Recent letter... Besides the remarkable reports that are forwarded to me regularly
I get a heartwarming note or letter from an animal lover such as I.
These letters make my efforts worthwhile..."Tiger" is doing well ! Dear Roger,
Just wanted to let you know how my cat "Tiger" is doing. I wrote to you a few weeks ago stated my cat had an abcessed tooth which was removed and after that started scratching his face until there was a big open wound that would not heal, it abcessed a couple of times. He is on a steroid shots for his mouth ulcers this is shuting his immune system down so he takes longer to heal than most cats.
I finally decided it was time to get out the Pau d'Arco to try on him as we had tried everything else without any results. I made the tea and put some luke warm tea on his wound and also added a little in his syringe with his antibiotic (1/2 cc antibiotic & 1 cc of Pau d'Arco tea) within one day I noticed the wound was not weeping and as inflamed. I continued putting the tea full strength on his face 3 times a day and continued him on his antibiotic/tea solution until he was through. One week later his wounds were looking so good the black skin that was covering his cheek (that the vet would say was going to fall off as it was dead skin) had regenerated and was looking healthy. It is now three weeks from the time we started the Pau d'Arco treatment and his face is looking wonderful and the fur has almost all grown back.
I just want to say thank you so much for saving Tiger if we did not know about Pau d'Arco I cannot imagine what state he would be in today.
Thank you again so much
Kindest regards - Lori A.

Josip Gabre
This article was written years ago and some of the details have been updated, such as boiling the tea for 20 minutes. Another interesting story added to my files... Has Cancer Already Been Cured? Josip Gabre says "Yes!" The 67-year-old Mississauga man claims that Taheebo (also known as Lapacho, Pau d'arco and Ipe Poto) cured him of cancer in 1984.
Taheebo is an herbal tea made from the bark of Taheebo tree of Andes mountains. This tea, in concert with a vegetarian diet and meditation, were the keys to overcoming a cancer that has spread throughout his body.
In his book, "How I Beat Cancer and How You Can Prevent It" (ISBN 0-9693941-0-1, published by TriWit, available at Smithbooks nationally), Gabre describes how he contracted a small cancer in his bladder in July 1983. His urologist, Dr. Andres Bruce at the University of Toronto, prescribed a vaccine known a BCG which he injected into Mr. Gabre's penis. Soon after this treatment his entire bladder was filled with cancer and had to be removed. Mr. Gabre now wears a bag for the elimination of waste.
With cancer running rampant throughout his body, Gabre was told by his oncologist (cancer doctor) that chemotherapy was the best method of treatment. Gabre refused chemotherapy, feeling that it would kill him quicker than the cancer. He did consent to a series of radiation treatments but said there was no benefit from them.
The Taheebo tree's extract is claimed to rejuvenate the immune system. In 1984 a friend gave Mr. Gabre an article describing the benefits of Taheebo. Gabre had always felt there must be a natural way of defeating his cancer and thought that Taheebo could be it. His miraculous victory over cancer astounded his oncologist, urologist and his family physician.
Gabre says that there is a certain way of preparing Taheebo which must be followed. Distilled or well filtered water must be used because it is free of heavy metals; metal pots shouldn't be used. Use Corning glass or similar utensils; bring one litre of water to the boiling point, then add Taheebo bark to the boiling water; boil it rapidly for five minutes; after five minutes, turn down the heat and simmer it for another twenty minutes. Allow the tea to settle and then strain it through a cheesecloth or paper coffee filter into a thermos bottle.
You can drink it hot, warm or cold but hot is the most beneficial. It if gets cold, it should never be reheated, but should be taken cold. Gabre notes that if it's taken while you are on chemotherapy or radiation treatment, the Taheebo might be ineffective.
I asked the Canadian Cancer Society (416-961-7223) whether they had heard of Taheebo and they referred me to the Cancer Information Services at 1-800-263-6750. The Cancer Information Services said they had heard of Taheebo but it was still listed as an unproven method of treating cancer.
The October 25, 1994 edition of the Toronto Star B1 and B3 had an article titled "Cures and Quackery." It describes a program started by the federal government to give out as much as a million dollars to cancer researchers for the investigation of alternative cancer treatments. The nine therapies to be studied are: Laetrile, Hydrazine Sulphate, Essiac, Iscador, vitamins, Green tea, 714x, oxygen therapy and shark cartilage. Taheebo won't be studied.
Mr. Gabre feels there is something sinister afoot when it comes to cancer research. He often quotes Dr. Linus Pauling who some years ago claimed that as long as there's a lot of money to be made in cancer research and the sale of chemotherapy drugs, cancer won't be cured. Perhaps Dr. Pauling never heard of Taheebo.
Gabre also speaks about Ralph Moss of New York City who wrote the book, "The Cancer Industry." It details the years he worked at Sloan-Kettering Cancer Institute and the duplicity he encountered there. Holistic cancer treatments were not accurately reported on by Sloan-Kettering and their disinformation campaign led Mr. Moss to leave their employ in the mid-70s.
Gabre continues to educate the public about Taheebo and his victory over cancer with speaking tours in Ontario. He hopes that one day herbal medicine will be the first choice of cancer patients throughout the world.

Did You See This? True Story... At Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington DC recently the sergeant Major of the Army, Jack Tilley, was with a group of people visiting the wounded soldiers. He saw a Special Forces soldier who had lost his right hand and suffered severe wounds of his face and side of his body. The SMA wanted to honor him and show him respect without offending, but what can you say or do in such a situation that will encourage and uplift? How do you shake the right hand of a soldier who has none? He decided to act as though the hand was not missing and gripped the soldier's wrist while speaking words of comfort and encouragement to him.
But there was another man in that group of visitors who had even brought his wife with him to visit the wounded who knew exactly what to do. This man reverently took the soldiers stump of a hand in both of his hands, bowed at the bedside and prayed for him. When he finished the prayer he stood up, bent over the soldier and kissed him on the head and told him that he loved him.
What a powerful expression of love for one of our wounded heroes! What kind of a man would kneel in such humility and submission? It was the wounded man's Commander-in-Chief, George W. Bush; a true leader.
This story was told by the SMA at a Soldiers Breakfast held at Red Arsenal, AL.
and recorded by Chaplain James Henderson, stationed there.
