SESAME   SEEDS   A   SUPER   FOOD  -  PARKINSON'S,   DEPRESSION   AND   DEMENTIA

Black seseme seeds are black from melanin pigment, the same as in dark hair and human skin.  Melanin protects our skin from the suns rays but it is also stored in our brains, however white people have less in the skin and brain. This leaves them more prone to brain oxidation from free radicals and hence, have the highest rates of Parkinson's disease  and dementia.  African American people almost never get Parkinson's disease for this reason. Some suggest that low dopamine levels also comes from this oxidation.  The melanin in black sesame seeds can help with Parkinson's and depression.  They are also an hair tonic in that if you take black seseme seeds for six months or more they will turn grey hair dark again.  However that  has to be done with good nutrition and good health. In Chinese medicine they believe the hair goes grey when one has weak kidneys. I met a ninety year old woman in China who had bound feet and I asked her if they hurt and she said no. I noticed her hair was so  beautiful  and shinny black.  I knew she had to be older because of her bound feet a practice that was banned a long time ago. I asked her age and her daughter answered ninety and I asked how she kept her hair so black and she said it was natural and not dyed. So if her feet were bound she came from a well to do family and had a good herbalist taking care of the family and her hair showed her good health and they said it came from good health.  Eating black sesame seeds can only help your health. 

 Farm raised Tilapia are raised in unhealthy environments, feed GMO grains, soy and corn, mixed with Chicken poop, pig and duck waste.  They are high pesticides  and antibiotics. Often they are bred in China  and are high in Dioxins causing inflammation and cancer. It is hard to find wild Tilapia. You are usually buying farm raised Tilapia fish at the market and at the restaurant.  

   Organic red roses are edible. Organic is important, so don't eat roses from a florist.  Roses contain pelargonidin which show to have potent anticancer effects against LNCap (human prostate cell line) and Molt-4F (human leukemia cell line)
cell cultures.  Red roses are considered to have a unique property of a cancer gene deactivator.   Also "Tellimagrandin from red rose petals showed impressive reduction of MRSA bacteria. Will everybody eating red roses as a norm in the future?
Take organic red rose petals and immerse in water with citrus peels 2 days and remove petals and drink the water. Alternatively, hot tea can be made by boiling petals in water
for ten minutes let steep. They can be sauteed in coconut oil or butter.
   Interesting note - Red rose petal extract given to goldfish boosts gonadal development and brightens their colors. 

No wonder deer love to eat your roses!

   Pumpkin seeds are high in trace minerals that are important to the health of your muscles and tendons. They can help with preventing deterioration of ligaments, tendons and muscles, including the ones in the arches of your foot, so they help with fallen arches. They also help  with general fatigue of the legs and the tendency of the joints to become displaced. The trace minerals in pumpkin seeds seem to act as an enzyme activator in the repair of these tissues and act in a synergistic way with     Vitamin E. They can help with bursitis, disc lesions, Dupuytren's contracture, bunions and deformity of ligaments.

While you probably have heard of the fact that they have zinc and are good for prostate problems. They are good for blood pressure, help prevent sudden cardiac arrest, heart attack and stroke. They are high in Omega-3 fats. They are high in fiber. Animal studies have suggested they may help with insulin regulation and help prevent diabetic complications. They help postmenopausal women with hot flashes. They have tryptophan for a good nights sleep and they have anti-inflammatory benefits.
It is best to eat them raw, sprouted or lightly roasted for a short time. Happy chewing! 

 The white part of yellow grapefruit has limonin which inhibits tumor formation by boosting body's production of Glutathione. It also contains D-glucarate that may be helpful for reversing breast cancer.  Grapefruit has Naringenin which has anti-viral properties. In one study It was found  to lower plasma and hepatic cholesterol concenterations in mice. It has the highest amount of the special fiber Pectin.  It is a proven fact in studies that pectin is a top cholesterol lowering agent. Grapefruit has less sugar that oranges and is thus better suited for cancer patients, diabetics or those concerned about sugar. Yellow grapefruit has seven times more Naringenin then red according to recent analysis with chromatography.
" Effects of grapefruit pectin on patients with heart disease. Clin Cardiol. 1988;11(9)"
Chinese grapefruit, Pomelo is even more medicinal and is mostly white pith. They can be as big as basketballs. They are good for you even if you don't have cancer. Use a blender so to make it easier for your body to absorb it. 

 Having a cucumber first thing in the morning will help get your body alkaline. It is yeast-inhibiting and that can help prevent cancer. It also has anti-bacterial activity, especially when a large amount is eaten on an empty stomach in the morning. Also cucumbers contain phytochemicals that improve the function of insulin.  This may help balance blood sugar and promote increased energy levels. The phytochemicals are in the skin, therefore one must use organic because skin in conventional cucumbers are high in pesticides. 
  For cancer prevention, cucumbers change out the intracellular fluid and shift the environment inside to be unfriendly to cancer. The skin is high in cucurbitanes, which are the most anti-cancer phytochemicals in the plant. "Human breast cancer cells activate a self suicide sequence and stops replicating under the influence of cucurbitane." According to a study in Evidence Based Complimentary and Alternative Medicine.
   Bone density and osteoporosis can be greatly improved with high silica foods. Cucumber has 4mg silica per 100 grams, which is more than most other foods, especially if you eat one to two a day. Good for the teeth too.
   Because cucumber is so alkaline it will chase out UTI infections by changing the ph of the
urinary tract. When you eat two a day it makes it harder for those bacteria and fungal colonies to thrive.
   Also because of the high silica cucumbers create healthy skin. They also prevent water retention. 

A  Japanese  Doctor   treating   COVID - 19  CASES  is   suggesting   everyone   should   ensure   your   mouth   and   throat   is  moist,   never   dry.  Take   a   few   sips   of   water   every   15   minutes   at   least.  Why?   Because   even   if   the   virus   gets   into    your   mouth   drinking   water   or   other   liquids   will  wash   them   down   through   your   esophagus   and  into   the   stomach.   And   your   stomach   acid   will  kill  all  the  virus.   If  the   virus   enters   your   windpipe   and   into   the  lungs   it's   dangerous   so   make   sure   they   just   get   washed   down   and   don't   have   a   chance   to   lodge   into   your   tissues.  

LEMON   IS   ANTIVIRAL

Lemon   is   antiviral,  shown   in   many    studies   that   it   has  antiviral   properties,  so   why   not   squeeze   some   fresh   lemon   in   your   water   that   your    are   sipping    for   extra  protection   from   the   COVID-19  virus.  

GARLIC  IS   ANTIVIRAL

The   fact   that   garlic   has  anti-viral   properties   is   well   known   and   old   news   so   enjoy   lots   of   garlic   in   your   food   during    this   time   of   worry   and   uncertainty.  

COCONUT  OIL   HAS   ANTIVIRAL  PROPERTIES

Because   coconut   has   been   found   to   have   antiviral   properties  scientists   are   researching   right   now  if   it   has   anti  COVID-19    properties   both   in   the   Philippines   and  in  the   US.  It   is   known   to   cause   the   outer   membrane   of   viruses   to   weaken   and   break.   There  is   lauric   acid  and   monolaurin   which   cause  disintegration  of  the  virus   envelope  and   inhibit   the   virus   replicative  cycle  and  they  prevent   the  viral   proteins  from  binding   to   the  host   cell  membrane.  Taking   coconut  oil  is   basically  safe  and   risk   free.  Why   not   take   a   little   coconut   oil   now   anyway,  before   we   know   for   sure   that   it   offers   protection   against   this   virus.   

VITAMIN  C

News   is   that   the   Chinese   found   large   doses   of   Vitamin  C   helped  patients   get   well   after   getting   the   virus.    We   need   a   lot   more   vitamin  C   then   we   usually   get   so   take   this   time   to   work   on   getting   more   vitamin   C   into   your   body   through   both   food    and   supplemental   sources.

MELATONIN  PREVENTS  FLUID   BUILD   UP   IN  THE   LUNGS

The chief cause of  death by the Wuhan virus is respiratory failure. That is, a person dies from suffocation. This is cause by the natural ability of the Corona virus to exacerbate or exaggerate the natural response of the human body to become inflamed so as to isolate infection.  This response is caused by inflammasomes.

The inflammasome is a multiprotein intracellular complex that detects pathogenic microorganisms and sterile stressors, and that activates the highly pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1b (IL-1b) and IL-18. Inflammasomes also induce a form of cell death termed pyroptosis. Dysregulation of inflammasomes is associated with a number of autoinflammatory syndromes and autoimmune diseases. 

Proinflammatory cytokines defend host cells from invading pathogens, but they are also capable of driving pathological inflammation [46].  During viral infections, inflammation can act in dynamically opposing antiviral and proviral roles. Inflammatory responses can inhibit viral replication and lower infection, but inflammation also has the capacity to release a large number of virions, further disseminating viral infection to cells like macrophages which will spread the virus to various other tissues and organs in the host [46].

 SARS, which is a corona virus, studies have shows that its lethalness depends in great part on its ability to cause an exaggerated response of inflammasomes in the human body.  

SARS-CoV coronaviruses encode viroporin proteins to activate inflammasomes in order to facilitate viral dissemination. The recent discovery of the ORF3a viroporin further deepens understanding as to why SARS-CoV can exert so much damage when infecting hosts.  

Melatonin’s powerful effects on Inflammasome storms

Scientific studies have already demonstrated that Melatonin is the organic compound used by the human body to moderate inflammatory responses.

Melatonin is well known for its chronobiotic effects, regulating biological functions tied to circadian rhythms.  Numerous studies have revealed that melatonin exerts effects beyond the control of circadian oscillators. The NLRP3 inflammasome is now recognized as a target for melatonin! Melatonin is the reason why children under the age of 9 seldom exhibit severe symptoms. In fact, children may exhibit mild or even no symptoms at all, even though they have been infected by SARS-CoV-2 [73].  How significant is the difference in melatonin production between children, adults and the elderly?

For most people, peak melatonin production is between the hours of 2 am to 3 am.  The maximum melatonin levels measured in healthy adults between the ages of 65 to 70 years appeared to be around 49.3 picograms/ml (pg/ml).  Adults more than 75 years of age only have maximum production levels of 27.8 pg/ml [74].  

Young children, on the other hand, have extremely high melatonin levels, compared to adults.  The maximum levels recorded for children showed a decline as age increased. Children between the ages of 1 to 5 had peak melatonin at 325 pg/ml, while those between the ages of 5 to 11 already declined to 133 pg/ml [76].

The fact that the pro-inflammatory cytokine storm effects are induced by the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes, the ability of melatonin to INHIBIT NLRP3 inflammasome elevates this powerful molecule to a truly unique position in the fight against COVID-19.  This also means that if a patient, regardless of age, has adequate melatonin, the infectiousness of COVID-19 will be greatly reduced, and the chances of developing ARDS/ALI significantly diminished. 

As  soon  as  anyone  above  35  years  of  age,  or  who  works  at  night,  is infected,  he  should  start  receiving  daily  a  dose  of  at  least 1 mg  of  Melatonin  to  prevent  the  exaggerated  response  of  inflammation  in  his  lungs,  which  the  Corona  viruses  are  known  to  produce.

Melatonin,  which  is  regularly  sold  in  Health  Food  Stores,  para-pharmacies and pharmacies  for  those  wishing  to  benefit  from  its  natural  properties  to  aid  in  sleeping,  is  an  easy  solution   to  one  symptom  of  Corona  virus  infection.  It  does  not  kill  the  virus,  but  it  gives  the  body  more  time  to  do  that  job  while  insuring  the  lungs  remain  open   to  provide  the  necessary oxygen  to  the  patient.

Why  is  such  a  simply  solution  not  being  used  in  hospitals?  Because  modern  medical  training   does  not  prepare  medical  staff  to  be knowledgeable  in  how  natural  compounds,  not  sold  by  pharmaceutical  companies  can  aid  to  cure  disease.

HONEY  IS  ANTIVIRAL

So  adding   a   little  honey  to  some  herbal  tea  or  green  tea  and  slowly  sipping  it  will  add   another  protective  aspect  to  prevent  getting  COVID -19.  

But  especially  Manuka  honey  from  New   Zealand  where  the  bees  feed   on  the   Manuka  bush  to  make   this   honey   where   science   has  found  to  be  even   more   strongly   antiviral.  Be careful   not  to  use   too  much   if   you  have   any   blood   sugar   issues   or   a   fungal  infection.  So  in   those   cases   just  add   a   tiny  amount   to   your   tea.

VATAMIN  D

While   many  people  are   taking   vitamin  D   already,  it's   good   to   realize   the   antiviral   immune   enhancement   that   occurs   when   we  keep  our   vitamin  D  levels  up.  It   is   helpful   to   add  2000 -  5000  units   daily  for  preventing   both   the   flu  and   COV-19.    

Vitamin  D  is  made   by   the   body    when   exposed   to   sunlight.  Populations  near   the   equator   are   tested   to   have   higher   Vitamin  D   levels   then   populations   in   the   northern    hemisphere.    People   in   the   northern    hemisphere   experience  severe   deficiencies   in   recent   times    and   rickets   a   disease   caused   by   Vitamin  D   deficiency   that   causes   bowl   leggedness   and    bone   problems   is   back   on    the   rise.  

Going   in   the    sun  is   a   good   way   to    prevent   viruses   as   the   ultra  violet  rays   kills   viruses   and   bacteria   while   giving   your  body    a   chance   to   increase   it's   vitamin  D   levels  that   are   scientifically  proven   to   be   anti viral.

HEAT  KILLS  THE   VIRUS

According  to   a   Dr.  from  Shenzhen  Hospital  who  is   being   transferred   to   Wuhan  to   study  the   pneumonia   virus   further  said   that   it  is  not   a   heat   resistant  virus   and  will  be  killed  in  an  environment of  26  to  27  degrees   celsius.  Therefore,  drink   plenty   of   hot   water  to  prevent   the   virus.  As   long   as   the   body  maintains   heat,  by  drinking  hot   water   and   taking  more   ginger,  garlic  pepper   and   pepper   the   virus   will   disappear  and  completely  when  exposed   to   the   sun.  

HOMEOPATHIC  REMEDIES

When  a   fever  hits   take   Gelsemium   and   take   Bryonia   for   the   dry  cough,  not   a   wet   cough.    

 High in red carotenoids red peppers score high in free radical quenching. Only a few foods have HDL cholesterol boosting power and benefits. Roasting, steaming and sauteing peppers "snaps" some of the double bonds and this increases most carotenoids absorption. Green, yellow and orange bell peppers are unripe. Raw red peppers are the highest ready-available food source of vitamin C. It seems to absorb better from a food source. Vitamin C assists with iron absorption and helps with anemia.
 

 So people have became concerned over the issues involved in the antibiotics used in the chickens and the free range issues, but here is another concern worth knowing.
In the 1940s, chicken farmers started using arsenicals like roxarsone to promote growth, treat disease and improve meat pigmentation. By 2010 , 88% of chickens raised for consumption in the US were given the arsenic-based drug roxarsone.  Study below is the first to compare the arsenic concentrations in meat samples from birds likely raised with the arsenical drugs versus organic ones. In a study published in 2013 by John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, they found in analysis of chicken samples purchased in grocery stores from 10 cities in USA, 70% of the conventionally grown chicken had arsenic exceeding FDA safety limits. Organic chicken had 400% less than conventionally grown chicken.   

 A one pound , well done, charcoal-broiled steak has 4 micrograms of Benzopyrene, an amount equal to what you would get from smoking 600 cigarettes. Grilling foods with intense heat over direct flame results in fat dripping on fire and yielding toxic flames containing a number of hydrocarbons. In an Italian study the highest concentrations of hydrocarbons was observed in pizza baked in wood-burning ovens, followed by BBQ beef coming in second.
Benzopyrene is present in BBQ and coal fired pizza at 10 times the amount found in smoked meats and fish. 

 It has been found that vitamin k is proven to help rebuild bone, but there are two kinds. The kind that is found in dark leafy greens, Vitamin k1,  we only absorb only 10% of the k1. 
Research has found that vitamin k2  is more effective and is found in abundance in a fermented soybean product called natto. Fermentation takes away most of soy's negative attributes.  In one study in Japan it was found that habitual intake of natto was associated with a significant and beneficial effect on bone health in elderly men and is primarily due to vitamin k2. Women who ate natto four times a week reduced bone mass loss on the thigh bone by 80%.

 Thyroid disorders are on the increase in the US population. There are many things effecting thyroid function.  PBDE's used in making bread, in plastics, foams, sunscreens effect thyroid function by blocking T4 conversion to T3 even in normal THS levels. Need iodine to counter it. Other things that effect thryoid function are Birth control, Lithium, SSRI's, Chemo, cigerette smoking, floride, nitrates and soy. 

 Common thought is if you eat it you better burn it or you're going to store it. Dr. Lustig says this is in fact incorrect in his video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM.  Turns out that gluttony and sloth as the cause of weight gain are actually secondary to a biochemical process which is primary  and relieves the obese person from being the perpetrator rather than the victim. We have an epidemic of obese 6 month olds. So if it is all about diet and excercise then why this?Not just in the US but around the world. Hi fructose corn syrup is 42 - 55% fructose. Fructose because how the liver metabolizes it turns out to be a poison in itself. It's half the price of sugar and because it is so cheap it is in everything. It is 7 times harder on arteries, does not suppress hunger hormone so you can consume a lot of calories and still be hungry. It doesn't stimulate insulin because there is no receptor on the beta cell to make insulin - so insulin doesn't go up and so leptin doesn't go up so the brain doesn't see that you ate something so you eat more. The metabolism of fructose in the liver is completely different from glucose - Fructose causes (metabolic syndrome) = obesity, Type 11 Diabetes, Lipid problems, Hypertension and Cardio Vascular Disease. Fructose causes a bio-chemical  chain reaction that ultimately makes your brain think you are starving. It causes a vicious cycle of craving. Baby formula has 42% corn syrup this is why obese 6 month olds. Fructose can only be metabolized by the liver but it produces products from that metabolism that are problematic and in fact toxic, therefore it is a poison.  The liver becomes overworked  and toxic causing gout, fatty liver, hyper-tension and an over worked liver can effect emotions and anger in traditional Chinese medicine.  Fruit is ok because there is a lot of fiber which limits the intestinal carbohydrate absorption. A diet high in vegetables is super healthy and cleans up the liver. 

 A report from the University of Edinburgh (2013) suggests that brain games and crossword puzzles may not be the best way to stay mentally sharp as you age. What does work is physical activity.  Study found that physical exercise improved the health of the brain by reducing white-matter damage and shrinkage, this has been shown to help thinking and memory abilities. MRIs revealed that exercise had a neuroprotective effect - reducing brain shrinkage as well as atrophy and the number of brain lesions - regardless of age, gender, social status, medical history or IQ. Social and mental activities, however, had no measurable effect on the  MRIs. Adding some sort of exercise  to your weekly routine now will promote cognitive health later in life. An increase in daily activity does not need to be  strenuous or expensive. Benefits can be accrued just by increasing how much you walk each day. 

 For patients with moderate to severe depression have showed in a randomized control trial to respond to Acupuncture with significant reduction in symptoms.  http://psychcentral.com/news/2013/09/28/acupuncture-works-just-as-well-as-psychotherapy-for-depression/60043.html 

 Bruce Lipton explains that beliefs about genetics are assumptions made through miscommunications in the press. Genetic determinism  - that you are controlled through your genes is not absolutely true but what is more true is that you are controlled by your perceptions. The question - do genes control biological expression is answered by the fact that genes can't turn themselves on or off. The inter-reaction with proteins changes everything. They plug into and bind to each other and genetic material and produces signals. He explains it further in this video   https://www.youtube.com/watchv=lSo88GMrA8w#t=3844
Genes are correlated with health conditions not the cause. Genes are blue prints but do not determine weather they will be read or not. Watch video to the end to fully understand this subject. You are not controlled by genes but by environmental signals. 

 
Several studies confirm evidence that Acupuncture eases symptoms of menopause and hot flashes.

 Possible Link betweet Fibromyalgia and Lymes Disease  This is because they have the symptoms of muscle pain and fatigue in common along with problems with the immune system.  With lymes disease a person can have it for a while before they have any symptoms which may occur after highly stressful event in their lives.  They may have been bit by a tick but not realized it and or remembered it.  More at  -   http://www.envita.com/lyme-disease/the-surprising-link-between-fibromyalgia-and-lyme-disease
 

 A woman accidently burns herself with boiling water. A vietnam man comes in and says do you have some flour and she gets it out and he puts her burnt hand in the flour and says now keep it there for 10 minutes and she did. It took away the pain and she didn't even have any blisters when she pulled it out. He said that in Vietnam, there was a guy on fire and in their panic, they threw a bag of flour all over him to put the fire out...Well, it not only put the fire out, but he never even had a blister. He said he learned about this trick in Vietnam. Since l learned about this I have tried this and found that cold flour feels and works even better then room temperature flour. So now I keep a bag in the fridge. I understand it even works on burnt tongues. By the way don't put your burnt area in cold water first just put it directly into the cold flour for 10 minutes. 

 Until recent human history people were barefoot or wore conductive natural material on their feet, that enabled
the conduction of electrons to pass between  the ground and the feet. According to the theory, by simply allowing our skin to touch the Earth we become electrically grounded; meaning the difference in electrical
potential between our bodies and and the ground, can be neutralized. Over time our body with all it's water
can build up a positive charge. This is because the atmosphere is positively charged while the Earth is negatively charged. We can discharge or ground and become neutral, when we touch the ground and allow electrons to move throught us from the Earth.

A review article from the Journal of Environment and Public Health by Gaetan Chevalier, Stephen T. Sinatra, James L. Oschman, Karol Sokal and Pawal Sokal state in the abstract that , "this disconnect (not touching the earth) may be a major contributor to physiological dysfunction and unwellness. Reconnection with the Earth's electrons has been found to promote intriguing physiological changes and subjective reports of well-being."
This article discusses how electrons act as anti-oxidants and as anti-inflammatory agents.

"Reduction in inflammation as a result of Earthing has been documented with infrared medical imaging and with measurements of blood chemistry and white blood cell counts."

 The American Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System has received notifications of  27,023 adverse events and 68 deaths to the HPV vaccine as of  9-30-13.

In India following administration of  the HPV vaccine 7 children died and 120 suffered debilitating side effects so bad that the trial was stopped following protests from parents, doctors & public health org. 

 In green olives oleuropein the most abundant polyphenol compromises up to 14% and also in leaves and seeds.  This phytochemical is often removed from olive oil to reduce it's bitter aftertaste.  As fruit matures, oleuropein reduces to yielding  hydroxytyrosol.  Oleuropein has been found to help in the reduction of coronary heart disease, cancers and for it's anti-biotic activity in H pylori, which makes it helpful for peptic ulcers and gastric type cancers. 

 Avocados  are one of the highest in glutathione, a most potent detoxifier for the liver.  It is also great for lowering cholesterol. The seed has the greatest artery scrubbing power and contains over 100 types of listed phytochemicals.
There are many anti-cancer substances in one big seed.  Avocado seeds may improve hyper-cholesterolmia and be useful in treatment of hypertension, inflammatory conditions and diabetes.  Avocado seeds are found to possess insecticidal, fungicidal, and anti-microbial activities.  Simply blend one seed in smoothies in 3 horsepower blender.  Getting that 3 horsepower blender is the challenge. But one can also get a mallet and smash the seed to mush.
 Lutein in avocados is far less abundant then spinach, but is more bioavailable due to lutein being only fat-soluble. 

   It is summertime and the flees are out and biting. Here are somesuggestions to help with this problem
  There is pure lavender oil which seems to work for a lot of people but it drives the flees away. It doesn't kill them.
 There are homeopathic formula remedies like one called Flee Free, where you put a few drops in their water. I know people who swear by it but you have to remember to put it in their water everyday.
 There are herbal formulas that may or may not work you can look up.
 There is borax that does work but people worry that it is toxic but the one I have used was pure boron and it worked and I had a 80 pound dog
that lived in good health and good quality of life into his 17th year. The borax got rid of the flees in the yard and bushes and never caused any harm to the greenery.
 Last but not least is Pine tar soap. Yes I know what you are thinking that it probably smells bad and it smells like a pine cleaner. Well I found one that doesn't smell bad and seems to work well even if you just wash their paws and belly with it. I like the Grandpa's brand because it's smell is mild and I tried others and couldn't take the smell. I also like to use it when my dog gets a rash on it's belly from dragging herself through the grass. It seems to calm the rash and clear it right up. I have made solutions with it and sprayed my cat's bed and that prevented and gotten   rid of any fleas and itching she was having. Pine tar soap can be bought at health food stores or on line. It has been used successfully by people, I here, for lice and skin rashes of all kinds.
Hope this information helps so you don't have to use the harsh pesticides that you place on the back of the neck of your pet which I have noticed years later is where horrible tumors and sores appear and then spread over the whole body of the poor animal. The vets have nothing for that and it is a miserable and difficult thing to go through and witness.  

 Sulphur foods that cause a raise in cysteine levels and cause excess thiols can make a person with mercury poisoning feel worse. They may feel tired, spacey and depressed after eating these foods while before they were fine. They may also eat these foods often so they never really feel good and energized. They are not necessarily allergic to these foods it is the thiols that cause the problems. Taking Glutathione may help. The major foods to avoid are baked products containing whey and/or cysteine. Also soy, broccoli, buckwheat, butter, cabbage, cheese of all kinds, chives, chocolate, coffee, dairy, eggs, garlic, lentils, onions, peanuts peas, and yeast extract should be avoided. This is a basic list. Try to avoid these foods for a week to see if you feel better.  

 Capers have unique- phytochemicals that quenches free radicals in special ways.  There is a statistically significant protection from gastrointestinal cancer observed in people who eat a lot of capers and onions. The unique-phytochemicals have shown to inhibit tumor growth and prevents prostate cancer as a chemopreventive.The phytochemicals found in high quantity in capers have also shown to help with weight loss. In another study they found that it inhibits breast cancer cell proliferation by inhibiting glucose uptake. Capers are useful to treat skin redness, irritation and pimples. University of Maryland scientists say the nutrients in capers helps allergies, asthma, and hives. They act like an anti-histamine stabilizing cells that realease histamine. Worth putting a few in your food a day.  

 Food scientist Massimo Marcone exhaustively reviewed more than 200 studies of “aphrodisiacs,” and found many dangerous, and nearly all useless.  One rare exception? Saffron—an aphrodisiac, for real.

Saffron, the delicate, minute stigma of the spring-heralding crocus flower, has been used for centuries, and to this day, in spice, tea, bath additive, or paste form:

• As an anti-depressant
• To slow the spread of some cancers
• As a sleep aid
• To reduce blood pressure and arterial pressure
• To increase antioxidant levels
• To slow development of Alzheimer’s disease
• To relieve an uneasy digestive system
• To help prevent age-related macular degeneration
• To relieve menstrual cramps and PMS
• To reverse memory loss and neurological disorders.

 So it also:
• Boosts your immune system
• Builds your libido
• Lowers blood pressure
• Lowers men’s prostate risks
• Relieves pain
• Decreases risks to heart health
• Improves sleep
• Reduces stress 

 Research by James D'Adamo, MD., and his son, Peter D'Adamo examines how different blood types relate to the body's chemistry, diet, and disease susceptibility.
The research has identified cell-type markers that are unique to each individual. These markers can be matched a similar food markers that are compatible to you.
Type O
People with type O have high level of stomach acids and thrive on high-protein diets of fish, animal meats and poultry. Type O ancestors were the first humans and had no exposure to dairy, grains, (Gluten) and consequently , modern Type O's lack the digestive enzymes to digest these newer foods.   46% of Americans have type O blood.
Type A
This is the second oldest blood type and emerged as the wild meat supply dwindled and agriculture first appeared. These people have lower levels of hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes than type O's and find it hard to digest protein and can have difficulty with dairy products. Type A's thrives on vegetables, eggs, fruits, nuts, and seeds and do poorly on any form of wheat and certain seafood - shrimp or lobster. 

 Type A is found in 42% of Caucasian Americans and 27% of Black Americans.
Type B
This type less than 10 thousand years old - appeared after domestic grains were introduced into the human diet, so people with this blood type are well-adjusted to large amounts of dairy, animal protein and grains. The first type B were nomads from central asia and eastern Europe and were know for their longevity, which they claimed was due to their devotion to yogurt. Olives, olive oil, and feta cheeses are typical foods in their diets. Pineapple is good for their lack of digestive enzymes. Only 10% of Caucasians and 20% of Black Americans are typical type B.
Type AB
The most recent blood type-within the last one thousand years. This type is best adjusted to newer dietary food groups such as grains, dairy, vegetables and fruits. Digesting and metabolizing meats is a problem because of insufficient stomach acid. Daily use of an antioxidant is important as well as an alkaline diet. Light exercise and increased relaxation suits this group best.
Only 2% to 5% of the population has the AB blood type. 

 Green Tea and Mate - the news is mostly good. Cardiovascular benefits of green and white tea have been extensively researched with more than 1,000 studies. They are an affordable way to prevent oxidative based disease. The caffeine in tea boosts adrenaline and mental focus. For people with low blood pressure it can be balancing, but for people with high blood pressure it is suggested to avoid entirely. Caffeine has a dehydrating effect and should be avoided by pregnant women. They have tannic acid  and tannins are too large for some people to digest. They have a high number of double electron bonds which bestow  them a strong property to attract metals such as Iron, Zinc and copper. Large tannins are strong inhibitors for the gastrointestinal absorption of metals and are digestive enzyme inhibitors. I suggest avoiding green tea during meal times and enjoy it between meals so they don't decrease nutrient intake.
