Happy Valentine's Day!  February is National Heart Health Month!  Following are the best herbs for cardiovascular wellness.

 

Cinnamon's Blood-Sugar Lowering Powers

Though often reserved for pastries, cinnamon is one of the powerful healing herbs and spices that deserves more widespread use in the kitchen. For people with Type II Diabetes,not only does it help lower blood sugar by supporting insulin sensitivity and function, but cinnamon is very impressive when it comes to antioxidant potential. In fact, scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), listed ground cinnamon as one of the top healing herbs and spices for increasing antioxidant levels in the blood (other noteworthy spices include ground cloves, and dried oregano, rosemary, thyme, and turmeric).

The Anti-Inflammatory and Healing Power of Garlic

A powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agent, this alleged vampire repellant has a long history in folk medicine. Almost 2,500 years ago, Hippocrates recommended using garlic to treat wounds, infections, leprosy, cancer and digestive disorders. Later, in the 20th century, garlic earned its reputation as “Russian Penicillin,” because Russian army physicians often successfully used garlic to control infection and gastrointestinal disorders throughout World Wars I and II.

Today, cardiologists often recommend garlic to promote cardiovascular health. Garlic, one of the most healthy herbs and spices in the world, is both a powerful antioxidant and blood thinner. It is commonly recommended as a cholesterol-lowering agent, and has been shown to help lower triglycerides – blood fats that are closely linked to heart disease. Garlic can even lower blood pressure as effectively as some drugs (as shown in studies where subjects supplemented with daily dosages ranging from 600 - 900 mg over a period of 3-6 months.

This incredible herb also helps safeguard against cancers, especially those of the stomach, colon and ovaries, and it can knock out the Borrelia bacteria responsible for Lyme disease. Eating or supplementing with garlic is also a great way to get more sulfur in our diets. An important and largely ignored mineral, sulfur helps us build muscle and connective tissue, contains enzymes important for countless chemical reactions and shields us against toxicity and oxidative stress.

Ginger's Natural Blood-Thinning and Anti-Inflammatory Benefits

Like garlic, ginger is also a natural blood thinner it is often referred to as “smart man's aspirin.” Ginger is also commonly used as a digestive aid and is particularly helpful for treating nausea, especially if due to motion sickness or medications like codeine or morphine.

You can get your daily ginger dose in a few ways. Peel and grate or chop ginger root and add it to sauces, stir-fries, soups and even fruit and vegetable drinks. You can also make ginger tea from the root and drink it hot or cold; try it plain or with honey and lemon. If you don't have the time to prepare your own ginger meals and drinks, you can also takeaginger supplement.

Since garlic and ginger can thin the blood much like aspirin, patients taking pharmaceutical blood thinners like Coumadin (warfarin) should consult with their doctors about how much of these herbs they consume in food or supplement form.

Turmeric/Curcumin a Heart-Healing Spice

Turmeric, the spice which gives yellow curry powder its distinctive color, contains a compound called curcumin, which has powerful healing potential. Some researchers believe the predominance of curry in the Indian diet explains why there is so little arthritis or Alzheimer's disease there, compared with the U.S. Curcumin has a long history as an anti-inflammatory agent in Chinese and Indian medicine, and has proven itself in numerous clinical studies.

As an effective antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound, curcumin helps protect against cancer and enhances cardiovascular health. Not only does curcumin help support healthy blood pressure and prevent blood clots, but it can raise HDL cholesterol levels by almost 30 percent. Additionally, researchers in Japan have found that curcumin helps prevent cardiac hypertrophy (enlargement of the heart chambers) associated with heart failure. Clearly this is another of the healthy herbs and spices you want to consume.

Cayenne's Herbal Healing Benefits

Widely used to give meals some extra punch, cayenne peppers have also been utilized as an herbal medicine. C This healthy herb can help provide relief from stomach aches and gas. When mixed with water it can be gargled to help combat sore throats. Rubbing it on the skin can also bring temporary relief of arthritic pain and muscle aches, not a surprise since the key medicinal compound in cayenne – capsaicin – also happens to be the main ingredient in various over-the-counter creams which ease muscle and joint pain.

Cilantro Can Lower Cardiovascular Risks

Although cilantro and coriander are different names for the same plant, most people associate cilantro with the leaves and coriander with the seeds. Both forms of this plantare commonly found in Chinese, Mexican and Indian cuisines.

High in beta-carotene, cilantro is a healthy herb that can help lower risk of cardiovascular events and prostate cancer, and increase one's immunity to colds and flu. As a powerful detoxifying agent, cilantro is also used to help chelate mercury from the body. As such, it is especially beneficial for diabetics, who produce more toxic metabolites due to compromised metabolism.

If you have ever experienced sciatica you know that it is absolutely excruciating.  Nerve pain of any kind is extremely painful and can take months to truly settle down.

The sciatic nerve is the largest single nerve in the human body; it runs from each side of the lower spine through deep in the buttock into the back of the thigh and all the way down to the foot.

It serves a vital role in connecting the spinal cord with the leg and foot muscles.

Sciatic nerve pain is very common and if is not treated in time, the pain can reach a higher level of intensity which can be completely immobilizing that is why it is recommended to receive treatment sooner rather than later.  I perform acupuncture regularly for sciatica and it works wonderfully.  I find that sciatica usually stems from overwork and weakness in the body causing the discs of the spinal column to become unstable, shift, and ultimately press on the sciatic nerve.  Treatment is necessary to correct all this but sometimes it is impossible to get into the clinic on an emergency basis.

Luckily, there is a natural remedy, garlic milk that can help you to reduce the pain as well the inflammation of sciatica.  This remedy can be prepared at home with things you probably have on hand.

Ingredients:
– 5 cloves garlic

– Honey

– 1 cup almond or rice milk

Preparation:
Remove the peel from the garlic.

Once you have done that you will prepare a garlic puree, mix it with the vegetable milk of your choice and then add the honey.

All this should be mixed well until you get a homogeneous substance.

Use:
This remedy can be taken either cold or hot, and it is advisable to ingest 8 ounces of garlic milk per day. This amount can be divided into two parts.

It is important to know that this treatment does not replace any medicine recommended by a specialist or treatment as it will recur if the cause isn't addressed and remedied.

Garlic milk has a lot of vitamins A, B1, B2, B6 and C, and minerals like potassium, phosphorus, manganese, calcium, zinc, selenium and copper, plus proteins, flavonoids , enzymes and antioxidants so it helps us treat diseases such as asthma, also controls cough, regulates cholesterol, relieves fatty liver and strengthens our immune system.  Friday, you should receive my special report on how to stave off the flu that is going around.

A study on 226 cancer patients from 11 different cancer centers across the United States, researchers funded by the National Cancer Institute showed that acupuncture is especially useful in treating the pain caused by a popular class of breast cancer drugs. As the researchers explained on Thursday at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, the side effects of these drugs aromatase inhibitors  include serious joint pain and stiffness, making it especially hard for these patients to perform simple motions, like walking, sitting, and driving. Acupuncture, the study shows, could be the solution to relieving this pain, which affects tens of thousands of women across America.

 

“This work strongly shows that true acupuncture results in better outcomes for women,” said study co-investigator and Columbia University Irving Medical Center professor of medicine and epidemiology Dr. Katherine Crew, in a statement.

“I expect this work to influence medical practice, as well as insurers' willingness to reimburse for acupuncture during [aromatase inhibitor] treatment.”

Acupuncture is considered a form of complementary medicine as mainstream scientists are still not sure how it works.

 

Some argue that pain relief from acupuncture is simply the placebo effect, but lack of data has made it difficult to argue one way or the other. Part of the reason there are so few legitimate large-scale scientific studies on acupuncture is because it's very hard to do controlled trials. It's not easy, after all, for scientists to give a “fake” treatment to a control group when the treatment involves sticking needles into their body.

The scientists in this trial, however, used a “sham” acupuncture method that involved inserting needles superficially into parts of the body that aren't considered therapeutic. Twice a week for six weeks, a third of the 226 patients in the study received the sham treatment, another third received actual acupuncture, and the rest got no treatment at all.

After an additional six weeks of maintenance treatment, the patients reported on how much pain they'd felt over the course of the trial. On average, the patients who received the real acupuncture treatment felt less pain than those in the other two groups, and the relief lasted for an average of 24 weeks.

Some scientists suspect that acupuncture works in a similar way to painkiller drugs.

These encouraging results make acupuncture an increasingly legitimate option for people suffering from this particular type of pain. It's especially useful in this case because many patients already taking aromatase inhibitor drugs for their breast cancer don't want to add painkiller or opioid drugs to their treatment regimens.

 

Whether scientists will be able to show that acupuncture is useful for other types of pain remains to be seen. Despite its positive effects over thousands of years, acupuncture and its actual impact on human physiology still remains a mystery to mainstream scientists.

Some scientists suspect it activates our pain-relieving centers in the same way that painkilling drugs do. In a previous interview with Inverse, Dr. Elizabeth Manejias of the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, a doctor of sports medicine and physiatrist, explained that acupuncture “activates local nerve fibers around the ankle joint, for example, but then it also sends signals through the spinal cord to your brain, and it activates centers in your central nervous system.” Once they're activated, those parts of the nervous system are thought to release endorphins, which block pain signals in the brain.

As the opioid painkiller crisis continues to mount, the need for an alternative form of pain relief increases every day. Acupuncture is a very viable and fast treatment option for all types of pain.  I have practiced acupuncture for 10 years and have never been disappointed in its efficacy.  Please contact me for a free consultation to learn more about how acupuncture treatments may benefit you.

                                10 Signs of Chronic Kidney Trouble

 

 

In Chinese Medicine theory, the kidney is considered the root of the body's health.  When the kidney is depleted, chronic health disorders surface. 

 

 

Here are several signs you are headed for problems, some more serious than others…

 

 

Metal taste in the mouth: a build up of wastes may cause foods to taste differently. This is a serious sign something is quite wrong.

 

 

Frequent Urination: pale, large amounts of urine  getting up frequently through the night.

 

 

Bubbly or foamy urine: Due to the kidney not filtering protein properly.

 

 

Fatigue: Healthy kidneys make a hormone called erythropoietin EPO, when not functioning properly, or when kidneys fail they make less EPO meaning you have less red blood cells carrying oxygen through your body and brain.

 

 

Shortness of Breath:  Due to two reasons, extra fluid in the lungs,  and the lack of EPO above leaving the body starved of oxygen.

 

 

Itchiness: The build up of blood wastes can lead to very itchy skin

 

 

Puffy hands and feet: weak or failing kidneys do not remove extra fluid which leads to swollen hands and feet.

 

 

Swollen or puffy face: as above…

 

 

Nausea or vomiting, poor appetite: a build up of unfiltrated wastes will lead to this symptom.

Dizziness or weakness, due to your brain not getting enough oxygen.

 

 

In Chinese medical theory an early sign of kidney imbalance is lower  back and knee pain.

If you have any of these signs or symptoms it is very, very important to get treatment. Please contact me if I can assist you in strengthening this organ and your health!  FREE consultation. We are offering a new patient special this month.  Winter is a wonderful season to strengthen this organ. Chinese herbs and tonics are brilliant in this regard and acupuncture can be extremely helpful as well.

 

 

Join me next week for a discussion about a large scale acupuncture study.  You do not want to miss this.  Sign UP! Also, visit our store for great products, prices, discounts and FREE shipping on hundreds of professional products.

The Journal of the American Medical Association published in November  has found that THIS, taken by 60% of people over 65-years-old, may be killing a significant number of senior citizens.

 

 

Sharyl Attkisson, a former investigative journalist for CBS, reported the study shows there is no improvement in mortality rates among senior citizens who get flu shots, and may actually contribute to increased ill-health and death.

 The study “got little attention,” she says, “because the science came down on the wrong side.” Whereas the researchers had set out to prove that the push for massive flu vaccination would save the world, the researchers were “astonished” to find that the data did not support their presupposition at all. The data actually shows that deaths increased, not decreased, among seniors following vaccination.


Johns Hopkins scientist, Peter Doshi, Ph.D., issued a report in the prestigious British Medical Journal asserting that the CDC policy of routinely recommending the flu vaccine is actually based on “low quality studies that do not substantiate claims.” He says there is no evidence that the vaccine reduces deaths among senior citizens. Interestingly, Doshi cites an Australian study which found significant risks for children as well, stating that “one in every 110 children under the age of five had convulsions following vaccinations in 2009 for H1N1 influenza.”


During the drug trials for the Fluzone flu vaccine, 23 seniors out of 3,833 died after receiving the shot, according to the drug's package insert, reported by other news agencies. Another 226 experienced “serious adverse effects.” The manufacturer denies any connection between the deaths and the flu vaccine.


Seniors Told Get Flu Vaccine


There appears to be growing public skepticism that the flu vaccine is as beneficial as the experts say. This level of doubt is strongly correlated to the incidence of accounts of research fraud in the vaccine industry, an industry which makes billions of dollars of profit every year.


Often when an article about the dangers of a vaccine comes out, there are people who write in to tell about a family member who was harmed by the vaccine, and the flu vaccine for senior citizens in no exception. A number of people have written to report that their grandmother, or uncle, or brother died shortly after getting a flu shot, sometimes after receiving their first ever such shot. Their stories are frequently minimized, yet the government pays out more compensation from the flu vaccine than any other vaccine.


Despite this, it is expected that senior citizens will line up for their annual flu shot.


A nursing home near Atlanta, Georgia, now reports  devastating outcomes to such a policy, according to Health Impact News. All of the residents of the Hope Assisted Living & Memory Care were given a flu vaccine on Friday, November 7. Each one of the senior citizens developed an immediate fever. Within the week following, five of them had died. The source reports that the facility's typical pattern is one or two losses every six months, frequently due to Alzheimer's.

The facility is not saying they are related to the flu shot but …


Questions must be asked, then, such as: do the benefits of getting a flu vaccine outweigh the risks, especially among vulnerable senior citizens??  I guess the real question is how many senior citizens die of influenza, who are not immunized versus those who are…that is the million dollar question….

 

 

Of course, there are many natural alternatives available to flu vaccinations.  Many, many herbs have an anti viral effect. Visit our immune boosters in my store! FREE Shipping!  Boosting the immune system in various ways is very effective in warding off flu.  Also, regular moxibustion treatments, which I perform on clients throughout the cold season are miraculous at preventing flu! Should you wish to do this naturally, please contact us for an appointment. We are offering $25 off until January 31st, based on availability. Also, simple dietary changes such as eating shitake mushrooms can have a great effect on the immune system.  Next week I will discuss 10 signs of chronic kidney disorders...the kidney organ is the root of health in Chinese Medicine. SignUP so you don't miss it.  Also "like" my facebook page for great health tips.

There are several thousand natural remedies for better sleep and one of the latest discoveries by scientists is pointing to a new cause behind those sleepless nights. People will do almost anything to fall asleep and stay asleep longer since sleep is such an important part of remaining happy and healthy. There are even acupoints which you can press to reduce your anxiety and get you to sleep faster. However, the latest sleep remedy is something even simpler than all of that – a simple Vitamin D supplement could help you get the sleep you need.

Vitamin D is something many of us are lacking. It turns out, according to the latest research that a lack of Vitamin D can cause us to be unable to sleep. Researchers report an Iranian study where scientists found that the use of Vitaman D supplements improved the quality of sleep in the 44 subjects who were given Vitamin D compared to the placebo.

Having a Vitamin D deficiency can be a serious problem for your body. There are several diseases due to vitamin D deficiency. Everyone should pay attention to their Vitamin D levels because they can have such serious implications to your health. There are common signs of vitamin D deficiency that are major warning signs you should get on a supplement immediately. Ideally, you have a blood test to determine your level and dosage needed.

Nearly 50 percent of people don't get enough Vitamin D. A study from 2015 of 3,000 men found that those men with Vitamin D deficiencies were also suffering from poor sleep. Is it possible that your sleepless nights are caused by a deficiency in Vitamin D? If you don't want to take supplements there are a few good ways to get Vitamin D without having to take any pills. Exposure to the sun and Vitamin D fortified milk and orange juice can help with a slight Vitamin D deficiency. Most people require much higher levels than these foods can supply. I do recommend a liquid form for much better absorption.  I prefer this one, myself…GREAT price and FREE shipping!

Hopefully, Friday, I will be caught up enough to send you an email regarding the truth about cannabis oil….signup! so you do not miss this special report! Next week discover a mystery as to what is killing senior citizens…you won't believe this.  Follow us on Facebook to get other top stories!  Thank you!

This just in!  Life expectancy has dropped in the US for the second year in a row.  People in the US have worse health and are dying younger than people in other rich countries.

 

(CNN)Life expectancy in the United States has dropped again following last year's decline, which marked the first downturn in more than two decades.

 

On average, Americans can now expect to live 78.6 years, a statistically significant drop of 0.1 year, according to a report on 2016 data published Thursday by the National Center for Health Statistics. Women can now expect to live a full five years longer than men: 81.1 years vs. 76.1 years.

 

"I still don't think you can call it a trend, because you really need more than two data points to call something a trend," said Bob Anderson, chief of the mortality statistics branch at the National Center for Health Statistics, part of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "But it's certainly concerning to see this two years in a row."

 

Anderson said he is particularly concerned about drug overdose deaths, most of which are opioid-related.

"We have data for almost half of 2017 at this point. It's still quite provisional, but it suggests that we're in for another increase" in drug-related deaths, he said. "If we're not careful, we could end up with declining life expectancy for three years in a row, which we haven't seen since the Spanish flu, 100 years ago."

 

The 10 leading causes of death remain unchanged and now account for 74.1% of all deaths in the United States, according to the report. Age-adjusted death rates decreased for seven of the top 10 leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory disease, stroke, diabetes, influenza and pneumonia, and kidney disease. The rates increased for unintentional injuries, Alzheimer's disease and suicide.

Unintentional injuries include accidental drug overdoses, which were the official cause of 63,600 deaths last year.

 

"It just keeps going up and up and appears to be accelerating," Anderson said.  "In the past, those increases have been more than completely offset by declines in cardiovascular mortality," such as heart disease and stroke, he said. "What's happened in recent years, since about 2010 or so, is a substantial slowdown in the rate of decline for cardiovascular mortality. It seems to be leveling off to some extent, and as a result, the drug overdose deaths are more prominent in the overall picture of mortality."

AntiOxidant fromAntiAging Matters

This just in! A new study clearly shows a therapeutic role for a new antioxidant called SkQ1 and SkQ1- new compounds in mitochondrial diseases such as aging.

This study also demonstrates new evidence for  the ROS (reactive oxygen species) hypothesis of aging:“A classical hypothesis for aging was that mitochondrial cellular damage would result in increased ROS (reactive oxygen species ) production that in its turn would increase mitochondrial oxidative damage that then in a deleterious cycle, would augment itself. However, this idea has lost general acceptance in recent years. A not insignificant reason for this has been reports from studies of the mtDNA mutator mice that the mitochondria seemingly do not display enhanced ROS production or enhanced oxidative damage. However, studies such as the present one do imply that oxidative damage may be important for the aging characteristics observed, at least in the mtDNA mutator mice, and these studies may thus resurrect the ROS hypothesis for aging. They found increased longevity in the SkQ1-treated mtDNA mutator mice. Although these mice may correctly be considered an artificial model, the marked effects of SkQ1 treatment would imply that counteracting ROS damage could be one factor leading to prolonged life. There are indeed indications that treatment with targeted antioxidants such as SkQ1 not only are effective against specified diseases or in artificial models but may also prolong lifespan in general, in wild-type animals”. This has been conducted in lab animals and dogs.

The takeaway in this not easy to understand preclinical paper is yes, a new compound will be coming on the market soon after clinical studies in humans are conducted by Professor Skulachev in Moscow. The scientist reports that he has successfully tested the anti-aging compound on himself and hopes to make it available to the public within the next two years. Skulachev's new anti-aging compound has already undergone substantial animal testing and is now in the first stages of a clinical trial on humans at Moscow State University.
