The kidneys also balance our body’s minerals, which are of paramount importance.

The kidneys’ key role is to detoxify and filter impurities from the blood. The kidneys help remove waste products, such as urea and creatinine, from the body. When the body breaks down protein (such as meat), urea and other wastes are made. 

Creatinine is a waste product of the muscles. As kidney function decreases, the levels of urea and creatinine in the blood increase. If you have high levels of urea or creatinine, it indicates that the kidneys are not functioning properly.

Some signs that you may have challenged kidney function are: 


1. Swelling in the lower legs or around the eyes.
2. Nausea or vomiting.
3. Shortness of breath.
4. Sleep problems.
5. Unexplained weight-loss.
6. Weakness or fatigue.
7. Dry, itchy skin.
8. Difficulty concentrating.
9. Urinating more or less than usual.

Kidney stones form when the kidneys are not able to process and excrete waste. When this happens, the excess minerals, and the toxins and crystals of unprocessed minerals begin to build-up. The hard lumps in the kidney are also called nephrolithiasis or renal stones. 

Kidney stones are made up of minerals that accumulate in the kidneys and form crystals. There are 4 types of hard crystals that can form, but kidney stones are primarily composed of calcium oxalate stones. Cysteine, uric acid, and struvite are common forms also, but they are less prevalent.

Kidney stones are a common health problem for many people, but men have a tendency to have 10% more kidney stones than women. When the stones pass from the kidneys into the urinary tract, this can cause a very sharp pain in your lower abdomen, back, side or groin, which can cause pain when you urinate, or nausea and vomiting, fever, and chills.

So, how do we prevent kidney stones?

First, avoid pharmaceutical drugs that can cause these stones to be formed.
The pharmaceutical drugs that can cause formation of kidney stones are: laxatives, some antibiotics, potassium-sparing diuretics (used for high blood pressure), potassium channel blockers (used to control heart rhythm and for multiple sclerosis), and sulfonylureas (used to treat type 2 diabetes).

Holistic remedies include eliminating refined sodium (white salt), packed processed, and fast foods. Overeating white salt, with no minerals, (which is primarily sodium), also increases the number of oxalates you’re consuming. Highly refined white salt in the diet can increase calcium levels in your urine, which can cause kidney stones to form.

Avoid high-oxalate foods. Overeating protein leads to the accumulation of oxalates in the blood and the kidneys, where they can form stones. Limit chicken, beef, pork, shellfish, and organ meats in the diet. Organ meats, like liver, are excellent sources of protein, but they contain high levels of oxalates.

Beets, rhubarb, cranberry, and full-grown spinach (baby spinach or spinach sprouts do not have have high oxalates) are high in oxalates.
Pure organic cranberry juice can be helpful to prevent urinary tract infections. But cranberries contain some oxalates. When manufacturers combine cranberry juice with sugar, it increases the oxalate value in each serving.

Avoid drinking sodas and/or using artificial sweeteners. Sodas contain high amounts of uric acid and oxalates, which lead to the formation of kidney stones. Sugar-free sodas and artificial sweeteners reduce kidney function, making it difficult for the organ to clear oxalates from the tissues.

When saturation of calcium oxalate in the blood become more elevated, the kidneys become overwhelmed, and this results in the kidney’s ineffectiveness to excrete all of the particles. The crystals that remain in the kidneys begin to form kidney stones. When this happens, symptoms like a throbbing pain in the middle of the lower-back begin.

Holistic Remedies for Kidney Stones are:

1. Lemon Juice, Olive Oil, and Raw Apple Cider Vinegar. The combination of lemon juice, olive oil, and raw apple cider vinegar is one of my favorites and, in my opinion, one of the most effective remedies for kidney stones and the discomfort they cause. 

At the first symptom of stone pain, (use all organic ingredients if possible), mix 2 ounces of olive oil with 2 ounces of lemon juice.
Drink it straight and follow with a 12-ounce glass of purified water. Wait 30 minutes. Then, squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon into 12 ounces of purified water, add one tablespoon of raw apple cider vinegar, and drink. Repeat the lemon juice, water and apple cider vinegar recipe every hour until symptoms improve.

2. Use the Global Healing Kidney Support Bundle to detoxify, flush, and purge the kidneys of built-up toxins. This bundle includes Plant-Based Kidney Health, our all-natural, kidney-support formula, Oxy-Powder to facilitate toxin removal, and Turmeric for antioxidant support. Along with colon and liver cleansing, it is one of the most essential cleansing protocols for your health!

3. Drink Dandelion Root Tea or take a dandelion root supplement. Dandelion root is a marvelous supplement that can help detoxify and cleanse the kidneys and support normal kidney function.[4] Taking up to 500 mg twice a day may be beneficial.

4.  Magnesium-rich foods like Kidney Beans can be used to make a tonic for cleansing the kidneys. 

Studies show that people with recurrent kidney stones who took magnesium supplements showed significant improvement in symptoms.
Try removing the beans from inside the pods, and then boil the pods in purified hot water for six hours. This liquid can be strained through cheese cloth, cooled and taken throughout the day for one day to ease kidney stone pain.

5. Drink some Horsetail Tea, which is a natural diuretic that helps flush excess water and uric acid from the kidneys. Drink up to 3-4 cups of horsetail tea daily or take 2 grams of the herb in capsule form daily.

6. Ingesting Pomegranates or Pomegranate Juice is very beneficial because of its “astringent with sour” properties, which help detoxify the blood and kidneys.

7. Add Celery to your diet. Celery and celery seeds are detoxifiers and excellent kidney tonics. Celery, including the seeds, is rich in vitamins and minerals, which include A, B-complex, C, iron, phosphorous, calcium, and many more essential micronutrients.
Adding organic celery and/or celery juice to your diet, or adding celery seed to your recipes may prevent kidney stone formation.

8. Basil Tea (Tulsi Tea or Holy basil) can help support the kidneys.
Basil or tulsi tea can be taken throughout the day for proper fluid, mineral, and uric acid balance. Basil has been found to be a potent adaptogen with other antimicrobial, antioxidant, and immune-enhancing properties. These components help to avoid oxidative damage.
If you have kidney stones, try taking one teaspoon of fresh basil juice with raw, unfiltered honey each day for one week to six months.

9. Drink Coconut Water, because it can dissolve kidney stones.
Organic coconut water is packed with electrolytes and minerals that can restore lost body fluids and help someone get more hydrated. This is vital because constant dehydration can lead to kidney stone formation.

When dehydrated, the urine volume that is produced can be highly acidic. There are some minerals that can settle in the urine as unbeneficial byproducts of metabolism, and they can find an acidic environment ideal for crystallization. This results in a gradual build-up of these crystals, eventually leading to the formation of solid stones.

I was told that a coconut water IV can also reverse a heat stroke, because it is extremely hydrating. Coconut water can also be used for blood transfusions when blood is not available .
There are many other health benefits that coconut water provides, including aiding in digestion and increasing your metabolism.

In closing, stay hydrated, avoid pharmaceutical drugs, try some of the remedy’s. Take good care of your kidneys, so they can take good care of you.

The post Diabetes, Cancer, Heart Disease, Autoimmune, and Autism Diseases appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

I have heart disease. I have learned that a vegetarian diet can reverse heart disease. I bought your book, “How To Be A Healthy Vegetarian” 2nd edition and I’m on a vegetarian diet .
I know I am doing much better thanks to your wonderful nutrition-packed cookbook, but my doctor still wants me to take statin drugs. I worry about taking those, because they have a lot of side effects.
I wondered if there are some new updates for supporting my health on a daily basis that might help me avoid using statins and also help my heart be healthier?

My Answer:

There is new research and information coming out all the time regarding the best way to take care of our health.

Recently, I’ve been discussing heart disease, cholesterol, and cancer with Dr. Stephanie Seneff (a senior research scientist at MIT) on my radio show, and I have learned something very important, which I am going to pass along to you and my Organic Healthy Life Family.

Dr. Seneff has studied extensively the correlation between heart disease, sulfur, and cholesterol. She told me that one of the most crucial things people can do for their overall health is to add sulfur-rich foods and liquids to their daily diet. This is particularly helpful for people with heart disease, cancer, diabetes, autism, and Alzheimer’s.

Mel Werbach, M.D., author of the Textbook of Nutritional Medicine (Third Line Press, 1999), sees sulfur as a blind spot in nutrition and medicine. (1)

“Here is an essential nutrient that no one sees as being that,” says Ronald M. Lawrence, M.D., Ph.D. “We don’t learn anything about sulfur in medical school. Sulfur has been the most understudied and overlooked nutrient.” (2)

“Sulfur-based amino acids and sulfur are the “glue” which not only form the matrix of our bones and joints but all of the cellular interlinking, which is the true cellular matrix not only of man but all living organisms, even water has a matrix.” (3)

Sulfur compounds are found in egg yolks, as well as organically-grown onion, garlic, and cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels Sprouts, watercress, radish, and leeks. In addition to foods, sulfur-rich mineral water is another source.

One of the easiest and most effective ways to add sulfur-rich food to your diet is to add cruciferous sprouts, especially broccoli sprouts.

Sprouts are the ultimate superfood and are rich in vitamins, minerals, and natural enzymes. Sprouts can contain all of the nutritional value of the whole plant in one little sprout!

When seeds are sprouted, they show an increase in enzymes, in content of certain essential amino acids, and in B Vitamins. Dr. Paul Talalay of the American Cancer Society said that broccoli sprouts are better for you than full-grown broccoli.(4)

Broccoli sprouts contain more of the enzyme sulforaphane,
(a form of sulfur) which helps protect cells and prevents their genes from turning into cancer.(5) Broccoli sprouts are an exceptionally rich source of inducers of enzymes that protect against chemical carcinogens.

According to research, Sulforaphane is a sulfur-containing food molecule that reverses aging, stops inflammation, kills cancer, protects the brain, and puts an end to cardiovascular disease.

While sulforaphane is found naturally in cruciferous vegetables, these vegetables must be prepared and eaten in the right way to maximize the bioavailability of sulforaphane. By this I mean eating them as a raw sprout, without heating them. Broccoli sprouts have much more sulforaphane than All Other Cruciferous Vegetables Combined.

You know how I am always saying it’s important to detoxify and have clean cells. Well, sulforaphane can really help the body with detoxification. Sulforaphane has been shown in studies to detoxify pesticides that are in our food.(6)

Studies have also shown that sulforaphane can help us detoxify from the polluted air we are breathing. The broccoli sprouts help detoxify 61% of benzene, which is a carcinogen.(7)

For anyone concerned with their weight or with diabetes, a study put mice on the Standard American Diet. The mice quickly became obese, with insulin resistance and very high cholesterol levels, and they developed atherosclerosis. (8)

What was most interesting about this study was that the mice that were given sulforaphane had their hunger hormone levels drop and they lost weight. The insulin metabolism of the mice
became normalized, their blood pressure and cholesterol levels dropped, and their atherosclerosis was reversed.(9)

New research is showing that sulforaphane may ultimately be the best anti-diabetes nutrient. “Sulfur is necessary in the production of insulin, as well as other sulfur-based amino acids necessary for the metabolism of carbohydrates.” (10)

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden enrolled 97 obese people with type 2 diabetes. They then randomized these people to either broccoli sprouts or a placebo.

After just 12 weeks, those people randomized to broccoli sprouts had blood sugar readings 10% lower than those randomized to a placebo. Probably the most positive part of this study is that the diabetics did not have any of the side effects that you would expect to see from a diabetes pharmaceutical drug. (11)

Dr. Stephanie Seneff’s research at MIT has shown her some important information concerning cholesterol. Many people worry about their cholesterol levels, but when you ingest sulfur-rich foods or get sunshine without sunscreen, the cholesterol joins together with the sulfur. This naturally lowers cholesterol and creates a marvelous healing combination.

While few people want to take a statin drug to reduce high cholesterol, one possible alternative could be broccoli sprouts. In one study, broccoli sprouts reduced LDL or bad cholesterol by 7%. (12)

If that isn’t enough to convince you to add some organic broccoli sprouts to your diet, another study found that sulforaphane is a powerful anti-inflammatory compound that helps reduce depression and anxiety. (13)

While there aren’t any good studies showing that sulforaphane treats depression and anxiety in humans, it certainly seems to help mice with their depression and anxiety. (14) This may help in these times as we try to handle the covid-19 pandemic situation and all the things involved.

Growing your own sprouts is easy. Anyone can do it, and the sprouts are ready to harvest in four days to a week. All you need are organic, non-GMO seeds, clean water, and a sieve or sprouting bag or jar.

An easier way is to order organically grown, raw, non-GMO Broccoli Sprout Powder from the Indoor Organic Gardens Of Poughkeepsie. They use non-chlorinated water to grow them in organic soil and dry them at room temperature.

This is a marvelous, ethical company that hires people who find it difficult to find work, such as autistic people. They also donate food to the elderly and children’s food programs. I have been to the facility and was extremely impressed with their work, their quality, and their product.

The broccoli powder can be added a few times a day to various meals such as smoothies, cereal, apple sauce, mashed potatoes, etc. It doesn’t have much taste, but it will add powerful nutrition to your food.

They also grow a lot of other types of organically grown sprouts that you can order and add to your salads, sandwiches, etc. They can overnight them to you, so they are super fresh.

Order your sprouts or raw broccoli sprout powder from the “Indoor Organic Gardens Of Poughkeepsie” and put “NANCY” in the code box and get a discount on your order.

I always stress that you should eat Organic, Non-GMO food for many reasons, but a main reason is that chemical fertilizers and pesticides destroy the sulfur and other fragile nutrients in the soil. Sulfur is only present in fresh organically-grown foods.

In the Sulfur Study in 1999, the research found that “Finland, alarmed over the increasing disease rate of its population, took a hard look at chemical fertilizers and banned all of them, fearing the levels of cadmium. They were not aware of the sulfur connection at the time. Since doing so, they have become a leading supplier of “Bio-Friendly” or completely organic foods in Europe. They have also seen their disease rates drop to one-tenth of the 1985 levels. In 1985, the U.S. was at the same marked disease level as Finland. Why are we not following suit and banning all chemical fertilizers? It appears that the epidemiology of those countries using chemical fertilizers have an increase in disease, while those that use organically-based fertilizing methods do not.”(15)

In addition to sulfur compounds, there is also stem cell therapy to help the body regenerate itself. New stem cells have the potential to mature within the blood system into various immune system cells that recognize and fight off different types of blood cancer as well as used to treat diseases such as lymphoma, leukemia, multiple myeloma, myocarditis, and neuroblastoma.

Dr. Betty Hamilton, MD, Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology said, “They also have the ability to heal.” Bone marrow transplants are currently used to treat diseases such as lymphoma, leukemia, multiple myeloma, and neuroblastoma.

You may be aware that other countries around the world are currently using stem cell therapy for treating heart disease, painful joints, back pain, arthritis, hair loss, diabetes, Crohn’s, MS, and other health challenges.

There are many studies that have been conducted using stem cell therapy, using blood, and petri dishes, which are then injected into the person wanting the stem cell therapy. This can be very costly and have unpredictable results. This is considered to be regenerative medicine.

This encompasses a new medical science, that involves the functional restoration of tissues or organs caused by severe injuries or chronic diseases. This technology has been shown to repair and restore the damaged tissue’s stem cell.

The common link between all of these trials is the ability of the stem cells to reduce inflammation and repair damage to your body.

I have been using a non-transdermal GHK-CU copper peptide activation therapy from the Lifewave Company for the past year.

I have recommended this therapy to many of my clients. This therapy can also be used on animals. This technology was originally created for the Navy Seals, because it improved strength and stamina, and provided pain relief.

This technology includes non-transdermal and non-invasive patches, which have also been approved for Olympic Athletes.

Along with the patch he created for the Navy Seals, he has since then created the X39 & X49 patches.

I have found them to be very positive in so many ways for myself and my clients. People are getting pain relief (especially from broken bones, old broken bone trauma, and wounds), better sleep, and greater energy. I understand that athletes like Serena Williams, wear them for improved performance and health.

The patches have crystals in them that reflect our infrared energy and activate our  GHK-CU copper peptide, by working with the same meridians in our body that acupuncture works on.

So, here are a few emergency remedies that may help you have a smooth sailing summer of fun!

What’s bugging you?

While summer is the optimal time for showing off toned skin and flaunting revealing fashions, it’s the absolute worst for bug bites, sunburns, and itchy rashes.

Whether it is a mosquito or beach fleas, some of these bites can be downright painful. They can also itch so much you almost want to scratch the skin off, which can create scars and wounds.

Stop skin blunders from ruining the way you feel or look with any of the following natural skin relief treatments.

Mosquitoes don’t normally sting through loose-fitting clothing, so this is a good preventative measure. Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors, while wasps and bees are attracted to light, bright, floral colors.

Non-Toxic, Anti Bug Bite Recipe

A bug bite deterrent that is easy to make yourself is made of a blend of one or more of the following ingredients.

Choose one or two of these organic essential oils (2 tsp. total oil):

Lavender essential oil

Myrrh essential oil

Rosemary essential oil

Lemon essential oil

1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol (you can buy this at a liquor store.) You could also use pure water, if you don’t have alcohol.

Directions:

Combine a total of 2 tsp. of essential oil and combine that with 1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol.

Place it in a bottle with a tight-fitting lid.

(You can also put it in a spray bottle to easily spray on before going outdoors.)

Shake well.

Test it on a small patch of skin first to make sure you are not sensitive to the oil and alcohol.

If you are ok with the test, use it on your skin to avoid bites.

If you are already bitten and you are itching and wanting to scratch the pain away, here are a few remedies.

1. Rub aloe vera (either freshly cut or from a bottle) on bites and stings to ease burning.
2. Get relief from itches by applying a few drops of lavender oil to the affected area as needed.

Once, I was bitten by some kind of small black bug or flea in Panama. It was absolutely miserable for at least a week. I thought it was never going to stop. I read that sometimes these bugs lay eggs in your skin. I also read that it could have been parasites.

Since I had been all over the jungle and visited wild animal rehabilitation places, I was not sure where I received all the bites, or if they were even all the same type of bug or flea bite. It seemed to get worse a few days later and it wasn’t stopping. I was overwhelmed with the itch and was getting quite desperate to find a natural remedy.

For the most extreme cases, where you can’t get the itching to stop, I have found that food grade hydrogen peroxide can be dabbed on the itching spots with a cotton swab or a cotton ball. This solution will kill any parasite that may be inside the skin, but also oxygenate and destroy any infection in the bite.

It can hurt and burn a lot, so I would apply the hydrogen peroxide immediately before getting into the shower to scrub with tea tree oil soap and a body brush. It was very effective and stopped the extreme itching. (I used a 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide, which is extremely strong compared to the 3% grade sold at the pharmacy).

You may need to do this each day, until you are sure it has stopped the itch, killed the parasite, or stopped the infection. With much relief, you can be on the road to healing.

I order food grade hydrogen peroxide through the internet. It is extremely strong. You will need to be very careful when handling this and keep it out of the reach of children. You may want to use normal over the counter (3% grade) hydrogen peroxide, but the food grade is much stronger (35%) for more extreme cases. You can water it down a bit, if it’s too strong for you.

Two brands I have purchased are: Oxygen Wellness Co. and Pure Health Discounts.

If the backbone is out of alignment, it can cause itching. If the atlas bone at the top of the spine is out of alignment, that can cause extreme itching in the upper arms. (Just on a side note, if the atlas bone is out of alignment, that can also be misdiagnosed as a stroke in elderly people and MS in younger people.)

I personally go regularly to my chiropractor to maintain my alignment. My chiropractor, Dr. Michael Hall, is also a neurologist, and he has treated me on a regular basis for over 15 years. Chiropractors all have different techniques, so find one that is best for you.

Poison Ivy or Poison Oak

Once I went with my husband to hike in the woods with our dog. Our dog was running around in the woods and got poison ivy on his fur. I was petting him and brushing off the sticker burrs, and unknowingly got the poison ivy from his fur. I used tea tree oil on the poison ivy and it was almost gone the next day. I used tea tree oil shampoo on the dog also.

A few years later, one of our house remodeling contractors had a terrible case of poison ivy. He had used cortisone, medicines from the doctor, and everything he could think of for more than four months. He was absolutely miserable. I gave him my tea tree oil to try.

The next day, he came back absolutely astounded at how well it had worked. His poison ivy was gone in a matter of days. Tea tree oil also works extremely well for poison oak and fire ant bites as well.

I use the tea tree oil on any itchy place, bite, or rash. It is especially good for bites that have a fluid in them. Tea tree oil has antibacterial properties. It is not supposed to be used on an open wound.

I used it on a large swollen bite my son had on his back. It was the middle of the night and we were staying in a remote hotel built into the side of a mountain in Greece, with no medical care nearby. I didn’t know what to do, so I kept putting tea tree oil on it. The next day, the swelling had gone down to half, then the next day it was almost gone. We were so thankful.

Another use for tea tree oil is for chickenpox. My son got chickenpox when he was four. He is a redhead and has very sensitive skin. I put tea tree oil directly on each spot all over his body. I thought it would help him not to itch or scratch. In the morning, his chickenpox outbreak was gone, with no scars, no itching, and no complications. It was amazing. His doctor was completely astonished, as was his preschool teacher. I have used it on just about everything ever since.

In my opinion, the New Zealand variety of tea tree oil smells better than the Australian type, but both work really well.

You can also use aloe vera leaf gel on the rash to soothe and promote healing.

Oatmeal baths are also good for calming us down, as well as calming the skin irritation.

If you go to the beach, a jellyfish sting can really hurt. If you have some lemon or limes, rub the cut fruit on the place that hurts. The citrus can help take the pain out.

Drinking carrot juice or eating carrots or sweet potatoes is a natural way to protect yourself from too much sun during summer. The beta-carotene in these vegetables gives the body some natural sun protection.

You can also wear thick clothing that covers your skin but doesn’t contain chemicals. Clothing treated with chemicals such as titanium or zinc oxide will break down in the wash, enter the water supply, and create hazards to the ecosystem.

So, whenever you are outside, get some natural Vitamin D, put on some natural bug protection, wear natural clothing to protect yourself from too much sun, eat beta-carotene-rich foods, and get into the shade if you feel you have been out too long. Enjoy your sunshine and fresh air!

I hope this helps make your summer adventures more enjoyable!

The post How To Obtain Optimum Health And Avoid Illness appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

When I was growing up, it was common for us to give our pets the leftovers from our table. They got broccoli, carrots, potatoes, some greens, and some fruits. Our animals lived very long, healthy lives and thrived on our fresh food. It was not uncommon for our pets to live well into their 20’s. These days, most pets are getting diabetes and/or cancer as young as 6 years old, and I believe it is a direct result of their diet.

As large companies began making manufactured pet foods,
both advertising and our veterinarians started recommending that we should not feed our table scraps to our pets. Now there were designated dog food and cat food specifically created to “maintain and promote health” in our pets.

When people started feeding their pets the manufactured pet food, pet illness went up. Was cheap meat and filler in processed food making our pets ill?

In 2006, at least 76 dogs died as a result of eating aflatoxin-contaminated pet foods. Aflatoxins come from a fungus that is found on corn and grains. Aflatoxins are toxins that primarily affect the liver. They are in a wide variety of pet foods. Dogs who consume 0.5 to 1 mg aflatoxin per kg body weight can die within days.

“Aflatoxins are also carcinogenic. They bind with DNA and cause cell mutations. Newberne and Wogan (1968) were able to produce malignant tumors in rats with less than 1 mg of aflatoxin per kg of feed.”    A “Consumer Council study also found that three of the US brands tested (Purina, Iams and Solid Gold) also contained melamine or cyanuric acid. These are the substances that poisoned thousands of pets in 2007.”  

I recommend avoiding foods containing corn or grains (especially genetically modified, and non-certified organic) for you or your pets. I also suggest avoiding foods manufactured in China. False claims and marketing can make buying pet food confusing because recently, Rachel Ray’s Dog Food, Nutrish, is marketed as being free of “[No] artificial flavors or artificial preservatives” and being a “Natural food for dogs”. The company Nutrish, created by Ainsworth Pet Nutrition, but was purchased by J.M. Smucker Company for about $2 billion. Markeith Parks, (Court documents state that a New York resident), claims that Rachel Rays ‘natural’ food is false, deceptive, and misleading.

In addition to that, be aware that there are other harmful ingredients including heterocyclic amines, acrylamides, and PBDEs (polybrominated diphenyl ethers – a chemical used as a flame retardant) that are still included in many processed pet foods. Due to this increase in processed food in pet diets, pet diseases are starting to look more similar to human diseases.

About 50 years ago, people in the US and the world started eating more and more processed foods with additives, fillers, artificial colors, cheap or artificial sugars, genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, refined ingredients, etc. The rise in diabetes is 700% over the last 50 years and now 50% of the people in the US have a chronic disease.

Cancer is prevalent, affecting at least half the men and one-third of the women in the US. I believe it is directly affected by the quality of the food, toxins in the environment, air and water quality, as well as less exercise and sunshine. I see a correlation with our animal friends that we keep as pets. I understand that pet disease has risen at about the same rate. I had a pet yellow Labrador live to be 17, and I’ve had other pets thrive well into old age. I also saw allergies disappear quickly when they began eating a healthier diet.

I received my International Wildlife Rehabilitation license and certification in 2001, and I learned a great deal working with wild animal diets. I even had a blind opossum (which I had rehabilitated) that lived to be 6 years of age. Their life span is usually only 4 years, maybe only 1 year in the wild. The blind opossum, Samantha, thrived on an organic, fresh, healthy food and mineral-rich, pure water diet.

Being a raw food chef, nutrition and health specialist, and an animal diet expert, I started seeing similarities between my animals’ diets and the diets I was recommending to my cancer, diabetes, and heart disease clients. The animals on my high-quality, fresh, mostly raw food diet were thriving and getting well, as they nourished their body with fresh, whole, real, organic food.

It seems sad to say the word “whole or real” food, but over the last 50 years, it is quite startling at what the food manufacturers and the government have allowed to be added to our food and our pet food, as if it is real food.  An example of this is wood pulp, which is a cheap filler used in foods. It is not nutritious, but it is added to make the product cheaper. They have also used it in many processed and cheap foods like genetically modified corn or soy, cottonseed oil, high fructose corn syrup, white refined ingredients, artificial dyes and flavorings, and synthetic vitamins. They are cheap (because our tax dollars support those unsustainable GMO seeds and chemical farming methods, instead of the healthier methods), and are used as a cheap filler in many processed foods.

Most of the corn and soy in the US is genetically modified with a Bt toxin built into it. Studies show this Bt toxin can eat holes in the stomach of whoever is consuming it.

Cottonseed oil isn’t food and should not be used in food, in my opinion, but it’s put in vegetable oil and other processed foods regularly.   I feed my pets the same foods that I am eating for my meals.

There are some foods you should definitely AVOID giving to your pets. because they are toxic to them. Be aware of this and make sure you give them foods free from these foods:  onions, scallions, shallots, garlic, avocado, pitted fruit, grapes, raisins, cacao, chocolate, walnuts, macadamia nuts, and xylitol.

Contrary to what you may have heard, feeding “people food” to pets isn’t always such a bad thing, especially if you’re giving them healthy options. In fact, you may be surprised at what you can safely, and nutritiously, feed your pet from the table.

1. Sweet Potatoes: One of nature’s nearly perfect foods, sweet potatoes are so nutritious, they should be fed to your dog frequently. Sweet Potatoes are high in antioxidants and have been studied on how they can prevent cancer and the effects of aging. They are high in vitamins, including A, C, and B 6. They are also high in the minerals manganese, copper, and iron, and the dietary fiber to help with bowel movements.  I slice my sweet potatoes in half and dehydrate them. If you don’t have a dehydrator, you can also bake them on the lowest heat in your oven for about 40-60 minutes. This turns them into wonderful leathery strips that make healthy chew treats for dogs

2. Fish: Fish is very good for dogs. Salmon, sardines, and anchovies are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA/EPA). Omega-3 fatty acids help prevent skin problems, allergies, arthritis, and heart disease. These oils are anti-inflammatory. I give mine to my animals raw and uncooked. Quality is important.

3. Carrots: Carrots are high in powerful phytonutrients. A great source of Vitamins A, K, and C, carrots provide powerful antioxidants. With these nutrients, they can help a dog’s vision, heart, and blood sugar levels.   Raw baby carrots are one of my favorite treats for dogs. In the hot summer months, you can make little “carrot popsicle treats” by freezing the little carrots in popsicle molds or in ice cube trays, and placing them in their water bowl as a cool surprise.   Lightly steamed or cooked carrots can also be added to your dog’s regular food, or they can be used as part of a healthy home-prepared meal.

4. Broccoli: Broccoli is packed with nutrients. It has been shown to have anti-cancer effects, aid in fighting infections, treat skin and heart problems, help metabolize drugs, and excrete toxins. Broccoli is so helpful, and every dog should eat it regularly.   Broccoli can be fed to dogs both raw and cooked. I recommend combining steamed or cooked broccoli with other high quality foods and fish for a healthy meal, whenever a pet is ill.

You can order the raw, organic, non-GMO broccoli sprout powder to put in their food from the Indoor Organic Gardens of Poughkeepsie. They are fantastic for people and pets! Tell them “Nancy ” (code) and they’ll give you a 50% discount on your orders. I love it and think it is one of the best foods we can add to our diet to improve our and our pet’s health.

5. Leafy Greens: It’s hard to beat leafy greens in terms of maximum nutrition for minimal calories. Leafy greens are a proven cancer-risk preventative, abundant source of fiber, calcium, Vitamin A, E, and C. All of these nutrients help prevent heart disease, and contain numerous antioxidants. Most dogs enjoy greens thinly chopped and sautéed or cooked and mixed with their food. I combine mine in a food processor with the other ingredients and make a raw food recipe for animals.

6. Sprouted Beans: Sprouted and cooked black beans, kidney beans, and garbanzo beans are all super-foods for dogs. Cooked, sprouted beans can help provide natural fibers that help regulate blood sugar levels. This can really help with dogs who are struggling with diabetes.  Cutting out anything with high fructose corn syrup is a key, but also adding more cooked sprouted beans high in natural fiber can help with animal diabetes. In addition, these rich sources of proteins and minerals boost your pet’s immune system and help burn fat.

7. Quinoa: Quinoa is a seed that was known as “the gold of the Incas.” Quinoa is a complete protein. Being a seed, it needs to be soaked overnight to remove the phytic acid before cooking. This will remove the enzyme inhibitors, make it more digestible and help prevent acid indigestion.   Quinoa is easy to prepare. After sprouting it, just boil it in water for about 15 minutes. (The recipe for cooked sprouted quinoa is in my “How To Be A Healthy Vegetarian” and my “Raising Healthy Children” cookbooks).

I use quinoa in a variety of recipes for dogs, combining the cooked quinoa in a food processor with fish, or raw, high-quality meat, plus two to three vegetables (like carrots, broccoli or leafy greens), and some blueberries or watermelon. This creates a quick and easy mixture of healthy food for your pets.

8. Spirulina: Spirulina is a blue-green algae that is incredibly high in protein, nutrients, and antioxidants. Spirulina is often found in a powdered form that can be sprinkled over a dog’s normal food or added to a food processor mixture.

In addition to adding those types of foods to a pet’s diet, there is something important you should know and add to your pet’s diet daily. That one ingredient is Bone Meal.

Bone meal is critical for a dog’s or cat’s diet. If you feed an animal (dog or cat) an all-meat diet without calcium, he would pull all of the calcium from his bones to get enough to move his muscles. So, we need to add bone meal to the diet. (This is especially critical for puppies or kittens, so they don’t get metabolic bone disease. It’s painful and can cause weak bones and it looks like rickets.)

A dog in the wild, like a wolf, would eat whole animals raw, along with some bone. Around 10% to 15% of a dog or cat’s total diet needs to be bone.

Puppies and kittens need at least 12% and up to 15% bone to help them develop their skeletal growth and the development of adult teeth.

I recommend that you add this to the raw recipes, or if you are cooking any of the food, add the bone meal after it is  cooked. You don’t want to add this to a recipe before it’s cooked. You don’t want to cook the bone meal with the food.

If you weigh your dog’s or cat’s food, and then add this for a total of 10% by weight, then you should be in good shape. You can make the bone meal yourself, which I recommend. The book,  Dr. Becker’s Real Food For Healthy Dogs And Cats, is excellent to use as a recipe book.

Some doctors don’t believe in the power of foods and nutrition. Their focus is on treatment, not prevention. But I believe if we eat the right foods, we have the power to reverse and prevent disease. I use food as medicine, and I’ve seen it work on people, and also on my pets and the wildlife that I rehabilitate.

A friend of mine has a small dog, and she called me in a panic one day. She said her dog had been diagnosed with cancer. The oncologist recommended that chemo should be started right away.   She had been told her dog’s chances were slim, maybe 3 to 6 months to live. She was feeling panicky and pressured to do the treatment. She was calling me to ask my opinion.   I told her she needed to change her dog’s diet, and maybe she could turn this around.

I gave her some detailed recipes and ingredient recommendations.I explained to her the concept of feeding your pet raw food and why.   Animals in the wild are not consuming cooked or processed food, and they thrive on raw meat, whole-food-based diet. Cooking the food destroys the enzymes. I believe the animals require these enzymes in raw food in order to stay healthy.

A healthy, raw food diet includes high quality, humanely raised or wild-caught creature meats (beef, fowl, fish), including organ meats, raw egg yolks, organic vegetables (like steamed broccoli, carrots, baby leafy greens, microgreens,) and fruits (like watermelon, berries, apples, pears, mango), as well as sprouted, organic pumpkin and sunflower seeds and nuts.

In addition to this, I add a tiny bit of unrefined, mineral-rich salt for the electrolytes. (The word electrolyte is simply a fancy medical term for the word salt). I also recommend changing up the mixture regularly, for variety.

My friend really took this to heart and decided to do the healthy food program and wait on the chemo.   She stuck to it, and after about two years, she called me to tell me that her dog was still alive and thriving, with no sign of cancer. (Now it’s 2 more years later and her dog is still doing well on this new diet.)   I was thrilled. She told me her dog hadn’t had any issues with digestion or elimination since being on the new, healthier, natural diet.

This is a diet that can not only give your pet more energy, but also help reduce food allergies from the processed and genetically modified ingredients like wheat, corn, and soy found in many of the processed dog foods.

If you ever want a quality food, you don’t have to make all yourself.
Try the meat topper by “Four Leaf Rover”.
      

Or Ziwi Pets – dog and cat food.

Something new and different, which I personally am using for myself (and on many of my pet clients and on my own personal pets), is a new frequency technology and I’ve had some really good results and so have my clients who have tried them. No supplements, no swallowing, no negative side effects, and extremely powerful for animals! Approved for Olympic athletes.

They works on our infrared energy in our body and works like acupuncture does on meridians. The patches have crystals in them, that reflect our infrared energy and activate our own copper GHK-CU peptide.

I have been using them on animals with incredible results, wound healing, infected eyes healing…
I have been astounded at the quickness of the effect.
Click here for a link to a website that explains how these works.

If you wish to try them, My referral number is 1439757 and my link will say “nancyaddison “

My human clients are having wonderful results using them also. Let me know if you have any questions.

Text me at 214-202-9243.
I’ll call you back.

You can also hire me for health counseling for your pets on Pet Works.

I hope this information helps you and I wish you healthy, happy pets!

What’s bugging you?

While summer is the optimal time for showing off toned skin and flaunting revealing fashions, it’s the absolute worst for bug bites, sunburns, and itchy rashes.

Whether it is a mosquito or beach fleas, some of these bites can be downright painful. They can also itch so much you almost want to scratch the skin off, which can create scars and wounds. Stop skin blunders from ruining the way you feel or look with any of the following natural skin relief treatments.

Mosquitoes don’t normally sting through loose fitting clothing, so this is a good preventative measure. Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors, while wasps and bees are attracted to light, bright, floral colors.

Non-Toxic, Bug Repllant Recipe

A bug bite deterrent that is easy to make yourself is made of a blend of one or more of the following ingredients.
Choose one or two of these organic essential oils (2 tsp. total oil):

Lavender essential oil
Myrrh essential oil
Rosemary essential oil
Juniper essential oil
Lemon essential oil
1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol (you can buy this at a liquor store.) You could also use pure water, if you don’t have alcohol.

Directions:
Combine a total of 2 tsp. of essential oil and combine that with 1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol.
Place it in a bottle with a tight-fitting lid.

(You can also put it in a spray bottle to easily spray on before going outdoors.)

Shake well.

Test it on a small patch of skin first to make sure you are not sensitive to the oil and alcohol.
If you are ok with the test, use it on your skin to avoid bites. If you are already bitten and you are itching and wanting to scratch the pain away, here are a few remedies.

1. Rub aloe vera (either freshly cut or from a bottle) on bites and stings to ease burning.
2. Get relief from itches by applying a few drops of lavender oil to the affected area as needed.
3. I like homeopathic remedies. There are a few options that you can add to your natural remedy medicine cabinet for these itchy situations. A homeopathic you can choose for crazy itching or hives is Arsenicum album 200. When it’s a painful bee sting or insect bite, the Ledum palustre 200. (You may wish to take the Ledum plustre 200 about every few hours until the pain has subsided.) If you have a bite with swelling, apis mellifica 200 can be helpful.
4. “Deep Freeze,” CBD Topical roll-on is very calming and cooling, by Pharm Organics.

• Organically Grown, Premium Quality CBD Hemp
• Organic Aloe Leaf
• Menthol
• Infused with Capsicum, Camphor and other Essential Oils
• Proprietary Muscle Treatment Blend

5. Vitamin B can help calm, reduce nervousness and insomnia. Anxiety can cause itching and/or aggravate it. Try to calm yourself by deep breathing, taking some magnesium and vitamin B’s, to help relax and alleviate nutritional reasons that could cause extra stress and help reduce the pain of the itching. Most people are vitamin B and magnesium deficient. A deficiency in these can result in itchy flaky skin, anxiety, lack of energy, and insomnia.

Once, I was bitten by some kind of small black bug or flea in Panama. It was absolutely miserable for at least a week. I thought it was never going to stop. I read that sometimes these bugs lay eggs in your skin. I also read that it could have been parasites.

Since I had been all over the jungle and visited wild animal rehabilitation places, I was not sure where I received all the bites, or if they were even all the same type of bug or flea bite. It seemed to get worse a few days later and it wasn’t stopping. I was overwhelmed with the itch and was getting quite desperate to find a natural remedy.

For the most extreme cases, where you can’t get the itching to stop, I have found that food grade hydrogen peroxide can be dabbed on the itching spots with a cotton swab or a cotton ball. This solution will kill any parasite that may be inside the skin, but also oxygenate and destroy any infection in the bite.

It can hurt and burn a lot, so I would apply the hydrogen peroxide immediately before getting into the shower to scrub with tea tree oil soap and a body brush. It was very effective and stopped the extreme itching. (I used a 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide, which is extremely strong compared to the 3% grade sold at the pharmacy)

You may need to do this each day, until you are sure it has stopped the itch, killed the parasite, or stopped the infection. With much relief, you can be on the road to healing.

I order food grade hydrogen peroxide through the internet. It is extremely strong. You will need to be very careful when handling this and keep it out of the reach of children. You may want to use normal over the counter (3% grade) hydrogen peroxide, but the food grade is much stronger (35%) for more extreme cases. You can water it down a bit, if it’s too strong for you.

Two brands of food grade hydrogen peroxide I have purchased are: Oxygen Wellness Co. and Pure Health Discounts.

After I do did the hydrogen peroxide, scrub it off, and dry off, then I would put the Pharm Organics Deep Freeze, topical roll-on with hemp, aloe vera, or apple cider vinegar, etc. and it would feel so much better.

Poison Ivy or Poison Oak

Once I went with my husband to hike in the woods with our dog. Our dog was running around in the woods and got poison ivy on his fur. I was petting him and brushing off the sticker burrs, and unknowingly got the poison ivy from his fur. I used tea tree oil on the poison ivy and it was almost gone the next day. I used tea tree oil shampoo on the dog also.

A few years later, one of our house remodeling contractors had a terrible case of poison ivy. He had used cortisone, medicines from the doctor, and everything he could think of for more than four months. He was absolutely miserable. I gave him my tea tree oil to try.

The next day, he came back absolutely astounded at how well it had worked. His poison ivy was gone in a matter of days. Tea tree oil works extremely well for poison oak, and fire ant bites as well.

I use the tea tree oil on any itchy place, bite, or rash. It is especially good for bites that have a fluid in it. Tea tree oil has antibacterial properties. It is not supposed to be used on an open wound.

I used it on a large swollen bite my son had on his back. It was the middle of the night and we were staying in a remote hotel built into the side of a mountain in Greece, with no medical care nearby. I didn’t know what to do, so I kept putting tea tree oil on it. The next day, the swelling had gone down to half, then the next day it was almost gone. We were so thankful.

Another use for tea tree oil is for chicken pox. My son got chicken pox when he was four. He is a redhead and has very sensitive skin. I put tea tree oil directly on each spot all over his body. I thought it would help him not to itch or scratch. In the morning, his chicken pox outbreak was gone, with no scars, no itching, and no complications. It was amazing. His doctor was completely astonished, as was his preschool teacher. I have used it on just about everything ever since.

In my opinion, the New Zealand variety of tea tree oil smells better than the Australian type, but both work really well.
You can also use aloe vera leaf gel on the rash to soothe and promote healing.

Oatmeal baths are also good for calming us down, as well as calming the skin irritation.
If you go to the beach, a jellyfish sting can really hurt. If you have some lemon or limes, rub the cut fruit on the place that hurts. The citrus can help take the pain out.

Drinking carrot juice or eating carrots or sweet potatoes is a natural way to protect yourself from too much sun during summer. The beta-carotene in these vegetables gives the body some natural sun protection.

You can also wear thick clothing that covers your skin but doesn’t contain chemicals. Clothing treated with chemicals such as titanium or zinc oxide will break down in the wash, enter the water supply, and create hazards to the ecosystem.

So, whenever you are outside, get some natural Vitamin D, put on some natural bug protection, wear natural clothing to protect yourself from too much sun, eat beta-carotene-rich foods, and get into the shade if you feel you have been out too long. Enjoy your sunshine and fresh air!

I hope this helps make your summer adventures more enjoyable!

 That Can Bug You This Summer appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

Natural foods
 & 
lifestyle adjustments can be implemented right away and make a huge difference in your quality of life. In a recent study, men who were in early stage prostate cancer, who made intensive changes in diet and lifestyle stopped or perhaps even reversed the progression of their illness.” (1)

In this comprehensive study, they chose 93 men that had biopsy-proven prostate cancer who had elected not to undergo conventional treatment.   For one year the group was split into two groups. One did not change anything they were doing, but the second group was placed on a vegan diet (mostly fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains with additional vitamin and mineral supplements) and a lifestyle with moderate aerobic exercise, meditation, yoga and support group sessions.

At the end of one year, the “PSA levels (a protein marker for prostate cancer) decreased in men in the group who made comprehensive lifestyle changes but increased in the comparison group. There was a direct correlation between the degree of lifestyle change and the changes in PSA. Also, they found that serum from the participants inhibited prostate tumor growth in vitro by 70 percent in the lifestyle-change group but only 9 percent in the comparison group. Again, there was a direct correlation between the degree of lifestyle change and the inhibition of prostate tumor growth.” (2)

Also, published studies on milk thistle’s anti-cancer potential show its effectiveness against cancers of the prostate, liver, lung, breast, colon, cervix, skin and ovaries.

Milk thistle is also a powerful means to protect the body against the damage of cancer drugs. It’s frequently used in cancer care to help moderate the toxic effects of radiation and chemotherapy.

The silymarin component of the plant offsets the growth of certain types of cancer cells, including those associated with prostate, skin, and liver cancers. It also helps prevent cancer cells from spreading throughout the body. (3) Oral ingestion of silibinin has also shown effectiveness in preventing the growth, spread, and metastasis of prostate cancer cells, working in part by causing cell cycle arrest. (4)

Isosilybin B is likewise effective in targeting prostate cancer. It helps to maintain healthy prostate cell division inside the body while suppressing the secretion of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a common marker of the disease’s presence and spread. Isosilybin B has also shown efficacy in fighting both hormone-dependent and hormone-independent prostate cancers. It is also efficacious in suppressing a genetic factor linked to the disease’s formation. (5)

Along with the high rates of prostate cancer is the serious problem for men that is Erectile Dysfunction, also known as ED. One survey found that 50% of men aged 40 and up had ED (6), and another found that 33% of men aged 50 and up complained of having ED in the past three months. (7)

Besides the physical effects on health, ED can lead to depression and anxiety, and affect relationships. Fortunately, when you give the body the right tools, it can start to heal itself.

There are all kinds of natural foods you can add to your diet to provide those tools. ED has many causes. ED is a main side effect of many commonly prescribed pharmaceutical drugs, so check the side effects of any pharmaceutical drugs you take. Heart disease, obesity, diabetes, older age, smoking, alcohol, high blood pressure, stress, and a sedentary lifestyle all increase the risk of ED. (8)

Studies show that 70% of all erectile dysfunction caused by non-psychological factors is due to blood vessel problems and diabetes. (9) In fact, the first sign of heart disease is sexual dysfunction. (9)

Even more seriously, men who have ED are 70% more likely to die prematurely than men without ED. (10)

A two-year study took men with ED and placed them on a high-fiber diet of fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats (a Mediterranean diet), and the results were better erections. (11)

I often hear men talk about how they crave steak, chicken, fish, and burgers so they can bulk up or be manly. The Paleo diet has been all the rage. These “manly” foods actually produce the exact opposite of what masculine parts need to function.

To prevent and treat erectile dysfunction, choose to cut down on or eliminate steak, burgers, hot dogs, fish, and chicken wings.  Add fresh fruits and vegetables, grilled Portobello mushrooms, sprouted lentils, sprouted quinoa, and sprouted beans to your eating plan, and see what a difference that makes. Look beyond TV commercials and stereotypes of masculinity.

Research shows that healthy, fresh, whole, vegetarian foods actually boost sexual function throughout your lifetime. A more vegetarian diet can do amazing things for your health, and it can be delicious!

Another natural food to try on the road to health is Fenugreek Seeds. Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum–graecum) has held a major position in Ayurveda Medicine for thousands of years. It has been traditionally used in cooking, and it has been historically used for supporting liver and gallbladder health, balancing blood sugar, regulating weight, and boosting overall digestive strength.

There is a well-documented study, showing the benefits of supplementing your diet with fenugreek seeds, and its effect on the blood sugar of type 1 diabetics. Poor blood sugar regulation is linked to weight gain, along with an excess of serious health concerns.

Keep in mind, blood sugar imbalances actually start in the liver, and the liver is where fenugreek benefits. In one study with diabetic type 1 patients, there was a 54% reduction of glucose in the first-morning urine, along with significant positive changes in the ability to regulate fats in the liver. (12)

Fenugreek has also been found to help with men’s libido and increase their sexual function. In one study, 60 males between the ages of 25 and 52 with erectile concerns took either fenugreek or a placebo for 6 weeks. The men that took the fenugreek saw considerable improvement in libido and their sexual ability. In addition to this, the men personally reported a positive result in muscle strength, energy and well-being. While the exact components for these effects is still undiscovered, it has been found that fenugreek can play a role in maintaining healthy testosterone levels. (13)

Fenugreek can be taken as a tea with meals, or it can be taken as a supplement in a capsule form.  You can also sprout them and use them on salads or freshly grind them to use as a spice to sprinkle on your food when cooking.

There is a company that is successfully helping men using a non-transdermal patch, which was originally created for the Navy Seals. I have found them to be very positive in so many ways for myself and my clients. People are getting pain relief (especially from old broken bones or traumas), better sleep, and greater energy ( they are being worn by Olympic athletes, and athletes like David Beckham and Serena Williams).

Click here to watch see a website with short videos that explains how this patch therapy works.

If you decide to order, I would order the X39 patch and the spays. If you order please use my link.
They may ask for my ID Number, which is 1439757 and my link says “nancyaddison”

If you do this, I can help you with any questions or situations. My phone number is 214-202-9243. Please text me and tell me in the subject line, Lifewave.

If you order as a preferred customer, you will get some free samples every other month, and at the end of 12 months, you will receive a free month’s supply of the X39 patches, a 99 dollar value.

There is also an herbal supplement, myomin, which may offer some excellent aid to hormone balance for men.

Myomin is often called a Chinese herbal complex. Myomin was developed by Dr. Tsu-Tsair Chi a Chinese-American Doctor and Naturopath.

Myomin is an all-natural herbal formula that contains:

• Aralia,
• Astragalus membranaceous
• Smilax glabra,
• Curcuma zedoria
• Cyperus rotundus

Combine the myomin with Tongkat Ali.

Tongkat Ali has been used in traditional medicine in Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and other Asian countries to treat malaria, infections, fevers, male infertility, and erectile dysfunction

These testosterone herbs tell the brain to make more testosterone. This combination of myomin and tongkat Ali works best together. These can help you regain your zest for life as well.

Along with those supplements, make sure you are taking at least one drop of iodine every day. Avoid any white iodized salt, it’s not a good source and it’s toxic to your body. You need to use mineral-rich salt daily for
lower blood pressure and more optimum overall health, but the iodine needs to be added to your daily supplement intake.

If you are interested in moving to a more plant-based diet, you may want to read my best-selling, award-winning, book/cookbooks  “How to Be a Healthy Vegetarian“  (second edition) Awarded “Best Diet and Nutrition Book of the Year,” in the Beverly Hills Book Awards and Winner For “Best Specialty Cookbook of the Year” in the Book Excellence Awards 2017 or “Diabetes And Your Diet“  Winner of Best Health Book of the Year, in the International Book Awards, 2017. at this link: Author.to/nancyaddison or you can also visit my home page of this website: www.organichealthylife.com to order the books.

I have taught many Texas men, including Larry Hagman (J. R. Ewing from the show Dallas), how to love being a vegetarian and enjoy the food. When we make the decision to change our diet, that decision can create wonderful results in health and well-being.

“All infections do their damage with what they call oxidative stress.

It is electron theft. All laboratory tests show this.”

Dr. Thomas E. Levy MD  – Cardiologist & Lawyer

So, what kind of damage is caused by oxidative stress?

Conditions that are associated with oxidative stress damage are:
• Atherosclerosis
• Cancer
• Pulmonary dysfunction
• Cataracts
• Arthritis and inflammatory diseases
• Diabetes
• Shock, trauma, and ischemia
• Renal disease and hemodialysis
• Multiple sclerosis
• Pancreatitis
• Inflammatory bowel disease and colitis
• Parkinson’s disease
• Neonatal lipoprotein oxidation
• Drug reactions
• Skin lesions
• Aging

That is quite a list of things!

What exactly is oxidative stress?

Oxidative stress is an imbalance between of free radicals and healthy, normal cells. A free radical, is an oxygen containing molecule that is missing an electron.This allows it to damage neighboring cells.
The ability to utilize oxygen allows the body to metabolize of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates for energy. The problem is that oxygen is a highly reactive atom.

Free radicals are electrically charged molecules that are missing an electron. These free radicals then go in search of a molecule that can supply the missing electron. When it takes the electron from the other molecule, it neutralizes that free radical, but in the process, it creates another free radical. This has a chain reaction effect that can go on for thousands and thousands of molecules, which can cause incredible cell damage in the process. This can continue in seconds of the initial reaction.

According to Dr Mark Percival, antioxidants are the best way to defend against this cellular damage.  His reserach shows they are critical for maintaining optimum health and well-being.

Every cell that uses enzymes and oxygen to function is subject to free radical damage.  Antioxidants are the molecules that are present in the cells that can prevent these free radicals from creating this damage, and subsequent chain reaction.

In reality, many people’s diets are not getting the amount of antioxidants require to defend itself from the overwhelming amount of free radicals that can be in the body causing damage. This can result in massive amounts of cellular damage.

When a cell is damaged, the DNA stand divides, the cell metabolizes, and it’s function becomes deranged. The mutation created then results in carcinogenesis. Studies show that the antioxidant protects against this DNA damage and decreases the abnormal cell division.

Even though there are growing dangers of oxidative stress, there are some simple ways to prevent it.

1. Antioxidants can be obtained from fresh, organic, non-GMO fruits and vegetables. Studies show that diets filled with adequate amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables can protect against numerous cancers, heart disease, and other diseases.

2. Antioxidants can also be added to the diet in the form of a supplement, capsules or tablets. There is a supplement, that I am using now, that can help with oxidative stress and helping the body to actually manufacture it’s own antioxidants. There was an ABC “Primetime News” segment on it that describes what it does quite well. Click here to view the Primetime Segment. “

In the US, Heart disease is the leading cause of death. An estimated one in three Americans will eventually die from heart disease. Diets low antioxidant-rich foods are linked to the frequency of this disease.

It has been estimated that dietary increases in antioxidant vitamins may reduce the risk of heart disease by 20-30%.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. It is estimated that a diet low in antioxidants rich foods, may account for as much as 35% of all cancers.

Research shows, that a diet low in nutritious fruits and vegetables doubles the risk of most types of cancers.

Antioxidants are critical for stabilizing, or deactivating, free radicals before they attack and destroy cells. They are important in maintaining optimal cell health and well-being.

This supplement I’m taking has been very effective in reducing cellular oxidative stress by 40% within 30 days. It is so effective at so many things that it has been nominated for 3 Nobel Prizes for Medicine. This is very impressive for a natural supplement that is not a pharmaceutical. In fact there are over 24 peer reviewed studies posted on PubMed concerning this supplement, Protandim NRF2,

Athletes love it. Kelly Slater, 11x world champion surfer, takes Nrf2. “I’ve been on (#TheLittleYellowPill) for 5 years now and can attest to the power of this product in helping to recover from injury, besides just feeling so good now… I cracked my pelvis in 2 places and 2 ribs on a tree in a snowboarding accident last year. I wasn’t sure I would walk normally after the accident… I was running upstairs just 6 weeks later. I will NEVER not take it!”

For autism, Chris a mother of an autistic child said. “2 weeks ago after him being activated we Nrf1, him to boost and repair his mitochondrial function. He is starting to repeat words, try new foods, and the best…finally allowing a toothbrush in his mouth. That’s just a start.

We took him to a developmental pediatrician at Children’s hospital in Portland and when your child is Autistic you tend to self-blame.

After dropping the bug in his ear about the products he’s on and because the research posted on here the lights went on and he said…Ohh MY,! You’re right…There is a link between mitochondrial dysfunction and autism. Nobody has even bothered testing for it? The Dr. validated me and told me I’m doing everything right.”

It’s not expensive, it can be under $60 a month. Click on this link to see the product pages and the website. New customers, click on “Shop”

You may want to order the NRF1 and 2 package, for the very basic program. Add the Axio is you can afford it. That helps support the mental abilities.

For the skin, there is a skin cream, their is a scalp serum, that has been shown to work really well with hair regrowth.

And yet, some of these foods use ingredients or cooking techniques that may not be as healthy as we might desire. Eating these foods doesn’t always make our body feel at its best. So, I thought I would provide you with a few ingredient or food choice tips which you can substitute to make some family recipes or dishes that are healthier to enjoy, and which also promote optimum health during the holiday season.

Potatoes are a nutrient-rich comfort food, but most people have traditionally used white potatoes, since there weren’t many other choices at the grocery store, and since this was what they were used to eating. However, a healthier choice when preparing a potato dish would be to consider using sweet or purple sweet potatoes in place of white potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are delicious and high in fiber and beta-carotene. Kansas State University has been studying the potential health benefits of the purple sweet potato and its anti-cancer properties. Purple sweet potatoes typically contain unusually high amounts of anthocyanin, which is a powerful anti-cancer pigment. Anthocyanins can be red, blue or purple depending on the food’s chemical structure. (These anthocyanins of blue, red, and purple color pigment can also be found in many colorful fruits, like blueberries, black raspberries, and red grapes.) Anthocyanins are known to have antiangiogenic properties. (Angiogenesis means the growth of new blood vessels. Anti-angiogenic means that it stops tumors from growing their own blood vessels.)  As I often state, the antioxidants are the color pigment of the food.

These dark purple, blue, and red foods also contain phenols. Phenols are organic compounds naturally occurring in certain foods, that have anti-aging and antioxidant components.  Additionally, an American Chemical Society study found that eating purple potatoes may lower blood pressure.

For a healthy stuffing, try making one with organic sprouted rice, wild rice or sprouted organic bread stuffing (using a bread like Ezekiel or Alvarado Bakery) in place of the white, refined bread. Then, bake your stuffing in a separate dish instead of cooking it inside the turkey (where it can absorb a high amount of saturated fat from the meat.) Also, use vegetable broth in place of chicken broth. Doing both of these things allows the vegetarian or vegan diners to be able to enjoy that dish as well.

When making cornbread stuffing, purchase the non-GMO, organic cornmeal (which is free of the bT toxin). If you are feeling brave, try using blue cornmeal, which is about 30 percent higher in protein and has more zinc and iron than white or yellow corn.

When preparing creature (turkey or other types of meat) foods, try using a little orange juice and coconut oil to add moisture, and try baking them instead of frying them. If you are baking, frying or sautéing anything, use organic, pure coconut oil or avocado oil in place of lard, vegetable oil or a trans-fat like Crisco. They handle heat well and have fantastic health benefits.

For other types of animal, fish or fowl, you can grill, broil, or sauté them in a little coconut oil. After you remove them from the heat, you can drizzle some pure, organic, extra virgin olive oil on them and serve with lemon juice or a lemon juice vinaigrette. When dining, choose skinless, white meat pieces, and then add just a tiny bit of gravy.

Now for dessert, try making a pumpkin pie! You can make a whole sprouted grain crust yourself or you can find a whole grain ready-made crust at the store, and serve the coconut milk whipped cream for the topping. It’s delicious and it’s a great way to cut down on dairy.

For dessert, I also love having a simple pitted date as a sweet treat. It’s just fruit, and it is a healthier choice.
Try using non-dairy milk in your recipes or for your coffee creamer. If you want it to be sweeter, blend the milk (like the unsweetened, vanilla coconut or hemp milk) with a little extra added vanilla or maple extract in a blender and add some pitted dates. I soak the pitted dates in water to make them softer so they will crème up easier, and voilà! You have a healthier version of a sweet, holiday creamer for your coffee or desserts. You can also add a sprinkle of freshly ground nutmeg (I use whole nutmegs in a pepper grinder) on top for a beautiful and delicious presentation!

When making or serving snacks, try an easy dip option such as a healthy high-protein hummus or nutritious guacamole. Cutting some cucumber, red bell pepper or celery to use as the dipping chips is also a great choice! If you want to serve crackers or chips, try using a whole grain, sprouted, organic version or an organic sweet potato chip or cracker. (Late July is a good brand for chips and Mary’s Gone Cracker’s is my favorite cracker these days.)

For additional snacks that are easy for travel or on the go, try combinations of organic, sprouted nuts, sprouted seeds, olives, pitted dates, raisins, dry fruits, kale chips and coconut chips.

Here are some easy substitutions I use frequently: 1. unsweetened cashew yogurt in place of sour cream, 2. hummus or mashed avocado instead of mayonnaise for sandwiches, 3. unsweetened vanilla coconut, hemp or cashew milk in place of dairy.

With these ingredient substitutions, you can still eat all the delicious flavors you love while enjoying a number of health benefits.

In this way, you can feel and look your best as holiday activities continue on into January. Instead of regretting what you ate, you will glow with radiant health.

So as we continue our traditions, remember that we can create comforting, wonderful memories with our families and friends by just relaxing, and putting a lot of love into everything we do.

It is the warm feelings in the traditions that we will always cherish. It truly is about being present, and being here, right now. Slow down and savor the moment. It is food for our soul.

The post Create Healthier Holiday Food appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

Here are a few emergency remedies that may help you have a smooth sailing, painless summer of fun!

Bug Bites

Whether it is a mosquito or beach fleas, some of these bites can be downright painful. They can also itch so much you almost want to scratch the skin off, which can create scars and wounds.

While summer is the optimal time for showing off tanned skin, it’s the can be awful, when you have unattractive bug bites, sunburns, and itchy rashes. Here are a few holistic ways I’ve found to be very effective.

1. Mosquitoes don’t normally sting through lose fitting clothing, so wearing, gauzy, light weight clothing that covers you, is a good preventative measure. Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors, while wasps and bees are attracted to light, bright, floral colors.
2. Essential oils are also a good bug, bite deterrent.

Here is my easy Anti-bug Bite Recipe:

Ingredients

Choose one or a combination of the following organic essential oils (2 tsp. total oil):

Lavender essential oil

Myrrh essential oil

Rosemary essential oil

Juniper essential oil

Lemon essential oil.

1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol

Use a total of 2 tsp. of essential oil and combine that with 1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol (you can buy this at a liquor store.)

Directions:

Combine a total of 2 tsp. of essential oil and combine that with 1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol

Place the mixture in a bottle with a tight-fitting lid.

Shake it well, before every use.

It is advised to test it on a small patch of skin first to make sure you or whoever you are putting it on, are not sensitive to the oil and alcohol.

If you are ok with the test, use it on your skin to avoid bites.

If you are already bitten and you are itching and wantin to scratch the pain away, here are a few remedies.

A. Rub aloe vera (either fresh or from a bottle) or organic, raw apple cider vinegar on bites and stings, to ease burning.

B. Get relief from itches by applying a few drops of lavender oil to the affected area as needed.

C. Vitamin B can help calm, reduce nervousness and insomnia. Anxiety can cause itching and/or aggravate it. Try to calm yourself by deep breathing, taking some magnesium and vitamin B’s, to help relax and alleviate nutritional reasons that could cause extra stress and help reduce the pain of the itching. Most people are vitamin B and magnesium deficient. A deficiency in these can result in itchy flaky skin, anxiety, lack of energy, and insomnia.

Vitamin B can help calm, reduce nervousness and insomnia. Anxiety can cause itching and/or aggravate it. Try to calm yourself by deep breathing, taking some magnesium and vitamin B’s, to help relax and alleviate nutritional reasons that could cause extra stress and help reduce the pain of the itching. Most people are vitamin B and magnesium deficient. A deficiency in these can result in itchy flaky skin, anxiety, lack of energy, and insomnia.

If you take extra Vitamin B1, or thiamine, since it is water soluble, you will simply excrete it. When the body discards it through the skin, it has an odor mosquitoes avoid.  that’s “discarded” by the body produces an odor that is “unbearable” for mosquitoes.

So, you can take a supplement of 100 grams of vitamin B1 plus a supplement of vitamin B complex. You can also dissolve a vitamin B supplement in a body lotion, then use it as a skin cream as a bug repellent. Depending on the skin cream you use, it should be safe enough to use on babies. You can also eat foods rich in Vitamin B, like organic, fresh asparagus and humanely, pasture-raised eggs.

D. I was bitten by some kind of small black bug or flea in Panama recently. It was absolutely miserable for at least a week. I thought it was going to never stop. I read that something these buys lay eggs in you or it could have been parasites. Since I had been all over the jungle and visited wild animal rehabilitation places, I was not sure, where I received all the bites or if they were even all the same type of bug or flea bite. It seemed to get worse a few days later and it wasn’t stopping. I was overwhelmed with the itch and was getting quite desperate to find a natural remedy.

For the most extreme cases, where you can’t get the itching to stop, I have found that food grade hydrogen peroxide can be dabbed on the itching spots with a cotton ball. It will kill any parasite that may be inside the skin, but also oxygenate and destroy any infection in the bite. It can hurt and burn a lot, so I do it immediately before getting into the shower to scrub with tea tree oil soap and a body brush. It was very effective and stopped the extreme itching. You may need to do this each day, until you are sure it has stopped the itch or infection and is on the road to healing. Also, if you do have a parasite inside the skin, the repeating of the hydrogen peroxide will make sure you kill any of them or their offspring.

I order food grade hydrogen peroxide through the internet. This type of hydrogen peroxide is extremely strong. You will need to be very careful when handling this and keep it out of reach of children. You may want to use normal over the counter hydrogen peroxide, but the food grade is much stronger for more extreme cases. You can water it down a bit, if it’s too strong for you. (You may want to wear some rubber gloves when handling it.)

E. In an emergency, applying some mint toothpaste to a bug bite can frequently help cool the spot and alleviate the itch. The will trick your mind to focus on the cool feeling, instead of the itch. Mint toothpaste is also anti-inflammatory.

Poison Ivy or poison oak

Once I went with my husband to hike in the woods with our dog. Our dog was running around in the woods and got poison ivy on his fur. I was petting him and brushing off the sticker burrs, and unknowingly got the poison ivy from his fur. I used tea tree oil on the poison ivy and it was almost gone the next day. I used tea tree oil shampoo on the dog also.

A few years later, one of our contractors once had terrible poison oak. He had used cortisone, medicines from the doctor, and everything he could think of for more than four months. He was absolutely miserable. I gave him my tea tree oil to try. The next day, he came back absolutely astounded at how well it had worked. His poison oak was gone in a matter of days. Tea tree oil works extremely well for both poison ivy and poison oak.

I use the tea tree oil any place, bite, rash, or itchy place. It is especially good for places that have a fluid in it. Tea tree oil has antibacterial properties.  It not supposed to be used on an open wound.

In my opinion, the New Zealand variety smells better than the Australian type, but both work really well.

In addition to the tea tree oil, you can also use aloe vera leaf gel on a rash to soothe and promote healing. Oat meal baths are also good for calming down inflamed skin

Natural sunburn treatment

I love getting out in the sun and often over-do the amount of sun I get. I’ve found that all too frequently, I have a bit of a sunburn that hurts and needs some relief.

1. My favorite thing to do for sunburn is take an oatmeal bath. This is very refreshing as well as soothing.
2. After the bath, aloe vera leaf gel, either from the plant itself or an aloe vera gel I’ve purchased at the store, can feel very nice applied to the burned places. You can also just use the aloe vera gel without the oat meal bath.
3. Another thing I’ve found to be very effective is a mixture of cold-pressed, organic apple cider vinegar with some pure water. I use half a cup of water with half a cup of apple cider vinegar. I wash it over the sunburn or put it in my bath water. It can really relieve the sunburn heat and reduce the inflammation. After applying the apple cider vinegar, and it is dried, then applying the aloe vera gel on the inflamed area is also helpful.
4. Drinking some chamomile tea and dabbing the cool tea on the sunburn, has a cooling effect and can bring some relief as well.

If you have a heat rash from the sun, then try an oatmeal water paste applied to the areal. Sandalwood powder and equal part water, mixed into a paste and spread over the heat rash or sunburn is also a very effective anti-inflammatory remedy.

As a natural sunburn preventative measure, drinking carrot juice, eating carrots, or sweet potatoes, with beta-carotene, is a natural way to protect yourself from too much sun during summer. These vegetables give the body some natural sun protection.

Allergies

1. Essential oils, Eucalyptus and peppermint, are very effective in alleviating allergy symptoms. I put mine in a humidifier. You can also put a few drops of them in a pan of hot water and do a mist inhalation of the oils. You can also rub the bottom of your feet with these oils, which is refreshing as well as helpful for allergy symptoms.
2. A nasal lavage is a very effective way to help a congested sinus start to heal. My family went to Dr. Ludwig Michaels, an ear, nose, and throat doctor, for many years. He used a bulb syringe filled with a mixture of sea salt and warm water.

He would fill the bulb syringe with the warm salt water mixture, then he inserted it into one nostril, and gently pressed the warm salt water into the nostril. The water would come out the other nostril, along with any congestion.

He repeated that process on each side a couple of times. We would hold our head over a bowl to catch the water that came out. It always cleared out our congestion and was refreshing. Neti pots work in the same way, but I don’t think they are as easy or effective to use, as a bulb syringe. You can buy rubber bulb syringes and neti-pots at many pharmacies. Note: Always use purified water and avoid using tap water. I recommend using unrefined, mineral rich salt and avoid ever using the white refined salt.

3. A pinch of unrefined sea salt under the tongue with a little purified water, also has a wonderful antihistamine affect.
4. The spice turmeric can also help in calming down allergies symptoms. This following recipe makes a wonderfully soothing drink with effective anti-inflammatory properties.

Recipe of Turmeric Milk

Ingredients

1 cup (preferably unsweetened, vanilla) hemp or coconut milk

1/8 tsp. turmeric

1/16 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

¼  tsp. raw, unrefined honey

¼ tsp. cold-pressed, flax seed oil.

Directions

Combine and drink warm or at room temperature.

Note: Many foods act together like a symphony.  Combining the black pepper with the turmeric, can make the turmeric up to 1000 times more effective, because of the piperine in the pepper.

In addition to this, turmeric is fat-soluble. This means that it dissolves in fat. Adding the omega 3 fatty acid (cold pressed flax seed oil – which is anti-inflammatory) to the mixture, helps the active component in turmeric, curcumin, to be absorbed more effectively into the blood stream.

Variation: If you don’t have a cold pressed omega-3 fatty acid oils, you can substitute pure, coconut oil instead.

In conclusion, as you enjoy your delightful summer months, using some of these healthful, home-made remedies to make your summer more pleasant can be easy and inexpensive.

May you have a summer of heathy sunshine, fresh and, fun!

I know many people are wondering about the health benefits of cannabinoid oil, also known as hemp oil or CBD oil. They are also wondering if it’s legal to purchase or if it is going to have negative drug side effects.

In this article, I will try to expand on the studies being done on CBD/hemp oil and the researched health benefits, legal status and a product I have found to be the most effective.

In clinical trials the oil from the cannabis plant, also known as CBD oil has been shown to have these benefits:

• Anti-inflammatory activity.
• Blocking tumor growth.
• Preventing the growth of blood vessels that supply tumors.
• Antiviral activity.
• Relieving muscle spasms caused by multiple sclerosis.

The use of Cannabis for medicinal purposes dates back at least 3,000 years. It was used in Western medicine until the 20th century and was said to relieve pain, inflammation, spasms, and convulsions.

There are many theories on why it was made illegal, but if you really look into it, and follow the money trail, you will find that the ones who wanted it illegal were benefiting financially.

They simply didn’t want the competition from such an incredibly healthful and economically beneficial plant.

Hemp rope, hemp paper, hemp fabric, Omega 3’s (essential fatty acids), high-quality plant-protein, etc. are just a few of the environmentally sustainable characteristics of this plant that is easily grown and has been used for many products for centuries throughout the world.

In fact, the lumber industry and the synthetic rope industry were two of the leading industries that lead the way to making the hemp plant made illegal, so they could eliminate their competition for paper and rope materials.

According to research at MIT:

“It was industry generated propaganda that got marijuana and industrial hemp demonized and then criminalized.

Du Pont Chemical Company had its hands in a lot of scandals, including the one to promote tetraethyl lead anti-knock fuel additive over the much safer alcohol additive option.

Much of the 3rd world is still suffering from this successful “partnership” of Dupont with Standard Oil (now Exxon) and GM.” (1)

These laws and programs outlawing environmentally friendly hemp in favor of timber for making paper, etc. has done incredible harm to the nation’s (world’s) forests and the Eco-system. “Logging increases fire… Logging has increased fire severity more than any other human activity. This is common sense. After all, logging removes the large trees that are most fire resistant.” (2)

“The effects of CBD in the body are broad and far-reaching. Thus far, the cannabinoid is known to also directly or indirectly affect the following:

• Vanilloid receptors (important for pain modulation)
• Adenosine receptors (important for the sleep-wake cycle)
• Serotonin receptors (important for mood and stress management)

Some rodent studies suggest that CBD may also work by blocking a particular fatty acid known as fatty-acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). The enzyme that’s responsible for breaking down the naturally occurring endocannabinoid anandamide in your body. Anandamide is also known as the “bliss molecule” or the human THC. It helps regulate basic functions like pleasure and reward, appetite, ovulation, memory, sleep, and pain.” (3)

“Pre-clinical studies of cannabinoids have investigated the following activities: Anti-tumor activity

• Studies in mice and rats have shown that cannabinoids may inhibit tumor growth by causing cell death, blocking cell growth, and blocking the development of blood vessels needed by tumors to grow. Laboratory and animal studies have shown that cannabinoids may be able to kill cancer cells while protecting normal cells.
• A study in mice showed that cannabinoids may protect against inflammation of the colon and may have potential in reducing the risk of colon cancer, and possibly in its treatment.
• A laboratory study of delta-9-THC in hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) cells showed that it damaged or killed the cancer cells. The same study of delta-9-THC in mouse models of liver cancer showed that it had antitumor effects. Delta-9-THC has been shown to cause these effects by acting on molecules that may also be found in non-small cell lung cancer cells and breast cancer cells.
• A laboratory study of cannabidiol (CBD) in estrogen receptor positive and estrogen receptor negative breast cancer cells showed that it caused cancer cell death while having little effect on normal breast cells. Studies in mouse models of metastatic breast cancer showed that cannabinoids may lessen the growth, number, and spread of tumors.
• A laboratory study of cannabidiol (CBD) in human glioma cells showed that when given along with chemotherapy, CBD may make chemotherapy more effective and increase cancer cell death without harming normal cells. Studies in mouse models of cancer showed that CBD together with delta-9-THC may make chemotherapy such as temozolomide more effective.” (4)

World Health Organization

Recently, Dec. 15, 2017, the World Health Organization came out with an announcement:

“A compound found in the cannabis plant is not harmful, has health benefits, and does not have abuse potential.

The WHO’s Expert Committee on Drug Dependence focused on cannabidiol, or CBD, one of the naturally occurring cannabinoids found in cannabis plants.

After reviewing evidence from animal and human studies, the committee concludes that “In humans, CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential.” (5)

Hemp (CBD) Oil

A hemp/ CBD oil I have found and personally use is approved by all US states and by all US government regulatory agencies.

This one utilizes a unique delivery system, which dramatically improves the bioavailability of the oil.

This particular one is Hemp Oil provides rapid uptake and bioavailability.

The product is an organic Dietary Supplement and contains hemp extract derived from the stalks and stems of the mature industrial hemp plant, which delivers healthful benefits, without having the psychoactive or “high” effect associated with this type of botanical.

100% Hemp Extract

Suggested Use: Take 1–4 pumps by mouth, holding for 30 seconds before swallowing.

Best taken on an empty stomach 10 minutes before meals and can be stirred into a small amount of water.

Once opened, use within 60 days. Store at room temperature, away from light.

The science behind oil being extracted is proving to be so effective and it’s based on the Human Endocannabinoid System.

This elaborate network is part of our immune system and when it is activated by taking phyto cannabinoid diols, humans (and animals) have better ability to fight, resist, and assist in repairing the mind and body.

The endocannabinoid system also includes the “cannabinoid receptors” or CB receptors that they bind to.

There are two major types of cannabinoid receptors in our bodies: CB1 and CB2.

Activation of the extracellular portion of these receptors causes conformational change and initiates intracellular biochemical reactions.

The vast number of cannabinoid receptors and their prevalence throughout the body suggests a multitude of promising therapeutic targets.

The CB1 receptors are primarily located on nerve cells in the brain, spinal cord, but they are also found in some peripheral organs and tissues such as the spleen, white blood cells, endocrine gland and parts of the reproductive, gastrointestinal and urinary tracts.

“In the brain, the CB1 receptors are abundant in the cerebellum, basal ganglia, hippocampus and dorsal primary afferent spinal cord regions, which is why cannabinoids influence functions such as memory processing, physical discomfort and motor control.” (6)

CB2 receptors

“The CB2 receptors are mainly found on white blood cells, in the tonsils and in the spleen. The immune cells also express CB1, although there are fewer of them than CB2. In the immune system, one important function of the cannabinoid receptors is the regulation of cytokine release.” (7)

This particular oil is Up to 10xs more absorbable than other oils.

“Liposomal delivery brings the power of intravenous therapy into convenient oral delivery. Typical absorption of Phytocannabinoid Diol oil is poor, with only about 10% uptake in the GI tract. Liposomal encapsulation of compounds similar to Phytocannabinoid Diol have been shown to increase absorption five to tenfold. Our high-grade LIPOSOMAL Phytocannabinoid Diol outperforms other products thanks to smaller, more stable, single-layer spheres made from the highest-grade ingredients available.” (8)

In conclusion, many clinical studies have shown that CBD benefits include anti-inflammatory, anti-convulsant, anti-oxidant, and anti-psychotic properties. There are encouraging trials with CBD oil being used as medicine for the treatment of neuroinflammation, epilepsy, oxidative stress, nausea, anxiety and schizophrenia.

Here is a link to a video of the world-renowned scientist tell about why this oil can be effective. Click here.

People also ask me why this company calls their Hemp oil, hemp oil and not CBD oil. What I understand is that a pharmaceutical company has developed a synthetic version of CBD oil and is getting the “CBD” trademarked and patented, so the government is shutting down any company that is using the “CBD” name. So beware of synthetic “CBD” oil being marketed.

Contact me, if you have any questions.

100% Hemp Extract is grown organically in Colorado.

This is the link for the hemp oil I use.

Tony Robbins uses the same hemp oil I use. He also loves their detox system so much that he made a video about it. Click here to view the video.

It’s been approved by all federal government regulatory agencies.

It is legal to be sold in all US states.
