White Pine History in Canada
FOR EDUCATION & INFORMATION PURPOSES:
Back Story on Ontario White Pine (Pinus strobus L.)
"At Stadaconna, now Quebec City, Canada, Cartier's crew was cured from scurvy by ascorbic acid (vitamin C) obtained as a decoction from the Iroquois First Nation Peoples. It was prepared by boiling winter leaves/needles and the bark from an evergreen tree. The tree, identified as "Annedda", became known as the "tree of life" or "arbre de vie" because of its remarkable curative effects. Identified as: Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus L.)
"The candidate 'tree of life' aka Eastern White Pine is a rich nutritional source of arginine, proline and other amino acids. Their physiological fluids and proteins contain amino acids which are essential in the human diet because the body does not synthesize them (viz., phenylalanine, valine, threonine, tryptophan, isoleucine, methionine, leucine, and lysine). Arginine, cysteine, glycine, glutamine, histidine, proline, serine and tyrosine are conditionally essential, meaning they are not normally required in the diet, but must be supplied to specific populations that do not synthesize these amino acids in adequate amounts. Today, these amino acids are used as nutritional support for the recovery of critically ill patients. In the recovery from scurvy they would help to promote vitamin C-dependent collagen biosynthesis, promote wound healing, reduce susceptibility to sepsis, and contribute to recovery from illness".

First Nations Peoples have used Eastern White Pine Needle tea for centuries, especially in north eastern Canada. Beneficial all year round, it was prized most during the winter to prevent illness and provide nourishment. When white settlers came to the continent they often suffered from scurvy—a disease resulting from vitamin C deficiency—until the natives introduced them to White Pine Needle tea. White Pine Pine needles contain several times more vitamin C than fresh orange juice.
SURAMIN, THE FRUIT OF EARLY MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY:
Suramin is a derivative of the oils in White Pine needles.
"Suramin further decreases the activities of a large number of enzymes involved in DNA and RNA synthesis and modification: DNA polymerases (103, 104), RNA polymerases (103, 105, 106), reverse transcriptase (18, 103), telomerase (67), and enzymes involved in winding/ unwinding of DNA (107, 108) are inhibited by suramin, as well as histone- and chromatin-modifying enzymes like chromobox proteins (109), methyltransferases (110), and sirtuin histone deacetylases (111)
This is medical-speak for inhibiting the inappropriate replication and modification of RNA and DNA.
"The whole herbal source (needles) is superior to the single compound extract (Suramin) – because the needles possess a full complement of phytonutrients providing numerous additional benefits that the extract is incapable of."
Now, here is the direct connection between Suramin and White Pine Needle Tea:
"The compound Suramin was first isolated in 1837 through a distillation of pine needles by the Polish chemist Filip Walter.
"Pine needle tea or extract/tincture provides a superior, benefit, due in part to the fact that it is a direct mild extract of the whole herb leaving many of its properties still intact that might be destroyed by excessive heat during distillation and further dissection of its many nutrient components."
