Unblocking Arteries, naturally
Pomegranate juice, already noted for its abundant antioxidants and help with prostate cancer, and preventing the oxidation of LDL, "bad" cholesterol in the arteries, was found to unblock blocked arteries, by as much as 35% in as little as three months. According to a major peer reviewed study, a shot glass of pomegranate juice was all it took to get these impressive benefits, alleviating surgery in several cases. Bypass surgery and angioplasty run risks of stroke and brain damage. Angioplasty may not last longer than a few years.
It is unkown whether pomegranate extract in pills is as effective.
Plastics & Cancer-
The connection between cancer and plastic particles was discovered way back in 1987 at Tufts University when researchers were culturing cancer cells in plastic test tubes. They noticed that chemicals leaching into the cells caused major growth! Some forms of plstic are now considered safer than others.
You can tell which ones are safest by looking at the recycling numbers at the bottom of the container. Containers with a 1 or 2 on the bottom are the safest. These include water containers, and milk containers. The higher the numbers the more dangerous the plastic is. In all cases, no plastics should ever be used in the microwave.
Containers with the numbers: 3, 6, or 7 on the bottom are the most dangerous of all as they contain a volatile chemical called BPA which should be avoided at all costs.
Warts & Immunity
Most of you know that warts are caused by a virus, but do not realize that they are signs of a faulty immune system. Recent research has demonstrated that warts can be successfully treated with immune boosting antiviral supplements such as garlic. I have also learned that recurrent warts are due to imbalances in the gut bacteria and do not recur after those imbalances have been dealt with successfully.

Ginger herb - a culinary staple of Chinese cooking and part of many herbal prescriptions and teas has been found to act as an important blood thinner and anti clumping agent improving circulation and cardiovascular health. Ginger is also an important anti inflammatory relieving pain and inflammation due to injury, arthritis, or trauma and has important properties for digestional health. Ginger has also been found to be more effective than medication for motion sickness, and the resulting dizziness and nausea.
Memory Problems-
Chinese Club Moss has been found to boost levels of an important brain chemical called acetylcholine. Mechanism of actions includes: protecting the brain from free radical damage, increasing blood flow even more effectively than Gingko, and reducing the formation of amyloid plaque, a protein thought to be responsible for Alzheimer's disease...more about that in upcoming issues...stay tuned. In any event this supplement has been shown to work more effectively than the prescription drugs including Aricept and Cognex on the market without the side effects. Since, there may be interactions it is important that you be supervised by someone proficient in natural supplements.
Caffeine and High Blood Pressure....
You've heard for years that drinking coffee raises blood pressure, well guess what....it doesn't, but something else does....!
- A recent study set out to prove the relationship between coffee and high blood pressure. Based on a sample size of 155,000 people people with no history of hypertension were tracked for 12 years. Here's what they found:
- Drinking coffee had no effect on blood pressure but drinking caffeinated soft drinks did.
People drinking regular or diet sodas experienced 44% greater risk of developing blood pressure problems.
Since neither soda nor diet soda has any nutritional value, so obviously you should skip both. If you need caffeine, as a pick me up, drink coffee or tea both of which have major nutritional & health benefits.
