Dr. Gary Null
See book keywords and concepts |  Over the years, I have taken formulas of Chinese and western herbs.
The results are difficult to show concretely. All I can tell you is that 1 don't have cancer and that ten years later, after having had a very aggressive kind of tumor, I am still fine.
I believe in natural medicine. I also believe very firmly that it is important to have a practitioner, to not use the local health food store as your medical advisor. Everybody has to be examined individually.

When I was forty-six, my doctor found tumors in my breasts and my uterus. He screamed at me to see a surgeon, but I refused. |

Many western herbs are beneficial in the treatment of arthritis. It's worth remembering that the discovery of aspirin, was predicated on the traditional folk wisdom that the bark of the white willow could reduce aches and pains. White willow bark is high in salicylate acid, the active ingredient of aspirin. Herbs that can play an important role in treating arthritis include curcumin (extracted from the spice turmeric), Jamaican dogwood, feverfew, devil's claw, licorice, ginger, and yucca. |

See book keywords and concepts |  What other fascinating chemicals are present in folk remedies that are still being overlooked because of a resistance to exploring common western herbs?
This is not to say that colchicine is a "cure for cancer." Far from it. The few clinical trials that were performed were "quite disappointing" (119). However, work continues. As late as 1995, urologists showed that colchicine combined with the drug estramustine suppressed the growth of prostate cancer cells (126). Since there is no effective form of chemotherapy for advanced prostate cancer, this could be an important finding. |
Michael Tierra
See book keywords and concepts |  Starting with the experience and knowledge that a few spread to their students throughout the country over two decades, the awareness of and use of western herbs and alternative therapies have exploded into the mass market—down to the household level. Herbs and natural treatments, such as homeopathic remedies, are now sold in mainstream store chains. Increasing numbers of medical doctors are incorporating herbal and natural remedies into their medical practices. Special TV reports and newspaper articles frequently discuss specific herbal "miracle" cures. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Typical western herbs include pleurisy root, yerba santa, and lobelia. Ginkgo biloba, commonly thought of as an antiaging nutrient, has specific antiinflammatory effects in asthma.
Acupuncture, the ancient Chinese healing art, has been proven in numerous studies to be helpful in mitigating the symptoms of asthma. In China, departments of pulmonary medicine, while adopting modern techniques of pharmacological management, are never without the attendance of skilled acupuncturists. |
Gabriel Cousens, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Pure Synergy contains ten western herbs used to cleanse, regenerate, and revitalize the body, as well as an Asian Mushroom powder made of five rejuvenative and life-preserving mushrooms, including Reishi, Maitake, Shiitake, Tremella, and Cordyceps. This amazing product also has a natural enzyme powder, lecithin, royal jelly, and a natural anti-oxidant powder which help to keep the Pure Synergy fresh for traveling. One of the main advantages of Pure Synergy as a food is that it is a balance of approximately 50% protein and 50% carbohydrate so it can be used by all constitutional types. |

Note: I would say that about 90% of the people in America suffer from weakened kidneys due to our dietary habits. This formula is thus useful for almost everyone.
Leukorrhea (White Vaginal Discharge) Internal:
Make a decoction of equal parts:
Uva ursi Parsley root Dandelion root Burdock root
Use one ounce of herbs per pint of water. Also, alternately take two capsules of equal parts echinacea, goldenseal and myrrh every two hours along with one half cup of the tea. | | He also saw the incredible importance of diet and its influence on illness and the effectiveness of western herbs. Just as traditional medicinal systems throughout the world developed theoretical foundations for using herbs, they also did this with food. Michael began teaching the use of an energetically balanced diet along with herbs. He explained the therapeutic use of foods along with identification of the energetic imbalances in the body. This he included in the first edition of this book.
Since the original publication of The Way of Herbs, Western herbalism has expanded tremendously. |

See book keywords and concepts | | You have to wonder what other excellent drugs remain hidden in western herbs, such as the ones discussed in this book.
Many herbs were examined and rejected in the past. But we must remember that there are new ways of evaluating botanical agents, which can more accurately predict whether or not they would benefit patients. Scientists have only begun to investigate apoptotic or various host-mediated effects of botanical agents.
Dozens of herbs can modulate the immune system, inhibit angiogenesis, or exert other positive effects. |
