Common Use: In Germany, a standardized solution of this plant is used in the treatment of chronic diseases, including most forms of cancer, ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis, all types of herpes infections, chronic arthritis and almost any immune deficiency state, including AIDS. In cases of cancer, its proponents claim it works therapeutically to shrink solid tumors, but does not help with blood abnormalities such as leukemia. Proponents also claim that in clinical applications, it has been effective in boosting immune function and eliminating the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from the blood. Dr. Morton Walker writes "I have observed laboratory test readings on HIV-positive patients, recorded by [German doctors] and American holistic physicians. The patients T-helper cell counts rose from as low as 11 per cubic millimeter of blood to well beyond 700, while the T-suppressor cells decreased sharply. This makes the individual's important helper/suppressor ratio almost normal. The most surprising result has been [the German Venus' Flytrap solution's] direct effect in reducing the viability of the HIV. Quite simply, an identified biochemical ingredient in [Venus' Flytrap] kills the AIDS virus. Also, the Beta-2 Microglobulin test, which measures the amounts of plasma proteins produced by HIV, decreases. This test for Beta-2 levels is judged to be the most accurate of all predictors of HIV progression to AIDS. A decrease in Beta-2 levels indicates that the patient is not advancing to full blown AIDS." 15 to 30 drops 3-5 times daily before meals. Not recommended if nursing or pregnant.
