Tepezcohuite - The
Miracle Healer
It
is the best healer I have known for pressure sores
of
all degrees, first, second and third degree!

Back to "Tips of knowledge..."
I first heard about Tepezcohuite
from a much publicized account of a young American lady whose airplane
crashed in a jungle of Tabasco or somewhere in south Mexico. According to
the account, which was her own testimonial, wondering alone in the jungle
was she with severe burns all over her body, she knew no more: she lost
consciousness and later was found by natives who healed her burns with
powder made from this crust from a tree they call Tepezcohuite.
Three or four months past, and when she returned to civilization with her
father, she was completely healed and with no scars. I remember
that this happened in late eighties or early nighties
(rather the first), and Tepezcohuite products
popped up: powder of Tepezcohuite, soap of Tepezcohuite, etc. I remember that I tried the
powder on a difficult, non-healing and deep pressure sore (decubitus) I had had for one year or so, and I
regretted to have used it. The powder "grabbed" on the
flesh and formed a crust which I was afraid to leave, and tried to remove
instead. Well, when my care giver finally removed it all, I was afraid to try again. I returned to my
more conventional methods (For a time, I used a daily application of bee
honey on a clean sore - washed with soap and water. This seemed to work;
the sore was kept free from infection, and the honey seemed to help nourish
the cells. But two or three years later, I noticed that I was
experiencing a lot of itching inside my mouth when I ate anything that contained
bee honey. I must have developed an allergy, I thought, and I stopped using
it.). The years past, and the pressure sore did not advance much. It
would tend to close by the sides, but not by its depth. It was not a
"pressure" sore per say, because it was not produced by any
seating or laying-down pressure. Where I have it (near the coxis) is totally pressure free while sitting in my
wheelchair or while laying down on my bed.
It is the rubbing of skin against skin which
produces the sore and makes it hard to heal. It is the skin inside of a
fold, which was produced out of scar tissue from my first pressure sore
after my accident (when I remained 11 days and 11 nights laying down flat
on my back on a hospital bed, with 15 Kilograms of traction from my head...
in a hospital of Guadalajara, Mexico - August 1963 - in case anybody
wonders). Somtime around March/1996 I tried Tepezcohuite
again, this time as an unguent. Its healing properties were soon
evident. It keeps my sore absolutely free from bacteria the whole
24-hour period between every daily morning cleansing (I know, because it
remains clean and odorless, which was not the case with any other home or
prescribed remedy, including the bee honey), and the tissue has had the
chance to heal, I guess, because new tissue was promptly filling the sore.
The rubbing (skin-to-skin) continued, though, and the sore actually has not
had a chance to completely heal yet, but it is in its way. With the sore
kept open, new tissue has been growing around it and is filling the fold
itself. It has been a sore of 8 years (since about 1990) and nothing
worked as well as the Tepezcohuite unguent
has. It works equally great on anything which requires tissue or skin
healing, such as burns, cuts, etc. (Recently, my care giver got a deep cut
on her lower lip, which required 8 stitches. She put Tepezcohuite
on it, and 4 days later there was no sign that she had been wounded).
On the label, it says that it is traditionally used for a number of skin
problems, such as "acne", "paņo negro",
sun burns, etc. Different companies make it, but I have found "Arbol de la Vida" (Tree of Life) to be the best
brand. In its formula, it includes: Tepezcohuite
crust (mimosa teniuflora poir),
wheat germ oil, "rosa mosqueta"
oil, and "vehiculo" C.B.P.
I pay less than $2 (two dollars) for a 50-gram case in Tijuana, Mexico,
which lasts one and a half or two months of daily applications. I am
not set up to re-sell this product, and I will no longer offer to buy it
for any one as a favor, since it is now more easily available online: read
the very first email below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: this product, as anything else, I guess, should not be
used for extended periods of time. I just noticed today (May 25, 2001) that
I have become alergic to tepezcohuite
cream. Yes, the same cream I called "Miracle Healer". The area
that I rub with it becomes redish. I cannot use
that cream any longer, but I will see if I can use tepezcohuite
in some other form. In the mean time, I will use a new cream I just tested
that works "like miracle". It dries and heals quickly. The name
is Quadriderm NF.

Hi Arthur,
Thank you for your reply. Sorry this is causing you so
much trouble. Actually, l also emailed Bert Gunn, who had sent you an
email on your website saying he had the Tepezcohuite
in powder form and he said he would send me some. So l guess it's not
imperative that you send it to me...
As well, l'd like to make you aware of a
website l found after l emailed you that would save you this trouble in the
future. lt's
called "Herbs of Mexico" Herb Emporium. lt's a family run business based in Los Angeles
that carries many herbal products including the Tepezcohuite
ointment by " arbol de vida"
in 50 and 120g. The prices are reasonable, $3 for the 50g and $5 for
the 120g. They take orders by phone or fax, and say they will have
online ordering soon. Might be easier for you to recommend them
rather than offer to ship yourself. Not sure if they ship to Canada,
haven't contacted them.
So again, thank you for your trouble...my daughter's leg seems
to be healing ok. Her skin isn't as raw anymore. And it doesn't
seem to bother her too much...so my initial sense of panic has settled a
bit.
Nancy

Arthur,
Thanks for expediting your response. I stated that I've been using
Quadriderm NF Cream for over 10 years...well 10
years ago, I was a young 19-year old! I can think back to about the
time when I was 12 years old using Quadriderm. I
exclusively use it for cold sores and it is incredible!!!
My Mom is notorious for getting cold sores...always has...as long as I
can remember. My sisters would get them occasionally but it would
never
fail...I would get them at least twice a year. As a growing 12-year
old, what Hot Babe would want to kiss me with a cold sore, right?
I remember it being introduced to me by my Mom. At that time, we
lived
in El Paso, TX and our family Dr. was on the other side of the US Border
so all of the medication we ever took was purchased at the corner
"Farmacia".
Every single medicine or ointment I used to cure cold sores would
always....always....make them bigger and create scabs on my lip
(Consequently, they've left scars on my lips because of that). It seemed
that they burned or dried up the cold sore from the outside and work its
way in.
Quadriderm was the first and the only
medication, thus far, that dried
up the cold sores from the inside so it NEVER produced any dryness or
scarring on the outside...it has kept the swelling down and is not very
noticeable..so I've stuck with it ever since...and, I might add, it
heals within 3 to 4 days...nothing I've used has even come close to
producing this kind of result.
I'm now living far from the border, so it's quite difficult to get it at
the local
pharmacy. I currently have a 40g tube now but it's half full so I'd
like to plan ahead for posterity...hence...this email to you.
Please let me know if you can get it...the label reads:
Quadriderm NF Crema
Betametasona/Clotrimazol/Gentamicina
Schering-Plough
Thanks again!
Oh, and...by the way, if you decide to add this
story to your site,
please change the name and the location....Thanks!
Gabriel

Why? Of course I can get some in my next trip to Tijuana (9 miles from my
house), and send it to you. Send me an address. I am not set up for doing
this more often than occasionally. I know that years will pass before you
need more of it, but, if it is as good as you claim it to be, shouldn't
something be done to make it available to everybody. Let's investigate it,
and send any news to me for publication, if you like. I changed your name
and location, as you requested. I will have this story published in my page
now.

Subject: An Alternate to Tepez.....
Mr. Heyer,
This is not a request but since reading your article on Tepez....(forgot
how
to spell it) It occurs to me that you might need yet another alternate way
to
cleanse the wound you are having a problem with. It will kill germs,
bacteria
and viruses almost immediately. Some require immerision
for several minutes.
It is COLLODIAL SILVER which is 99.999 percent distilled water. The balance
is pure silver which has been made a colloid (liquid) . This stuff also
helps
wounds to heal. To avoid a lot of wasted time here I will answer any
questions you may wish to ask but about the best thing I can do is give
you
the URL. I assure you I have no connection what ever
with the maker of this
product other than being a grateful user of same.
I also do not know if it would be significally
beneficial to you but do
believe it would
The URL
is
http://www.pe.net/~abilene/colloidal.htm
I stumbled across your info by looking for info on Boric Acid and
Carpenter
Ants.
Regards,
Joe
P.S.
Re: the application. For topical use I use it maximum strength by just
using a spray bottle. From the model which cost about $125.00 (Its gone up a bit) the maximum strength is 80 PPM (parts
per million). If you have a stubborn germ/virus it may be necessary to immerse or keep moist somehow for
several minutes. The way it kills is by smothering the germ/virus. Some it
will kill instantly and it is also good at stopping the itching associated
with it which also is almost instantaneous.
I use a few eye drops for eye wash when I am having eye problems however I
only use 15PPM for that.

I'd like to know if you are still able to ship tepezcohuite?
I bought the soap about two months ago at an alley in LA, at that time I
had no idea of what it was or if it was going to work or not so I just
bought one bar just to give it a try since I
had already tired of trying everything with no good results... I thought I
would give it a try since I was really in need for something for my "Paņo" I used the soap for a month and
it worked just great!! My dark spots are really gone!!! Unfortunately
I haven't been able to find it again... Please let me know if you are still
able to ship tepezcohuite.
Thank you very much.

Dear ...,
Thanks for sharing your story. It is interesting and informative. As soon
as I have a break, with your permission, I would like to add it to my
site.
I am not in the business of selling Tepezcohuite
(soap or cream (of the brand "Ärbol de la vida"), which have worked well on me), but, as a
favor, I will purchase it for you in Tijuana, and send it to you for the
cost, plus packing and mailing.
My limit is 3 pieces, of soap or cream only, or any combination of the 2
things. Send $14 for the 3 pieces. You may send a check to my name, at the
address below, or, if you prefer to pay with credit card, do it via paypal, by using the paypal
button of my company's ORDER page at

Hello there! My name is Andrea ...and I am looking for Quadriderm. I
used to live in Los Angeles as a kid, and my grandmother brought some
back
after visiting Mexico for the weekend. It treated my heat/sun rash so
fast!
I am now living in Pennsylvania, and have since developed the skin
rash
again.

Arthur,
My mother uses Quadriderm NF for her psorises with wonderful results. She has found
nothing else like it and is in desperate need for some after running out
several months ago. After reading your post, I am wondering if you
are still shipping to the US? I would love
to surprise my mother. Thanks for your help.

I don't know if I can still contact
this screen name, but I wanted to share my story about Quadriderm.
Awhile back I used Quadriderm
for a burn from an iron and it worked like wonders. After being burned, obviousely it hurt pretty bad
and after maybe 5 min.'s after putting the cream on the pain went away. I
was amazed.
My dad had gotten the cream from a
co-worker who said he swore by it and it worked on everything.
Like "Gabriel" I also get
cold sores and I had an outbreak awhile back and I put on Abreva (over-the counter cold sore medication). Usually
it works and they go away completely in about 6 days, but this time it
wasn't working and I was in a lot of pain. The Abreva
was drying up the cold sore which left a crust. I kept on taking it off,
but the cold sore remained underneath. I remembered what my dad said about
his co-worker saying it worked on anything, so I decided I'd try it on my
cold sores. Believe it or not...it worked. The pain went away in minutes
and they completely healed in about 2 days. It is a "mircale medicine".
I still have half of the tube left. I
recently went to Ensinada and bought the generic
brand of Quadriderm. The guy said it worked just
as well. Hopefully he was telling the truth.

hi,
I just saw your piece in Tepezkohuite. We have been using it for a long time
during gatherings and ceremonies in Mexico, and it is amazing. For open
wounds we just use the dry powder and let it form an ugly looking but
healing scab. When it falls off, the skin is renewed. our
group has been able to get a good supply of the powder and always have some
here. It can also be mixed with honey, Aloe Vera, cold cream, or any other
ointment, as well as chewing gum for ulcers (havent
tried it, but that is how they make it up for stomach problems in Mexico.
if you are alergic to it, it may be the base it
is mixed in, not the tepez. itself. you might try
mixing the powder with something else, or just using it straight.
good luck and thanks for writing about this amazing stuff. If you have
trouble getting some, let me know,
Bert
