Amazonian plant extract causes cancer cells to commit suicide and T4 Cells to thrive!

Hello to all my friends on Current. I want to tell you about something that is frankly unbelievable. However, I am living proof of the efficacy of this plant extract because I have survived for over 30 years living with HIV. When I was first introduced to this plant in 1995, it was in a dried form and was used to make a tea that I would drink on prescribed doses for several weeks. At the time I began treatment with it, I had a T4 cell count of less than 5. A normal T4 cell range is between 1000 and 1500. My infectious disease specialist here in Eugene, Oregon had told me that I was on borrowed time and that I should make preparations to die. Of course I was desperate and wanted to find a Magic Bullet that could save my life, being that the only drugs available at the time was AZT and a few other experimental drugs; all of which carried with them extreme toxicity and could actually kill the patient.

My aunt in Ecuador, had heard about this doctor of Oncology who was doing research on Cancer and HIV in Ecuador after realizing during his residency at a university in Mexico, that most of the Chemotherapy drugs that had gained FDA approval through clinical trials had their origins in natural plants. He decided to continue his work, upon returning to Ecuador by contacting the indigenous tribes in the Amazon and asking them to reveal to him which plants they commonly used for healing.

To anyone who isn't familiar with the Amazon in Ecuador, it is where the Amazon river begins its journey across the South American continent to the Atlantic Ocean. The Amazon jungle is the most biodiverse region in the world with well over 40,000 plant species. The indigenous people of the Amazon have lived there for thousands of years and their Shaman have passed down considerable knowledge of which plants were beneficial for which types of ailments.

So during this doctors research he was introduced to the plant which led to his amazing discovery. He began testing the plant on patients as early as 1989. What immediately became apparent was that only a certain part of the plant was usable and didn't have a toxicity that would hurt the patient. So he gradually came up with a way of harvesting the roots of the plant in order to create a tea and later an extract that contained the most bioactive aspects with the least toxicity. The final product that he developed and patented, worldwide, is completely natural and has absolutely no side effects because it is a carbohydrate of an extremely low molecular weight. It is derived from the plant Solanum Dulcamara. This plant grows wild in the Amazon jungle.

Dr. Edwin Cevallos Arellano from Quito, Ecuador is a doctor of Oncology and Immunology who has studied at the University of Mexico in Mexico City as well as the Military Hospital in Quito Ecuador and other places. He has traveled the world talking about the discovery and efficacy of his synthesized extract from this amazing plant. He has given speeches at Medical Congresses in Canada, Spain, Japan and other places showing the medical evidence of the miraculous recovery of patients who were on Death's Doorstep due to Cancer, Lupus and AIDS who were treated with the extract.

Studies were conducted by Universities in Miami, Florida and Birmingham, Alabama that confirmed the findings of Dr. Cevallos. Patients of his, who had traveled to see him from other parts of the world, were coming back from the brink of death and their doctors in their countries were amazed. They wanted to know what had happened to their patients and discovered that their patients had been treated with the extract. This is how these studies came to be undertaken.

Well I was extremely fortunate to have met Dr. Cevallos on a trip to Ecuador in 1995 and he prescribed the tea, the form it was in that year, and I brought it home with me and began to take it. Things started to change for me almost immediately. I began to feel more energy and I was more mobile. (continued)

    • Very inspiring, Jubal. Thank you so much for sharing.
      There is no doubt that a cure for many ailments exist and pharmacuticals keep much of it suppressed. Wouldn't want to keep people healthy...that would upset the "bottom line."
      Nature has so much to give us, and rather than respect what she has to offer, we destroy her where ever we go.

      My new partner's former love is an Infectious Disease specialist. When news of BIRM and the studies in Miami and Birmingham came out in 2002 in New York where they lived, my partner asked him why something like that was not allowed to be reviewed by the FDA for approval. His partner, lets call him John, told him that hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake. The pharmaceutical research industry could not be put "out of business" because of some Amazon plant extract. That would be criminal.

      What is criminal is that natural remedies are suppressed in favor of chemicals created in a laboratory. That is what is criminal.

      Thank you csmonut for your kind comments.

      In the late 1980's big pharma bought up almost all Glandular producing companies , and quadrupled their prices , to put them out of business . There is nothing they will not do to protect their bottom line . I was very sad to see people become dependent on drugs , where they had more control over their health before . Plants cannot be patented . All corporate entities become an enemy of life , because in order to profit from it , THEY must have total control . Watch them try to patent parts of the human genome .... they really are that deranged . http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/10/1013_051013_gene_patent.html

    • Jubal;

      It is very fortunate you came upon this when you did, otherwise this world may well have lost a man of incredible inner strength, wisdom, and grace. I wholeheartedly believe you and have always thought the cures to all the world's and our ills were locked in the Amazon rainforest. This is one reason why we need to advocate strongly for the rights of indigenous peoples and protect these lands. You speak of the Amazon in Ecuador and all I can now think of is the irreversible damage to it done by Chevron and other oil companies of its mysteries, its waters, and its magic, and the pushing forward of companies like Monsanto and other companies in chopping it all down for profit and spreading their toxic GMOs. We may well have already destroyed thousands of species of plants that had medicinal qualities to save lives, all for the dollar bill. It is for sure a trade off that shows the deterioration of humanity. Your story however is inspiring, fascinating, and hopeful for humanity and I thank you for sharing it. My mom died of cancer when I was 17 and I will never get over the effect it had on me. Had I only known of this, even at 17 I would have walked and swam my way to the Amazon to get this to save her. You are indeed a blessed man. Thank you as well for all of this information. I will be sure to check it all out.

      Yeah. I'm just as skeptical as bombastinator.

      Look people. The whole "pharmaceutical companies don't want a cure for cancer because it will kill their business" is a bunch of phony. How about we sit down like civilized people and do some free thinking.

      There are hundreds of thousand of deaths each year from cancer, and many many more cases of cancer. If there is a cure for cancer, how do you think patients will get it? Charity? Friends? That homeless guy down the alley? Wrong.

      Guess who will continue to profit millions of dollars by selling the CANCER CURE. Yep. The pharmaceutical companies.

      I agree there are many corrupt companies out there, including the pharmaceutical companies, but you're telling me that if someone finds a cure that these companies will be able to hide it from the rest of the world. You forget that there are a lot of other countries in the world that don't have as corrupt health systems as the United States and if there was a cure for cancer, it would be widespread and commonly used in these countries, and trust me, we would find out about it if France's cancer rates were 95% lower than ours.

      Look, I am not an AD as you suggest, I am a real human being and I have been living with HIV for over 30 years. Everything I wrote about my experience, my testimony is the absolute truth. If you don't believe it, I would only give you proof if you were seriously interested in knowing the truth. I don't cast my pearls before swine.

      I gave a bottle away to a friend of mine who owns a chain of Mexican fast food restaurants. I had gone in there one day to get one of their Breakfast Burritos when I notice the owner crying while she was cleaning up. I asked her what was wrong and she confided in me that she had already undergone chemotherapy and two surgeries for cancer. She was crying because she has five children and was recently told that her cancer showed signs of returning. He cancer had metastasized. I shared with her my story and told her I would give her a bottle of the concentrated version. It last for up to three months.

      I didn't see my friend for two months, I didn't know what had happened to her. Then this one day I ran into her at another one of her locations, and immediately I noticed that she was smiling. I asked her how the medicine worked for her, if it did anything for her condition. She told me that she felt better than ever, she had more energy, her lumps were gone, and her doctors had told her that her cancer seemed to be in remission. She asked me where she could get more, and I told her that it was available in Ecuador, but that I didn't know if there were any companies bringing it into the US.

      I have since learned that there are a couple, but they only bring in the "simple" version , not the concentrated one.

      Did you even read the part about the apoptosis of the cancer cells in Wikipedia?

      I can assure you, as Jan can attest, that I am not an ad nor do I have any financial interest in this BIRM.

      Jan, thank you so much for your very kind words. I wish my grandmother could have had this too, but she alas was 101 and her mind had gone at 96 from the Alzheimer disease.

      I have not read in any of Cevallos literature if anyone had reported that this BIRM was effective with Alzheimer, but when I travel there in April to see him, I will surely ask.

      Jan, it is so true what you said about the devastation of Chevron to the Amazon in Ecuador. The indigenous tribes there are constantly fighting to preserve their native lands and they always point out that the biodiversity there is a world treasure that, if destroyed, would be a tragic loss to the entire planet.

      If you are unfamiliar with how mega corporations can crush and bury information and innovation in the name of money, you are the one who needs to do some free thinking!

      Artemis, the problem is, as Dr. Cevallos says in his interview, that the fruit of the plant and other parts can be toxic to humans, The best source for the extract is from the roots. He also mentions that the extraction process has to be done carefully because over heating it can damage its curative properties.

      He states that since BIRM has gained notoriety, many people have tried to copy what he has done by claiming that they are selling you, in Ecuador, the Dulcamara plant, but they are in fact, not the same as the specific variety he uses. My father in fact took a trip down there, and a family member gave him a couple plants, small ones that he brought back in his luggage, telling him that it was Solanum Dulcamara, but when I look at all the pictures of the plant on internet, especially the one I posted at the top, my father's plants do not look anything like it.

      The plants he has look more like a very unusual succulent plant, similar to Aloe Vera, but with broad leaves. It gives babies on the tips of the leaves and they can be clipped and rooted.

      Commonly birds eat the fruits of the plant and since the seeds are not digestible, they poop them out and that is how the plant is spread around. The fruit is like eating holly berries, they can make you sick.

      I think one would need to know the precise way the extract is made before undertaking "growing it yourself" to avoid any of the unpleasant or possibly toxic effects of the plant.

      Yes, Artemis, it is the same plant. Solanum Dulcama, or climbing nightshade.

      It grows in many, many zones. I am not completely familiar with its origin, but I read that the seeds and fruit were found in Roman archaeological digs, as well as in the tomb of Tutankhamen along side other well known medicinals such as Cannabis and Hogs-wort.

      and even she wasn't as insane as this . 8 full page long comments in a row on his own post all of which read like a hard sell marketing campaign. If there is a chemical in this plant that does what he says it is likely being researched.

      The assumption that his health benfits are from drinking this tea is totally anecdotal, and assumed to boot. There is not a shred of real evidence there except that this guy really really runs off at the mouth.

      Some people on this site can be such callous pricks.

    • Solanum Dulcamara is a relative of the tomato, the potato, and the eggplant. It is in the Nightshade family.

      Remember it is a carbohydrate that has an immunomodulation effect on the immune system.

    • Cancer cell suicide is called apoptosis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apoptosis for a full explanation of this phenomenon. But basically.....

      Programmed cell death involves a series of biochemical events leading to a characteristic cell morphology and death; in more specific terms, a series of biochemical events that lead to a variety of morphological changes, including blebbing, changes to the cell membrane such as loss of membrane asymmetry and attachment, cell shrinkage, nuclear fragmentation, chromatin condensation, and chromosomal DNA fragmentation (1-4). (See also Apoptosis DNA fragmentation.) Processes of disposal of cellular debris whose results do not damage the organism differentiate apoptosis from necrosis.

      In the studies conducted at the University of Miami on prostate cancer, using this new extract called BIRM, it was discovered that BIRM has this affect on cancer cells. It causes them to commit suicide. Dr. Cevallos has been contacted by many pharmaceutical companies from the United States, India, Russia, and France. All wanting to purchase his patent. But Dr. Cevallos remains resolute not to sell his patent, because the contracts under which these companies offer to purchase his patent is a clause that states that the company could choose to not produce the product for market and could actually bury it.

      Dr. Cevallos is committed to having Ecuador be recognized for this amazing discovery, and that the product not be kept from the public. He is embattled and under attack from many fronts that are trying to suppress this medicine, because in Ecuador, this medicine sells for around $30 a bottle which represents around a one month supply. He has been told that his product would never gain FDA approval because, FDA approved drugs require "millions of dollars of investment and years of study and research before they can be approved."

      So he markets the product as a natural supplement. It is not widely available on the internet, and you cannot easily purchase it in its concentrated form, which is the best. The best way to get a hold of it is to travel to Ecuador and purchase it at the pharmacies there.

      Below I am going to post video interview with Dr. Cevallos and links to stories, but they are in Spanish. So if you have a means to translate the text parts, please do so. Or if you have someone to interpret for you, please do. You will be amazed at how revolutionary discovery this extract really is. And you will begin to understand the politics that are entrenched and keep amazing medicines such as BIRM from the mainstream.

      It reminds me of the war on Marijuana in the world, because THC has been also demonstrated to cause cancer cells to die.

    • I continued to take the antivirals until my body became resistant to the combination and my viral load started to climb again into the hundreds of thousands, and my T4cell count began to drop again down to 150. My doctor ordered a then extremely expensive test that was done back then, only in Belgium. Blood samples were shipped there and the test was done exposing my blood to every known HIV medication, approved and experimental, and a report was sent back to the doctor with a recommendation for which medications would still work on me.

      She reformulated my "cocktail" and put me on a triple Protease Inhibitor Combination. This combination didn't last long for me but perhaps two years. This combination once again lowered my viral load to undetectable and my T4cell count stabilized at around 175, but I started to develop a particularly damaging side effect called lipodystrophy and peripheral neuropathy. In plain English it meant that I was on the verge of having a heart attack, my cholesterol level had skyrocketed, and I had developed numbness in my feet, hands, and lips.

      This is when I had to go onto my third drug "cocktail" combination. A new Protease Inhibitor had been approved that promised to not have the same side effects as its predecessors and so I began to take the new "cocktail", the same cocktail I have been on since 2002. With this new cocktail I did not only have a continued undetectable viral load, but I also experienced an increase in T4cells that gradually climbed to around 275 and remained somewhat constant, fluctuating between 250 to 285. But I never seemed to be able to go much beyond that.

      Well in 2007, I returned to Ecuador and was shopping one day with my father in the pharmacy when I stumbled upon the medicine that Dr. Cevallos had prescribed to me back in 1995, only this time it was on the pharmacy shelf, with the same name of BIRM, only it was now an extract and it had stabilizers to give it a long shelf life, almost two years. I was truly amazed that Dr. Cevallos had finally brought his product to market. I purchased several bottles of the medicine and brought it back with me to the United States. I began to use the product once again. What happened in the years that followed is truly amazing. My T4Cell count began to rise, from 285 to 300, to 350, to 400, to 450 and then to 511. I had finally broken through to a higher count, still with an undetectable viral load, but now into the 500's.

      I firmly believe it is because of this extract that my count has climbed and continues to climb and remain stable just above and below 500.

      Dr. Cevallos has patients who have achieved even higher numbers with treatment of this medicine. The bottles I had have since run out, but I am going to make another trip to Ecuador and purchase more so I can continue to use it. But what about the cancer cells committing suicide? Well continue on and you will read the amazing story I am going to tell you.

    • The next morning I awoke to the sound of birds outside my hospital window. I could hear footsteps in the corridors outside my room and I could hear voices of people talking. The terrible noise, like static from a radio or TV set not tuned to a channel, was gone from my mind. I felt complete serenity. My fever was gone. I was practically speechless and amazed.

      My mother noticed that I looked better, she touched my forehead and then rang for the attending physician. She promptly came in along with a nurse and they examined me and took my vital signs; temperature - normal 98.6 degrees, blood pressure - normal 111 over 76, heart rate 68 beats per minute. With the exception of the weight loss and the fever blisters, I was completely normal. They were astounded. My mother was astounded. I just smiled.

      Within an hour or two the doctor came back into the room and announced that I would be released from the hospital the next day. My fever was gone, and they "needed the room for another patient." I was assigned to a new Primary Care doctor and was sent home. In the days that followed, I regained some weight and my strength. I started to feel good again. I was also tested for my T4cells again and they began to climb....from 5 to 10 to 50 and then to 100 within weeks. I continued drinking the tea until I had exhausted the three containers I had purchased from Dr. Cevallos. Within a year, my T4cell count was at around 150.

      My new doctor pleaded with me to begin taking the new drugs that had recently been approved called Protease Inhibitors, and other experimental drugs in a combination therapy that they called HAART, highly active anti retroviral therapy - the "drug cocktail". I complied and gave them a go. I had extreme side effects including nausea, diarrhea, burning sensations in my blood stream, headaches, dizziness, and nightmares. I stayed on that initial combination for only a couple of months and then quit. I told the doctor I couldn't take those harsh chemicals anymore.

      Then I met a woman who had AIDS who was taking a combination that she seemed to tolerate rather well. By this time it was 1998. My T4Cell count was still around 150. I asked my doctor to put me on her combination. My body tolerated it well, too and my viral load began to plummet, from millions, to hundreds of thousands, to thousands, and then eventually to undetectable by the year 2000. It was truly a miracle to be at an undetectable level. By 2001, my T4Cell count had reached 200. And I had forgotten about the tea, having moved on to chemotherapy drugs being offered to me by my doctors in the United States.

    • It was a truly out of body experience for me, because I was aware of my body in the bed in the hospital but I was also standing in line to get on the ship in this beautiful island paradise, or so I presumed. When I got to the front of the line, I was asked for my name. The purser told me that I wasn't on the list. I became agitated. I demanded that they look again. The smiled and told me that there was no mistake, my name had to be on the list or I would not be allowed to board the ship. I became livid. I returned immediately to my body in the hospital bed and asked my mother for my check book.

      My mother was startled by my request and said "Honey, why do you need your check book, your in the hospital." But I wasn't going to be deterred. I replied to her in a very angry tone, "Give me my goddamn fucking check book!" She reached over, pulled a tissue out of the tissue box and handed it to me. In my lucid state, all I saw was a fresh check upon which to write. I made out the check for every penny I had in my bank account, which at that time was around 15K, as I had sold my house, my car, and practically everything I owned and converted it into cash so I could have money to go on a round the world trip, since I was "inevitably going to die" due to my extremely reduced T4Cell count.

      I went back to the front of the line for the Cruise Ship and threw the check down before the purser and demanded to be let on the ship saying "here is every penny I have in the bank, let me on the damn ship."

      The purser was not moved by my demand, he smiled handed me back the check and said "It doesn't matter how much money you have, if your name is not on the list, you cannot board. Next!"

      I was flabbergasted and then suddenly disillusioned. I began to sob. I sobbed so hard that I couldn't speak. The vision disappeared and I was back in the bed at that hospital, sobbing uncontrollably. My mother became alarmed and asked me what was wrong, but I couldn't say a word, the only thing that came out of me was howling, sobbing, and tons of snot and mucus. After what seemed like an eternity, I finally said to her, "Their not going to take me with them" and continued sobbing, until I fell asleep.

    • Keep in mind that my T4 cell count was less than 5. My viral load was in the millions. My immune system had been completely destroyed, due to the fact that HIV had been doing its dirty work in my body since my teens. When I was diagnosed with AIDS in 1993, I had already had HIV for over 15 years. Friends of mine had already died. I was on death's doorstep.

      Well, after taking the tea for almost one month, I suddenly developed a very high fever of 106 degrees. I went to the hospital and was immediately admitted. My infectious disease specialist attended me at the hospital and he ordered an onslaught of tests, CT Scan, Ultrasound, a barrage of blood tests, a spinal tap, urine analysis, and others. Meanwhile my fever of 106 was relentless, I received Tylenol every 4 hours to reduce the fever, along with ice packs and cool towels to help lower the fever. My fever would go down to around 102 but quickly spike back up to 106 in less than two hours. I started to dehydrate and was completely unable to eat any food. I was given bags and bags of saline. In the two weeks I was hospitalized, I lost over 30 pounds of body weight and was covered with fever blisters on over 35% of my body.

      At one point, after many days of tests and prolonged fever, my Specialist came into my room and asked me if I had any idea of what might be causing the fever, because, as an infectious disease specialist who had studied diseases in Africa, he could not come up with a single thing that made sense. He told me something had caused my immune system to go into overload and he couldn't figure out what had caused it.

      My mother and I told him about the tea that had been prescribed to me by Dr. Cevallos, but my specialist laughed at us and told us that in no way would a tea activate the immune system in the way that my immune system had been activated. My mother became upset with the doctor and asked him to step outside into the hallway. Several minutes later my mother came back into my room and announced that the Specialist was no longer going to be my doctor, she fired him. She said that he told her that I was inevitably going to die and that she should be prepared for it by asking family members to come and say their goodbyes. I was resigned to die in that hospital.

      But something amazing happened to me that I will never forget. On the twelfth day of my hospitalization, as I was lying practically comatose from the fever, I had a dream, a hallucination, or a vision. I saw a beautiful paradise scene beyond shattered walls of the hospital room, shattered walls that looked as though they had been blown apart by a huge explosion. I saw a gleaming white cruise ship and people waiting in line to get on board. All I knew is that I wanted to get on that ship.
