Herbal Anti-Inflammatory
Ingredients
Dionaea Muscipula/Venus Fly Trap: Amazing Healing
Venus Fly Trap is one of the fascinating secrets of the nutraceutical world. In
Germany, a standardized solution of this plant is used in the treatment of chronic
diseases, including most forms of cancer, ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis,
all types of herpes infections, chronic arthritis and almost any immune deficiency
state, including AIDS. In cases of cancer, its proponents claim it works to shrink
solid tumors.
Because it is such an ancient plant, extracting the nitrogen from insects instead
of the soil, its enzymes are highly specialized proteins. These protein enzymes
are capable of digesting pathogenic protein structures, such as those causing chronic
digestive disorders and irregular cellular growth.
Apparently, the highest levels of government and industry are aware of the work
done with Venus Fly Trap. Following the removal of malignant polyps from his colon,
President Ronald Reagan sent to Nordhalben, Germany for an herbal extract to take
as a preventive against his cancer's spread. Thereafter, he drank 30 drops of this
extract, Carnivora, in a glass of purified water or herb tea four times a day, according
to records kept by the extract's German manufacturer.
The ground breaking work on Venus Flytrap was done by Dr. Helmut Keller. He did
the original research at Boston College. He was forced by FDA regulations on cancer
research to return to Germany where he works to this day.
Yucca: Antiseptic & Antiparasitic
Yucca schidigera is a medicinal plant native to Mexico. According to folk medicine,
yucca extracts have anti-arthritic and anti-inflammatory effects. The plant contains
several physiologically active phytochemicals. It is a rich source of steroidal
saponins.
Saponins have diverse biological effects, including anti-protozoal activity. Protozoal
diseases in which part of the life cycle occurs in the gastrointestinal tract respond
to the anti-protozoal activity of the saponins in Yucca.
Yucca powder and yucca extract are used as animal feed additives. Beneficial effects
in livestock and poultry production include: increased growth rate and improved
feed conversion efficiency, reduction in atmospheric ammonia in confinement animal
and poultry facilities, anti-protozoal and nematocidal activity, modification of
ruminal microbe populations, inhibition of Gram-positive bacteria, reductions in
stillbirths in swine, and anti-arthritic activity in horses and dogs.
Yucca products have GRAS status, so are FDA-approved for use in humans.
Yucca saponins are as effective as the drug metronidazole in killing tropozoites
of Giardia lamblia in the intestine (McAllister TA, Annett CB, Cockwill CL, Olson
ME, Yang Y, Cheeke PR: Studies on the use of Yucca schidigera to control giardiasis.
Vet Parasit 2001, 97:85-99.).
Licorice: Soothing & Healing
Licorice Root is known as The Great Harmonizer because of its ability to make all
other herbs work more effectively. Licorice is the second most prescribed herb in
China, where it is suggested for treatment of the spleen, liver and kidney. Rhizomes
in Licorice have a high mucilage content which, when mixed with water or used in
cough drops, soothes irritated mucous membranes. Today, herbal preparations containing
Licorice Root are used to treat stomach and intestinal ulcers, lower acid levels
and coat the stomach wall with a protective gel.
