Cancer Cures

We're not buying the "heavy calcium oxalate" tag for Viola. Gibbons does not caution on it for Viola though elsewhere he does caution for other plants. The vinegar dissolves calcium oxalate, though we wonder what it does to all that marvelous vitamin C. In addition, James Duke does not even list calcium oxalate in Viola (Duke's Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical Database). Two supporting articles for our argument are here:

Oxalate / Calcium

We're not buying the bacterial argument for calcium oxalate in lieu of Viola, because Viola itself contains p-coumaric acid:

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms / P-Coumaric Acid
The effects of selected phytochemicals on biofilm formed by five methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. - PubMed - NCBI

The conundrum is also that too much vitamin C may cause kidney stones, though Viola's p-coumaric acid is the built-in anti-precipitates compound.

Thus, we will be experimenting with raw violet-leaf poultices applied to cutaneous melanoma. Critical depth is approximately 0.70mm.

The Viola link to evergreens is tamarixetin:

'Methylierte Flavonole (Isorhamnetin, Tamarixetin, Kaempferid) sind in deer Familiemmutmasslich keine Seltenheit. Von den Zimtsaeuren scheint p-Cumarsaeure am haeufigsten in betraechtlichen Mengen aufzutreten.'

Yes, there is calcium oxalate, though we're not that worried about it. Hegenauer continues in the chapter on the Violaceae:

'Anatomische Merkmale. Einzellige und enizellreihige Deckhaare sinde verbreitet. Schleimabsondernde Druesenzotten wurden fuer verschiedene Viola-Arten beschrieben (Kraemer 1897, 1898). Calciumoxalat is haeufig; es wird in der Form von Einzelkristallen und Drusen abgelagert.'
(Hegenauer, op cit)

Is that actual vitamin C causing Kidney Stones or fake C' from black mold?

We give the Violas a vote of confidence.

On the bat thread, the fungal agent is Pseudogymnoascus, which mycelia are inhibited by benzothiazole. We mentioned a thiazoyrimidine in post #291. Note that the Australian Aboriginal tree Codonocarpus has the branched-chain amino signature, isoleucine-leucine-valine. Pseudogymnoascus produces leucine and valine arylamidase.

 

[badger2]

Thus, the triazole Blueberry Scandal of 1959 links to bat diseases and the use of triazine herbicides:

Note that Viola arvensis and population changes mesh with the fungus Pseudogymnoascus (Geomyces) via heavy metal. V. arvensis growing on heavy-metal slag heaps and the fungus population change, here:

I don't know if this has already been posted, but I seen it and had to share.....there are plenty of videos about it too...

A German Dr's recipe given to her patients with 90% success. It's called the Budwig Protocol, and consists of basically 2 ingredients......

Keifer or Cottage cheese (quark?)
Flaxseed &/or oil



though other ingredients could be added as well. Both to boost effectiveness and flavor.

For flax (Linum sp.) there is also omega-3 which will align to our investigative trajectory for cannabis oil (post #1). Utah just got duped: no smoke will do the anti-cancer trick, and most don't have a clue about cannabis smoke chemicals let alone tobacco smoke chemicals.
