I SUFFERED OF PSORIASIS
AND I HEALED WITH MEDICINAL PLANTS
Prologue
Psoriasis is s skin disease, frequent which razes difficulties of treatment,
at the start of the third millenium. It is present in the village and city.
The disease isn’t contagious. Its apparition can be at any age, even
from childhood. Its evolution is chronic. Sometimes the Psoriasis elements
resist in all the life of the patient.
The specific elements of the disease with red lesions that appear almost
symmetrically, especially on arm, knee the skin from the head. In time
they can appear in other places (member’s superior and inferior), if it’s
generalizing it means it is a form of generalized Psoriasis.
The base of the treatment it is the one with ointments, creams or solutions
based on cignolin etc. This has a local effect, sometimes really fast.
But the reappearing is more often and more intense, sometimes even after
they give up the treatment with ointments. That’s why some patients have
to continue the treatment with ointments, even if those have negative effects
sometimes.
Using the Deniplant tea from the Medical Foundation “The Help”, tea
licensed by Mr. Gheorghe Giurgiu, the president of the foundation there
was healing and disappearing of the lesions in only 6-12 months. The treatment
with Deniplant can be used sure, without other prepares or diet.
Even if the treatment with Deniplant is for long last it is easy to
be used by the patients at their one homes. and till now there are no negative
effects.
All the 500 patient who’ve pass to the foundation can say that this
treatment “Deniplant” really has the positive answers that every patient
wants.
This is why the foundation received this name “Hope”, to give the patient
the hope that he will heal, even if the doctors say that the disease can’t
heal.
The patient has the right to know that in Romania a product that could
help him.

Note of the author
From the beginning I would like that the reader to not be upset on me
for the fact that being patient in reading all this rows he didn’t find
the essential elements that made me give the title of this work. This happens
because of the element, which is the object of an invention, and you can’t
know it.
I wrote these with the wish that they will mean a moral help, a shining
of help for the people who suffer of the sickness named Psoriasis. They
should have trust in this treatment with plants (Fitotherapy), they will
find out that the new medicine can’t help.
By saying, “I was sick of Psoriasis “ I entered in a wanted contradiction
to the actual, new medicine. All the doctors have told me, as they tell
to the all other patients, that this sickness is hopeless, without realizing
that they make something to the patients. If in the case of a man with
cancer the doctor doesn’t tell to the patient that is hopeless why don’t
they us this in the case of the man who suffers of Psoriasis?
The way I used and the time which passed (over 17 years), time in which
the sickness didn’t reappear, make me consider right to say, “I was sick
of Psoriasis “. All the doctors have told me that the sickness might appear
even after 15 to20 years and that this isn’t a healing and just a temporary
amelioration. But I permit to make a comparation not very opportune. If
by getting cold and after the treatment, I get cold once more and after
coming winter I get cold again, could I say that cold is a helpless disease?
Even if this comparation is a little bit forced I just wanted you to know
that now there is a treatment which treats the intern causes of the Psoriasis
and this skin disease can be healed or at least ameliorated for a long
time. THE DENIPLANT TEA EXISTS! I agree that there is the possibility of
getting sick again. I will treat again with the tea and I will get healed
for other 20 years.
Wouldn’t you, the man suffering of Psoriasis, be content of this?
My own case
For proving what I wrote till now I’ll start with my own case. the first
part of the sickness was in the time I was at the military hyschool. I
couldn’t get good accommodation there for the fact of the privations. Far
home, far parents, moving in a small place surrounded by high walls, the
impossibility of getting down town when you want, executing strict activities
that I had to manage with. On this fond was also the problem of a professor
which in time of 3 years, every trimester was giving me bad marks and I
was in a raugh situation but in the last day I was promoted. Isn’t this
a stress to live in the third trimester to know that you might be expelled.
So every trimester, every year I took little by little poison and my organism
couldn’t resist any more. That’s how I got Psoriasis.
At first I had lots of treatments with ointments. I was healed for
a short time but after they appeared again. Especially the stress factor
as always present.
After the military hyschool I went to the officer school where I had
to manage with a bigger stress and more privations.
After the first year of school, my organism didn’t respond well to
ointments, my organism was depending on ointments.
I had to take the treatment with ultraviolet razes, after a year of
treatment, in the next year 1980 the razes didn’t have any more the effect
from the first use. The sickness was on my whole body. That’s why I had
to do, time of 2 months, PUVA razes. After this treatment the lesions have
healed in a proportion of 95% staying only some points in the places were
the lesions were.
Going in a trip in Vrancea, an old lady recommended me to read a book
about traditional Romanian medicine “Healing and remedies for sicknesses
“.
I took that old book and I copied word by word and that’s how I found
out about the great remedies of fitotherapy.
At first I didn’t believe but the words of that old lady stayed into
my mind “ Try this healing too cause you have nothing to lose.”
And I listened to tat old lady’s advice, I started reading that book
for hundreds of times and I started looking for the plants and making different
mixtures. And the results appeared in the sense that throwing ointments
I could handle to resist with the natural treatment and without diet.
So it appeared Deniplant Tea.
After this treatment I noticed that the lesions didn’t form any more
and the points were disappearing easier. That was the first sign the first
hope that I made, which told me tat I will heal.
I can’t say that everything worked great, as I wanted cause the treatment
was a continuos s research and a continuos experience. There were moments
when the organism didn’t answer with the same fastness, as I wanted. After
all my research (on me) I found out that even if I will double the treatment
the sickness won’t heal faster. The organism reacts on his one rules.
At first I did an alcoholic extract and a decoct which I combined.
But to consume some boiled plants, which don’t have even a good taste,
from day to day, from month to month, wasn’t what I really wanted.
Even if I saw that the skin was healing herself, without ointments
or diet I had the temptation to use ointments to escape of the plants,
cause I was sick of them. Then I realized that I was fooling my self cause
the lesions were reappearing. After, I found out that by introducing all
the plants in the decoct it were better results but my organism was sick
of plants. So I thought I could do something so the taste could be better
and I could manage easier with it. That’s how I introduced lemon in the
treatment. By introducing lemon I got a really good refreshing drink. I
didn’t agree with putting aromas more or less natural, for correcting the
taste of the tea as many teas are made.
Then I tried to change the Deniplant tea into effervescent pills, so
it could be much easier to use. But my research got that a part of the
vegetal products used by be can’t be copied synthetically and the ones
that can be copied can give adverse reactions.
That’s why I thought that it would be better if I would let the Deniplant
tea in its original plants mixture and forest fruits 100% natural so there
won’t appear later any bad manifestations and so the sickman won’t have
what to be afraid of.
But the diet, I say that I had no restrictions, even if in that book
was recommended this. It’s also true that my menu was improved with fruits
and vegetables but I didn’t interdict myself the other foods. I eat even
pork food, beef, chicken, fish, all I wanted, so I had a normal life. I
remember that at first I didn’t drink any alcohol. I sad that everything
will be much better. But, by the coming of the winter celebrations and
the fact that I consumed alcohol in normal quantities I realized that the
treatment wasn’t affected. From that moment I realized that I mustn’t be
privet of this aliment, cause alcohol consumed in normal dozes can be an
aliment.
That is how I managed to finish the treatment until the real disappearing
of the lesions. But you mustn’t believe that this happened after night.
There were months, even years (two years and a half) time
in which I drank daily this tea.
And from that time (there are over 15 years) I had no problems with
Psoriasis.
Until the year 1993 the problem of this sickness didn’t interest me.
There were only too persons, which I helped to heal. Some friends told
to license this product and to help more people and I decided to do this
and that’s what I did.
After obtaining the license of Deniplant, I tried to see if this treatment
gives results to the other persons too and I found out that this is possible.
So almost 70-80% from the persons who did this treatment with Deniplant
had positive results. But there was 20-30% in which the organism didn’t
answer. So if after a month or two you don’t see any results, the organism
still depends on ointments, the results will be negative.
There were persons who fixed their problems in 5-6 months, but there
were persons which are over three years of treatment. I found out that
at children the healing was faster then at adults, at grown-ups the organism
answers slower.
From the cases I saw tat the treatment’s evolution is the next :
- in the first(as I said) you mustn’t use any more ointments or other
medicines for intern of intern or extern use.
As you get on the lesions to force the healing and their falling the
surface gets bigger and you heal slower. That is why I tell every patient
that is better to not scratch the lesions and don’t force the falling of
the lesions.
Attention! In the moment when all the lesions of the surface of the
skin disappear, you mustn’t interrupt the treatment imediatlly you must
give up in steps, a day yes, a day no time of two months. If in this time
don’t appear any points you can give up this tea forever. This thing is
really important cause there is the possibility that the skin is healed
but the intern problems aren’t.
Even if there are some many years from the time I saw the efficiently
of the Deniplant tea, but this gets on the market now, cause I waited to
see if this gives results. I won’t talk here about the fixed cases so you
to not understand that I try to make commercial. I am connived that you
will do the commercial after you will convince of this true and you will
want to help other people.
If my theory has some misses, this doesn’t mean that the other patients
and I can’t say that we didn’t heal of Psoriasis.
To true what I said and to give trust to the ones who want to use Deniplant
I decided that the people who will contact me at 0744 82 78 81 will receive
two boxes of tea at the price of one.
So Deniplant which is unique in the world will be also unique by it’s
offer.
For other things you can contact me and you will certainly receive
the waited answer.
In the ending I will present the way of using Deniplant, which you
must respect it so you could have positive answers.
Fitotherapy
"Fitotherapy was from ever"
Fitotherapy, addressing sometimes to chronic sick people, means a long
last treatment, with respecting, in the same time the other medical indications.
First dates say that Summeriens were using medicinal plants in therapeutic
ways are in 6000(before our era). They were describing many plants used
by them for healing.
In antiquity Hipocrat, the best known doctor wrote “Corpus Hipocraticus
“ in which he was describing over 200 medicinal plants.
Arabians were the first who obtained medicaments (drug) from plants
as tea, syrup or cataplasms.
Even Herodot, shows us that Dacians were knowledge and used plants
for preparing different healing.
So in a copy of the “De materia medica” written by Dioscoride in the
first century of our era, we find 24 dacian names of plants.
The Latin poet Vergilius, referring to the variety of plants from seaside
of the Black Sea, was saying in one of his works that “The Pont gives healing
“ and “Lots of herbs the Pont gives”.
If our ancestors were using medicinal plants according tradition, today
their using is scientific, on different laboratory bases and research.
But fewer specialists are really interested. So you see that in the Third
millennium we have to use the Romanian traditional medicine. Is this forever?
The basic principles of Fitoterapy
At the base of the therapeutically value of plants sits the relation
between chemical structure of active substances and their farmacodynamic
action on the elements of the body. Some plants have farmacodynamic proprieties
for the fact that almost all the medicinal plants have a complex chemical
composition, starting from two or three compounds to twenty or thirty substances
identified chemically. Then, if we use the medicinal tea that contain different
active substances, the farmacodymanic action will be higher. In other cases,
not only the mistaken association can take you to unsuccessfully therapeutics.
From this dates it gets that the first principle of fitotherapy is
that the medical product has to be good for the body. All the plants used
for the Deniplant tea are good for the organism and don’t give adverse
reactions at long use.
The second principle is that using species of plants more adequate
to the treatment of the sickness of the patient, acting on tolerance. For
obtaining some therapeutically effects in Psoriasis is necessary a long
last treatment respecting a few indications.
The third principle is that for respecting a diet and other therapeutical
factors. In this case, I started from the idea that the human body must
not be privet from different kinds of food with strict diets in which some
aliments are allowed and some are not. The man couldn’t live a normal life
in this way. And it exists the possibility in which the sickness can reappear
if you interrupt your diet. That’s why I respected only half of this principle
in the sense I had a normal life, normal alimentation but no excesses.
So Fitoterapy doesn’t address to the disease but to the man who suffers
of it.
By getting sick of Psoriasis and having the perspective of many cases
which couldn’t solve I remembered what the famous therapist Ovidiu Bujor
said about the human body and the way that plants action on it: “ The human
body actions and seems to look like a mechanism that one time couldn’t
function perfectly. By trying to take this mechanism to its original state,
we had to discover that ensemble, which have caused the (cold of the motor).
In the case of the machine the operation is simple, we exam every piece
until we see which one of them produces the problem.
In the case of the human so that the <car> could function
it should be checked the whole state of the cells, cause the sickness is
at the level of the cells.
Medicinal Plants
A French magazine published in the year 1977 a long study named “Plants
that heal”. The author said that selecting medicinal plants rarely went
to bad results that happened cause there wasn’t held the opinion and the
experience of traditional healers. This takes a part for at least 50% from
the success of the operation. It is a big mistake, said the author, to
ignore the popular experience in this line of therapy. The obtains of good
results in using plants in therapeutic ways is based by the quality of
plants which is conditioned by their contain of active substances, this
contain is determinate by genetic factors from the specie, from the moment
of plant obtaing to the way of drying and conserving and the last of the
plants.
For first, for the obtain of a prime quality matter we have to recognize
the plant’s organ with the higher level of active substances (roots, rhizoid,
aerial parts, leafs, flowers, fruits and seeds).
For the second, about the containing of active substances is the time
of recollecting which is conditioned by the state of vegetation of the
plant, (before blooming, in bloom, and the season).
In generally medicinal plants are recollecting on dry time, in the
morning, after the drops are evaporated or in the afternoon before the
appearing of the sun. Or there can be plants like menthe which is better
to be recollected after the disappearing of the sun. For not destroying
some species and to continue they’re growing at recollecting you must take
care of some things. Even from fruits we will let some quantities which
will assure the healing of the plant.
Also, about the way that extracts from plants are good you must take
care of the way of using and the right quantities.
Medicinal plants can be, as the affection we use them in, for intern
or extern use. In my case there were for intern use.
Also you must take care of the way you use teas in order with the principal
meals.
Vegetables and fruits adjuvant in natural therapy
Today is already known that lots of diseases can be ameliorated or even
healed with the help of a mixed alimentation and in which vegetables and
fruits must be on top.
The principle proprieties of them are for the fact that they contain,
like medicinal plants, lots of active substances. These are volatile oils,
glissades, flavonids, enzymes, antocians, sulfured compounds and minerals.
Vegetables and fruits are important also for their containing of vitamins,
nutritive factors and catabolic. Except the vitamins D and B12, which are
in, low quantities, the other vitamins A, C, B1, B2, B6 can be found in
different quantities. Know I’ll talk about different nutritive proportions
of fruits and vegetables.
From the therapeutic virtues of vegetables I remember you that telina
and cicoarea are aperitifs, ridichile and salate are laxatives, sparanghelul,
prazul, melons are diuretics, garlic and ceapa are viermifuge.
Glucose, levrose and fructose are an important sours of energy for
the organism. From the fruits, macesele have diuretic proprieties and antiseptics,
gutuile have astringent proprieties, emollients, prunele have stimulate
proprieties of the nervous, detoxifients.
Lemon, oranges, grefruits are exotic plants which play an important
place in the cellular metabolism.
Vegetables and fruits can be consumed ca atare or prepared in different
juices.
Apitherapy
If in the past, honey and the other apicole, were used in completing
and improving the man’s food, today they are used also at healing the diseases
of people and preventing different the pain and the suffering of human.
Bees add to the primitive product, ferments, enzymes, substance bactericide,
bacteriostatice, which have conferred some therapeutic virtues.
The apicole products can be used shared in two groups. Apicole products
natural and direct like honey, ceara, propolis, polen, pastura, laptisorul
de matca, bee poison and apilarnilul.
The apicole products natural but indirect like hidromelul, the honey
otetul, turtele and honey cookies. Creams with ceara and cosmetics based
on apicole products.
Honey, compared with propolis and the matca milk is efficient in affections
of the digestive tube, the liver and in insomnia.
Honey can be used simple or plus tea. I used for sweeting the teas
that I consumed daily sugar, but, from the after studies and the experience
of other sicken, I found out that it is more indicated to use honey.
Water as a therapeutic agent
Water represents one of the most perfect solvents which nature produced.
She represents almost 2/3 from the containing of the human body. An adult
who’s height is 70 kg there must have at least 50kg of water in his structure,
50%bof the hydride compound is in the cells, 45% in the intercellular spaces
and only 5% in the blood.
Like in nature where water is in a continue circulation there’s the
same with the human body. With the help of skin we loose 50ml a day, through
breathing we loose 350ml a day and through urine 150ml.
For regularizing the intestinal track the natural medicine recommends,
or consuming a teaspoon of water every half an hour or the same doze from
hour to hour in the interval lunch evening.
The power of thoughts
Factor of Psihotherapy
The old Indian and Chinese medicine say that a really important reason
is the thought roll in authority in awful disease etc.
People are taken by their own thoughts. And the release gives to the
man divine power so that’s why a big accent is on controlling bad thoughts.
The fear thought has the most terrible on humans. And other thoughts
make fear, un-safety of the next day, affect the organism but they don’t
destroy it as the fear thought does.
The bad thought or fear are from individual causes or general causes.
On the individual causes I won’t stop cause there are also for the bad
education of the thought
The general cause is the stress, more in urban areas, stress caused
by noise, infected air and intoxicated atmosphere. Different treathnings,
terror movies, a polluted culture, contaminated water and consuming synthetic
foods and drinks.
Even if the stressing elements can be changed by changing the medium,
the bad thought can be eliminated only by reeducating.
The general method of eliminating bad thoughts and especially fear
is optimism, laughing, and happiness.
By reading this rows, I’m sure that you will ask how can a man who
suffers of Psoriasis can be happy and smiling.
Of course I didn’t do this from the first but with the time I realized
that the treatment is good, I became optimistic, and I said to my self
that there’s just a matter of time.
A physic disease will attack the mind and a mental disease will attack
the good functioning of the body. There can be depressions of some nerval
centers and the blood can get poisoned with all the chime esentions released
in the time of the negative shock or the bad thought.
I will end this chapter with a last example about autosuggestion.
Lots of people by the passing of time they start saying, “ I’m getting
older and sicker “. These thoughts create big halls. The sicking of the
vases and the hair’s falling etc.
By keeping a good disposition and the young thoughts which help the
body every moment and younging it. By thinking we have 18 years our cells
will remake the nucleus and we will have again the tonusul of a teenager.
Being sick of Psoriasis, the thought that the treatment will give us
amelioration, the healing won’t be late in appearing.
These observations are from my own experience and from the discussion
with other patient that used Deniplant. I got to the conclusion that this
acts on intern which make this disease appear and from this reason it isn’t
necessary to treat the exterior cause there is a really thick relation
between the intern organs and skin.
In this way I can remember:
-Tiroide influents in a big measure the physic aspect of the sickness
;
-The hipofunction of the Suprarenal gets to pigmenting skin (the Addison
disease);
-The secretion of the Gonadols regulates the aspect in function of
sex and the evolution of some diseases like Acne;
-The affections of liver influence the color of the skin.;
Everybody knows that a substance put on the skin, in 24 it goes with
our blood in the whole body. That is why is very important to take care
of what ointments or solutions for extern use, you take. Of course I’ve
met grave cases in which interrupting from the first moment. They used
cream, simple alternating with ointment, then only the cream and In the
end they didn’t have to use the cream. That’s how they realized that their
organism responded to this treatment and the skin is healed.

A MAN FIGHT AGAINST PSORIASIS
Gheorghe Giurgiu was sick of Psoriasis, and what he suffered impulsion
him for making this autoexperiment. He put passion on this way and after
lots of spended hours, he created a tea that gave him the waited healing.
At the international Exposition for New Tehnics Inventa97’ which was from
17-30 may in Bucharest. He received the golden medal. The Deniplant Tea
is a powder of plants, which is good in psoriasis.
The method in Mondial Premier it could save lots of sick people from
Romania and the whole world.
It could…cause Mr.Gheorghe Giurgiu needs logistic support, trust from
the local medical community and conditions for organizing another parallel
experiment. It’s much? It’s less? We don’t know. What we know is that the
author of this natural heal against a sickness without real allopathic
healing, he’s not a doctor, he’s not a biochemist. He’s just an autodidactic
which by all the suffering and his creativity, he could become a pioneer
of modern tehnic in healing this sickness. Now days the sickness is treated
with ointments, violet razes, PUVA razes or drugs for intern use that only
ameliorate the lesions. They don’t action against the intern cause, cause
they don’t know the therapeutic way, and that is why the sickness reappears.
With the help of the medicinal plants from the Romanian fauna, without
associating this treatment with medicaments or diet, Mr. Giurgiu can action
on the mechanisms that generate this sickness. The discovered product has
proved his therapeutic valor in other dermatological causes affections
like Lupus Eritematos or Zoster Area. It wouldn’t be the first time when
a Romanian invents a product that can evoluate the limits of the human
knowing. It won’t be bad for anyone if this generous promision to be transformed
into hope for sick people of Psoriasis, Lupus Erimatos, Zoster Area or
burns of the skin. The interest of some foreign patients in this product
could cost us loosing the paternity on this product.
It wouldn’t be the first time when we loose what we have!
That was said, and ‘‘God bless you” as it helped
me.
