Guest guest Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 my notes: Pau d'Arco/Tahebo/Lapacho (active ingredient lapachol/beta-lapachone)— “Major US cancer centers are also looking seriously at pao d'arco: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12188909 " www./group/brain-research/message/8615 Indications and Synergism: “I use it with most cancer patients…does not…adversely affect any other cancer treatment that I use [Gammill, 2/10/10]…I always use it with those patients who are using taxol/[taxo derivatives/]yew…synergism†(Gammill, 9/21/04); “[10 yrs ago] we started using pau d'arco...we found ourselves reaching for it more and more. It often seemed to work as a stand alone, it seemed to help most other therapies and hindered none†Gammill, 8/8/08; " pau d'arco...I am always recommending it...The main active component is very soluble in DMSO " Gammill, 11/4/09; may enhance effects of cartilage; very effective w/most cancers and particularly w/leukemia (including child leukemia) and BC; also effective w/myeloma enhances immunity Dosage and administration: “the dosages need to be much higher than those commonly usedâ€; ideally use decoction or tincture (rather than tablets or capsules) ; take w/food; may cause nausea the 1st few days. If you don’t like the taste, try adding lemon juice. “cytotoxic to gliomas: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9398050 ....apoptosis in glioma cells: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15837761†www./group/brain-research/message/8615 Mechanisms of Action: “alterative, antibiotic, anti-fungal…anti-viral…anodyne, analgesic, astringent, parasiticide….contains Lapachol, a quinone…antitumorâ€; “stops mitosis†(Gammill); " I just looked at the chemical components of pau d'arco and I think that it probably does inhibit ATP production. There are a lot of quinones in there...Coenzyme Q10 [CoQ10] would nullify this effect and is likely the target of these exogenous quinones " Mike Golden, D.C. 9/18/08; " lapachol…shown to be effective at killing cancer cells in the presence of a detoxication enzyme called NQO1, which is over-expressed in GBM...Lapachol has been shown to radiosensitize and chemosensitize cancer cells that over-express NQO1 " www./group/brain-research/message/8615 To order, Use good brand, such as Pacific Botanicals (I think Gammill recommends their powdered pau d'arco as of 6/10) www.southernherb.com “reliable, good prices, all from Hanna Kroeger†www.pau-d-arco.com ( DeLongs) www.Princetea.com (good brand; $25/lb; affiliated w/ DeLongs) www.oralchelation.com/taheebo/witch.htm#T4 www.aomega.com/lforce/price.htm (good, economical brand) 909-678-1700 ($10/lb; " well-crafted " , excellent brand) For more info, www.paudarco.com Leonard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
