UNIQUE PROPERTIES OF THE BLACK WALNUT. TREATMENT AND RESULTS.

In our country, this plant is still little known, its plantings are not numerous and are found in botanical gardens, as well as in a wild form in the Stavropol and Krasnodar Territories. The locals know it well and never confuse it with Walnut. Black walnut is a close relative of the walnut, but at the same time it significantly exceeds this valuable medicinal product in terms of the content of juglon and polyphenolic substances in leaves and immature fruit shells. Therefore, this plant is widely used for the treatment of tumor diseases. It is impossible to achieve a similar effect using walnut tincture.

In their historical homeland - North America, the Indians have long considered black walnut to be a miraculous elixir of life, they treated many diseases with it and even used it for the bites of poisonous snakes. In the 19th century, healers treated rickets in children with black walnut and used it externally to remove scabs, scabs and warts. However, serious studies of this plant were carried out much later. This fact can only be explained by the fact that the powerful antioxidant and immunocorrective properties of black walnut become especially in demand only at the end of the 20th century, when the deterioration of the environmental situation in the world reached a critical level and began to seriously threaten humanity.

At the end of the last century, the Pyatigorsk State Pharmaceutical Academy conducted scientific research on the healing properties of black walnut, as a result of which it was found that in terms of the complexity and integrity of the healing effect, it has no analogues in nature.

Unlike its closest relatives - walnut, Siebold's walnut, gray walnut, deceptive walnut and Manchurian walnut, black walnut has a versatile healing and healing effect on the body, therefore it fully deserves the right to be called a unique plant. Unripe black walnuts contain 8 times more vitamin C than blackcurrants, and 50 times the concentration of this powerful antioxidant in citrus fruits. In addition, it contains a large number of useful elements, vitamins B6 and B2, manganese, iron, potassium, magnesium, silicon, bioflavonoids and vegetable fats. There are also such rare trace elements as selenium, cobalt and phosphorus in black walnut. Black walnut is not used for food, because it has a very hard shell.

Astringents - tannins contained in this plant, have a beneficial effect on the surface layers of the mucous membranes and skin, reduce irritation and have an anti-inflammatory effect. They form an impenetrable film that protects wounds from further infection and promotes their rapid healing. Ointments based on black walnut extracts are effective for lichen, herpes, fungal skin lesions, rashes of various origins, and are indispensable for external tumors.

In oncology, the discovery of the medicinal properties of black walnut was due to the work of the American naturopathic doctor Hilda Clark, who drew attention to the record high concentration of polyphenols and juglones in it, which increase the body's resistance to the development of various neoplasms. She began the treatment of cancer patients, using a tripartite for this, consisting of a water-alcohol tincture of black walnut, cloves and wormwood. Since that moment, black walnut has been used all over the world for the treatment of oncological and a number of other systemic diseases that could not previously be effectively treated with official medicine. The healing "triad" created by Hilda Clark is now successfully used to treat fibroids, fibroids, adenomas, prostatitis, ovarian cysts and polycystic kidney disease.

Using in practice black walnut tincture for oral administration and black walnut ointment for external use, excellent results were obtained in the fight against diseases such as mastopathy, polyarthritis, pleurisy, lung cancer, furunculosis, giardiasis.

If you plan to make your own black walnut tincture, then this can be done in early autumn, but you need to keep in mind that black walnut-based drugs are obtained only from unripe fruits taken from the tree, and not fallen to the ground. For the preparation of black walnut tincture, 40% alcohol and whole black walnut fruits, harvested in September, are used. It is not necessary to crack the nut, because. the active components are located precisely in the upper green shell of the fetus. The nuts should be washed and placed tightly in glass containers under the neck, and then filled with alcohol to the top so that there is practically no air space (air contributes to the oxidation and deterioration of the drug). When stored properly, black walnut tincture in tightly closed jars and in a cool, dark room will retain its healing properties for several years.

How to use black walnut tincture for medicinal purposes? It is very important to adhere to a strict dosage, as with any other medicine.

For the treatment of thyroid diseases and their prevention, as well as for the above chronic diseases, the intake should be started on the 1st day with 5 drops of black walnut tincture in half a glass of water 15-30 minutes before meals and add 5 drops of tincture daily at one time. Increase the dose to a maximum of 30 drops per dose, drip the tincture into half a glass of water or herbal infusion (it is very good to take with rosehip infusion), drink 2-3 times a day. Drink the solution in small sips. The course lasts from 6 to 12 months, every 3-4 weeks you should take a 7-day break.

In the treatment of progressive malignant tumors and other serious diseases, “shock”, that is, somewhat overestimated doses of tincture, are recommended, while it is advisable to first check the tolerance of the drug for an allergic reaction to it. To do this, start on the first day with half a teaspoon of tincture, then double the next day, and so on. Depending on the weight of the person, the largest dose will be 2-3 teaspoons. For people weighing 70 to 90 kg, the maximum dose is 2.5 tablespoons, and for those weighing more than 90 kg - 3 teaspoons.

Children. With helminthic invasions and tumor diseases, the tincture should be taken at the rate of 1 drop per 1 year of life (start no earlier than 2 years). Dilute in 0.5-1 glass of water and take 7-day courses with breaks of 7 days.

When using black walnut tincture in the treatment, it should be borne in mind that the high content of tannins in its composition almost completely compensates for the laxative effect of other substances and, with a sluggishly functioning intestine, can provoke constipation. Therefore, in parallel, it is recommended to take one of the vegetable oils (milk thistle, pumpkin or their mixtures in equal proportions) in order to avoid intoxication of the body. Oil should be drunk in a teaspoon immediately before meals throughout the course of treatment.

Loading doses of black walnut preparations cannot be used in severe stages of hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver, driving, alcoholism, open stomach ulcers. For medium doses not exceeding 1-3 teaspoons of alcohol tincture per day, there are no contraindications. During the period of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, taking black walnut tincture weakens the negative effects of these procedures. Before you start taking black walnut, you need to check for an allergic reaction of the body. To do this, the tincture is taken within 2-3 days, half a teaspoon. In case of manifestation of undesirable reactions from taking the drug, you should be.

Due to the powerful biological activity of the components, preparations based on black walnut are contraindicated in children under the age of two, pregnant women and nursing mothers, as well as in case of individual intolerance to certain components of this plant. Before treatment with black walnut tincture, it is necessary to consult a phytotherapeutist or a specialist in herbalism.

Black walnut is a powerful remedy for many serious illnesses, if used wisely. Fight any disease and never despair! Be healthy!

Native to North America, black walnut is known for its anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory properties. For the first time, mention of the "opportunities" of the nut can be found in the records of folk healers of the 19th century. It has been used to treat viral infections, lower blood sugar, and also against fever and spoilage. A tincture is made from the fruit, and the peel is considered the most healing part. Who will benefit from the use of black walnut tincture and what problems will this fruit help fight?

"Under the skin" - the composition of the nut

How is black walnut different from its counterparts? First of all - the color of the peel. It is clear that it stands out for its black color. In the second - a large number of vitamins and microelements, the combination of which can be found in only a few products. The composition of the fetus also includes acids that our body does not produce, but badly needs them for the metabolic process. So, black walnut contains:

A whole list of minerals - from phosphorus, iodine and magnesium to cobalt, silicon and selenium. In total, the fruit contains about 10 minerals.

Glycosides are substances found in plants that act on the heart muscle. Under the influence of glycosides, the heart contracts faster, which means that the process of blood supply improves.

Tannins, which are characterized by bactericidal, anti-inflammatory and hemostatic properties.

Alkaloids are substances that affect the central nervous system, the state of blood vessels. But the main properties of alkaloids are their ability to “slow down” the development of neoplasms and relieve severe pain.

Essential oils.

Linoleic acid - it is this substance that is not produced by our body, but plays a significant role in the "processing" of fats and lowering cholesterol. Lack of acid can lead to blockage of blood vessels. In this regard, treatment with walnut essence is prescribed as a concomitant therapy.

The medicinal properties of the nut were first discovered by the American naturopath Hilda Clark. She drew attention to the record amount of juglone in the fetus. After all, this substance increases the body's resistance and prevents various neoplasms from developing. Dr. Clark began treating cancer patients with an alcohol tincture of black walnut with the addition of wormwood and cloves. To date, the healing "troika" of natural herbs and fruits is considered one of the most effective for the treatment of fibroids, prostatitis, fibroids, and ovarian cysts.

It is important! In terms of its vitamin composition, the black fruit cannot be compared with any other product. In one nut, the content of ascorbic acid is several times higher than its amount in the well-known blackcurrant. Contains a vitamin that is called "female youth", which is not found in its pure form - tocopherol.

10 actions of one nut

The composition and capabilities of black walnut are surprising. Thanks to an effective set of substances and elements, the fruit has a dozen useful "actions". The use of black walnut tincture is possible both for preventive and for the treatment of very serious diseases. The fruit has:

1.Antiseptic action. The walnut will fight microbes not only outside, but also in every cell of the body.

2. Healing. Due to the presence of tannins, the fruit can be used to eliminate skin wounds, ulcers and relieve inflammation.

3. Antioxidant. The abundance of juglone is able to remove toxins and rejuvenate the body as a whole.
4.Tonic. Minerals are responsible for this "action".

5.Painkillers. Alkaloids are able to relieve severe pain. Due to which alcohol tincture is good as a regular analgesic.

6.Antibacterial.

7.Sedative.

8. Hemostatic. Tannins are responsible for this process.

9.Diuretic.

It is interesting that these properties of the nut have been known to the indigenous people of America - the Indians for more than two centuries. They used the fruit to treat many diseases. With the help of a nut, the Indians fought festering wounds, bites, infections, and intestinal disorders.

It is important! Medicinal properties have only young fruits - green nuts and their leaves. Healing nuts are harvested in early autumn. Only those fruits that are plucked from a tree are considered effective, but nuts that have already fallen to the ground are not suitable for making alcohol tincture.

What diseases can black walnut cope with

Alcohol tincture is considered the most effective and multifaceted remedy. It will help to cope with both ordinary SARS and cancer (both in remission and in the progressive phase).

The first three days, drink a teaspoon 2 times a day.

Then three days - a spoonful 3 times a day.

If side effects in the form of dizziness, spasms, nausea do not make themselves felt, you can safely start the course.

With cancer, your weight will matter. The dosage will be:

It is called black by no means because of the black color of the fruits or trunks, but because of the black powerful root system of the tree. It is also called the American walnut, as it naturally grows exclusively in the forests of North America.

Appearance

The black walnut tree as a whole looks the same as other walnut trees, however, there are some appearance features that are unique to this tree:

• The trunks of the tree are chocolate-brown in color, reaching a height of up to 50 meters.
• The wood is strong, but easy to process, which makes it a valuable material for the manufacture of various wooden objects. It is decorated with a beautiful and pleasant texture, due to which it is widely used in the manufacture of furniture and interior decoration.
• The crown is vaulted, very wide, lowered downwards. Its diameter is equal to the height of the tree, and can grow even more.
• The roots are black, covered with deep cracks. They grow very deep. Root system type: rod.

The leaves of the tree are pinnate, alternately arranged. They reach a length of up to 25-30 centimeters, often consist of 11-23 pieces of light green leaves. Leaflets are oval, slightly oblong with finely serrated edges. In length they reach 6-10 centimeters, in width no more than three. The venation is pinnate. Blooms in April and May.

• Walnut California;
• Walnut neotropical;
• Manchurian walnut;
• Walnut gray, etc.

Where does it grow

The black walnut is native to North America, where it grows from Massachusetts to Florida and Texas. They were brought to Russia in the middle of the 18th century. Today it is distributed throughout Europe, except for the countries of Scandinavia, where the climate is too cold for this plant. On our territory it grows in the regions of Krasnodar and Stavropol.

• in the mountains with fertile and moist soil;

Method of collecting, processing and storing nuts

Harvesting of black walnut fruits is carried out in autumn. Today, various harvesting machines and equipment have been developed to facilitate the process of harvesting nuts.

In their absence, nuts can be harvested by hand. Ripe nuts fall by themselves. It is enough to collect them with your hands from the ground. To do this, first put on thick rubber gloves.

To speed up the process of falling nuts, you can hit the branches of the tree with sticks or other devices, however, it should be noted that this action can damage the branches and leaves of the tree. In addition, some branches are located so high that it is impossible to reach them. Nuts from high branches just need to wait.

After harvesting, the process of processing nuts begins. This step can also be done with the help of technique. Rubber gloves should be worn during manual processing, as the juice of the black walnut fruit leaves stains that are difficult to wash off.

The peel of ripe nuts changes from dark green to yellowish green. The skin can be removed with a small knife.

The second way: after crushing, remove the opened skin with your hands.

The third way: open nuts can be put in water, the peel will float away, but the nuts will remain. Then you need to lay out the brown nuts so that they dry. The drier the nuts are, the easier it will be to get the nut kernels from them. In order to separate the kernels from the shell, you can use hammers, a vice and tongs.

It is easier to store nuts with shells. It is enough to put them in a resealable metal container or cotton bags and put them in a cool place protected from the sun. In this way, you can store nuts for more than 6 months.

Nut kernels should be kept in the refrigerator, and preferably in the freezer. To do this, put the nuts in a tightly closed dish (containers will do) or in plastic bags. Can also be wrapped in food foil.

To extend the shelf life of unpeeled and peeled nuts; in order to get rid of insects that spoil nuts, they can be calcined in an oven or on a stove.

The peeled kernels are heated in a frying pan. However, it must be remembered that during heat treatment, some useful properties are forever lost.

Darker-colored shells may be last year's, overdried, as a result of which they will be less tasty and will not be stored for long. Also, if a sound is heard when shaking, this means that the nuts are overdried.

When buying shelled nuts, if possible, it is best to taste and smell them. If the taste and smell of rancid is felt, it is better not to buy such nuts, most likely they have begun to deteriorate.

You can buy black nuts on the websites of online stores.
