Hi Nelwyn,
  I don't know about it as tea, I've only taken it in capsule form.  I just
learned of Pau' D Arco this past spring.  The wife of our herbologist at the
health food store I use told me about it.  She said they used it in Europe
as long as she could remember for general prevention.  She told me that her
and each of her family will go through a bottle apiece about 3 times a year
to rebuild immune system.  She said in Mexico and several other countries
the Drs. will put a patient on it for 3-4 wks. prior to having chemo. and it
prevents sickness and hair loss.
  Then a missionary that our church supports in Papua, New Guinea, was back
here for a couple of months this summer.  He said they take that and
echinacea at the first sign of any cold related symptom and his whole family
has been sickness-free for the past 3 years.
  I'm sure you could get more details with a web search or through your own
local health food/herb specialist.

  On another note:  in regards to the IP-6...The herbologist I seek advice
from has been promoting IP-6 for cancer prevention/treatment for well over a
year.  He said he was concerned about how long our "friends at the FDA"
would let us buy it.  The problem as he states it is that the Feds have been
looking long and hard at IP-6 because of its 'success' rate.  He said he has
seen other such items that were successful in cancer prevention/reversal in
the past ( he's been studying herbology for a little over 30 years) that
have been pulled from the market; made available by prescription only; and
finally(and quietly,) disappeared.
  Hope this helps some.

    From the canoe capital of Florida   ->->   W.T.
