp – I think from Bali) was gone in less than 2 wks.

Q & A: Bladder, Bowel, and cramping

Bladder and Kidney, Colon/Cleansing, Questions and Answers, , , , , , , ,

Question(s):

Hello there….re products
 1- bwl -bld  –looks like it may cover bladder ?(bld) as well as bwl, but nothing mentioned.
2 – what do you suggest for
           a)trigger finger and for
           b) leg cramps beside lots of h2o and exercise. There is an Amish apple cider vinegar  product ( only from USA) and a homeo product in stores here.
 Thanks,  Bette

Answer(s):

BWL BLD – stands for Bowel Build.  Having the bowels work properly and be clean does have an effect on the bladder, but this formula really has nothing to do with bladder (good guess, tho’).
Cornsilk is good for bladder incontinence; Cranberry Buchu good for treatment & prevention of bladder infections; Uva Ursi good for toning and tightening, bladder cystitis.
You will find other helpful articles about Bladder in the archives. Many topics are listed down the right hand side of my website research blog.

 
For both trigger finger and leg cramps, one may need more Magnesium. I work with 3 types, Magnesium tablets, Magnesium Complex and Magnesium Malate. For this challenge, most people find that Magnesium tablets work best.
 
Apple cider vinegar is a good source of some minerals, especially Potassium, which can be good for cramps and spasms. Rather than ordering from the US, you may find just adding 1-3 Tsp. (5-15 ml.) pure, unpasteurized apple cidre vinegar to 1 cup room temperature or warm water and take your Magnesium, plus 1 Calcium Magnesium if needed,  with this. If this does not bring needed relief, please contact  me; there are other options. But I always like to start with the simplest first. 
 
Hope this helps Bette. Congratulations on having taken a proactive approach to natural health. Along the way you have helped many others. You have been a loyal Nature’s Sunshine user since the early 90’s and still going strong at a good, old age! Keep it up.
