General	Diseases That Show Up In Your Fingernails: Our fingernails are a window into our bodies' health. Changes in the look, shape, or color of our finger nails may indicate a disorder or a disease somewhere in our body. This, long before a diagnosis is ever made. Our fingernails are made up of protein, keratin and sulfur. They grow about .05 to 1.2 millimeters a week. Nail differences or abnormalities are often the outcome of nutritional deficiencies or disorders. Seek medical attention if any of the following symptoms are suspected: White fingernails with pink near the tops are a sign of cirrhosis of the liver. Moreover, when the entire nail is white it could mean kidney or liver disorders or anemia. White lines across the nail may also indicate liver disease. A half white nail with dark spots on the tip could indicate a kidney disorder. Abnormally thick nails might be due to lack of circulation. They scream: GINKGO CAN! GINKGO CAN! No. Honestly, take it seriously. Yellow nails can mean there are problems with your liver, diabetes, respiratory disorders or problems with the lymphatic system. Yellow nails may occur many years before the disorder is diagnosed. Dark nails that are flat and/or thin are a sign of vitamin B(12) deficiency. In this circumstance, the nail may be spoon shaped. Brittle nails are a sign of iron deficiency and thyroid problems. You may have impaired kidneys or problems with circulation. Nails that are very bendable could be a sign of rheumatoid arthritis. Pitted brown spots or split fingernail tips may mean you have psoriasis. Very deep blue nail beds may indicate pulmonary obstruction or emphysema. Nails that crack, peel and chip easily mean you need more protein and minerals in your diet. Brittle, soft nails with a shine and no moon may indicate an overactive thyroid. Nails that separate from the nail bed could also indicate a thyroid disorder. Ridges in the nail could mean an infection, or thyroid disorder. Nails that are like a bumpy road can indicate a thyroid disorder too. Nails that resemble hammered brass indicate a tendency toward partial or total hair loss. Nail bending is a sign of rheumatoid arthritis. Flat nails may indicate Raynaud’s disease. This disease affects the circulatory system, which in turn affects the limbs. It renders hands and feet continually cold. Unusually wide nails that are square can mean a hormonal disorder. Red skin at the very bottom of your nail bed could indicate a connective tissue disorder. Changes in your fingernails may signify disorders somewhere else in your body, so pay close attention to your fingernails and those of your loved ones. It is recommended you research these nail occurrences, yourself. Understand what nail symptoms may indicate, how to remedy the imbalance causing disorder and continually maintain your health. FYI: Lunulu aka white moons are a normal occurrence. Someone questioned me about this, recently.

As a cardiac stimulant, black cohosh root slightly depresses the heart rate while it increases the force of the pulse and equalizes circulation. It is a valuable emmenagogue in pelvic disturbances and uterine troubles as it effectively contracts the uterus and increases the menstrual flow. Black cohosh has a strong effect on the muscular system, and is used for various forms of rheumatism, arthritis, and neuralgia. It is a viable expectorant for acute chronic pulmonary and bronchial problems. Black cohosh exerts a tonic influence over the mucous and serous tissues, stimulating the secretions of the liver, kidneys and lymph. It also aids digestion. In parturition, black cohosh is helpful in initiating uterine contractions, checking hemorrhage and allaying the nervousness and after pains of delivery. Medicinal uses: Insomnia, headache (back of the head, at the base of the brain), rheumatism, chorea, amenorrhea, dysmenorrheal, subinvolution, spinal irritation, pelvic disturbances, uterine troubles, apoplexy, eruptive diseases (smallpox, etc.), whooping cough, cholera, periodical convulsive fits, epilepsy, nervous excitability, asthma, tremors of delirium, spasmodic affections, consumption, cough, scrofula, neuralgia, hysteria, fatty heat, acute and chronic bronchitis, phthisis, dyspepsia, uterine hemorrhage, rheumatoid arthritis, lumbago, peritonitis, seminal emissions, nerve inflammation, ulcers, dropsy, spinal meningitis, liver and kidney troubles, poisonous insect and snake bites. Menopause: http://www.thorne.com/pdf/journal/8-2/mono_cimicifuga_racemosa8-2.pdf Preparation: Fluid extract, infusion, powder, solid extract, syrup and tincture. Dosage: Black cohosh is a very potent agent and an overdose will produce nausea and vomiting. SAW PALMETTO: Native to North America, Saw Palmetto berries are used for the treatment of various urinary problems in men, and for breast disorders in women. This plant is reported to exert an antiestrogenic effect, which some researchers say could be more important than any of it other actions. It does have antiandrogenic, anti-inflammatory, aphrodisiac, expectorant, immune stimulant, and urinary antiseptic effects as well. Some investigators believe that its antiestrogenic effect may be more important than any of its other actions. Saw Palmetto is mainly used for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. An enlarged prostate (BPH) is thought to be caused by an increase in the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the prostate and this herb inhibits that conversion. Saw Palmetto also works synergistically with zinc and essential fatty acids. Saw Palmetto Uses & Scientific Evidence For Today Germany's Commission E recommends Saw Palmetto as an accepted medical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). New Zealand, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, as well as other European countries, use Saw Palmetto and is regarded as the gold standard against which new prostate drugs must prove themselves. Saw Palmetto does not just relieve symptoms, but it actually has been shown to shrink and retard the enlarged prostate. It is also used for treating prostatitis (prostate infection). Using Saw Palmetto may also enhance sexual functioning and sexual desire. Due to its inhibiting the conversion of testosterone it may also inhibit hair loss. It is also used to treat acne, bladder inflammation, breast enlargement or reduction, bronchitis, cough, diabetes, digestive aid, diarrhea, high blood pressure, hormone imbalances (estrogen or testosterone), impotence, indigestion, menstrual pain, migraine headache, muscle or intestinal spasms, ovarian cysts, pelvic pain, polycystic ovarian syndrome, postnasal drip, and uterine or vaginal disorders. Saw Palmetto Safety & Interaction Information Saw Palmetto comes in various forms and is an ingredient in many products. The recommended dosage of Saw Palmetto is 160 mg twice a day of an extract standardized to contain 85 to 95atty acids and sterols; however, a single dose of 320 mg seems to be just as effective. Taking more than the recommended dose does not produce better results. At recommended dosage levels, Saw Palmetto is considered safe. There can be slight effects such as headaches or gastrointestinal complaints if taken on an empty stomach. Because of possible hormonal activity, this herb is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. Saw Palmetto may interfere with birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy in women. Because this herb may have activity on the body's response to estrogen, the effects of other agents believed to have estrogen-like properties may be altered. Possible examples include alfalfa, black cohosh, bloodroot, burdock, hops, kudzu, licorice, pomegranate, red clover, thyme, white horehound, and yucca (hint). DONG QUAI: Dong Quai has been called the "female ginseng" and is an excellent women's herb. It has been used for centuries in China for maintaining a healthy menstrual cycle. Dong Quai can help to build blood, maintain bowel regularity, relieve dryness, and improve general well-being. Dong Quai also helps to lower blood pressure and improves blood flow throughout the body. Dong Quai (sometimes referred to as Tang Kuai) has been used in Asia for thousands of years as a tonic for the female reproductive system. In fact, it ranks just below ginseng as the most popular herb in China and Japan. How does Dong Quai work? Most of the actions of Dong Quai depend on the presence of coumarins, phytosterols, polysaccharides and flavonoids. Dong Quai helps to promote uterine health and regulate the menstrual cycle. Coumarins dilate blood vessels, stimulating the central nervous system and increasing blood flow throughout the body. They may also relax the smooth muscles of the uterus, which would help to explain the herb's traditional use for menstrual cramps. Dong Quai is known as a beauty tonic. The herb has been found to benefit the complexion by improving circulation in the skin and by detoxifying, thus helping to clear blemishes. Dong Quai has also shown an inhibitory effect against many bacteria including hemolytic Streptoccoccus and Shigella. It has a mild sedative effect, and a pain relieving effect. Health and beauty benefits of Dong Quai: In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dong Quai has been used to help balance Blood and Chi in the body. In TCM, where there is an obstruction of Blood, there can be dis-ease and Dong Quai works to restore balance. Dong Quai helps skin tone as it enriches the blood and improves circulation. Dong Quai is an important herb for women whose skin is sallow, dry and lacking a healthy glow. Astragalus is often used in combination with Dong Quai to further improve the circulation of Chi and blood in the skin making it more supple and healthy. Dong Quai's reputation as a female tonic rests largely with its ability to reduce the symptoms of PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and regulate the menstrual cycle and for its benefit to the skin and circulation. The herb's long-standing popularity for reducing menstrual cramps has been ascribed to its anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic actionsDong Quai works best for stressed women who suffer hot flashes but are generally chilly. Dong Quai will help warm the woman and also help support the liver. Dong Quai also helps to counter fatigue, and lower blood pressure. It is a rich source of vitamin B12. It may therefore indirectly boost energy and lessen fatigue by increasing the number of red blood cells transporting oxygen throughout the body. Check the contraindications in the use of Dong Quai. GINKGO BILOBA: Ginkgo biloba extract has been used for centuries as part of the ancient Chinese pharmacopoeia in the treatment of respiratory ailments, cognitive impairment, and circulatory disorders. In recent years, Ginkgo has gained great worldwide acceptance for treatment of a number of medical conditions including tinnitus, cognitive decline in dementia, intermittent claudication, asthma, macular degeneration and, most recently, antidepressant induced sexual dysfunction. DAMIANA: Damiana (Turnera diffusa) is reported to be an aphrodisiac, stimulant, mood elevator, and "tonic," and has been in use in the United States since 1874. Despite a paucity of research, it has reported testosterogenic activity, which may account for its traditional use by the Mayan people of Central America for enhancing sexual function in men and women. POTENCYWOOD: Also known as Muira puama or the Latin Liriosma ovata, potency wood is a shrub that has been used in South American folk medicine for treating decreased libido and erectile dysfunction. We have found mention of a French clinical study in 1990 in which Muira puama extract improved libido in 62f patients with lack of sexual desire. However, numerous citation database searches on Medline, Biosis, and others have not identified such a study, and few other data seem to be available on this plant. (LIKELY, THEY ARE NOT SEARCHING FOR IT UNDER THE RIGHT NAME. See: Brazilian Catuaba Bark, below.) YOHIMBE: Derived from the bark of the yohimbe tree (Pausinystalia yohimbe), Yohimbine's primary action is to increase blood flow to erectile tissue, and is FDA approved for treating male erectile dysfunction. Although several studies have demonstrated some efficacy in men, there are relatively few clinical trials including women. However, Gitlin reports that Yohimbine has been found to diminish ASD in men and women. It can cause increased levels of anxiety and agitation, and the Physician's Desk Reference suggests that patients with psychiatric disorders should not use this product. This opinion has been challenged by Gitlin, as there seems to be little evidence to support the statement. Jacobsen suggests that this contraindication "appears to be based upon concerns of potentially adverse cholinergic and adrenergic interactive effects that may more commonly occur with the tricyclic antidepressants." Except in some cases of noncompliance from its side effects, Yohimbine has been used successfully to treat ASD. Side effects may include hypertension, headache, increased heart rate, dizziness, urinary urgency and sweating. Dosages range from 5.4 milligram tablets once to three times daily. PYGEUM: Pygeum africanum is a large evergreen tree found in central and southern Africa. The extracts from the pygeum bark contain several compounds helpful in prostate health. Pygeum extracts have been used for more than 30 years in France, Germany, and Austria for patients suffering with prostate enlargement. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a nonmalignant enlargement of the prostate that occurs in most men over 60, can lead to urinary frequency and nocturia (waking up at night to go to the bathroom). BEE POLLEN: Bee pollen is a dense source of protein and is considered to be a complete food. It is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, protein, amino acids, hormones, enzymes and fats. It has long been used to increase energy and mental alertness, slow down the aging process and retain youthful energy. It is frequently taken by athletes to increase performance levels. Brazilian Catuaba Bark (Juniperis brasilinsis): Actions: Aphrodisiac, nervine, tonic. Common Use: The historic traditional use of this herbal tonic is legendary. Many say it is the most famous of all the Brazilian aphrodisiac plants. It is a strong tonic and nervous system fortifier. It is known for its general capability of giving strength and relieving fatigue. The effect is pronounced in men, especially as a libido enlivener. Many songs praising its wonders have been sung by the Brazilian Indians. It is often used in combination with Muira Puama for tonifying the male sexual and urinary organs, specifically as an aphrodisiac and for impotence. It has reported benefits in relieving insomnia from hypertension, restless sleeping patterns, and even in helping to arrest failing memory. There is a saying in South America that says, " Until a father is 60, the son is his; after that the son is Catuaba's." It is said that regular consumption of Catuaba bark over a period of time leads first to erotic dreams, which are later followed by increased libido. Catuaba is considered an "innocent" aphrodisiac, meaning no adverse side effects have been reported in its use. Peruvian Maca Root (Lepidium Meyenii): Actions: Nutritive, Aphrodisiac, Tonic, Adaptogen Common Use: Peruvian Maca root, or Amazon Ginseng as it is sometimes referred to, is a vegetable root or tuber, related to the potato and the Mexican Wild Yam. Maca root has been used by the native Peruvians since before the time of the Incas for both its nutritional and medicinal properties. It contains significant amounts of amino acids, complex carbohydrates, vitamins B1, B2, B12, C and E and minerals, including calcium, phosphorus, zinc, magnesium and iron. This herb has been traditionally used to increase energy, vitality, stamina and endurance in athletes, promote mental clarity, as an aphrodisiac for both men and women, for male impotence, menstrual irregularities and female hormone imbalances, including menopause. Due to the number of steroidal glycosides present in Maca root it is gaining popualrity amongst weight lifters and body builders as a natural alternative to anabolic steroids. 20 to 45 drops 2-3 times daily. Not recommended if nursing or pregnant. ROYAL JELLY: This light colored, highly nutritious, gelatinous substance is what bees make and use to stimulate the growth and development of larvae chosen to be queen bees, who feed exclusively on royal jelly. As a nutritional supplement it is taken to prolong youth, increase longevity, boost energy levels, support the adrenal glands, help in weight loss programs, combat fatigue and boost performance. Royal Jelly is a rich source of complete protein, containing all essential amino acids, certain fatty acids, enzymes, minerals and B vitamins, especially pantothenic acid, which is helpful for many metabolic processes. Chinese Schizandra Berry (Schizandra Chinensis) Actions: Tonic, adaptogen, aphrodisiac, mild stimulant, deep immune activator, antioxidant. Common Use: Schizandra fruits or berries contain various lignans, mainly schizandrins, these lignans have been found to prevent liver damage, stimulate liver repair, and stimulate normal liver functioning. These properties appear to be related to the various antioxidant abilities of the various schizandrins. Schizandra also helps in digestion, regulating gastric acid release. Other studies have shown that extracts of schizandra are stimulating to the central nervous system and are cholinergic. There have been numerous reports on schizandra's ability to quicken reflexes, increase work efficiency, control anger and combat neurasthenias (headaches, insomnia, dizziness, palpitations). Other reports have mentioned increased cognitive function and increased memory. A recent study concluded that schizandra may be a useful herb to reverse depression, particularly that due to adrenergic exhaustion. Recent research studies have indicated that schizandra has numerous biological activities, including: anti-bacterial, mild stimulant, liver protective, anti-depressant, antioxidant, adaptogen and cardiac tonic. In Oriental Medicine, schizandra is recommended for the lungs, liver and kidneys, including as an aphrodisiac. Schizandra is also a registered medicine in Russia for vision problems since the herb has been found to prevent eye fatigue and increase acuity. Indian Sida Cordifolia (Sida Cordifolia) Actions: Circulatory stimulant, vasodilator, aphrodisiac, CNS stimulant. Common Uses: Sida Cordifolia or Country Mallow as it is often referred, is considered a very valuable herb in Ayurveda. It is popular amongst Ayurvedic physicians as an antipyretic in febrile and infectious diseases and also as an aphrodisiac. Sida Cordifolia contains ephedrine alkaloids common to the Chinese plant Ma-Huang but in lesser quantities. It is considered a weaker cardiovascular and nervous system stimulant than Ma-Huang and it contains other broncodilating properties which are not found in Ma-Huang. 10 to 25 drops twice daily or as needed. Not recommended if nursing or pregnant.Vitamins, Minerals, and Trace Elements - all are important especially B-complex, folic acid, selenium, manganese, and zinc Antioxidants - coenzyme Q10, vitamin C, selenium, grape seed extract Essential Fatty Acids - omega-3 (DHA and EPA), omega-6 (GLA); THE DANGERS OF PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS: FOR NOW, I'LL ONLY SAY THEY LEAVE YOU SEXLESS.

Understanding The Basics of Nutrition

The Patient with Job's Tears and the Wisdom of Solomon's Song:

Monday, May 22, 2006

This section is under construction.

JOB'S TEARS:

Inhibits the growth of and kills cancer cells.  The seeds strengthen the spleen and are used for edema, diarrhea, rheumatoid arthritis and difficult urination. This herb is added to medicinal formulas to regulate fluid retention and counteract inflammation. It is very good for all conditions and diseases associated with edema and inflammation, including phlegm,  rheumatic and arthritic conditions or abscesses of either the lungs or the intestines.

A tea from the boiled seeds is consumed as part of a treatment to cure warts. It is also used in the treatment of  lobar pneumonia, appendicitis, rheumatoid arthritis, beriberi, and difficult urination.  The roots have been used in the treatment of menstrual disorders. The FDA has approved testing for it's use in new cancer therapies.

Currently going through testing, the Kanglaite Injection is a new effective diphasic anti-cancer medicine prepared by extracting with modern technology the active anti-cancer component from the Coix Seed, to form an advanced dosage form for intravenous and intra- arterial perfusion.

It has been proven experimentally and clinically that the Kanglaite Injection has a broad spectrum of anti-tumor and anti-metastasis action in hepatic cancer and pulmonary cancer, along with the action of enhancing host immunity.

The Kanglaite Injection can reduce the toxicity of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, relieve cancerous pain, improve cachexia, and raise the quality of life in advanced cancer victims. As a fat emulsion, the Kanglaite Injection can provide patients with high-energy nutrients with little toxicity.

Some of the latest research also shows that Job's tears is immunostimulating, induces interferon, bronchodialates, lowers blood sugar; reduces muscle spasms and is an anti-convulsant. Job's Tears Stimulates respiration in small doses and inhibits it in higher doses; reduces arterial plaque. Also called: Adlay, Chinese Pearl Barley, Coix lacryma-jobi.

Loaded with B vitamins, calcium, Iron, zinc, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus,  plus MANY other vitamins, minerals and constituents.

Note: Whenever the FDA approves a food for study in the creation of new drugs, you can bet the cost of the extract taken from a whole food will become astronomical.  Buy the chinese pearl barley.  Eat it for breakfast in the morning.

WORMWOOD:

Expels roundworms, aids in weak digestion, tonic, anthelmintic (vermifuge, antiparasitic), nervine, counteracts the effects of poisonous plants, anti-inflammatory, anti-bilious, a source of the malaria drug artemisinin (also called artemesin). Wormwood is used for all problems within the digestive system, as well as liver and bladder ailments.  The dried leaves are placed in the sleeping pillows of cats and dogs to repel fleas and ticks. Wormwood can be habit-forming. It is not recommended for long term use.

It promotes menstruation and will help with menstrual cramps. Other traditional uses include treating liver problems, joint pain, digestive discomfort, loss of appetite, insomnia, epilepsy.  The leaves and flowers, and the essential oil extracted from them are the parts used medicinally.

Also used in the treatment of dyspepsia, esophageal reflux and irritable bowel syndrome.

Other: Called Absinthe, Absinthium, and Madderwort, Artemisia Annua, Artemisia Absinthium, Silver King Artemisia, Ajenjo, Old Woman, Sweet Annie, et cetera.

BLACK WALNUT:

Rids the body of internal parasites, good for ringworm, herpes and impetigo, anthelmintic, destroys worms and parasites, alterative, anti-fungal, helps in killing warts, burns up excessive toxins and fatty material while it helps balance sugar levels, treats valley fever and candida albicans (yeast infections),  used to treat dysentery, plus MUCH MUCH MORE.

Other:  Folic acid, Magnesium, Potassium, Chromium, Iron, Protein, Vitamin C,

Also called: Juglans nigra

PUMPKIN SEEDS:

Very efficient in expelling both tape and round worms, rich source of zinc and magnesium.
 
HYSSOP:

Anthelmintic, effective in riding the body of worms, strengthens the immune system, tonic, spoken about in the bible and my start to the study of medicinal herbs.

POMEGRANATE:

Parts used are the rind, bark and root, specific remedy for tape worm infestation.

BLUE VERVAIN:

Will often expel worms when nothing else works, anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic.

SENNA LEAF:

A mild and effective laxative, excellent for expelling worms, works best when combined with other anthelmintic herbs, effectively cleanses the elimination system, vermifuge.

CHAPARRAL:

Blood cleanser, cleanse the lower bowel, tones peristaltic muscles, tones up the system and rebuilds the tissue, works fast for difficult conditions, strong antioxidant and pain-killer.

BAYBERRY BARK:

Stimulant, tonic, astringent, tones up digestion, loosens phlegm and helps dispel it from the body, helps stop internal hemorrhage, loosens obstructions in the intestinal tract.

BROCCOLI:

Among other things, broccoli has relatively high concentrations of sulforaphane, a compound that turns on detoxifying enzymes in the body (SN: 3/21/92, p. 183). Indeed, over the past few years researchers at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore have demonstrated that in animals exposed to chemical carcinogens, diets rich in sulforaphane dramatically cut cancer development.

TANSY:

Used for expelling worms, tonic, stimulant. Treats dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation). When used with lobelia, treats tetanus in absence of medical help. Tansy is a powerful herb that should be avoided or used only under strict medical supervision.

GARLIC:

Whole books have been written about garlic, an herb affectionately called "the stinking rose" in light of its numerous therapeutic benefits. A member of the lily or Allium family, which also includes onions, garlic is rich in a variety of powerful sulfur-containing compounds including thiosulfinates (of which the best known compound is allicin), sulfoxides (among which the best known compound is alliin), and dithiins (in which the most researched compound is ajoene). While these compounds are responsible for garlic's characteristically pungent odor, they are also the source of many of its health-promoting effects. In addition, garlic is an excellent source of vitamin B6, and a very good source of vitamin C and the trace minerals, selenium and manganese.

CAT'S CLAW (Uncaria Tomentosa):

Old bile and undigested fats can line the intestine and block absorption of vital nutrients. Cat's Claw helps scrub the old material away, disrupting Candida and parasites, supporting healthy microflora and facilitating complete assimilation of nutrients and a more thorough disposal of toxins. Gradually, this helps promote digestion and reduces gas. Cat's Claw is wildcrafted from the Peruvian rainforests in a way which preserves the root stock and continued growth of the plant. The use of this slow-growing vine dates back to the ancient Inca. Medical studies in Austria, Italy, Germany, Hungary, England and Peru have explored it's unique phytonutrient values for promoting overall health, especially support of the immune system in its fight of cancer and viruses. It provides unique, previously unknown phytonutrients and synergistic combinations which support T-Lymphocytes and macrophages for a "pronounced enhancement of phagocytosis", the immune system's dissolving of invaders. It also exhibits support for antileukemic effects .. walls. The immune system seems better able to specifically target cellular mutations and inhibit their development. Studies of Cat's Claw are also yielding favorable reviews in regard to longevity, grey hair returning to original color, arthritis, sinus and ear infections, diabetes, Crohn's, leaky bowel syndrome, canker sores, allergies and asthma, cirrhosis, prostatitis, hemorrhoids, inflammations, ulcers, herpes and other viral infections. Cat's Claw delivers strong antioxidant protection from radiation and toxins.

GRAVIOLA:

In an 1976 plant screening program by the National Cancer Institute, graviola leaves and stem showed active toxicity against cancer cells and researchers have been following up on these findings since. Thus far, specific acetogenins in graviola and/or extracts of graviola have been reported to be selectively toxic in vitro to these types of tumor cells: lung carcinoma cell lines; human breast solid tumor lines; prostate adenocarcinoma; pancreatic carcinoma cell lines; colon adenocarcinoma cell lines; liver cancer cell lines; human lymphoma cell lines; and multi-drug resistant human breast adenocarcinoma. Researchers in Taiwan reported in 2003 that the main graviola acetogenin, annonacin, was highly toxic to ovarian, cervical, breast, bladder and skin cancer cell lines at very low dosages saying; "... annonacin is a promising anti-cancer agent and worthy of further animal studies and, we would hope, clinical trials."

SPIRULINA:

Phytonutrients for endurance, stamina and mental power. Chlorophyll for cleansing. A full spectrum of trace minerals from the sea. Carotenes, enzymatic pigments, essential fatty acids and sulfur-based phytonutrients support body's guarding against viruses and cancer. Balancing and energizing - for endurance & stamina. Considered a longevity food.

Spirulina has twice the B-12 content of liver, it has 25 times more carotene than carrots, it is aquatically cultivated and organically grown, it is 2 to 6 times higher in iron than beef liver, it contains more antioxidants than regular whole food, it has the highest protein content of any natural food (average 65%), it is easily digestible with all essential amino acids.
 
A full range of Amino Acids, Enzymatic Pigments, Chlorophyll (green), Phycocyanin (blue) & Carotenes (yellow, orange, brown), Sulfur-based Phytonutrients, numerous other Phytonutrients, Vitamins, Minerals & Trace Elements, Essential Fatty Acids including GLA & Omega-3, plus the long-energizing carbohydrate Rhamnose.

It contains a rich spectrum of available proteins and is the richest source of beta-carotene and mixed carotenoids in the world.

It is rich in GLA, important B complexes and natural vitamin E, along with Calcium, Iron and other essential chelated minerals and trace elements.

Spirulina is natures richest whole-food source of the entire anti-oxidant spectrum including: beta-carotene, vit. E, selenium, methionine, cysteine, super oxide dismutase, glutathionine Peroxides, copper, manganese, zinc, B-1, B-2, B-3, B-5, and B-6. It is the only source of phycocyanin, an immune stimulant.

Spirulina is nature's richest whole food source of biochelated organic iron. It's 58 times richer than raw spinach and 28 times richer than raw beef liver.

Spirulina is nature's richest source of vitamin E. It's 3 times higher than raw wheat germ, and its action in the body is 49% greater than that of synthetic vitamin E.

Spirulina is nature's richest source of beta-carotene (pro-vitamin A) it's 25 times higher than raw carrots!

Beta-carotene in Spirulina is completely non-toxic, even in mega doses.

Spirulina is nature's richest source of gamma linolenic acid (GLA). It's 3 times richer than evening primrose! The polyunsaturated oils in spirulina contain 21% GLA (GLA is the active ingredient in evening primrose oil - evening primrose oil contains up to 10% GLA.)

Spirulina is a rich whole food source of chlorophyll - equal to that of alfalfa or wheat-grass.

Spirulina is nature's richest whole-food source of complete protein.

CHLORELLA:

Japanese studies have shown chlorella's triple-layer cell wall to be absorbent of the toxic metals (mercury, cadmium and lead), facilitating their removal from the body. Other studies of chlorella show it helps build blood, boosts the immune system, has anticancer factors, and promotes stamina and healing. Promotes oxygenation and circulation in the extremities. Considered a gem of longevity foods due to CGF (chlorella growth factor) a unique facilitator of life at the core of the cell.

Chlorophyll, carotenes, enzymatic pigments, vitamins, minerals, EFAs, fiber, complete amino acids and germanium.

ORANGES:

Oranges CURE many kinds of cancer.  Yet, the way their reason has it, if you state something CURES cancer, that substance automatically becomes a drug. Therefore, others are allowed to call it a "prevention".  First, let's get real for a moment.  Second, what's the reason? -- And why, food or drug fuckstration???

PAU D'ARCO:

"Lapacho (also known as Pau D'Arco, Ipe Roxa, and Taheebo) is used in the alternative treatment of cancer, AIDS, and Candida Albicans overgrowth and fungal problems as well as other diseases of the immune system. Moreover, lapacho is highly valued for it's ability to detoxify the body, particularly, the liver, kidneys, and the intestinal tract. It also helps babies cope with food allergies, and intestinal cramps. Research on lapacho in South America claims that it helps reduce counter-reactions to antibiotics, allowing other medicines to work effectively in reducing the danger of toxic effects upon the liver. In other words, it can be used with other medicines and minimize their side effects."

ELECAMPAGNE:

Kings' describes it thus: "Elecampane is an aromatic stimulant and tonic and is said to be expectorant, emmenagogue, diuretic, and diaphoretic. It is much used in chronic pulmonary affections, weakness of the digestive organs, hepatic torpor, atonic dyspepsia, with flatus, and internally and externally in tetter, itch, and other cutaneous diseases. The alcoholic extract, combined with powdered extract of Liquorice, Benzoic acid, Sanguinaria and morphine, forms a lozenge or pill very valuable in chronic catarrhal, bronchial, and all pulmonary irritations. One drop of the oil of Stillingia may be added to eachlozenge for bronchial and laryngeal affections. Night-sweats are relieved by Inula, as are some cases of humid asthma, and by its tonic properties, it tends to sustain the strength of the patient in chronic disorders of the respiratory tract. Helenin is accredited with a fatal action upon the tubercle bacillus. Inula is somewhat slow in action, and should be used for quite a time to get its full action. That it is an important remedy in irritation of the trachea and bronchiae is now well established. It is adapted to cases with free and abundant expectoration, teasing cough and pain beneath the sternum, conditions frequent in la grippe and the severer forms of colds."

ROSEMARY:

The wonderful smell of rosemary is often associated with good food and great times. But it could just as easily be associated with good health. Rosemary contains substances that are useful for stimulating the immune system, increasing circulation, and improving digestion. Rosemary also contains anti-inflammatory compounds that may make it useful for reducing the severity of asthma attacks. In addition, rosemary has been shown to increase the blood flow to the head and brain, improving concentration. So, the next time you enhance the flavor of some special dish with rosemary, congratulate yourself for a wise as well as delicious choice.

SWEDISH BILBERRY (Huckleberry) Sweden (Vaccinium Myrtillus L.):

A source of 15 different anthocyanicides, pycnogenol-like substances. Provides nutritional building blocks for eyesight - especially night vision. Nutrients valuable for strengthening capillaries and protecting against varicose veins. Supports arterial health and optimal circulation. Super-synergist with vitamin C, pycnogenols and other bioflavonoids for synthesis of collagen and mucopolysaccharides, resulting in more firm & youthful connective tissue, producing smoother skin and solid general structural support. Also useful in eye strain, diabetic cataracts, easy bruising and bleeding gums.

Wintergreen Leaf (Gaultheria procumbens):  Wintergreen is strongly anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and soothing to the digestive system.  It is an effective remedy for rheumatic and arthritic problems and, taken as a tea, it relieves flatulence and colic. It reestablishes fundamental flow patterns.  It heals chronic mucus discharge.  It is diuretic and astringent but increases menses and lactation.  The essential oil, in the form of a liniment or ointment, brings relief to inflamed, swollen, or sore muscles, ligaments, and joints, and can also prove valuable in treating neurological conditions such as sciatica and trigeminal neuralgia.  The oil is sometimes used to treat cellulitis, a bacterial infection causing skin to become inflamed.  The Inuit of Labrador and other native peoples eat the berries raw, and use the leaves to treat headaches, aching muscles and sore throat. The methyl salicylate found in wintergreen leaves is closely related to salicylic acid.  Accordingly, the leaf tea is given for the same conditions treated by aspirin, such as colds, flu, fever, muscle pain, arthritis and rheumatism.  It has also been used to treat asthma and skin problems.  In contrast to aspirin, small amounts relieve stomach indigestion instead of causing it.  Native Americans chewed wintergreen leaves to improve their breathing while carrying loads or running and on long treks.  In some regions, Early American settlers had their children chew the roots for 6 weeks every spring to reduce tooth decay.  They also steeped the berries in brandy for a winter tonic.  It is a skin softener that will smooth rough, callused skin.  In liniments, it eases muscular, arthritic and rheumatic pains and is readily absorbed into skin.

Peppermint Leaf:

Self-Heal (Prunella vulgaris): All above-ground parts of the plant are useful. It can be used fresh, or dried for later use.  Make it into a tincture, an infusion, or an ointment for topical use.  Internally, selfheal has been used in Western medicine for hemorrhage and to decrease excessive menstruation.  Externally in Western medicine, used for minor injuries, sores, burns, bruises, sore throat, mouth inflammations, and hemorrhoids (whole plant).  The juice of a crushed stem or two will soothe nettle stings, minor bouts with poison ivy, insect bites and stings.  Because it contains the compound rosmarinic acid, it is used for treatment of Graves Disease as it helps suppress thyroid hormone production. Self-heal contains substances that are diuretic and act against tumors.  Lab tests indicate it may also be antibiotic, hypotensive and antimutagenic in action.  In making an oil infusion let the plants wilt for a full day to increase the shelf life of the oil.  Research: A 1993 Canadian study regarding HIV-1 found that a purified extract of Selfheal was able to significantly inhibit HIV-1 replication with very low toxicity.  The extract was able to inhibit HIV-1 in both lymph and blood.  Although prunellin was unable to prevent HIV-1 infection when cells were pretreated with the purified herbal extract, the virus’ ability to cause infection was dramatically decreased when it was saturated with prunellin.  The purified extract was also able to block cell-to-cell transmission of HIV-1.  Moreover, the extract was also able to interfere with the ability of HIV-1 to bind to CD4 cells. The researchers suggest that the purified extract antagonizes HIV-1 infection of susceptible cells by preventing viral attachment to the CD4 receptor.

Spearmint leaf(Mentha spicata): Spearmint is a commonly used domestic herbal remedy. A tea made from the leaves has traditionally been used in the treatment of fevers, headaches, digestive disorders and various minor ailments. The leaves should be harvested when the plant is just coming into flower, and can be dried for later use. The stems are macerated and used as a poultice on bruises.  Both the essential oil and the stems are used in remedies for cancer. A poultice prepared from the leaves is said to remedy tumors. Spearmint is still listed in the Hungarian Pharmacopoeia as a medicine.

Eucalyptus Oil:

Essential oils such as tea tree and eucalyptus oils have recently gained acceptance as safe and effective antiseptics.3 Their potent bactericidal activity has already been proven in in vitro and clinical trials.

In an animal study, topical eucalyptus oil enhanced the absorption of topical 5-fluorouracil, a medication used to treat cancer.

Research shows eucalyptus oil kills fungus found in humans.

Cayenne Pepper:

Cayenne pepper is one of nature's most healing and therapeutic foods.

Capsaicin is the most active ingredient in cayenne pepper and is used topically to treat everything from osteoarthritis to cancer.  Capsaicin contains other important ingredients such as carotenoids, vitamins A and C, and flavonoids.

According to the University of Maryland:

Native Americans have used cayenne (or red pepper) as both food and medicine for at least 9,000 years. The hot and spicy taste of cayenne pepper is primarily due to an ingredient known as capsaicin. Although it tastes hot, capsaicin actually stimulates a region of the brain that lowers body temperature.

Pain Control: Capsaicin in cayenne pepper has very powerful pain-relieving properties when applied to the surface of the skin.

One of the many benefits of Cayenne pepper is its ability to naturally kill parasites living in the accumulated waste of a colon.

Cumin (Powder):

Cumin is perhaps the most endowed of all spices in terms of health benefits.

Cumin seeds resemble caraway seeds, being oblong in shape, longitudinally ridged, and yellow-brown in color. This is not surprising as both cumin and caraway, as well as parsley and dill, belong to the same plant family (Umbelliferae).

Cumin seeds, whose scientific name is Cuminum cyminum, are a very good source of iron, a mineral that plays many vital roles in the body. Iron is an integral component of hemoglobin, which transports oxygen from the lungs to all body cells, and is also part of key enzyme systems for energy production and metabolism. Additionally, iron is instrumental in keeping your immune system healthy. Iron is particularly important for menstruating women, who lose iron each month during menses. Additionally, growing children and adolescents have increased needs for iron, as do women who are pregnant or lactating.

In one study, cumin was shown to protect laboratory animals from developing stomach or liver tumors. This cancer-protective effect may be due to cumin's potent free radical scavenging abilities as well as the ability it has shown to enhance the liver's detoxification enzymes. Yet, since free radical sca
