Which part of the Paw Paw is best for rampant cell growth?

Cancer, Questions and Answers, , , , , ,

Question:

Hi there, I am thinking about ordering your book but before i do i have a question. Ive been doing some research on paw paw trees being a cancer cure and everything i found was talking about a certain type being the one that cures cancer. The type is the papaya located on the golden coast. I live in southern Illinois where the paw paw strain is asimina triloba. I was wondering if i took the stems and leaves and boiled them for two hours, then extract the liquid and drink it,would it have the same healing properties? To tell you the truth i am boiling the leaves as we speak as my father brought me the leaves today from the woods. Im a 24 year old male and to my knowledge i do not have cancer. However i am all about prevention. Please email me back, this is a subject that has kept me up night and day with frustration because i cant find the answers  I’m looking for. Thank you for your time and i look forward to your response, sincerely, eli.

Answer:

Yes, Asimina triloba is the correct species of Paw Paw that has been shown scientifically to inhibit rampant cell growth. However there are many other factors involved that have been discovered in  over 30 years of research. From my book,  The Paw Paw Program, A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer, Dr. McLaughlin’s videos and the  links below, you will see that not only what part of the correct species is used in critical, as is what time of the year it is harvested and how it is processed. The end product is standardized and tested for efficacy, purity, potency and quality with equipment that very few herbal companies can afford; which is why we have used Nature’s Sunshine products in our health business more than 23 years. Please read these two past posts:

Paw Paw, Graviola and Cordyceps

and
The following chart is from Dr. Jerry McLaughlin’s research slides, showing what concentration in ppm is required from each plant part to achieve a lethal rate of 50% in brine shrimp assays.
Brine Shrimp Lethality and %  Yields from plant parts of Asimina triloba
Plant Part Extracted                 LC50 in ppm      % age yield
Twigs                                       0.042 (0.20-0.09)        1.78
Unripe fruit                               0.060 (0.03-0.08)       5.11
Root wood                                 0.060 (0.03-0.08)         1.27
Seed                                        0.065 (0.03-0.10)     4.03
Stem bark   (7-88 )                     0.077 (0.04-0.12)         2.71
Stem bark  (10-90)                      0.102 (0.06-0.15)          1.96
Root bark                                   0.135 (0.09-0.21)          2.72
Stem, wood, & leaves                 0.202 (0.14-0.31)          1.6
Stem wood                                   4.86 (0.37-11.93)          0.9
Leaves                                        53.6 (33-82)               4.36
From this chart you can see that the leaves require an average of 53.6 ppm to achieve the same effectiveness as only .042 ppm of the twig preparation. The bark of the twigs harvested at their peak, determined by testing, is also a very renewable source of biomass.
Graviola and soursop tea and fruit are fine foods, but have little of the active ingredients s that make Paw Paw, Asimina triloba effective in stopping reproduction of cancer cells.
And yes, I agree that taking Paw Paw as directed for  prevention is a good idea, especially for those with a genetic predisposition to cancer and those who have had previous cancers. Paw Paw is also a very effective anti-parasitical and as parasites are responsible for multiple health issues, a seasonal parasite cleanse is an excellent health regimen. In the US. Paw Paw is part of a 10 day Para Cleanse; in other countries, we often suggest the addition of Paw Paw to Para Pak.

Q&A – Paw Paw vs Graviola, & Cordyceps

Cancer, Immune Tips, Questions and Answers, , , , , , , , ,

Question(s):

Some questions: can I take Paw Paw with Cordyceps Sinensis (1 cap per day bought from HTerra)? What about the recommended dose of Paw Paw per intake for a transplanted kidney patient? (had been 7 years on dialysis and then 8 years since the transplant).
The cholesterol is a bit high and taking Graviola 50 drops 4 times a day (200 drops per day of tincture), it was working pretty good reduction of 50% or more but had a regression (big inflammation of the neck). Can swallow without problem.

Thank you for your help. PZ

Answer(s):

Cordyceps is good for the immune system, therefore I see no contra-indications to use with Paw Paw.  A US formula by NSP called Immune Stimulator contains Cordyceps, Reishi, Maitake and other immune strengthening factors and complements the Paw Paw Program as mentioned in my book:  The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally.

I cannot comment on the company you mentioned, as we have used Nature’s Sunshine Products the last 23 years because of their quality and the results we get. If you are using other products, please do your research; here are some things to check:   7 Tips to Choose Quality Herbs & Supplements.

I do not see a connection between cholesterol and graviola, as lowering cholesterol is not one of the properties for which this herb is known. Perhaps better diet is making positive changes in your cholesterol levels.

As for graviola effects on decreasing rampant cell growth, it is great that you have seen results. If the positive changes have stopped , please refer to this past article comparing Graviola (Brazilia Paw Paw) with Asimina triloba, the Paw Paw species that has had all the research. We recently were fortunate enough to host Dr. Jerry McLaughlin. He presented his thrity years of research, which clearly demonstrates how much more effective Asimina triloba Paw Paw is to Brazilian Paw Paw, or Graviola.

As the Paw Paw extract he developed is the one with all the research and results, this is the one we use. It comes in a capsule form, but for anyone who might have trouble swallowing it , the capsules can be opened and taken as a tea. We have even used it via feeding tube with success in late stage cases.

Concerning dialysis, as explained in my book, Paw Paw we use is self limiting, so take to level of discomfort, nausea or diarrhea and then decrease to comfortable level. Your body will guide you if you listen to it!

Q&A – Recurring Bladder Infections

Bladder and Kidney, Healthy Solutions, Questions and Answers, Success Stories, , , , , , , , , , ,

This was a response to a comment on a previous blog entry on Bladder Infections.  I felt this is a challenge that many women deal with, so deemed it important enough to address in more detail.

Question:

I was at my doctor and I have yet another infection (she didn’t say what it was but sending me to a bladder specialist).  I have been doubling up on my probiotics and taking the Cranberry Buchu for a couple of weeks now but still have it.  The doctor didn’t even offer antibiotics which totally surprised me.
Is there anything else I can try?  Its not a urine infection as there is no urge to pee and it doesn’t hurt or sting…it feels like really bad period cramps and it must be bladder or she wouldn’t be getting me to see the specialist.             CW

Answer:

NOTE: Please contact Lorene directly if links do not work.

In our experience, Cranberry Buchu is excellent for PREVENTING bladder or urinary tract infections, as the Buchu makes the mucous membrane of urethra and bladder lining slippery, so bacteria cannot adhere, and the cranberry acidifies, which you need for the bladder.

I have a female client in her 80’s who suffered bladder infections regularly for over 50 years. Since she cleared up her infection, and takes 1-2 Cranberry Buchu capsules every day as a preventative, she has not had one in over 7 years, so for most people it works. She considers this WELL worth not getting the infections that plagued her for years.

However, I don’t feel this alone will get rid of infection once it is established. Stronger herbals with antibiotic actions, such as Golden Seal Echinacea liquid  or capsules or Silver Guard (also available 4x larger size for less than 3Xs price: used as a douche and internally may be required.

Check out our past blog on Bladder Infections for more tips on prevention.

From the pain you are describing and the fact that you have been referred to a specialist, you may be dealing with a kidney stone, so read this past article on Kidney Stones, a kidney infection or cystitis.

If you wish us to pursue this further, while you are waiting to see the specialist, feel free to set up a consultation, or while you are waiting try a double dosing of either of the Golden Seal-Echinacea. Like most herbal antibiotics, there will be no negative side effects as with chemical antibiotics,and you will likely feel improvement no matter what the diagnosis.

Your probiotics are a good idea for preventative health, and to help re-establish friendly bacteria AFTER chemical antibiotics, but again, they do not necessarily treat an existing infection. Make sure you are taking probiotics on an empty stomach for best effect, and that you keep them either refrigerated or in freezer – depending on how many you take and how long one bottle lasts.

Also, we work with 5 different pro-biotic  and pre-biotic formulas. Three of the most popular are: Bacillus Coagulans , Bifidophilus Flora Force,  or ProBiotic 11. Read benefits of each of these and perhaps  change up whichever one you are using, just to give your body the full range.

Along with the herbs, clean up the diet, eliminate ALL sugar, drink plenty of pure water, (more than your recommended ½ oz. per pound of body weight), add fresh lemon, lime and or Chlorophyll to help alkalinize the blood, and get adequate rest. Many suggestions for healthful lifestyle including diet, stress, exercise and recipes are in my book: The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally.

Paw Paw Program and Chemotherapy – Q&A

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

Question: 

Just wondering what your experience is with the Paw Paw program when someone is also on Chemo?
My client has been told not to take anything but Collatrim. 

Doc says:

Omega 3 is a strong antioxidant and harmful during chemo;
protease has anti platelet effects ?
chinese mineral tonic, flax hull and paw paw increase the risk of bleeding and blood clots which the chemo also does.
They said as soon as chemo is over to get back on any program that is helpful for my health.

Answer:

Open minded oncologists who take any time at all to look at the research will not veto ANY of these supplements. Rather, they should be embracing them for the health of the patient.

Some truth about a couple of the doctor’s comments:

Protease Plus increases the flexibility of red blood cells, not bleeding.

Omega 3s inhibit platelet aggregation, so in very high quantities could cause increased bleeding. Chemotherapy, on the other hand, can damage platelets and thus bleeding, but the dosages of Omegas recommended on Paw Paw program would have little effect.

In more than 8 yrs. of researching Paw Paw I have never seen ONE scientific review to support : “paw paw increase the risk of bleeding and blood clots”.

First, those two effects are contradictory – it either promotes bleeding OR it promotes clotting – not both because they are opposite physiological functions! I hope the doctor didn’t really say this.

Secondly, have your client ask doctor for research to support his statements.  The public NEEDS to help make doctors responsible for their comments and treatments. Especially when results indicate that the medical approach is NOT working as presented by most doctors. It is worthwhile reading  this article about the research presented in the Truth About Cancer Global Quest, which contains this information:

“One of the truths about cancer is that medically approved treatments of surgery, chemo and radiation experience a dismal rate for 5 year survival, averaging 2.1%. Yes 2.1 %!  (stats from US Journal of Oncology).”

Thirdly, have client show him Lorene Benoit’s  book, The Paw Paw Program, or ask him to watch Dr. McLaughlin’s videos, all free on-line, which summarize 30+ yrs. research, and  prove that Paw Paw is not only more effective than many chemotherapeutic agents, but also HELPS chemo to do it job better because of its effects on the MDR pump. This is explained more fully in the book and on some of the videos.

It is unlikely the doctor is aware of any of this research or he would be encouraging the patient to take it concurrently. Doctors that negate supplements do so for the simple reasons that they do not understand them nor have the time to study them. Doctors that DO take the time to look outside the medical box become famous like Deepak Chopra, Andrew Weil, Hugo Rodier, Christian Northrup, Ray Strand….

Make sure your client is familiar with the “Questions to Ask Your Doctor” in my book, The Paw Paw Program; go equipped to get the best care and take control of your own health.

Please refer to this relevant article: Are Vitamins Safe? Who To Believe?

Bottom line:

If there is a safe, natural herb that has proven more effective in killing cancer cells than synthetic chemotherapy, without damaging side effects and without destroying healthy cells or the immune system, PLUS it helps the chemo be more effective, why would I NOT take it, other than because of fear instilled by someone who has done no research on natural healing in general, or specifically on this program?

For another perspective  on cancer  I highly recommend reading “The Medical Mafia” by Dr. Guylaine Lanctot, if you can find the book. The Trilogy of Lies, part Three:  Cancer Is A Mystery, pgs. 145-163 is particularly enlightening. ISBN 0-9644126-0-8

Q & A – Calcium for Osteoporosis and Alendronate (fosamex) – Part 2

Bone Health, Hormones, Questions and Answers, , , , , , , ,

Question:

Hi Lorene, my Doc is insisting I take fosomax  for osteo, do you have a good calcium product that is easy to absorb? and how much per month would it be? I might want to try the calcium way first. Will it constipate me? I am already taking cascara every day.
Cheers L.

 

Answer:

Great question and timing! I just published another post on Osteopenia, Osteoporosis and Bone Health Part 1, so here is Part 2 to answer your questions!

The types of calcium that we use in our practice are not constipating. In fact the one I just posted about, Nature’s Gold, is an excellent fibre source and increases bowel movements. The other ones we use the most are all in a herbal base, which 1) makes them more absorbable, therefore more effective even when the mg. numbers may be lower, and

2) the herbs add nutrients for overall benefit and

3) the herbs prevent constipation, while benefiting the obody overall with other healing properties.

The formulas I use the most are Cal Mag & D and Liquid Cal-Mag. For menopausal women having hot flashes, if Flash Ease does not work on its own, then we add Herbal Calcium.  My suggestion is to read the fact sheets giving you details of each one, (by clicking on the name of each supplement).

I have listed them in order of most common, so you may also just want to order the first one on the list. The cost for Cal Mag Plus D  is: Canada:  $29.50 for 200 tablets;  US: $19.90  for 150 tablets. Recommended dosage is listed on each fact sheet – there is no problem to double or triple this if you need extra calcium.

It is important with all supplements, but especially minerals,  to make sure they break down in normal stomach conditions. Nature’s Sunshine is one of the few companies that tests for this, and because of this we have had excellent results for lowering pH levels, eliminating muscle cramps as well as bone health.

Another post to read will explain to you the importance of Magnesium in any calcium formula. If a person is prone to any kind of cramping, they should take at least additional Magnesium Complex  capsule with each Calcium.

Fosamex is riddled with many side effects.  I encourage you to look into this further and share with your doctor, as well as sharing the positive results we have in increasing bone density in older women with the natural supplementation. Then make your decision.

Consider this statement from http://www.drugwatch.com/fosamax/side-effects/:

“For those taking Fosamax, perhaps the most frustrating side effect is the drug’s propensity to cause fractures of what is one of the strongest bones in the body – the femur. … stress fractures, often happen when patients least expect it. Some patients reported breaking bones while they were doing normal, everyday tasks such as walking or sitting. Merck said the fractures usually come after weeks or months of groin or hip pain. Researchers are still trying to determine why Fosamax is linked to bone breaks, especially in patients taking the drug for five years or longer. Many scientists theorize the drug shuts down the body’s bone-renewing process and creates more brittle bones.

And from  http://www.drugs.com/sfx/fosamax-side-effects.html:

“When Fosamax was introduced in 1995, it was promoted as the solution to osteoporosis and other bone-damaging diseases. Instead, studies show that Fosamax (alendronate) causes a slew of side effects that may be more problematic than osteoporosis itself. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) documented several of the drug’s side effects and subsequently distributed numerous warnings.

Fosamax belongs to the bisphosphonate drug family, which is known to cause many of the drug’s side effects. They range from mild to severe.

According to the drug’s manufacturer, Merck, the most common side effects include gastrointestinal issues, such as nausea, diarrhea, constipation and cramping. It can also cause skin rashes and eye problems.

Why would one risk this when we have safe, natural food nutrition, like Nature’s Gold and good quality Calcium supplements that increase bone density? 

Of course, following lifestyle recommendation as in Lorene’s book:  The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally is recommended to improve ALL health conditions.

Q & A – Silver Gel for gums and safe for long term?

Questions and Answers, Silver

Question:

I am using the Silver Gel; how long before I can expect results? Is it twice a day? How long is it safe to use continuously?
cheers Lucille

Answer:

2 – 3 times a day is good. I have used Silver Shield Gel now for 5 or more years, either eating it,(for sore throat, lung, upset stomach, any infection),  brushing my teeth to prevent decay and improve gum health, as a face moisturizer (anti-oxidant, anti-aging), on any baseball, biking or garden wounds or cuts, for rashes, zits, any skin irritation, my hubby uses it in his nose at night, so he does not get congested and snore, after shaving, in eyes for irritation, so we use it almost daily for a myriad of benefits.

This is one of the best and safest aids you can use. For mouth or gum challenges, remember to try and hold it in mouth six minutes. Tests have shown with 6 minutes exposure it kills up to 600 different pathogenic organisms. Silver Gel does not destroy good bacteria like synthetic antibiotics.

Q&A: GMO foods – Should you have the right to know?

Questions and Answers, , , , ,

Question:

What is your opinion on GMO foods?

Answer:

GMO foods are to be avoided like the plague! Nature makes the perfect foods. Genetic modification only serves to allow seed companies and food producers to control our food supply. As I feel very strongly about food choices affecting our health, I have included this as my First Pillar of Health, in my book: The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally.

As well as extensive dietary recommendations that help people understand how to eat better, balance pH, comments on dairy, sugar, and organic,  some recipes are included.

I don’t want to get political on my website, however having the right to choose to eat healthy food has become somewhat politicized, and it is a definite health issue, so I am making this exception. In many countries of the world people are facing the same issues.

There is huge pressure in both Canada and US by food producers to NOT label GMO foods, or to do it deceptively, so no can be sure whether they are eating real tomatoes, or tomatoes spliced with fish genes.

This is contrast to many European countries that will not even allow GMO food or seeds to cross their borders!

In Canada, Elizabeth May from Green Party, has been working hard to ensure farmers and consumers are protected and well-informed about the food grown and purchased in Canada.

For years the Greens have demanded:

 *   Mandatory labeling for all GE ingredients

*   GE-free food zones

*   Independent research of GE crops and their effects on people

*   A ban on the introduction of new GE products like salmon and alfalfa in Canada

 You can help us win this fight!

 Please take a minute to sign our online petition and then download a copy, collect signatures from people of all ages in your community, and return it postage free to Elizabeth May’s parliamentary office.

Signed paper petitions will be presented to the House of Commons by Elizabeth, to request action from the Government of Canada.

 Thank you for your support, and for creating the change you want to see in Canada.

Ear Infections recurring – specific tips and dosages for children

Ears/Hearing, Immune Tips, Questions and Answers, , , , , , , , ,

Question and Answers in same text:

Hi Lorene,
I would like to send you a very warm thanks for being so responsive to our needs today by sharing your knowledge and products. I connected with M. tonight to receive the herbs for my child. We are so grateful to have an alternative to antibiotics.
We’ve read the information you attached and I have a couple questions I’m wondering if you can help to clarify:
1) Can you confirm that we should mix the Lobelia and CBG (1:5 ratio) and give half the adult dosage internally (J. is 27 lbs)?
Mixing the two is not essential; it just makes it easier for internal administration, as you are just giving one preparation, instead of 2. As I now know Junior’s size, I would do it more as a 1:6 ratio – a little Lobelia goes a long way.
2) When you say internally, do you mean orally? Or do you mean drops in the ear?
Good question – actually both. The oral dose is as I suggested (I copied the original email at end of this one). In the ears, just 2 drops is required. If infection is active, I would administer both via mouth and ear, 3-4 times a day.
Lobelia is also good to apply externally 1-2 drops along the bone behind the ear – rub in direction from top of ear down toward the throat lymphatic glands. This is helpful to stop pain and drain mucous via the lymphatics.
Once infection “seems” better , I would continue 2x/day for at least 1 month, then 1x/day for another 2 months to make sure ALL infection is truly gone, not just in remission to come back stronger.
This is what happens with synthetic antibiotics, with added problem that the strains mutate and often return in a stronger form, so doctors either try another antibiotic or have to do stronger doses to have any effect. This is why ear infections keep re-occurring, eventually leading to ear tubes. Read Hear This About Your Ear: Infections and Tinnitus.
Our goal is to completely eradicate it and return the health of the ear, so he is not susceptible. Be sure to read other NB instructions at end.
3) If the dosage is meant to be taken orally, would it be okay to put it in his smoothie in the morning?
Yes, anyway you can get it into him is fine. Remember that you can add 1 tsp – 1 Tbs. of very hot, almost boiling water to the herbs, and let sit about 1 min. to allow alcohol to evaporate, then add it to juice or whatever. If breastfeeding, some mothers find getting the alcohol out, then squirting it with a dropper into the mouth and immediately follow with the breast also works.
4) I have been adding a natural kids immune booster and probiotics to his smoothies in the mornings. Is it okay to continue these while using the CBG/lobelia?
If they are good formulas, without sweeteners or other chemicals, this should be no problem. I have worked with the 300 formulas, herbs and supplements I know work for the last 24 years, so it is sometimes difficult to comment on other products, as it is impossible to check out the Quality and Potency  on all companies.
And yes, if a good product, probiotics are very important when one has used chemical antibiotics.The one I use with children very successfully is Sunshine Heroes Bifidophilus.
After the icky antibiotics he’s taken, he’s not much of a fan for cooperating anymore:) Thanks once again for your guidance. Warmly, L & D.
I can understand this! So here is one of the most important questions you need to ask:

N.B. What conditions are present that are making him susceptible to the infections?

Does he consume  dairy, sugar or wheat? These are the three prime offenders in all mucous-type infections in children.
It will almost always be something he is exposed to that causes the imbalance and lowers natural immunity, which allows inflammation and sets the stage for bacteria or viruses to live. So start with these three culprits, then if the situation does not improve, look at chemical shampoos or soaps, chlorine in swimming pools, or it could just be the same infection returning. This is why in both natural medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is advised to treat a condition 3  months, plus 1 month for each year the condition has been chronic.
Lastly, I want to offer encouragement: This may seem like a long time, but if it has been recurring already for 3 years, this investment in long term health will be well worth it!
I have had adults with recurring ear infections that have affected their lives for 60 years. In 6 months they are infection free. One man had them so frequently that for several years it prevented surgery to fix a torn ear drum. In 6 months, he was able to have his surgery and get his hearing back!
You can also gain some other tips from past articles on my website blog:

http://www.naturalpathremedies.com/blog/category/healthy-solutions/ears-and-hearing/

From previous email the suggested , general dosages are:
infants, under 20 pounds:             use approx. 1/3 adult dose listed on bottle.
between 20 – 80 pounds weight:  use 1/2 dosage
over 80 lbs:                                        use adult dosage

During acute stage use at least recommended dosage on bottle – up to double or triple. For maintenance, use 1/2 up to full dosage depending on how long condition has been recurring.

Lobelia used to be IN the CBG, but due to Health Canada regulations, it is now sold separately. Once you have both bottles, you can add Lobelia to the CBG bottle, (ratio of 1:5 or 1:6) so you only have to deal with one, and both can be used internally.
Canadian prices for 59 ml (2 oz) bottle: Lobelia $25.00; CBG $39.24 –  I can offer a member discount in many countries, if you contact me.

 

Q & A – Hyperthyroid

Questions and Answers, Thyroid Health, , , ,

Question:

I have quick question about health: I am pretty sure my 1.5 years old daughter has a hyperthyroid. With the researching I’ve been doing online she matches almost everything they talk about… I haven’t taken her to the Doctor about it…. I’m wanting to see if I can’t help it a natural way first. Is there a Nature Sunshine product that you’d recommend for this? Or have you heard of a child this young having hyperthyroidism before?         Thanks Lorene!!!!

Answer:

Unfortunately thyroid problems are on the increase across North America, especially since Fukishima in March, 2011. A recent study released in US states a 28% increase in infant hypothyroidism. Many other reports indicate up to 46% increase in thyroid cancers since Fukishima.

So, yes, infants can have thyroid problems. As for NSP Blue Vervain is excellent for hyperthyroidism and is available through NSP United States. When you come to Canada this summer I also make some products for hyperthyroid, also in liquid form.  Calming is essential so she is not overstimulated. Licorice is a great liquid that will nourish her adrenals and is very calming.

Please let me know if you need some help to get these.

Also, general health, especially concerning diet, as I discuss in my book, The Paw Paw Program  is important, not just for cancer.

 

Please look for upcoming article on Hyperthyroid late summer, 2016.

 

Q & A – effects of T3, Tylenol

Questions and Answers, , , , , ,

Question:

What side affects does taking T3’s have on your body.. I have chronic back pain and been thru so many tests 🙁  its been 3 years now              Rho, BC

Answer:

T3’s are a combination of acetaminophen, codeine, and caffeine. For severe pain, temporary, occasional use may be warranted, but long term use creates havoc on many systems of your body. Some of those are briefly listed here; more details is widely available by doing an internet search Tylenol or T3 side effects.

Nervous system: mental and respiratory depression, stupor, delirium, drowsiness, which can increase risk of falls and hip fractures in the elderly.

Gastro-intestinal system: nausea, vomiting, and constipation have been reported frequently with the use of codeine. If one needs to take these medication, take LBS, a safe herbal laxative in capsule form, or LB, in liquid form, so you do not compound the pain with toxic overload caused by constipation.

Hepatic system: The liver is the organ that takes the brunt with long term use of tylenol and related drugs. Several cases of hepatotoxicity (liver toxin overload)  from chronic acetaminophen therapy at therapeutic doses have been reported despite a lack of And risk factors for toxicity.

In addition, pain killers are not addressing the cause of your pain, and this is what you need to determine if you do not want to become a long term pharmaceutical drug addict.

General health improvements in lifestyle, such as the Four Pillars of Health suggested in Benoit’s book: The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally, can help.

One safe, natural anti-inflammatory, shown to be very effective in clinical studies, is Cure-Q-Min. The concentrated tumeric compounds in this product have shown benefit for joint pain and other inflammatory conditions. The side -effects of Cure-Q-Min? None! In fact, it has been shown to exert such a broad range of beneficial effects on various conditions, supports digestive and liver functions and is a blood tonic, that it has
been referred to as the “pre-clinical cure-all.” Contact our office if you would like to try this.
