GINGER BETTER THAN ASPIRIN?

I have written about ginger at least twice on this blog. Today I read an article by Robert McCarrison, cited as a pioneer by Wikipedia "McCarrison carried out the very first experiments to demonstrate the effect of nutrition on the epidemiology of disease." The article started with three things, two of which are food, you want to do for your liver since your liver is essential to health. One is to drink distilled water, preferably one gallon per day.  Second, eat sauerkraut.  And by the way, these are not in hierarchical order of importance.  All three need to be done.  And third, eat red beets.  There it is. That's how to take care of your liver: drink distilled water, eat red beets, and eat sauerkraut. Now onto ginger.  Ginger came up in connection with heart health.  So those of you who are looking to maximize your heart's energy and efficiency, listen up. Ginger is great for blood circulation.  I have never tried the plant ginkgo biloba.  I have tried the supplement, most of which are very weak.  The best brand I ever consumed of ginkgo biloba is Trader Joe's brand.  But they discontinued it several years ago.  No worries.  Instead of ginkgo, try ginger.  I have already begun to notice the difference after only one day of consuming ginger.  My heart rate is settled.  My sleep is incredible.  My waking hours are more productive.  I am not making this stuff up.  I am merely documenting my experience.  I have no stocks or portfolio in ginger farms, so I have no conflict of interest.  Ginger does work. The article states that "The second concern with your aging heart is to prevent blood clots, which can cause a heart attack or stroke, as your arteries become less flexible and accumulate deposits. The normal treatment is to take aspirin or anti-clotting drugs, but both of these have undesirable side effects.  The best natural treatment is ginger!" Natural foods all have their anti-oxidants.  Ginger has its anti-oxidants.  Three of its well-known anti-oxidants are gingerol, shogaol, and zingerone.  Wow.  They all sound like they were names given by young lab technicians in a 6th-grade laboratory experiment on ginger.  Too funny.   HOW ABOUT NAUSEA? "Even some pharmaceuticals will recommend [ginger] for nausea and vomiting. For faster absorption, it can be held in the mouth and allowed to sink through the tissues into the bloodstream.  Ginger pills can be purchased cheaply from health food stores.  The media and medical establishment expressed shock when ginger was successfully used to eliminate nausea from chemotherapy poisoning. It is very effective." GINGER HEALS from nstarzone.com.  Ginger has an extremely high level of phytochemicals, plant substances with a healing effect.  In addition to its beneficial effects on the heart and its anti-cancer activity are its anti-inflammatory effects and its high content of antioxidants. The healing ingredients are a variety of volatile essential oils, vitamins B6 and C, and the minerals calcium, magnesium, sulfur, phosphorus, and potassium.  Ginger stimulates body heat.  It speeds up blood circulation and sweating; it promotes both the supply of nurturing and healing substances with the blood and the removal of waste material through perspiration.  Ginger brings blood to the surface of the body and therefore it is a good cure for chilblains.  Ginger will stimulate fever in people who need to sweat out diseases like colds and flues.  It works as an anti-inflammatory, and in combination with its heat-stimulating characteristics, it is a powerful tool in fighting arthritis.  If you suffer from stiff or aching muscles, treat yourself to a hot bath with slices of ginger.
