Turmeric a common household spice, which gives mustard its color has many healing properties. There has been some research reporting that turmeric (in combination with vitamin D) helps fight Alzheimer’s disease and obesity (by suppressing growth of fatty tissue) and is soothing to skin burned by radiation therapy.
Recently there has been reports of turmerics natural antibiotics properties in strenghtening digestion and intestinal flora. And more recenlty reports of turmeric as an alternative medicine for pain caused by inflammation. Here are some other benefits as well.
- Turmerics powerful bright yellow powder has anti-inflammatory components safely reduce the pain and swelling of arthritis,fibromyalgia , carpal tunnel syndrome, bursitis and tendonitis.
- Anti-inflammatory benefits also extend to gastrointestinal (GI) problems, such as gastric ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis. Turmeric’s effectiveness against liver disease is being studied as well.
- It’s many potent antioxidants help squelch unstable oxygen molecules that can otherwise run amok, damaging cells and opening the door to dangerous diseases, such as cancer. Curcumin, an active compound of turmeric, has been shown to modify more than 250 oncogenes and processes that trigger cancer tumorigenesis, proliferation and metastasis.
- Turmeric can help curb excessive immune responses that characterize conditions such as allergies, asthma and possibly even multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease.
- Studies suggest a still wider range of healing benefits, such as lowering cholesterol, preventing atherosclerosis and protecting the liver against chemicals and viral damage.
- No significant toxicity has been reported following either acute or chronic administration of turmeric extracts at standard doses. The FDA classified turmeric among substances ‘generally recognized as safe’. Phase I clinical trials have shown that curcumin is safe even at high doses (12 g/day) for 3 months in humans but exhibit poor bioavailability. Major reasons contributing to the low plasma and tissue levels of curcumin appear to be due to poor absorption, rapid metabolism, and rapid systemic elimination. Several commercially available supplements provide higher doses and bioavailability of purified curcumin.

Hypertension: Hard to Diagnose, Easy to Treat
Friday, September 25, 2009
posted by Looking4Alternatives @ 5:20 PM
Millions of Americans live with hypertension every day, and it’s amazing how few of them are diagnosed with the condition. Hypertension often worsens over a period of years, and by the time it makes itself known, there are a whole host of other problems to worry about. The risk of heart attack and stroke are foremost among them. High blood pressure is characterized by an increasing resistance to blood flowing into the arteries.
Thus far, the precise high blood pressure causes remain unknown. Evidence suggests that the problem can be alleviated and in some cases reversed by a number of methods. Switching to a healthy, balanced diet that’s low in fat certainly helps, as does the implementation of a reliable exercise regimen. Reducing stress in one’s personal and professional lives can also decrease the burden on the cardiovascular system.

Natural Alternatives Better Than The Artificial Poison Aspartame
Friday, September 11, 2009

Did you know that this poison (Aspartame) was approved in our Government , through a political favor, go figure . Just like everything else that gets passed . The federal Government refused to pass this for 16 years, until someone wanted to line there pockets.Now the big food giants are fighting to keep on the shelves and its in just about everything you buy relating to diet food .
Also, did you know that by consuming this fake sweetener , it can actually make you fatter.
just when you thought that you had the battle of the bulge beat . Its because it makes you crave carbohydrates , so there in turn you gain weight.
They are putting this poison in everything that they can and now it’s been linked to brain cancer, memory loss, impaired vision, hearing loss, joint pain, asthma, coma, seizures… ?
To qoute “Beyond a shadow of a doubt, aspartame triggers brain tumors”and, “therefore, by allowing aspartame to be placed on the market the FDA has violated the Delaney Amendment, which forbids putting anything in food that is know to cause cancer… And if the FDA itself elects to violates its own the law, who is left to protect the health of the public?”
You must be warned that the FDA has compiled a list of 92 yes 92 symptoms from Aspartame - even Death ! An endless list of complications , such as :
Headaches, memory loss, seizures, vision loss, coma, and cancer. It also appears to worsen or mimic the symptoms of such conditions as fibromyalgia, MS, lupus, ADD, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, chronic fatigue, and depression… all because aspartame attacks your body at the cellular level , therefore it cancels out any medications you might be taking ,including antidepressants, Coumadin, cardiac drugs, hormones, insulin, vaccines, and many others.
It is a deadly neurotoxic drug masquerading as a harmless additive.
So buy using common sense and making a choice of natural alternatives like Stevia is a much better. Stevia is becoming so well known now that the big food giants are trying to bet in on the act . Replace your other artificial sweeteners with stevia .You can bake with it use it in your cereal . It comes in a Liquid for drinks and the like and powders or granulated .
When it comes to your health , you can make a difference , don’t let them feed you a load of crap like they are trying to do.
Diabetes Symptoms of Heart Disease Linked to Vitamin D Difficiency
Thursday, September 10, 2009
posted by chip @ 11:40 AM
An article from Researchers of the Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis discovered why low levels of vitamin D nearly double the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes.
Carlos Bernal-Mizrachi, M.D., and his colleagues believes that diabetes symptoms of heart disease is linked to inadequate vitamin D. He says that the macrophage cells - which eat more cholesterol - eventually stiffen blood vessels and block blood flow. This build-up increases the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Doctors Bernal and Mizrachi believes that people with type 2 diabetes are very likely to have a vitamin D deficiency.Also most women with type 2 diabetes are one-third more likely to have insufficient vitamin D levels than women of the same age who do not have diabetes.
In reality our skin manufactures vitamin D in response to ultraviolet light exposure. But, in many parts of the United States, during the winter months when the sun’s rays are much weaker and more time we spend indoors , the average person does not make enough vitamin D.
In Doctor Bernal-Mizrachi ’s research they found it to be possible to slow or reverse the development of atherosclerosis in patients with diabetes by helping them regain adequate vitamin D levels.
“Oral vitamin D supplements may work best,” he says, “but if people were exposed to more sunlight ,if only for a few minutes at a time, that could be an option, too.”
