Magnesium cream found to successfully treat high blood pressure without resorting to dangerous prescription medications

Using a magnesium cream may serve as an alternative or an add-on to drug treatment against high blood pressure, a study in PLOS One revealed.

According to the researchers at the University of Hertfordshire in the U.K., only 86 percent of the general population meet the recommended magnesium intake. The health experts noted that the essential mineral boosts immune function and heart health.

The scientists also stressed that adequate magnesium levels help prevent the onset of metabolic syndrome, a condition characterized by a combination of high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity.

To carry out the study, the researchers teamed up with the Centre for Magnesium Education and Research in Hawaii to examine a group of participants who were given either a magnesium cream or a placebo. The participants were instructed to apply two five ml spoonfuls of cream each daily for two weeks.

The experts then collected the participants’ urine sample after 12 to 14 days. The results showed that volunteers who applied magnesium cream exhibited a significant increase in magnesium levels in the blood. The scientists did not observe a similar increase in those who applied the placebo cream.

The findings may show potential in alleviating hypertension, which puts people at an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and vascular dementia. Hypertension currently affects 75 million Americans and 16 million people in the U.K.

“This study is the first to look at the absorbency of transdermal magnesium creams in human subjects, so is a significant step in determining whether or not these creams could potentially be used as an alternative to oral supplements. Our initial findings indicate that magnesium creams could well be a viable and effective alternative to taking oral magnesium supplements in tablet form,” study author Lindsy Kass told Daily Mail online.

“Low magnesium intake has been shown to cause many health problems, including high blood pressure and cardiovascular issues, so these creams could potentially be a good way to contribute to the increase in magnesium levels and therefore help in reducing the associated health problems. Many people do not like taking pills or have difficulty ingesting them, whereas a cream could be used easily on a daily basis – for example by rubbing it into the skin after showering,” Kass added.

However, the research team noted that these findings warranted further investigation.

Previous study shows magnesium intake promotes heart health

The recent findings on magnesium’s efficacy as a topical treatment were reflective of previous studies demonstrating the mineral’s cardiovascular benefits.

For instance, a meta-analysis published in December 2016 showed that a diet rich in magnesium may reduce the odds of developing heart disease and diabetes.(Related: Magnesium can improve heart health and prevent heart attack deaths (Opinion).)

As part of the study, a team of Chinese researchers pooled data on dietary magnesium intake and chronic disease prevalence from 40 studies published between 19999 and 2016.

The results showed that people with the highest dietary magnesium intake were 10 percent less likely to develop heart disease, 12 percent less likely to have a stroke, and 26 percent less likely to develop diabetes than those who had lower magnesium levels.

However, increasing magnesium levels by up to 100 milligrams a day helped reduce the odds of these adverse events. The research team noted that raising magnesium levels by the said amount slashed the risk of heart failure and stroke by 22 and sevent percent, respectively.

The health experts also said that increasing magnesium intake may result in a 19 percent reduction in diabetes risk and a 10 percent decrease in all-cause mortality risk.

“Increasing dietary magnesium intake is associated with a reduced risk of stroke, heart failure, diabetes, and all-cause mortality, but not CHD [coronary heart disease] or total CVD [cardiovascular disease]. These findings support the notion that increasing dietary magnesium might provide health benefits,” the researchers wrote in BMC Medicine.

Mike Adams joins Vin Armani for powerful discussion on health tyranny, defensive eating and how we achieve liberty through nutrition

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, sat down with political activist and author Vin Armani last Aug. 21st to talk about health; its biggest threats and how you can protect yours the natural way.

Armani got the ball rolling with the simple yet powerful question about what inspired the Health Ranger to become the “outspoken consumer health advocate” he is today. Mike Adams revealed that he was once like the majority of the population and bought into the mainstream media’s lies about “health, food, and medicine.” Because of this, he shambled through his 30s “a health wreck” who was “borderline obese, borderline type-2 diabetic” and bogged down with “chronic pain, depression, and all those things.”

It was then that Mike Adams opened his eyes to the truth: that the drug companies supposedly committed to our health were actually profiting off our illnesses and that our government claims to be protecting our bodies when in truth they’re poisoning our food supply and making us sick. He cited the processed meat and sodium nitrate cover-up pulled off by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in the 1970s, one that was spurned on by a lobby from the meat industry.

From here, Armani asked the Health Ranger about the push-back he received on the truth about vaccines. Mike Adams responded by describing at length the variety of health-promoting foods one could easily find in their local grocery, and how scientific papers are being written about these foods and their amazing benefits. The curcumin in turmeric, resveratrol in red grapes, sulforaphane in broccoli, and catechins in green tea were just some of the healing nutrients he mentioned that had “powerful medicinal effects” and could free us of our dependence on the pharmaceutical industry, doctors, and healthcare. (Related: 5 foods and spices to keep your immune system strong when fighting cancer.)

“You know what’s affordable? Staying healthy and preventing diseases,” said Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.

The Health Ranger then went on to speak about Food and Drug Administration (FDA) whistleblower Dr. David Graham, who is also poised to star in the upcoming environmental feature flick “Biosludged”. Because of Graham, the collusion between the FDA and pharmaceutical companies became widespread, making it known that harmful medicines like the liver-damaging diabetes drug Rezulin were put out for public consumption because of this collusion.

William Thompson, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) whistleblower, was also mentioned for his efforts to let the public know that certain vaccines were increasing the likelihood of autism among African-American babies.

All the more reason for people to not trust the pharmaceutical industry and to instead go back to basics.

“The wisdom of natural medicine is much, much older than the pharmaceutical industry by far and older than the FDA,” Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, stated. “In fact, 80 percent of the world’s population currently relies on what’s called ‘indigenous medicine’, which is medicine people grow in their own backyard…all over the world there is traditional medicine and it is affordable. It is safe. It is effective, and it works.”

The Health Ranger, described how he is “a big believer in self-reliance and growing your own food and medicine” and that the people should practice this as well to free themselves from the medicinal and health monopoly put in place by the those who want to fatten their pockets through our bodies.

Mangoes might be the ultimate superfood for diabetes: New science finds they control both blood sugar and blood pressure

Eating mangoes may hold potential in preventing metabolic disorders and diabetes, according to four separate studies presented at the 2017 Experimental Biology Conference.

In one of the studies, a team of researchers at the Texas A&M University’s Department of Nutrition and Food Science examined how lean and obese individuals absorbed, metabolized, and excreted gallic acid, galloyl glycosides, and gallotannin following mango consumption for six weeks. According to the researchers, eating mangoes for an extended period can increase the fruit’s anti-inflammatory effects compared with irregular consumption.

In another randomized study, health experts from the same university assessed how mango consumption affects the gut microbiota in both lean and obese individuals. The research team also investigated the fruit’s potential in containing galloyl metabolites and anti-inflammatory activities. It affirmed that galloyl-derivatives from mango may contain therapeutic potential in addressing obesity and metabolic disorder. However, the experts noted that larger-scale studies are warranted to confirm the findings.

In yet another study from the same university, a team of scientists evaluated the metabolic effects of daily mango consumption for six weeks among lean and obese participants. The researchers noted that eating mangoes daily during study period helped reduce blood pressure levels in lean participants. They also found that daily consumption helped obese participants maintain long-term glucose homeostasis. (Related: Mango, the new diabetes and cancer buster)

On the other hand, a study carried out by researchers at the Oklahoma State University assessed the post-prandial responses of otherwise healthy men after eating a high-fat breakfast with or without a mango shake. The experts found that drinking the mango shake made a modest difference in the participants’ post-meal response.

Previous study supports mangoes’ potential in diabetes management

The recent findings were reflective of past research that demonstrated the beneficial effects of mangoes on patients with diabetes. For instance, a study carried out by researchers at the Oklahoma State University’s College of Human Sciences found that mango consumption may lower blood glucose levels in obese adults. As part of the study, the researchers examined 20 obese adults who were instructed to eat 10 grams of freeze-dried mango for 12 weeks.

The study showed that the patients displayed relatively lower blood sugar levels by the end of the study. Male participants also showed marked reductions in waist circumference, the experts noted.

“We are excited about these promising findings for mangoes, which contain many bioactive compounds, including mangiferin, an antioxidant that may contribute to the beneficial effects of mango on blood glucose. In addition, mangoes contain fiber, which can help lower glucose absorption into the bloodstream. Our results indicate that daily consumption of 10 g of freeze-dried mango, which is equivalent to about one-half of a fresh mango (about 100 g), may help lower blood sugar in obese individuals…We believe this research suggests that mangoes may give obese individuals a dietary option in helping them maintain or lower their blood sugar. However, the precise component and mechanism has yet to be found and further clinical trials are necessary, particularly in those that have problems with sugar control, such as diabetics, are necessary,” said lead author Edralin Lucas.

“The results of this study support what we learned in our recent animal model, which found that mango improved blood glucose in mice fed a high-fat diet. Although the mechanism by which mango exerts its effects warrants further investigation, we do know that mangoes contain a complex mixture of polyphenolic compounds. Research has shown that several other plants and their polyphenolic compounds…have a positive effect on [fat] tissue,” Lucas said in a separate article on the Diabetes Self Management website.

Researchers find that an egg a day can increase growth in young children

Adults aren’t the only ones who can benefit from eggs: Babies can as well. Researchers from Washington University in St. Louis found that giving a child an egg a day greatly reduces their chances of becoming stunted or underweight. Moreover, babies as young as six months can benefit greatly from consuming an egg daily.

For their 2015 study, which has been published in Pediatrics, the researchers went to the Cotopaxi Province in Ecuador and gave free eggs to the families of 83 infants, all of whom were between six to nine months, for a year. The control group of 80 infants were given none. Each week, the families were asked what the children were eating; nutrient levels were also tested. When the study concluded, the researchers noticed that group of infants who were given eggs were healthier than before. The number of underweight children in that group shrunk down by 74 percent while cases of stunting was reduced by 47 percent. When tested for nutrients, the egg group infants had higher levels of nutrients in their blood, including vitamin B12, a vitamin essential for the upkeep of several metabolic functions.

“We were surprised by just how effective this intervention proved to be,” lead author Dr. Lara Ianotti told the DailyMail.co.uk. In addition to the lowered cases of stunting, the infants from the egg group were also reported as being less likely to eat sugary foods.

On benefit of eggs, Ianotti said: “Eggs can be affordable and easily accessible. They are also a good source of nutrients for growth and development in young children. Eggs seem to be a viable and recommended source of nutrition for children in developing countries.” (Related: Research: Eggs are a great source of protein, minerals and carotenoids)

Health benefits of eggs

Eggs are full of nutrients that are essential for growing children. Apart from vitamin B12, eggs contain vitamins A, K, E, and D. Vitamin D is one essential vitamin that isn’t normally found in vegetables or fruits, so adding eggs to a baby’s diet will ensure that they get enough of this vitamin. Selenium is a mineral that helps support the immune system; it’s also one of the many nutrients present in eggs. In addition to selenium, zinc, another immune system-boosting mineral, can be found in eggs.

Eggs are also known for their high amounts of cholesterol, a substance that adults need to limit on. Among children, however, cholesterol is absolutely essential since it works together with choline and fats like omega-3 to boost brain development.

A simple way to introduce eggs to children early on is to hard boil them. Hard boiled eggs are easy to prepare and mix in with formula, milk, or whatever is normally being fed to the child. Eggs can also be fried or scrambled and can be made even healthier by mixing in a purée of fruits or vegetables.

Eating junk food causes DEPRESSION that most people treat with pills rather than nutrition

 Depression is on the rise, and there is no shortage of advice out there for the 15 million American adults who suffer from it. Unfortunately, a lot of this advice steers people toward taking antidepressants, which opens them up to a whole other world of problems that can be even more devastating than the disease itself.

You might come across articles touting the benefits of therapy, which is a safe and effective route for many sufferers, but another very valid approach that can help people make real progress tends to get glossed over: A healthy, well-balanced diet. Some articles about depression might briefly mention getting a good night’s sleep and eating a proper diet almost as an afterthought, but the significance of proper nutrition when it comes to depression is far greater than many people realize.

In fact, Dutch scientists recently found that the damage to tiny blood vessels caused by a poor diet can increase a person’s risk of depression by nearly 60 percent. Eating junk food can lead to high blood pressure and diabetes, both of which can destroy the tiny blood vessels known as capillaries that carry oxygen throughout the body. When these capillaries are damaged, the body’s organs get a reduced supply of oxygen. The kidneys, nerves, skin and eyes can all be affected, and one organ that is particularly vulnerable is the brain. A lack of oxygen to the brain disrupts chemical levels, and this neurotransmitter imbalance is believed to be a cause of depression.

Their conclusion was reached after analyzing data from more than 43,000 adults above the age of 40 — 9,203 of whom had been diagnosed with depression — across 712 studies. Those whose blood showed signs of injury had a 58 percent higher risk of developing depression, while those who had endured small strokes due to capillary failure had a 30 percent higher risk of depression.

Study after study links poor diet to depression

This supports the findings of a study published earlier this year in BMC Medicine wherein depressed people who switched from a poor diet to a healthier Mediterranean diet noted a significant improvement in their levels of depression. In that study, nearly a third of those who cleaned up their diet found their depression symptoms going into complete remission.

The Mediterranean diet focuses on organic fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and olive oil, as well as legumes and nuts. It’s low in meat, while dairy and alcohol intake are moderate. Another study from the Journal of the American Medical Association found that those who closely adhere to the Mediterranean diet had a risk of depression that was 30 percent lower than those who did not follow it.

Meanwhile, a study that was carried out by University of Melbourne researchers involving more than 900 women over the course of ten years found that those who ate a diet that was high in foods like pizzas, hamburgers, white bread, beer, and sugary foods were 50 percent more likely to suffer from depression or anxiety than those who did not eat such an unhealthy diet.

Look to your kitchen, not a pill bottle

Improving your diet might sound like a simple solution, but the reality of giving up longstanding habits can be quite a challenge – and pharmaceutical companies have a lot at stake in convincing you that their pills are a convenient answer. Popping a pill is indeed a lot easier than giving your diet an overhaul, but many people who take the easy way out end up regretting it.

Not only are most antidepressants shockingly ineffective, but they’ve also been associated with side effects like nausea, weight gain, insomnia, loss of sexual desire, and an increased risk of suicide. Eating a nutritious diet, on the other hand, has side effects like improved heart health, weight loss, increased energy, better overall health, and increased longevity. If you’re depressed and want to improve your mental and physical health at the same time, these studies show you won’t find the answer in a pill bottle; you’ll find it in your kitchen.

Burdock Root Nutrition Facts and Health Benefits

Ever since the ancient of times, burdock root has been used for its medicinal properties. Burdock is also known as gobo, having its origins in Asia and particularly in Japan. Today, it has become popular all over the world, being used for a wide-range of purposes. It is often used in the kitchen and, probably, just as often, for the health benefits that it has to offer. If this subject has sparked your interest, do not hesitate to keep on reading the rest of the article. Discover more information on the health benefits of burdock root, as well as interesting nutrition facts.

Health Benefits and Nutrition Facts

Burdock root can help one maintain an excellent state of health, given the fact that it contains numerous beneficial substances. The root is rich in antioxidants, which can protect the body against a wide range of medical conditions. Moreover, due to this rich content in antioxidants, the burdock root can improve the overall cognitive functioning. Now, you do not have to ask yourself how to improve memory. With this natural remedy, you can enjoy such beneficial changes and keep neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease, at a safe distance.

About its caloric content, it is important to mention that the burdock root has a low-calorie intake to offer. 100 g delivers only 72 calories, which makes it the ideal choice for those who want to lose weight. The high content in polysaccharides, inulin, in particular, can help those who suffer from constipation. The root, when consumed on a regular basis, can maintain both blood sugar and cholesterol at stable and healthy levels.

It is important to mention that the Burdock root is rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly folic acid, niacin, riboflavin, vitamin C and vitamin E. Moreover, it represents a good source of potassium, with 100 g of burdock root providing 308 mg of this mineral. All of these beneficial substances can help you maintain a healthy heart and, at the same time, they can provide the necessary assistance in treating inflammatory conditions, such as the different types of arthritis. The burdock root delivers a wealth of beneficial substances to the suffering joints, thus improving the range of motion and eliminating discomforting symptoms, such as pain or stiffness. It is also rich in other minerals, such as magnesium, iron, zinc, calcium, and selenium, contributing to the general health of the body.

Medicinal Uses of the Burdock Root

The Burdock root can be used to eliminate toxins from the blood and other parts of the body, acting as an excellent blood purifier and also as a powerful diuretic. About topical applications, it can be used for the successful treatment of different skin conditions, such as dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis. Even those who suffer from dry skin can benefit from the topical applications with Burdock root, given its soothing properties.

Given its rich content in vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial substances, it should come as no surprise that the Burdock root can be used to stimulate the health of important organs, such as the heart, liver or gallbladder. Returning once more to topical applications, it should be mentioned that the root can be used to improve respiratory conditions. About the health of the gastrointestinal tract, the Burdock root can be used in patients who suffer from digestive disorders (gas, dyspepsia, heartburn, etc.). Being rich in fiber, it can improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, representing an efficient remedy against constipation.

As it was already mentioned above, Burdock root can be an excellent remedy against high blood pressure. This is, of course, related to its rich content in potassium, which we all know to act as a vasodilator within the body. Thus, by keeping the blood pressure at a healthy, stable level, Burdock root prevents the appearance of more serious conditions, such as stroke or heart attack.

For diabetes patients, the consumption of Burdock root is more than recommended. This is because it contains a lot of fiber, which can regulate the levels of insulin and glucose within the body. Moreover, it is rich in inulin, which is well-known for its ability to improve the symptoms caused by diabetes.

According to the specialists in the field, the Burdock root is recommended for consumptions in patients who suffer from hormonal imbalances. Natural remedies can offer to bring back the necessary balance of the hormones within the body and Burdock root is quite efficient in this area. It can stimulate the health of the liver, thus helping this rather important organ to metabolize different hormones, such as estrogen.

Interestingly enough, Burdock root also has a positive influence on the immune system. As it is rich in vitamin E and vitamin C, it delivers a healthy dose of antioxidants to the body, thus providing the necessary protection against a wide range of conditions. Consumed on a regular basis, it can lower the risk of cancer and also prevent the appearance of other chronic, potentially life-threatening conditions.

What else you should know about the Burdock Root

Burdock root can either be purchased fresh or dried, depending on your location. It is recommended to always cook the root before consuming it, mixing it with other fresh vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots or onions. Avoid roots that have lost their natural color or those that are excessively dry, as these do not have the same nutritional content to offer. If you are already taking diuretics, it is advisable to talk to your doctor before including Burdock root in your diet (as this has diuretic properties as well).

Final Word

Burdock root can represent an interesting addition to your diet, as it has so many health benefits to offer. As you have seen, it can also be used for topical applications, especially when it comes to skin conditions and arthritis. It can be consumed in a wide range of ways, being particularly delicious as part of Japanese dishes, so make sure to give it a try.

Cancer Diagnoses / Why I Chose the Holistic Approach

As soon as I received my cancer diagnosis, I started to educate myself. I wanted to understand as much as possible what was happening to me, analyze all the facts and make a rational decision.

I gathered information from different physicians and clinics in various geographic areas. I read books, including “Cancer Step Outside the Box” by Ty M. Bollinger, “Beating Cancer with Nutrition” by Patrick Quillin, and “The China Study” by Thomas and T. Colin Campbell. I visited a wide range of websites and read what seemed like hundreds of articles. I attended lectures, read postings on discussion boards, and more. I know this may not be realistic for many cancer patients but I do believe a patient must be empowered to make the best choice for them once they understand all the facts.

I gathered all the facts, laid it all out, prayed, and meditated. I know this may not be realistic for many cancer patients but I do believe a patient must be empowered to make the best choice for them once they understand all the facts. I know that some people are just too ill to do all of this homework, that they really need an advocate to handle this for them, I was grateful to be able to look at all the statistics, read all the information, and make my own decision. Because ultimately I think that if we really sit with ourselves and spend time with ourselves in stillness, and truly focus on the facts that are laid out there, we will know what we need to do.

And the thing that was resonating with my mind and spirit and inner being was the holistic approach. This is what made sense to me. I just couldn’t grasp the idea that just by removing a body part healing would take place. I knew that my body was created in perfection and there is a reason why I developed cancer. I decided to embark myself on the road less traveled and went on quest to find to cause and cure of my cancer.

This conviction was reinforced in my consultations with various medical specialists, especially the surgeons. When I would ask these specialists questions about why I had cancer, how my diet may have impacted my situation, or what additional steps I could proactively take to improve the situation, they had no answers. None. Nada. Zip. The answers I got were along the lines of “It’s just bad luck, maybe something in your genes. But that’s okay. We’ll just remove it and treat it and then you’ll continue going on living your life as you always have.”

But this just did not make sense to me. God did not create us to get cancer. There must be external and/or internal influences of some sort. Take food, for example. If you look at the things that mankind is now doing to our food—pesticides, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and other toxic things—it seems to me that this must have an impact on our bodies today. If you compare how food was grown and produced 50 years ago to now, you’ll see it was completely different. It’s no coincidence that cancer rates were much lower then.

Nutrition is just one factor. It seemed to me that there must be many more. I have now learned that cancer is a multifactorial disease and a cancer diagnoses is the result of an acquired deficiency. The question is to what?

I felt that I had to take responsibility for what was happening to me, and be responsible for making changes for my health. Because I wanted to live, and I believed that if I had been doing things right in the first place my body would not have developed cancer. So why would I want to go right back to whatever it was that got me here? Wouldn’t that approach increase the chances that I would get cancer again?

The truth is, throughout this entire education and fact-gathering process, the one thing that kept resonating with me was the holistic approach. It made sense. The conventional medical approach did not. So the holistic approach is what I chose.

What Happens With Your Body When You Combine Your Coffee with Cigarettes

Both coffee and cigarettes are stimulants, but while one thing is restricting the flow of blood, the other accelerates and increases it. In common combination additionally burdens the heart.

The coffee is a drink that if not often consumed on an empty stomach it does not harm your body. While the harmfulness of cigarettes is commonly known.

Larger doses of coffee with time may decrease bone density, but if you enter about 1000 mg of calcium every day and want to drink coffee, you have no reason for concern.

The caffeine needs about one hour to take effect (maybe less if your stomach is empty) and its effect lasts for four to six hours. Coffee helps in boosting alertness and increases blood pressure, but if consumed in large amounts, you can become nervous, sleepy, dehydrated and tired.

On the other hand, by the inhalation of cigarette smoke, it damages your central nervous system, blood sugar levels rise, blood vessels are shrinking and the arteries are getting damaged.

Nutritionists explain that coffee acidifies the body, and in combination with cigarettes, it is even higher acidity, and further destroys the stomach. Remember to drink the first morning coffee half an hour before breakfast.

Both coffee and cigarettes are stimulants, with different effects to the kidneys and heart. The body starts to work against itself and creates an environment for a disproportionate loss of energy and the development of depression that causes physiological and psychological desire to continue the consumption of coffee and cigarettes. Thus increasing dependence on these two things.

If you want to prevent all this, experts advise to start exercising or to increase the intensity of your training.

They Live For 120 Years, Look Twice As Young And Haven’t Been Sick For One Day: All Secrets Of Their People!

Their living habitat is called ‘The oasis of life’, and these are their everyday habits which bring them the elixir of youth ad health.

The Hunzakuts are an old nation of people, prospering on the border between Pakistan and India, and these same people have been known for a magnificent longevity of about 110-120 years.

They are almost never ill, and thanks to their genetic system, they always look young. They are a true example of what an ideal life really is. The Hunza people bathe themselves in ice cold water at temperatures reaching 15 degrees below zero and have children even when they are 65.

During the summer, they eat fresh vegetables and fruit and when winter comes they consume die apricots, corn and sheep milk cheese. There is a time when the Hunzakuts eat nothing, a period known as ‘starving spring’. The name is derived from the fact that during this period fruits are not ripe yet, so they only drink dried apricots juice. This period lasts 2-4 months and is considered a cult in their history.

Their protein intake is brought down to minimum, taking 1933 calories per day out which 50g are proteins, 36g are fat and 365g are carbs. Many visitors in this exquisite area have all concluded that the secret to their long lives is the healthy nutrition.

Experiments as proof

The Scottish doctor, Mac Harrison, has conducted an animal experiment right upon returning to England. He gave one group normal food of average London-based families composed of white bread, herring, refined sugar, canned food and cooked vegetables. As a result of such nutrition, many animals have suffered several human diseases.

The second group of animals has been fed the Hunzakuts food and remained in perfect health. In 1984, a Chinese magazine has described a very interesting event. One member of the Hunza people, named Said Abdul Mobuda, had confused all employees in the Department of Immigration by showing them his passport. He was born in 1832 and was 160 years old. He was considered a protector of the Hunza folks and had memory of events dating from 1850.

The book ‘Hunzakuts- people who do not know of illness’, by R. Bircher points out the basic characteristics of their nutrition, claiming they are essential for a healthy life:

‘The vegetarian nutrition is based on large amounts of fresh groceries, dominated by fruits and vegetables, organic products without additional chemicals and groceries which are prepared in such way that all their biological characteristics are preserved. Alcohol and sweets are on the list of rarely consumed ingredients- instead, a regular period of starvation is enforced.’

In 1977, at the International Congress for Cancer Diseases in Paris, experts announced that ‘According to the geocancerology (a science which explores cancers in different regions of the world), a total cancer-free zone is only noticed in the Hunzakuts.

For these people, walking 100-200 kilometers a day is the same as it is for us to walk around the house. Also, their constantly smiled faces and excellent moods only enhance their well being, both physically and mentally.

Don’t Throw Away The Walnut Shells – They Are A Great Medicine For A Number Of Diseases

Barriers of walnut shells have unique properties, a large amount of iodine required for the normal functioning of the human body. Iodine deficiency can lead to the development of many diseases, including thyroid disorder, diseases of the breasts, uterus, prostate adenoma, diabetes.

Very often the lack of iodine results in general weakness, trembling hands, sweating, nervousness, irritability, high blood pressure, and insomnia. Iodine deficiency is very common disease among older people. In order to check if body doesn’t lack iodine it would be best to put some iodine on your elbows in the evening. In the morning if there is no iodine on your elbows it means that your body has sucked iodine because it doesn’t have enough. In the opposite if you have enough iodine in your body there will remain traces on the skin. It’s a simple test. In case you lack iodine, the best remedies are the barriers of a walnut shell.

Take half a cup of walnut barriers, put in a bowl and pour over 2 cups of water, leave it to boil, then chill for 10 minutes, and drink one sip before eating. The treatment lasts 1-4 months with taking control of the state of iodine in the body through the original control (with the increase of iodine in the body the skin will absorb less). The result is improved health, normalization of metabolism and restored peace. These walnut partitions help people suffering from conjunctivitis (a lot of work on the computer). Take a coffee grinder and grind half a cup of walnut barriers, pour 1.5 cups of water, bring to a boil and then cool down for 20 minutes, strain through several layers of gauze and lubricate the eyelids several times, repeat the same procedure after 2 weeks.

Medicines of walnut barriers are used in the treatment of adenoma of the prostate and ovarian cysts. In that sense take 2 tablespoons of barriers and pour over 1.5 cups of water, cook for 20 minutes on a low heat for, leave it an hour to cool down and drink this potion 3 times a day. The most effective is the alcoholic tincture for treating diseases of iodine deficiency. This tincture is used for thyroid disease, gastrointestinal tract, joints, hypertension, high blood pressure, diabetes, shaky hands, sweating, insomnia, irritability,, uterine myomas, headaches . Fill a bottle with 1/3 of walnut barriers and pour good brandy or vodka of about 40*C over them.

Woman Combines Coconut Oil And Cannabis Oil

A lady was diagnosed with advanced terminal lung cancer and even though doctors said it is incurable, her daughter took efforts to obtain cannabis oil for healing after her mother received the oncologist’s death sentence of six months left to live with her cancer. She preserved with amazing results and after curing her stage 4 lung cancer within 3 months she courageously posted an upbeat, outspoken YouTube testimonial.

She is from Australia and her family appears to be very comfortably middle class. However, cannabis is illegal there. It happened at the beginning of 2014 when she was diagnosed with a small cell of lung carcinoma after couple of attempts to get a biopsy done to determine the extent of masses discovered by scans earlier. Her oncologist did not approve radiation stating that it was not possible and undergoing chemo will only prolong her life for couple of months with a considerably less than an optimum quality of life. After that, she and her husband searched the internet and found cannabis groups, mostly in the USA, getting what information she could as well as how to make and use the oil.

The realized that the oil has to be high in THC in order to cure cancer and the standard is working up to a gram a day. The psychotropic aspects of THC overwhelmed her before she could get even close to that standard of 1 gr per day for curing cancer. Thus, they created a mix of half gram of coconut oil with half gram of cannabis into a syringe, inserting the syringe rectally, and squeezing the total amount 2 times a day. This gave her the full daily amount of THC loaded cannabis needed to meet the one gram a day standard without the psychotropic effects of oral ingestion, vaping, or smoking cannabis.

The back door method is the best approach when it comes to lung issues. Essential oils that are absorbed into the abdominal veins bypass the liver and are fed directly into the heart-lung circulatory system without previously being subjected to biotransformation by the liver detox enzyme system. Then they reach the lower bronchial capillaries in their original lipophilic and volatile state, still capable of eliminating pathogenic microorganisms and dissolving and expectorating mucus.

The original Rick Simpson Oil is made with a pound of hemp and naphtha, a toxic solvent which is highly flammable, but smaller amounts of bud (1 oz.) with 190 proof grain alcohol (95% by volume) can be used to produce full extract cannabis oil. It has been proven to work safely, easily, and requires less of this wonder plant. The video explains everything. Check it out.

This Juice Successfully Prevents Cancer, Diabetes, Gastritis and Lowers Blood Pressure

Did you know that the juice of potato is more effective than any medicine and proven to treat cancer, diabetes, gastritis, high blood pressure and many other serious illnesses?

Useful properties of raw potatoes have long been known to folk medicine, but despite that, we still think it should not be consumed raw potatoes. It’s a mistake, because in its raw form, potatoes are very healthy and extremely useful food.

With numerous misconceptions regarding the consumption of potatoes, it is worth mentioning that the prevailing opinion is that it is necessary to peel off the potatoes before eating, because its shell is poisonous.

In fact, the shell of organically grown potatoes does not contain any substances that are harmful to health.

Immature potatoes with green skin and potatoes sprout can be dangerous. The danger lies in solanine – the poison that exists in germ and green parts of potatoes. However, in such a potato you can easily remove the shell before use.

Potatoes as a cure for many serious diseases

Many prominent experts, such as John Lesindzer and Dr. John Tucakov, wrote about the healing properties of potato juice.

Lesindzer believes that the potato juice is a natural medicine for the treatment of gastritis, one of the most common diseases of modern times.

He recommends taking one tablespoon of potato juice diluted with a little water, half an hour before breakfast, lunch and dinner.

In the treatment of duodenal and stomach are advised to take half deciliter of potato juice on an empty stomach, and then half deciliter half an hour before lunch and dinner.

Dr John Tucakov claims that the juice of the potato has a beneficial effect on reducing blood sugar levels, as well as in the treatment of lung diseases and respiratory diseases and even severe illnesses such as emphysema.

Buddhist monk Tomizawa, author of the book “The road to a healthy lifestyle: Cancer is nothing to fear,” according to the daily consumption of half a pint of potato juice can greatly contribute to cure cancer and other serious diseases.

To conclude on the efficiency of potato in the fight against cancer, is gradually coming through scientific research.

Kagamine Professor of Medicine University of Akita (Japan), has managed to isolate the substance of raw potatoes, which proved to be effective in suppressing the growth of tumor cells in mice. The results of this research were published in the International Congress for the fight against cancer, which was held in Germany.

Juice of potato is used as a part of the famous Broy’s cancer therapy.

Today, the potato is gaining importance as an effective tool in the fight against diseases of the kidneys and liver, but also in cases of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, lumbago, rheumatism and so on.

Notwithstanding the positive effects in the treatment of serious diseases, drinking juice of raw potato is an excellent tool for strengthening the immune system.

In addition, it helps in reducing the frequent headaches and menstrual pain.

If you feel weak or exhausted, drink juice made from a single medium-sized potato, carrots and apples, once daily in the morning and evening, and in only two weeks you will get back the good health condition.

The potato peel is contributing to the detoxification of the body and is the source of many nutrients.

If you eat unpeeled potatoes, especially raw, your body will get a lot of valuable ingredients, such as carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins C and B6, potassium, iron, magnesium and zinc.

It is important to note that vitamin C loses while cooking, which is really a great pity, because the raw potato medium size (150 grams) is as much as 27 mg of vitamin C, which makes 45% of the recommended daily intake of this vitamin.

Among other things, the potato is very effective in treating skin problems and gives a clean and radiant complexion, and skin without acne and blackheads.

Due to its antiseptic properties, it’s great cleaner for skin problems, and because it contains a high percentage of vitamin C and starch, nourishes the skin and prevents its aging. If you grind and apply as a face mask, it will clean and tighten the skin.

Then cut into thin slices, wrap in a cloth fabric and squeeze the juice. You can also use the juicer.

You should always drink freshly prepared juice from potatoes, and you can mix it with fruit and vegetables of your choice, such as apples and carrots, lemon juice and honey to taste.

STUDIES SHOW THAT SUGAR IS MORE ADDICTIVE THAN COCAINE

43 cocaine-addicted laboratory rats were given the choice of cocaine or sugar water over a 15-day period: 93 percent, or 40 out of 43, chose sugar.

in 2004, the World Health Organization (WHO) released a document called “TRS 916,” acknowledging that less than 10% of your daily calories should come from added sugar. They say “less than” because many scientists believe 0% added sugar is necessary. Our bodies produce enough glucose from starch and carbohydrates received elsewhere.

TheWHO SUGGESTION IS AS follows:

Pictured here is a label for brown sugar, but do you notice anything strange? There is no % Daily Value listed for sugar. Shouldn’t there be?

You may or may not have imagined, but the sugar industry went crazy when the WHO published this study. Tommy Thompson, then Secretary of Health and Human Services, flew to Geneva to tell the WHO that the US Government would withhold $406,000,000 in funding if the report were published. Extortion at the government level.

Now, the US Institute of Medicine issues that up to 25% of your daily calories can come from added sugar. 2.5x more than the WHO recommendation.

For the record:

1 gram of sugar will burn for about 4 calories. As an average daily diet is based on a consumption of 2000 calories, it would factor that you should be consuming 0-50g of added sugar a day according to the WHO study.

The health dangers from excess sugar are fairly well known. Heart disease, chronic pain, obesity, and the list goes on; but the addictiveness is under-addressed. Maybe it’s because those of us that have had sugar in the last three days don’t want to believe we are addicted.

Maybe we enjoy the rush; I, personally, think that drugs of all kinds used strategically can benefit your life. Making it illegal is probably not the way to deal with it, but treating it as an addictive substance will get us further towards health. Like the tobacco giants of the 50s selling their products to children, sugary food commercials and cartoons aimed at children are on their way out. Regulation exists for a reason.

Below is a clip from a brilliant documentary called “Fed Up,” which highlights the dangers of the sugar industry in today’s culture.source

Coconut Oil: A New Cure for Colon Cancer

Colon cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in the United States. It is also one of the most difficult ones to treat – often, patients are unaware of early warning signs of this disease or are not compliant with regular colonoscopies to visualize and diagnose possible cancerous or pre-cancerous lesions. Thus, by the time the disease is diagnosed, it is well-advanced and leaves patients and clinicians with few options for treatment.

However, there are natural ways to help prevent and treat colon cancer. Keeping a healthy weight and eating a diet that is high in fiber and antioxidants as well keeping hydrated are all good ways to reduce the risk. And now a new study has come out about another possible natural cure for this disease: coconut oil.

The New Research

The new research which has so many people talking involved a study where scientists studied the effect of lauric acid from coconut oil (this constitutes about 50% of coconut oil) on colon cancer cells. It found, amazingly, that this acid was able to kill around 93% of these cancerous cells after 48 hours of exposure. It was found that the lauric acids acted on the cancer cells to kill them in two important ways: first, it decreased levels of glutathione in the cells, then increased their oxidative stress, which the cancer cells were more susceptible too after their glutathione levels were lowered. It apparently was an extremely effective strategy.

More research needs to be done on lauric acid, with a view to developing a nature-based cancer treatment, the preliminary results from this study are certainly intriguing, particularly if similar studies are applied to other, common forms of cancer such as cancer of the breast or prostate.

More on the Health Benefits of Coconut Oil

Another, indirect way in which coconut oil likely helps fight cancer is through improving the body’s general health to make it easier for it to fight off disease and mutation. Coconut oil, for instance, is great for heart health, lower LDL while raising HDL cholesterol levels to improve the overall cholesterol ratio. It is also an effective weight loss aid, particularly for the loss of stubborn abdominal fat, and weight loss is a great way to prevent many kinds of cancer, including that of the colon. In short, it is of great worth for a variety of bodily ailments.

So, while coconut oil is not a panacea, it certainly comes close. More studies on the anti-cancer effects of lauric acid should certainly be conducted in order to give patients more information on what natural therapies are available, not only for cancer but for neurological and cardiac conditions as well.
