and liver disorders. Watercress is a popular cough and bronchitis remedy. It contains a remarkable
substance called rhein, which appears to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the intestines. It is
believed that rhein is also effective against Candida albicans (yeast infection), fever and inflammation,
and pain.
Caution: As with other sources of food and remedies that contain soluble fiber, such as slippery elm
bark, Ojibwa tea can interfere with the absorption of other medicines within the gut if they are taken at the
same time. As such, take prescription medications at an alternate time to consuming this tea.

Lapacho (Pau D’ Arco)
An Amazing Incan Herbal Remedy
South American physicians are using a recipe derived from the ancient civilization of the Incas to
successfully treat various forms of cancer—including leukemia and other life-threatening diseases. They
use the inner bark of the Lapacho Colorado Tree, or Red Lapacho—called so because of its scarlet
flowers. Also known as Pau d’Arco, Ipe Roxa and Taheebo, the red Lapacho tree grows in the warmer
parts of South America: Brazil, northern Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, etc. The tree apparently only
grows where there is high ozone content in the air, with high concentrations of vital negative oxygen ions.
It is virtually free of contaminants caused by pollutants such as pesticides or exhaust fumes.
The tree has vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers—pink, purple, or yellow, depending on the species. The
Lapacho tree with the purple flowers has the most potency. The unusual thing about the flowers is that
they are carnivorous and eat insects, protecting the tree against pests, parasites, viral infections, and
fungal growth.
The power of the tree lies in the inner bark. It can be removed without damage, dried, from which an
extract is obtained. The tree renews its bark and, therefore, serves as a continuous supply source. The
active ingredient is known as Lapacho. The herbal remedy is valued for its ability to strengthen and
balance the body’s immune system. With all the herbal cures and the treasures the Incas left us, there
appears to be none as precious as Lapacho, which their descendants—the Callaway—are still using today.
Lapacho is commonly applied in the alternative treatment of cancer, AIDS, and Candida Albicans
overgrowth and other fungal problems as well as many other diseases of the immune system. Moreover,
Lapacho is highly valued for its ability to detoxify the body, particularly the liver, kidneys, and intestinal
tract. It also helps babies cope with food allergies and intestinal cramps. Research in South America on
Lapacho has shown it to help reduce counter-reactions to antibiotics and to allow other medicines to work
more effectively by reducing the danger of toxic effects on the liver.
Lapacho can be used safely along with other medicines and even minimize their side effects. I
personally have recommended it to thousands of people, with very good results, especially for infections.
Many medical doctors and dental surgeons now routinely prescribe Lapacho to their patients for infection
instead of giving them antibiotics. This herb seems to work both at the causal and symptomatic level,
which may explain the absence of side effects.
