Cancer Killing Non-GMO Super Herbs used by Native Americans for Centuries

Skin cancer can be killed using the following non- GMO homeopathic herbs. These herbs are native throughout North America and have been used by Native Americans for centuries. Sanguinaria canadensis, or bloodroot, is of the family Papaveraceae. Topically, it is used to remedy skin afflictions and is known for its cancer killing properties. Calendula officinalis (marigold) and Echinacea angustifolia (coneflower) are both of the daisy family Asteraceae/Compositae. Marigold is a detoxifying agent as well as a remedy for genotoxicity (genetic mutations and cancer). Echinacea is known to be an immune system booster and a cancer killing antioxidant. These non-GMO herbs can be found in the form of topical salves at www.puremedy.com. After a nasty spot appeared on my boyfriend's shoulder I applied the salve once a day. Just after the first day it started healing. A dermatologist later confirmed that the spot was melanoma, and that he had never seen anything kill melanoma the way the salve had. The information above can be used to further research the following herbs and their medicinal properties.

The Nursery is Growing!

A Growing Nursery

Mother plant in bloom
Note: the mother plant is the only plant recorded
to produce blooms so far. October 2014

Over the past few months, the Aloe Nursery has grown impressively. Eleven sexually mature plants have joined the mother plant in the nursery, expanding class three from a quantity of 1 to a quantity of 12. More than ten new pups are emerging vigorously from the class one plants, comprising class one. Only three Aloe plants, those that have already been separated from their mother, have yet to reach sexual maturity-these in between plants will make up class two.

After nearly a year, the nursery has almost doubled in size (compare photos below). Only three of the smallest transplantees from the beginning of the year did not make it-they were separated from their mother plant too soon and proved to be too premature.

Update On Experiment II: Aloe Oil

Aloe Oil

experiment II

New maceration bottle to be used in making Aloe Oil.
Note the small neck and "shoulders" of the bottle.

The latest experiment, experiment II, will have to be restarted due to molding. The same procedure will take place as before, with two major adjustments: 1) usage of a different maceration container,and 2) the addition of a small amount of alcohol poured on top of the maceration solution, prior to capping. The use of a differently shaped glass container with "shoulders" and a small neck will not only help keep plant materials submerged, but will also allow for the easy application of a small amount of alcohol on top of the solution to prevent molding. 

After the Aloe oil is made, it will be added to three other oil mixtures: one for hair, one for the body, and one for the face. Trials will follow afterward and will be compared to the prior trial in experiment I

Custom oil mixtures for hair, body, and face. The Aloe Oil will be added to
 these custom mixtures after production and trials will proceed.

Aloe Vera Oil: understanding preservation and maceration techniques

Aloe Oil

experiment II

Aloe macerating in sunflower oil

Understanding preservation of extracted Aloe

After more research I discovered that once aloe is extracted from the plant it begins to lose its potency within as little as two hours. Prevention of oxidation and light exposure is key, aloe will begin to turn a pinkish color and proceed to brown when it begins to oxidize. This happens when aloe is left out in the open at room temperature or warmer. Refrigeration is the best way to preserve the aloe: fillets are best kept in an airtight container, preferably dark glass; if the gel is to be eaten or applied directly to the skin it is best kept refrigerated in an airtight container in its whole leaf form. Refrigeration will preserve maximum potency for two to three weeks. 

Understanding maceration (cold infusion of oil)

As mentioned above, heat destroys the medicinal potency of aloe vera. This is something I was not aware of during my first Aloe oil experiment (experiment I). This second experiment will explore the method of maceration-a type of "cold" infusion of oils. Since aloe can not be heated, the liquid from the gel must be extracted by other means. Maceration requires soaking the desired plant material in a base oil, thus extracting the oil soluble components of the aloe into the base oil while still preserving its quality-no heat required. A stable base oil should be a virgin cold pressed oil. I found sunflower oil to be one of the more stable oils available on the market for a reasonable price. Sunflower oil is also naturally high in Vitamin E, the vitamin acts as a natural preservative and is also very important for restoring skin. I filleted a dozen aloe leaves into a glass container and poured in just enough sunflower oil to cover the top of the fillets. Using a minimum amount of base oil will provide for a more dominant ratio of aloe to sunflower components. I covered the container with its airtight lid and put it in the refrigerator. I will let it sit for about three weeks, checking and stirring it occasionally.

Aloe Oil Trials: Face and Hair

After several weeks of using the Aloe and coconut oil blend I have seen an impressive amount of improvement in both my hair and complexion.

Hair:
My hair is long, thick, and wavy. Damage includes coloring (my hair has never been bleached), the repeated use of a flat iron and curler, sun exposure, split ends, rough cuticle, breakage, and the dreaded frizz. The outermost layer of my hair suffers the most from frizz and brittleness while the underside remains healthy and smooth.
I used the Aloe oil mostly on the ends and outermost layer of my hair. The oil helped seal in the cuticle, making hair smooth and shiny; but maybe a little too shiny. The oil proved to be heavy, so it was used sparingly. As the weeks went by the frizz became much more manageable and I noticed less breakage. The oil could be lighter, so as to not weigh down hair and leave a more mattee sheen.

Face:
In the evenings I wipe my face down with the same Aloe oil blend, massaging it into the skin and wisking it away with a damp cottonball. This lifts away most of the dirt, so the soap can penetrate deep into the pores instead of battling grime stuck on the surface.
I have very acne prone, oily skin. Damage includes distressed and blemished skin and the need to correct skin tone. After weeks of using this oil every night and sometimes in the morning I noticed an amazing improvement. The oil did not clog pores as one might expect, but did the exact opposite. It soothed redness and evened out pigment discoloration. Scars left behind are beginning to fade and my complexion is looking smoother overall. Breakouts have become more manageable due to the deep pore clensing the oil is able to accomplish and skin is even starting to appear firmer.
To battle my oily complexion I have begun to use a jojaba oil and lemon extract blend in the mornings (after the Aloe blend if I decide to use the Aloe oil in the morning). The jojaba helps control excessive oil production by glands and the lemon extract evens out skintone.

I was so impressed by how the oils worked that I have decided to tweak my original recipie and blend three specially customized Aloe oils to meet the needs of my face, body, and hair.

Aloe Oil: Second Straining Process

experiment I

Aloe Oil: second
filtration process using
coffee filter

I filtered the Aloe Oil for the second time using a coffee filter taped to a small bowl. While gradually pouring the oil into the coffee filter, I was careful not to pour in too much at one time. The second straining process was much slower than the first, lasting about one hour.  The coffee filter filtrated the oil at a drip pace but managed to remove all the particles still left behind after the first straining. The final product resulted in just over 4 oz of all natural Aloe Vera Oil with a coconut oil base. The excess oil has been stored in an airtight container for later refill usage.

Leftover Aloe pieces after being
cooked and strained. The
 pieces resemble a texture
similar to that of onion rings.

After the Aloe pulp and coconut oil set for 3 days, I removed the mixture from it's container and simmered it for 50 min on low heat (electric burner notches 2-3)until the it stopped bubbling. The gel pieces shrank in size by the end of the heating process, turning crispy like onion rings. I let the mixture stand for one hour to allow it to return to room temperature. A small, tightly woven mesh strainer was used to filter the oil. Tomorrow I will filter it one more time with a coffee filter to remove any small remaining particles. The 4 aloe leaves plus 200 mL of coconut oil yielded approx. 4 fluid oz of Aloe Oil.

The larger specks are remaining aloe product.)
