Pau d’ Arco
(Natural News)....
Pau d’Arco research:
The wonders of Pau d Arco have been known for years. Dr. Joaquin Almeida Pinto, in the year 1873, wrote, "Pau D'Arco: Medicinal Properties: prescribed as a fever-reducer the bark is used against ulcers, also used for venereal and rheumatic disorders and especially useful for skin disorders, especially eczema, herpes and the mange".
In the late 1960’s Dr. Walter Accorsi of the Municipal Hospital in Santo Andre, Brazil, and Dr. Theodoro Meyer actually proved Pau d’ Arco’s healing ability on viral warts. They recommended Pau d'Arco tea for the treatment of many diseases including all diseases of a viral nature including warts.
Dr. Theodoro Meyer in Argentina tried for decades with little success to convince the medical world of the value of Pau d' Arco for both viral infections and cancer. Fortunately his research was continued by Dr. Mowry, Director of the Mountainwest Institute of Herbal Sciences, in Salt Lake City, Utah. According to Dr. Mowry one of the strongest actions of Lapacho (Pau d’ Arco) is against viruses.
Dr. Mowry further states that the range of viruses inactivated by Lapacho extends from those that cause the common cold to those that are responsible for AIDS. It has been shown to actively inhibit, kill or stunt the growth of several dangerous viruses, including herpes virus hominis types I and II, polio virus, vesicular stomatitis virus, avian myeloblastosis virus, rauscho murine leukemia virus, friend virus, and rous sarcoma virus. Several other viruses are also inhibited as well.
Added health benefits of taking Pau d’ Arco:
Dr. Theodoro Meyer; an award winning botanist from Argentina, died in 1972 after years of frustrating attempts to convince the scientific world of the great value of Pau d'arco.
