Damianita

Chyrsactinia mexicana, also known as Damianita, used only as a landscape plant in the U.S. but widely harvested in northern Mexico as a medicinal. It has been found to inhibit Apergillus flavus, a fungus that affects human respiratory function. A. flavus is known to grow in dry climates and also on grain while in storage; that means it grows on many food crops like corn and wheat which we later ingest. Do you know someone with breathing problems, low energy, low immunity, chronic infections, poor digestion and overall weakness? It could be attributed to a fungal infection such as Aspergillus because we are exposed to it so regularly. In the
Southwest we have numerous people with fungal/mold infections. Many cannot eat even pure, organic food because the infection has gone so deep into their immune systems.

Fungus and mold are hard to detect and many insurance companies do not like to cover the expense as it can be found in so many places and people.


Research at The Institute of Social Security in Monterrey, Mexico also found Chyrsactinia mexicana to show the greatest antimicrobial activity against the drug-resistant strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the pathogenic bacteria species attributed to tuberculosis, which also affects our lungs. Information was reported in The Journal of Ethnopharmacology Volume 109, Issue 3, pages 435-441.


Watch my mini-video about Damianita that is growing at my lab in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I will be extracting compounds in the leaves for patients who have respiratory issues such as those mentioned above. I also recommend a specialized diet for optimizing lung healing and recuperation. Please contact me about consultations and advice at drenos@milagroherbs.com
