Black Walnut / Anti-fungal & De-Wormer

Herb Of The Week / Black Walnut / Anti-fungal & De-Wormer
From: "papa_de_q"

Howdy!!



The Herb Of The Week should start with a "B" this week, so we'll talk
about BLACK WALNUT ((Juglans nigra). FROM GREEN WALNUT HULLS!!
Remember that. The bottle should say "from green walnut hulls" before
you purchase it.


Black Walnut hates parasites and fungi, including worms. On top of it
all, it's a natural laxative. One must have a way of removing the dead
parasites! It fights intestinal parasites such as pinworms, flat
worms, heart worms etc, and even external fungi such as ringworms.


Remember that candiosis (yeast infection) is a caused by the candida
fungus so Black Walnut could be a tremendous help. There are many
types of parasites including the intestinal flukes, liver flukes,
ascaris lumbricoides, Schistosoma blood flukes, Giardia intestinalis,
hookworms, beefworms and many others.

MOST PEOPLE INFECTED WITH PARASITES DO NOT EVEN KNOW THEY HAVE THEM.


Symptoms of parasite infection can include diarrhea, gas and bloating,
leaky gut syndrome, multiple chemical sensitivity and allergies,
depressed immunity, malabsorption of nutrients, itching around anus,
joint and muscle pain, skin conditions and rashes, weeping eczema and
other skin lesions, depression and anxiety, sleep disturbances and
chronic fatigue. Parasites especially like to live in feces and
buildup in the colon. Parasites produce toxins, damage the mucosal
membranes and can even get into the blood and infect major body organs.


The problem with herb-of-the-week is that many herbs, to be more
effective, need to be combined with other herbs and nutritional
supplements. So these newsletters tend to read like movie
credits....... Starring BLACK WALNUT.... but co-starring CLOVES,
GARLIC, CAYENNE and WORMWOOD.


Any good de-worming program should also include wormwood, cloves,
garlic and cayenne pepper. You should be eating garlic and red pepper
ANYWAY... everytime you get the chance.... since they are so helpful
in other areas. (For instance red pepper is for the cardiovascular
system, cholesterol and hypertension and everything related to proper
blood flow. - Garlic is antiviral and antibiotic with the added
benefit of scaring away vampires) I like to say that I do garlic
regularly and have yet to be bothered by even one vampire!!


Wormwood is a great choice for addressing worm infestations. Research
and studies have shown it to be most effective against roundworms and
pinworms. It is mostly used with black walnut hulls and cloves (and
sometimes clove oil!!) to get rid of worms AND other parasites
INCLUDING CANDIDA.


Back to the Black Walnut though.... "...Black Walnut Bark, including
the kernel and green hull, have been used to expel various kinds of
worms by the Asians, as well as by some American Indian tribes.
External applications have been known to kill ringworm. The Chinese
use it to kill tapeworm with extremely good success. The high tannin
content is primarily responsible for its anthelmintic (de-worming)
properties, although other constituents such as juglandin, juglone and
juglandic acid may also be involved ...."


Black Walnut can be used as a poultice for skin disorders when the
disorder is fungus related and can even fight poison ivy and warts.


Although parasites are believed to be the root cause of many diseases
according to many experts, it is the thing least likely thing to be
checked for by most practitioners. Another problem is that diagnostic
tests from feces often fail to diagnose the presence of parasites and
without a diagnosis, a doctor may not address the issue. Your dog or
cat is more likely to be properly screened for parasites than you
are... but parasites usually do not care that the host organism is a
human rather than a pet!!


One last problem is that even when you are checked for parasites, you
are checked for a FEW worms....... nevermind there are enough
parasites for a whole new branch of biology!! You guessed it.....The
study of parasites is called parasitology.


Dr. Ross Anderson, one of Americas foremost parasitic infection
specialists, stated: "... I believe the single most undiagnosed health
challenge in the history of the human race is parasites. I realize
that this is a pretty brave statement, but it is based on my 20 years
of experience with more than 20,000 patients."


There are many other medical experts that suspect parasites to be
responsible for a host of modern diseases. Parasites weaken the system
and allow other germs and viruses to get a foothold. Parasites produce
dangerous waste material, the same as viruses and bacteria. It is even
been suspected that the wastes of these organisms is what causes the
problems; not the organisms themselves. Finally, have you ever heard
the expression "Where there's smoke there's fire"? Where there's
disease; there are parasites.

The best prevention is a no-brainer..... don't eat raw meat....
Medium rare is a play on words.... it's actually medium RAW.

Until next time remember .... most illness (upwards of 80% according
to experts) can be attributed to FOUR important factors that can
weaken your immune system and your ability to fight off disease:


1. Anxiety, depression, anger, guilt and other STRESS factors
2. Improper and/or inadequate NUTRITION habits
3. A sedimentary lifestyle that does not include enough EXERCISE
4. Not enough rest and quality SLEEP time

The United States Surgeon General warned Americans in a landmark 1988
report on Nutrition and Health that "diet related diseases account for
68% of U.S. deaths"

Remember, we ALWAYS recommend that you ALWAYS consult a professional
herbalist, naturopathologist or physician. We are just passing along
what we hope to be useful information.
