Medi-Sign Target:  Neo Cortex & its Blood Supply

Sweet basil, with its wonderful aroma and flavor, is one of the most popular and widely grown herbs in the world.  Surprisingly, unlike the Italian cooking that we associate basil with, the herb actually originated in the far eastern countries of India, Pakistan and Thailand.

With its many benefits and easy maintenance, every herb gardener should have a plant or two.  It is an attractive plant that works well in vegetable, herb and flower gardens.  Basil also makes a great kitchen windowsill plant or even looks great in hanging baskets.  Plant it alone or in a striking combination with flowers, such as nasturtiums, zinnias or marigolds.  Placing pots of basil around the deck or porch will allow everyone to enjoy the aroma.

Many rituals and beliefs from around the world surround this popular herb.  The French call basil “herb royale”.  In Italy, it is a sign of love, romance and fine dining.  Jewish folklore suggests it adds strength while fasting.  It has even been reported that basil was found in Christ’s tomb after his resurrection.  Greek Orthodox use basil to prepare holy water and place pots of the herb below church altars.  In Europe and India basil is placed in the hands of the dead to ensure a safe journey, while the Egyptians and Grecians believe it will actually open the gates of heaven for a person passing on.

Maybe all of us should get out our garden tools, plant some basil and prepare!

There are many varieties of basil:  sweet basil, bush basil, dark opal basil, lemon basil, holy basil, vero basil, purple ruffle basil and the list goes on.  For culinary purposes, sweet basil and bush basil are the best choices.

Basil has been known for many years as an herbal remedy for diseases of the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys and the bladder.  It aids primarily in the digestive and nervous systems.  Basil has uplifting, energizing mood-lifting properties.

To benefit from this powerful herb, infuse basil and use it as a tea for digestion.  You may also want to inhale basil tea to relieve cold symptoms.  A tonic can also be made by steeping basil leaves in wine for several hours.  The dried leaves can be used as snuff to relieve headaches and colds.

Basil is also a good insect repellant.  To repel flies, place a pot of basil outside your door.  Crushed basil leaves can be rubbed on cuts, insect bites and stings or use basil essential oil on a bee sting.  Make sure to only apply one drop, though.  More than that may irritate the skin.

Some of the many common ailments basil can treat are anxiety, concentration, indigestion, respiratory problems, colic, tight coughs, asthma, nervous headaches, migraines, muscle tension, nerve pain, memory loss, insomnia, infection, a stuffy head, colds, sinusitis, sore throats, bronchial congestion, appetite loss, gas, diarrhea and nausea.

Health Benefits

Research studies on basil have shown unique health-protecting effects in two basic areas:  basil’s flavonoids and volatile oils.

• DNA protection plus bacterial properties
• soothes inflammation
• nutrients essential for cardiovascular health

Think about it like this:

When you smoke, it’s very much  like you have a ravenous dragon living inside your head.  When you feed him nicotine, he says, “That was good!  Do it again!”  And you obey, because when you don’t feed him, he messes around in your mind and makes his hunger become your obsession.

You can’t kill the dragon of nicotine addiction – but you can put it to sleep.

The dragon of nicotine addiction

The good news:

What most people know is that if you don’t feed the dragon for a month or so, he will go to sleep – and you will be freed from the power of his gluttonous appetite.

Sound fanciful?  It’s actually pretty accurate.  You just need to  understand the biological process.

What’s really happening is a change in your brain chemistry.  Nicotine triggers a variety of chemicals, which in turn trigger a genetically programmed “pleasure” message:  “Do it again”, the brain program says.  “Again!  Do it again!  Now!”  That message is very persuasive, as you know.

Unfortunately, nicotine is an addictive, destructive drug.  What’s more, tobacco smoke contains more than 4,000 substances, including arsenic, butane and formaldehyde.  Together, they cause heart disease, many cancers, emphysema and a host of other terrible, deadly illnesses.  Plus, cigarettes are expensive.  But you already know all of that.  You smoke anyway.  The problem is that the dragon is so darned insistent.  You need to learn how to put him to sleep.

Let’s be honest.  Quitting is hard initially.  The powerful dragon doesn’t go to sleep without a fight.  He screams at you to light up again.  He gives you headaches, if you don’t.  But the most important fact to know is:  He only keeps it up for a limited time!  The dragon’s energy is limited!  It runs out – and fairly soon.  After a few weeks of hollering and sulking, he stops his tantrums, slinks away, quiets down and goes to sleep.  The trick for you is to outlast him – to starve him until he sleeps.

Stopping smoking is the single most important thing you can do to reduce your risk for many diseases.

And you can do it.

And we’ll tell you how…Two Secret Weapons

Ready to quit right now?  Don’s Farmacist Desk Reference Vol 1 pp 412-416:   his 50-Day calendar will help you conquer the dragon and set yourself free from tobacco’s terrible effects.  Check off each smoke-free day and before you’re through with this calendar, the dragon will be asleep!  Celebrate your success by checking off every day between now and freedom.  You can do it!

Pour on the Olive Oil

Medi-Sign Target:  Ovaries & blood flow (All Live – Olive)

Olive oil can benefit your health

Benefits

• Battles diabetes
• Combats cancer
• Eases arthritis
• Promotes weight loss
• Protects your heart
• Smoothes your skin

Greeks seem to know how to eat well. Their usual diet includes lots of fruits, vegetables, grains and fat. The Mediterranean diet uses olive oil as its main source of fat - unlike the American diet that consists of fats from animals.

Olive oil, made by pressing ripe olives, is 77 percent monounsaturated fat; this is the good kind of fat that helps your body rather than hurting it. Olive oil is also rich in Vitamin E and has several compounds scientists believe withstand cancer. This flavorful oil helps to rid you of heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes. It also acts as a mid laxative and helps with gallbladder problems.

Olive oil has been around for thousands of years and throughout those times has been praised for both its cooking and healing properties. The Cretes become extremely rich from exporting olive oil as far back as 2575 B.C, and both the Bible and Greek mythology refer to it.

Currently it is exported mainly from France, Spain, Italy and Greece. You can find olive oil in any local grocery store and pouring on olive oil is like pouring on the health benefits.

Five Ways Olive Oil Keeps You Healthy

Trumps Heart Disease
In spite of their high-fat diet, the Greeks rarely ever develop heart disease or hardening of the arteries, called arteriosclerosis. This is mainly because their diet includes foods rich in fiber like grains, fruits and vegetables and lots of olive oil. They also drank red wine and beer moderately.

Not all fats or cholesterols are equally made. Monounsaturated fat, the kind you find in olive oil, gives you the biggest benefit because it cuts down on the bad cholesterol without harming the good cholesterol. It also helps make blood less likely to clot, which lowers your blood pressure and your risk for stroke. Don’t forget that high blood pressure contributes to heart disease because your heart has to work harder than it should.

Halts Those Hunger Pains
How hungry you are at dinner could be affected by what type of fat you eat during lunch. Anyone battling a few extra pounds knows the growl in your belly is difficult to ignore. If you are 20 to 30 percent over the average weight for your age, sex and height, it is extremely important you take back control of your weight. Not only are you a prime candidate for high blood pressure and diabetes, but different types of cancers as well.

Although not many people consider oil a diet food, because of the high calorie count, there is a reason why substituting olive oil for others could help you lose weight. The first reason is because oils rich in monounsaturated fat, like olive oil, will fill your belly more than others. During a study, people who ate mashed potatoes prepared with monounsaturated oils weren’t as hungry later in the day than people who ate the same food cooked with polyunsaturated oils. This means that when you aren’t hungry, you’re less likely to snack or overeat; if you don’t snack you’re less likely to gain weight. Olive oil also has a rich flavor making it so you don’t need to use as much of it.

Arthritis
Oil your joints with olive oil; it works topically and internally for arthritis.

Keeps Cancer at Bay
The free radicals that roam through your body can cause damage including cancer. Luckily olive oil contains properties that keep free radicals in check. Studies show that adding olive oil to your daily diet may reduce your risk of breast, colorectal, prostate and esophageal cancers.

Diabetes
Because olive oil can cut the amount of LDL cholesterol as well as triglycerides in your blood, it helps reduce your risk for developing Type 2 diabetes. Also, it appears to lower your blood sugar, or glucose, levels. High blood sugar is a major symptom of diabetes. Once again, the benefit comes from monounsaturated fat.

To get the most from your olive oil, try to use the “Extra Virgin” variety. This less refined product has the most of what makes olive oil good for you and adds some powerful flavour. If you want a weaker taste, buy olive oil labelled “Virgin” or “Light”.

If olive oil is kept in a tightly capped container away from heat and light, olive oil can last approximately two years. If you refrigerate it, it will become cloudy. Although when it reaches room temperature again, the cloudiness will vanish.

Olive oil is great for therapeutic massages, treating wounds, minor burns, eczema and psoriasis. It also softens earwax and relieves constant ring or pain in your ears.

Medi-Sign Target: raw whole food diet, fasting,walking & snack cashews

Just as a bad diet can aid in the cause of diabetes, a good one can help control or even prevent it.  A good diet consists mainly of high-fiber, high-complex carbohydrate foods such as taro, poi, greens and fruits.  Carbohydrates, which are found in nearly all foods except animals – fish, pigs, cows and poultry – are the body’s main source of energy.

There are two types of carbohydrates: starches and simple carbohydrates.  Starches include foods like rice, beans, potatoes and pasta.  Simple carbohydrates, called sugars, include the natural sugars found in milk, fruits and vegetables, as well as honey.  The body turns both complex (slow) and simple (fast) carbohydrates into glucose, which is either immediately converted into energy or stored until needed.  Contrary to former belief, most people with diabetes should eat a diet that’s higher in carbohydrates, particularly the complex kind.  Fruit is it.  Eat up!

A high-fiber diet has been shown to relieve everything from constipation to heart disease.  It also plays a powerful role in controlling blood sugar.

There are two types of fiber: soluble and insoluble.  Insoluble fiber, which does not dissolve in water, speeds food through the intestine, thereby preventing constipation.  It’s the soluble form of fiber, however, that stabilizes blood sugar.  Soluble fiber helps prevent glucose from being absorbed into the blood too quickly by forming a gummy gel in the intestine.  This in turn helps keep blood sugar levels from rising or dipping too drastically.

More about Diabetes & Sugars

A Medi-Sin is a pHARMACEUTi-KILL, Medi-Kill, agricultural, environmental or commercial product or procedure whose creation and design is put into place simply for MONEY…Medi-SINS that are ‘violent against innocent’, (cells are innocent) any mediKILL application that promotes death, violates or alters the natural, innate, and inherent autogenic self-healing function of the body.  All ‘food-less foods and life-less drinks’ that are laced with toxic chemicals (most are also sold as mediKILL drugs/medi-SINs), genetically altered, or grown in a laboratory are all Medi-Sins.  These mass-marketed consumer products cause long-term chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancers due to the molecular structure of the body’s cells being altered, damaged and killed.  For example: Vioxx and Celebrex are blatant Medi-Sins because they deplete the endogenous production of one of the most important essentials of the the heart’s cell, what chemical nutritionists call co-enzyme Q10, which is in every whole food, naturally…

Lobbyists, politicians and governments are at the mercy/or voluntary control of the millions, billions and trillions of $$$$ from pHarmaceuti-kill Drug Lords…who support and put them in place/positions/offices.  The richest industry in the world determines laws and policies of nearly all countries.

‘Government involvement’ in so-called ‘Health Care’ focuses on the ‘important areas’ we are told, such as…

PERSONAL HYGIENE

Government-backed production of “anti-bacterials” for doctors’ offices, hospitals, homes and easy squeeze tubes for on-the-go…has led to billions in ‘anti-biotic’ sales for pharmaceuti-kill Drug Lords…that’s not counting the billions in anti-bacterial product sales.  Over 300,000 people (yes, especially babies) die from infections gotten at the hospital and doctors’ offices they visit.  Please remember:  anti-bacterials make organisms stronger! And now the most dangerous and deadly places on earth are hospitals.  When I was a kid we all ate dirt as a joke…none of us died!  If you dropped your ice cream onto the floor or ground, you just hollered ’3-second rule’, picked it up and continued enjoying it.  And, nobody washed after using the toilet!!

WATER TREATMENT

It has now been exposed that 140 million U.S. citizens in 12 different cities have been mass medicated without their knowledge nor consent with dozens of patented pHARMACEUTi-KILL drugs put in their water supplies for ‘scientific investigative studies’.

Vegetable Jewel

Medi-Sign Target: Heart & Blood

Behold the beautiful beet, the jewel of the vegetable kingdom.  One glimpse at her amethyst physique and we know that this bauble was surely fashioned to tempt!  Who could ever resist such a pregnant package, and who would want to once curative secrets are revealed?

Benefits:

• conquers kidney stones
• controls blood pressure
• protects your heart
• strengthens bones
• works for cancer

The next time you crave a sweet treat, try beets.  Instead of reaching for a sugary snack full of empty calories, grab a beet instead, which is full of valuable nutrients.  They also have the highest sugar content of any vegetable.  In fact, 40 percent of the world’s refined sugar comes from beets!

Beet leaves, especially when small, crisp and fresh, are delicious and nutritious.  Instead of tossing them in the garbage, trim off the tough part of the stem that hangs below the leaf.  Heat up some olive oil and your favorite seasonings in a frying pan, sauteing the leaves until they are soft. Dig in & enjoy!

Storing Solutions

Canned beets are easier to prepare, and they taste almost as good as fresh ones.  But if it’s the nutrients that you’re looking to store, canned beets may not be your best bet.  Fresh beets have at least twice as much potassium, folate and other nutrients as the canned ones.

Do not let fresh beets intimidate you.  They are easy to prepare.  Try baking them like a potato or shred them fresh into a salad.

Benefits of Apricot:

Benefits:

• Cancer

• Controls Blood Pressure

• Saves Your Eyesight

• Slows Aging Process

• Shields against Alzheimer’s

Apricots

The apricot is loaded with betacarotene, iron, fiber, vitamin C and several B vitamins and over 8,000 other nutritional components making it a fantastic fruit. Dry apricots are a great snack because upon drying an apricot, its nutrients get more concentrated.

Eating apricots will help you with the effects of aging, protect your eyesight, ward off cancer and prevent heart disease whether they are fresh or dried. Apricots, especially dried ones, are another source of lycopene, which is the amazing carotenoid that can help prevent prostate, breast and several other cancers. Munching on apricots throughout the day can boost your lycopene quicker than you think even though they are not nearly as good a source of lycopene as the tomato; about 30 dried apricots have the same amount of lycopene as one tomato. Apricots are also a beta-carotene which is good source of the most famous carotenoid. The consumption of this powerful nutrient reduces your risk of some types of stomach and intestinal cancers.

To get these benefits, eat about six fresh apricots a day.
