Reversing the Damage from Diabetes Related Linked Pages: Arthritis BPH Stroke Age Related Skin Issues Back to Age Related Health Issues Background A brief physiological explanation IMAGE TERMINOLOGY : Hyperglycemia - High blood sugar,Glucagon - A peptide hormone, produced by the pancreas, HGP - Hepatic Glucose Production (summation of glucose production), Lipolysis - is the metabolic pathway through which lipid triglycerides are hydrolyzed into a glycerol and free fatty acids. It is used to mobilize stored energy during fasting or exercise, Incretin Effect - describes the phenomenon whereby oral glucose elicits higher insulin secretory responses than does intravenous glucose, Background Type 2 diabetes, More than 37 million Americans have diabetes (about 1 in 10), and approximately 90-95% of them have type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes most often develops in people over age 45, but more and more children, teens, and young adults are also developing it. A person who receives the diabetic "tag", has a 300% greater risk of cardiovascular disease compared to a person without diabetes. Diabetes is the number 1 reason for foot and toe amputations in the western world.On average, diabetics live 6 years less than people without diabetes. Diabetes is also one of the main reasons that bring people to the need for dialysis due to kidney failure. "In 2005 , studies revealed a correlation between insulin levels and brain cell deterioration so convincing and provocative that health practitioners began to wonder whether Alzheimer’s disease might simply be type 3 diabetes.[REF1 ]. We already know that diabetics are at least twice as likely to experience dementia.[REF2 ] It turns out that the cells of your brain can become insulin-resistant just like other cells in the body. And since the brain is a massive energy sink, capable of only a few minutes of glucose deprivation before it becomes alarmed, it is especially sensitive to the problems associated with insulin resistance." Read more about cognitive decline and insulin resistance. High blo od sugar (hyperglycaemia) is where the level of sugar in your blood is too high. It mainly affects people with diabetes and can be serious if not treated. People with diabetes can also have blood sugar that's too low. This is called low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia). A Brief Physiological Explanation Insulin is the hormone responsible (among other things) for introducing sugar (glucose) from the bloodstream into the cells."Homeostatic regulation (any self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions [REF ] ) of glucose is primarily governed by the action of insulin in adipose ( a connective fat tissue that extends throughout your body), muscle, and liver tissue, which responds by activating signaling pathways involved in the metabolism of glucose and lipids, energy storage, and cell growth". Type 1 Diabetes More About Milk Risks Preventing Type 1 Diabetes - Conclusion Milk Substitutes For Vegans' Children Type 1 Diabetes "Type 1 diabetes , once known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition. In this condition, the pancreas makes little or no insulin" .It all starts with cow's milk! A1 beta-casein. Milk from breeds of cows that originated in northern Europe is generally high in A1 beta-casein . A1 β casein is enzymatically broken down in the intestine to produce Beta-Casomorphin-7. This study brings numerous references to studies that corroborates the role of β-casomorphin-7 in some diseases such as type 1 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, autism, schizophrenia, sudden infant death syndrome, apnea, constipation. For example, β-casomorphin-7 destroys pancreatic β cells, triggering activity effects of T and B cells of the autoimmune system, leading to the emergence of type 1 diabetes. More About Milk RISKS Casomorphins and Gliadorphins Have Diverse Systemic Effects Spanning Gut, Brain and Internal Organs. " In the last decade (published Dec. 2022), the number of papers dealing with this problem has substantially increased. The newest clinical studies on humans showed a negative effect of variant A1 (β-casein A1 variant) on serum glutathione level, digestive well-being, cognitive performance score in children, and mood score in women. Preventing Type 1 Diabetes - Conclusion Type 1 diabetes could be almost completely eliminated from new borns, toddlers, children and young adults, as long as women avoid A1 milk intake during their pregnancy and breast feeding period, followed by avoiding A1 milk for New born, toddlers and children throughout their childhood period. A good substitute could be an casein A2 cow milk, goat milk (or cheese). Type 2 Diabetes Diabetes Type 2 Medications Milk Substitutes For Vegans' Children It is recommended to use an organic, FRESH fruit juice (e.g. orange juice) or coconut milk (for fat) enriched with organic citrus fruit rind powder for its high content of minerals and most important magnesium and calcium. There are those who would use enriched calcium citrate or malate orange juice (for calcium). For those who want to adopt this practice, we recommend to watch this Dr. Berg's video before proceeding with it. Avoid SOY MILK (this short video will convince you why ). Type 2 Diabetes Type 2 diabetes is a disease in which the body cells do not respond to insulin and do not allow glucose carried in the blood to enter them. The sugar remains in the blood and therefore its level keeps rising. " Type-2 diabetes is likely to have its roots in an autoimmune reaction deep within the body, according to researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the University of Toronto. Resistance to insulin is a pathophysiological state related to the decreased response of peripheral tissues to the insulin action, hyperinsulinemia and raised blood glucose levels caused by increased hepatic glucose outflow. "The sphingolipid ceramide is the main culprit that combines a plethora of nutrients (e.g., saturated fatty acids) and inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNFα) to the progression of insulin resistance". " CD (Celiac Disease) cases ate significantly more gluten in the second year of life than controls, and gluten intake in the second year of life was strongly correlated with serum cytokines (INFγ, IL2, IL4, IL12p70, IL17) at 36 months only in CD cases. "The prevalence of obesity and related metabolic diseases has increased dramatically worldwide. As obesity progresses, various lipid species accumulate in ectopic tissues. Amongst them, ceramides—a deleterious sphingolipid species—accumulate and cause lipotoxicity and metabolic disturbances. Dysregulated ceramide metabolism appears to be a key feature in the pathogenesis of obesity-related metabolic diseases". "Wheat gluten and related proteins can trigger an autoimmune enteropathy, known as coeliac disease, in people with genetic susceptibility. However, some individuals experience a range of symptoms in response to wheat ingestion, without the characteristic serological or histological evidence of coeliac disease". Conclusion of the above citations: Type 2 Diabetes is strongly correlated with intakes of GLUTEN and CARBOHYDRATES components, especially refined grains, starch and cereal fiber Diabetes Type 2 Medications Without getting into a comprehensive review, the most common medication used by type 2 diabetics patients is Metformin Hydrochloride. Many websites describe its side effects but it is hard to find one that would mention that "Metformin decreases gluconeogenesis (glucose production) in the liver. Metformin inhibits basal secretion from the pituitary gland of growth hormone". This is a significant issue! the pituitary gland and its Hypothalamic axises have a most important role in our body's metabolism and gut microbiota. Cinnamon oil reduces insulin resistance Cinnamon oil reduces insulin resistance This scientific study brings the results of numerous scientific articles that showed the effect of cinnamon oil in reducing insulin resistance. Additionally, this study that included in vitro, in vivo and in silico testing concludes : "Cinnamon bark essential oil reduced fasting blood glucose and fasting insulin in the general study population by more than 6 units each over the course of the 12-week study—this would represent a clinically beneficial change in a person with metabolic imbalance." "In the prediabetic subgroup, the benefits are possibly more dramatic (although still not reaching statistical significance, likely due to small sample size). Both the essential oil blend and the cinnamon bark essential oil caused a reduction in fasting blood glucose. In the case of the cinnamon bark essential oil, the group mean was reduced by more than 12 mg/dL. Clinically, the mean fasting blood sugar in the prediabetic participants taking the cinnamon bark essential oil was no longer in the prediabetic range following treatment. Bottom line: The improvements reported above are the result of a daily ingestion of 6 grams of cinnamon powder or 250 mg of cinnamon essential oil, using the "conversion" formula to oil content [Page 22 ]: " 6 grams of Powder with oil content of up to 4% in cinnamon bark, translates to approximately 250 mg cinnamon essential oil". A drop of oil is about 50 mg, so a proper daily dosage should be 3-5 drops of oil diluted in 1/2 table spoon of coconut oil . Read on this page about how to select a good quality cinnamon oil. Preventing Type 2 Diabetes - Conclusion Preventing Type 2 Diabetes - Conclusion There are several theories, but we hope it is clear from the materials provided above that diabetes type 2 is caused by certain lifestyle habits and by improper nutrition. It is a disease that is 100% preventable. A person who changes his life habits and his diet, with 100% certainty will not be diabetic, even if both his parents and his entire extended family are diabetic. Can Diabetes Type 2 Be Cured? According to Western medicine, this is an incurable disease . Western medicine only tries to balance the sugar levels with drugs. But it is not about healing and in most cases the drugs used fail to balance the sugar levels to the levels of a healthy person. Why does diabetes and pre-diabetes increase the risk of heart disease and stroke by hundreds of percent? "Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are powerful and independent risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD), stroke, and peripheral arterial disease. Atherosclerosis accounts for virtually 80% of all deaths among diabetic patients. Prolonged exposure to hyperglycemia is now recognized a major factor in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in diabetes. This is why diabetes, in which the blood sugar level is higher than normal, accelerates the hardening of the arteries by dozens of times and increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes". "In conclusion , this study showed that the serum ox-LDL (Oxidized low-density lipoprotein - LDL cholesterol) level increases with the length of diabetes, even though the patients' LDL-cholesterol level is maintained at a desirable level". Can Type 2 Diabetes Be Cured NATURALLY ? The answer is an unequivocal yes ! It is possible to make the body's cells sensitive to insulin again.When the body's cells respond to insulin again, the sugar will enter the cells and its blood level will drop. Drastic cut of carbohydrates and gluten intake will definitely bring a drastic change for both diabetes types. Just read this testimonial . Yes, you can always seek the help of nutrition specialists, to help you with making the change, but rest assured that the basic requirements to drastically cut foods containing carbohydrate and gluten will always be part of their proposed diet. Changing lifestyle habits and adapt a diet that fits age, general health condition, and possibly other constraints, such as personal preferences are the main tools that lead to the cure of diabetes. Plants and nutritional supplements can help and sometimes even dramatically, but without changing dietary and movement habits there will be no real healing over time.There is no single diet that cures diabetes. There are a large number of options, and many menus that will bring the diabetic patient to the goal - balancing sugar levels like a healthy person and restoring insulin sensitivity. Reversing The Damage From Diabetes Long-term Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) affects the normal functioning of heart, kidneys, nerves, arteries, bones, and joints. The T2D gradually alters the intrinsic material properties, and structural integrity of the tissues and prolonged hyperglycemia causes chronic damages to these tissues quality. Tissue recovery is a prolonged process that depends on the structure of the specific tissue. Still our body's tissues do regenerate and replace themselves over time. Some of the tissues regenerate in 3 - 4 months (Dr. Berg video, min 5:11 ). Other tissues like nerve tissues, take years to regenerate. To help the tissue regeneration process, Dr. Berg recommends using two supplements: Benfotiamine (min 5:52 ) - 4 capsules a day, Note: studies that tested the effectiveness of this product produced conflicting results! [REF ] Alpha lipoic acid (min 6:19 ) - 600 milligrams three times a day. Note: Alpha lipoic acid is recommended because it is both fat and water soluble. That means it can work throughout the body. Oregano oil could be a very good substitute for those who prefer herbal supplements. Can Diabetes Type 2 Be Cured? Can Diabetes Be Cured Naturally? Reversing The Damage From Diabetes

On this page we review recommended practices to avoid cancer and the process and practices to combat cancer if detected. Cancer Root Causes Understanding cancer root causes, is the beginning of adopting the practices to avoid and combat this condition. As Dr. Coldwell describes in his book "The Only Answer to Cancer", extremely traumatic event/s, are usually the triggers. Loss of energy is the harbinger, associated with radio-frequency radiation , poor diet, toxins accumulation, and physical neglect that are all contributing factors. What is Cancer This comprehensive review concludes: "Cancer may be induced by many environmental and physiological conditions. Infections with viruses, bacteria and parasites have been recognized for years to be associated with human carcinogenicity". Simply said, cancer is the manifestation of parasites activity. Cancer Prevention On this page of our web site we present the three pillars for good health and prevention and cancer prevention is no exception. One additional preventive action is the avoidance of cancer triggers as discussed above, most notably the submission to traumatic events. Inflammation: "Inflammation is often associated with the development and progression of cancer. Therefore, the targeting of inflammation represents an attractive strategy both for cancer prevention and for cancer therapy". The main mechanisms Linking Chronic Inflammation to Cancer are: Cellular Transformation and Proliferation: Chronic inflammation can lead to cellular transformation and proliferation, essential steps in tumorigenesis. Persistent inflammatory responses can cause DNA damage and mutations, promoting the transformation of normal cells into cancerous ones. Tumor Microenvironment: Inflammatory cells within the tumor microenvironment produce cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors that support tumor growth and survival. These pro-inflammatory mediators can stimulate oncogenic signaling pathways and enhance immune evasion by cancer cells On this page we discuss in detail strategies to combat chronic inflammation Cancer Diagnostic There are "7 common cancer symptoms " that you should not ignore! If you noticed one of those symptoms that persists, you better take action. "Going to the doctor" to corroborate your suspicion is a good idea, but be aware of the limitations and problems associated with the present diagnostic techniques as detailed below. We strongly recommend to avoid the practices of Biopsy, Fine Needle Cell Extraction or Imaging techniques! Here is why: Biopsy or Fine Needle Cell Extraction Risks: You don't have to "test" the tumor by biopsy. Tumors are the body's way of protecting us from allowing the cancer cells to traverse the body and mutate healthy cells. Once a tumor is punctured for "testing", the cells travel and cause more issues: “Considering the fact that, every tumor cell, is bathed in interstitial fluid, which drains into the lymphatic system and has an individualized arterial blood supply and venous drainage like any other normal cell in our body, inserting a needle or a knife into a tumor, there is a jeopardy of dislodging a loose tumor cell into either the circulation or into the tissue fluid. Tumor cells are easier to dislodge due to lower cell-to-cell adhesion. This theory with the possibility of seeding of tumor cells is supported by several case studies that have shown that after diagnostic biopsy of a tumor, many patients developed cancer at multiple sites and showed the presence of circulating cancer cells in the blood stream on examination”.[Read more ] Imaging Irradiation Risks : All of the most common imaging practices be it X-ray, CT scan, Mammogram, or! MRI make use of high intensity radiation which is a health risk in itself. Without getting into the risks associated with each of these methods, we chose to review the risks associated with MRI which is considered by may as a low risk imaging technique. MRI imaging is a common practice for some types of cancers like brain tumours, primary bone tumours, soft tissue sarcomas, tumours affecting the spinal cord, and tumours in the pelvic organs (prostate, bladder, uterus and ovaries). MRI imaging is associated with pulsed RF radiation with peak power in the range of 10-30 kW . For comparison, peak RF power of mobile phones is in the range of 0.1 to 2 watts . Or in other words, the MRI RF imaging intensity is about 30,000 times stronger than the intensity of the mobile phone. Not only that this imaging radiation is so powerful, it is very focused. Yes it is delivered in very short pulses. Could anybody's tissue sustain this intense radiation? [Read more about cancer risks of RF radiation from wireless devices] Cancer Diagnostic Alternatives: Depending on the type of cancer you have and how much it has grown, The following are some of the most common cancer symptoms : •Blood in stool •Anal itching •Distended abdomen •Fatigue •Sinus issues •Cravings for milk products •Mood issues •Rashes •Constant hunger. Your doctor may be able to find a mass in your breast, belly, or prostate by examining you. Circulating Tumor Cell Detection Technologies (CTC) - Depending on the CTC method used, this technology looks promising and relatively safe and non invasive. Still, it is relatively new, with more criteria to be developed, for reliable conclusions. Be careful about the use of biomarkers taken from blood and tissues! There are "numerous methodologically flawed biomarker studies , that examine cancer patients' samples against those of healthy, inflammation-free persons and present many inflammation-related biomarker alterations in cancer patients as cancer-specific". In other words, it is easy to confuse an inflammation related biomarker level with cancer related one. What is Cancer Cancer Prevention Cancer Diagnostic Biopsy or Fine Needle Cell Extraction Risks Imaging Irradiation Risks 1 Cancer Diagnostic Alternatives Cancer treatment Practices To start with, as Dr. Coldwell prescribes, proper personal identification of the trauma and coping with it is the corner stone. Not surprising, the most common cancer symptoms listed above are the same as the most common symptoms of parasites! Fasting - A Winning Formula For those who can sustain a prolonged fasting this man who had a prognosis of living for a few months is still living after 6 years. He discovered the benefits of prolonged fasting and even completed a 40-day fast. Numerous studies have found that fasting and intermittent fasting interfere with cancer growth by lowering glucose level, Insulin Growth Factor - "prolonged cycles of fasting – for 2-4 days at a time trigger stem cell regeneration of new immune cells and clearing out of old, damaged cells". "The ketogenic diet (KD) has recently (article from 2021) emerged as a metabolic therapy in cancer treatment, targeting cancer cell metabolism rather than a conventional dietary approach. The ketogenic diet (KD), a high-fat and very-low-carbohydrate with adequate amounts of protein, has shown antitumor effects by reducing energy supplies to cells". This study (and many others) uncover the tight association between gut microbiota and tumorigenesis (the gain of malignant properties in normal cells) and concludes: "...novel strategies integrating probiotics, such as LGG (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG), with conventional anti-cancer therapies are strongly encouraged".Keto Diet and Cancer - Bottomline : Fasting and drastic cut of carbohydrates consumption (see more below) - two major elements of the keto diet that were proved to make a significant contribution to cancer prevention and cancer treatment. Combating Cancer As we discussed above, cancer is the result of parasites activity. Ivermectin and Fenbendazole are well recognized and effective drugs to treat parasites. Both drugs have been in use by veterinarians for years to stop parasites related problems. Ivermectin: Note! Beginning 2025 there are reports (from trusted sources) indicating that there is a corrupt effort to destroy the most beneficial Ivermectin properties by adding Remdesevir to it. Remdesevir is a poison that can cause severe kidney damages. Avoid this remedy until further notice! In This comprehensive study Ivermectin was tested against 28 types of Cancer, to identify the most and the least sensitive types to Ivermectin. Ivermectin was tested at 2mg/kg/day which translates to roughly 5uM in vitro concentration. The most sensitive cancer cell lines were: 1. Ovarian 2. Breast 3. Glioblastoma 4. Lung Cancer 5. Colon Cancer 6. Uterine SCC 7. hepatocellular 8. breast TNBC 9. Pancreatic 10. Endometrial Least sensitive were: 1. osteosarcoma 2. gastric 3. melanoma Although lymphoma and leukem ia cell lines appear to be more resistant to Ivermectin, Ivermectin has a significant impact on those cells' ability to form colonies. So yes, Ivermectin is useful against BOTH lymphomas and leukemias. Ivermectin also goes after CANCER STEM CELLS, which tend to be resistant to chemotherapy: “Ivermectin has a preferential depletion effect on the cancer stem-like cell population…” “We observed that among all the evaluated cell lines, a decrease in cell viability and clonogenicity is more evident in the cancer stem-like cells than in their parental population.” KEY findings of this study : At a human dose of 2mg/kg, Ivermectin can achieve anti-cancer effects such as cell cycle arrest (inhibit proliferation), preferrential inhibition of cancer stem-like cells, synergize with several chemotherapy drugs and inhibit tumor growth in a breast cancer mouse model. Ivermectin is an anthelmintic and antihelminthic drug, covering a very wide/broad range of parasites. There are numerous studies that have shown the ivermectin's effectiveness to stop almost all types of cancer. [Read more ] Ivermectin dosage: General recommendation is 200 micrograms per kilogram orally as a single dose. Most Ivermection tablets are 12mg/tablet. There are some, like JFK junior that recommend 2 tablets a day (morning and afternoon). Note: some ivermectin producers use E171 (titanium dioxide) in the extraction process. This is a poisonous substance! make sure that the ivermectin tablets that you acquire does not contain this substance. Fenbendazole: "Fenbendazole acts as a moderate microtubule destabilizing agent and causes cancer cell death by modulating multiple cellular pathways. [Read more , and more ] Fenbendazole acts directly to "activate the tumor suppressor gene p53 i.e. its activity stops the formation of tumors". Fenbendazole dosage: The original Joe Tippens protocol suggests the use of 222mg fenbendazole capsule daily after a fatty meal with one day per week off. Cancer Treatment Practices 5.0 2 Reviews average rating is 5 out of 5, based on 2 votes, Reviews Reviews Fasting A Winning Formula Combating Cancer 5.0 2 Reviews average rating is 5 out of 5, based on 2 votes, Reviews Reviews Combating Cancer - Ivermectiv Nicotine In a thorough scientific article submitted on Dec. 2020 the researchers write in the introduction "Tumor cells are characterized by the activation of mechanisms that enhance proliferation and resistance to apoptotic signals. In many types of cancer, such as lung [1 ,2 ], breast [3 ] and stomach [4 ,5 ,6 ] cancer, and in a number of others, nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are involved in the mechanisms of cancer progression". The researchers continue to describe the results of many studies using nicotine to slow down the progression of non-neuronal cells. In this article they describe the effect of nicotine on proliferation of C6 glioma cells. C6 cancer cell line is a rat glioma cell line, which can simulate in overall the high growth rate, the high vascularization, and the highly infiltrative character of glioblastoma multiforme. The researchers write: "we investigated the effect of nicotine at a concentration of 1 μL/mL (6.1 mM) on the proliferation and viability of C6 cells. At this nicotine concentration, inhibition of proliferation was observed, which after 72 h led to a decrease in the number of cells by more than two times; the viability was also reduced (Figure S2 ). However, it should be taken into account that the reason for such a strong decrease in the concentration of cells may be their detachment from the surface and, as a consequence, the cessation of division. We tested acetylcholine at concentrations ranging from 2 µM to 2 mM with incubation times of 24, 48 and 72 h. No effects of acetylcholine were observed". Nicotine Figure S2 Cancer Cells Annihilators Vitamin C coupled with Calorie Restriction This article in section 3.1. "Less Is More: Calorie Restriction (CR) and Cancer Therapy Response" with all its references leaves no room for doubts about this practice! In summery, the cancer cell can exist almost exclusively on glucose, the simple, common carbohydrate. This is its source of energy, and it may die without it (Learn about Keto diet ).Unlike a cancer cell, the healthy cell can also produce energy from fatty acids. Coconut oil, . Eliminate the glucose supply to the healthy cell, and it will continue to flourish. In the cancer cell, some of the mitochondria is inactive for energy production. The malignant cell produces energy from the breakdown of glucose outside of the mitochondria (The Warburg phenomenon ), inside the cytoplasm. Therefore, it produces less energy from glucose, almost 20 times less than the healthy cell. Because cancer cells are "" to live, divide, they need a lot of energy, translated to a lot of glucose, provided by a lot of receptors that "suck" the glucose from the blood. Watch this video for complete conviction in the proposed diet!!!In the following sections we explain more about cancerous tumors and how to "starve them to death". It is strongly recommended to adopt that practice as a precautionary measure when dealing with benign tumors. Yet another study concludes : "At higher concentrations Ascorbic Acid (AA) may increase ATP production by increasing mitochondrial electron flux, also may induce apoptotic cell death in tumor cell lines ". Adding High Doses Of Vitamin C: Vitamin C is a relative of glucose. When cancer cells encounter glucose deficiency , they "compensate" it by this vitamin C alternative (if and when it is available) transported by the GLUT1, GLUT3, and GLUT4 glucose transporters. The cancer cell increases the u ptake of the oxidized form of vitamin C , (dehydroascorbate (DHA)), with "destructive" implications. In low doses, vitamin C, is an antioxidant. It protects the cell from free radicals, at very high levels in the cell, it acts as a pro-oxidant, producing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). According to several studies, the abundance of vitamin C, with the help of iron and copper in and around the cell, encourages the production of hydrogen peroxide. In "regular" cells the catalase enzyme , is in charge of breaking down hydrogen peroxide produced by the mitochondria as part of its ATP production process. This enzyme is a huge protein, built from 500 amino acids, and contains iron. It is able, under optimal conditions ( pH 7.5 ) to break down in one second , and I know you won't believe it, five million molecules of hydrogen peroxide. With "God's help" in most types of cancer cells, " ...examined showed both low catalase and glutathione peroxidase levels, suggesting that most cancer cell types cannot detoxify hydrogen peroxide". Such excess of hydrogen peroxide, like any free radical, slowly damages the cancer cell. That is why, for best results, large amounts of vitamin C, injected intravenously (IV) must be accompanied by a diet with almost complete reduction of sugars and carbohydrates (especially the simple ones). This way, the cancer cell with its insatiable glucose craving, will eagerly swallow the "glucose-like" vitamin C, and its activity will be impaired. [Read more 38 ,39 ] Cancer Cell Annihilators 4.0 2 Reviews average rating is 4 out of 5, based on 2 votes, Reviews Reviews Vitamin C coupled with Calorie RestrictionVitamin C coupled with Calorie Restriction Adding High Doses Of Vitamin C With ingested amounts found in foods , vitamin C plasma concentrations do not exceed 100 μmol/L (micromole / liter). Even with supplementation approaching maximally tolerated doses, ascorbate plasma concentrations are always <250 μmol/L (and frequently <150 μmol/L. In contrast, when ascorbate is intravenously (IV) injected, tight gastrointestinal control is bypassed until excess ascorbate is eliminated by glomerular filtration and renal excretion. With IV infusion, pharmacologic ascorbate concentrations of 25–30 mmol/L (millimole / liter) are reached. Note that 30 mm/l is 120 times more concentrated than 250 μmol/L. Such concentration of 30 mmol/L is safely achieved. Pharmacologic ascorbate can act as a pro-drug for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) formation, which can lead to extracellular fluid (of H2O2) at concentrations as high as 200 μmol/L. Pharmacologic ascorbate can elicit cytotoxicity toward cancer cells and slow the growth of tumors". Read this study "High-dose intravenous vitamin C, a promising multi-targeting agent in the treatment of cancer " to learn more on the subject. Does Too Much Vitamin C can Cause Side Effects? No! Even at high doses , vitamin C is not known to be toxic or to cause any serious adverse effects. The most common side effects are diarrhea, nausea, abdominal cramps, and other gastrointestinal issues. Vitamin D Vitamin D deficiency is closely related to chronic inflammation, and chronic inflammation is closely related to cancer development and progression. "Beyond its critical function in calcium homeostasis, vitamin D has recently been found to play an important role in the modulation of the immune/inflammation system via regulating the production of inflammatory cytokines and inhibiting the proliferation of proinflammatory cells, both of which are crucial for the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases". "Both extrinsic and intrinsic inflammations can result in immunosuppression, thereby providing a preferred background for tumor development". In this article Dr Mercola review the work of Dr. Carole Baggerly and its GrassrootsHealth nutrient research institute describing one of its most important findings: "80 Percent of Breast Cancer Incidences Could Possibly Be Avoided by Raising Vitamin D Level to 60 ng/mL From 20 ng/mL" Read more on "the Effect of Vitamin D3 Supplements on Development of Advanced Cancer". In conclusion: Bringing body weight to "normal" (BMI - Read below) and keeping vitamin D level at 60 ng/mL could significantly reduce the chance for cancer, and help in removing cancer if it has been already diagnosed in your body. Body Mass Index (BMI) BMI is a widely used tool to estimate a healthy weight range based on height and weight. The formula for BMI is: weight (in kg) / the square of the height (in meters). A BMI of less than 18.5 suggests underweight. A BMI of between 18.5 and 24.9 suggests a healthy weight range. A BMI of between 25 and 29.9 may indicate overweight. A BMI of 30 or higher may indicate obesity. [Source ] Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) For LUNG CANCER According to the American Cancer Society , most of cancer deaths in the US are the result of lung and bronchus cancer. This study concludes "H2O2 produces both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA lesions, increases the expression of cell adhesion molecules, and increases p53 activity and other transcription factors orchestrating cancer cell death". Many other studies corroborated this conclusion (examples): "Molecular and Cellular Effects of Hydrogen Peroxide on Human Lung Cancer Cells: Potential Therapeutic Implications", Additional references for H2O2 lung cancer treatment effectiveness: [REF 1 , REF 2 ] Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) For LUNG CANCER 4.0 2 Reviews average rating is 4 out of 5, based on 2 votes, Reviews Reviews 5.0 1 Reviews average rating is 5 out of 5, based on 1 votes, Reviews Reviews Vitamin D Cancer Prevention Practices Cancer Prevention Practices Keto Diet: Dr Steven R Gundry MD, in his book "Unlocking the Keto Code " emphasizes "I like to refer to the quartet of ketones, butyrate, other short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and postbiotics, and polyphenols as the Fab Four. They all, in their own uncoupling fashion, help to keep your mitochondria in first-rate shape...they all act as histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) - cancer-fighting agents!". To strengthen your microbiota, nourish it with probiome foods like sauerkraut, probiome yogurt (sheep or goat milk source - organic of course) and the like. Read more From Deepack Chopra : "The lifestyle factors that can increase the risk of breast cancer that we can modify include: lack of regular physical activity, drinking alcohol, smoking, unmanaged stress, and exposure to cancer-causing chemicals, therefore paying attention to our choices..." Sadhguru : "Cancerous cells are present in all our bodies. In the yogic system, we describe cancerous cells as being similar to, let’s say, criminals in a society. If there are a few individuals here and there who commit petty crimes, it doesn't really affect the society. But when they gang up together in one place, something begins to happen. Similarly, having a few cancerous cells in your body is not going to affect your life or health in any way. Generally in yoga, we look at it this way: when certain kinds of blanks happen in the energy body, either because of a person's attitude, food, lifestyle, or any other factor due to which the energy body gets affected, an atmosphere conducive to the growth of cancerous cells is created. So if the flow of energy is not good in a certain part of the body, cancerous cells choose that place to hide and fester. And continues: " Another thing is to consume neem paste and turmeric paste which are made into small marble-sized balls on a daily basis. This keeps the number of cancerous cells in the body within a certain percentage, where they do not gather against the system".

The aloe vera miller leaf structure, how its nutrients content compares to that of the aloe arborescens and the nutrients distribution inside the leaf structure. ALOE LEAVES Page Content: 1. Gel Rich, Gel Slim Sections 2. Aloe Vera Leaf Structure ALOE ARBORESCENS ALOE VERA BARBADENSIS Related Linked Pages: Aloe As Herbal Remedy Back to Pages Aloe Daily Diet Aloe Scientific Studies ALOE VERA SUPLEMENTS A comparative analysis of beneficial ingredients between aloe arborescens and aloe vera barbadensis must be based on scientific studies (more than a single study) that could be accessed! All the websites that sell some formula related to the Father Zago recipe, present aloe as containing from 70% more of medicinal components. Some of them claim for 200% more and even higher. If they bother to give the source of their numbers, they all make reference to "Dr. Aldo Facetti, phytology technician and herbalist at the Palatin Salzano Institute in Italy". What is missing is the reference to the scientific paper that substantiates these numbers! We have already mentioned a scientific study that showed the aloe vera and the aloe leaves have similar beneficial ingredients but in terms of weight ratios, aloe vera has 60% more polysaccharides, 43% less aloin and 70% less antioxidants. In his paper "The Therapeutic Components In Aloe Vera" , Dr. Ivan Danhof,MD, Ph.D. presents the importance of the polysaccharides as the dominant beneficial ingredient in the aloe vera plant . This study shows that the aloe vera leaf skin contains 2.4 more polysaccharides than the leaf's gel! There are a few benefits for this option: Product availability - as we already mentioned, for now and for years to come, aloe plant is not available in commercial volumes. For Father Zago's recipe application the aloe vera gel slim leaf is a good substitute to the aloe leaf. The aloe vera gel rich section being so succulent and human skin permeable, is considered an excellent skin moisturizer , preferable for cosmetic applications, and as a daily supplement for great varieties of recipes of smoothies and juices that are not as "heavy" as Father Zago's recipe. Read more on the supplement recipes in the Daily Diet page. Aloe Gel Slim section Aloe Gel Rich section Aloe leaf GEL RICH, GEL SLIM SECTIONS : Translated to practical applications, the aloe vera's ratio of skin to gel (leaf skin weight divided by leaf gel weight) is much smaller that that of the aloe, given its much more succulent and large leaves. If we cut the aloe vera leaf into two sections - gel slim section and gel rich section, we will find out that the gel slim section whose "skin to gel ratio" is so much higher, is by far richer with polysaccharides, aloin and antioxidants - ingredients that are found in the leaf's skin. ( Read More ) Gel Slim Gel Rich Sections Aloe Leaf Structure Aloe Vera Leaf Structure: The importance of the leaf structure: The gel which makes up the inner part of the aloe leaf is well recognized and used extensively in most of the aloe vera products. What is less known and used is the latex (some call it sap) that is between the gel and the outer rind of the leaf. This layer contains the aloin which is part of the Anthraquinone group of compounds and contains some most beneficial ingredients . Read more here . We have already mentioned the aloin in the toxicity discussion , and the importance of its dosage when ingested. There are two major elements to consider when evaluating the pros and cons of using the Aloin for topical applications: The dose of aloin that could reach the blood stream is so much smaller when applied topically, It does not pass through the digestive system. On the other hand, testimonials and "field usage" as represented by Father Zago in his books, counting "success stories" of using the inner layer of the aloe skin with its aloin rich content, seem to justify its use for various skin conditions that could be treated by topical application. Practically, all that is needed to make use of this "substance" for topical applications is to scrape (using a knife) the inner side of the leaf's skin after it is being peeled to extract the gel, and keep the scraped gel refrigerated in a jar for application within a few days, and any extra, in a jar to be kept frozen (until defrosted for further use).

VITAMIN D3 Page Content: Background Vitamin D Daily Intake Vitamin D Deficiency Implications Background " Vitamin D receptors (VDRs) are located predominantly in the nucleus of cells, where they act as transcription factors regulating the expression/transcription of genes (genomic pathways) that control cell-specific biological functions. Furthermore, a small proportion of the VDRs are found in the cytosol, (the aqueous component of the cytoplasm of a cell, within which various organelles and particles are suspended) where they modulate various enzymes and signaling pathways (non-genomic pathways). Bottom line, vitamin D is essential for all our body tissues! A healthy vitamin D blood level is 40-50 ng/mL. Vitamin D Daily Intake There are many "versions" to the proper daily intake of vitamin D supplement. We recommend to follow the recommendations of Dr. Berg "I started taking 5,000 IUs of vitamin D in May 2020 and started feeling good and I increased it to 10,000 IUs and started feeling great". According to Dr. Gundry - another prominent health figure that we follow, the minimum daily intake should be 5,000 IUs (min. 6:31) . It is recommended that taking vitamin D supplement capsules should be complemented with some fat be it in the capsules or with fat (e.g. avocado) that you have in your meal. Vitamin D Deficiency Implications " Over the past decades , scientists gathered overwhelming evidence indicating that the observed global vitamin D deficiency not only has a negative impact on human skeletal system, but also facilitates development and progression of multiple disease of civilization, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, autoimmune disease, and cancer.""The active form of vitamin D (1,25(OH)2D3, calcitriol) regulates calcium–phosphate homeostasis through the interaction with vitamin D receptor (VDR). It also has a huge impact on the proper functioning of musculoskeletal, immune, nervous, and cardiovascular systems". Backgroud Vitamn D Daily Intake Vitamin D Deficiency Implications

Pour the other cup into a kettle Boil the water, and pour the water back to the cup. Take two small leafs of parsley and put one in each of the cups. Watch for yourself how long each of the leafs preserved its refresh look in each of the cups. When we did it, the leaf in the cup with water from the microwave oven lost its fresh "look" real fast! Microwave Oven Dangers Microwave Oven Dangers Excerpts from the book "Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation" By: Andreas Moritz, Posted: November 20, 2011 — updated 2017 "Did you ever wonder what microwaves can do to water, food and your body? Russian researchers have found decreased nutritional value, cancer-making compounds and brain-damaging radiolytics in virtually all microwave-prepared foods. Eating microwave-prepared meals can also cause loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability and a decline in intelligence, according to the research. The Russian scientists also found decreased nutritional value – or significant dimming of their ‘vital energy field’ – in up to 90 percent of all microwave-prepared foods". This website publishes another article from Andreas Moritz that says : "Microwave Cooked Food Is Nutritionally Deficient ‘Nuclear Waste'. Read this review for more information , In addition, the B complex, C and E vitamins linked with stress-reduction and the prevention of cancer and heart disease, as well as the essential trace minerals needed for optimum brain and body functioning, were all rendered useless by microwaves, even at short cooking durations. Microwave-cooked food is basically reduced to the nutritional equivalent of cardboard. If you don’t want to develop nutrient deficiencies, you may be better off throwing this appliance out of your kitchen. The radiation has been found to accumulate in the kitchen furniture, becoming a constant source of radiation in itself. Microwave usage in the preparation of food has been found to lead to lymphatic disorders and an inability to protect the body against certain cancers. The research found increased rates of cancer cell formation in the blood of people eating microwave-cooked meals. The Russians also reported increased rates of stomach and intestinal cancers, as well as digestive and excretive disorders, plus a higher percentage of cell tumors, including sarcoma. The Microwave Heating Action Microwaves rip apart the molecular bonds that make food to be ‘food’. Microwave ovens hurl high-frequency microwaves that boil the moisture within food and its packaging by whipsawing water molecules dizzyingly back-and-forth at more than a billion reversals per second. This frantic friction fractures food molecules, rearranging their chemical composition into weird, new configurations unrecognizable as food by human bodies. By destroying the molecular structures of food, the body cannot help but turn the food into waste; but not harmless waste, rather ‘nuclear waste’. Microwave Side effects Microwave ovens produce strong microwave radiation. In case that the oven is not highly "encapsulated" to eliminate radiation emission, other than just making food useless and ‘wasteful’, there is a broad spectrum of microwave side effects, as listed in this extensive scientific studies review. To name a few: Adverse neurological effects in the offspring Damage to Mechanisms underlying learning and memory Oxidative stress and apoptosis and the list goes on.... The Russian government had banned microwave ovens for over 50 years, but they were recently introduced to the Russian market (for ‘economic’ reasons). Microwave ovens have taken over the cooking chores in 9 out of 10 American homes, and American and Chinese microwave manufacturers hope that the same will happen in Russia. Reporting for the Forensic Research Document of AREC Research (Agricultural Research and Education Centre ) , William P. Kopp states: “The effects of microwaved food byproducts are long-term, permanent within the human body. Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.” The Microwave Heating Action Microwave Side effects

Acupuncture and Acupressure Back to Brain Solution: Acupuncture for Dementia – How does the Treatment Help? Acupuncture provides a large range of effects, which include the systematic reduction of inflammation and promotion of circulation, among other things. Though it is still not clear exactly how acupuncture initiates the healing process, most patients hardly care as they are just happy over the fact that the treatment is working. Several types of research conducted in the Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine have shown that through great many tests such as the Morris water maze for detecting the neuroprotective effects and detecting levels of DNA oxidation for the oxidative stress aspects, researchers wanted to find out whether acupuncture could mimic a similar effect of TXNIP inhibition. Now, what is TXNIP? TXNIP, more elaborately known as Thioredoxin-interacting protein, is in plain terms a kind of switch which sets the ball rolling for the destructive processes present in vascular dementia along with conditions such as diabetic neuropathy, for example. So in layman’s terms, if we are able to inhibit the release of TXNIP, it will also inhibit the types of damage that lead to a range of issues. The study revealed several important points about acupuncture and how it was able to reverse a number of negative inflammatory and destructive markers which include TXNIP. Acupuncture is more effective in dealing with and treating dementia than conventional drug therapy, this has been backed by researchers at the Wuhan University of Science and Technology. It was published in the Journal of the Hubei University of Chinese Medicine. Their research has clearly demonstrated that acupuncture can be both a safe and effective treatment for vascular dementia. Acupuncture has achieved an impressive 90% total efficacy rate, especially when you use the Xing Nao Kai Qiao acupuncture protocol, closely followed by conventional acupuncture which managed to notch up an 80% total efficacy rate, further followed by drug therapy which fetched up a 60% total efficacy rate. It is recommended that you contact a practitioner for this therapy proce dure. Customer Reviews QUESTIONS ASKED Please try to present your review by responding to the questions below.

How the right diet, reinforced with vitamins D and C (not ascorbic acid!) can subdue infection and inflamation. AGE RELATED HEALTH ISSUES Page Content: Background Telomeres Attrition Risk Factors of Disregulation of Immune System The key factor in chronic inflammation Coping with chronic inflammation Health Issues Caused By Impaired Nitric Oxide Generation Nitric Oxide Enrichment Age Related ATP Production Decline Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) Depletion Arthritis Related Linked Pages: BPH Diabetes Stroke Age Related Skin Issues Background The aging process involves many body functioning factors. On this page we present some of the leading factors of this process and its health implications: At the Cell Level Telomeres attrition , characterized by the shortening of telomeres with each cell division, paradoxically serves as both a protective mechanism and a contributor to tissue degeneration and age-related ailments. Tissue (metochondria) ATP production decline, Body Health Dysregulation of the immune system that leads to a chronic systemic inflammatory state, Nitric Oxide impaired generation and signaling that contribute substantially to cardiovascular risk and associated health issues, Parasites/pathogen proliferation Background TELOMERES ATTRITION T elomeres attrition - When telomeres shorten beyond a certain threshold, the cell ends its functional life and in the best case dies, or in the worst case, gets stuck in a state that can be called a "zombie cell" (Senescent cell), which is a harmful state because these cells continuously transmit inflammatory distress signals, increase inflammation In general, and in general, the accumulation of such zombie cells is considered one of the characteristics and drivers of aging and morbidity. Telomerase is the enzyme responsible for maintenance of the length of telomeres by addition of guanine-rich repetitive sequences. This recent study published in Nature showed that Gut-specific telomerase enzyme expression counteracts systemic aging, or in other words if we slow down the aging of the intestinal cells, it slows down the aging of the entire being!!! Increasing Telomarse Enzyme Levels Follow a plant-rich diet high in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains[ 1 ][ 2 ]. This type of diet is associated with longer telomeres and increased telomerase activity. Exercise regularly, aiming for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity 6 days a week[ 3 ][ 5 ]. Regular exercise has been shown to increase telomerase activity and reduce telomere shortening. Manage stress through practices like gentle yoga, breathing exercises, and meditation[ 3 ]. Stress reduction techniques can help maintain telomere length and potentially increase telomerase activity. Ensure adequate intake of folate from natural sources rather than synthetic folic acid[ 2 ]. Folate-rich foods contribute to DNA synthesis and repair, which may benefit telomere health. Supplement with vitamin D , as higher levels are associated with longer telomeres[ 2 ]. A daily dose of 800 IU has shown promising results in improving telomere length. Consume foods rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids , such as fish, flax seeds, and leafy greens[ 1 ][ 4 ]. These nutrients help combat oxidative stress and inflammation, which can protect telomeres. Include specific nutrients that may activate telomerase, such as astragalus root extract, milk thistle seed extract, Korean ginseng extract, and L-citrulline[ 1 ]. Maintain a healthy weight and avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption[ 4 ]. Obesity and unhealthy habits can increase oxidative stress and accelerate telomere shortening. Telomeres Attrition Risk Factors of Disregulation of Immune System RISK FACTORS FOR DYSREGULATION OF IMMUNE SYSTEM THAT LEADS TO CHRONIC INFLAMMATION " Supporting energy production and reducing inflammation in the brain are the two most important factors to prevent and treat Alzheimer". For energy production - Read more here about our recommended diet. " One of the major changes that occur during aging is the dysregulation of the immune response, leading to a chronic systemic inflammatory state." How does systemic chronic inflammation (SCI) - impact the body ? There are multi-level mechanisms underlying SCI and several RISK FACTORS that promote this health-damaging phenotype, including infections, physical inactivity, poor diet, environmental and industrial toxicants and psychological stress. First and foremost, try to reduce (preferably - eliminate) these risk factors! (Read more ) Chronic inflammation can start damaging healthy cells, tissues, and organs. Over time, this can lead to DNA damage, tissue death, and internal scarring. One of the most important medical discoveries of the past two decades has been that the immune system and inflammatory processes are involved in not just a few select disorders, but a wide variety of mental and physical health problems that dominate present-day morbidity and mortality worldwide. Indeed, chronic inflammatory diseases have been recognized as the most significant cause of death in the world today, with more than 50% of all deaths being attributable to inflammation-related diseases such as ischemic heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes mellitus (diabetes type 2 ), chronic kidney disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and autoimmune and neurodegenerative conditions. (Read m ore ) A key factor in chronic inflammations Cytokine dysregulation is believed to play a key role in the remodeling of the immune system at older age, with evidence pointing to an inability to fine-control systemic inflammation, which seems to be a marker of unsuccessful aging. This reshaping of cytokine expression pattern, with a progressive tendency toward a pro-inflammatory phenotype has been called “inflamm-aging.” Despite research there is no clear understanding about the causes of “inflamm-aging” that underpin most major age-related diseases, including atherosclerosis, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, and aging itself. “The importance of chronic low-grade inflammation in the pathology of numerous age-related chronic conditions is now clear”.(Read more ) COOPING WITH CHRONIC INFLAMMATION First and foremost , start the keto diet, take care of your microbiome, and exercise (Read more on this page ). Note, there is a "UNANIMOUS" AGREEMENT among practitioners and "experts" that diet is the underlying cause for chronic inflammation, and therefore a diet change is the first and most important element in the recovery process.

"Twenty percent of the Medicare population has at least five chronic conditions i.e., hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, etc. Studies in experimental models and even humans reveal that constitutive production of nitric oxide (NO) is reduced with aging and this circumstance may be relevant to a number of diseases that plague the aging population. NO is a multifunctional signaling molecule, intricately involved with maintaining a host of physiological processes including, but not limited to, host defense, neuronal communication and the regulation of vascular tone. NO is one of the most important signaling molecules in our body, and loss of NO function is one of the earliest indicators or markers of disease." "Impaired generation and signaling of nitric oxide contribute substantially to cardiovascular (CV) risk (CVR) associated with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus. In our rapidly aging society, advanced age is, in itself, a consistent and independent CVR factor. Many processes involved in aging are modulated by NO. We therefore postulated that aging might be independently associated with impaired NO signaling." "Aging is associated with a decline in physiological function and exercise performance. These effects are mediated, at least in part, by an age-related decrease in the bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO), a ubiquitous gasotransmitter and regulator of myriad physiological processes. The decrease in NO bioavailability with aging is especially apparent in sedentary individuals, whereas older, physically active individuals maintain higher levels of NO with advancing age. Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous signaling molecule that plays an essential role in regulating systemic physiological function. As such, maintaining NO homeostasis is essential for optimal function and health [1 ], [2 ], [3 ]" Nitric Oxide Enrichment The process of maintaining NO homeostasis is quite complex but there are strong evidences about the role of flavonoids in Modulating this process . Furthermore, research work on the exceptional health and life expectancy of the Kuna tribe has linked it to their exceptional flavonoids rich cocoa consumption.[4 ], [5 ], [6 ] Nitric Oxide Enrichment Practice Do not confuse this compound - Nitric Oxide - (NO), with nitrous oxide with the chemical formula N2 O which is a powerful oxidiser. "One of the main mechanisms by which dietary flavonoids are thought to influence cardiovascular disease is via protection of the bioactivity of the endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) ."[REF1 ]. "The endothelium plays an important role in the maintenance of vascular homeostasis. Central to this role is the endothelial production of nitric oxide (NO) , synthesized by the constitutively expressed endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase" [REF2 ] Authentic cocoa and coffee powders are rich with flavonoids. A 5 grams of cocoa (a table spoon) contains up to 130 mg of flavonoids . This study brings a lengthy discussion about the preferred flavonoids daily dosage, but as with many others dealing with this specific issue (flavonoids daily dosage), it does not provide a simple answer. So what left for us is to recommend that you try to follow the Kuna indigenous tribe members and drink as much unsweetened cocoa as you feel good with (they drink 10 ounces of water with cocoa a day). What we do is adding a spoonful of cocoa powder to our coffee - you are welcome to try it. Alternatively, you may want to follow Dr. Gundry's recommendations or anybody else that you consider as a trust worthy one. 5.0 1 Ratings average rating is 5 out of 5, based on 1 votes, Ratings Reviews Nitric Oxide Enrichment Practice Citrus Peels "It has been found that peels are the main sources of polyphenols in citrus fruits [6 ]. Peel residues from sweet and bitter oranges, lemons, and mandarins have proved to be an important source of phenolic acids and flavonoids, chiefly polymethoxyflavones (PMFs), flavanones, and glycosylated flavanones [7 –10 ]. These bioactive compounds are strongly associated with therapeutic properties including antiallergenic, antiatherogenic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticarcinogenic, antithrombotic, cardioprotective, and vasodilatory effects [11 –18 ]". Ceylon Cinnamon Bark Oil Anti Aging Properties There are many supplements that have one anti aging property or another. What sets the cinnamon oil apart is the broad spectrum of its anti aging benefits, and the fact that it is a tasty supplement, making it easy to add as a daily supplement, without the need to ingest it in a capsule. This study " Medicinal properties of ‘true’ cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum): a systematic review " presents the results of 70 studies (published before Dec. 2012) on the "subject": "The beneficial health effects of Cinnamomum Zeylanicum identified were; a) anti-microbial and anti-parasitic activity, b) lowering of blood glucose, blood pressure and serum cholesterol, c) anti-oxidant and free-radical scavenging properties, d) inhibition of tau aggregation and filament formation (hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease), e) inhibitory effects on osteoclastogenesis, f) anti-secretagogue and anti-gastric ulcer effects, g) anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity, h) wound healing properties and i) hepato-protective effects. The studies reported minimal toxic and adverse effects." Talking of aging, this study that focuses on "The breakdown of collagenous networks with aging results in hypoactive changes in the skin." concludes : "Cinnamon extract potently up-regulated both mRNA and protein expression levels of type I collagen without cytotoxicity. We identified cinnamaldehyde as a major active component promoting the expression of collagen by HPLC and NMR analysis." or to put it simply: "These results suggested that cinnamon extract is useful in antiaging treatment of skin. " Dosage: daily dosage should be 3-5 drops of oil diluted in 1/2 table spoon of coconut oil .

Aging is associated with accumulation of mitochondrial DNA damage and mutations, impairing the electron transport chain and reducing ATP generation. Mitochondrial dysfunction leads to increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), further damaging mitochondria in a vicious cycle[4 ]. Oxidative Stress Increased oxidative stress with age negatively impacts ATP production: Higher levels of ROS damage cellular components including proteins, lipids and DNA[4 ]. Oxidative damage to mitochondrial proteins and DNA impairs their function and ATP generation capacity. Age-related decline in antioxidant defenses leaves cells more vulnerable to oxidative damage[5 ]. Hormonal Changes Alterations in hormone levels with age affect energy metabolism: Decreased growth hormone levels reduce mitochondrial function and ATP production[2 ]. Increased insulin resistance impairs glucose uptake and utilization for energy production. Reduced Physical Activity Declining physical activity with age contributes to reduced ATP production: Lack of exercise leads to decreased mitochondrial content and function in muscles[2 ]. Physical inactivity results in muscle atrophy and reduced capacity for ATP generation. Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) Depletion NAD+ depletion refers to its reduction levels in cells and tissues. This is a significant issue that occurs with aging and in various pathological conditions. NAD+ is a critical molecule , essential for creating cellular energy and maintaining cellular health. Levels of this critical molecule correlate with health status in aging. Age-related decline in NAD+ levels impairs energy metabolism: NAD+ is essential for mitochondrial function and ATP production through the electron transport chain[1 ]. Decreased NAD+ impairs mitochondrial quality control mechanisms like mitophagy (a type of selective autophagy through which damaged mitochondria are marked and recognized by the cellular autophagic machinery[2 ]). Here are the key points about NAD+ depletion: Aging: NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, approximately 10% per decade after adulthood[3 ]. Increased NAD+ consumption: Enzymes like PARPs, CD38, and sirtuins consume NAD+ at higher rates during stress, DNA damage repair, and inflammation[4 ][5 ]. Reduced NAD+ synthesis: The activity of key NAD+ biosynthesis enzymes like NAMPT decreases with age[4 ][5 ]. Metabolic dysfunction: Conditions like obesity and diabetes can accelerate NAD+ depletion[5 ]. In summary, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative damage, hormonal changes, physical inactivity, and NAD+ depletion work together to trigger the decline in tissue ATP production observed with advancing age. This creates a self-reinforcing cycle, as reduced ATP further exacerbates these underlying factors. Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) Depletion

Lazy eye - a collection of well tested practices that will alliviate this problem LAZY EYE Page Content: The Problem Lazy Eye Prac tices - Pencil Push-Ups Brock String Exercise Dot Card Practice Expected Results Related Linked Pages: Glasses, Contact Lenses, LASIK Cataract and Eye Floaters Dry Eyes Eye Strain Glaucoma and Macular Degeneration Back To Eyes The Problem: What are the signs of lazy eye ( amblyopia )? Early warning signs include: A tendency to bump into objects on one side, An eye that wanders inward or outward, Eyes that appear not to work together, Poor depth perception, Double vision, squinting. Lazy Eye Could Affect Body Balancing! Lazy eye, is a common condition that occurs in approximately 3 out of every 100 children . In some cases, lazy eye may be the result of untreated strabismus . Strabismus is a There is a direct connection between the visual system and body balancing and vice versa. Lazy Eye Practices Pencil push-ups for lazy eye For this exercise, you can use a pencil or any object that’s pencil shaped. When doing this exercise, don’t place an eye patch over the stronger eye. Hold the pencil in front of you at arm’s length. Slowly move the pencil as close to the nose as possible, without it becoming blurry or doubled. Once the pencil becomes blurry, move it away from the nose. If the pencil contains a visual element, focus on it. Repeat 5 times. Do this session at least 3 times a day. Brock String Exercise This exercise helps the eyes learn how to work together to focus on an object. It was developed by Frederick Brock, a Swiss optometrist and strabismus specialist who died in 1972. This exercise requires a Brock string or a homemade version. A Brock string is a white string that’s approximately 15 feet long. It has colorful wooden beads on it, which can be moved around. Don’t use an eye patch when doing this exercise. Shop for a Brock string online. To do the Brock string exercise: Tie a loop on both ends of the Brock string. Use one loop to attach the string to a doorknob or other fixed object. Position the beads along the string so that one is close to the doorknob (far fixation), one is around 3 feet away from you (middle fixation), and one is 6 inches from your nose (near fixation). Stand directly in front of the doorknob. Use the other string loop to place the Brock string around your finger. Hold the string flush along your upper lip, right under your nose. The cord should be stretched tight. If it isn’t tight, take a moment to adjust and shorten it by making the loops larger. Look at the bead closest to you, and make sure you see one bead, not two. If you see two beads, move the bead until you see one. You should see two strings, as if one string is coming from each eye. The strings should form an X shape. As you move the bead closer to your nose, the strings should meet exactly at the bead, and take on a V shape. Repeat by shifting your focus to the middle fixation bead and then the far fixation bead. As your weak eye becomes stronger, the bead should be able to be moved closer to your eyes, until it’s only 1 inch away. Try to practice this exercise three times a day. Dot Card For this exercise, you’ll work to maintain a single image of a dot on a card with both eyes. To use a dot card: Draw dots on a rectangular card made out of cardboard or another type of stiff paper. Hold the card lengthwise and touching your nose so that the line of dots is directly in front of your face. Tilt the card down slightly. Focus on the dot farthest away from you. If your eyes are converging correctly, the pattern of dots should look like they’re in an A shape. The dot you’re focusing on should be singular and not blurry. Focus on the next dot in line, and then the next, holding each dot in focus for a count of five. If your eyes are continuing to converge correctly, an X shape will form. When you reach the dot that’s closest to you, the dots in the back will double and form a V shape. Try to repeat this exercise three times a day. Repetitions: We presented above three different exercises. Try to practice the exercise of your choice at least three times a day. Expected Results: Exercises are expected to significantly improve the balance of eyes and body, convergence insufficiency as well as conditions of strabismus, and amblyopia.

Tooth Pain and Mouth Sores Page Content: Background Low Mouth pH = Enamel Demineralization Detrimental Bacterial Growth - Plaque, Tartar, and Gingivitis Stopping a Toothache Home Tartar and Plaque Removal Tooth Decay Detection Tooth Decay Detection Alternatives Recipes for Tooth Paste and Mouth Wash Diet Change to Improve Mouth pH Cavity Development Stages Cavity Filling Root Canal Treatment Mouth Sores Remove Mouth Sores Background A tooth pain is the result of inflammation triggered by Dental caries (also known as tooth decay or dental cavities), Periodontitis (also called gum disease), and Pulpitis (inflammation of the dental pulp). As with many other inflammation issues, dental inflammations are associated with our diet, and more specifically fermentable carbohydrates (as explained below) and other acidic intakes that lower the mouth PH which promotes the growth and activity of cariogenic (cavity-causing) bacteria . Low Mouth pH = Enamel Demineralization When the pH in the mouth drops below 5.5, it creates an acidic environment that leads to demineralization of tooth enamel [REF1 ]. This critical pH threshold triggers the dissolution of hydroxyapatite, the main mineral component of tooth enamel [REF2 ]. As the enamel loses minerals, it becomes weakened and more susceptible to decay. Practices for PH Control Mouth Wash or Salt Water Gargling for Dental Health, Mouth wash using a tooth brush after a meal or gargling with salt water is a natural and effective way to maintain oral health . it's crucial to maintain a neutral oral pH through proper oral hygiene. When you gargle with salt water, the salt neutralizes the pH balance necessary for your gums to stay healthy; it can also reduce inflammation, helping prevent cavities and promoting healing. Saltwater Rinsing Practice : Pour a teaspoon of Salt into a glass of warm water, swirl until the Salt is dissolved, and swish the solution around in your mouth for 30 seconds before spitting it out. Repeat this process a few times a Week. Avoid swallowing the salt water. Try to avoid seeping drinks! If you take drinks between meals, make prolonged intervals between those intakes even water! More so dealing with acidic drinks like coffee and sweet/energy drinks. These intervals between food/drinks intake are essential for our saliva to restore the desired PH and its mineral content and provide the time for this environment in the mouth for the teeth remineralization process. Persistent acidity overwhelms this protective mechanism [REF2 ] favoring net mineral loss over time . Low Mouth PH = Enamel Demineralization Background Saltwater Rinsing Practice Diet Use a balanced diet low in fermentable carbohydrates (Read more below ), and adequate hydration. PH Testing It is suggested to make Periodic Mouth pH testing using pH test strips indicators (sample ) to verify that your adopted practices bring your saliva's pH to the normal pH range of 6.2 to 7.6, with an ideal target around 7.0 to 7.4. Regular monitoring of oral pH and along with addressing any imbalances will help significantly in the prevention of tooth decay. Detrimental Bacterial Growth - Plaque, Tartar and Gingivitis There is a host of bacteria species that thrive in low pH environments. These bacteria, most notably the Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans, ferment carbohydrates and produce more acid as a byproduct, further lowering the oral pH. These acid-producing bacteria - are the ones mostly responsible for producing plaque and Tartar If plaque is left on the teeth for too long, it will harden into tartar, consisting of mineralized dead bacteria mixed with proteins from saliva, that is much harder to remove. This hardened structure provides an ideal environment for harmful bacteria to thrive. The bacteria in tartar feed on sugars and carbohydrates from food, producing acids as a byproduct, acids that attack tooth enamel, leading to demineralization and eventually cavities. Additionally, tartar buildup, especially below the gum line, can irritate and inflame the gums, an inflammation that can lead to gingivitis and eventually periodontitis, which can further compromise tooth health and increase the risk of tooth decay . Detrimental Bacterial Growth Stopping a Toothache Dried Cloves Dried cloves are most effective and the simplest way to alleviate toothache, Anti-inflammatory chemicals , including eugenol and flavonoids, found in clove, help decrease inflammation and alleviate pain. Take one clove, move it to the aching tooth and hold it there pressing it between the aching tooth and the one just above it. Hold it there for a few hours (over night), and just rarely you would need another piece to complete the job. Myself and many of my associates are using this practice with most positive results! Oregano Oil As detailed on this page , oregano oil is a most comprehensive, powerful anti-inflammatory natural compound, effective for the Treatment of Infections Due to Oral Microbiota. As such, Myself and many of my associates are using the practice of oregano oral intake as prescribed here , with most positive results getting rid of a toothache!

Self-healing practices offer other alternatives ! Tooth Decay Detection Alternatives There is a simple alternative to the traditional periodical dentist check-up. Use a USB (sample ) or wireless (sample ) intraoral camera (connected to your laptop/desktop/mobile phone). Look for tooth plaque and the appearance of teeth with one of the first three stages (see below ) of tooth decay. Tooth Decay Detection Tooth Decay Detection Recepies for Tooth Paste and Mouth Wash The following recepies are for a small container, keep the relative ratios when using a larger one. Tooth Paste One teaspoon of coconut oil Half of a teaspoon of baking soda Fourth of a teaspoon of H2O2 3% Three drops of one of these oils: Cinnamon, Clove, Oregano Mouth Wash One tablespoons of H2O2 3% Four tablespoons of water Swish this mixture for about 30 seconds. 5.0 1 Ratings average rating is 5 out of 5, based on 1 votes, Ratings Reviews Recepies for Tooth Paste and Mouth Wash Diet Change to Improve Mouth PH As we discussed above mouth pH is crucial to avoid or stop the progression of teeth decay. The prime contributors to low pH (acidic conditions) in the mouth (and body) include: Fermentable carbohydrates are prime contributors to a low (acidic) mouth and body pH. Consequently, it is essential to make a significant cut in the consumption of foods and drinks that are rich in fermentable carbohydrates (see details below), or else use some food preparation practices that would cut down the content of these carbohydrates in the food that you consume. For example White wheat flour has a high glycemic index , with values ranging from 70-85% of that of pure glucose. This indicates that it is rapidly digested and absorbed, leading to a quick rise in blood sugar levels. The glycaemic index is a way of ranking carbohydrate-containing foods based on how slowly or quickly they are digested and increase blood glucose levels over a period of time – usually 2 hours. Use organic Xylitol as a substitute sweetener : This sweetener tastes just like sugar and can be used to replace it in recipes that call for sugar. Interestingly, Xylitol does not raise blood sugars or insulin levels in the same way that sugar does, meaning that it does not count as net carbs, making it popular for keto'ers (Also watch this video , and this one ). Note! Most sugars are fermentable carbohydrates : Glucose: a simple sugar found in fruits, is highly fermentable and preferred by yeast. Fructose: Found naturally in fruits and honey, fructose is fermentable. Sucrose: Found in sweet potatoes, beets, onions, green peas, sweet corn, peas, canned pumpkin, winter squash, rutabagas, carrots, and tomatoes. Maltose: The primary sugar in (malted) grains, maltose is readily fermentable. Note: Lactose found in dairy products is not a fermentable carbohydrate ! Leftovers of Fermentable carbohydrates in the mouth are growth ground for caries induced bacteria. Fermentable carbohydrates are organic compounds that can be broken down by microorganisms like bacteria and yeast through the process of fermentation. Here's an overview of fermentable carbohydrates: Fermented carbohydrates are part of some food processing: Brewing: Different sugars affect the fermentability of wort and the resulting beer characteristics[1 ] Winemaking: Grape sugars are fermented into alcohol Distilling: Fermentable sugars are essential for producing the base alcohol Breadmaking: Yeast ferments sugars in the dough, producing carbon dioxide for leavening Food fermentation: Used in producing fermented foods like yogurt and pickles Fermentable carbohydrates serve as the primary food source for microorganisms in these processes, enabling the production of alcohol, carbon dioxide, and other byproducts that contribute to the final product's characteristics[2 ][3 ]. Note! Tobacco Smoking and other forms of tobacco consumption are associated with lower alkali production in the mouth. Diet Change to Improve Mouth PH Cavity Development Stages Cavity Development Stages Demineralization: The first stage of tooth decay involves the loss of minerals from the tooth enamel due to exposure to acids produced by plaque bacteria, most notably the Streptococcus mutans [1 ][2 ]. This stage is characterized by the appearance of white spots on the tooth surface, indicating areas where minerals have been lost[3 ][2 ]. Enamel Decay: If demineralization continues, the enamel begins to break down further. The white spots may darken to a brownish color, and small holes or cavities can start to form in the tooth[1 ][3 ]. At this stage, the decay is still confined to the enamel layer. Dentin Decay: As the decay progresses, it reaches the dentin, which is the layer beneath the enamel. Dentin is softer than enamel and more susceptible to acid damage, so decay accelerates at this stage[1 ][3] . Tooth sensitivity may become noticeable, especially to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli. At this stage, Lactobacilli species become the most active bacteria [9 ], and are associated with the progression of the lesion as it advances into the dentin layer. Pulp Damage: When the decay reaches the innermost layer of the tooth, called the pulp, it can cause irritation and inflammation[4 ][3 ]. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels, so this stage often results in pain and increased sensitivity. Swelling may occur within the tooth, putting pressure on the nerves. Abscess Formation: In the final stage of tooth decay, bacteria invade the pulp, leading to infection. This can result in the formation of an abscess, which is a pocket of pus at the bottom of the tooth[4 ][3 ]. Abscesses can cause severe pain, swelling, and potentially spread the infection to other parts of the body if left untreated. Early stages of tooth decay can often be reversed or halted with proper oral hygiene. However, as decay progresses, more invasive treatments such as fillings, crowns, root canals, or even tooth extraction may become necessary[4 ][5 ]. Cavity Filling Once a cavity has reached "Stage 3" and beyond, a dentist would recommend to treat it with a filling. Filling a cavity has some problems! To fill the cavity the dentist would drill a hole in the tooth, expanding the size of the cavity. The composite filling material would hold for 5-7 years (do not use amalgam material because of its high mercury content). Our own experience is of a much shorter "life span"! The next "round" of filling would require a further expansion of the hole, which could substantially shorten the life span of the "second round of filling". We strongly recommend to leave the cavity as it is and take the preventive actions to avoid any further tooth decay. Root Canal Treatment The pro's and con's to this treatment are quite complex and described in detail in this link . Most important is to be aware of the risks involved in taking this treatment when you make the decision to avoid a tooth extraction. We strongly recommend that after reading the information provided in the link, you watch these two short videos on the subject [Video 1 , Video 2 ]. Cavity Filling Root Canal Treatment Mouth Sores Mouth Sores: Mouth (or Canker) sores are small, shallow lesions that develop on the soft tissues in your mouth or at the base of your gums. Unlike cold sores, canker sores don't occur on the surface of your lips and they aren't contagious. They can be painful, however, and can make eating and talking difficult. Cold sores are mainly associated with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). The discussion below does not refer to cold sores! Most mouth sores go away on their own in a week or two, but over that period they cause a substantial discomfort/pains. There are cases of mouth sores, that are the result of burns, biting the tongue or cheeks. Most mouth sores are pathogen related - Streptococcus or the Candida albicans. There is no definite cause behind mouth sores. However, certain factors and triggers have been identified. Before you look at all possibilities, check the most common one – food sensitivity! Start with chocolate ! Unfortunately, is a top food that causes mouth sores. It is mainly because of an alkaloid in chocolate called bromide. The mouth is quite sensitive to this ingredient, and it can lead to something similar to an allergic reaction. Some people with this mild allergy will develop mouth sores on their tongue and inner cheeks. Remove it from your diet for a couple of weeks and see how it works. Many who had this condition (come and go for years) found this one to be the “trigger”! Other food sensitivities are related to acidic foods like strawberries, citrus, and pineapples, coffee and other trigger foods. Other “triggers” : Minor mouth injury from dental work, hard brushing, sports injury, or accidental bite. Toothpastes and mouth rinses that contain sodium laury sulfate. Lack of essential vitamins, especially B-12, zinc, folate, and iron. Allergic response to mouth bacteria. Dental braces Hormonal changes during menstruation. Emotional stress or lack of sleep. Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections. Mouth sores also can be a sign of conditions that are more serious and require medical treatment, such as: Celiac disease (a condition in which the body is unable to tolerate gluten) Inflammatory bowel disease, Diabetes mellitus Behcet’s disease (a condition that causes inflammation throughout the body). Remove Mouth Sores Saltwater Mouth Swish "Rinsing the mouth with salt solution is recognized as the most preferable method for oral wound care. It is an economic and nontoxic way to provide a moist environment to facilitate the healing of oral wounds [14, 15]". Read here on this page how to apply this practice Other Alternatives Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) Hydrogen peroxide acts as a mild antiseptic that can help heal mouth sores by eliminating bacteria while the mouth heals. Use 3% H2O2, diluted up to 1:1 ratio with water. Swish the diluted solution in your mouth for about 1 minute, then spit it out. Do not swallow. Use up to 4 times daily. For very young children that are still using a pacifier, dip the pacifier in the H2O2 and let them use it. Baking Soda This scientific review concludes: " Baking soda, being a common household item, is readily available, safe, and minimally abrasive. The bactericidal property makes it a patient-friendly mouthwash". Another scientific article , concludes: "Sodium Bicarbonate oral rinse may be considered as a cheap and effective alternative for chlorhexidine and alcohol based mouth wash, especially where long duration usage is required" Additional benefits: Baking soda is alkaline , so it can help regulate your mouth's PH by neutralizing the acidity. As such, baking soda not only prevents tooth decay but also helps remineralize your enamel. Baking soda can also limit plaque buildup by neutralizing plaque acids. Start using it today to avoid this problem almost for good: The formula: Use a dark glass or food grade plastic bottle (HDPE, LDPE, and PP plastics), and fill: 2 tablespoons of food grade Baking Soda (Sodium bicarbonate) , 16 oz (2 cups) of Distilled water , Shake the mixture every hour or two to dissolve the powder in the water until you see only a few flakes raised when you shake it. Application: Shake well before you take the mixture, Mouth swashing - Once a day before bedtime (or twice a day morning - bedtime), take a little bit (2-3 tablespoons) of the mixture and swash for about 5 min (we practice 10 min). When done, spit the mixture out and wash your mouth. 5.0 1 Ratings average rating is 5 out of 5, based on 1 votes, Ratings Reviews 3.0 1 Ratings average rating is 3 out of 5, based on 1 votes, Ratings Reviews Remove Mouth Sores 5.0 1 Ratings average rating is 5 out of 5, based on 1 votes, Ratings Reviews
