Pao Pereira
Pao Pereira is a tree from the Amazon
rainforest. The extract seems to effectively suppress the proliferation
of HIV, herpes viruses, cancer and leukemia cells
Effective in preventing prostate cancer and/or reducing PSA levels*.
Used in the treatment of malaria; to boost the immune system. Can be useful in combating Aids and herpes.
Alkaloids from Pao Pereira have the same toxic effect against certain cancer cells; however with no such effect on normal cells.
Pao Pereira also inhibits replication of the Herpes simplex virus genome.
It crosses the blood-brain barrier easily and attaches itself to potential cancer cells.
The alkaloids carry a risk of toxicity only in cases of overdose and have no side effects.
The tincture can be applied to all types of disease involving
immunodeficiency and can be used as a synergistic adjunct therapy
alongside chemo- and radiotherapy in many forms of cancer.
ConstituentsIndole
and beta-carboline
alkaloids: geissospermine, flavopereirine, vellosine, geissoschizoline
(and derivatives, geissoschizoline N4-oxide (2) and
1,2-dehydrogeissoschizoline), pausperadine.
Part used: inner bark.
PharmacologyFlavopereirine
exerts a selective inhibition action on viral HIV infection,
particularly in patients infected by HIV-1; providing a method for the
treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
Shows promise for treating low-grade prostate cancer and preventing the onset of metastatic disease**
and/or reducing the doubling time of PSA levels in men with positive
biopsies; showing relatively low Gleason scores and morphologies
characteristic of non-invasive, slow-progressing prostate cancer.
Dosage
Cancers (used alone or in synergy with chemotherapy or radiation therapy)
Tincture: 2 - 8 ml/day (2 - 8 full droppers per day)
Infusion: 3 - 5 cups/day
Viral diseases (Aids, Herpes, Hepatitis C)
Tincture: 2 - 8 ml/day
Infusion: 3 - 5 cups/day
Side effects and / or interactions
No known side effects; pregnant or lactating women or those taking prescription medications, should consult their doctor.
* Prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a protein produced by cells of the
prostate gland. The PSA test measures the level of PSA in the blood.
** Spread of cancer from one part of the body to another.

Graviola
Graviola Actions: anticancerous, antitumorous, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, hypotensive
Main Uses:
for cancer (all types), as a broad-spectrum internal and external
antimicrobial to treat bacterial and fungal infections, for internal
parasites and worms, for high blood pressure, for depression, stress,
and nervous disorders
Actions Documented by Research:
antibacterial, anticancerous, anticonvulsant, antidepressant,
antifungal, antimalarial, antimutagenic (cellular protector),
antiparasitic, antispasmodic, antitumorous, cardiodepressant, emetic
(causes vomiting), hypotensive (lowers blood pressure), insecticidal,
sedative, uterine stimulant, vasodilator
Actions Documented by Traditional Use:
antiviral, cardiotonic (tones, balances, strengthens the heart),
decongestant, digestive stimulant, febrifuge (reduces fever), nervine
(balances/calms nerves), pediculicide (kills lice), vermifuge (expels
worms)
Cautions: It has cardiodepressant,
vasodilator, and hypotensive (lowers blood pressure) actions. Large
dosages can cause nausea and vomiting. Avoid combining with
ATP-enhancers like CoQ10.
The
Graviola
tree produces a large, edible fruit that and is used in natural
medicine in the tropics (including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit, and
seeds). In its indigenous use, Graviola is taken in different forms for
parasites, fevers, diarrhea, diabetes, as a sedative and heart tonic as
well as for liver problems and arthritis pain.
In 1976 the National Cancer Institute conducted a plant screening program in which
graviola leaves and stem showed active toxicity against cancer cells.
Since that time, Graviola has been the subject of various clinical
research. Research show specific acetogenins in Graviola, and/or
extracts of Graviola, have been reported to be selectively toxic in
vitro to certain types of tumor cells including: lung carcinoma cell
lines; human breast solid tumor lines; prostate adenocarcinoma;
pancreatic carcinoma cell lines; colon adenocarcinoma cell lines; liver
cancer cell lines; human lymphoma cell lines; and multi-drug resistant
human breast adenocarcinoma.
Researchers in Taiwan reported In 2003 one study reported that the main
Graviola acetogenin (annonacin) was highly toxic to ovarian, cervical, breast, bladder and skin cancer cell lines,
saying; “. . . annonacin is a promising anti-cancer agent and worthy of
further animal studies and, we would hope, clinical trials.”
In
March of 2002 researchers in Japan studied various acetogenins found in
several species of plants. On mice inoculated with lung cancer cells:
1/3 received no treatment (control group), 1/3 received a chemotherapy
drug (Adriamycin), and 1/3 received the main Graviola acetogenin. After
two weeks, five of the six in the control group were still alive. The
Adriamycin group showed a 54.6% reduction of tumor mass over the control
group, however half of the animals had died from toxicity.
The mice receiving annonacin were all alive, the tumors were reduced by 57.9%, and without toxicity.
The research group summarized; “This suggested that annonacin was less
toxic in mice. On considering the antitumor activity and toxicity,
annonacin might be used as a lead to develop a potential anticancer
agent.”
Current Practical Graviola Uses
Pharmaceutical
companies and universities continue to research, test, patent, and
attempt to synthesize these chemicals into new chemotherapy drugs. It
has taken researchers ten years to successfully chemically reproduce the
main anti-tumorous chemical in Graviola (annonacin). Now that
scientists are able to recreate this chemical in the laboratory, they
have to change the chemical slightly (without losing any of the
anti-tumorous actions) to become a chemical which can be patented for a
new patented cancer drug, because naturally occurring plant chemicals
cannot be patented.
Currently many health practitioners
and cancer patients are adding natural Graviola leaf and stem as a
complementary therapy to their existing cancer treatments.
Graviola has a long, safe history as a herbal remedy for many
conditions, and research suggests that the anti-tumorous acetogenins are
toxic to only cancer cells and not healthy cells.
Important:
research confirms that these acetogenins also occur in high amounts in
Graviola seeds and roots, however different alkaloid chemicals in the
seeds and roots have shown preliminary in vitro neurotoxic effects.
Therefore, using the seeds and root of Graviola is not recommended at
this time.
The therapuetic dosage of Graviola leaf is reported to be 2-3 grams taken 3-4 times daily.
