AUGUST 20, 2020 THE ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM

The Endocannabinoid system (ECS) is well researched In the 1990’s, scientists discovered endocannabinoids, the natural cannabis-like molecules produced by the human body. Scientists began to realize cannabis exerted its effects, in part, by mimicking our endocannabinoids. It appears the main function of the endocannabinoid system is to maintain bodily homeostasis—biological harmony in response to changes in the environment.  But medical cannabis also has the potential to PREVENT illness and disease before they can ever take hold. There is much information of boosting your ECS system with cannabinoids.

So you gain the medical benefits of the hemp plant without getting “ high” with the THC component. There is nothing wrong with THC It has well researched medical benefits . As a sober individual in society I do not use THC. I do use CBD with great results

A deficiency in the ECS can cause and has been linked to

• An over or under-responsive immune system that causes autoimmune and chronic pain conditions.
   

• Slow or inefficient digestive and metabolic processes leading to Crohn’s, IBS, Colitis, and other gut issues.
   

• Potential harm to neurons and receptors that cause premature aging, dementia, Fibromyalgia, and more.
   

• Degeneration or mutation of cell function which may lead to Alzheimer’s Disease and/or cancer.

As a health care consumer you need to research the product. I have used and rely on the CBD products from Canbiola. I am proud to be a medical health advisor to this company . I have used all of their products and feel great.

Until tomorrow…

AUGUST 19, 2020 FALSE CLAIMS

It never ceases to amaze me how individuals treat others . Whether it is envy or jealousy or just lack of knowledge of an individual that causes he/she to have LACK of humbleness, gratefulness or humility.

On this topic I could write a lot. I have chosen to write about how Dr Joseph Mercola , a board certified physician was being targeted by Center for Science in the Public Interest ( CSPI) CSPI states Dr Mercola was “making claims” about certain products to be used against COVID

I have known Dr Mercola for the last two decades. He is forthright, intelligent, caring and a real educator of the American Public. He has an excellent website and educates about vital information to the public at large. He has made no such claims

He had to expose the CSPI and its lies about him. I am glad he did it. He produced a video which is available on line to exactly how he didn’t make the claims as stated. I urge you to support Dr Mercola and his endeavors. We need him.

Kudos to Dr Joseph Mercola and his great work

Until tomorrow…

AUGUST 18, 2020 OLEANDRIN-

Recently my dear friend, Jennifer Esposito sent me a link to a plant that was promoted by Trump in July 2020. I want to thank her for the article as it inspired me to look at oleandrin. It never amazes me at the stupidity of our Commander and Chief. He heard about oleadrin in a meeting and instantly started saying the FDA should approve it for C OVID 19. Let me discuss oleadrin

There is no published data showing that oleadrin has ever been tested in animals or human. There was a non peer review stating oleadrin showed some viral inhibition

Let me tell you about oleadrin. Oleadrin is an extract from an African plant, Nerium oleadrin. It might be a pleasing looking plant, but is considered toxic. The compound oleadrin is similar to a compound that is found in foxglove. The compound which is a conventional medication used in cardiology is Digoxin.

Digoxin is used to slow the heart rate or rhythm. It is also used to increase contractility or inotropic action of the heart

I don’t see how this would be beneficial to a patient with COVID.

AUGUST 17, 2020 WHO WANTS NO WRINKLES

Everyone WANTS no wrinkles. As we age no matter what the skin loses moisture, elasticity and internal cell support. There are many products on the market that supposedly help. There is something you can do as be careful about sun exposure, and the food we eat Food and exercise is a great way to help support the skin. By exercising you circulate proper nutrition to the body and thus to the largest organ—the skin.

There are many plants that have been used for the skin over the centuries. Some of these are Lemon Balm ( Melissa ) , Fennel, and Cayenne. Some individuals believe in ingesting Avocados for preventing wrinkles.

I do believe that the Fennel seeds work. Steep a handful of fennel seeds in boiling water Strain out the seeds and add two teaspoon of plan yogurt and one teaspoon of raw honey. Apply as a mask for thirty minutes

You will be impressed with the results.

Until tomorrow…

AUGUST 14, 2020 METAL DETOXIFICATION

We all have toxic metals in our bodies. We live in a TOXIC environment. These metals are mercury, aluminum, arsenic, lead, cadmium, nickel, and barium. There are ways to identify these metals in our bodies. You health care practitioner can do a provocative metal challenge with a chelator or in certain states — a hair analysis. Heavy metals can lead to brain fog, cognitive functions, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s Disease, bipolar disease, schizophrenia and even confusion. I feel many conventional neurologists do not consider heavy metals . Once the heavy metal is identified, you need to get rid of it.

This can be done by either a form of chelation therapy as DMSA or EDTA. I find an effective way is a Heavy Metals Detox. You can start the day with drinking 15-32 oz of lemon or lime water followed up in 30 minutes by 16-32 oz of celery juice.

A lot of my patient have followed the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie prescribed by Anthony Williams You can fo9llow this is his latest book, Medical Medium CLEANSE TO HEAL

He combines a powerful combination of 2 bananas, 2 cups of wild or frozen berries, 1 cup fresh cilantro, 1 tsp of barley juice powder, 1 tsp of spirulina, 1 tablespoon of Atlantic dulse, 1 orange and optional 1 cup of water. I have tasted it I find it appealing and tasty

Try it , I encourage to read his book.

AUGUST 13, 2020 INFLAMMATORY FOODS

We know that foods high in sugar and saturated fats are linked to inflammation. You can’t hear this enough. You must follow a well balanced anti inflammatory , low glycemic dietary lifestyle So you are wondering what foods are better than others.

One of these a red Bell peppers. Although tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are part of the night shade family, this particular Red Bell Pepper is high in antioxidants. It contains a chemical compound called capsaicin which provides this anti inflammatory effect.

One fruit which is anti inflammatory as well as being good for diabetes are pears. They are high in fiber and it has been shown that a fiber rich diet contributes to a healthy microbiome ( the gut flora) It is all about YOUR MICROBIOME

Consume all types of Berries. Become a berry Expert. There is a book in the Edible Series called Berries which I highly recommend.

AUGUST 12, 2020 INVASIVE PLANTS IN YOUR GARDEN

Since I reside most of my time in Connecticut I have broadened my knowledge of plants. I love growing herbs in the garden but more importantly I grow flowers and fruit.

Of course I plant bee friendly flowers

Antioxidants help most every health condition.

A great antioxidant is Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid. Every human being needs Vitamin C and it is found throughout the plant world. Vitamin C is known for its immune enhancing properties, protection against stress on our body, and its ability to chelate out heavy metals. In your garden , you might have wild dandelions which contain a lot of vitamin C.

I started to plant plants high in Vitamin C as well as invasive

These are:

1. Wormwood

2. . Blackberry

3. Garlic mustard

4. Yarrow

5. Mullein

6. St John’s wort

7. Chickweed

My garden is my peace, serenity and love.

Change your life today - start your own garden

AUGUST 11, 2020 CHILDHOOD DIARRHEA

No one talks about Childhood Diarrhea in the United States. It is the most common of death in children worldwide. It accounts for nearly 5 million deaths per year in developing countries. We do not hear about it in the United States. It is one of the fund raisers that need help to abolish. There are many causes worldwide.

Most of the time, the pediatrician recommends a pharmacy product called Pedialyte. This of course is not always available in poorer countries. Every parents wants to help his/her child There are other remedies, both herbal and vitamins that can be used.

Un 1994 the Journal pf Pediatrics published a trial on the use of Homeopathy in childhood diarrhea. I think it is worth repeating some of those homeopathic remedies that were studied and used in the clinical trial. Some of these remedies are

1. Arsenicum album

2. German Chamomille

3. Elemental Sulphur

4. Mayapple

Not every pediatrician will know about Clinical Homeopathy. You need to do your research

Until tomorrow…
