Herbal Remedies for everyday use! ;)

Thanks Annie, I want this book!

I am a truly blessed woman. The process of building my website and writing and blogging about herbs for the last 7 years has let me experiment, taste, grow and learn about medicinal plants while making a living. I am profoundly grateful to all the readers of this website for helping me realize this dream. When I first started my goal was to profile 50 herbs, those "sweet herbs" in the classic sense, who have essential oils. But I kept finding one more, and one more and as time when on my list soon swelled over a 350 different medicinal plants. The advent of the internet has opened the door to even easier access to the exotic herbs used worldwide. I realized a long time ago that I will never run out of new and interesting herbs to profile on this website, of new and old herbal remedies to test, refine and post in the database.
kitchen medicine So the problem becomes one of an abundance of wealth. How to choose between all of these fascinating, healing, and wondrous plants to recommend to you, dear reader for use in your home. The method I settled upon was this. If I were to make up a basic package of herbs, teas, oils to give to friend, with simple instructions for use, not wanting to overwhelm them with learning about the properties and actions of 300 different herbs, these are the ones I would choose. If you were to ask me, out of all the remedies posted on this website, which ones do I use myself in everyday life, these are the ones.
"Kitchen medicine" profiles forty-four of the most popular and useful healing plants with easy to follow instructions on how to use them. These herbal remedies take you step by step on how to blend tasty and effective herbal teas, create your own custom herbal oils and salves for health and beauty, and use essential oils to kill germs and infections as well as emotional healing.

kitchen medicine bookWhat is Kitchen Medicine? Some things are plainly food like potatoes, although they can be used in home remedies, (raw slices on black eyes). Their main function is to provide carbohydrates and some minerals in our diets. Some things are plainly medicine like aspirin, though its beginnings were in nature as an extract of white willow bark. Some things are harder to classify, and occupy that place where food and medicine intersect in our lives to become one and the same thing. Cayenne pepper is food, but also contains a powerful pain reliever, onions and garlic are antiseptic as well as tasty; celery, grapes, apples, and oats all have the capacity to heal as well as nourish. Food is medicine, and our medicines should for the most part be food.
Herbs combined with a bulk, organic items like vinegar, olive oil, and beeswax are the ultimate practical persons answer to living a good life on a limited budget, and help us to make the best use out of what we have.

Because of my work I keep a large inventory of dried herbs, medicinal oils and essential oils in my kitchen, which doubles as my home apothecary. The kitchen is the true heart of the home, and the center of operations of the home herbalist who does not recognize the artificial dividing line between food and medicine. Over time I noticed that the herbs I used most often tended not to be the exotic ones, but to be the most common and inexpensive ones, like peppermint, cinnamon, and ginger. Out of the thousands of possibilities, these core group of herbs are the ones I can't live my life without, the ones who get used the most, end up in my tea cup the most often, the ones who prompt an order to my wonderful supplier when they run low. Bonus points are awarded to those plants who will grow in my back yard garden. These are the herbs that in many cases have inspired me to go to botanical gardens, peruse seed catalogs, and break the earth in the spring to plant them in my back yard. The visitors to AnniesRemedy.com seem to agree. With all the world to choose from in this age of the internet, the most popular and most searched for herbs by our website visitors are parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme (The Scarborough fair herbs). Coconut oil, lavender, calendula, ginger, and cayenne pepper are also among the very popular and practical herbs you will learn how to use in this handy e-book.

The Effects of Cola on Your Body After One Hour

Cola is the world's most popular soft drink, with about 1.7 billion serving of cola products consumed every day. Although the drink is popular, and seemingly refreshing, its effects on your health may be serious and in many respects non-reversible. Here's what happens to your body when you drink an ice cold glass of cola.
coca cola

Let's begin with the ingredients of cola. One can of cola has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, 30-55 milligrams of caffeine and is loaded with harmful artificial flavors and coloring. The major culprit in the cola ingredient list, however, is high-fructose corn syrup, and we'll tell you why.

High fructose corn syrup is derived from fructose, a cheaper
sweetener made from corn. The harmful thing about fructose is not only its high sugar content, which has been linked with diabetes and a number of other liver problems, but its effect on your metabolic rate, meaning the pace at which you absorb and digest food.
 So although you may think that a can of cola will help you better digest the food you are eating, it may actually inhibit your digestive process. Of course, this amount of sugar has other effects on your health, so it is best to shy completely away from high fructose corn syrup!

cola also contains phosphoric acid. Acid is, of course, the last thing
that we want to be putting in our bodies because it harms the body's ability to use calcium and can lead to a softening of teeth and bones, and eventually osteoporosis.

So what happens in your body after you drink a glass of cola...

In the first 10 minutes:
The 10 teaspoons of sugar in the can of
cola begin to hit your body. This is actually the total daily amount of sugar you are meant to consume, so you would imagine that your body needs to prepare itself. You don't immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because the phosphoric acid cuts the flavor and allows you to keep it down.

After 20 minutes:
Your blood sugar levels begin to spike, causing
an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into fat, and there's plenty of sugar at that particular moment.

After 40 minutes:
Your body has completely absorbed all of 

the caffeine. Your pupils begin to dilate, your blood pressure rises, and as a response your liver dumps even more sugar into your bloodstream.

After 45 minutes: Your body ups is dopamine production that
stimulates the pleasure centers of your brain. This is actually the same way that heroine works!

After about 60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium,
magnesium and zinc in your lower intestine, giving a momentary boost to your metabolism. Also, the caffeine's diuretic properties come into play, making you feel the need to relieve yourself.

Finally, once all of these processes stop and the cola has 

seemingly passed through your system, you will experience a sugar crash. This may make you irritable or sluggish, and maybe leave you feeling thirsty as you have already gotten rid of all of the water in the cola. At this point, you will probably reach for your next cola and then it's back to the beginning.

So before you reach for your next can of cola remember that
one moment of refreshing taste has a long list of consequences that can have serious effects on your health.

Discover How To Detoxify Your Body Naturally From Dangerous Radiation Exposure


Welcome to RadiationDetoxification.com - your reliable source for all natural and organic body detox and body cleansing foods, herbs, vitamins and minerals. If you're concerned about your health and looking for information on how to detoxify your body naturally from radiation exposure or exposure to harmful toxins and chemicals you have come to the right place. Please share this importnant website with your family and friends using social media icons above.
Many people have been asking what they can do to protect themselves and their family from radiation exposure or radiation poisoning, or what they can do to naturally detoxify their system if they are exposed to harmful radiation and/or toxins and chemicals. With the recent nuclear catastrophe happening in Fukushima, Japan as well as the probability that nuclear events will continue to be a part of our world, it’s prudent to have good reference information as to how the body can be supported (using natural means) and protected should high radiation exposure become a reality.
The truth is that there is no safe level of radiation exposure from nuclear fallout. Exposure to radionuclides, such as Iodine-131, Cesium-137, Uranium-234 and Strontium increases the risk of developing heart decease, various types of cancers and leukemia. The time to protect your health is now!
Radiation Detox Tips - Prevention Measures for Radiation Exposure
Read and learn what radioactive contamination and radiation exposure means. The information below will help minimize the effects of harmful radiation exposure on your health during nuclear fallout.

Iodine: Following a radiological or nuclear accident, radioactive iodine-131 may be released into the air and then be breathed into the lungs. Radioactive iodine may also contaminate the local food supply and get into the body through food or through drinking water. Radioactive iodine (Iodine-131) lands in your thyroid gland because your thyroid gland uses iodine to function. The radiation from radioactive iodine (Iodine-131) increases your chances of developing thyroid cancer and growths years later.
To prevent this people in the affected areas take oral, over the counter potassium iodide tablets (KI) or liquid. The potassium iodine will fill most of the iodine receptor (landing sites) in your thyroid gland which will prevent the radioactive version of iodine-131 from attaching to your thyroid gland. If there is nowhere to land, the radioactive iodine will do minimal or no damage. Consuming natural iodine, such as in the seaweeds and kelp, also helps prevent the uptake of radioactive iodine-131, while iron inhibits the absorption of plutonium-238 and plutonium-239. You can buy potassium iodide tablets in your local drug store without a prescription (if available) or order it online here.
Contraindications: Do not take any of the supplements if you are allergic to them or anything related to them. Consult your physician or nutritionist if in doubt. Please read the labels for any of your allergens, if you have any. In particular, iodine can be allergenic so do not take it if you have reacted to iodine dyes or other sources of iodine. Do not take iodine If you have an overactive thyroid.

Antioxidants: Most of the damage from radiation exposure and radiation poisoning is from oxidative damage which can lead to cancers, tumors, and dysfunction of the organs affected by radiation. Therefore, the best preventive measure is to increase antioxidants or “free radical scavengers” in your body. Fortunately, there are many good antioxidants available to you via both foods and all natural supplements. Those great antioxidants mentioned below are just a few examples of high quality antioxidants you can easily order online at the lowest prices.

1. Natural Beta Carotene – 25,000 IU/day. Natural Beta-Carotene contains additional antioxidant carotenoids Alpha-Carotene, Zeaxanthin, Cryptoxanthin and Lutein as naturally occurring in D. salina sea algae. The natural balance of related carotenoids is what makes this product more bioavailable than common, synthetic Beta-Carotene. You can order Natural Beta Carotene here.

2. Vitamin C – 1,000mg 2 x day. Check out 100% Natural Whole-Food Vitamin C Complex by Madre Labs. This is a unique 100% Natural Whole-Food Vitamin C Complex, designed to supply the body with high quality, naturally-derived Vitamin C from: Wildcrafted Camu Camu Berries, Wildcrafted Rose Hips and Organic Acerola Berries.

You can order 100% Natural Whole-Food Vitamin C Complex here and save 30% off retail price.

3. Vitamin E --1,000 IU /day. Emerging research demonstrates that gamma-Tocopherol, the most abundant form of Vitamin E in the diet, has very important and unique functions. Central to these functions is its capacity to detoxify reactive nitrogen species, an especially destructive form of free radical. In addition, gamma-Tocopherol acts to trap and remove free radicals from the body in a way that alpha-Tocopherol cannot. Order Advanced Gamma E Complex here.

4. B-Complex -- about 10mg 2 x day with food. B-100 Caps are a blend of key B vitamins combined with other nutritional factors for enhanced synergism. This formula provides recommended potencies of the most important B vitamins and is designed to supply your body's required daily intake in one complete supplement. You can buy B-100 Vitamin B-Complex by Now Foods here and save 36% off retail price.

5. Selenium – 200mcg per day with a meal. Selenium is an essential constituent of a number of enzymes, some of which have antioxidant functions. Selenium activates an antioxidant enzyme called glutathione peroxidase, which may help protect the body from cancer. The most important study on selenium and cancer was conducted by researchers at the University of Arizona Cancer Center. When all the results were tabulated, it became clear that the selenium-treated group of patients developed almost 66% fewer prostate cancers, 50% fewer colorectal cancers, and about 40% fewer lung cancers as compared with the placebo group. Order Super Selenium Complex by Life Extension and save 25%.

6. CoEnzyme Q10 (Kaneka Q10) -- 1 or 2 capsules daily with a meal. Co-Q-10 Gels (Ubiquinone) is a naturally occurring substance that facilitates the production of cellular energy. In every cell in your body, there are small "engines" called mitochondria. 95% of the total energy created within the body comes from these mitochondria, and none of it can take place without CoQ10. 100% natural (trans-isomer) CoEnzyme Q 10 is produced exclusively through a yeast fermentation process and is pharmaceutical grade, the highest quality available. You can order 100% Natural CoQ10 Gels here and save 69% off retail price.
7. R-Lipoic Acid -- one to two capsules daily. Defends Against Free Radicals. Lipotic Acid is a unique, vitamin-like antioxidant that can combat radiation sickness, repair damaged livers, treat diabetes and protect against oxidative processes that promote premature aging and degenerative diseases. Researchers at the Russian Institute of Pediatric Hematology and the Vitamin Research Institute in Moscow have found that lipoic acid is one of the most effective anti-radiation treatments available today. You can buy Best Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid here and save 47% today.

8. American Ginseng -- 1 to 2 capsules 2 times daily. Some studies suggest that saponins from Panax ginseng help protect cells from gamma radiation.

* The doses given above are for adults only. You do not need to take all of the supplements listed above. Choose the supplements that suite you best.
Radiation Detox: Natural Radiation Detoxification - Fighting Radiation Exposure Naturally
The following is a compilation of the research we have been able to find on ways to naturally and safely prevent and/or detoxify your body from radiation exposure and radiation poisoning. Knowledge and information empower and should always propel one toward effective preparation and planning, not fear. The power of fear is destructive in that it paralyzes resulting in unwise decisions. Along with knowledge and preparedness, we must also be aware of the very real probability that the general public will not be privy to factual information. Hopefully my readers will copy this information and place in a safe place for future reference.

Fighting Radiation & Chemical Pollutants with Foods, Herbs, & Vitamins by Steven R. Schechter, ND was required reading when I was studying for my ND. It’s difficult now to find copies at a reasonable price of this out of print but very informational book. Below are some of the chapter titles and information that Dr. Schechter deals with in his book as well as some of my own research/suggestions.

“These foods and food substances will enhance the immune system and protect against the dangerous side effects of radiation.” – Dr. Steven R. Schechter.

The time to implement these foods is now in order to build up the body as well as the immune system. Most of the foods and vitamins/minerals are “protective” meaning that they should be implanted before a radiation event occurs. Each of these can be researched individually on the Internet such as “bee pollen+nuclear radiation protection”, etc. in order to find out how it is helpful/useful to the body.
Radiation Detox - Fighting Radiation with Foods
Sea Vegetables – According to a 1964 McGill University study published in the “Canadian Medical Association Journal,” sodium alginate from kelp reduced radioactive strontium absorption in the intestines by 50% to 80%. The sodium alginate allowed calcium to be absorbed through the intestinal wall while binding most of the strontium, which was excreted out of the body. Some of the more popular sea vegetables to consume are kelp, arame, wakame and kombu.
Canadian researchers reported that sea vegetables contained a polysaccharide substance that selectively bound radioactive strontium and helped eliminate it from the body. In laboratory experiments, sodium alginate prepared from kelp, kombu, and other brown seaweeds off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts was introduced along with strontium and calcium into rats. The reduction of radioactive particles in bone uptake, measured in the femur, reached as high as 80 percent, with little interference with calcium absorption. “The evaluation of biological activity of different marine algae is important because of their practical significance in preventing absorption of radioactive products of atomic fission as well as in their use as possible natural decontaminators.” Source: Y. Tanaka et al., “Studies on Inhibition of Intestinal Absorption of Radio-Active Strontium,” Canadian Medical Association Journal 99:169-75, 1968.

The Atomic Energy Commission recommends for maximum protection against radioactive poisoning for humans, taking a minimum of 2 to 3 ounces of sea vegetables a week or 10 grams (two tablespoons) a day of sodium alginate supplements. During or after exposure to radiation, the dosage should be increased to two full tablespoons of alginate four times daily to insure that there is a continual supply in the GI or gastrointestinal tract. There may be a rare concern of constipation but this can be avoided if the sodium alginate is made into a fruit gelatin. Agar, derived from sodium alginate in kelp, is a safe, nontoxic substance that can be used as a thickening agent or gelatin.
Midori Greens - a ground breaking Premium SuperGreens Formula with a core of three Traditional Japanese ingredients: Ashitaba (Angelica Keiskei Koidzme), Japanese Matcha Green Tea & Wildcrafted Wasabi (Wasabia japonica). It also contains a Field-Grown Whole Grass Blend, Herb & Vegetable Blend, Aqua-Marine Blend and Beet Juice Powder. This one-of-a-kind formula is rich in naturally occurring nutrients that may help support: Healthy Detoxification Processes, Gastrointestinal Health and Overall Well-Being. The current inventory of Midori Greens was manufactured in May 2010.
Spirulina - a single-celled freshwater algae and an incredible source of nutrients. It provides generous amounts of Beta Carotene, Vitamin B-12, Iron and Chlorophyll. Spirulina also provides RNA, DNA and important GLA fatty acids. Order 100% Natural and Pure Organic Spirulina Powder by Now Foods.

Bee Pollen – Studies show that bee pollen can significantly reduce the usual side effects of both radium and cobalt-60 radiotherapy and also the sickness after massive abdominal x-rays. One study showed that the proliferation of cancer cells stopped in cancerous tumors induced in mice. (This is only indicative and does not purport to be medical advice. One should go to the source and study the relevant information before drawing conclusions. Try to get real bee pollen from an organic bee keeper, uncooked.) Order 100% Pure Bee Pollen by Y. S. Organic Bee Farms.

Bee Propolis - Besides the healing and anti-bacterial qualities of this substance, it has been effective in clinical stages of radioepithelitis, i.e. inflammation of epithelial tissue due to radiation. (Get unheated, raw organic honey; it is a good source of pollen, royal jelly and propolis.) If you are unable to find a good raw organic honey in your local store you can order 70% Ultra Strength Bee Propolis here.

Beets – Beets have been shown to rebuild hemoglobin of the blood after exposure to radiation. Rats fed a diet of 20 percent beet pulp were able to prevent cesium-137 absorption and 97 to 100 percent more effectively than rats given no beets. Order 100% Fresh Freeze-Dried USDA Organic Beet Juice Powder by Eclectic Institute. Freeze-drying is the best method for preserving the complex chemistry, active enzymes and entire matrix of a plant in it's fresh form.

Dried, Primary-Grown Nutritional Yeast – Besides having Vitamin E, it also contains the nucleic acids RNA and DNA, both of which have been shown to have radio protective qualities. It has been shown to help rebuild and regenerate cells damaged by radiation, and also to produce relief from radiation poisoning and it’s many horrible symptoms. Nutritional yeast has a good amount of many important nutrients. Primary – grown yeasts bonds with and absorb heavy metals such as uranium, lead and mercury!

Garlic - Garlic’s high sulfur content supports natural antioxidant systems like glutathione. Garlic extracts protect red blood cells from radiation damage by a glutathione-related mechanism. In mice, garlic extracts prevented radiation damage to chromosomes in vulnerable bone marrow cells. Order the highest quality Kyolic Odorless Organic Aged Garlic Extract by Wakunaga.

Onions – Cysteine, present in onions, binds with and deactivates both the radioactive isotopes and toxic metals such as cadmium, lead and mercury. The sulfur in cysteine helps the kidneys and liver detoxify the body.

Chlorophyll – A Report by Scottist in 1986 and report from Japan showed that increase absorption of Cadmium by Chlorella and increased excretion of Cadmium by threefold after intake of Chlorella from animal testing. Chlorella can also detoxify Uranium, Lead, Copper, PCB. Source: ” A good Health Guide: Chlorella ” by William H Lee. R. Ph.D. and Michael Rosenbaum, M.D. Guinea pigs on a diet rich in chlorophyll showed increased resistance to lethal X-rays. Now's Triple Strength product delivers 94 servings vs. only 30 for most other liquid chlorophyll products, offering you a tremendous value. Order Liquid Chlorophyll here.

Foods rich in pectin – Pectin is able to bind radioactive residues and remove them from the body. It also acts as a natural chelating agent. Apples, guavas, plums, gooseberries, oranges and other citrus fruits are recommended. Be sure to effectively wash all fruit/vegetables before consuming.
Radiation Detox - Fighting Radiation with Vitamins & Minerals
Vitamin A – In 1974, researchers from India found that vitamin A, when taken internally by humans, hastened recovery from radiation. In 1984, Dr. Eli Seifter and a team of researchers fro the Albert Einstein College of Medicine….reported vitamin A and beta-carotene counteracted both partial and total body gamma radiation. It also improved the healing of wounds; reduced weight loss, thymic and splenic atrophy, and adrenal enlargement; and prevented gastro-ulceration and an abnormal decrease in red and white blood cell formation. (The therapeutic purposes, 25,000 to 35,000 IU are recommended for adults. During emergencies or crisis situations, intensive exposure may warrant as much as 40,000 to 100,000 IU of beta-carotene, but should be taken for no more than three to four weeks. Infants should not consume high amounts. This info is only very partial and you should consult the book for specifics.) You can order Vitamin A as Natural Beta Carotene by Now Foods.

Vitamin C & Bio-flavonoids – Italian researchers in 1966 found that Vitamin D, in combination with vitamins A and the entire B Complex, helps remove radioactive isotopes such as strontium-85 and strontium-90 from the bones and the body. Vitamin D also helps protect against some common pollutants, including lead and cadmium, according to Airola in How to Get Well. Order C-1000 with 100 mg of bio-flavonoids by Now Foods.

Vitamin E (natural not synthetic) – Radiation destroys leukocytes in both tissues and the blood, according to S. L. Robbins in Pathologic Basis of Disease ( W. B. Saunders, 1974). In Japan, I. Kurokawa and co-workers found that blood given vitamin E maintained a white cell count twice as high as blood not given vitamin E but exposed to the same radiation. Vitamin E has also been shown to produce internal and external protection in mice irradiated by cesium-137. Vitamin E and selenium are best taken at the same time since selenium preserves vitamin E. Check out the Advanced Gamma E Complex by Now Foods.

Interesting to note about the ACE (Vitamins A-C-E) - A remarkable study among X-ray technicians reveals just how powerful antioxidant vitamins can be. Radiology techs are nominally protected by elaborate shielding, but they’re still exposed to unnaturally high levels of radiation over the course of a lifetime. As a result they tend to have higher levels of tissue oxidation. But when a group of techs was supplemented with vitamins C (500 mg) and E (150 mg) daily for 15 weeks, their markers of tissue oxidation plummeted, and their levels of natural antioxidants (such as glutathione in red blood cells) rose significantly. (Kayan M, Naziroglu M, Celik O, Yalman K, Koylu H. Vitamin C and E combination modulates oxidative stress induced by X-ray in blood of smoker and nonsmoker radiology technicians. Cell Biochem Funct. 2009 Oct;27(7):424-9.)

B3 Nicotinic Acid – Have on hand the Acid form of B3 rather than the salt form, Niacinamide, which is basically useless. Several sources indicate that large doses of niacin B3 were used in treating victims of radiation poisoning after the Chernobyl meltdown. B3 will cause the body to detox and therefore it is wise to make sure that your liver has been detoxed and is supported properly. Chemical poisoning slows down the liver. Order Flush-Free Niacin, Double Strength here and save.

Calcium – Protects against strontium-90, calcium-45 and other radioisotopes.

Magnesium – Like Calcium, magnesium prevents the uptake of strontium-90 and other radioisotopes. It helps to eliminate already absorbed strontium-90 as well. One study has shown that exposure to gamma radiation can decrease calcium and magnesium levels in the blood. As a result, optimal levels of both minerals in the diet are essential after one is exposed to higher amounts of radiation. You can order Calcium & Magnesium, 240 softgels by Now Foods.

Selenium – As selenomethionine. Has been shown to decrease the mortality rate of rats exposed to irradiation, and to alleviate leucopenia (abnormal decreases of white blood corpuscles). Selenium greatly reduces cancer in animals exposed to cancer-causing agents. Order Yeast Free Selenium by Now Foods here.

Zinc – Natural zinc will help the body eliminate several toxic heavy metals, including cadmium, aluminum, lead, and excess copper. Order Zinc Picolinate here.

Potassium – Cesium-137, cesium-134, potassium-40, and potassium-42 are radioactive, competitive sister elements of natural potassium, all of which are in the same chemical family. These radionuclides are absorbed by the body when there is a deficiency of natural potassium. They concentrate primarily in the reproductive organs and the muscles. Cesium-137 is common in nuclear fallout, and can often be detected in our food, soil, and water. The authors of one study described our biosphere as “contaminated with radiocesium.”
Researchers discovered that after the accident at Chernobyl, iodine-131 and cesium-137 were the most prevalent radionuclides in samples of food from the USSR and from Poland, Hungary, and other parts of Eastern Europe. Cesium-137 is also already being used in some countries to irradiate foods as a means of extending their shelf life at the supermarket. Research by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences demonstrates that natural potassium decreases the concentration of radiocesium. Begin to add potassium rich foods such as bananas, potatoes+peels, etc. If a nuclear event escalates in which cesium is being released, then also adding supplemental potassium is recommended. Potassium regulation is affected by magnesium. For magnesium deficiency include leafy green veggies, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and black beans.

Iron – Research done in Czechoslovakia showed that whole body irradiation disturbed absorption of iron, and functions of red blood cells, plasma, and bone marrow. Other researchers found that amma-irradiation of the whole body or of the abdomen decreased absorption of iron, vitamin B12 and lipids.

MSM – As plants take in MSM from the soil they change it into amino acids such as methionine, cysteine and taurine which can protect against radiation as well as chelate heavy metals for elimination from the body. MSM also regulates the fluid that covers the airway surface of the lungs, preventing an inflammatory response and helping to regulate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Order Best MSM, 1,000mg, 180 capsules by Doctor's Best.
Radiation Detox - Fighting Radiation with Herbs
Siberian Ginseng – Soviet researchers have reported that eleuthero extract has radioprotective abilities, and can be used therapeutically in conditions of acute and chronic radiation and sicknesses such as hemorrhaging, severe anemia, dizziness, nausea, vomiting , and headaches due to x-rays.

Panax Ginseng – Hemorrhage was a symptom of humans exposed to atomic radiations in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japanese research doctors found that “Panax ginseng prevented hemorrhaging tendency after x-irradiation.” Bone marrow death is one result of radiation damage to blood-forming tissues. It occurs ten to twenty days after exposure to high doses of radiation. Panax ginseng extract prevents bone marrow death and accelerates normalization of red and white blood cell counts in animal studies. You can order high quality Panax Ginseng by Now Foods at discounted price.

Gingko Biloba – According to Science News Daily, extracts of its leaves contain antioxidant compounds including glycosides and terpenoids known as ginkgolides and bilobalides. These compounds are thought to protect cells from damage by free radicals and other reactive oxidizing species found in the body. These are generated continuously by the body’s normal metabolism, and in excess in some diseases or after exposure to pollution or radiation. They damage proteins, DNA and other biomolecules and left unchecked can kill cells. Results suggest that ginko biloba extracts can neutralize the free-radicals and oxidizing agents produced in the cells by the radiation and so prevent them from undergoing apoptosis. Order Extra Strength Gingko Biloba Extract by Doctor's Best and save over 50% today.

Black & Green Tea – The polyphenol epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) derived from green tea protects animals from whole-body radiation, blocking lipid oxidation and prolonging life span. Several sources indicate that there were hundreds who survived Hiroshima at ground zero and the one thing they all had in common was drinking 20 cups of green tea per day. You can also take EGCG Green Tea Extract in vCaps by Now Foods.

Astragalus – An article published in Cancer, a publication of the American Cancer Society, reported that the aqueous extract of Astragalus membranaceus restored the immune functions in 90 percent of cancer patients studied. Order Alcohol-Free Astragalus Root Extract by Nature's Answer and save.

Milk Thistle & Liver Support - A report suggests that milk thistle may prevent radiation toxicity. It enhances liver regeneration after exposure to heavy metals, radiation, or toxic chemicals. It reduces DNA damage and extends survival in animals exposed to dangerous levels of radiation. Silymarin’s free radical scavenging and direct antioxidant effects are credited with producing these results. You can order Milk Thistle Extract 2X-300mg, 200 Vcaps by Now Foods.
Radiation Detox - Fighting Radiation with Miscellaneous Substances
Distilled Water - Dr. Kenneth Sutter recommends drinking lots of distilled water for radiation poisoning. A tiny pinch of good quality sea salt in several glasses of distilled water each day will provide one with all the minerals and trace elements they need to stay healthy.

N-acetylcysteine – A glutathione precursor. As a source of sulfhydryl groups, NAC stimulates glutathione (GSH) synthesis, enhances glutathione-S-transferase activity, promotes liver detoxification by inhibiting xenobiotic biotransformation, and is a powerful nucleophile capable of scavenging free radicals. Studies at the Louisville School of Medicine have shown that Glutathione possesses a unique ability to slow the aging process. While Glutathione aids in the protection of all cells and membranes, a study at Harvard Medical School found that glutathione is especially able to enhance immune system cells, protecting against damage from radiation and helping to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, x-rays, and alcohol. As a detoxifier of metals and drugs, glutathione also aids in the treatment of blood and liver disorders.

SSKI – Super Saturated Potassium Iodide. Protects ONLY the thyroid from radioactive iodine. If it is radioactive cesium that is being released, potassium iodide will not be effective for the areas where cesium will accumulate – mainly the reproductive system, kidneys and liver. (see potassium recommendations above) FDA – “It is also notable that the thyroid radiation exposures after Chernobyl were virtually all internal, from radioiodines. Despite some degree of uncertainty in the doses received, it is reasonable to conclude that the contribution of external radiation was negligible for most individuals. This distinguishes the Chernobyl exposures from those of the Marshall Islanders. Thus, the increase in thyroid cancer seen after Chernobyl is attributable to ingested or inhaled radioiodines. A comparable burden of excess thyroid cancers could conceivably accrue should U.S. populations be similarly exposed in the event of a nuclear accident. This potential hazard highlights the value of averting such risk by using KI as an adjunct to evacuation, sheltering, and control of contaminated foodstuffs.” This may reduce the risk of developing thyroid cancer in the future. Potassium iodide does not provide immediate protection from radiation damage, and does not have protective effects against other radiation exposure complications.

Beta-1,3 Glucan: Extracted from the cell walls of baker’s yeast it is a potent immune enhancer. It activates important macrophages and is also an anti oxidant. Studies by the Army showed that glucan was a powerful protectant against a lethal dose of radiation. Scientific studies have shown that Beta-Glucan supports immune function through its ability to stimulate macrophage activity. Now Beta-1,3/1,6-D-Glucan is blended into a synergistic base of Maitake Mushrooms for added power.

Lecithin – 2-3 tbsp. a day, will help counteract harmful effects of radiation.

Papain - In one particular study, 50 percent of rats that were given papain survived a normally lethal dose of radiation.

Thymus Extract – Animal studies demonstrate that thymus tissue extract can re-create immunity even after doses of radiation powerful enough to kill the all- important lymphoid tissue. The idea of thymus glandular feeding in cases of mild to extreme radiation exposure has been applied in numerous cases.

Charcoal – Has the ability to absorb and neutralize radioactive substances and some toxic materials. Researchers report that 10 grams or 1 tablespoon of charcoal can absorb about 3 to 7 grams of materials. German researcher found that charcoal air filters removed more than 70 percent of radioactive iodine from the air. Taking finely powdered charcoal has been found to be one-and-a-half times as effective as the tablets.

Organic Germanium 132 – Should be used in gram amounts for effectiveness. According to one study, “Radioactive rays release electrons that destroy cells and blood corpuscles….Germanium floating near the blood corpuscles skillfully catches those released electrons and lets them move around its nucleus.” In other studies mutagenesis of cells exposed to cesium-137 and gamma rays, was “remarkably reduced” without affecting cellular growth or survival. It seemed to improve the fidelity of DNA replication. Ge-132 protects cysteine, an amino acid with known protective value. Dose: 25 mg. to 100 mg. per day is often used in Japan. It can be derived from onions, pearled barley, and watercress. Order Organic Germanium GE-132 here at a discounted price.


Other Radiation Detox Recommendations
Natural Geiger Counter: There is a plant that is a natural Geiger counter. The spiderwort plant is so sensitive to changes in radiation levels (its petals change color upon exposure) that it’s often used as a natural radiation detector (dosimeter), just as they use canaries in mines as detectors of poisonous gas. Some people like knowing that they have an ongoing monitoring system for radiation in the environment, and this is just another tip available in “How to Neutralize the Harmful Effects of Radiation or Radioactive Exposure.”

Sea Salt & Baking Soda & Clay - Add one pound of good quality sea salt and 1 pound of baking soda to chlorine-free water. Soak for 20 minutes and then rinse with cool water. Adding one pound of bentonite, or other safe clay, to the sea salt and baking soda will increase the removal of radiation. Some specialists who work with radioactive isotopes use this method to remove radiation from their body. For an abnormally high level of radiation exposure one can use this method three times a week for one month.

Sodium Bicarbonate – Dr. Mark Sircus writes, “So useful and strong is Sodium Bicarbonate that at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, researcher Don York has used baking soda to clean soil contaminated with uranium. Sodium bicarbonate binds with uranium, separating it from the dirt; so far, York has removed as much as 92 percent of the uranium from contaminated soil samples…the United States Army recommends the use of bicarbonate to protect the kidneys from radiation damage…sodium thiosulfate can be added to baths and that instantly neutralizes any chlorine in the bath water while simultaneously providing sulfur for the vital sulfur pathways.” “Uranium is one of the only metals that get significant bonding from carbonate. Just flushing a lot of bicarbonate through the system, along with whatever kidney support you are going to use, will be very helpful,” writes Dr. Chris Shade.

Probiotics - A 2007 study of 490 patients receiving radiation for various types of cancer found that those consuming probiotics throughout treatment were less likely to experience radiation-induced diarrhea. Order the highest quality Probiotics 12 Plus Professional Formula developed by award-winning microbiologist lichiroh Ohhira, Ph.D., and research scientists from Okayama University.

Zeolite - Zeolites have been used to decontaminate animals, particularly sheep and reindeer, which have ingested radiation following nuclear disasters such as Chernobyl. Addition of zeolites to contaminated soils has shown to reduce up-take of radionuclides by plants, and hence, reduce the spreading of contamination through the food chain. (Introduction to Zeolite Science and Practice by Herman van Bekkum). Do not take any product containing zeolite if you are taking any prescription medication containing heavy metals, such as lithium, or containing platinum, which can be found in some cancer medications or Radiotherapy with chemotherapy check with your practitioner.

Spirulina (speer-U-lee-nah) The Ultimate Superfood


















The Ability to Survive the Harshest Conditions

Spirulina (speer-U-lee-nah) gets its name from its microscopic spiral shape, and this one-celled algae transfers its mighty ability to endure harsh conditions to the human body via Organic Spirulina Powder. Spirulina grows naturally in a hot, alkaline environment, and can survive where no other organism do. In fact, it thrives in challenging situations, sometimes growing and getting stronger in temperatures over 160 degrees F.

The Ultimate Superfood

Spirulina may be the ultimate superfood, providing a complete source of protein with all essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Organic Spirulina Powder is packed with more protein than soy, making it a great meal supplement for vegans and those with allergies.
In addition to its copper, and selenium content, Organic Spirulina Powder contains rich amounts of zinc and easily absorbable iron. Spirulina is unique because it is one of the few plant-based sources of Vitamin B12. Would you believe that Organic Spirulina Powder contains 3900% more beta-carotene than carrots? Adding Organic Spirulina Powder to juices, shakes, and smoothies gives you an arsenal of nutrients to promote healthy eyes and a strong immune system.
Just three grams of Organic Spirulina Powder possess more phytonutrients than five servings of fruits and veggies and 300 times more calcium than milk. Organic Spirulina Powder is wonderful support for those suffering from osteoporosis and for growing children. It is a low-fat alternative to calcium-fortified beverages. Spirulina has been reported to keep cholesterol levels in check and to lower blood pressure.
Organic Spirulina Powder is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It promotes the formation of red blood cells and the growth of beneficial probiotics in the digestive tract. Scientists suggest that consuming spirulina on a daily basis aids in better brain function, memory, and learning abilities. It is also reported to reverse signs of aging.

A Natural Source of Iodine

One of the most unique properties of Organic Spirulina Powder is that is a natural source of iodine and potassium iodide, which is an essential chemical element for good thyroid function. The thyroid produces hormones that regulate growth and metabolism, and iodine deficient diets have shown to lead to stunted brain development in children, mental slowness, high cholesterol, fatigue, weight gain, depression, and goiter (swelling of the thyroid). Organic Spirulina Powder is absorbed more slowly and safely than synthetic sources of iodine. Experts have reported that the iodine in spirulina powder can protect against radioactive iodine from radiation exposure.

A Super Algae

Some say that spirulina has more nutrients per gram than any other food source in the world. This blue-green algae has the characteristics of the green pigment in chlorophyll and the blue pigments in phycocyanin. Spirulina is found mostly in freshwater lakes and ponds, where it grows in an extremely clean and sterile environment because no other organisms can survive the hot, harsh conditions that it thrives in.
Spirulina has been consumed for thousands of years by the Aztec and Mayan people, as well as natives of African and Asian nations where it is still revered as a source of nutrients and medicinal healing.
Organic Spirulina Powder is highly digestible, and tastes great when mixed in smoothies and shakes with a little cacao, coconut, fruits, and other greens.

Possible Benefits

While much research is still being conducted, some of the possible health benefits of Organic Spirulina Powder may include:
  • A complete food source
  • High in easily absorbable protein
  • Contains all 9 essential amino acids
  • Rich in vitamin B12
  • May be effective in promoting healthy eyes
  • May be beneficial for the immune system
  • Contains 300% more calcium than whole milk
  • May help to promote the growth of probiotics, which help maintain intestinal health
  • May help to lower levels of harmful blood fats
  • Studies have shown that it contains compounds that may have antiviral and antineoplastic properties
  • May be effective in boosting energy and stamina
  • Contains a wide array of vitamins and minerals
  • Contains 3900% more beta carotene than carrots
  • High in readily absorbable iron
  • Rich in antioxidants
  • May be helpful in maintaining healthy cholesterol levels
  • May help to lower high blood pressure
  • Contains compounds that may have anti-inflammatory properties
  • May be useful in treating chronic fatigue
  • Contains 375% more protein than tofu
  • May be effective in supporting a healthy cardiovascular system
  • May be helpful in promoting the formation of healthy red blood cells
  • May help to improve brain function
  • May assist in sharpening memory and mental acuity
  • May be effectinve in reversing signs of aging
  • Natural source of iodine

 

Suggested Usage

The recommended daily usage is 1-2 teaspoons. As with all superfood powders, listen to your body, as you may find that either a smaller or higher intake is more suitable to your body. We recommend that you start with the recommended daily amount, and, if desired, gradually increase or decrease your daily consumption.
This powder blends well with juice, rice or soy milk, and yogurt, or can be added to your favorite smoothie. It can also be mixed into your homemade energy bars. While you can add this powder to a variety of recipes, raw food enthusiasts avoid cooking or heating in order to preserve the food's nutritional value.

 

Storage Instructions

If cared for properly, Organic Spirulina Powder has a shelf life of two to three years. To preserve the freshness of this product:
  • Avoid exposure to heat. The powder will remain fresh if stored at room temperature or below.
  • Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
  • Squeeze all of the air out of the bag before sealing.

How to Squat

heck I even started doing them because I aint got no ass!! 


481695_550831644968738_1800812012_n
Squats. It’s an exercise we are born to do! Seriously, yet many women tend to avoid it in fear of getting thunder thighs (which I actually love!) Men who don’t really know how to train don’t do it because they’re too busy working on their biceps or chest.

squat-not-squat

Just from the picture above, I know I want to be doing squats. We need to snap out of the “skinny” mindset which leads to… well, skin and bones. Squats don’t give you bigger thighs, bad choices in food that induces oestrogen production does (more on this later). For now, just trust me and SQUAT :)

baby-squat

Check out this champion baby for example! They just KNOW how to do it. So why is it that it’s so hard for us to squat properly? Our lifestyle factors play a huge part in this. We now have chairs and work around 8 hours (for some people, even 16 hours a day!) glued to the computer sitting on a chair that’s “ergonomic”, which pretty much means your body does no work in keeping your posture. Don’t get me wrong, ergonomics is important. But if we weren’t stuck in an office, we wouldn’t have to worry about it… Get what I’m saying?

Asians are an exception though (I can say this because I’m asian hehe), you can still spot them from a mile away squatting on the side of the road, usually in groups. Ok, I’ll stop there…
Squats are one of the primal movement patterns, which means we’ve been doing this movement since the beginning of time. Harvesting, gathering, cooking, eating. Kitchens and dining tables were not always around.

Most people believe squats are a lower body exercise. It is, in the sense that we move and use the muscles in the leg. However, the quads and hammies are the biggest muscles in the body and it produces testosterone that pumps through your entire body. You’ll find that after doing body weight squats for a minute your heart is already pumping, whereas doing bicep curls (without weights) won’t do much. It will tone your whole body better than any single joint exercise. Hands down.
So how do we perform this magical movement that will burn fat and give you a booty to die for?

body-weight-squats-up-down-girlStart position

  1. Stand up nice and tall with your feet shoulder width apart, arms stretched out in front of you.
  2. Make sure shoulders are pulled down away from your ears and squeeze between the shoulder blade together.
  3. Take a deep breath and brace your midsection, squeeze your buttcheeks. You’re spine is nice and straight (neutral). You’re ready to go!

End position

  1. Squat down as if to sit back into a chair. (Actually having chair might help you to understand what your body needs to do).
  2. Be aware of your shoulders, keep them away from the ears, shoulder blades still squeezed, midsection braced, nice neutral spine all the way down.
  3. Your heels should be digging into the floor and bearing most of the weight.
  4. Try and go low enough to get your thighs parallel to the floor or even deeper. If this is too hard, that’s ok! Just go as deep as you can! (If you’re a beginner, don’t let your knees pass over your toes. You’re knees should be tracking directly over your toes (same direction as your foot) at all times, whether you’re a newbie or a pro)
  5. Once you’ve reached your end point, stand back up squeezing your butt and breathing out.
Main muscles used: Glutes, Quads, Hammies
Done! Squats are such a simple movement but because we have “untrained” our body out of it, it can be quite challenging at first!

Don’t give up. Persistance will pay off.
