Wolfberry

D. Gary Young


The Chinese Wolfberry story began 1996 when Professor

Chao visited me at our Riverton office. He was on a special

teaching and information-gathering assignment from the

Natural Science University in Beijing, China. He had heard of

essential oils and was fascinated by their potential.

As we started discussing the medical properties of essential

oils, he told me of another powerful botanical that had been

used for centuries in Inner Mongolia but had only recently

been researched. It was called the Chinese wolfberry (also

known by its Latin name, Lycium barbarum, or colloquial

name, "goji berry".

The people who consumed this

fruit apparently lived free of

common diseases like arthritis,

cancer and diabetes. Moreover,

their life expectancies reached

over 100 years.

Both the wolfberry and ginseng

have been highly regarded for

centuries as the foremost nutritional and therapeutic plants in

China. In fact, the Chinese hold a strong belief that human

life might be extended significantly by using either of these

herbs for an extended period of time.

Unfortunately, ginseng is considered too strong for

continuous use, and large amounts may not be suitable for

people with high blood pressure or heart disease. On the

other hand, the wolfberry is much milder, with no known risk

from continuous use.

In 1988, the Beijing Nutrition Research Institute conducted

detailed chemical analyses and nutritional composition

studies of the dried wolfberry fruit.

What they discovered was stunning.

The Chinese Wolfberry contained over

18 amino acids (that is six times higher in

proportion than bee pollen), 21 trace

minerals, more beta carotene than

carrots, and an astonishing 500 times

more vitamin C by weight than oranges. It

is also packed with vitamin B1, vitamin B6

and vitamin E.

The fruits and pedicels of Chinese

Wolfberry were effective in increasing

white blood cells, protecting the liver and

relieving hypertension. The alcoholic

extract of wolfberry fruits inhibited tumor growth in mice by

58%, and the protein of wolfberry displayed an insulin-like

action that was effective in promoting fat decomposition and

reducing blood sugar.

Another clinical experiment by the Ningxia Institute (Register

No.870306, October 1982 to May 1985) studied the effects of

wolfberry on the immune, physiological and biochemical

indexes of the blood of aged volunteers. The results were

amazing, indicating that the wolfberry caused the blood of

older people to noticeably revert to a younger state.

According to a report of the State Scientific and Technological

Commission of China, the wolfberry contains compounds

known as lycium polysaccharides, which appeared to be

highly effective in promoting immunity. These results were

validated in a number of clinical trials.

In one study on a group of cancer patients, the wolfberry

triggered an increase in both, lymphocyte transformation rate

and white blood cell count (measures of immune function).

In another study involving a group of 50 people with

lower-limit white blood cell counts, the wolfberry increased

phagocytosis and the titre of serum antibodies (another index

of immune function). Unhealthy levels of titre of serum

antibodies have long been associated with Chronic Fatigue

Syndrome (also known as Epstein-Barr). Does this mean that

the Chinese wolfberry could be used as a weapon against

Epstein-Barr? The possibilities are intriguing.

In another study, consumption of wolfberry lead to a

strengthening of immunoglobulin A levels (an index of

immune function). Because the decline of immunoglobulin A

is one of the signs of aging, an increase in these levels

suggests that the wolfberry may enable injured DNA to better

repair itself and ward off tissue degeneration.

As we grow older, the levels of lipid peroxide in our blood

increase, while levels of health-protecting antioxidants, like

superoxide dismutase (SOD), decrease. In a clinical study of

people who consumed doses of Chinese wolfberry, SOD in

the blood increased by a remarkable 48% while hemoglobin

increased by 12%. Even better, lipid peroxide levels dropped

by a whopping 65%.

A test was conducted on the

effects of wolfberry on eyesight.

Twenty-seven people were tested

and showed a dramatic

improvement in both dark adaptation and vitamin A and

carotene content of their serum (measures of eyesight

acuity).

Over the past six years, I had become somewhat lax with my

exercise regimen because of two badly damaged ankles. So

this Christmas, I buckled down and started a fitness program,

combining moderate exercise two to three times a week with

two daily servings of Power Meal alone and with meals.

(Power Meal contains Chinese Wolfberries.)

By the middle of March, while I was studying in Turkey, I

started noticing physical changes: My skin looked brighter

and my energy level was higher. I averaged a fifteen-hour

day between my studies and lab practice.

When I returned home, I discovered that I had dropped 12

pounds, paired off three inches from my lower abdomen, and

gained three inches in my chest.

Then, two weeks ago while I was in Phoenix, I went out for a

one-mile run. I felt limber and energetic and performed the

run with ease. Last week at my home in Utah, located at an

altitude of over 5,000 feet above sea level, I went out for a 2.7

mile run and was not fatigued at all--even in the thinner

high-altitude air.

Two days later, I ran 4.3 miles without feeling tired and

without leg pain. I could have continued on another three or

four miles but decided not to push it. These results take on

even more significance when you consider that, prior to my

try-out in Phoenix, I had not run in over six years.

These types of physiological effects prompted me to probe

deeper into the chemistry of the wolfberry.

What I discovered was startling:

The Chinese wolfberry not only contains super oxide

dismutase, phenylpropanoids, anti-cancer factors and

anti-senility factors, but it also sports a high concentration of

the branched-chain amino acid L-leucine.

Leucine is an essential amino acid that we do not make in our

bodies, so we can only get it from our diet. It is present in

small quantities in both, plant and animal food, and is a

natural component of breast milk.

But leucine is regarded as more than just an essential amino

acid: It also supports immune function, burns fat and builds

muscle.

How?

Because leucine forms the building block of a very unique

compound called HMB (Beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate).

Through its phenylpropanoid activity, the wolfberry helps

convert leucine into HMB.

What makes HMB such a breakthrough in healthmaintenance?

According to noted researcher, Richard
Passwater, Ph.D.,

HMB showed that it lowered total and LDL cholesterol levels

in blood and helped strengthen the immune system while

building muscles and burning body fat. This news is certainly

of interest to body builders and other athletes, but it may also

become of interest to cancer, AIDS and muscular dystrophy

patients.

Food That Can Save Your Heart

24 Foods That Can Save Your Heart
Fresh Herbs
Fresh herbs make many other foods heart-healthy when they replace salt, fat, and cholesterol. These flavor powerhouses, along with nuts, berries — even coffee — form a global approach to heart-wise eating. Read on for 23 more delicious ways to fight heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
Fact: Rosemary, sage, oregano, and thyme contain antioxidants.

Black Beans
Mild, tender black beans are packed with heart-healthy nutrients including folate, antioxidants, magnesium for lowering blood pressure, and fiber — which helps control both cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
Tip: Canned black beans are quick additions to soups and salads. Rinse to remove extra sodium.

Red Wine and Resveratrol
If you drink alcohol, a little red wine may be a heart-healthy choice. Resveratrol and catechins, two antioxidants in red wine, may protect artery walls. Alcohol can also boost HDL, the good cholesterol.
Tip: Don't exceed one drink a day for women; one to two drinks for men – and talk to your doctor first. Alcohol may cause problems for people taking aspirin and other medications. Too much alcohol hurts the heart.

Salmon: Super Food
A top food for heart health, it's rich in the omega-3s EPA and DHA. Omega-3s lower risk of rhythm disorders, which can lead to sudden cardiac death. Salmon also lowers blood triglycerides and reduces inflammation. The American Heart Association recommends two servings of salmon or other oily fish a week.
Tip: Bake in foil with herbs and veggies. Toss extra cooked salmon in fish tacos and salads.

Tuna for Omega-3s
Tuna is a good source of heart-healthy omega-3s; it generally costs less than salmon. Albacore (white tuna) contains more omega-3s than other tuna varieties. Reel in these other sources of omega-3s, too: mackerel, herring, lake trout, sardines, and anchovies.
Tip: Grill tuna steak with dill and lemon; choose tuna packed in water, not oil.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil
This oil, made from the first press of olives, is especially rich in heart-healthy antioxidants called polyphenols, as well as healthy monounsaturated fats. When olive oil replaces saturated fat (like butter), it can help lower cholesterol levels. Polyphenols may protect blood vessels.
Tip: Use for salads, on cooked veggies, with bread. Look for cold-pressed and use within six months.

Walnuts
A small handful of walnuts (1.5 ounces) a day may lower your cholesterol and reduce inflammation in the arteries of the heart. Walnuts are packed with omega-3s, monounsaturated fats, and fiber. The benefits come when walnuts replace bad fats, like those in chips and cookies – and you don't increase your calorie count.
Tip: A handful has nearly 300 calories. Walnut oil has omega–3s, too; use in salad dressings.

Almonds
Slivered almonds go well with vegetables, fish, chicken, even desserts, and just a handful adds a good measure of heart health to your meals. They're chock full of vitamin E, plant sterols, fiber, and heart-healthy fats. Almonds may help lower LDL cholesterol and reduce the risk of diabetes.
Tip: Toast to enhance almonds' creamy, mild flavor.

Edamame
These green soybeans are moving beyond Japanese restaurants, where they're a tasty appetizer. They're packed with soy protein, which can lower blood triglyceride levels. A half cup of edamame also has 9 grams of cholesterol-lowering fiber — equal to four slices of whole-wheat bread.
Tip: Try frozen edamame, boil, and serve warm in the pod.

Tofu
Make soy protein the main attraction more often at dinnertime by cooking with tofu instead of red meat. You gain all the heart-healthy minerals, fiber, and polyunsaturated fats of soy — and you avoid a load of artery-clogging saturated fat.
Tip: Chop firm tofu, marinate, then grill or stir-fry, going easy on the oil. Add tofu to soups for protein with no added fat.

Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are a hearty, healthy substitute for white potatoes for people concerned about diabetes. With a low glycemic index, these spuds won't cause a quick spike in blood sugar. Ample fiber, vitamin A, and lycopene add to their heart-healthy profile.
Tip: Enhance their natural sweetness with cinnamon and lime juice, instead of sugary toppings.

Oranges
This sweet, juicy fruit contains the cholesterol-fighting fiber pectin — as well as potassium, which helps control blood pressure. A small study shows that OJ may improve blood vessel function and modestly lower blood pressure through the antioxidant hesperidin.
Tip: A medium orange averages 62 calories, with 3 grams of fiber.

Swiss Chard
The dark green, leafy vegetable is rich in potassium and magnesium, minerals that help control blood pressure. Fiber, vitamin A, and the antioxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin, add to the heart-healthy profile.
Tip: Serve with grilled meats or as a bed for fish. Saute with olive oil and garlic until wilted, season with herbs and pepper.

Carrots
The latest research on carrots shows these sweet, crunchy veggies may help control blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of developing diabetes. They're also a top cholesterol-fighting food, thanks to ample amounts of soluble fiber — the kind found in oats.
Tip: Sneak shredded carrots into spaghetti sauce and muffin batter.

Barley
Try this nutty, whole grain in place of rice with dinner or simmer barley into soups and stews. The fiber in barley can help lower cholesterol levels and may lower blood glucose levels, too.
Tip: Hulled or "whole grain" barley is the most nutritious. Barley grits are toasted and ground; nice for cereal or as a side dish. Pearl barley is quick, but much of the heart-healthy fiber has been removed.

Oatmeal
Oats in all forms can help your heart by lowering LDL, the bad cholesterol. A warm bowl of oatmeal fills you up for hours, fights snack attacks, and helps keep blood sugar levels stable over time — making it useful for people with diabetes, too.
Tip: Swap oats for one-third of the flour in pancakes, muffins, and baked goods. Use oats instead of bread crumbs in cooking.

Flaxseed
This shiny, honey-colored seed has three elements that are good for your heart: fiber, phytochemicals called lignans, and ALA , an omega-3 fatty acid found in plants. The body converts ALA to the more powerful omega-3s, EPA and DHA.
Tip: Grind flaxseed for the best nutrition. Add it to cereal, baked goods, yogurt, even mustard on a sandwich.

Low-Fat Yogurt
While low-fat dairy is most often touted for bone health, these foods can help control high blood pressure, too. Milk is high in calcium and potassium and yogurt has twice as much of these important minerals. To really boost the calcium and minimize the fat, choose low-fat or non-fat varieties.
Tip: Use milk instead of water in instant oatmeal, hot chocolate, and dried soups.

Foods Fortified With Sterols
Want the heart-healthy power of vegetables in your milk or on toast? Margarine, soy milk, or orange juice can deliver — when they're fortified with cholesterol-fighting sterols and stanols. These plant extracts block cholesterol absorption in the gut and can lower LDL levels by 10% without affecting good cholesterol.
Tip: Consume at least 2 grams of sterols a day.

Coffee
Coffee and tea may help protect your heart by warding off type 2 diabetes. Studies show that people who drink 3-4 cups a day may cut their risk by 25% — and even decaffeinated coffee works. Caution is due, however, for those who already have diabetes or hypertension; caffeine can complicate these conditions.
Tip: Choose black coffee or a non-fat latte to limit fat and calories.

Cayenne Chili Pepper
Shaking hot chili powder on food may help prevent a spike in insulin levels after meals. A small study in Australia showed that simply adding chili to a hamburger meal produced lower insulin levels in overweight volunteers.
Tip: Chili powder is a blend of five spices, while dried chili pepper comes from a single hot pepper. Both are good substitutes for salt in recipes.

Kosher Salt
This may be worth a try for people trying to control high blood pressure. It has half the sodium of table salt, thanks to its large crystals. You'll still need to measure carefully; a teaspoon of Kosher salt has 1,120 milligrams of sodium — not too far below the 1,500-milligram daily limit for people with hypertension.
Tip: Mix with your favorite herbs for a homemade, low-salt spice blend.

Cherries
Cherries are packed with anthocyanins, an antioxidant believed to help protect blood vessels. Cherries in any form provide these heart-healthy nutrients: the larger heart-shaped sweet cherries, the sour cherries used for baking, as well as dried cherries and cherry juice.
Tip: Sprinkle dried cherries into cereal, muffin batter, green salads and wild rice.

Blueberries
The list of healthy nutrients in blueberries is extensive: anthocyanins give them their deep blue color and support heart health. Blueberries also contain ellagic acid, beta-carotene, lutein, vitamin C, folate, magnesium, potassium, and fiber.
Tip: Add fresh or dried blueberries to cereal, pancakes, or yogurt. Puree a batch for a dessert sauce

The main causes of Liver damage

 The main causes of Liver damage are:
========================
1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.

2. Not urinating in the morning.

3 . Too much eating.

4. Skipping breakfast.

5. Consuming too much medication.

6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.

7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil.
As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.

8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.
Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to 'schedule.'

How Coconut Oil Might Combat Tooth Decay

By Dr. Mercola

Coconuts are among the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet and have been a dietary staple for millennia. Western science is now "playing catch-up" to what natives of tropical regions have known for thousands of years. One of the reasons coconut is so special is that it's a natural antimicrobial food.
Coconut, especially its oil, is a powerful destroyer of all kinds of microbes, from viruses to bacteria to protozoa, many of which harm human health.
Researchers at the Athlone Institute of Technology's Bioscience Research Institute in Ireland set out to test coconut oil's biocidal properties against the bacteria responsible for tooth decay.
Dental caries is a commonly overlooked problem affecting 60 to 90 percent of children and the majority of adults in industrialized countries, according to chief researcher Dr. Damien Brady. His research team tested the antibacterial action of coconut oil in its natural state and coconut oil that had been treated with enzymes, in a process similar to digestion.
The oils were tested against strains of Streptococcus bacteria, which are common inhabitants of your mouth.
They found that enzyme-modified coconut oil strongly inhibits the growth of most strains of Streptococcus bacteria, including Streptococcus mutans, an acid-producing bacterium that is a major cause of tooth decay¹. It is thought that the breaking down of the fatty coconut oil by the enzymes turns it into acids, which are toxic to certain bacteria.² Enzyme-modified coconut oil was also harmful to the yeast Candida albicans, which can cause thrush.
Dr. Brady said:

"Incorporating enzyme-modified coconut oil into dental hygiene products would be an attractive alternative to chemical additives, particularly as it works at relatively low concentrations. Also, with increasing antibiotic resistance, it is important that we turn our attention to new ways to combat microbial infection."

The work also contributes to our understanding of antibacterial activity in the human gut, which helps maintain the balanced flora necessary for a strong immune system.

"Our data suggests that products of human digestion show antimicrobial activity. This could have implications for how bacteria colonize the cells lining the digestive tract and for overall gut health," explained Dr. Brady.

The Many Health Benefits of Coconut Oil

Coconut oil offers an impressive array of health benefits. In addition to its antimicrobial properties, coconut oil is beneficial for:

• Promoting heart health
• Supporting proper thyroid function
• Strengthening your immune system
• Providing an excellent "fuel" for your body and supporting a strong metabolism
• Maintaining healthy and youthful looking skin

One of the primary reasons coconut oil's benefits are so broad is that 50 percent of the fat in coconut oil is lauric acid, which is rarely found in nature. In fact, coconut oil contains the most lauric acid of any substance on Earth. Your body converts lauric acid into monolaurin, a monoglyceride that can actually destroy lipid-coated viruses such as HIV and herpes, influenza, measles, gram-negative bacteria, and protozoa such as giardia lamblia.
Another of coconut oil's antimicrobial components is capric acid, present in lesser amounts.
Coconut oil is also comprised of medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs), which are smaller than the long chain fatty acids that are much more common to vegetable and seed oils. MCFAs are easily digested and readily cross cell membranes, and are sent directly to your liver, where they are immediately converted into energy rather than stored as fat. Coconut oil is easy on your digestive system and does not produce an insulin spike in your bloodstream.

A Traditional Diet Might Not Guarantee You Perfect Oral Health

In the 1900s, Dr. Weston A. Price did extensive research on the link between oral health and physical diseases. He discovered that the most successful primitive groups health-wise were those who paid attention to and integrated beneficial ancient knowledge and dietary wisdom into their lives. The difference, Price reasoned, between primitive cultures who were healthy and those who were diseased came not from solely eating a traditional diet (as they all did), but in the accumulated wisdom enjoyed by certain populations, which allowed them to enjoy optimal health.
One of the keys to oral health is eating a traditional diet rich in fresh, unprocessed vegetables, nuts, and grass-fed meats that are in line with your genetic ancestry. However, as beneficial as that diet is to your dental and overall health, it might not be enough to guarantee perfect oral health.
We know, of course, that eating junk food and sugar certainly causes and worsens dental decay in humans, but there must be more to the story. There is evidence of tooth decay in ancient populations, long before there was exposure to refined sugar and white flour, as well as among wild animals today. Even some dolphins, which generally eat no carbohydrates whatsoever — only fish, squid, and crustaceans — have problems with tooth decay. Clearly, simply following a traditional diet is not enough to explain this phenomenon, or else there would be no dental decay in ancient peoples or wildlife.

Plaque-Busting Strategy No. 1: Fermented Vegetables

In the past, I was also challenged with plaque accumulation which resulted in my having to make monthly visits to the dental hygienist. It seemed no amount of brushing, flossing, and even using a dental irrigator diminished this problem. However, in November of 2011, I was introduced to the first of two natural strategies that have significantly improved my plaque problem. The trick? Simply adding healthy amounts of high quality fermented vegetables to my diet.
Fermented vegetables are loaded with friendly flora that not only improve digestion but alter the flora in your mouth as well. Since the addition of these foods into my diet, my plaque has decreased by 50 percent and is much softer. I later further refined my approach by doing oil pulling with coconut oil and learning how to specifically target the primary source of plague, which is the junction of the tooth and gum surface by carefully directing my toothbrush at the appropriate angle.

Plaque-Busting Strategy No. 2: Oil Pulling

The second technique I've been using for the past year is called "oil pulling" with coconut oil, which has reduced my plaque by another 50 percent, allowing me to go two months between visits to the hygienist, instead of one. Oil pulling is a practice dating back thousands of years, having originated with Ayurvedic medicine. When oil pulling is combined with the antimicrobial power of coconut oil, you have one very powerful health tool.
Sesame oil is traditionally recommended, but it has relatively high concentration of omega-6 oils. Therefore, I believe coconut oil is far superior, and, in my mind, it tastes better. But from a mechanical and biophysical perspective, it is likely that both work.
Oil pulling is simple. Basically, it involves rinsing your mouth with coconut oil, much like you would with a mouthwash. The oil is "worked" around your mouth by pushing, pulling, and drawing it through your teeth for a period of 15 minutes. If you are obsessive like me and want even better results you can go for 30-45 minutes. This process allows the oil to "pull out" bacteria, viruses, fungi and other debris. The best time is in the morning before eating breakfast, but it can be done at any time, the important point is to just do it. I seek to do it twice a day if my schedule allows. The used oil is discarded and your mouth rinsed with water. You should not swallow the oil because it's loaded with bacteria, toxins, pus, and mucous.
When done correctly, oil pulling has a significant cleansing, detoxifying and healing affect, not only for your mouth and sinuses but for the rest of your body as well.
Candida and Streptococcus are common residents in your mouth, and it's these germs and their toxic waste products that cause plaque accumulation and tooth decay, in addition to secondary infections and chronic inflammation throughout your body. Oil pulling can help lessen the overall toxic burden on your immune system by preventing the spread of these organisms from your mouth to the rest of your body, by way of your bloodstream.
The potential benefits of oil pulling extend well beyond your mouth. Oil pullers have reported rapid relief from systemic health problems, such as arthritis, diabetes and heart disease. According to Bruce Fife, naturopathic physician and expert in the healing effects of coconut³, the cleansing effect of oil pulling can be understood with the following analogy:

"It acts much like the oil you put in your car engine. The oil picks up dirt and grime. When you drain the oil, it pulls out the dirt and grime with it, leaving the engine relatively clean. Consequently, the engine runs smoother and lasts longer. Likewise, when we expel harmful substances from our bodies our health is improved and we run smoother and last longer."

Proper dental hygiene is important for optimal health in your mouth and in the rest of your body, as discussed by Dr. Bill Osmunson in the interview above. When it comes to preventing cavities, drinking fluoridated water and brushing your teeth with fluoridated toothpaste is not the answer, because fluoride is more toxic than lead. The key is your diet and proper dental care: good old brushing and flossing. By avoiding sugars and processed foods, you prevent the proliferation of the bacteria that cause decay in the first place.
Practicing twice daily brushing and flossing, along with regular cleanings by your biological dentist and hygienist, will ensure that your teeth and gums are as healthy as they can be. You may want to try oil pulling to enhance your current dental hygiene routine.
In addition to consuming foods that are part of the "traditional diet" and avoiding processed foods and refined sugar, make sure you are getting plenty omega-3 fats. The latest research suggests even moderate amounts of omega-3 fats may help ward off gum disease. My favorite source of high quality omega-3 fat is krill oil.
And speaking of sugar, a particular type of honey from New Zealand called Manuka honey has also been shown to be effective in reducing plaque. Researchers found Manuka honey worked as well as chemical mouthwash — and better than the cavity fighting sugar alcohol, xylitol — in reducing levels of plaque. This is most likely due to the honey's antibacterial properties. Clinical trials have shown that Manuka honey can effectively eradicate more than 250 clinical strains of bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant varieties.
I still believe that oil pulling with coconut oil gives you more bang for your buck for your oral health, but just realize you have natural options to harsh and often toxic chemicals.

DURIAN - The King of Fruits; the Queen of benefits

We can give every excuse to consume durians. 

But this one comes from an "ang moh" (Mat Salleh).

Durian is the Healing King of All Fruits 

by Sheryl Walters, citizen journalist

(Natural News)

Durian is a little known fruit from Asia that has an extremely pungent smell and an amazingly sweet taste. The smell of the durian fruit is so bad that many hotels in the areas where durian grows will not allow their guests to have the fruit in their rooms. But those who brave the smell are quickly won over by its beautiful taste and amazing health benefits.  

Unlike most fruits the durian is left to fall from the tree as this is a sign that it is ripe to eat. People in the local villages of South East Asia, where the durian is most common, call it "The King of Fruits," and they will clear the floor under the trees near to harvest time and then camp near them for up to two months just to make sure they get the fruit at its peak. This is a truly exceptional and healing fruit.

  

Health Benefits of Durian. 

Traditionally the durian fruit was seen as a powerful aphrodisiac, while women would eat the ashes from burnt durian skins to help them recover after child birth. But concoctions made from the leaves of the durian tree were also used to help reduce swelling and cure skin disease. More recently nutritionists have claimed that the durian fruit can help lower cholesterol and cleanse the blood as well as cure jaundice and alleviate fevers.

Experts even say that you can rid yourself of yeast infections such as thrush through eating the durian fruit. This is because of the durian's high iron content that helps the white blood cells in our body make specific chemicals that kill off the infection.                                                                                                        

The durian is also packed with amino acids as well as Vitamins B, C and E and many people are even comparing the sweet custard like centre of the durian fruit to the goji berry for its high levels of anti oxidants. These anti oxidants help slow down the destruction of cells from free radicals such as pollution and smoking; in doing so, they decrease the effects of aging on the skin giving you a younger more refreshed look.  

Among the amino acids found inside the durian is tryptophan. Tryptophan is essential for making and maintaining serotonin levels in the body. Serotonin is the hormone in the body that regulates our happiness. People with low serotonin levels tend to have short tempers, are often moody and suffer from depression. This means that not only will eating the durian fruit help keep your body running smoothly but it will also increase your general happiness and wellbeing.

Breast Cancer. WHY WOMEN IN CHINA DO NOT GET BREAST CANCER.

Like to share a write-up by  By Prof. Jane Plant, PhD, CBE. Very interesting and informative. Hope that the article below helps us understand this dreaded illness.


             I had no alternative but to die or to try to find a cure for
             myself. I am a scientist - surely there was a rational
             explanation for this cruel illness that affects one in 12
             women in the UK ?

             I had suffered the loss of one breast, and undergone
             radiotherapy. I was now receiving painful chemotherapy, and
             had been seen by some of the country's most eminent
             specialists. But, deep down, I felt certain I was facing
             death. I had a loving husband, a beautiful home and two young
             children to care for. I desperately wanted to live.

             Fortunately, this desire drove me to  unearth the facts, some
             of which were known only to a handful of scientists at the
             time.

             Anyone who has come into contact with breast cancer will know
             that certain risk factors - such as increasing age, early
             onset of womanhood, late onset of menopause and a family
             history of breast cancer - are completely out of our control.
             But there are many risk factors, which we can control easily.

             These "controllable" risk factors readily translate into
             simple changes that we can all make in our day-to-day lives to
             help prevent or treat breast cancer. My message is that even
             advanced breast cancer can be overcome because I have done it.

             The first clue to understanding what was promoting my breast
             cancer came when my husband Peter, who was also a scientist,
             arrived back from working in China while I was being plugged
             in for a chemotherapy session.

             He had brought with him cards and  letters, as well as some
             amazing herbal suppositories, sent by my friends and science
             colleagues in China .

             The suppositories  were sent to me as a cure for breast
             cancer. Despite the awfulness of the situation, we both had a
             good belly laugh, and I remember saying that this was the
             treatment for breast cancer in China , then it was little
             wonder that Chinese women avoided getting the disease.

             Those words echoed in my mind.    Why didn't Chinese women in
             China get breast cancer?   I had collaborated once with
             Chinese colleagues on a study of links between soil chemistry
             and disease, and I remembered some of the statistics.

             The disease was virtually non-existent throughout the whole
             country. Only one in 10,000 women in China will die from it,
             compared to that terrible figure of one in 12 in Britain and
             the even grimmer average of one in 10 across most Western
             countries.   It is not just a matter of China being a more
             rural country, with less urban pollution. In highly urbanized
             Hong Kong , the rate rises to 34 women in every 10,000 but
             still puts the West to shame.

             The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki  have similar
             rates. And remember, both cities were attacked withnuclear
             weapons, so in addition to the usual pollution-related
             cancers, one would also expect to find some radiation-related
             cases, too.
             The conclusion we can draw from these statistics strikes you
             with some force. If a Western woman were to move to
             industrialized, irradiated Hiroshima , she would slash her
             risk of contracting breast cancer by half. Obviously this is
             absurd. It seemed obvious to me that some lifestyle factor not
             related to pollution, urbanization or the environment is
             seriously increasing the Western woman's chance of contracting
             breast cancer.

             I then discovered that whatever causes the huge differences in
             breast cancer rates between oriental and Western countries, it
             isn't genetic.

             Scientific research showed that when Chinese or Japanese
             people move to the West, within one or two generations their
             rates of breast cancer approach those of their host community.

             The same thing happens when oriental people adopt a completely
             Western lifestyle in Hong Kong . In fact, the slang name for
             breast cancer in China translates as 'Rich Woman's Disease'.
             This is because, in China, only the better off can afford to
             eat what is termed ' Hong Kong food'.

             The Chinese describe all Western food, including everything
             from ice cream and chocolate bars to spaghetti  and feta
             cheese, as "Hong Kong food", because of its availability in
             the former British colony and its scarcity, in the past, in
             mainland China .

             So it made perfect sense to me that whatever  was causing my
             breast cancer  and the shockingly high incidence in this
             country generally, it was almost certainly something to do
             with our better-off, middle-class, Western lifestyle.

             There is an important point for men here, too. I have observed
             in my research that much of the data about prostate cancer
             leads to similar conclusions.

             According to figures from the World Health Organization, the
             number of men contracting prostate cancer in rural China is
             negligible, only 0.5 men in every 100,000. In England,
             Scotland and Wales , however, this figure is 70 times higher.
             Like breast cancer, it is a middle-class disease that
             primarily attacks the wealthier and higher socio-economic
             groups, those that can afford to eat rich foods.

             I remember saying to my husband, "Come on Peter, you have just
             come back  from China . What is it about the Chinese way of
             life that is so different?"

             Why don't they get breast cancer?'
             We decided to utilize our joint scientific backgrounds and
             approach it  logically.

             We examined scientific data that pointed us in the general
             direction of fats in diets.
             Researchers had discovered in the 1980s that only l4% of
             calories in the average Chinese diet were from fat, compared
             to almost 36% in the West.
             But the diet I had been living on for years before I
             contracted breast cancer was very low in fat and high in
             fibre.
             Besides, I knew as a scientist that fat intake in adults has
             not been shown to increase risk for breast cancer in most
             investigations that have followed large groups of women for up
             to a dozen years.
             Then one day something rather special happened. Peter and I
             have worked together so closely over the years that I am not
             sure which one of us first said: "The Chinese don't eat dairy
             produce!" It is hard to explain to a non-scientist the sudden
             mental and emotional'buzz' you get when you know you have had
             an important insight. It's as if you have had a lot of pieces
             of a jigsaw in your mind, and suddenly, in a few seconds, they
             all fall into place and the whole picture is clear.
             Suddenly I recalled how many Chinese people were physically
             unable to  tolerate milk, how the Chinese people I had worked
             with had always said that milk was only for babies, and how
             one of my close friends, who is of Chinese origin, always
             politely turned down the cheese course at dinner parties.

             I knew of no Chinese people who lived a traditional Chinese
             life who ever used cow or other dairy food to feed their
             babies. The tradition was to use a wet nurse but never, ever,
             dairy products.
             Culturally, the Chinese find our Western preoccupation with
             milk and milk products very   strange. I remember entertaining
             a large delegation of Chinese scientists shortly after the
             ending of the Cultural Revolution in the 1980s.

             On advice from the Foreign Office, we had asked the caterer to
             provide a pudding that contained a lot of ice cream. After
             inquiring what the pudding consisted of, all of the Chinese,
             including their interpreter, politely but firmly refused to
             eat it, and they could not be persuaded to change their minds.
             At the time we were all delighted and ate extra portions!

             Milk, I discovered, is one of the most common causes of food
             allergies . Over 70% of the world's population are unable to
             digest the milk sugar, lactose, which has led nutritionists to
             believe that this is the normal condition for adults, not some
             sort of deficiency. Perhaps nature is trying to tell us that
             we are eating the wrong food.

             Before I had breast cancer for the first time, I had eaten a
             lot of dairy produce, such as skimmed milk, low-fat cheese and
             yogurt. I had used it as my main source of protein. I also ate
             cheap but lean minced beef, which I now realized was probably
             often ground-up dairy cow.

             In order to cope with the chemotherapy I received for my fifth
             case of cancer, I had been eating organic yogurts as a way of
             helping my digestive tract to recover and repopulate my gut
             with 'good' bacteria.

             Recently, I discovered that way back in 1989 yogurt had been
             implicated in ovarian cancer. Dr Daniel Cramer of Harvard
             University studied hundreds of women with ovarian cancer, and
             had them record in detail what they normally ate. Wish I'd
             been made aware of his findings when he had first discovered
             them.
             Following Peter's and my insight into the Chinese diet, I
             decided to give up not just yogurt but all dairy produce
             immediately. Cheese, butter, milk and yogurt and anything else
             that contained dairy produce - it went down the sink or in the
             rubbish.
             It is surprising how many products, including commercial
             soups, biscuits and cakes, contain some form of dairy produce.
             Even many proprietary brands of margarine marketed as soya,
             sunflower or olive oil spreads can contain dairy produce
             .
             I therefore became an avid reader of the small print on food
             labels.

             Up to this point, I had been steadfastly measuring the
             progress of my fifth cancerous lump with callipers and
             plotting the results. Despite all the encouraging comments and
             positive feedback from my doctors and nurses, my own precise
             observations told me the bitter truth.

             My first chemotherapy sessions had produced no effect - the
             lump was still the same size.
             Then I eliminated dairy products. Within days, the lump
             started to shrink
             .
             About two weeks after my second chemotherapy session and one
             week after giving up dairy produce, the lump in my neck
             started to itch. Then it began to soften and to reduce  in
             size. The line on the graph, which had shown no change, was
             now pointing downwards as the tumour got smaller and smaller.

             And, very significantly, I noted that instead of declining
             exponentially (a graceful curve) as cancer is meant to do, the
             tumour's decrease in size was plotted on a straight line
             heading off the bottom of the graph, indicating a cure, not
             suppression (or remission) of the tumour.

             One Saturday afternoon after about six weeks of excluding all
             dairy produce from my diet, I practised an hour of meditation
             then felt for what was left of the lump. I couldn't find it.
             Yet I was very experienced at detecting cancerous lumps - I
             had discovered all five cancers on my own. I went downstairs
             and asked my husband to feel my neck. He could not find any
             trace of the lump either.

             On the following Thursday I was due to be seen by my cancer
             specialist at  Charing Cross Hospital in London . He examined
             me thoroughly, especially my neck where the tumour had been.
             He was initially bemused and then delighted as he said, "I
             cannot find it." None of my doctors, it appeared, had expected
             someone with my type and stage of cancer (which had clearly
             spread to the lymph system) to survive, let alone be so hale
             and hearty.

             My specialist was as overjoyed as I was. When I first
             discussed my ideas with him he was understandably sceptical.
             But I understand that he now uses maps showing cancer
             mortality in China in his lectures, and recommends a non-dairy
             diet to his cancer patients.
             I now believe that the link between dairy produce and breast
             cancer is similar to the link between smoking and lung cancer.
             I believe that identifying the link between breast cancer and
             dairy produce, and then developing a diet specifically
             targeted at maintaining the health of my breast and hormone
             system, cured me.

             It was difficult for me, as it may be for you, to accept that
             a substance as 'natural' as milk might have such ominous
             health implications. But I am a living proof that it works
             and, starting from tomorrow, I shall reveal the secrets of my
             revolutionary action plan.

Too much sugar can make you stupid.

 

By Dr. Mercola

It's a fact that excess dietary fructose can harm your body by setting up the conditions for diabetes, obesity, and fatty liver, but what does it do to your brain? Studies have not addressed this question—until now.
A new UCLA study¹ is the first to show how a steady diet high in fructose can damage your memory and learning. The study was published in the Journal of Physiology.
Researchers investigated the effects of high-fructose syrup, similar to high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), a cheap sweetener six times sweeter than cane sugar, which is used in most  soft drinks, processed foods, condiments, and even many baby foods.
The team sought to study the effects of a steady intake of this super-processed, concentrated form of fructose, which is quite dissimilar from the naturally occurring fructose in fruits. They fed rats a fructose solution as drinking water for six weeks, then tested their ability to remember their way out of a maze.The results certainly grabbed the researchers' attention.

Too Much Sugar Makes You Stupid!

The rats fed fructose syrup showed significant impairment in their cognitive abilities—they struggled to remember their way out of the maze. They were slower, and their brains showed a decline in synaptic activity. Their brain cells had trouble signaling each other, disrupting the rats' ability to think clearly and recall the route they'd learned six weeks earlier.
Additionally, the fructose-fed rats showed signs of resistance to insulin, a hormone that controls your blood sugar and synaptic function in your brain.
Because insulin is able to pass through your blood-brain barrier, it can trigger neurological processes that are important for learning and memory. Consuming large amounts of fructose may block insulin's ability to regulate how your brain cells store and use sugar for the energy needed to fuel thoughts and emotions. The average American consumes roughly 47 pounds of cane sugar and 35 pounds of high-fructose corn syrup per year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture².
Researchers concluded that a high fructose diet harms your brain, as well as the rest of your body. But there is even more to this story.
A second group of rats was given omega-3 fatty acids in the form of flaxseed oil and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), in addition to the high fructose diet. After six weeks, this group of rats was able to navigate the maze better and faster than the rats in the non-DHA group.
The researchers concluded that DHA is protective against fructose's harmful effects on the brain. DHA is essential for synaptic function—it helps your brain cells transmit signals to one another, which is the mechanism that makes learning and memory possible. Your body can't produce enough DHA, so it must be supplemented through your diet.

HBO Documentary Series: "The Weight of the Nation"

The HBO Weight of the Nation documentary is a collaboration among the Institute of Medicine (IOM), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Kaiser Permanente, and several other health-related organizations. The entire series can be viewed free of charge from their website.
Sadly however, HBO chose to interview many who did not understand the foundational causes of obesity, and their editors chose to continue many myths that are simply incorrect, like using insulin for type 2 diabetes; a calorie is a calorie and you simply need to burn more to lose weight, for example, both of which are utter nonsense. If you have time, the four hour series is useful to watch and has some powerful illustrations and statics that are true, just be warned it is filled with loads of misleading dietary fallacies.
It is projected that 42 percent of Americans will be obese by 2030, which is expected to cost the nation roughly half a trillion dollars per year in additional health costs.
Clearly, that will affect YOU, whether you are among the 42 percent or not.The obesity problem cannot be solved by waiting for the food industry to be struck by a wave of altruism. Big business always has and always will be driven by healthy profits, not healthy people. America has cultivated a toxic culture that has written real food and exercise right out of the script.
The facts are sobering³:

• Americans today consume an average of 600 more calories per day than they did in 1970
• Seventy-five percent of Americans now drive to work, a 300 percent increase since 1960
• In 1969, 42 percent of kids walked or biked to school, versus less than 20 percent today
• Fewer than five percent of adults meet the minimum guidelines for physical activity, and one in four adults gets no physical activity at all
• Currently, only four percent of elementary schools, eight percent of middle schools, and two percent of high schools provide physical education

Drugs are a TERRIBLE Answer to the Diabetes Epidemic

Skyrocketing obesity rates are accompanied by escalating rates of type 2 diabetes. This makes perfect sense when you realize the two problems share the same primary cause: insulin resistance. As was confirmed in the UCLA fructose study, a major driver of insulin resistance and therefore a major driver of increasing diabetes rates, is excessive fructose consumption. According to the CDC's 2011 National Diabetes Fact Sheet⁴:

• Diabetes affects 25.8 million people, which is 8.3 percent of the total U.S. population
• Among Americans age 65 or older, 26.9 percent have diabetes and 50 percent have pre-diabetes
• Among Americans age 20 or older, 79 million people (35 percent) have pre-diabetes
• Among Americans age 20 or younger, 215,000 have diabetes
• Overall, if you have diabetes, your risk for death is about TWICE that of people of similar age who don't have diabetes

Most conventional physicians are quick to pull out the prescription pad as a first-line defense against type 2 diabetes—but the price you pay for diabetes drugs is a high one. In fact, taking glucose-lowering drugs is typically  far more dangerous than the disease itself and actually has the potential to radically increase your risk of death from heart attacks, and all other, causes.
Avandia (rosiglitazone) is the poster child for the dangers of diabetes drug treatment. A 2007 study in the New England Journal of Medicine⁵ linked Avandia to a 43 percent increased risk of heart attack, and a 64 percent higher risk of cardiovascular death, compared to patients treated with other methods. It took nearly 10 years of the drug being on the market for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to take action and restrict access to this dangerous drug, whereas the European Medicines Agency banned it altogether.But now another diabetes drug has been drawn into the spotlight.

Whistleblower Exposes Deadly Effects of Diabetes Drug Actos

Actos, a type-2 diabetes drug manufactured by Takeda Pharmaceuticals, is now the subject of hundreds of lawsuits. It was pulled from the market by both France and Germany a year ago after being found to cause bladder cancer and other tumors. But now, a whistleblower, Dr. Helen Ge, has come forward with a lawsuit of her own stating that the drug company is benefiting from "tens of billions of dollars in sales" at the expense of the lives of people still taking the drug^6,7,8.
Dr. Ge worked in the Takeda's pharmacovigilance division, where she was in charge of reviewing side effects of Actos as reported by patients and physicians. She then prepared safety reports that were filed with the FDA―reports that Ge says she was ordered to water-down or not report at all, so Actos would look better than it actually was.
Dr. Ge believes Actos is even more dangerous than Avandia.
She believes that, besides bladder cancer and tumors, Actos is also connected to heart attacks and stroke, suicide, schizophrenia, homicidal ideation, and renal failure. Dr. Ge claims Takeda concealed reports from regulators about hundreds of heart failure cases directly related to the drug in an attempt to drive sales. Dr. Ge filed her lawsuit in September 2011. Actos is still being sold in the United States.

Getting Off The Path of Dietary Madness

But what can be done to derail this obesity freight train that seems to be speeding out of control? The obesity epidemic is different from naturally occurring epidemics in that it is completely human-created. The good news is it has the potential of a human-directed reversal, which begins with expanding awareness about the gravity of the problem. If you are one of my long-term readers, you already know I've been committed to expanding this awareness for decades. In one of the featured articles, best-selling author David Sirota lists what he believes are five of the most promising ways to reverse these trends and the science-based rationale for each⁹ :

• Taxing junk food. Multiple studies confirm that this strategy does indeed work—people's food choices are affected by price.
• Stop subsidizing junk food. Stop giving money to corn and soy growers and start paying farmers to produce real food like fruits and vegetables—the foods that will improve the nation's health. There is NO inherent reason junk food should cost less than fresh fruits and vegetables.
• Ban junk food in schools. Nearly half of public and private schools surveyed sold sweet or salty snack foods in vending machines or other places, and in most schools, school lunches are not much better
• Stop glorifying unhealthy eating habits. It's time the media are held accountable for equating America with hot dogs, apple pie, and cheesesteaks, and the message this sends to America's youth
• Start broadening our understanding of obesity. There is no denying the abundance of science disproving conventional wisdom that "a calorie is a calorie"—it's time for the mainstream to wake up and acknowledge the factors responsible for obesity, particularly massive quantities of fructose and refined grain products that Americans are consuming each day.

What Have You Got to Lose?

Solving this problem is going to require significant changes on personal, community, and nationwide levels. The Weight of the Nation website¹⁰ lists a wide variety of action steps you can take on all of these levels. But the best first step is to take an honest look at your own personal lifestyle habits—and start making some changes there.
Whether you need some slight dietary tweaking or a total nutritional overhaul, here are some basic strategies you can implement today to get yourself off the "path of dietary madness":

• Avoid as much sugar as possible, especially fructose. This is especially important if you are overweight or have diabetes or pre-diabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure. Limit your fructose intake to 25 grams per day (refer to this chart to see the fructose content of common whole foods). If you want to use a sweetener occasionally, consider using the herb stevia, or organic cane sugar or organic honey in moderation. Avoid agave syrup, as most commercial products are just highly processed sap consisting almost entirely of fructose.
  
• Consume your sugar with fiber. Fiber helps modulate the impact of sugar by slowing absorption. The perfect sweet food is a piece of fruit, which contains fiber as well as beneficial antioxidants.
• Eat a well balanced diet, tailored to your specific body type. It should consist of ample raw foods, fresh organic produce, grass pastured meat and dairy, raw nuts and seeds, and naturally fermented foods. Avoid processed foods, genetically engineered foods, and foods with added chemicals. For more information, refer to my total nutrition plan.
• Get plenty of high quality omega-3 fats from both plant and animal sources. As the study above showed, omega-3's are crucial to modulating the damaging effects of sugar—and have MANY other benefits. My favorite animal-based omega-3 source is krill oil.
• Optimize your vitamin D level.
• Exercise every day. Exercise improves insulin sensitivity, reduces stress and cortisol levels, suppresses ghrelin (the appetite hormone), speeds up your metabolism, strengthens your bones, and even lifts your mood.
• Rehydrate with fresh, pure water.
• Get plenty of sleep.
• Manage your stress.

How Fructose Turns ON Your "Fat Switch"

If you have ever struggled losing weight and keeping it off, you already know what a challenge that can be. Dr. Richard Johnson, chief of the Division of Renal Diseases and Hypertension at the University of Colorado has published hundreds of articles and two books on this topic: The Sugar Fix, and most recently, The Fat Switch, which presents a groundbreaking approach to preventing and reversing obesity. According to Dr. Johnson, based on his decades of research:

"Those of us who are obese eat more because of a faulty "switch" and exercise less because of a low energy state. If you can learn how to control the specific "switch" located in the powerhouse of each of your cells – the mitochondria – you hold the key to fighting obesity."

There are five basic truths that Dr. Johnson explains in detail in his new book that overturn current concepts:

1. Large portions of food and too little exercise are NOT solely responsible for why you are gaining weight
2. Metabolic Syndrome is A NORMAL CONDITION that animals undergo to store fat
3. Uric acid is increased by specific foods and CAUSALLY CONTRIBUTES to  obesity and insulin resistance
4. Fructose-containing sugars cause obesity not by calories but by turning on the fat switch
5. Effective treatment of obesity requires turning off your fat switch and improving the function of your cells' mitochondria

I highly recommend picking up a copy of this book, which has been described as the "Holy Grail" for those struggling with their weight. Dietary sugar, and fructose in particular, is a significant "tripper of your fat switch," so understanding how sugars of all kinds affect your weight and health is imperative.

Danger of Aluminium Foil

 

Aluminum Accumulates in the Bones and in the Brain

The researchers found dangerously high levels of aluminum in foods after being cooked, reheated, and even cooled on aluminum foil. The cause for alarm is that when aluminum accumulates in the body, it can lead to osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s.

What’s more, Dr. Zubaidy, one of the study authors, comments that:

“The higher the temperature, the more the leaching. Foil is not suitable for cooking and is not suitable for using with vegetables like tomatoes, citrus juice or spices.”²

On the other hand, the researchers also noted that foil can be considered safe to wrap cold foods, since no leaching was observed without heating. They also did not find a difference if the shiny or dull side were in contact with food.

Aluminum Competes With Calcium, Weakening Bones

High aluminum levels in the body alter bone mineralization, matrix formation, as well as parathyroid and bone cell activity.³Ironically, one of the most common signs of excessive aluminum accumulation is hypercalcemia or high calcium levels in the blood.

 

This happens because the presence of aluminum impedes calcium deposition in bone, thus leading to elevated blood calcium levels.³ As a result, PTH secretion, the hormone secreted by the parathyroid hormone, is greatly depressed.³Additionally, chronic aluminum toxicity greatly reduces osteoblast population and inhibits bone mineralization, resulting in osteoporosis.³

Mounting Evidence Links Aluminum to Alzheimer’s

While the study is less adamant about the link between aluminum and Alzheimer’s than it is about the osteoporosis connection, it does point to evidence that aluminum is deposited in brain tissue. The researchers note that previous studies have found an aluminum build-up in autopsies performed on Alzheimer’s sufferers.

Protect Your Bones and Your Brain

In view of this, you really should avoid using aluminum foil or aluminum utensils for cooking. So here are a few simple steps you can take right away:

• Never cook, heat up, or place hot food on aluminum foil. Use foil only to store cold food in the refrigerator, or to wrap cold sandwiches. I use tempered glass pans. They are easily available in just about every supermarket or hardware store.
• Avoid storing tomatoes, citrus fruits, or spices in foil.
• Replace foil with wax paper if you wish to store food while still hot. Or use glass food storage containers. I keep a variety of sizes handy in my kitchen.
• Never use aluminum pots or cooking utensils. Instead, invest in stainless steel pots and pans.

As you can see, it’s easy to avoid aluminum in the kitchen.

Disobey Your Doctor and Reverse Alzheimer’s This Way

If you or someone you care about is suffering from memory loss, dementia or Alzheimer’s, then you know how cruel these diseases can be.

 

The emotional and physical toll they take on the patient―as well as on the entire family―can be devastating.

 

But right now, solutions are available and being used successfully even while most doctors still throw up their hands when it comes to memory loss, dementia and Alzheimer’s, using words like “hopeless” and “irreversible.”
