Mucuna Elixir

Here is an elixir recipe that I've been playing around with lately...

Ingredients:

  • Nutmylk - Use any nut/seed that is your favorite, raw almonds (soaked & dehyrdrated) make a nice nutmylk that tastes good with this recipe; I almost always use herbal/mushroom teas made with locally harvested spring water as a nutmylk base! Today it was chaga/eucommia decoction. This combo has a hint of vanilla/maple syrup from the chaga & slightly bitter/strong overtones from the eucommia bark!
  • Mucuna pruriens - This is a strong Ayurvedic herb that has gained some recent popularity in the health community. It has a lot of the same hormone-boosting, aphrodisiac & adaptogenic effects like maca does, but also comes with an entheogenic kick. If you are new to this herb, start with 1/4-1/2 a teaspoon. For advanced alchemists, they can move up the mucuna ladder and slowly begin to add more (caution is advised, as mucuna can be psychedelic!). It upgrades the whole system, a premier anti-aging potency herb! Mucuna is also said to be a memory tonic, which makes sense, as it contains DMT which is known to boost brain capacity by 40%!!! It also contains some other interesting plant chemicals such as 5-HTP, L-dopamine, nicotine, etc.. If you combine it with a strong enough MAO inhibitor, then it will really have some noticeable psychoactive effects! I've been using tablespoons of mucuna in my elixirs and it has become one of my favorite herbs! :)
  • Ashwagandha - Another amazing Indian Ayurvedic adaptogenic herb with similar properties to both maca & mucuna. It is fed to race horses to increase their performance, which is why it is said that ashwagandha makes one run like a horse! I can personally attest to this, every time I have a good amount of ashwagandha, I get the urge to go running and literally feel like a horse! :)
  • ORMUS Supergreens - The best tasting greens ever!! ORMUS Supergreens are grown at high altitude in Arizona & Utah in special soils containing Rare Noble Elements. These greens are so charged up from ORMUS Mono-atomic Elements (gold, platinum, silver, etc.) that they got me high the first time that I tried them, with fresh spring water. They also have weak magnetic activity and will stick to a magnet! Oh and did I mention that they are a source of probiotics?
  • Other superfoods - Cacao, goji, maca all make great additions! Cacao has some weak MAO activity, but will definitely amplify the mucuna! Both cacao and maca are great to add if you are going for the aphrodisiac effect. Goji berries are sweet & increase growth hormone production like mucuna!
  • Cayenne pepper - Dilates the capillaries to allow the medicine in the food to circulate quicker!
  • Dash of black pepper - Most people don't know that peppercorns contain an alkaloid called pioperine that increases the absorption of nutrients/compounds by 4,000%!
  • Vanilla extract
  • Raw honey - To sweeten the taste & also increases bio-availability of other herbs!
This is an excellent option for athletes who want to increase their performance, those who seek to adopt an anti-aging regime, or just to get superfood adaptogenic herbal nourishment & build a strong defense shield/aura to become immune to stress!

Enjoy!

Why We Should All Get Rid of Our Microwave Ovens

(NaturalNews) Microwaves are a feature in nearly every American home. Yet their dangers are well documented. You can do your own home experiment to understand the hazards of microwaving. Plant seeds in two pots. Water one pot with microwaved water and the other pot with regular tap water. The seeds that received microwaved water won't sprout. If microwaved water can stop plants from growing, then imagine what microwaved food is doing to your body.

A Swiss study led by biologist and food scientist Dr. Hans Hertel identified the effects of microwaved food. For eight weeks, eight people lived in a controlled environment and intermittently ate raw foods, conventionally cooked foods and microwaved foods. Blood samples were tested after each meal. The microwaved food caused significant changes in blood chemistry.

Another study at Stanford University investigated the effects of microwaving breast milk. One of the head scientists said "Microwaving human milk, even at a low setting, can destroy some of its important disease-fighting capabilities." They claimed that besides heating, there were many other disturbing alterations in the milk

In early 1991, a lawsuit was filed against an Oklahoma hospital after a patient died from receiving blood that was heated in a microwave oven.

In Russia, microwave ovens were banned in 1976 because of their negative effect on health and wellbeing.

* Eating food processed from a microwave oven causes permanent brain damage by "shorting out" electrical impulses in the brain.

* Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.

* Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit.

* The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free-radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.

* Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous tumors.

* The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.

* Continual ingestion of microwaved food lowers the immune system.

* Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence.

* Microwaving alters elemental food-substances, causing digestive disorders.

* Microwaved foods lose 60 to 90 percent of the vital-energy field and microwaving accelerates the structural disintegration of foods.

* Microwaved foods lower the body's ability to utilize B-complex vitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, essential minerals and lipotropics.

The bottom line is that microwaves cause cancer and other diseases. They destroy the goodness in our food and weaken our bodies. Ultimately, we should all be thinking about permanently getting rid of them.

Doctors Need to Become Healers

(NaturalNews) There should be deep concern and appall at the alarmingly poor state of health of the American people. American medical doctors have utterly failed the American people, their trusting patients. Were doctors to become true healers instead of shills for the pharmaceutical industry, maybe then the American people would have a true shot at regaining their health.

Millions of Americans are dying unnecessarily. They are the brutalized and agonized victims of indiscriminate manslaughter, crucified by the premeditated malpractice of a totally misinformed and misguided American medical community. To add insult to injury, this disgraceful and dishonorable malpractice on living human beings is motivated by only money and sheer stupidity, avarice and ruinous medical application.

Most medical doctors should have their licenses revoked at once. This should be done to stop immediately the grossly offensive, shocking and disgraceful malpractice of guesstimation, diagnosing and the mistaken use of poison chemical drug therapy. Promulgated by the physical-chemical scientists and the giant pharmaceutical industry, this chemical drug therapy results in broken lives and untimely deaths.

Why is it so difficult for anyone to understand that "Mother Nature" does not require any outside interference from the medical community to care for or heal the human body? Medical schools are continuously turning out future would-be murderers, butchers, poisoners, electrocuters, zombiemakers and frauds, certainly not healers.

Vibrant health and the elimination of disease are contrary to the basic economic interests of the American medical profession and the medical-drug-hospital industry combined. Why? Because there is no money in healthy people.

The corrupt American medical profession is guilty of irresponsible deception and chicanery in the promiscuous and senseless crimes of manslaughter of millions of Americans. This is due to the use of utterly stupid, archaic and immorally wrong Pasteurian methods of treating the ill, sick and diseased.

Remember this; a medical doctor cannot cure you of any illness, sickness or disease. Your own body is the greatest doctor on Earth. Your body can effectively prevent bodily disturbances and heal itself of any body-chemistry imbalance if given the chance through biological hygiene, proper nutrition, proper elimination and lack of excessive enervation.

Medical doctors have been taught to treat symptoms only, not causes of bodily disturbances. As a result, millions of innocent human beings will continue to die needlessly. Medical doctors cannot effectively treat what they do not or will not understand and seem to know so little of - the natural biological processes of the marvelous human organism. Factually, they have no training in natural methods of bodily care and healing. The American medical community makes no attempt to teach preventative medicine. They are only interested in the economics of treating symptoms.

Benefits of Beet Juice Exceed Expectations

(NaturalNews) The health benefits of beet juice aren`t well known, but they are profound. Beet juice is best known as a blood purifier and blood builder that helps in the creation of red blood cells. Russian longevity researcher, Mikhail Tombak, Ph.D., tells us that beet juice improves blood structure and cures diseases of the circulatory system, large intestine, and digestive system. Tombak also shares that beet juice dissolves stones in the liver, kidneys and bladder. Not bad for a common item found in most grocery stores.

Researchers have found that a glass of beet juice each day beats high blood pressure - and according to the American Heart Association, one in three adults has high blood pressure. In the 1950`s, Dr. Ferenczi of Hungary had his cancer patients drink a quart of beet juice each day, which was effectively breaking down and eliminating tumors. Beets have been found to increase the body`s production of glutathione, which helps the body detoxify cancer-causing poisons.

Sherry Rogers, M.D. tells us that glutathione can grab onto hundreds of different kinds of environmental chemicals and pull them into the colon where they can be flushed down the toilet. However, if you`re depleted in glutathione this process won`t work for you. And that means many environmental chemicals will remain inside your body, causing what they so often cause: cancer and other health problems.

In studies, animals with chemically-induced high cholesterol were fed beet fiber. Compared to the control group, the beet fed animals experienced a total cholesterol drop of 30%, while their triglycerides dropped 40%. Essentially, the beets significantly dropped the animals` risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The animals` HDL (beneficial cholesterol) also increased significantly, offering protective benefits.

Beets have also been found to increase the number of CD8 cells in the colon, which are cancer-destroying cells. Colon cancer is the third most diagnosed type of cancer in the U.S. and the third leading type of cancer related death. Sounds like quite a few people could benefit from drinking some more beet juice.

Getting the Benefits of Beet Juice

Drinking the fresh juice of a beet or two each day is a wonderful preventative health measure, and it may help reverse many problems. For taste, beet juice can be mixed with carrot juice or apple juice.

If you`re into cleansing, you can also get the benefits of beet juice by adding a cup to a two quart cooled coffee enema. Coffee enemas are traditionally done to cleanse the liver, and by adding fresh beet juice, you`ll compound their effectiveness. The effects of doing coffee and beet juice enemas repeatedly are profound and for more for your buck, add in the juice of a couple of cloves of fresh garlic as well.

Scientists discover how Cordyceps mushrooms fight cancer

For thousands of years, the mushroom known as Cordyceps has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat problems ranging from coughs and fatigue to impotence and cancer. And once Western scientists started considering that anecdotal reports of the mushroom's curative powers might be something more than "folk tales", research started accumulating that backs up many ancient claims about Cordyceps' health benefits. For example, scientists from the University of Nottingham in Great Britain say they've documented how Cordiceps can fight cancer -- and the new discovery could increase the effectiveness of mushroom-derived cancer treatments.

For the study, published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, Dr. Cornelia de Moor of the University of Nottingham and her colleagues investigated a drug called cordycepin, which was originally extracted from wild growing Cordyceps and is now prepared from a cultivated form of the mushroom.

"Because of technical obstacles and people moving on to other subjects, it's taken a long time to figure out exactly how cordycepin works on cells. With this knowledge, it will be possible to predict what types of cancers might be sensitive and what other cancer drugs it may effectively combine with. It could also lay the groundwork for the design of new cancer drugs that work on the same principle," Dr. de Moor said in a statement to the media.

The University of Nottingham scientists found that the Cordyceps-derived treatment has two important effects on cells that could impact the growth of malignant tumors. At low doses, cordycepin inhibits the uncontrolled growth and division of cells while at high doses it prevents cells from sticking together, essentially blocking the cells from growing.

The research team concluded that each of these effects most likely is the result of a single underlying mechanism -- cordycepin interferes with how cells make proteins. Specifically, low doses of the mushroom-derived treatment interfere with the production of mRNA (the molecule that directs cells to assemble a protein) and at higher doses cordycepin directly interacts with the making of proteins.

"Our discovery will open up the possibility of investigating the range of different cancers that could be treated with cordycepin," Dr de Moor stated. "We have also developed a very effective method that can be used to test new, more efficient or more stable versions of the drug in the Petri dish.This is a great advantage as it will allow us to rule out any non-runners before anyone considers testing them in animals."


More Cordyceps news
Scientists at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, published research in the November 30th edition of the journal Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy showing that oral Cordyceps can reduce the occurrence of cancer spreading to the lungs in metastatic breast cancer. Although the researchers found that Cordyceps does not reduce the growth of the primary breast tumor, they noted that deaths from breast cancer are primarily due to the development of metastases. That means a treatment that stops the spread of metastatic tumors could save countless lives.

Although various medical therapies currently exist that attempt to stop the growth of cancerous metastatic tumors, they have little effect -- so this makes the Dalhousie University research into Cordyceps very important. The Canadian researchers stated the evidence they have so far suggests that the mushroom reduces the growth of metastases due to Cordyceps' effects on the tumors' cell cycles.

Autism and Cannabis‏

Sam's Story: Medical Marijuana and Autism
‘Sam’ is a 10 year-old boy who lives with his Dad, his Mom, and his sister Lucy in Northern California. Sam has autism. From age two till eight, Sam’s disorder made him violent and aggressive. His parents Steve and Angela were truly living a nightmare, every day.
“He got to the point where he was hurting other children, when he was in school, or in public places, Angela explains to KTLA News. “We’d be in line at the store, and he’d just bolt and hit another child in the face without any warning at all.”
Sam’s Dad remembers all the tough days. “One time he pulled down a TV, he knocked over furniture. I had to put him in a hold for a whole hour. His body was just spasming, so I lay there just crying, and holding him.”
Sam’s parents worked with expert doctors, who recommended a succession of conventional prescription medications — like Risperdal and a host of others. But Sam just gained 20 pounds… and he became even more dangerous.
“His behavior was getting worse,” Angela recalls. “And we were scared. He was getting bigger, stronger, now that he was 20 pounds heavier from the Risperdal.”
“It was the saddest thing,” Steve says. “The child we’d grown to love was gone. When you talked to him, looked at him, he’d just disappeared.”
Finally, at their wit’s end, and faced with the very real prospect of needing to institutionalize their son, Sam’s parents decided to try something unconventional…and controversial. Last year they began treating Sam with medical marijuana.
“If you think about it, it’s the perfect drug for that kind of behavior, very calming,” Angela says.
Steve and Angela got a recommendation from a medical cannabis doctor. They told Sam’s pediatrician about their plan. And Steve grew Sam’s new medicine in their back yard. From the marijuana flowers Steve grew, he could make a concentrated form, what people refer to as ‘hash.’
Steve showed us a ball of hash, roughly ¾ inch in diameter, representing roughly four months of doses for Sam. Steve softens the cannabis with heat, then takes what appears to be just a speck of pot, Sam’s ‘dose’ for the day.
And from the very start, the cannabis was a godsend for Sam’s family. “The first time we did it, we wanted to see if it would work at all,” Steve recalls. “It was an amazing experience, I’ll never forget it, as we watched what happened, it was like ‘He’s back!’ It was like all this anguish, pent-up rage and aggressiveness went away — it just calmed him down.”
While KTLA visited the family, we watched Steve put Sam’s daily dose in a piece of melon and take it to him. Within roughly 20 minutes, the effects were clear. Where earlier Sam had been animated and antsy, after eating his speck of hash Sam became calm, relaxed, and social.
Could Sam’s story help others? Respected LA-area pediatrician Chris Tolcher says we don’t know enough about cannabis for kids.
“I think for all the parents out there whose children may have autism,” Tolcher says, “I think the message here is that this is intriguing information that needs more research before we can confidently say that marijuana is a safe and effective treatment for autism complications.”
But for one California family, medical marijuana has literally been an answer to their prayers and a homecoming for their son. “It was a medication with the result we’d been hoping for, for so long,” Steve says.
Angela agrees. “He was happy again, smiling, laughing. There was the boy we’d lost for so long, who we wondered if we’d ever see again.
“It just feels like I have more control to help my son,” Steve says. “We don’t depend on doctors, who may have the best intentions, but they don’t know what Sam needs.. I want do what’s best for my son. And I’ll do whatever I can for him.”
