Now, you are all going to see my first part of the medical uses of CP
about Dionaea
Here it is: PART I
The following is presented as informational only. No information in
these
articles should be taken as a recommendation. If you have any
questions
about
the relationship between Venus Flytrap - Carnivora and your health,
seek
the
advice of a qualified health professional.
I have tried the Venus Fly Trap Herbal Extract and it has been potent
and
effective for me. It costs about the same as other herbal extracts but
this
one really works. I would advise anyone trying this to start with only
ten
drops in a "0" size gelatin capsule 3x a day for a week and work your
way up
from there. The plants used in the extract are organically greenhouse
cultivated in South Carolina according to the supplier. I was curious
about the
plumbagin component of the active ingredientin VFT, Andreas Prilop
(april@macb033.rrzn.uni-hannover.de) provided the following:
"Plumbagin" is not a specific German term but a trivial name used in
both
English and German.
Plumbagin
5-Hydroxy-2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone
1,4-Dihydro-5-hydroxy-2-methylnaphthalene-1,4-dione
5-Hydroxy-2-methyl-1,4-naphthalenedione

Venus' Flytrap Cancer and AIDS
Fighter of the Future?
A German doctor achieves promising results with this carnivorous plant
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 the 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 extracts German manufacturer,
the former U.S. president still buys these drops today.
Carnivora is derived from the plant Venus' Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula).
This is a standardized solution used in the treatment of chronic
diseases,
including most forms of cancer, ulcerative col-itis, multiple
sclerosis,
all
types of herpes infections, chronic arthritis, and almost any immune
deficiency state, including AIDS. In cases of cancer, Carnivora works
therapeutically to shrink solid tumors, according to its proponents,
but
does not help with blood abnormalities such as leukemia. Also, it
works
best if the patient has not previously undergone chemotherapy or
radiation
therapy. Carnivora's proponents also claim that in other clinical
applications, it has been effective in boosting immune function and
eliminating the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from the blood.
Carnivora can be administered as drops for use orally or by inhalation,
or
it can be given by injection. Laboratory studies indicate that purified
Carnivora is safe, and its new drug application is pending approval by
the
German Food and Drug Adrninistration. It is readily available for
application
to patients by physicians in Germany and other European countries
Carnivora
remains unapproved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
however,
and cannot be imported or used legally except by people suffering from
life-
threatening illnesses such as cancer and AIDS.
The discoverer of Carnivora is a researcher and oncologist, Helmut
Keller,
M.D., who first studied the Venus' Flytrap at Boston University in
1980.
He
moved to Germany a year later to find more freedom for his Carnivora
research. I visited Dr. Keller at his clinic in Bad Steben,~
Germany,
in
June 1991, and I was given access to his files. I have also
interviewed
about 50 of his patients. One was 65-year-old Betty Williams of Ames,
Iowa. Diagnosed with inflammatory breast disease, the most lethal form
of breast cancer, she sought treatment from Dr. Keller.
Mrs. Williams's case study reveals that the skin of her right breast
was
at
first red, swollen, warrm, indurated, and painful. All of the symptoms
resembled an infection, but diagnosis by biopsy-revealed that it was
inflammatory carcinoma. Death was likely to occur in a matter of weeks,
and the doctors had no hope for her survival. By the time three
American
oncologists separately confirmed the diagnosis and prognosis, her
breast
was turning black.
