UNIQUE BIOCHEMICAL ELEMENTS RELATED TO WOMEN’S HEALTH
George J. Goodheart, D.C., DIBAK
Excerpted in part form Metabolic Aspects of Health, Discovery Press 1978

“Atherosclerosis is the result of cholesterol being deposited in the lining of the arteries, particularly the coronary arteries. This condition is more prevalent in men than in women to a ratio of approximately 6 to 1. It is an established fact that the average age of women is greater that of men, as can be seen by the number of men and women in retirement homes. The reason for this difference has been ascribed to estrogen, and sporadic attempts have been made to give estrogen to men is an effort to correct this difference. Stambul, chief cardiologist at the department of medicine of the Albert Einstein Medical Center, however, has shown that it is more likely due to the presence of another hormone-like substance produced in the ovary. This material is the protein-bound iodine in the blood,which was later identified as “di-iodotyrosine”.

The breasts are produced from fifteen sweat glands in the skin which form the nipple and grow backward toward the chest wall. What were embyrologically tortuous sweat glands, develop into the globules of the breast. The globules of the breast are like a bunch of grapes and each grape-like structure is called an alveolus. The alveolae secrete the cholesterol-type materials that contribute to the formation of the milk. It appears the di-iodotyrosine is a special hormone secreted by the ovary for the purpose of keeping the cholesterol substance in liquid form. In the female this is nature’s method of keeping the wax-like cholesterol in solution.

It is well known that the breasts are prone to develop cysts and abscesses, which are due to the improper functioning of this softening and Iiquefying mechanism. “Caked” breast is a very common problem in nursing mothers. It is not unusual, however, for
a woman to have a caked breast with abscess formation even when she is not nursing.

Long before he learned the thesis of Stambul’s work ,John Meyers, author of Metabolic Aspects of Health, 1971 used di2 iodotyrosine to soften breasts for nursing- especially in hypothyroid women. In one patient where the left breast was involved with severe pain and in duration, it required 200 grams of di-iodotyrosine to bring the breast to normal in two days. In another case the mother was nursing the baby with only fair results. The breasts were hard and very painful so that the baby was having great difficulty getting sufficient milk to satisfy its hunger. The mother was given 10 grams of di-iodotyrosine powder on her tongue in the course of several hours, and after allowing it to dissolve in’ the mouth prompt softening of the breasts occurred. The milk came out of the breast within minutes under pressure and could be seen to spurt from the nipple for a distance of about 2 centimeters. This of course subsided after pressure in the breast was released. The patient had no further difficulty nursing her baby after this initial help.

The experience of female patients with breast soreness and heaviness has been repeated innumerable times. There is a condition called “Schirnmelbusch’s disease” which iri his description, the breast feels like ‘a bag of worms’. The ducts more often feel like strands of spaghetti with nodules along them, rather than worms. They are hard and sometimes form masses which are described as “cystic fibrosis” and are quite easily visualized by xerography. The use of diiodotyrosine,along with the trace elements of magnesium, copper, cobalt, manganese and silver ions, has a remarkable effect on this syndrome in relieving the condition so that the breasts feel almost like liquid. Traditional treatment of the fascia lata by AK technique is also of great value here.

It gradually became evident that many of these women were suffering from a hypothyroid condition. Treatment for the hypothyroidism with thyroid and iodine, and particularly iodine intra-vaginally, produced a remarkable improvement in these women. Not only did they have an improvement in their systemic hypothyroid condition, but a remarkable change in the consistency of the vaginal mucous occurred. In the beginning the mucous was thick,white flour-paste like in consistency. Sometimes this paste would look like cottage cheese. As the iodine intake was increased, the mucous changed to a clear, limpid fluid flowing from the cervix. At the time of the spraying of iodine on the vaginal lining, a strand of clear mucous would flow from the cervix to a length of 4 centimeters in about 15 minutes. This strand of mucous was present normally in women who had sufficient iodine in their body. This secretion of mucous served to lubricate the vaginal lining. In time this mucous would flow sufficiently that a woman could expel it when voiding.

Along with the remarkable improvement in the flow of mucous, was a complete disappearance of all infective organisms in the vagina. It was never necessary to use any kind of antiseptic to free the woman of trichomonas or other infection thereafter. It seemed that she no longer could become infected with these organisms when she excreted sufficient iodine in the mucous. The carrier of this iodine seems to be the unsa tura ted fatty acid linoleic acid. In the case of severe vaginitis, large doses of
unsaturated fatty acid in the form of sesame oil(up to l0 capsules daily) are required with the iodine to bring the mucous membrane back to normal.

Several women who had Bartholin gland cysts were also relieved by this iodine application. Here again the iodine made the secretions of these glands fluid so that the material could flow out of the small orifices of the glands. Without the liquification of this secretion the orifice was blocked and large painful cysts appeared. These cysts were nearly always present in hypothyroid individuals– several of whom had the cysts incised on previous occasions.

Two other remarkable things occurred following the application of iodine to the vaginal lining. The first was a remarkable softening of the breasts. They lost their tension and became light and soft, or fluid-like. Patients were aware of this change within several minutes after the application of the iodine.

The second change was in the abdomen. Many of these patients complained of abdominal distress and a general feeling of soreness in the abdomen. Several patients had had laparotomies to search for the cause of this discomfort. After the application of the iodine they commented how comfortable they felt in their abdomen. One of them could not be touched for palpation, but after several months of treatment this distress and sensitivity completely disappeared. It was noted that several of these women had their gallbladders removed in an effort to relieve their abdominal distress.

Some of them had stones at the time of this surgery. However, the removal of the gallbladder had not eliminated the discomfort for which the operation was performed. This discomfort disappeared only after the vaginal applications of the iodine for about a year. Stambul’s research brings together a tremendous amount of endocrine physiology and teaches us how iodine and its products diiodotyrosine and thyroxin, function in the body with cholesterol. He cites a paper by Perkin and Brown of the Lahey Clinic in Boston,
Massachusetts, which is so remarkable that it is appended to his original paper.

This work was done in 1938 and apparently its significance has been lost sight of. It gives a remarkable insight into the functional difference between the male and the female, and a probable reason why the female lives so much longer that the male, and without coronary artery disease from atherosclerosis. Perkin and Brown in their experiments on dogs show that when the thyroid is removed from a male dog its protein-bound iodine drops to about 1/10th of its normal value by the next day. When the thyroid is removed from ~he female, nothing happens until the ovary is removed also- at which time her blood iodine falls to the same as the male after thyroidectomy.

It is interesting to note that at the estrous period of the female dog, which occurs twice a year, in March and October, her protein bound iodine doubled for the few days of her “heat” period. When she became pregnant the protein-bound iodine in her blood dropped to a very low value, a little higher than it was after the removal of her thyroid and ovary. It is important to remember that all of these changes occurred while both the male and female were being given an adequate intake of iodine every day – 72 milligrams of iodine daily in the form of Lugols solution and administered by stomach tube to be sure that it was completely ingested.

From these data and the proof by Stambul that the ovary manufactured di-iodotyrosine, it can be inferred that the female is endowed with this ovarian function to make is possible for her to feed her offspring. In softening the cholesterol material in the glands of her breast, she also keeps the cholesterol in other parts of her body in solution– thereby preventing it form precipitating in the arteries of her heart, brain and elsewhere.

When one views the remarkable improvement in a woman from the higher intake of iodine in protecting her against vaginal infection, cystic fibrosis of the breast, and breast pain, one has to realize that she needs much more iodine that she is getting from her present dietary intake, even when supplemented with iodized salt. There are two other symptoms that appear both in the male and in the female from an additional supply of iodine. One is a loss of the stiffness of the neck. Many patients complain that they cannot turn their heads freely, and there is a constant soreness and stiffness in the muscles of the neck. Frequently, even in young women., the muscles feel more like steel guy wires than flexible muscles that should be very pliable and soft to the touch. For some reason the left side of the neck is more involved than then the right side both in the male and the female. Although iodine plays a large role in relieving this stiffness, it is not sufficient in itself. Trace elements must be added to effect a complete relief of this muscle soreness and stiffness.

This is also true of pain in the breast and soreness in the abdomen. The trace elements which are required in ion form are magnesium, copper, cobalt, silver, zinc and molybdenum. Copper is the ion that has the most to do with the thyroid and catalyzes the manufacture of di-iodotyrosine. As in nature, copper is almost always associated with silver. It requires silver ions to relieve completely the pain inthe left side of the neck and back. Much of the pain in the left side and the shoulder-arm syndrome is relieved by silver, copper and iodine. It is very difficult to say how much one must give to perform these changes. One must feel their way along with these exchange resins but the relief comes within a few minutes and one can palpate the neck muscles and feel the tension and knots in the muscles disappear. Silver seems to have the most effect on the stomach and esophagus which produces pain in the left back at about the level of the fifth interspace next to the spine. Pain in this area sometimes is so severe that a patient cannot press his back against a chair. Pain in this area is such a common occurrence that it is difficult to find a patient completely free of it.

When we place these ions on the tongue of a patient within a few seconds to minutes, changes occur in the breast, in the neck, in the back and, remarkably, also in the vision. The patient will frequently remark that the lights have become brighter in the room.
Tyrosine plays a great role in the sympathetic nervous system and in the visual apparatus, as is shown by the work of Dr. John G.Nicholls. Apparently the activation of the tyrosine by copper produces a higher sensitivity of the retina to light. It also improves color sensitivity. Red color especially is made more vivid and more brilliant. There is hardly a patient seen by the author who has normal red sensitivity and it is always improved by the addition of
tyrosine, iodine and the trace elements.”

NOTE: I have been recommending this douche to certain patients ever since I achieved  the Diplomate in Applied Kinesiology back in 1978. One of the unique aspects of this douche is that the breast decongest even though the patient did not realize her breast were congested to begin with.  They suddenly become lighter–“fluffier”

NOTE: Depending on the situation, I sometimes recommend this particular Douche on a weekly basis for 4 weeks and then once monthly.

NOTE: Every one of my patients knows that I am always “pushing” Iodine for Breast and Ovary Health. Visit after visit, time and time again, e-mails and posts–whatever it takes!

Four Agreements

 

BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD

Speak with integrity.  Say only what you mean.  Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of the word in the direction of love and truth.

DON’T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY

Nothing others do is because of you.  What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream.  When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

DON’T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS

Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want.  Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama.  With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life

ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST

Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick.  Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self abuse and regret.

Aloe Vera

 

Species Name—– Barbadensis-Miller-Stockton 

                                                                    

THE STOCKTON ALOE STORY began in 1941, when a chemical engineer suffered severe sunburn while vacationing in Florida. Finding no available product that could soothe the pain and help heal the burn, the chemist began seeking a cure … a search that would soon change his life and his career.

Local residents told him of a Seminole Indian medicine man who relied on a special salve to treat burns, wounds, and intestinal disorders. The chemist collected a sample of the plant from which the salve was derived. He then took it to a prominent botanical gardener, who called it by the traditional name, “Virgin Trinity.” The botanist said the plant was a rare variety of Aloe vera – thought to be a direct descendant of the plant Nicodemus used to help prepare the body of Jesus Christ for burial (John 19:39).

This specific species has the propensity to cure Stage IV cancer, Melanoma, Hepatitis C; Ulcers

Patients with extensive Cancer must drink at least 8 ounces twice daily.

For the rest of us who do not have cancer, 2-4 ounces twice a day is a good dose

  • GSH resides in the cell  —  There are approximately 50-72 trillion cells in the body
  • GSH is the mother of all antioxidants
  • It is considered the strongest antioxidant in the world because it is what your own body produces
  • Glutathione is a tri-peptide meaning it has 3 amino acids

It is 5000 times stronger than Vitamins C & E

  • Vitamin C has 5 extra electrons to donate
  • Vitamin E has 3 extra electrons to donate
  • GSH has 1 million extra electrons to donate

*If you check Pub-Med, as of 5/22/13 there are 107,156 studies done on Glutathione for most every disease complex

*Also on PubMed as of 5/22/13 there are 2,806 research articles on Glutathione’s affect on aging

Raising cellular glutathione increase the release of toxins

Toxins are most always attached to fat molecules such as bile

GSH forces toxins to attach to fats (bile) which is then returned to the Liver

How your body rids itself of toxins is directly related to NOT getting Cancer

Lemon Hot Water Tea

My grandmother treated numerous “patients” with lemons.  We grew up watching people come over to her house and she would make “necklaces” using lemons and garlic.

Most everyone in my family began their day with lemon tea first thing in the morning followed by breakfast.

The purpose being to “wash out” excessive bile and liver toxins accumulated throughout the night. It cleans the bile duct and heals to eliminate stomach ulcers.

I have turned my patients onto this and many to this day still do the lemon water tea

The instructions are simple:

  1. Cut a slice of lemon
  2. Put it into a teacup
  3. Pour hot water over it
  4. Drink

This post is about Lemon Tea, however, Lemon juice is a powerful antimicrobial agent, which accounts for the use of lemon essential oil in many household cleaning products, particularly those used to clean kitchen counters and cutting boards. Lemon juice has demonstrated antibacterial effects against E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and strains of Salmonella, as well as antifungal effects against Candida albicans. Another helpful thing lemons do in the kitchen is keep apples, bananas, pears, and avocados from turning brown when they’re cut prior to adding to a recipe. (Other citrus juice will do this as well, such as orange and lime.)

High Blood Pressure Info

High Blood Pressure Info

High blood pressure is a widely misunderstood  condition. It essentially did not exist 100 years ago!

My first comment regarding HBP is to do all I can to support the patient into lowering it!!

Although I respect their existence, I do not like pharmaceutical medicines because they mask the symptoms as opposed to getting to the root cause(s).

**Problem is that in 95% of the cases documented in the U.S., the underlying cause cannot be determined. This type of high blood pressure is called essential hypertension.

On the other end of the stick, I am also not fond of using natural supplements  for any length of time but may indeed recommend them  for a short period to support my patients as they make the necessary lifestyle changes to permanently reverse this condition on their own accord..

 Every person’s high blood pressure is unique to that individual. Blood pressure is almost a “private thing” with us knowing what we need to do to eliminate it  and just having to bite the bullet and do it.

A Few Surprising Facts:.

Some people think that those with hypertension are tense, nervous or hyperactive, but hypertension has nothing to do with personality traits. The truth is, you can be a calm, relaxed person and still have HBP..

*If your blood pressure reading is higher than normal, your doctor SHOULD take several readings over time and /or have you monitor your blood pressure at home before diagnosing you with high blood pressure.

To get the most accurate reading at your next blood pressure screening, insist the procedure be done properly. Follow these tips given to us courtesy of Dr. David Williams.

  • Do not exercise or eat for 30 minutes before having your blood pressure taken. (Even a cup of coffee can affect readings for several hours after you drink it.)
  • Rest at least five minutes beforehand. You should feel comfortable and relaxed in your surroundings.
  • Have your reading taken in the morning because biological rhythms naturally cause pressures to be higher in the afternoons and evenings.
  • Remove all clothing from the waist up. Just rolling up your shirtsleeve can act like a tourniquet and cause false readings.
  • Ask that your blood pressure include readings taken while you are lying, sitting, and standing. Readings often skyrocket as you change positions, which may signal weak adrenal glands—not high blood pressure.
  • Make sure your elbow is at the same level as your heart. Every doctor and nurse is taught this, but very few check it. An elbow that is even a couple of inches below the heart can make the reading as much as 17 points higher than it should be. There’s no telling how many people have “low elbow” instead of high blood pressure!
  • Have your blood pressure taken three times with at least a one-minute rest between each one.

A single high reading does not necessarily mean that you have high blood pressure. However, if readings stay at 140/90 mm Hg or above (systolic 140 or above OR diastolic 90 or above) over time, your doctor will likely want you to begin a treatment program.

Such a program almost always includes lifestyle changes and often prescription medication for those with readings of 140/90 or higher.  Problem with prescription meds is they are not getting to the root cause of the problem because the root cause has not been determined.

Which number is more important top (systolic) or bottom (diastolic)?

  1. The first # Systolic is when the heart contracts forcing blood into the arteries that are part of the circulatory system. Most attention is given to this number as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease in persons over 50 years old
  2. The second # Diastolic is when the heart returns to rest in between heartbeats.

Heart-Health

** In most people, systolic blood pressure rises steadily with age due to increasing stiffness of large arteries, long-term build-up of plaque, and increased incidence of cardiac and vascular disease. It may be “normal” for older folks to have slightly higher pressure.
At 60 years old, the circulatory system could never be the same as that of a 20 year old.
Other factors that can raise the risk of having essential hypertension include any of the following::
  • Liver
  • Kidneys
  • Heart
  • Nitric Oxide Depletion
  • Sleep Deprivation / Problems
  • Adrenal Insufficiency (Medulla/Cortex)
  • Overweight
  • Alcohol Consumption*
  • Sodium Consumption
  • Potassium/Magnesium
  • Caffeine
  • Diabetes
  • Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio

*Alcohol consumption is a double-edged sword. Some studies indicate it helps lower blood pressure, while others report the opposite. In very small amounts it may lower blood pressure. But if you drink too much, even moderate amounts regularly, blood pressure levels may go up. People who drink more than moderate amounts of alcohol regularly virtually always experience elevated blood pressure levels.

*Research indicates systolic blood pressure levels are about 7-10 mmmHg higher in frequent drinkers than in people who do not drink

 *Here is the 2014 list of Blood Pressure Meds

For those of you on Lisinopril, my suggestion is get off that one asap as it is believed to be the #1 cause of spontaneous dementia in nursing homes

Here is a list of what may work outside the medical model

  • Chiropractic
  • Acupuncture
  • Exercise
  • Diet
  • Weight Loss (The secreting success out of exercise is to do it regularly)
  • Sleep Patterning Reset
  • Stop Drinking Alcohol
  • Hibloderox
  • Meditation*
  • Yoga*
  • TaiChi*
  • Qigong*

*Some research has also concluded that Yoga, TaiChi, Qigong and Meditation can have the same effect as some of the most potent drugs used to lower pressure  

There are 3 bullet points to remember from this post

  1. Cause of High Blood Pressure not determined in 95% of the cases
  2. Blood Pressure is checked incorrectly
  3. The list of blood pressure medications and what they do

Blood Pressure Meds List

 

Chemical and Brand Names of Drugs Commonly Used to Treat Hypertension Updated May 2015

The following is a list of the most common drugs and drug combinations used to treat hypertension regardless of the fact that in 95% of the cases the cause of the high blood pressure cannot be determined. The (G) indicates that a generic form  is available.

Diuretics

Diuretics (“water pills”) increase the amount of sodium and water excreted into the urine by the kidneys. It is thought that they lower blood pressure mainly by reducing the volume of fluid in the blood vessels.

Diuretics commonly used for hypertension:

WHEAT

Wheat

One of the first things I bring up to people about wheat is that we used to use flour and water to make paste for art projects in elementary school. It’s the substance in wheat called gluten that forms the paste. This paste coats the twenty three feet of intestines and nine feet of colon. the gluten’s ‘caking’ effect increases the density of the mucous lining in the intestines, and inhibits the absorption of vital protein, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Many people who have come to me for advice have very thin arms and legs, but their lower stomachs protrude.

The gluten coating starts storing other matter and the
result can be rubber-like layers.

The gluten coating starts storing other matter and the result can be rubber-like layers.Through palpation, it is evident that it is not soft, floppy fat tissue-it is even hard sometimes. this protrusion is from swollen over-sized intestines that have been coated over the years with super-sticky gluten. The gluten coating starts storing other matter and the result can be rubber-like layers. Not only does this process inhibit the ability to absorb vital nutrition, it interferes with the peristalsis process. Peristalsis is the wave-like movement of the intestines which moves nutrients along their way. The waves of alternate contraction and relaxation of the intestines propels the contents onward. When the intestines are coated and glued with sticky gluten, the contraction and relaxation process is interfered with, which contributes to more rubber-like coating layers and more health problems.

You may ask why did mankind create this menace grain from wild grasses and continue this hybridization process to the point of being so dangerously sticky. Because the gluten in wheat, from a cooking standpoint, traps the air bubbles produced by yeast and/or baking powder, and causes the bread to rise.Other grains can’t achieve this soft, puffy texture of wheat breads, and so wheat is almost always added to other grain products–corn muffins mixes, rye breads, etc.It may help taste and texture but it erodes health.

There is another huge problem with the consumption of wheat. Wheat, as well as other seeds and grains, contains phytic acid. Phytic acid binds with calcium, magnesium, zinc, and other minerals, and keeps the body from absorbing them. In the sections on minerals, I try to emphasize how important these minerals are to health. The binding of calcium by phytic acid leads to rickets in children and osteoporosis (loss of calcium in bones) in adults. Tests have shown that calcium is protective against bowel cancer, so when wheat (phytic acid) keeps the body from absorbing calcium, the consumption of wheat has to be considered as increasing the incidence of bowel cancer. When phytic acid keeps magnesium from being absorbed, irregular heart beats, lack of energy, hormonal imbalance, nervous disorders, soft bones, heart disease, immune dysfunction, and even cancer can result. In fact, when magnesium levels are reduced, laboratory animals have deficiencies in calcium and potassium. Low zinc levels damage the body’s immune system and leave a person more susceptible to infections, atherosclerosis, and cancer.

In fact, huge cereal companies (Carb Kings) have successfully convinced people through propaganda that high- fiber diets (from wheat products) are good for one thing or another. What the public is not told is that this high-fiber diet promotes health problems from mineral deficiencies.

In my experience with people, the high- fiber (from wheat source) approach leads to constipation and encourages mineral deficiency problems. From a roughage standpoint, there is no significant difference between refined white wheat flour and whole grain wheat flour, contrary to Carb King cereal company propaganda. Breakfast cereals and other processed foods have ‘natural’ and ‘fiber’ written on the package, but the ingredients have been milled to a fine consistency and reconstituted into a gritty and/or crisp texture to give the illusion that the person is getting natural roughage.

Not only is the wheat- sprayed with tremendously dangerous chemicals
(pesticides, fertilizers, etc.) while it is growing, it gets spayed with more
chemicals when it gets stored to keep insects and mice away.

However, when this man-made shape gets inside your body, it quickly returns to the sticky, pasty, smooth grain and coats the person’s intestinal walls-inhibiting the absorption of vital proteins, vitamins, and minerals.

Mention should be made of the way wheat is handled from the harvest to the dinner table. I have been told by several people what happens to the wheat that they grew on their farms. Not only is the wheat sprayed with tremendously dangerous chemicals (pesticides, fertilizers,etc.) while it is growing, it gets sprayed with more chemicals when it gets stored-to keep insects and mice away. They spray to try and stop fungus from growing, but it still molds, and mice and insects still get in. They tell me that it is standard practice to mix last year’s molded wheat with this year’s harvest so it will get by inspectors. This mold, which is also found in other grain products, peanut butter, cheese, grapes, apple juice, etc. produces aflatoxins. Aflatoxins are extremely carcinogenic (cancer-causing) and damaging to health. Once the wheat is processed into flour, the little nutrition it contained is removed. The flour is sprayed (with poisons) when it gets to the factory to keep out mold, insects, and rats. When made into bread, more chemicals are added to the flour. In fact, check the ingredients on a loaf of bread and you will find such chemicals as polyglycerate 60, polysorbatego, lactylate, potassium bromide, biglycerides, artificial flavoring, etc. Artificial flavorings can have many different chemicals involved. Artificial apple flavoring can have over one hundred and eighty different chemicals. And there is no requirement to list all the hundreds of chemicals in breads like bleaches, firming agents,dough softeners, etc.

Gluten is considered one of the most allergenic substances known. A huge percentage of people can not break it down in digestion and the body responds to it as a foreign substance. The result is an allergic reaction. I think another factor in the large numbers of allergic reactions to wheat is the amount of insects and insect parts that are found in wheat and flour. Insects, over millions of years of evolution, have developed defensive chemicals as protection devises.

There are huge amounts of dead insect bodies in flour
and products made with wheat.

When a person  eats wheat or a product made of wheat flour (like bread), they can have an allergic reaction to the insects’ protective chemicals. There are huge amounts of dead insect bodies in flour and products made with wheat. In fact, the protection agency that is supposed to protect the public from contaminated food (FDA) continues to protect industry rather than the public. They put out a pamphlet with a list of allowable contamination called The Food Defect Action Levels (Current Levels for Natural or Unavoidable Defects for Human Use that Present No Health Hazard). I don’t know what’ action level’ means because it just lists: “Wheat Flour- -Insect filth-A average of 75 or more insect fragments per 50 grams in 6 sub-samples” To me it reads more like the FDA will take action if there is less than 75 insect fragments per 50 grams. A large amount of ‘rodent excreta pellets’ are allowed, and rodent hairs are in there too. Any of these contaminants can cause allergic reactions.

So, the next time you are enjoying cereal, pastry, pasta, cookies, gravy, bread, or any of the many products containing wheat, think about the rat pellets, rodent hair, and insects that come with the wheat products. Then think about all the health-promoting minerals that the wheat’s phytic acid is leaching out of your body. Then think about the cancer-causing aflatoxins. And finally, picture your intestines coated with super-sticky gluten, swollen and filled with rubber-like layers that keep you from absorbing the nutrition from the food you buy. If you can still enjoy the wheat product, then you better learn to enjoy bad health.

Willow Flower Info Directions

    

The best Willow-Herb comes from Germany. Willow Flower Herb has proven to be far better than Saw Palmetto for the prostate. Willow Flower Herb Works!  By law it cannot be said what it does to help prostate cancer. But what can be said is  that it strengthens the prostate by helping remove toxins brought to the prostate via the bowels and urinary tract.

**The biggest point of interest with Willow Flower Tea is that is strengthens the prostate gland even though you did not realize your prostate gland was not strong to begin with.

Since there are several species of Willow-herb some people are uncertain which are the ones with the medicinal properties. So here they are:

  • Pink Willow-herb (Epilobium parviflorum),
  • Mountain Willow-herb (Epilobium momanum),
  • Dark-green Willow-herb (Epilobium obsaJrum),
  • Lance-leaved Willow-herb (Epilobium lanzeolatum),
  • Hill Willow-herb (Epilobium collinum),
  • Marsh Willow-herb (Eppilobium palustre,
  • Gravel Willow-herb (Epilobium anagallidifolium).

The Willow herbs with the color is reddish, pale pink to almost white. The flowers stand on top of the long thin pod like seed vessels. These later split, disclosing many silky whites hairs in which are embedded the tiny seeds.

Of the varieties mentioned, the whole herb is gathered, that is, stems with leaves and flowers,but care should be taken to pick the herb in the middle of the stem – it breaks easily – so that it can form new side shoots. The plant is cut in the fresh state. Even in the most severe cases only 2 cups of Willow herb tea are drunk, 1cup in the morning on an empty stomach and 1 cup in the evening, But it does not mean that a visit to the doctor is not necessary. In any case, for every serious illness, a doctor should be consulted.

Two species of Willow-herb which can hardly be mistaken for the smaller species are the Great Hairy Willow- and the Rose Bay Willow-herb. These cannot be used. The first.has large rose-purple flowers. It grows, much branched, in masses by ponds, in marshes and damp meadows and reaches a height of 150cm. The stems and leaves are fleshy and slightly hairy. The Austrian botanist, Richard Witlfort, who knew the Willow-herb as a medicinal plant well, does not mention it in his book. As he said, it could easily be mistaken for the Great Hairy Willow-herb, also known as Fireweed, Blood Vine, Blooming Sally, grows in copses, waste grounds recently cleared and edges of woods and reaches a height of 150 cm. The slightly reddish stems end in long showy spikes of rose-purple flowers. When the abundantly growing Rose Bay Willow-herbs flower, they turn areas into fire-red patches.

**The curative effect is so great that, often suddenly, all complaints caused by prostate disorder disappear. There are many cases where men were to have an operation, the urine came only in drops and 1cup of this tea brought relief. Of course. the tea has to be drunk throughout a period to bring about complete recovery.

NOTE: The FDA does not conduct studies on the curative properties of water, foods or plants–so no studies done on Willow Flower or most any herb for that matter.

Directions:

  1. Pour one and 1/4 cups of water in a pot and heat (distilled is always best for tea because distilled water is empty and more apt to absorb the nutrient from tea leaves. Spring water is what most people use and if not use any water–just make the tea)
  2. Put one decent sized teaspoon of the Willow-herb into the pot and simmer for a few minutes, stirring once or twice.
  3. Pour into a mug and drink.
  4. You may add honey (the good stuff) but maybe best if you take it plain.
  5. At this point there should be a little left in the pot. let this soak till night time when you add another cup of water and another tea spoon of Willow Herb. Use the same process, however,discard these remains -~rather than soak overnight again.

Willow Flower Herb will make a difference in just a few days. Return it if it doesn’t.
