Bronchial and Immune Support

This information was received by Celest and David from a conversation with Dr. Shamaan Eagle. Shamaan is a naturopath and is the receiver of the "New Light Messages" posted here on our www.awakenedhearts.com website.

Shamaan recommends everyone do a Hot Steam – do this Bi-monthly

Use "Natural Eucalyptus" and "Rosemary Oil." Natural Camphor would be preferable to Rosemary, it comes in "crystals." Put hot water in a bowl, add tinctures and place towel over head and breathe deeply.

Anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant

Thyme Tea and Hysoot Tea (available at Taosherb.com) Mix in equal proportions and add something for flavoring if need be… drink hot

CQ10 - better to use "Ubiquinol" – it is the active ingredient of CQ10, this has been removed from the body and the body needs it..

Beta-carotene – strengthens the immune system

The best product according to her to use is "Aloe Immune" originally created by Dr Siegel. (This is a Pyramid type product, search internet for best price, here is the main website http://www.4rhealthproducts.com/

Aloe Vera has a healing capacity over antibiotics; "Aloe Immune" is a combination of Aloe Vera and Yam. The p-cells produced by the adrenal glands are amplified by the 2 legged support for the system from these two ingredients.

The Four Ingredients for immune,

bronchial and respiratory health:

Aloe

Astragalus Leaf, has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years.

Elderberry (extract) "Sambucus" a vegetable glycerin solution. Mix with warm water and take a ‘shot’ twice a day.

Olive Leaf – strong antiviral properties. Do not take in extract form for it tastes horrible, take in pill form and have a glass of water to wash it down immediately after putting into the mouth.

Also:

Thyme and Rosemary, (available in the spice section at the grocery stores) use leaves to make a Tea, to keep respiratory system strong. Expels mucus so you can breathe. Mix 1 ½ tsp each in a tea ball. In 2 ½ cups of boiling water, boil 2 minutes, simmer 15 minutes using covered lid. USE leaves, not the ground powder. We, Celest and David, have used this many times in the past, it works and it tastes good.

Horehound – works well but you do need more support as well.

"Yerba Santa" – Translated means "The Sacred Herb." For ‘bronchitis.’ Keep this around.. Powerful expellant, antivolosulant. Mix with brandy and you will go to sleep.

"Old Indian Wild Cherry Bark Syrup" available at ‘Planetary Herbals’ – Michael Tiera created this.

Cancer… if you are estrogenic then do not use Liquorish root.

Take Olive Leaf and Oregano together to keep the mucus down.

Red Wine, active ingredient is Resveratrol, for maintaining a healthy heart.. it is available in capsule form.

Antibiotics Could be to Blame for Skyrocketing Mental Illness Rates

NaturalSociety
October 19, 2011

A new report published in the popular journal Nature has revealed that antibiotics arepermanently destroying beneficial bacteria within the gut, a condition scientists link to mental illness. While it has been known for some time that antibiotics contribute to the development of drug-resistant superbugs and certain gut problems, the link between antibiotic use and mental illness through the permanent destruction of beneficial bacteria only further tops the pharmaceutical paradigm. In fact, the pharmaceutical paradigm set in place by drug makers is so vast that it actually offers drug-based ‘solutions’ to the very problems that drugs originally created!

Natural Society special report: More than 1 in 10 Americans on Suicide-Linked Antidepressants

After kids are given excessive amounts of antibiotics that lead to the destruction of their gut health and the subsequent onset of mental illness, they are then given deadly antipsychotics and other psychiatric drugs to ‘treat’ the condition that originated from pharmaceutical drug use. It is a system that, whether purposeful or not, generates large profits for many prescription-happy doctors and drug manufacturers alike. Perhaps the most troubling part of this system is the massive fraud committed by financially-invested corporations to stop the truth about these drugs and other mainstream medical ‘treatments’ from getting to the general public.

The pharmaceutical paradigm

The general public has the right to know that dangerous antipsychotics are not going to ‘cure’ anything, and researchers have found that simply improving gut health and bacteria through probiotic supplementation or consumption will make a profound difference in your mental health and clarity:

"It may be that those changes in gut bacteria not only contribute to the generation of gut symptoms, like diarrhea or pain, but may also contribute to this altered behavior that we see in those patients,"said researcher Stephen Collins.

It seems that many large corporations act as gatekeepers, doctoring study results and attempting to discredit any research that endangers profits. Unfortunately, there will always be greedy individuals willing to go along with the scam. Such is the case with Dr. Scott Reuben, a well-respected anesthesiologist who was the former chief of acute pain of the Baystate Medical Center in Springfield Massachusetts. Dr. Reubenaltered the results of 21 studies to deceive customers into thinking that Vioxx and Celebrex were safe. Of course this is not an isolated incident, simply one that received mainstream attention.

Rejuvenating gut health

While the damage to beneficial bacteria may be permanent, you can still utilize natural strategies to put that good bacteria back into the gut. Through the consumption of probiotics, you can restore beneficial bacteria that has been damaged through use of antibiotics. It is possible to do this through either supplementation or probiotic-rich foods, though you may find consuming such foods to be a challenge. Fermented food items such as sauerkraut, tempeh, miso or kefir are all rich sources of probiotic bacteria.

In addition to restoring beneficial bacteria into the gut through the use of probiotics,eliminating or severely reducing sugar intake will also be instrumental in restoring gut health and eliminating mental illness. Not only will you be improving your digestion and mental performance, you will be drastically slashing your risk of cancer, inflammation, and countless other diseases.

Groups Sue FDA Over Use of Antibiotics in Animal Feed

Anthony Gucciardi

NaturalSociety
May 26, 2011

A conglomerate of environmental and health-advocacy groups are suing the FDA over the use of two antibiotics used in animal feed to treat livestock. The group alleges that the FDA knew years ago that loading up livestock full of penicillin and tetracyclines (the 2 antibiotics in question) was causing bacteria to become resistant to drugs that humans rely upon to fight infections — thus leading to the onset of numerous ‘superbugs’ and mutated viruses. The group’s assertion goes on to say that the FDA did nothing to stop this, despite knowing about it.

The Natural Resources Defense Council, Center for Science in the Public Interest, Food Animal Concerns Trust, Public Citizen, and Union of Concerned Scientists all filed their suit Wednesday with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

The groups outlined the excessive use of antibiotics in livestock nationwide, and the potential dangers that go along with it. "Approximately 80% of all antibiotics used in the United States today are used in livestock," the group explained in the suit. "Most of these drugs are not used to treat disease. Instead, they are given to healthy animals in their feed or water, both to promote faster growth and to prevent infections."

The FDA noted in a documented released last year that there was a proposal to ban both antibiotics in 1977, but did not due to a lack of evidence "to show that drug-resistant bacteria of animal origin were commonly transmitted to humans and caused and caused serious illness."

There are no related stories quite yet.

I read your article with delight and would like to share my remedies. This is a wonderful way to be of service to humanity.

Fever blisters

I used to get quite a few fever blisters until I recalled what the ‘old timers’ did when I was a kid. Wet your lip with saliva (from your tongue) and pack on baking soda. I suggest Red Mill brand because it is aluminum free. In a short time, the blister will be gone. Repeat for those blisters which are there for a length of time, or are a repeated fact of life.

Colds/flu

This may seem like a fairy tale, but from one who has a life record of continual colds through the year to being totally free of cold symptoms for over 30 years, I would say this works. After reading Alice Steadman’s book "Who’s the matter with me?" I tested her suggestion with much success. Whenever I felt a cold or sniffles I immediately placed my attention on myself and what I was doing. I cannot find the place now that said we get colds when our attention is everywhere else but on ourselves and our own life. Not only did this work for me, but I used this method on a gentleman visitor who visited with his own paper bag ready for used kleenex. His red nose told me the rest. In talking to him and having him concentrate on him ‘self’, he no longer used the kleenex and all drainage had stopped.

We want to share something we discovered that works very well for flu symptoms. You can add it to the health section of your website if you wish.

OregaRESP P73 is a highly potent extract of wild oregano and other herbs that is excellent support for any kind of respiratory stress or illness such as flu. We find it most effective taken at the onset of symptoms. In our experience it stops the symptoms almost immediately. We find it is best to take with some food. It is available several places online. We have purchased it from http://www.taoofherbs.com/
We Love You, Dan and Kathleen

A while ago one of our faithful readers sent us a link to www.iherb.com which is a very good, low priced place from which to purchase vitamins and other items. We apologize to him, we have lost his original email. Thank you for sending this link to us so that we could share it with others.

Hi David and Celest,

I know it’s not well known, but for in taking vinegar ones needs to use "organic" vinegar. The reason I mention this is most commercial vinegar is now made with GMO mother. I personally take 2 tsp’s mornings with 8 oz. of water and make my farm cheese with the same vinegar (Bragg’s is what I use).

Have a happy, loving and Tree…mendous day! ) Pat

Hello,

Thank you for those health remedies that you have posted. I am so glad to see it!!!

I used this remedy to rid myself of toxins.

Many people are exposed to the Varicella Virus, Epstien-Bar, and Viruses that cause cold sores. Those viruses sap your energy, live dormant along the nervous system, and cause all kinds of inflammation, blocking energy pathways. To rid my body of those type of toxins, took.

Red Marine Algae 4 500mg capsules 2x a day with 100 mg Co Q10, 2000 IU of Natural Vitamin E, 1000mg Flax Seed Oil, 1000 Mg Lysine, 2mg copper and a vitamin B Supplement…It really boosted my energy levels and I felt better in 2 months than I had felt in the last 2 years.

When the Ascension symptoms really had me tired, I added an adrenal support and began the vitamin B supplements again. That with Sea Salt baths helped tremendously.

I really enjoy your website and will continue to view it. I appreciate the articles, the channelings and I have really come to like Blue Star. I appreciate that he talks to us as adults and does not mince words. My kind of being!

Thank you for the service that you provide.
Blessings and Light!
Alicia

I really enjoy your website. I have a website on which I sell bath and body products. All of the products are scented with Essential Oils/Essential Oil Blends. No Chemical Fragrance. I have a line that is entirely Goat’s Milk with soaps, lotions, and 100% Sea Salt Bath Salts. Coincidently, I am thinking of starting a line of products called "Purple Sun" which would consist of Ascension Support Products.

Note from Celest and David – We have tried two of her wonderful products, the "Goats Milk Lotion" is excellent, smooth, non oily lotion which goes a long way. The "Sea Salt Bath Salts" are also excellent, beautiful scents, not overpowering and the advantages to Sea Salt we have already spoken about. Try them, you will not be disappointed.

Hi

Very good website. Must add though, in your water section, you did not mention about distilled water. Steam distilled water is the purest form of water, though 99% of all things are removed from it including fluoride and chlorine. The muck that is left over in the bottom of the container after the water has been distilled is enough to make you sick, knowing that that has been going inside your body for years. To have your daily dose of minerals just add half a teaspoon of Himalayan crystal salt – this salt has 80plus minerals and enzymes the ones that are encoded in the body. Himalayan pink crystal salt is hand mined from rocks around the Himalayas that have been around for millions of years.

Thanks, Chris (London UK)

WATER STORAGE "SECRETS"

by Dale Ferguson

http://www.liquid-stabilized-oxygen.com

You need to know these "secrets" because… Water storage is the most significant item in any emergency storage plan. Other than the air that we breathe, it is the single most important thing needed to sustain life. The method that you store water should not be taken lightly. Unfortunately, when it comes to storing water properly, it is likely the least understood of all food storage items!

How much water should you store? There are a number of recommended formulas around and the amount is left to your individual discretion and the space you have available. The average person in normal times uses over a hundred gallons of water per day (for all purposes). The most common recommendation for emergency survival situations is at least 2 gallons per person, per day. Military studies show that troops usually average 14.5 gallons per soldier, per day. (Food for thought). Civil defense authorities usually recommended storing a minimum of 2 week’s worth of emergency water. The need to have water for a much longer period could become a reality.

If you store untreated water, it should be for a very limited time and will not be safe to drink without filtering and boiling. If you store chlorinated tap water you should renew it every six months and it too should be filtered and boiled before using. If you store water to which you have added chlorine bleach or iodine, as has been a common practice in the past, you have possibly eliminated the need to boil. But, it is a hazard to your health (because of the added chlorine or iodine) and should not be consumed without filtering. And, the water should still be "dumped" and replaced at least every year. If you use the method outlined here, you can have clean pure water, ready to drink, that can be stored without replacing, for two years or longer. Many have stored water (using the correct steps) for five years or longer!

First off, what water is best to store? Using commercially treated water is quite expensive and out of the range of practicality for most people. Either tap water or well water (that has been tested safe) is fine to use for home storage if it is properly prepared. As to containers, there are several options. Metal containers are not advisable for water storage use and some tend to give water an unpleasant taste. The most popular option is the use of heavy plastic containers, ranging from 5-gallons through the 55-gallon size. Make sure that they are made of a "food grade" plastic, so that neither a "plastic taste" nor harmful chemicals are leached out into the water. It goes without saying that a tight-fitting lid that seals out all outside air is a necessity. Small containers (when cleaned thoroughly) such as originally used for soda pop, should be used only for temporary water storage to be used for bathing and flushing toilets, until a more permanent solution is found. There will always be a portion of the original content that has soaked into the plastic and will later provide "food" for bacteria growth. Also, they are not of sufficient thickness to prevent odors and tastes from penetrating, nor will they stand the rigors of time. Bottles that once contained milk or dairy products should notbe used at all. Even with thorough washing, bacterial contamination is extremely likely. The plastic used in such containers also decomposes too quickly.

Even food-grade plastic containers that have been used once (for any purpose) should never be used for drinking water storage. Whatever was originally in the container has "soaked into" the plastic and (no matter how thoroughly cleaned) will eventually leach out into the water, because water itself is an excellent solvent. An example is the use of 55-gallon drums that once held soft drink syrup. They have been cleaned and are being sold for water storage. When traces of that "syrup" start to leach out into the water (and in time it will) a more excellent food for growing bacteria could hardly be found. If you have used containers, they should be used only for storing water for bathing or for flushing toilets. Make sure that they are marked with a heavy black marker (or such) indicating that they should not be used for drinking or cooking.

Containers should be filled to the top to help prevent algae growth. Water is best stored out of direct sunlight in a reasonably cool part of your house. The temperature should ideally never reach 130 degrees. Needless to say, freezing should be avoided for several reasons, including possible rupture of the container.

Although, at one time I have used 55-gallon drums for water storage, I personally store most of my water in new 5-gallon food-grade plastic containers. While this may be a little more expensive initially than using a smaller number of large containers, the advantages far outweigh the additional cost. Water stored in 5-gallon or 7-gallon containers is easy to prepare, handle, store, and use. They are also easy to transport to another location, should the emergency need arise or if you move. Water stored in 55-gallon containers would be almost impossible for most people to transport to another location in an emergency, or in the event of a move. Also, with many households, the only practical place to store containers that large is in the garage. And the garage, in most cases, is not the ideal location for water storage. Most garages get much too hot in the summer, and there is often the danger of freezing in the winter. It is best that neither happen to stored water. My recommendation is to stick with the 5 to 7-gallon size, if possible, and certainly (for most households) not to use over the 15-gallon size for the bulk of your water storage. You certainly can plan well regarding your available space and permanency. My wife and I store our 5-gallon containers of water in the crawl space under our house. In most modern homes, this space provides room to store many such containers and the temperature usually remains within the desired range year-round.

Stored water must be protected from bacterial contamination. This is imperative. If not done, even the slightest trace of contamination will grow and spread in your water. The old method, advocated for years, was to add a small amount of chlorine bleach or iodine to retard bacteria growth. Don’t! Chlorine is a known carcinogen (cancer-causing agent) and a toxin that should not be taken into the human body in anything over very minute quantities. Chlorine used in municipally treated water is normally found in very small quantities, as far as "parts-per-million" is concerned. Even then, its use is controversial. The "original" volume commercial use of chlorine was to "kill people." After the end of World War I, manufacturers had a tremendous stockpile of chlorine gas for use in the war, and no market for it. So (since it will "kill" almost anything) they promoted its use to kill bacteria in municipally treated drinking water. It has been used for that purpose in the United States since that time. In Europe, and a lot of the rest of the world, they use safer methods, such as ozone.

Again, the chlorine used in municipally treated water is in smaller "parts per million" quantities. When you add the small amounts of chlorine bleach recommended and used by some people for water storage, you are ending up with a very "strong" dose of toxic chlorine, related to parts-per-million. In the case of iodine tablets, liquid, or similar products, the same thing applies. Iodine is very closely related in chemical make-up to chlorine and can be just as toxic to the human body!

The very best thing to use for protecting water from bacterial contamination is Activated Stabilized Oxygen. One of the properties of oxygen is its ability to destroy harmful bacteria. Researchers have found oxygen effective against all known anaerobic infectious disease-causing bacteria! There are a number of products on the market now that claim to be Stabilized Oxygen. They are sold for a variety of health uses, as well as for treating water. Most use the "old out-dated technology" of oxygen being bonded to a salt, usually a salt of chlorite. (Chlorite is a toxin, and should not be confused with chloride, such as from sodium chloride, which is simply table salt). Such products are quite caustic because of a high pH level. The label on these products will usually warn you against making contact with your skin! They do not contain any actual bio-available oxygen until a chemical reaction takes place to release the bonded oxygen. They have to be diluted in water before they can safely come into contact with the human body. Most are activated by contact with the hydrochloric acid found in the stomach. A few use an external acid such as lemon juice to release the oxygen molecules. The theory is that the chemical action of releasing oxygen can also take place when the bonded salt comes into contact with bacteria in stored water.

The "cutting-edge" technology in Stabilized Oxygen contains, by contrast, actual dissolved molecules of oxygen. These have a near-balanced pH (just a little on the alkaline side, usually around 7.4) and are quite safe. Look for a product made with the new technology that has the ideal pH level, uses actual dissolved molecules of oxygen and contains an "ultra-strength" 35% solution of oxygen! Such a solution contains approximately 350,000 parts-per-million of oxygen at the time of manufacture. A lighter strength of 5% to 10% oxygen is very effective and preferable for natural health purposes, with the 10% being very effective for such usages. The 35% ultra-strength, however, should be used for water storage, because of the many variables in such storage.

When you are ready to fill your containers, here are 3 important tips:

There is a way to actually filter your water, reasonably fast, effective and inexpensively. Go to a RV (Recreational Vehicle) supply store and buy a RV Water Filter. Ask for one designed to hook inline with a garden hose that is used to fill the water tank. One example is a "Kleen-Plusâ" by Ametek, but there are several on the market that usually run around $25 in price. These carbon filters should handle any volume of water that you are likely to store and then some. The Kleen-Plusâ (as an example) is rated at 1 gallon per minute at 60 psi, the rate at which it will still effectively filter the water. If water is run through too fast, it is not effectively filtered. This means that it would take around 55 minutes to properly fill and filter a 55-gallon drum… a "workable" time frame and one familiar to RV owners. Such filtering will remove much that is undesirable in your water, including most of the chlorine. I assure you that all municipally treated tap water needs such treatment. Whether it be well water or city tap water, it is always better to filter it as you fill your containers. As a footnote, if you have a local Wal-Mart in your area, they are usually a good source for RV water filters at a reasonable price.

The second tip is that you should not use an ordinary garden hose. A large percentage of such hoses contain a number of harmful chemicals, including lead. If you look at the label on most new garden hoses, you will see a warning that they contain known cancer-causing chemicals! Check with a store carrying RV supplies, and purchase an RV hose that is stated to be manufactured free of harmful chemicals.

The third important tip is something that most companies selling Stabilized Oxygen do not tell you, and most all literature on water storage fails to mention. It has to do with the pH level of your water. This is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity. A pH of 6.8 indicates a neutral solution. A pH below 6.8 indicates acidity. A pH in excess of 6.8 indicates alkalinity. For water to store best, it needs to be on the alkaline side! There is an inexpensive and simple way to find out the pH of the water that you are storing. That is by using Litmus Paper. The pharmacies in some stores carry them. Sometimes, it takes a little searching to find them. They come in blue or red and change color to indicate an acidic or alkaline status. Do not use what is known as "wide-range" pH strips (the type used for swimming pools, hot tubs, etc.) that you match to a color chart. These are confusing and not very accurate. The litmus paper strips that you need are the red ones with a range of 6.8 to 8.1. At the pH level of 6.8 they change from red (which is actually pink) to blue-violet in color. At a pH range of 8.1 they change to blue.

Water from different areas of the country can have a wide range of pH levels. Using the red litmus paper, check the water that you wish to store. If the strip changes in color from pink to blue violet or blue, then your water is on the alkaline side and you are ready for the next step. As a footnote: when using the litmus paper, note the color 15 to 20 seconds after dipping it in the water. Prolonged exposure to the air will tend to darken the paper. If you find your pH level to be too low and the litmus strip remains "pink", there is a very simple and inexpensive way to raise it to the desired level. You can use simple household baking soda. When used properly, small amounts of simple baking soda will not only be completely safe, but also won’t add anything to the taste of the water. The actual amount of soda needed will vary from area to area. With the preparation of my own water storage (using municipal tap water) it required the addition of 8 teaspoons of soda per 5-gallons of stored water. The finished product, with soda added to bring it on the alkaline side of the pH scale and with the Stabilized Oxygen added, tasted very clean and fresh compared to the tap water with which we started! Mix the soda well, a little at a time, in a small container of water and pour it into your stored water. Once this is done, it is necessary to mix it thoroughly in your storage container by shaking, etc. It is an easy matter to put the lids on your 5 to 15-gallon containers and shake them. If you are using 55-gallon containers, this becomes a little more of a challenge. But, they can be filled half way and then "rocked" back and forth for mixing the added soda. Then, they can be filled the rest of the way, completing a reasonable mixing. Check the pH level with a fresh litmus strip and continue the process until the strip changes color from Pink to Blue Violet. When that takes place, you are ready for the next step. Once you establish the amount of soda to add to your first container, the preparation of additional water stored (in the same size containers) will go quite fast.

NOTE: If all of this litmus testing seems to be "too much of a hassle for you," or if you are unable to find the correct litmus strips, a "shortcut" is to go ahead and add around two teaspoons of baking soda per gallon of water stored, mixing well. Common baking soda is very inexpensive, and will just serve to "sweeten" the taste of your water.

The next step is to add 35% Ultra-Strength Formula Activated Stabilized Oxygen. I recommend the following amounts:

One ounce per each 55 gallons of stored drinking water.

With smaller containers, use:
¼ teaspoon (around 25 drops) per gallon of stored drinking water.
1 teaspoon per 5 gallons of stored drinking water.
1 ½ teaspoons per 7 gallons of stored drinking water.
2 ½ teaspoons per 15 gallons of stored drinking water.

Using the above amounts, a 32-ounce quart (which is 192 teaspoons) of 35% ASO would treat the following:

32 of the 55-gallon containers
768 of the 1-gallon containers

192 of the 5-gallon containers
128 of the 7-gallon containers
77 of the 15-gallon containers

Using the above amounts, a 2-ounce bottle (approx 12 teaspoons) of 35% ASO would treat the following:

2 of the 55-gallon containers
48 of the 1-gallon containers
12 of the 5-gallon containers
8 of the 7-gallon containers
4.8 of the 15-gallon containers

Because of oxygen bottling costs, the 32-oz. quart size is the best buy, if you are storing a larger amount of water. For those with smaller storage amounts in mind, 2-ounce oxygen bottles are made available.

Seal your container, shake it well and store it!

NOTES about amounts shown:

With smaller containers, there is a good chance that the water will be used much sooner than with larger containers, particularly the 55-gallon ones. Therefore, it is wise to use (proportionally) more oxygen in the smaller containers, than with the larger containers. The recommended amounts shown reflect that.

Don’t be misled by some companies claiming a recommendation of 1 oz. of their product for treating 55 gallons, when their oxygen strength is much lower than 35%. At the prices most are charging, if they tell a person to use too much, it is less likely that someone would buy their product, because of the expense

In summary, the correct steps in storing water are:

1. Fill the quality containers of your choice, ideally filtering the water as you do so.
2. Determine the pH level of the water by using the red litmus strips.
3. If needed, add small amounts of baking soda until the strips change color.
4. Add 35% Activated Stabilized Oxygen in the recommended amounts.
5. Seal your containers, mix well, and store in the best location available.

Remember, because water will likely be the most important thing that you will ever store, a little time spent in properly storing water will pay big dividends in the years to come!

Note from Celest and David…..WE use this product, it is the best we have encountered and is highly recommended by our off world family. With the lack of oxygen that everyone is encountering we would highly recommend using this orally as well as for your water storage needs. You WILL feel the difference immediately and your body will love you for it. Natural Stabilized Oxygen is also one of the best antiseptics. This can be used topically or taken internally. It is also a strong antibiotic. WE recommend using the 35% formula, take ½ teaspoon twice a day. Increase as needed once your body has become accustomed to having what it needs.

We are going to be dealing with various types of health issues and remedies on this webpage. This is the practical part of ourselves. We decided that now, more so than at any previous time in the Earth Star’s history, people need to find not only inexpensive ways of taking care of health problems, but also preventive measures they can take to forestall upcoming ones. Obviously we believe there are ways of doing so that are the most beneficial to a simple health issue and we know of many easy items people can procure. The remedies we are providing do cover a range of ailments. At this writing, you should be able to still locate any of the ingredients you will need. Obviously if you are allergic to any of these things do NOT use them; find a similar substance to whatever you may be allergic to.

A caution about chewing “roots;” many herbs are available in root form as well as liquid and capsule. NEVER chew the roots! For example: marshmallow root, yucca root and all other roots-to chew them is a no-no. What happens is that the roots can cause irritation to the teeth, gums and tongue. In severe cases they can scrape off the taste-buds on your tongue, so PLEASE do not do this. As you read our suggestions here, bear in mind that we ourselves use many of these remedies. In some cases we may suggest certain websites to you, that is because they are the ones that have proven to be the best from our longtime experiences with them.

CurcuminWe are all looking for natural cures for the normal aches and pains of the body. Pharmaceutical medicines are hard on the body. Curcumin is a natural pain reliever and anti-inflammatory. Below is more information. Please be aware, due to planetary changes the availability of this and other natural remedies may become in short supply so we recommend stocking up when you can.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa,) also known as tumeric is a spice commonly used in curries and other South Asian cooking. Its active ingredient is curcumin. It is a significant ingredient in most commercial curry powders. Turmeric is also used to give a yellow color to some prepared mustards, canned chicken broth, and other foods (often as a much cheaper replacement for saffron). It makes a poor fabric dye as it is not very lightfast.

Turmeric is a member of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae.

In traditional medicine, turmeric is thought to have many healthful properties. It is taken in some Asian countries as a dietary supplement, which allegedly helps with stomach problems and other ailments. It is popular served as a tea in Okinawa, Japan. It is currently being investigated for possible benefits in Alzheimer’s disease, cancer and liver disorders.

Curcumin is the main active ingredient of turmeric, which is used worldwide as a seasoning and is a key ingredient of curry. Numerous medicinal properties have been claimed for it, including that it may be an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory

Curcumin is known for its antitumor, antioxidant, anti-amyloid and anti-inflammatory properties. For the last few decades, extensive work has been done to establish the biological activities and pharmacological actions of curcumin. Its anticancer effects stem from its ability to induce apoptosis in cancer cells without cytotoxic effects on healthy cells.

Turmeric is the key spice in curry. Curcumin has been used in both the Indian (Ayurvedic) and Chinese Medicine systems for thousands of years. Curcumin studies have shown it to possess the following properties: antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet, cholesterol – lowering antibacterial and anti-fungal effects. It contains a mixture of powerful antioxidant phytonutrients known as curcuminoids.

Curcumin shares some of the same effects on the liver as silymarin and cynarin. It has demonstrated similar liver protection activity to silymarin. Curcumin is believed to also be converted to a choleretic compound, perhaps even caffeic acid. Curcumin’s documented choleretic effects support its historical use in treating liver and gallbladder disorders. Like cynara extracts, curcumin has also been shown to lower cholesterol levels.

Curcumin is not soluble in water, and animal tests have found very little of it in the bloodstream after it is eaten. Therefore, it would seem that this chemical could not work as an oral drug. But other researchers have reported much higher absorption — as much as 60 percent or more. And in laboratory studies curcumin is often given to animals in the diet, and various effects are noted.< p>

Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties of turmeric and curcumin are undergoing intense research. Tests in Germany, reported July 2003, found that & quot; All fractions of the turmeric extract preparation exhibited pronounced antioxidant activity….& quot; Turmeric extract tested more potent than garlic, devil’s claw, and salmon oil.

One of the things that sets curcumin apart from most other anti-cancer supplements (I3C being an exception), is that this phenolic can actually block chemicals from getting inside cells. Importantly, curcumin can interfere with pesticides that mimic estrogen. These include DDT and dioxin, two extremely toxic chemicals that contaminate America’s water and food. (Dioxin is so toxic that a few ounces of it could wipe out the entire population of New York City). Curcumin has the unique ability to fit through a cellular doorway known as the aryl hydrocarbon receptor. This is a feat it shares with estrogen and estrogen-mimicking chemicals. Because it can compete for the same doorway, curcumin has the power to block access to the cell and protect against estrogen mimickers.

Turmeric is a well-known spice, used widely in cookery. Its pigment, curcumin, is oil soluble and tends to fade in light, but has good heat stability. It gives a lemon yellow shade in food systems. Its applications include pickles, soups and confectionery.

BENEFITS OF CURCUMIN

Curcumin has long been prized in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine as a natural remedy for a variety of ailments. In modern research laboratories, curcumin’s ability to scavenge free radicals and suppress inflammatory cytokines has impressed scientists who are seeking ways to prevent and treat Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.

Several studies have reported that Curcumin is beneficial in lowering LDL and raising HDL or good cholesterol while reducing the lipid per oxidation

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, the AIDS virus) appears to respond somewhat to Curcumin treatment. Curcumin interferes with the replication cycle of HIV.

Curcumin’s potential apparently stems from its ability to suppress the proliferation of a wide variety of tumor cells and to inhibit harmful molecules and enzymes, as well as its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Some studies have even suggested that curcumin can inhibit cancer metastasis.

Recently, substances called cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors have won praise as powerful miracle aspirins for blocking inflammation; especially inflammation caused by arthritis and gout, and may be of help in inflammatory ailments of the hand and wrist such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Turmeric, like its cousin ginger, contains some natural cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors. Some studies compare it to Ibuprofen.

Animal studies provide evidence that turmeric can protect the liver from a number of damaging substances such as carbon tetrachloride and acetaminophen (popularly known as paracetamol and used commonly for headache and pain, this can cause liver damage if taken in large quantities or in someone who drinks alcohol regularly.) Turmeric accomplishes this, in part, by helping to clear such toxins from the body and by protecting the liver from damage.

In Europe, dyspepsia is commonly attributed to inadequate bile flow from the gallbladder. While this has not been proven, turmeric does appear to stimulate the gallbladder.

On the basis of even weaker evidence, curcumin or turmeric have also been recommended for preventing cataracts, and treating high cholesterol, multiple sclerosis, fungal infections, Alzheimer’s disease, and chronic anterior uveitis (an inflammation of the iris of the eye

Daily requirement

For medicinal purposes, turmeric is frequently taken in a form standardized to curcumin content, at a dose that provides 400 to 600 mg of curcumin 3 times daily.

AlmondsEdgar Cayce recommended for years that everyone should eat “an Almond” after every meal. The Almond will curb the “Sugar Spikes.” Every meal has sugar to one degree or another in it. The Almond will neutralize the sugar rush. We have been doing this for some time and it does work.

OnionsIt has been said that by putting onion (slices about 1/3 of an onion) around your house during times of diseases, such as flu bugs etc. that the onion will absorb the virus from the air and keep your family healthy. Another remedy for people who are already sick, put a thick slice of onion on the bottom of the feet of the one who is ill at bedtime. Hold it in place with a “Clean white cotton sock.” By morning the poison from in the body is said to drain out of the body, into the onion. The onion supposedly turns black. We have not tried this, however we deem it worth mentioning. The onions in the house also help to cleanse the air you breathe by attracting bacterial particles to the onion.
