Pau D’arco – The Natural AntiBiotic
… received a lot of medical and scientific attention in the 60s. The Brazilian press published sensational stories about it, and claims about a “miraculous cancer cure” started to spread. This attracted researchers from all over to world to investigate what was so special about this Amazonian tree and its extracts.
Contains:
– Iron
– Calcium
– Selenium
– Vitamins A, B-complex and C
– Magnesium
– Potassium
– Sodium
Antimicrobial properties of many of Pau d’Arco’s other active phytochemicals were demonstrated in several laboratory studies, in which they exhibited strong in vitro activity against bacteria, fungi, and yeast (including Candida, Aspergillus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Helicobacter pylori, Brucella, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and dysentery).
In other in vitro clinical research an extract of the bark was shown to have strong activity against 11 fungal and yeast strains. Pau d’Arco and its chemicals also have demonstrated in vitro antiviral properties against various viruses, including Herpes I and II, influenza, polio virus, and vesicular stomatitis virus.
It even attracted the attention of the United States National Cancer Institute whose job it would have been to find some sort of altercation or toxicity in order to discredit natures safe ways of combatting disease without the help of pharmaceutical companies.
17 Benefits of Pau De Arco – Taheebo
1) Cancer
Scientists then discovered that Pau D’arco has two main cancer-fighting and active compounds – lapachol and beta-lapachone – named after the traditional preparation.
These compounds may:
– Block DNA-repair pathways that help tumors survive, make them more vulnerable to attacks (via NQO1) and ultimately trigger their death.
– Block a crucial cancer protein in lymphomas, possibly helping protect against their spreading.
– Boost the activity of various cancer-fighting genes and factors.
– Its derivatives can target the mitochondria and increase reactive oxygen species in cancer cells, helping to degrade them.
Beta-lapachone, however, has one major downside: it‘s not absorbed well from the gut and is active only for a short time. Therefore it’s recommended to hold the liquid in the mouth orally for a few minutes.
2) Weight Loss
It seemed to prevent fat accumulation and weight gain, even though the mice were deprived of the protective effects of estrogen.
Mice fed a high-fat diet and Taheebo still lost weight and had reduced liver fat, cholesterol, insulin, and leptin. Taheebo activated fat-burning pathways in mice on the DNA level.
3) Pain
There are reports of Pau D’arco as an anti-inflammatory and painkiller, especially for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Taheebo extracts reduced both pain and overall inflammation by 30 – 50% in mice.
The extract could safely improve osteoarthritis in mice and lower inflammatory substances. In immune cells, it was able to reduce the chief driver of inflammation, NF-kB.
Beta-lapachone reduced inflammation and protected brain cells. It acted as an oxidant to neutralize reactive oxygen species and blocked inflammation on a DNA level.
4) Allergies
As an added benefit to its anti-inflammatory effects, Pau D’arco may also reduce allergies.
5) Brain Protection
Beta-lapachone improved symptoms in mice with Huntington’s disease. It could activate genes that help reverse many chronic diseases (SIRT1). It also protected the body’s energy powerhouse – mitochondria, which could support brain function even in healthy mice.
6) Fights bad Bacteria Yeast and Fungus
This is perhaps the most common traditional indication for Pau D’arco. Pau D’arco extracts could kill one of the most prevalent bacteria today that commonly causes stomach ulcers, Helicobacter pylori, in test tubes. Its many active components worked as well as the standard antibiotics.
Taheebo stopped the growth and spreading of 10 different strains of gut bacteria in the lab. It was active even against bacteria that can cause serious symptoms in humans. Importantly, Taheebo did not harm bacteria that are part of the normal healthy gut flora, such as various Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus strains.
7) Antioxidant
Beta-lapachone increased phase II antioxidant enzymes (via AMPK) and antioxidant gene expression in brain cells. Beta-lapochone may boost our protective, detox pathways.
8) Anti Aging
Can prevent age-related decline of the muscles and brain. It can increase energy use, the activity of energy metabolism genes, and protected the mitochondria.
Pau D’arco boosts NAD+, the “molecule of youth“ based in the mitochondria.

Dosage:
Suggested dosage of liquid extracts:
Take 1-2 ml (28-56 drops) 1 to 2 times daily as needed, or as advised by your doctor or therapist. Take with water.

I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, health is simple, be healthy and consume healthy things and health will be your reward!
Don’t look for a “cure” this is a deep state distraction, as it implies a single thing can do the job of a whole system of health, always have a plan, a protocol and a selection of things to help you in your health journey, it’s called hedging your bets or wholistic health! since you are a whole body are you not?
