What is the benefit to take an extract?

The success of herbal products as healing agents for your body or illness is dependent upon how active their ingredients are when you ingest them. For the maximum benefit, it is important to take herbs in the form that best captures and preserves their active constituents. Liquid herbal extracts achieve this, so they are the most beneficial form of herbs available on the market today. Extracts aren’t exposed to oxygen and light the way some capsules and tablets are, therefore their potency remains firm. There is less fillers and inactive ingredients in extracts as well. Liquids are digested and more immediately available into your glands, organs and bloodstream, when compared to tablets and capsules. Tinctures and extracts maintain their freshness longer too. When trying to decide what form of product is best for you consider a tincture or extract for maximum absorption, potency, and your greatest advantage.

Physicians of nineteenth century America used papaya leaf to treat "fermentative indigestion," a condition of bloating, nausea, and flatulence frequently following eating too much fermented foods. King's Dispensatory is quoted that the  teas (decoctions) of papaya leaf helped reduce the oxalic acid content of the urine, presumably reducing the formation of oxalic acid kidney stones. The primary use of papaya leaf for herbalists today is as a vermifuge, that is, to remove intestinal worms. Papaya leaf has less of the protein-dissolving papain than the fruit, so it is less likely to "dissolve" the worms, but it contains tannins that the fruit doesn't. These tannins protect the intestine from reinfection by "tanning" proteins in the lining of the intestinal wall so that worms cannot attach themselves. Neat huh?

The papaya, Carica papaya L., is a member of the small family Caricaceae allied to the Passifloraceae. As a dual- or multi-purpose, early-bearing, space-conserving, herbaceous crop, it is widely acclaimed, despite its susceptibility to natural enemies.

In some parts of the world, especially Australia and some islands of the West Indies, it is known as papaw, or pawpaw, names which are better limited to the very different, mainly wild Asimina triloba Dunal, belonging to the Annonaceae. While the name papaya is widely recognized, it has been corrupted to kapaya, kepaya, lapaya or tapaya in southern Asia and the East Indies. In French, it is papaye (the fruit) and papayer (the plant), or sometimes figuier des Iles. Spanish-speaking people employ the names melón zapote, lechosa, payaya (fruit), papayo or papayero (the plant), fruta bomba, mamón or mamona, depending on the country. In Brazil, the usual name is mamao. When first encountered by Europeans it was quite naturally nicknamed "tree melon".

Why are platelets needed?
Blood is made of four components: platelets, plasma, red blood cells and white blood cells. The platelet component is necessary to control bleeding. Patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments are unable to produce enough platelets. Without platelet transfusions, life-threatening hemorrhages could result. Be a platelet donor and help save lives.

Papaya - The gift of nature has several uses including increasing platelet count and as a digestive agent. The leaves and fruit can both be used to support sound digestion (the unripe fruit is especially effective). The latex from the trunk of the tree is applied externally to speed the healing of wounds, ulcers, boils, warts, and cancerous tumors. The seeds gently expel worms.The flowers may be taken in an infusion to induce menstruation. A decoction of the ripe fruit is helpful for treating persistent diarrhea and dysentery in children. The ripe fruit is mildly laxative.The leaves are used to dress wounds.

The papaya plant is a small tree, Carica papaya L. (family Caricaceae), native to tropical America but found in tropical areas throughout the world. Its trunk, which is nonwoody and hollow, produces large, deeply lobed leaves and smooth-skinned cantaloupe-like fruits or melons directly on its surface without intervening branches.

When ripe, the fruits are a very desirable food. Shallow cuts made on the surface of fully grown but unripe fruits cause them to exude a milky sap or latex that after collection and drying is known as crude papain. In addition to the large quantities produced by incising the fruit, about 2 percent of papain is found in papaya leaves.

These days there are so many conflicting reports of what’s healthy that it’s hard to know which information to trust.  Perhaps a back to basics approach is best.  Fruits and vegetables really are the best thing for people to eat to stay healthy.  They’re packed full of nutrients and other healthy compounds, and there’s not a lot of the “bad” stuff to contend with, like fat, cholesterol, and empty calories.  Eating a wide range of fruits and vegetables is one of the best ways to say healthy, and papaya is a great way to do that and to add some variety to your diet too.  The papaya fruit itself is an impressive source of dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, and phytochemicals like beta-carotene and lycopene.

KARACHI: It all started with that one mosquito. It even looked different — larger than the usual kind, and even today, I distinctly remember the gray and white markings on its wings and body.

I killed it within seconds of seeing it, but by then it was too late. My ankle was itching. Still, who pays any attention, right? I scratched my ankle and drove off.

Two weeks later, I noticed a few black marks on my arms, which I figured were bruises. I was running late to get to a wedding, so I paid no attention. When I got back, my back was covered in bruises and when I woke up the next morning, I had a large bruise on the inner side of my lower lip. I rushed to my family practitioner, who said: “It’s nothing to worry about. Probably a viral. It’ll go away in a day or two.”

On somebody’s instinct, I got a blood test done, but before the results could come back, I had spiked a fever and was feeling extremely nauseous. My parents took me to the nearest hospital, where the emergency room doctor ordered an immediate platelet count. It was 3,000 (the minimum for a healthy person is 150,000).

Why Don't Doctors Prescribe Natural Health Treatments That are Effective, Safe and Cheaper?!

There was a couple whose 27 year old daughter was in the advanced stages of bone cancer. The harsh effects of Chemo were taking a toll, and her platelets were down to 7! They asked her oncologist if it is ok to give her Papaya Leaf Extract to boost immunity and platelet count during chemotherapy. The doctor told them that it was no problem, that in fact a number of his patients had reported that they had used the Papaya leaf herbal supplement with success in increasing platelet count.

Naturally they wondered why he didn’t tell them about this product rather than recommend irreversible spleen removal and expensive Predisone shots.

So, ever wondered why the majority of allopathic physicians don't take part in proclaiming the good news about the benefits of Papaya Leaf Extract and other natural treatments? There are many reasons.

Weight loss has a much cherished correlation with papaya. Actually, there has been a clamor going around that papaya and weight loss have a special relationship. There are also studies that suggest that the same is true and that there is a significant correlation between eating papaya and losing weight. Despite the nutritional benefits of papaya, not too many are aware of its benefits when it comes to weight loss solutions. Many dietitians have a ‘papaya weight loss program’ in their diet programs.

You must be wondering by now why Papaya and weight loss are linked together. Papaya is a rich source of vitamin A and C. Apart from these vitamins, papaya is also known to be a rich source of fibre and potassium. These nutrients help the cardiovascular system and protect the colon from cancer. This fruit is cholesterol and fat free, apart from being low in calories. Papaya contains papain which is also used for tenderizing meat. Some studies also show that papain breaks down protein. Papain further increases the metabolism and digestion.

Increase Platelet Count Naturally: Foods to Treat Low Platelet Thrombocytopenia

Increasing one’s platelet count is a must because of the severity of the condition that is likely to affect the person when the platelet level is allowed to stay too low for so long. In this regard, people with conditions that cause their platelet level count to be low are putting a lot of emphasis on countering the disorder.

A low platelet count is associated with internal bleeding. This situation is far more dangerous than having a low platelet count.

Causes of Decreased Platelet Count

There are several reasons why some people have low platelet count. Here are the common reasons.

• Medications. Aspirin is known to contribute in the reduction of platelet count.
• Ibuprofen is also known to lower platelet count although the effect will not last long.
• Anemia. The effect of anemia is of particular concern to women especially during their menstrual period wherein their platelet count are severely low. Anemia demands special attention when it begins to rob the body of iron.
• Chemotherapy. Chemotherapy and other similar medical treatments can also cause a reduction in the platelet count.
• Dengue. Common in tropical areas in Asia and Africa, dengue is a mosquito-borne disease, can affect the level of platelet in the body.

Cancer is one of the world's leading killers. Typically, chemotherapy and radiation are used to try to cure or slow this disease, but these treatments are usually harsh and can achieve only limited success. 
Not surprisingly, many patients seek natural treatment options, and while the mainstream medical community hasn't endorsed any of these approaches, there is evidence that some natural foods and supplements, such as papaya, may have positive effects for some cancer patients.

Description:

Papaya leaves can fight cancer? Some of the greatest cancer scientists in history believed that enzymes can treat and help prevent cancer. Papaya leaves have an enzyme papain. Old school thought is that enzymes help digestion. New medicine in the last fifteen years has proven in clinical studies that enzymes taken by mouth (oral enzymes) can make it past your stomach to treat and help prevent cancer.

Papaya leaf juice is claimed to have reversed cancer in many people living on the Gold Coast in
Australia. Harold W. Tietze in his book Papaya The Medicine Tree, describes how to make the juice and
tells the stories of many cancer survivors who reportedly used the juice to get rid of their cancer.

The story of how Stan Sheldon cured himself of cancer by drinking the boiled extract of pawpaw
leaves was first told in the Gold Coast Bulletin in 1978.

Now research in the United States has given scientific support to his claim, isolating a chemical
compound in the pawpaw tree which is reported to be a million times stronger than the strongest anti-
cancer drug. Mr Sheldon, says the discovery does not surprise him. “I was dying from cancer in both
lungs when it was suggested to me as an old Aboriginal remedy” he said. “I tried it for two months and
then I was required to have a chest x-ray during those compulsory TB checks they used to have. They
told me both lungs were clear.” “I told my specialists and they didn’t believe me until they had carried out
their own tests.” “Then they scratched their heads and recommended I carry on drinking the extract I
boiled out of the papaw leaves.”
