Turmeric: The Spice

GreenMedInfo is really pushing the benefits of turmeric, touting that the spice has "600 experimentally confirmed health benefits."  Sayer Ji, the founder of GreenMedInfo, produced a video highlighting the archives on his site for all things turmeric.




In fact, he's got 1,800 per reviewed studies and abstracts at his site. Interesting.  



So how effective is turmeric in addressing specific conditions or diseases? Can't say for sure.  Everything I read says that turmeric is the number one spice for treating heart attacks to viral infections to brain injuries.  That's quite a scope of ailments.  I know that when I consume turmeric and combine it with ginger in my morning milk, turning it into a morning turmeric milkshake, my stomach feels better.  Or at least I think that is what is happening.  I'd like to think that my stomach is the center of my overall health and that as such if it feels stronger and well, all other organs in my body from feet to brain are doing better as well.  I can hope, can't I?

One recent article, thought it's not so recent, cites specific compounds within turmeric that are capable of increasing the number of neurons. That's what he says:
The study [conducted by researchers at the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine in Julich, Germany] found that when brain cells were exposed to ar-tumerone, neural stem cells increased in number through enhanced proliferation.  Moreover, these newly formed neural stem cells also increased the number of fully differentiated neuronal cells, indicating a healing effect was taking place. This effect was also observed in a live animal model, showing that rats injected with ar-tumerone into their brains experienced increases in neural stem cell proliferation and the creation of newly formed healthy brain cells.
That sounds hopeful.  But what does that mean and what was the percentage of increase, 1%, 5%, 25%, 50%?  And what parts of the brain did the study find is responsible for neural repair?  

WHAT'S THE BEST FORM OF TURMERIC TO TAKE?
Sayer Ji explains:

For instance, if you have colonic inflammation or polyps, and you are trying to use turmeric to reduce inflammation there or regress precancerous growths, then using the whole plant is best versus a highly bioavailable form of curcumin in capsule form (e.g. Meriva), for instance, which will likely be absorbed by the small intestine and mostly pass through the liver never getting adequate quantities to the large intestine. So, in this person's case taking a teaspoon of relatively difficult to absorb turmeric may result in painting the diseased surfaces of that person's intestinal or colonic lumen with exactly the form needed to reverse disease. 

Again, promising news on how turmeric can treat cancer.  But what about the brain?  

But what if you have someone who wants to experience a systemic effect, say, for arthritis or for brain cancer? In these instances, getting turmeric compounds such as curcumin through the glucuronidation barrier in the liver with a phospholipid-bound or black pepper (piperine) combination could be ideal.

INCORPORATE TURMERIC INTO YOUR DIET: IT'S BETTER FOR YOU THIS WAY
Ultimately, the goal is not to wait to have such a serious health problem that you have to force yourself to take a 'heroic dose' of any herb or food extract. Better is to use small amounts in culinary doses in combination with ingredients that synergize on a physiochemical/informational and sensual basis (producing the all important vitamin P [pleasure] as well!). Recently we actually featured a study that showed culinary doses of rosemary helped improve memory whereas higher 'heroic' doses impaired it!
This is why exploring the use of turmeric in curries, or by adding a pinch in a smoothie, may be an ideal daily supplementation approach, versus capsules, whose questionably 'natural' capsules and excipients all can add up to cause some stress on the liver you are trying to protect with these natural interventions.  Just remember quality is everything and less is more!

77 Uses of Hydrogen Peroxide?

from Smevrything 

It’s the liquid you pour onto your finger after you accidentally cut yourself while doing the dishes. It’s what you use to disinfect your child’s knee after a fall, but did you know that there are so many other uses for hydrogen peroxide?

Maybe you’ve recognized it by its chemical formula, which is H2O2. In the purest form, it’s a colorless liquid, and it’s just a bit more viscous than water. Some of the most popular hydrogen peroxide uses involve disinfecting, bleaching and oxidizing.

In fact, if you know someone who listens to the famous rapper, Eminem, maybe they told you that he used hydrogen peroxide to bleach his hair! You can think of hydrogen peroxide as being water that is equipped with an additional oxygen atom. The truth is that these two compounds are very different.

Fact: Pure hydrogen peroxide will actually explode if you heat it to its boiling point.
For this reason, most household products contain a diluted solution of the chemical. The majority of household solutions containing HP have as little as 3 to 5 percent of the active chemical in them.

A lot of people don’t know that the fizzing that you see when you pour HP onto a cut is actually H2O2 bonds breaking apart. The bubbles are really just free oxygen molecules.

While the science is quite fascinating, the practice uses of hydrogen peroxide are even better! Let’s dive right into the exciting world of HP and see what it can do for you!

Note: The term “HP” used in this article is just a shorter way of saying “hydrogen peroxide”. Also, the majority of these “uses’ should be carried out using a 3%, standard-grade purity of HP.
The Complete List

1) Eliminate Viruses. You can use about three drops of 3 percent HP in each of your ears. Some experts say doing this can greatly reduce the duration of the flu and cold. Once you apply the drops of HP, let the HP sit for about 10 minutes before allowing it to drain. Another benefit is that it will take the ear wax with it!

2) Get rid of pesticides. Most fresh vegetables are produced using spray pesticides. These are harmful chemicals that you don’t want to consume. Add about ¼ a cup of HP to a bowl with 3 cups of water and allow your vegetables to soak in it for about 30 minutes. Rinse the veggies well and stick them in the refrigerator for a while. You obviously want to make sure the vegetables don’t have any open wounds that will soak up the HP/water solution.

3) Get rids of airborne germs. If you have a humidifier, you can mix 1 pint of 3 percent HP with one gallon of water and add it to your humidifier. Let the humidifier run until the mixture is depleted. The disinfectant and antibacterial properties of the liquid will eliminate airborne germs.

4) Whiten Your Teeth. In case you didn’t know, the active ingredient in most teeth whitening products is HP. It can whiten your teeth naturally by oxygenating the surface of your teeth. First, brush your teeth normally with toothpaste. Next, mix 2 teaspoons of water with 1 teaspoon of 3 percent HP. Swish this mixture around in your mouth for up to 60 seconds but make sure you don’t swallow any of it. When you’re finished, rinse your mouth with water and do this up to three times a week.

5) Bleach toe and finger nails. To do this, all you need to do is place your toes or finger tips into some HP. Just use your standard diluted HP product that you would buy from the store. You can pour it into a small container or bowl.

6) Bleach hair. When compared with other household bleaching agents, HP is milder, so you can use it to bleach your hair.

7) Create hair highlights. Just spray some HP onto damp hair, and it will give you sun-bleached highlights. You need to allow it to sit on the hair for up to 15 minutes before you rinse it away.

8) Rejuvenate and detox your body. You can soak in a bath with some HP, and it will rejuvenate and detox your body. All you need to do is pour 1 cup of 35 percent HP into a tub of water. Just soak in the tub for about a half an hour, and you’ll feel the benefits of the HP.

9) Eliminate stuffy sinuses. When your sinuses are stuffy, it can be painful. Unclog them with a homemade nasal solution containing HP. In most cases, you can mix 1 cup of water with 1 cap full of HP. If your sinuses are really stuffed, you might consider a slightly more concentrated mixture of HP.

10) Stop toothache pain. We’ve all had a toothache at some point in our lives, so you know how painful they can be. To soothe some of the pain, you can gargle a mixture of coconut oil and HP. The antibacterial properties of HP help to eliminate the bacteria that are causing the toothache pain.

11) Disinfect wounds. HP works very well to disinfect most small wounds. In most cases, a small cap full of a standard 3 percent solution will do the trick. Just pour the liquid directly onto the wound.

12) Make an antiseptic mouth rinse. It’s true that HP can whiten your teeth, but it’s also effective as a mouth wash. Just mix 1 cup of water with about 2 caps full of HP.

13) Eliminate acne. Most of us have had acne at some point. If you’re a female, you know that acne can be especially degrading. You can create a face rinse that can clear up acne. The face wash will eliminate the germs that cause acne breakouts.

14) Get rid of boils. You can use HP to get rid of boils. Just fill up your bathtub with water and a single cup of 35 percent HP. This mixture of bath water and HP will treat boils, but it will also rejuvenate and detoxify your body.

15) Soften calluses and corns. If you need to soften calluses and corns to get rid of them, just soak them in a mixture of equal parts HP and warm water. This mixture will naturally soften most corns and calluses.

16) Get wax out of your ear. Most people have an enormous buildup of wax in their ear and don’t even know it. Get rid of it with 2 drops of HP in each ear. After adding the HP to one ear at a time, add a couple drops of olive oil. Wait a couple of minutes and drain the solution out of the ear. Most of the wax will flow out with the HP.

17) Prevent the dreaded swimmer’s ear. Also known as swimmer’s ear, a typical ear infection is no fun! To get rid of it, just mix a 1 cap of HP with some vinegar in a small dropper bottle. After swimming, just apply a few drops of this solution to each ear to prevent infection.

18) Get relief from ear infections. By applying about 8 drops of HP to an infected ear, you can ease many of the symptoms and clear the infection out.

19) Eliminate skin mites. A lot of people suffer from skin mites. You can use HP to kill them off. All you need to do is spray some HP on the affected skin. Repeat this process a few times after a few minutes, and it will kill skin mites.

20) Get rid of foot fungus. Just mix some HP with water inside of a darkened bottle. The bottle needs to be darkened because HP isn’t supposed to be exposed to sunlight. All you need to do is apply the mixture to foot fungus. It’s usually best to use equal parts 3 percent HP and water for the solution.

21) Make a marinade for poultry, fish or meat. You can actually marinade these food items by placing them inside a casserole that contains equal parts water and HP. The casserole should be loosely covered and refrigerated for about 30 minutes. Make sure to rinse the items before cooking.

22) Grow mushrooms. Did you know you can use HP to grow oyster mushrooms inside your refrigerator? All you need is 1 gallon of diluted HP and freezer bags. Keep in mind that it can take about 6 months to grow oyster mushrooms using this method, but the results are usually worth the wait.

23) Disinfect your toothbrush. If you want to maintain optimal oral hygiene, you need to make sure your toothbrushes are clean. You can disinfect a toothbrush by soaking it in HP. It will kill all of the bacteria that are known to thrive in the bathroom.

24) Remove stubborn stains from clothing. One of the most difficult stains to remove from clothing is blood. You can pour some HP directly onto the stain, allow it to sit for about 1 minute and rinse it off using cold water. If the stain still remains, you can repeat the process as needed.

25) Control the growth of fungus in aquariums. If you own an aquarium, this is a brilliant way to use HP. You’ll have to check elsewhere to find the exact instructions, and you’ll also need to be careful because you don’t want to harm your fish.

26) Make an emetic for household pets. It’s not uncommon for dogs and cats to feel ill after eating certain foods that they shouldn’t have eaten. HP is great because it induces vomiting. This also works well if your cat or dog has swallowed something they shouldn’t have swallowed because it will make them throw it up.

27) Use as a dishwasher detergent. While it’s not a perfect substitute for dishwasher liquid, HP is always an option. You can make the last of your dishwasher detergent last longer by mixing some HP with it.

28) Create an all-purpose cleaner. Most people understand that your typical all-purpose cleaner can get expensive. Just fill a spray bottle with a diluted mixture of HP and use it to clean almost anything.

29) Clean your contact lenses. If you wear contact lenses, then you can clean them with HP. Just soak your contacts into a diluted solution of HP overnight. It will get rid of protein buildup and make them ready to wear the next day.

30) Make laundry whiter. Over a long period of time, you’ll notice that your laundry items can get dingy and yellow. Just add 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide to the wash and let the laundry soak for 30 minutes.

31) Remove organic stains. Sweat, blood, wine and coffee are all considered organic stains, and they can be difficult to remove. Just make a mixture of 1 part dish detergent with two parts HP and apply the mixture to the stains. However, it’s important to remember that HP can actually bleach darker colored fabrics, so you need to be careful with what you use it on.

32) Eliminate undesirable odors. Over a period of time, your fabrics can get bogged down with odors. Just make a mixture of white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide and soak the fabrics in it. All of the unpleasant odors will be removed.

33) Clean carpets and rugs. A number of homeowners use HP to clean dirty carpets and rugs. It’s especially useful on light carpets because it can actually bleach darker colors. All you need to do is spray a diluted solution onto the rug or carpet and clean it as you normally would. Always do a spot test beforehand to make sure it won’t bleach the fabric.

34) Disinfect your lunchbox. It’s true that lunchboxes can accumulate a lot of bacteria. All you need to do is spray your lunchbox with a diluted solution of HP. Let the hydrogen peroxide solution sit for a few minutes; wipe it away.

Hydrogen Peroxide Facts
Now that you’ve seen the list – you know what this amazing liquid is capable of. Do you know that it’s also found in ALL living materials? Did you know that the white blood cells inside of your body produce it naturally?

Fruits and veggies also produce it naturally, which is why your doctor is always telling you to eat more of them. During a mother’s first milk, huge amounts of hydrogen peroxide are transferred to a baby, which boosts the immune system. This incredible compound is even found in rainwater.
You might also like to know that you can add HP to water, and it will oxygenate the water. This is a nifty technique that you can use when transferring fish from one location to another. It will add oxygen to the water, so the fish will be far more comfortable.

The disinfectant qualities of HP have made it a household staple for many years, and it’s difficult to find a household first-aid kit that doesn’t have a bottle of it. If you haven’t already, go and start enjoying the benefits that 
hydrogen peroxide has to offer!

[Bob Wenzel on the Obamacare connected and pending disasters.]
In response to the Supreme Court decision in favor of Obamacare subsidies, which will benefit the crony healthcare system, crony healthcare insurance and provider stocks surged today.

Hospital stocks soared 13.19% and HMOs climbed 6.88%. Large cap pharmaceutical company stocks, and generic drug manufacturer stocks were up fractionally.

Aetna closed up 3.99%, United Health +2.65%, Cigna +2.43%, Humana +7.13%, Universal Health +7.73%, Community Health Systems +12.97% and HCA Holding +8.82%.

In contrast, the market overall was down today:




  -RW




Younger, healthier workers will have to subsidize older, sicker workers. This should be fun to see how this will play out. I can imagine muggings by young people of the elderly. Just because. Obamacare is a dangerous policy.  Can also imagine older workers a lot more expendable.
Deep Tissue Massage Heals Internal Scar Tissue?
You may benefit from using deep tissue massage to break down internal scar tissue, also called lesions. In order to reach deep lesions, the massage must penetrate the area with scar tissue. Often the massage itself initially causes pain. While deep tissue massage won't relax your body like a Swedish massage, it does release toxins, increase blood circulation and decrease inflammation. Along with breaking down scar tissue, a deep tissue massage works to eliminate crystallization, restore muscle tone and help chemically balance the body.
Livestrong author claims that deep tissue massage can heal internal scar tissue. 


Ouch!  

You may benefit from using deep tissue massage to break down internal scar tissue, also called lesions. In order to reach deep lesions, the massage must penetrate the area with scar tissue. Often the massage itself initially causes pain. While deep tissue massage won't relax your body like a Swedish massage, it does release toxins, increase blood circulation and decrease inflammation. Along with breaking down scar tissue, a deep tissue massage works to eliminate crystallization, restore muscle tone and help chemically balance the body.

Scar Tissue Connects Organs
Internal scar tissue affects every part of your body including your organs, muscles and connective tissue. Scar tissue forms when the body undergoes trauma or inflammation of your cells and tissue. In some cases, scar tissues link to form an adhesion, which is a band of scar tissue. The adhesion connects two internal parts, which may restrict movement or hinder things like organs from performing their intended functions. Often people with adhesions experience no symptoms or complications. For those who do suffer from adhesions, doctors may perform surgery to remedy the situation.
Break Down Scar Tissue
You may benefit from using deep tissue massage to break down internal scar tissue, also called lesions. In order to reach deep lesions, the massage must penetrate the area with scar tissue. Often the massage itself initially causes pain. While deep tissue massage won't relax your body like a Swedish massage, it does release toxins, increase blood circulation and decrease inflammation. Along with breaking down scar tissue, a deep tissue massage works to eliminate crystallization, restore muscle tone and help chemically balance the body.
Heal Old Wounds
The body forms scars as a way of repairing damage, so allow your body 6 to 12 weeks to heal before beginning any type treatment for scar tissue. Some treatment centers won't agree to work on scar tissue younger than 12 weeks without a doctor's release. Studies show that treatments help with scar tissue 20 to 30 years old, which means you don't need to rush the healing process.
Release the Trigger
Myofascial Release (MFR) is a non-invasive collection of techniques designed to treat problems in the fascia, a net-like membrane that surrounds and separates internal systems like nerves, muscles and organs. Scar tissue binds the fascia together preventing it from functioning. In MFR, therapists use cross-hand stretches, skin rolling, deep stretches and trigger point release to increase hydration, separate the fascia, restore elasticity and decrease compression. Trigger points indicate areas in the body where fibers contract irregularly. The trigger point generally radiates pain and may cause secondary trigger points to develop, further restricting fascia.
Fight Scar Tissue Naturally
Using a variety of herbal remedies often helps dissolve or repair scar tissue. 400 to 800 IU of vitamin E twice daily along with 1,000 mg of vitamin C promotes healing of collagen and connective tissue. Bioflavonoids like hesperetin, quercetin and rutin help the body absorb vitamin C. Thiosinaminum, calcium fluoroide, causticum and graphites also repair scar tissue damage. Depending on the cause of scar tissue, you may respond better to different treatments, so you may need to experiment to find the best combination of herbs.  

There are places in Los Angeles to get a deep tissue massage.  Check out the list from Yelp and call places near you, check for prices and hours.  Get some healin'.
