The herbal community uses the name Larrea Mexicana but the scientific community uses the name Larrea tridentata. If you search for natural remedies for cancer, you'll eventually come upon information about Chaparral Leaf extract, a powerful healing herb that grows in the desert regions of the American Southwest, among other places. Chaparral is a Native American remedy and has been used traditionally for centuries for bronchitis, coughs, colds and chicken pox. It can be used both internally and externally against viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Chaparral Leaf is said to have analgesic, expectorant, as well as strong anti-inflammatory properties. It has been used to deal with conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, rheumatism, carpal tunnel syndrome, skin sores and wounds, urinary infections and tuberculosis. Chaparral has been useful in the treatment of vaginal yeast infections, such as trichomonas and Candida albicans. This herbal tincture is said to have beneficial effects against cancer and it may help patients going through chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Chaparral leaf extract is a good blood purifier; applied to the skin it can have remarkable healing effects on warts, eczema, herpes, cold sores, psoriasis, blemishes and contact dermatitis. Chaparral extract can remove boils and abscesses and has shown to be effective against athlete's foot, nail fungus, dandruff, and ringworm. The liquid herbal extract is also supposed to eliminate the residue of LSD from the bloodstream. It has been used as a mouthwash to kill bacteria and help reduce cavities by 75% and it has even been used as a tonic for hair growth.
Chaparral tincture is extremely bitter and contains NDGA (nordihydrogauiaretic acid), an anti-cancer substance thought to fight and prevent cancer. Chaparral is also said to have high antioxidant content, which can protect one against the cell damage which leads to cancer and it may inhibit the growth of tumors, cancer cells, and over-exposure to sunlight. It protects against harmful effects of radiation. Chaparral leaf also contains polysaccharides, which stimulate the immune system. It is said the greatest ability is moving the lymphatic system. This will help draw the harmful drugs and toxic chemicals out of the cells, which is very beneficial for patients undergoing chemotherapy. Dr. Andrew Weil recommends the use of Chaparral in a douche (a tsp. of Chaparral tincture to a quart of warm water) for the precancerous condition, cervical dysplasia. Cancer patients wishing to use this herb in addition to other treatments should do so only in consultation with their physician.
Larrea tridentata, commonly creosote bush, has attracted a great deal of interest for researchers over the past four decades because of its past uses in several kinds of human disorders, including chickenpox which is caused by a herpes virus. Herpes virus inflicts widespread suffering around the world and depending on the particular type of herpes virus, the resulting disorder could be oral sores, genital sores, chickenpox, shingles, Kaposi's sarcoma, and Epstein-Barr syndrome, the most commonly known afflictions caused by this family of viruses. The active antioxidant, a lignan called NDGA, has been shown to specifically target virtually all forms of the herpes simplex virus and has been shown to be up to 97.5% effective. The extract applied topically have healed oral and facial blisters in less than 24 hours, where symptoms normally last 3-7 days. Chaparral taken internally have reversed outbreaks of genital herpes within 48 hours. HIV-positive people have used Larrea both topically and internally to shrink lesions caused by ongoing Kaposi's sarcoma on their feet and legs within 1 to 2 weeks of daily application. It has also shown it may be able to interrupt the life cycle of the causative organism in HIV infections. More than 200 tons of Chaparral have been sold since 1975, with fewer than two dozen reports of potential side effects against liver function. Although this represents a small fraction of users for this medicinal plant, it suggests, at the very least, that those who already have liver problems should be cautious and enlist the help of their health professional to monitor their liver metabolism when using internally.
