Taheebo - The Miracle Herb

By Clifford H Woods

Taheebo, also known as Lapacho, as it is taken from the Red Lapacho tree’s inner bark, is one of the most beneficial medicinal herbs that you should include in your herbal shelf. Dubbed as a “miracle herb,” Lapacho is commonly prepared as a tea, although there are also a lot of other commercially made formulations of it available in the form of tablets or capsules.

At a glance, Taheebo is enriched with a plethora of vitamins like B-complex, A and C, and packed with minerals, namely calcium, zinc, selenium, chromium, cobalt and magnesium. However, this herb offers bigger things than just vitamins and minerals.

Anti-Viral Benefit:  Taheebo has a long range of medicinal benefits as it is known to have been used for over 1,000 years already, which can be dated back as far as the history of Inca’s descendants – the Callawaya tribe. One of its strongest actions however, is to combat viruses. 

In fact, this herb has exhibited the ability to not only kill simple viruses like the common cold, but also inactivating stronger viral strains like the sarcoma, avian myeloblastosis and polio viruses. Although still at its early experimental stages, this herb has some positive effect against the virus responsible for the dreaded AIDS disease. 

Taheebo has the N and A factors that acts against the RNA/DNA synthesis of viruses. By doing so, viruses are no longer able to self-replicate or harm healthy human cells. Together with Yerbamate, a sulfurous compound present in some plants, the effectiveness of this herb is strengthened further and its side effects are significantly lessened.

Anti-parasitic Properties:  Tropical countries are some of the top users of Taheebo, because some tropical diseases like Trypanosomiasis and Schistomiasis can be countered by taking this herb. These diseases are brought about by parasitic infestation. Although the herb’s exact therapeutic action against parasites is not clearly understood even up to this day, it prevents them from penetrating the mucosal lining of the gastrointestinal tract.

Progress against Cancer:  Taheebo has taken some great strides forward for cancer treatment. The results in some studies have proven to be so remarkable that the National Cancer Institute has got its own hands involved in the action.

However, they have been quite cautious in drawing out conclusive findings, since the herb has led to some side effects as well. Two of the most common reactions are nausea and diarrhea. 
On the other hand, majority of animal researches on the herb have led to some amazing finds for tumor suppression. It has also significantly increased red blood cell production, which is a good therapeutic effect against leukemia. 

Another group of researchers from South America did their tests on actual cancer patients within one month to two years and found that there has been a general cessation of pain and cancer progress among patients on this herb. There was even one case that reported complete remission (cancer-free stage) for a very long time.

Other Therapeutic Benefits:  Especially when ingested orally, Taheebo is said to improve appetite, remove internal toxins and strengthen the immune system in general. With prolonged use, it can also serve as a remedy for arthritis and arteriosclerosis (arteries becoming abnormally hardened). Additional benefits include treatment of skin diseases like psoriasis, fungal infection and eczema.

Boosting Your Immune System the Natural Way

By Clifford H Woods

With so many natural options, it makes no sense to choose drug methods to boost the immune system. Immune System boosters are evident in many foods and supplements. This page discusses the good, the bad and the interesting when talking Immune Systems.

The Immune System: Our body has the capability to keep us in perfect condition, given we take care of the nutritional and physical activity aspects of it. The Immune System is a very intriguing and beneficial defense mechanism that protects us from harmful, dangerous or unhealthy things that enter the body. 

Immune cells detect and eliminate viruses, infections and bacteria present in the body, so as to stop us from getting sick. In full health, a person’s bodily defence can protect from virtually any threatening, foreign intruder. The Immune system has the ability to release antibodies and alerting protective cells of any threat in need of combating and or eliminating.

A Poor Immune System: There are many contributing factors to a poor or effective immune cell performance. These can include stress levels, dietary intake; sleep habits and substances such as steroids. When it comes to food and hydration, it is vitally important, for our Immune System, that we regulate the intake of unhealthy products. 

The food groups that put our natural bodily defence in jeopardy are refined carbohydrates and, especially, sugars. This and/or a lack of fresh fruit and vegetables can have a detrimental affect on the Immune System. Things that hinder the health of the immune cells are called immunosuppressive.

Immune System help: A diet full of vitamins and minerals is essential, as is a good Omega-3 intake, for a healthy Immune System. Minimizing the consumption of refined carbohydrates and sugars can offer immense benefits to the body.
A good sleep pattern is crucial. This allows the systems to re-energize and repair themselves so as to be prepared for future threats. Immune disorders cannot easily be repaired without this necessary restoration time.

With a lack of sleep or poor diet usually comes stress. This is a contributing factor to multiple health conditions and is common in the majority of all humans. Stress creates the inability to rest or relax, forcing the body into overdrive and completely exhausting the Immune System. 

Methods of relaxation such as meditation and yoga can be extremely beneficial in improving immune strength, or an activity like walking or fishing. Breathing exercises will allow the break the body requires to be at optimal health. There are also natural remedies, supplements and vitamins that aide in good functionality and defences of the Immune cells.

Natural Methods Vs Drugs: Natural dietary intake including foods rich in Vitamin C (fruit and vegetables) and Vitamin E (seeds and grains) can be of great benefit to the body. However, with factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol intake or physical inactivity combined with the amount of foods required to reach the ideal level of vitamins and minerals, most people need and/or seek supplementary assistance. 

Immune System boosters like Omega-3, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Garlic and Selenium tablets/capsules, powders or drops and Immune System Boosters such as Taheebo can be used as a safe, naturally beneficial supplement. 

Aiding in the repair of Immune System disorders and offering a healthy maintenance method, natural is definitely the ideal option. There are over 150 drugs available for the treatment of immunity deficiencies and immune disorders. The problem with these is that there is an enhanced possibility of side-effects. These symptoms can vary from muscle aches and pains to a severe reaction such as fever, headaches and malaise, experienced by up to 50 percent of patients.
