Trees and Vines

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which [is] the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat (Genesis 1:29).

Chinese Plant Compound Wipes out Cancer in 40 Days, Says New Research

A little-known plant with a truly bizarre name is now making headlines as a cancer killer, with the compound of the plant vanishing tumors in mice with pancreatic cancer. Known as the ‘thunder god vine’ or lei gong teng, the Chinese plant is actually integrated into Chinese medicine and has been used for ages in remedying a number of conditions including rheumatoid arthritis.
According to the new research out of the University of Minnesota’s Masonic Cancer Center, the thunder god plant compound led to no signs of tumors after a 40 day period — even after discontinuing the treatment. Published in the journal Science Translational Medicine and funded by the National Institutes of Health, even the scientists working on the project were stunned by the anti-cancer properties of the compound. Known to contain something known as triptolide, which has been identified as a cancer fighter in previous research, it is thought to be the key component that may be responsible for the anti-tumor capabilities.
Study leader and vice chairman of research at the Cancer Center explained to Bloomberg how he was blown away by the effects of the simple plant:
“This drug is just unbelievably potent in killing tumor cells,” he said.
And just like with numerous other powerful substances like turmeric and ginger, mainstream science is still slowly confirming what many traditional practitioners have known for their entire lives. This is, of course, due to the fact that there is simply no money for major corporations in researching the healing powers of natural herbs and compounds such as the compound found in the thunder god vine. Turmeric and ginger, for example, have been found to be amazing anti-cancer substances that are virtually free compared to expensive and dangerous cancer drugs.
Nevertheless, the Big Pharma sponsored corporate scientists have managed to ignore these spices as much as possible. In fact, they have even been caught time and time again faking thousands of studies to fraudulently demonstrate the supposed value of pharmaceutical drugs pushed by major pharma juggernauts — many of which are later forced to pay millions in fines which only slightly stack up against their billions in profits.
Profits that are threatened by the many real studies that were performed by scientists examining the rejeuvenating power of cheap ingredients like turmeric, which has been found by peer-reviewed research available on PubMed to positively influence over 590 conditions.
While it is great news that this study is bringing the beneficial effects of inexpensive and near-free plant compounds to light, the bad news is that the individuals responsible for the research are actually looking to create a pharmaceutical drug from the essential component triptolide. A drug that will seek FDA approval and ultimately be patented, nutritionally ruined, and sold for exorbitant amounts of cash. Instead, just get your hands on some thunder god vine for yourself.

            Yesterday, a long time friend called me from Florida. In a time span of three weeks he had buried his father, aunt, and sister, all died with cancer. It is hard to find an individual or family who has not been ravaged by this dreaded disease. Which, when I was young, in school, like diabetes, cancer was a very rare disease.

            When I was in school, care of the health of the body was scientific. Today's doctors are manipulated-controlled by "big Pharma." The ravaging effects of today's drugs-chemicals, in treatment, devastating.  We treat symptoms not the disease and the side effects are almost as atrocious as the disease. Doctors, those treating cancer, have the same rate of cancer as the general public. If doctors could cure cancer, they would cure themselves.

            Each of the 23 trillion cells in the human body is a complicated chemical factory, controlled by electrical impulse. Radiology kicks up the cancer and then the oncologist tries to cure the cancer with more radiology or, chemical therapy. Inflammation is the cause of all disease but the "big bucks" are not from the prevention of inflammation. In the world of fast foods, fast cars, fast living, "with assembly line treatment," when you are lucky to get 10 minutes with your doctor, there is really not much time for discussing your body-habits-nutrition-family history. It's like Christians, we love God and service to his church if it does not inconvenience us. The poor doctor does not want to be inconvenienced from his golf game.

            This is the information age. $80 billion dollars is spent each year by old people trying to look young.  With all our education, we have very little learning. Why not learn to eat correctly, keep toxins out of your body (inflammation causing agents)?

            We have heard about the French paradox. This writer, many times in France, I could never understand how the French spent so much time in cafe's, eating the wrong foods, smoking cigarettes, and always drinking wine. They have fewer cancer and other tragic diseases than most. We find that it is the salvestrols, a new class of natural anti-cancer chemicals found in certain dietary plants and fruits including grapes and organic wine. It is probably no coincidence that the first miracle of Jesus was the turning of water into wine, at a wedding feast, Cana of Galilee (John 4:46). The Apostle Paul's words to Timothy "Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities" (1 Timothy 5:23).

            How well I remember the long time professor, UNC medical school, Chapel Hill, Dr. W.C George, I worked with him some out at his farm in Carrboro. One day, I was lamenting about the hard times and hard work on the farm. We had often talked about my family farm, the poverty of growing up, my poor preparation, from a country school, for college. He said, "You poor thing, all that hard work in the sun, sweating out toxins, fresh water-meat-vegetables-eggs, grapes from the vines, berries from the bushes, what better way for good health? You will probably live to be a very old man."
