COVID-19 Infection Triggers An Anti-Tumor Immune Response In Some Cancer Patients. Part 2: Traditional Herbal Medicine- The Immune System’s Secret Weapon

By Donnie Yance

Traditional Herbal Medicine (THM) is very different from using isolated plant compounds. Using isolates to treat cancer is a more allopathic approach and not at all part of a holistic whole-systems model based in THM practice.

THM is based on a concept of whole plants having synergy as well as intelligence (Plant Intelligence). Examples of plant intelligence include key features that involve the ability to problem-solve in a flexible manner, anticipate the future, store memory, learn, communicate, and ultimately, be goal-oriented.¹

COVID-19 Infection Triggers An Unexpected Anti-Tumor Immune Response In Some Cancer Patients

By Donnie Yance

Part 1: Infections, Fevers, and the Immune-Cancer Connection

A surprising discovery shows that a COVID-19 infection can activate immune cells that fight cancer, opening doors to potential new treatments for patients who have run out of options.

One of cancer’s deadliest traits is its ability to hide from our immune system. Unlike other diseases, cancer cells can suppress or trick our body’s natural defenses. They become invisible to immune cells that normally would attack them, and can even manipulate the immune system to help cancer grow while blocking the cells meant to destroy them; these include the important defenders called Cytotoxic T-cells and Natural Killer Cells.

The Easter Connection: Death, Resurrection, and Transcendence

By Donnie Yance

“There isn’t anything about a caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly.”

–Buckminster Fuller

The parallels between near-death experiences (NDEs) and the core narrative of Easter in Christian theology are both striking and profound. Easter commemorates Christ’s resurrection—the ultimate transition from death to new life—which resonates deeply with NDE accounts. Many experiencers report feelings of transcendence, encounters with a loving presence, and a sense of passing through darkness into brilliant light, mirroring the Passion and Resurrection story central to Christian faith.

Maca: Nature’s Energizing Root from the Mountains of Peru

By Donnie Yance

What is Maca?

Maca (Lepidium meyenii), is a resilient cruciferous root vegetable native to the high Andean plateaus of Peru at elevations of 11,500-16,400 feet. It has recently garnered significant attention in the natural medicine field due to its extraordinary nutritional, antiviral, and antioxidant properties. Traditionally cultivated by indigenous communities for over 2,000 years, maca has been used both as a dietary staple and medicinal herb.

Its roots contain approximately 60% carbohydrates, 10% protein, and 10% fibers, with the remainder comprising various bioactive compounds.¹ For centuries, people in Peru have valued maca for its ability to boost energy and enhance fertility.

“The key to stopping the environmental apocalypse is not science but love.” – Steven Charleston

Previous posts in this series have covered how plants play a vital role in assisting the detoxification of dangerous chemicals out of our bodies through nutrition and supplementation. Plants also have little-known abilities to actually clean the water and air of our home environments.

Detoxification: Everything you need to know and what to do

Part Four: Lifestyle and Herbs For Detoxification

By Donnie Yance

Life Force and Herbal Medicine

The Life Force, or Vital Force, is an innate energy that exists in all of nature. Plants are made up of highly organized molecules governed by this same Life Force with divine intelligence. Herbal medicine assists healing through the sacred human-to-plant relationship. God and nature have cooperated to create cleansing and nourishing allies throughout the plant kingdom.

Detoxification

We must consider that the creation of the universe had a purpose rather than being a mere result of chance. Plants were among the first settlers on Earth and depended on their adaptability for food and medicine. The plants learned how to convert sunlight into energy. They also learned to generate molecules to protect themselves from pollution, radiation, and predators. These molecules then become protective for us when we consume these foods and herbs.

Human beings and plants are manifestations of creative, divine intelligence, harmoniously connected through a shared vibration. The fact that we breathe the plants’ exhaust (oxygen) and they breathe our exhaust (carbon dioxide) is an example of this harmonic relationship.
