ECARMA HERBAL - ImmunElixir Plus The Philippine Narra Tree (Pterocarpus indicus, Willd)

When we talk of the Philippine Narra tree (Pterocarpus indicus Willd), we speak of ornamental avenue tree or the excellent highly prized reddish, rose-scented timber regarded for its beauty and termite resistant quality for furniture and building purposes. But an eventful mistake in 1991 led to the discovery of Narras immense healing power by Virgilio V. Ecarma, a reserve Lieutenant Colonel of the Philippine Air Force and former Philippine Airlines Boeing 747-400 Captain. Exasperated with the temporary relief gained from the prescribed medicines by physicians to his rheumatoid arthritis, he searched for alternative cure when he stumbled into the medicinal properties of the Philippine Narra tree by pure accident. He boiled the cut Narra branches and bark scrapings of what he mistakenly thought was the much published Mahogany tree for his arthritis. He drank a glassful of the decoction from Narra and in a few hours he felt the decrease in pain. The next day the pain was almost gone and the day after, it was totally gone. He gave the same decoction to his brother-in-law who was suffering from diabetes with a persistent eczema on his foot. To their surprise his brother-in-law's blood sugar became normal and unrelenting itch was gone. This experience led him to finance the scientific validation of the Narra tree as a safe medicinal plant. Philippine Narra has undergone the scientific validation processes of medicinal plants for primary health care. The study made by the Industrial Technology Development Institute of the Department of Science and Technology on the Philippine Narra Tree (Pterocarpus indicus Willd) revealed Acute Lethal Dosage 50 percent (LD50) to be safe at 283 g/kg which is much higher than some known medicinal plants like Ampalaya (Momordica Charantia) 38.72 g/kg, Sambong (Blumea balsmifera L.) 62.65 g/kg, Bayabas (Psidium guajava L.) 85.11 g/kg, and Lagundi (Vitex negundo) 130 g/kg. The Mutagenicity Test conducted by the Bio-Organic Laboratory, Institute of Chemistry, University of the Philippines, headed by Dr. Clara Lim - Syliangco, Ph.D., showed the absence of mutagenic components that can alter DNA structure that may cause cancer. This study proved that the Philippine Narra Tree is non-mutagenic. Finally, the Subchronic Toxicity Test done by The Department of Pharmacology, College of Medicine, University of the Philippines further stress the non-existence of adverse reaction to the vital organs and other bodily processes of experimental animals after it was given Narra for long period of time. The clinical studies conducted by Dr. Chuchi Quijano at Mactan, Cebu, Philippines showed that Philippine Narra has the ability lower the blood sugar of diabetes mellitus patients, to alleviate the inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis sufferers. Patient's urinary stones were washed away with their urine.

Cancer
The immune system attacks and destroy not only pathogenic microbes and other foreign substances but also cancer cells. A cancer cell does not respond to the body's normal mechanism for controlling cell growth and reproduction and continues to grow and grow and can invade and alter the functions of an organ or put pressure on the surrounding tissues which may result in a wide variety of medical problems. Most of the protection of the body against cancer is carried out by the cells of the immune system. This is exemplified by an astounding statistic that cancer is 100 times more likely to occur in persons who take drugs that suppress the immune system such as those who received donated organs or those with autoimmune disorders. To improve the immune system's capacity to identify and eliminate cancer, scientists have developed biologic immune systems response modifiers. These modifiers stimulates the immune system to produce more and aggressive tumor killing cells or make the tumor more susceptible to the immune response. It may also the improve the body's tolerance to radiation therapy or chemotherapy. The Philippine Narra tree which is the only ingredient of the ECARMA HERBAL ImmunElixir Plus has been researched on its anti-cancer properties. Endo and Miyasake (1972) reported that the dried cold water extract of the leaves injected in mice significantly inhibited the growth of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells in mice. Three of the the phytochemical components of the Philippine Narra tree -ISOLIQUIRITIGENIN, PTEROSTILBEN and PTEROCARPIN - has been researched extensively for its anticancer properties from other plant isolates. Many researches were done on Isoliquiritigenin from other plant isolates:

PTEROSTILBEN prevented a type of cell damage that is normally induced by cancer causing agent. PTEROSTILBEN is equal in potency to resveratrol as a cancer-preventive agent. PTEROSTILBEN is shown to be toxic to human breast cancer cell line. PTEROSTILBEN can lower blood glucose by 42% comparable to at least one known antidiabetic agent (metformin). PTEROSTILBEN has a high antioxidant activity. PTEROSTILBEN appears to be 60 to 100 times more potent as a fungicide

Research done on PTEROCARPIN by Dr. Morrow's group, UD, Chemistry Dept. has found its potential as a therapeutic tumor suppressant and anti-HIV agent. Thousands of people with cancer have already been helped by our product. The beneficial health effects can be felt in a few weeks when you will feel and see improvements in your health. It will not be long when you will feel and see more improvements. It is suggested that you avoid eating foods that can help the cancer cells develop new blood vessels (angiogenesis) such as eggs and milk. Eat more organically grown vegetables and fruits. The recommended dosage as a food supplement is two (2) capsules ofECARMA HERBAL ImmunElixir Plus three (3) times a day taken after meals. The Plus is if you are also suffering from the other numerous diseases mentioned, it will also help you overcome those diseases at the same time and it will also strengthen your immune system for good health and improve your sexual vigor, vitality, and fertility.
