NOVEMBER 12, 2019 MILK THISTLE

Milk thistle is one of the best-known herbal remedies, discovered about 2,000 years ago. It is one of those rare herbs that can cure almost everything. It got its name from the milky-white substance that oozes from its leaves when cut. According to mythology, the milk-white substance was the Virgin Mary’s milk. This is why the leaves were said to have healing properties.

When you think of thistle you think of the healing properties it has for the liver. For people with scarred or damaged livers, milk thistle is a miracle worker. It heals damaged liver cells and protects existing liver cells from damage I use it for individuals with history of hepatitis A, B or C. I use it when Epstein Barr is acutely present or old, but has reactivated. Milk thistle detoxifies the liver by removing harmful toxins. It processes oxidative substances, which are harmful to the liver, which helps the liver stay strong by reducing the burden on it. I have seen that the regular use of the supplement may extend life expectancy especially among people with cirrhosis of the liver.

It is also good to reduce blood sugar levels. I usually add it to a individual’s regimen that has a cancer and it acts a for cancer support

NOVEMBER 11, 2019 MAGNESIUM

Magnesium is very important. It is an essential transmembrane and intracellular modulator of the electrical activity of the heart—the cardiac muscle. After potassium it is the second most important cation in the human body after magnesium. It can get too technical and into too much biochemistry for the lay person, but I need to tell you about magnesium and its use in preventing heart problems as arrhythmias , also called palpitations

The first use of magnesium use for life threatening arrhythmias was in 1935. Since then very little has been researched. There are facts and studies that digoxin ( made from the Foxglove plant) toxic rhythms respond well to magnesium administration. Magnesium administration can also terminate post myocardial infarction ( heart attack) ventricular arrhythmias . It also can terminate arrhythmias associated with coronary heart disease.

Magnesium IV is the drug of choice for a deadly arrhythmia called Torsade de Pointes VT . Oral magnesium n the appropriate dose and the proper type can be used for other illnesses as constipation, insomnia, anxiety and much more.

NOVEMBER 8-10, 2019 URINARY INCONTINENCE

Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine. It means a person urinates when they do not want to. Control over the urinary sphincter is either lost or weakened. Bladder control symptoms are prevalent in over 46 million Americans a

Urinary incontinence is a real issue for some individuals. You sneeze or cough … and a little urine dribbles out. It is embarrassing This does not have to be There are natural remedies that do not include medications and surgery I have used the herb Crateva for a long time with good results. I recently found another herb that does help- It is Horsetail.

NOVEMBER 8, 2019 RESTORE YOUR HEARING

When I think of hearing loss, I think of causes as heavy metals and viruses. It is the aging process. I think of the herb Mullein for ear problems One herb that I do not think of is Gingko biloba This herb works deep inside the cochlea at the cellular level. It fortifies your immune system

Gingko flushes out toxins of the body and improves blood flow. There have been auditory studies that have proven the above results. Dr Norbert Holstein performed 19 different clinical trials over more than a 10 year period. Gingko is 82% more effective as a vasodilator

Even five years after the studies these individuals on Gingko had better hearing.

NOVEMBER 6 , 2019 RESISTANT FLU

One of the best herbs for that nagging resistant flu is Elderberry. The extract shows only a mild anti viral effect at the beginning of the flu yet it s major effect is post infection. This is where I think it is very useful

I include elderberry in our Sickly Tea available at Botanical Bounty 646 723 1823

Elderberry ha san immune- stimulating effect very similar to ozone therapy . It increases the production o the body’s anti viral cytokines- IL6, IL8 and TNF These cytokines not only enhance response but also directly the virus.

Elderberry is amazing with all its effects Get your ‘Sickly ‘ tea today with elderberry

NOVEMBER 5, 2019 POTASSIUM

While the mineral used to be abundant in the human diet, today most Americans barely meet half of the daily requirements tor potassium , yet consume approximately double the amount of sodium, As a physician who reads a lot and tries to educate my patients, I was surprised to learn this.

Previous research has revealed that a high sodium/potassium ratio raises cardiovascular disease risk, while other studies have found that increasing potassium consumption may reduce the risk of hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases. This was remarkable news and reading the research was refreshing.

A high potassium may not be as bad as we once thought . Research indicates that a diet high in potassium may help keep blood pressure levels within the healthy range and can help cut systolic blood pressure by more than 10 points in individuals with diagnosed hypertension

Should be change our consumption of fruits and vegetables. The standard diet of the average American contained 3.5 daily servings of fruits and vegetables on average, providing 1,700 mg of potassium daily. In comparison, a fruit/vegetable-rich diet that included 8.5 servings of fruits and vegetables instead provided up to 4,100 mg of potassium daily,

More studies need to be done concerning potassium

NOVEMBER 4, 2019 CHERRIES

I am missing cherries . I love cherries. There are many medical health benefits to eating cherries. Cherries are small stone fruits that come in a variety of colors and flavors. There are two major categories — tart and sweet cherries, or Prunus cerasus L. and Prunus avium L., respectively.

There are many reasons to eat cherries. Here are some reasons

1. Cherries are a good source of vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and other nutrients that your body needs to function optimally.

2. All cherries are high in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, which may reduce chronic disease risk and promote overall health.

3. Consuming cherries, especially tart cherry products like juice and powder, may improve athletic performance and reduce exercise-induced muscle damage and soreness.

4. Cherries can lower cholesterol

5. Cherries promote a better sleep

6. Over eight million adults in the U.S. suffer from gout. This inflammatory arthritis is triggered when a waste product called uric acid crystallizes within the joints, causing excruciating pain and swelling. In one study, gout patients who consumed cherries for just two days (both the fresh fruit, as well as cherry extract and juice) showed a 35% lower risk of gout attacks compared to those who did not eat cherries.

NOVEMBER 1-3, 2019 FOODS TO INCREASE SEROTONIN

Did you know that the ‘happy hormone’ serotonin is made in the gut and travels to the brain by pathways connecting the brain to the gut. The connection between ‘ the gut’ and the neurotransmitters has bene studied extensively in the last five years.

Healing the ‘ gut’ can improve your mood. Also the ingestion of food that boost serotonin are numerous. Serotonin plays a crucial role in regulating mood and also in promoting feelings of wellbeing and positivity.

Although some sources of boosting serotonin involve animal protein I rather use plant based tryptophan sources to boost serotonin. Butternut squash and sea vegetables can be used . Veggies like kelp, seaweed, and spirulina are all fantastic sources of tryptophan, that ever-essential amino acid. These veggies contain about 3 percent of daily tryptophan value There is a tree nut that has been discussed many times It is the Walnut. Walnuts are an incredible source of polyunsaturated fats, omega-6 fatty acids, and can reduce bad cholesterol. Walnuts also improve metabolism and can help control diabetes. They are quite high in tryptophan at .10 grams per ounce.

Get happy and consume at one of these foods.

Until tomorrow
