Forbidden Cures and Underground Medicine • 31Pao pereira has already demonstrated that it’s toxic to cancer cells in other
studies, but this is the first time this extract has really been looked at for its
effect on prostate cancer cells specifically.
Applied to a line of cultured cancer cells, the extract significantly sup-
pressed cell growth (by 90% as early as 24 hours after exposure!) and caused
cancer cells to die. It also caused a significant decrease in overall tumor size.
Surprisingly, the greatest effect on tumor growth occurred at the lower doses
of pao pereira tested on mice. At doses of 10 and 20mg/kg per day, tumor vol-
ume was reduced by 80% and 75%, respectively. Researchers aren’t quite sure
why this is, but think it may be due to gastrointestinal effects at higher doses.
Researchers also suggested that, because Pao pereira has tumor-suppressing activi-
ty without toxicity, it can be used to prevent cancer, not just as a treatment for it.^3
And Rauwolfia vomitoria is just as impressive. In one trial, it was shown to
suppress the growth of cancer cells. In another, it decreased tumor volume in
mice by 58-70% depending on dose (7.5-75 mg/kg) over a 72-hour period.^4
Overall, research has shown that Pao pereira extract more potently induces
cell death than the Rauwolfia vomitoria extract. But the Rauwolfia extract is
more successful at inhibiting cell cycle progression of prostate cancer cells—
meaning it hampers their ability to grow and divide. So, these two make a
more or less perfect pair in the Prostabel formula.
His doctor called his progress “a miracle”
The clinical trials are one thing, but what really speaks to me is the feed-
back being sent to Natural Source. Men are writing in from all over to share
how Prostabel has, really, given them new leases on life. Here are just a few of
the stories they’ve seen:
Ronald Limsin got the awful news after a biopsy in 2003—adenocarino-
ma of the prostate. His urologist thought he best solution would be surgery,
but Ronald refused. While he did undergo radiation treatments, he took Pao
pereira and Rauwolfia vomitoria (Natural Source also sells them separately
from the Prostabel blend). His PSA was lowered to 1.82—a decrease expected
to continue. His doctor called it a miracle, and when he wrote to Natural
Source in 2007, Ronald was still doing well.
When Joe Mirelli was 70, he watched his PSA, already at a high 19, shoot
up to 39 in a short time. His doctor diagnosed a mild adenoma of the prostate,
and Joe turned to Prostabel. His situation rapidly improved. He’s now 87 and
says everything is going well in terms of his prostate. He gardens every day
and is very active.
