                Cancer Affirmation
                  By Tarra
                Greetings! It was asked on this board 
                  if there is a why, a dis-ease in the body that causes Cancer. 
                  Louise L. Hay " Heal Your Body" Cancer: Deep Hurt. 
                  Longstanding resentment. Seep secret or grief eating away at 
                  the self. Carrying hatreds. "What's the use?" attitude. 
                  Affirmation: I lovingly forgive and release all of the past. 
                  l choose to fill my world with joy. I love and approve of myself. 
                  
                There is help for Cancer. Legally 
                  I can't say cure. USA law reads only a medical licensed doctor 
                  may use the word cure. Personal experience taught me they are 
                  serious about this. Eisac tea was given by a Canadian nurse 
                  to people with cancer. It was so effective Canada and the USA 
                  did a study on it. They could not dispute the healing of this 
                  tea. This tea was given to her by a Ojibway native. The original 
                  recipe has only 4 ingredients, East, South, West and North; 
                  the balance of the medicine wheel. The natives close to me swear 
                  by chaparral tea. There is an oxygen bath that releases toxins 
                  from the body. It is not leagle in the USA. I have a friend 
                  who went to jail for promoting this method. Again, Faith, is 
                  the key. Believe!
                Lotus:
                  While it is 
                  true, Chaparral has been used for thousands of years by Native 
                  Americans for a variety of purposes. It has been employed primarily 
                  in tea form to help with cramping pains, joint pains, and allergic 
                  problems, as well as to eliminate parasites. Externally it has 
                  been applied to reduce inflammation and pain, and to promote 
                  healing of minor wounds. 
                One should be very 
                  aware of the following: 
                  Cautions : 
                  There have been sporadic 
                  reports of people developing liver or kidney problems after 
                  taking chaparral, particularly in capsules. Almost all of these 
                  cases involved either the use of capsules or excessive amounts 
                  of tea. Some of these cases were people with established liver 
                  disease prior to using the herb. Tea and tincture of chaparral 
                  have an extremely strong taste considered disagreeable by most 
                  people, which restricts the amount they can tolerate before 
                  feeling nauseous. Capsules bypass this protective mechanism 
                  and should therefore be avoided.
                 The chemistry of 
                  chaparral is well studied and extensive literature has been 
                  published on the principal lignan component, NDGA [nordihydroguaiaretic 
                  acid]. However, little documented evidence is available to justify 
                  the herbal uses of chaparral. In view of the concerns over the 
                  hepatic toxicity, the use of chaparral as a herbal remedy cannot 
                  be recommended.
                 It is important 
                  to understand that certain herbs can be deadly and despite studies 
                  showing that NDGA to have an anticancer effect in vitro [in 
                  an artificial environment], research by the National Cancer 
                  Institute found no such effect in vivo [in a living body]. Some 
                  reports suggest that NDGA may stimulate certain malignancies 
                  such as renal cell carcinoma. 
                The major lignan 
                  in chaparral, known as nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) is a 
                  potent antioxidant and was thought by some scientists to be 
                  a potential cancer treatment. However, several reports now suggest 
                  that NDGA may stimulate further growth of tumors in cancer patients. 
                  Clinical trials, therefore, are still needed to establish whether 
                  chaparral is a safe and effective treatment for people with 
                  cancer.
                 Seek advice from 
                  a health-care practitioner before use. 
                Please do not 
                  attempt to self-medicate.
