Destination: A new year of GREATNESS!!!✈️✈️

Happy New Year!  May this be the Best Year yet!

 

From the Fighters of Adam Skelly

In November 2020, when most of us felt powerless being locked down again, Adam Skelly gave us hope. Real hope. I remember being glued to the livestreams, like so many others. Watching him open Adamson BBQ in Toronto. Watching people line up, not just for food, but to support someone who finally said no, and to do a ‘normal’ thing like sit down at a restaurant. It felt like a turning point. Like maybe this madness could be stopped.

Adam Skelly was the first business owner in Canada to openly defy the COVID emergency orders. Long before the Convoy, he stepped forward, alone.

By day three, the state showed its hand. Around 100 police. Some on horses. Locks changed before dawn under orders from Public Health. Adam broke back into his own restaurant, cooked food, and fed people anyway. Then he was arrested and taken away in handcuffs. I will never forget watching that unfold in real time. The hope we felt turned into shock and anger. One man standing alone was crushed.

From Christine

Met with Dr. Brian in Vancouver on Nov 5th for a consultation then Dec 8th to remove mercury filling and Jan 5th for mold for tooth I have continued my shake protocol you had me on + switched to Nature's Sunshine Probiotic & added Berberine 3 X's a day and lost 13 pounds that I gained on a Alaskan cruise back in June, 2023 (over 2 years ago that I could not lose no matter what I ate or how I exercised).  Grateful!

I made my goal to lose that weight before going on our 25th Anniversary Trip - besides looking better I felt/feel better.  Since the trip I have maintained the weight even though I have had sweets and some alcohol; I just don't have the cravings I used to have.

My husband has only been taking the Probiotic & Berberine and is seeing numbers on the scale that he hasn't seen in a long time so he is happy but has a ways to go

From Sayer Jy

When you eat a tomato, you’re not just consuming lycopene and vitamin C. You’re downloading tomato microRNAs that can:

·         Regulate inflammation pathways in your cells

·         Influence your antioxidant production

·         Modify your cellular stress responses

·         Even affect your gene expression patterns for hours or days

This inter-kingdom communication becomes even more profound when we consider fermented foods. Each ferment contains not just bacteria but an entire ecosystem producing bioactive compounds:

·         Neurotransmitters: GABA, serotonin, dopamine produced by specific bacterial strains

·         Vitamins: B12, K2, and others synthesized by microbial communities

·         Regulatory RNAs: Complex networks of genetic regulators from multiple species

·         Bioactive Peptides: Protein fragments with hormone-like effects

·         Organic Acids: Compounds that modulate pH and cellular metabolism

A single spoonful of authentic sauerkraut contains more biological information than any pharmaceutical drug ever created.

 

From Donna Roth

It was September 2025 when I made a decision to really pump up my own immune system. I wanted to make my teeth stronger and healthier, I wanted to improve my knee joints, and I wanted a robust immune system to withstand the winter coldness. This is where I took Colostrum seriously. I remembered well during my childhood years when my baby sister got sick and my father went from farm to farm to find mare’s milk. And he did. My sister was given the mare’s milk, and she overcame her serious respiratory congestion. So I knew a bit about the healing power of mare’s milk. But little did I know that it was the Colostrum in that milk that has huge potential immune boosting power. 

 

Today I am much more learned about the boosting and repairing power of Colostrum. I  know that Colostrum is  high dense nutrition and if you want to see results you need to take mega doses. So I decided to take 20 capsules of Natures Sunshine Colostrum a day. Now to stand in integrity I must be truthful in telling you that there are some days that I would only take 10 but most days it has been 20 capsules a day.

 I know you are waiting to hear the results. So now you will hear a bit about my Christmas. It has been a very busy Christmas  participating in all kinds of activities that my children love to plan; VanDusen Garden Christmas lights, Christmas markets, swimming, Christmas parties, gift exchanges at least 3 times, Christmas dinners Church services, Church dinners, Christmas concerts that my musical children organize. I knew that it would be busy, so I got my self prepared. First of all, I did a liver gall bladder flush to keep my liver, gall bladder and entire digestive tract ready for the overeating. I did not eat any wheat, rye, barley oats and very little sugar. Second, I know that it is winter when your body temperature tends to drop and that’s when blood circulation can become stagnant and consequently the flow of toxin detoxification can be compromised. Did I end up with a cold or a flu? NOT!

 Now you know the reason I took 20 capsules of Colostrum a day and I am still taking it. I also know that Colostrum if it is not heated has the ability to sustain your body temperature at 37 C. Colostrum is from Nature Sunshine and its quality is impeccable. When many I know started to suffer from colds, flus, fevers ;as I one of them ? NOT! I have witnessed none of it.

 In October my daughter and 2 children who all had colds slept with us in our motor home. Did I get their cold? NOT! My immune system was powered up. During the fall season when my clients were calling me to inquire help regarding their flus was I the one suffering from a cold or flu? NOT I was loaded with energy and able to answer:

Every hour for 10 hours in a day take 2 Cat’s Claw and 1 Colostrum with a glass of clean water and Chlorophyll.

Now I find it quite coincidental that lo and behold what appeared in my mailbox in this New Year but an amazing article from Sayer Jy. What was it all about? It was a study done on Colostrum and today I would like to share it with you.

 

From Sayer Jy

“Bovine colostrum has clinical trial and meta-analytic evidence suggesting reductions in upper respiratory symptoms in certain populations, particularly athletes under heavy training loads.” ¹⁵

 

 Note I have already mentioned my baby sister being given mare’s milk which is very high in Colostrum to overcome respiratory illness. Sayer Jy calls Colostrum a lever meaning it lifts your whole system by restoring your inner terrain, rhythm, and adaptive capacity—thereby reducing the likelihood that the body must resort to dramatic, involuntary illness to recalibrate itself.

 

Sayer Jy then compares Colostrum to a study.

“Independent reviews find influenza vaccines offer surprisingly limited protection. Cochrane meta-analyses report "no credible evidence" that vaccinating healthy adults or healthcare workers significantly reduces flu complications¹. In older adults, the "available evidence is of poor quality and provides no guidance" on vaccine effectiveness² -- even after 75 studies over 40 years. Recent real-world data are equally sobering: a 2024–2025 study of 53,000 Cleveland Clinic employees showed negative vaccine efficacy (higher flu risk among the vaccinated)³.”

 

Bovine colostrum -- the first milk of cows -- emerges as a powerful flu fighter, outperforming vaccines in head-to-head trials. A landmark study found colostrum supplementation was at least 3× more effective than the flu shot at preventing influenza episodes⁴. High-risk heart patients on colostrum had zero hospitalizations, versus multiple hospitalizations (and even a fatality) in the vaccinated group⁵. A follow-up trial confirmed colostrum's superiority, especially when combined with a probiotic immunomodulator⁶.”

 

Here is some solid advise from Sayer Jy. Take Colostrum with a probiotic like Baccilus Coagulans which you can get from Nature Sunshine.

 

Sayer Jy then outlines the risks to taking flu shots. Here they are:

“-Guillain-BarrĂ© Syndrome a paralytic autoimmune disorder has long been linked to flu shots;

-flu vaccines account for more GBS reports than any other vaccine⁷.

 The 2009 Pandemrix H1N1 vaccine was withdrawn after health officials observed a spike in narcolepsy (a 25-fold increase in cases in one study) among vaccinated youths⁸.

- Flu shots can also trigger significant inflammatory responses: -

-in pregnant women they caused measurable inflammation associated with higher risk of preeclampsia and preterm birth⁹,

- in adults a flu jab induced arterial inflammation and oxidative stress lasting weeks¹⁰. –

- multi-dose flu vaccines still contain thimerosal (ethylmercury);

-laboratory research shows thimerosal is profoundly neurotoxic -- killing immune cells at just 1% of the concentrations used in vaccines¹¹ -- and accumulates in the brain¹².

 

Then wisely Sayer Jy states the profound benefits of Colstrum’

“Colostrum supports broad, natural immunity with an excellent safety profile. It boosts first-line defenses by enhancing IgA antibody production and balancing cytokine responses¹³, and even improves gut health (a key to overall immunity)¹⁴. Unlike strain-specific vaccines, colostrum's benefits adapt against many pathogens. Crucially, human studies report no serious adverse effects from colostrum supplementation¹⁵, making it a far safer prophylactic option for all ages.”

 

In the 2007 San Valentino study (named for the region in Italy), Dr. Maria R. Cesarone and colleagues compared oral colostrum against the flu vaccine in preventing seasonal influenza²⁵,²⁶. The trial design was rigorous: healthy subjects were divided into four groups -- one received colostrum daily for 8 weeks, one received the flu vaccine, one received both, and a control group had neither prophylaxis. Additionally, a parallel experiment tracked high-risk cardiovascular patients assigned to either colostrum or vaccine. The results were nothing short of astonishing.

 

Over 3 months of surveillance, the colostrum-only group had far fewer flu episodes than the vaccine-only group. In fact, non-colostrum subjects experienced about 3 times more days of illness than those taking colostrum²⁷. To illustrate: the colostrum group logged just 13 total flu episodes, versus 14 in the colostrum vaccine group (showing colostrum alone was just as good as combining it with the shot), 41 episodes in the vaccinated-only group, and 57 in the group that used nothing²⁸. In other words, colostrum outperformed vaccination by roughly a factor of three, dramatically reducing the incidence of flu infections⁴.

 

More striking were the outcomes in high-risk individuals. Among elderly and chronically ill patients (e.g. with heart disease), those given colostrum stayed out of the hospital entirely during flu season -- zero hospitalizations due to flu complications in the colostrum group⁵. By contrast, the vaccinated high-risk patients suffered multiple hospitalizations and even one death from influenza²⁹. This suggests colostrum was not only preventing mild infections, but also protecting vulnerable people from severe outcomes better than the vaccine. The economic implications followed logically: the colostrum users racked up only 30% of the flu-related medical costs that the vaccinated group did, thanks to fewer doctor visits, medications, and hospital stays³⁰. As the researchers concluded, colostrum -- even when derived from non-immunized cows -- proved "at least 3 times more effective than vaccination to prevent flu and [also] very cost-effective."⁴

 

Year 2025 in Review

One of the big projects I took on this year was to invite my clients to report on their experience using Nature Sunshine high dense nutrition to overcome some serious health problems. I am so grateful to all of them who very willingly allowed me to record their words and share it with others.

Their reports are moving out into this world thereby making a profound difference for people searching for their own answers to health challenges. I will mention their names and briefly tell you about their results. These results and this information will then be archived on my site www.donnaroth.com under the heading Teleconference calls and also Year 2025 Success Stories

Nature Sunshine Quality Control

Research shows that 85% of people trust independent, third-party-certification organizations.

At Nature’s Sunshine, we have found that our certifications help create a culture of quality.

US FOOD & DRUG ADMINISTRATION (FDA)

This body conducts unannounced audits every 12–24 months. These can take several weeks to

complete. Yet Nature’s Sunshine audits are much shorter, thanks in part to our superior facility,

protocols, documentation and standards. Nature’s Sunshine has never received any Form 483s,

which recommends a change to a process, procedure or standard.

ISO 9001 & ISO 17025

ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized certification given for quality management systems and

clear processes. Benefits include a strong customer focus, improved efficiency, reduced waste and

continuous improvement. The ISO 17025 audit assesses quality control labs and proves that facilities

are technically proficient, calibrated and accurate. This globally renowned certification truly sets us

apart from the rest.

NSF INTERNATIONAL

AKA the Public Health and Safety Organization, this non-profit group is a leading third-party

auditor. NSF has annually presented Nature’s Sunshine with its Good Manufacturing Certification,

which evaluates product and ingredient safety, GMP compliance and facility inspection by one of the

most revered independent certification organizations.

AUSTRALIA’S THERAPEUTIC GOODS ADMINISTRATION (TGA)

The industry’s most stringent regulatory body, the TGA is the gold standard. Their rigorous evaluation

includes risk assessment; GMP compliance; a thorough inspection of quality management, personnel,

premises, equipment, documentation and reporting, production, quality control, adverse event

monitoring and more; plus continued vigilance with ongoing audits. We consistently earn the highest

possible rating.

USDA ORGANIC CERTIFICATION

Our manufacturing facility complies with USDA organic regulations. We regularly excel under

scrutiny, passing the wide variety of tests and audits. USDA inspections observe onsite practices and

look for potential contamination by prohibited materials. Nature’s Sunshine has proudly earned the

certification, ensuring a safe production environment for organic products.

 

Using four specialized laboratories—herb, vitamin, mineral and microbiological—

Nature’s Sunshine constantly tests incoming materials and finished products to

ensure that everything meets our exacting standards. Scientists use advanced

analytical equipment and expert training to ensure that our high standards of

purity and potency are maintained throughout every step of the production

process. And through our in-house Methods Laboratory, Nature’s Sunshine

is continuing to lead the industry by developing and validating new testing

procedures that have been adopted by competitors and collaborators alike. We

have over 600 assessments at our disposal to determine the quality, purity and

potency of our raw materials and finished products, including:

• Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC): Identifies plant material, including

species and plant part (stem, root, leaf, etc.)

• Ultraviolet Light: Verifies active components are present

• High Performance Liquid Chromatography: Quantifies product purity

and potency

• Gas Chromatography: Tests for purity, potency and the presence of pesticides

• Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy: Verifies material composition and

checks for the presence of adulterants or contaminants

• Geiger Counter: Checks for radioactive contamination

We have over 600 assessments

at our disposal to determine

the quality, purity and

potency of our raw materials

and finished products.

Researchers at the Hughes Center have conducted 11 clinical studies and filed 12 patent

applications for a number of Nature’s Sunshine formulas and programs, including:

• Power Beets – A dual pathway nitric oxide (NO) generator. The unique dual-pathway

approach maximizes the body’s ability to naturally produce its own NO, while providing

ingredients to generate even more of this cardiovascular-supporting molecule.

• UltraBiome DTX – A unique and advanced heavy metal detoxification program with

microbiome and gut barrier support.

• Zerenity – Featuring Sceletium tortuosum and key nutrients that replenish your body’s

stress-coping reserves, Zerenity targets feelings of anxiousness from multiple pathways.

• CardioxLDL™ – A proprietary antioxidant blend with Citrus bergamia extract to support

healthy cholesterol levels.

From Greg Reese   Canada Health Alliance

Like an on/off switch, gratitude connects with the brain’s reward center and creates a feeling of peace. It puts us in a state of mind that allows for better assessment and calm response, even while under pressure. Gratitude effects the brain’s default mode network, or DMN, which is involved in self identity, morality, and social relationships. With gratitude, the DMN becomes a more focused picture, which allows one to see more connections and opportunities as they occur in real time.

 

Gratitude also improves heart rate variability which gives more control over the parasympathetic nervous system. This allows for better impulse control, which inevitably leads to making better decisions. Gratitude also cultivates better sleep quality and lower inflammation.

 

Gratitude not only feels good, it brings good things. No matter if you think it’s merely perception or coincidence, or if you think it’s luck, karma, or grace. Whatever you want to call it, there is a predictable cause and effect when you practice gratitude, your life inexplicably changes for the best.” 

 

Gratitude can be reclaimed through deliberate moral discipline: keeping a record of daily blessings, thanking others sincerely, recognizing what is good rather than what is lacking.”

By making this a daily practice, soon, even in the toughest, craziest times (i.e. the last five years that puts any far-fetched sci-fi movie to shame!), gratitude quickly becomes a habit. And when that happens suddenly you realize just how much you have to be grateful for.

 

Quality is Critical Raw Material Sourcing

As you know I do educational consultations via Zoom for people who request it, The education is critical. I work hard to find the cause of the health challenges, and they come in many different diagnosis. To overcome a health challenge requires knowing what poisons are causing health problems. Once I identify the poisons that are the root cause of the health challenge I then move into recommending Super Foods from Nature Sunshine and herbs from Nature Sunshine, I only recommend Nature Sunshine because I know and trust their quality.  Here are the words directly from Nature Sunshine:

Quality begins at the source,

as Nature’s Sunshine experts determine the most

potent and biologically active forms of raw

materials. Our quality experts travel the

globe auditing potential vendors, inspecting

facilities, equipment, and cleaning

techniques, checking documentation and

regulatory requirements, and ensuring

that each supplier adheres to Good

Manufacturing Practices. On-site vendor

inspections guarantee that only the purest,

highest quality ingredients become a part

of Nature’s Sunshine

 

 What I Learned from Lynda Hammonds Past VP of Quality Control

Nature’s Sunshine is the herbal provider past present and future. Quality is the key building block on which Nature Sunshine was built. Quality in Nature’s Sunshine starts from the fields to the seeds down to the lab to the customer’s doorstep. Nothing is compromised when it comes to quality control with Nature Sunshine. Nature Sunshine has the most comprehensive quality control testing in the entire world. Nature Sunshine tests to parts per trillion when it comes to the actives (alkaloids) in every herbal product that goes through its door. Quality testing ensures that the active of each herbal product is present in the proper amounts. Other companies test their products once a year. Nature’s Sunshine tests every lot every single time. They test the correct species and genus by certified botanists.

 

 There are 2 types of Valerian: Valerian Officianalis and Indian Valerian. One has the correct activities in it and the other does not. Of course, the Indian Valerian with no actives is the cheaper one but it has no beneficial effects.

 Nature’s Sunshine houses HPTLC equipment that separates the actives to ensure they are all present in each lot that is tested. Many competitors test DNA but the DNA does not tell you the part of the plant and it does not tell you the actives in the plant. Consequently  Nature Sunshine uses their HPTLC equipment along with DNA to test the part of the plant and the actives present in the plant. If the plant lot fails the tests it is returned to the supplier who simply sells it to the competitor next door.

 

Nature’s Sunshine never buys the cheapest herbal products. This company buys he best. Many of the plants are wild crafted. Lynda talked about  personally knowing the grower and exactly who harvests it. She knows the soils, the seeds, the plants and the conditions it was grown in. She has found that many herbs are adulterated, or the wrong part of the plants are used or the species in incorrect. Many companies do not test each lot as Nature’s Sunshine does. Over 85% of the brands on the market are not tested directly by the company.

Nature Sunshine is always raising the bar on quality. In 2017 Nature’s Sunshine purchased a new HPTLC system which costs $180,000. It tests for colors and intensity of the actives. For instance, Cascara Sagrada to be effective must have 30 actives. If any of the color bands are missing it is rejected. In 2017 Nature Sunshine rejected Black Walnut because it did not meet quality standards.

 

 Heavy metal testing is intense when it comes to Nature Sunshine. Their equipment can test in parts per trillion. It is like locating tiny drop of water in 20 Olympic sized swimming pools.

Nature Sunshine tests for dirt, rocks and for over 650 different pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, for yeast, molds, bacteria and microbial contamination. Just recently the FDA discovered 300 fraudulent products on the market, some were laced with drugs, others with synthetic steroids.

Nature’s Sunshine Chinese herbs are 1000’s of years old and the cleanest in the world. They are unique with optimal actives and are TCM standard with an ISO standard as tested by Dr. Eric Brand, a leading expert in Chinese herbs.

 

Guest Dr Kathy: Quality is Critical

 

 

Using four specialized laboratories—herb, vitamin, mineral and microbiological—

Nature’s Sunshine constantly tests incoming materials and finished products to

ensure that everything meets our exacting standards. Scientists use advanced

analytical equipment and expert training to ensure that our high standards of

purity and potency are maintained throughout every step of the production

process. And through our in-house Methods Laboratory, Nature’s Sunshine

is continuing to lead the industry by developing and validating new testing

procedures that have been adopted by competitors and collaborators alike. We

have over 600 assessments at our disposal to determine the quality, purity and

potency of our raw materials and finished products, including:

• Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC): Identifies plant material, including

species and plant part (stem, root, leaf, etc.)

• Ultraviolet Light: Verifies active components are present

• High Performance Liquid Chromatography: Quantifies product purity

and potency

• Gas Chromatography: Tests for purity, potency and the presence of pesticides

• Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy: Verifies material composition and

checks for the presence of adulterants or contaminants

• Geiger Counter: Checks for radioactive contamination

We have over 600 assessments

at our disposal to determine

the quality, purity and

potency of our raw materials

and finished products.

Researchers at the Hughes Center have conducted 11 clinical studies and filed 12 patent

applications for a number of Nature’s Sunshine formulas and programs, including:

• Power Beets – A dual pathway nitric oxide (NO) generator. The unique dual-pathway

approach maximizes the body’s ability to naturally produce its own NO, while providing

ingredients to generate even more of this cardiovascular-supporting molecule.

• UltraBiome DTX – A unique and advanced heavy metal detoxification program with

microbiome and gut barrier support.

• Zerenity – Featuring Sceletium tortuosum and key nutrients that replenish your body’s

stress-coping reserves, Zerenity targets feelings of anxiousness from multiple pathways.

• CardioxLDL™ – A proprietary antioxidant blend with Citrus bergamia extract to support

healthy cholesterol levels.

 

Did you know that some brands contain little or no key constituents necessary for the product to work properly? Look at this comparison between NSP's St. John's Wort and rejected raw material. Hypericin and Pseudohypericin— two key active factors— are not even present in the opposing sample of raw material.

 

NSP conducts meticulous testing during every phase of the production process; from receipt of each raw material to storage and shipment of finished products. These tests ensure that raw materials and other ingredients are the finest available. Over 150 tests and procedures give you the piece of mind that every Nature's Sunshine product is tested to be potent and pure.

Check out this revealing look at missing constituents in a competitor's valerian. Valerenic Acid and Acetoxyvalerenic are not even detectable.

People are realizing the importance of quality when it comes to their herbal supplements. This quality can make the difference

between a product that works very well and a product that has no noticeable effects. Searching for less expensive brands does not pay.

 

I chose 2 products to share with you in regards to the importance of Quality Control. Then I will bring Dr Kathy on to share her success stories.

 

Aloe Vera products

Every health food store has aloe vera products; aloe vera juice, aloe vera gel and extracts. But not all aloe vera products adhere to high standards as does Nature Sunshine. Dr Axe;

“But you’ll want to choose a product that’s made by a reputable company to ensure that the extraction and processing methods didn’t reduce the plant’s therapeutic properties.

 

The processing method has the largest effect on the number and amount of active ingredients in an aloe vera product. The commercial production process of aloe vera products typically involves the crushing, grinding or pressing of the whole leaf to produce aloe vera juice, followed by various steps of filtration and stabilization to achieve the desired extract. Although this is easier for the manufacturers, it can result in a product that contains little or no active ingredients.

 

It turns out, after extracting the gel, heating it and using fillers to make aloe vera products, the health benefits are minimized.

 

 

It provides 20 of the 22 human-required amino acids and eight of the nine essential amino acids.

 

Aloe vera contains many vitamins and minerals that are vital for proper growth and function of all body systems. Here’s an easy explanation of aloe vera’s active components:

 

 

Quality Aloe Vera contains the following:

2 hormones called auxins and gibberellins for healing wounds and have anti-inflammatory properties.

4 fatty acids cholesterol, campestral, beta-sitosterol , lupeol; moving out the poisons

6 critical vitamins A, C and E, plus vitamin B12, folic acid and choline.

8 enzymes, aliiase, alkaline phosphatase, amylase, bradykinase, carboxypeptidase, catalase, cellulase, lipase and peroxidase.

9 Minerals; calcium, copper, selenium, chromium, manganese, magnesium, potassium, sodium zinc.

12 anthraquinones 2 of which are aloin and emodin, which act as analgesics, antibacterials antivirals.

Important monosaccharides (glucose and fructose) and polysaccharides.

 

Guest: Kathy shares her success stories; Arthritis, Shingles,

 

Pau D’Arco

Pau d’arco is native to South America, where it has been used to treat a wide range of conditions. There are reports of medicinal uses of pau d’arco tea dating back to 1873, and it was used in the Amazon rainforest as a “miraculous” healer for tumors with impressive anti-inflammatory effects.

Pau d’arco, also called tabebuia avellanedae, is a canopy tree from the Bignoniaceae family with extremely hard wood. Its name is the Portuguese word for “bow stick.” This is an appropriate term because the tree was actually used by native South Americans for making hunting bows.

 

The bark and wood of the tree are used externally and internally for:

arthritis

pain

inflammation of the prostate gland

fever

dysentery

boils

ulcers

various cancers

One of the easiest ways to use pau d’arco is by consuming a tea made from the inner bark of pau d’arco or applying the tea water to the skin.

The medicinal part of the tree is the bark, specifically the inner lining of the bark, called the phloem (pronounced floam). Unfortunately, many companies use the whole bark, containing the dead wood too, and this naturally dilutes the activity of the material.

 

The bark of tabebuia avellanedae is valued for its powerful and therapeutic phytochemicals. Research on red lapacho tabebuia identified two active chemicals in pau d’arco called naphthoquinones: lapachol and beta-lapachone.

 

These chemical properties have the power to kill bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites. They have also shown anti-inflammatory properties, which are important in treating health conditions such as osteoarthritis.

 

Research shows that pau d’arco tea has the power to naturally reduce pain in patients suffering from cancer and other serious health conditions. It has the ability to lessen the pain associated with several kinds of cancer, especially cancer of the prostate, liver or breast.
