Balsam of Peru

One traditional remedy from South America that I think could help many right away is Balsam of Peru. It is a topical antifungal and I think perhaps antiviral, also. I just simply found a cream called Healing Cream that carries Balsam of Peru as main ingredient (brand with the initials M. B. ) that I found they carried at Nordstroms or possibly other departement stores, but I know you can buy it unmixed online. I used it on my eye-lid, that had a stubborn infection I got at work, (red, itchy, dry & swollen) and apparently many suffer from this in cold weather, I found out. Cortisone creams and such don't do much good. Doctors just want to give anitbiotics, and then I deal with other after-effects for months, so no thanks. I've also used it on other areas on my body, hands, nails, my puppy's stomach rash, and it always works within a couple of hours. I share it with friends and they call me in amazement how fast it works. Just don't use it constantly, or you can develop allergic reactions over time. Hope this is useful.


Mutamba Extract
Posted by Ricardo Costa (Brazil) on 09/30/2013

Down here in brazil, people are drinking mutamba extract (tree's leaves) which has the perfect tanine to change hiv life cycle. The leaves of this tree is curing people here. There is a doctor that discovered this. His name is Dr. Paulo Gouveia, Tanine is the key that can reach places where the aids cocktail can not reach. This doctor said the mutamba tree is the cure. And the species of the state of goias suffered a mutation caused by a certain virus (plaque) that attacked these trees down here around 1900s or so. The mutamba tree survived and it has this special tanine. 50 leaves blended with 2 lts of water. Filter it with a simple sieve. Drink it every 12 hours for about 30 days. There is another plant that can save people. it is called avelos or aveloz plant. The same plant cures cancers too. Another thing that works well is colloidal silver or gold silver. Also check on avelos or aveloz plant may cure hiv. Check both trees on youtube in Portuguese. Astragalus, oregano oil and olive oil or leaves cure AIDS.
