This Is A Very Powerful Natural Medicine

Berberine & How This Powerful All Natural Substance Can Heal You

Those who know me know I am on the hunt for all NATURAL herbs, leaves, roots, etc. that heal people who have been cursed with various illnesses like Diabetes.  I am a diabetic so I tend to lean towards the substances that balance blood sugars, keep blood pressure normal, lower bad cholesterol and boost the bodies immune system.

Plus, my mission is to NOT see doctors unless I absolutely have to (like surgery which they are the best at).  I no longer take the long list of prescription meds that I once did and thanks to Moringa, Turmeric, Curry, Mangosteen, and Berberine.  I no longer experience side effects like I did with prescriptions.

So this post I wanted to share another awesome natural substance called Berberine. 

Berberine has very impressive health benefits, and has been shown to lower blood sugar, cause weight loss and improve heart health, and much more.

Berberine is a natural substance that can be extracted from several different plants, including a group of shrubs called Berberis.

Technically, it belongs to a class of compounds called alkaloids. It has a yellow color and has often been used as a dye.

Berberine has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine, where it was used to treat various ailments.

Now, modern science has confirmed that it has impressive benefits for several different health problems.

Many studies show that berberine can significantly reduce blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

• Decreases insulin resistance, making the blood sugar-lowering hormone insulin more effective.
• Increases glycolysis, helping the body break down sugars inside cells.
• Decrease sugar production in the liver.
• Slows the breakdown of carbohydrates in the gut.
• Increases the number of beneficial bacteria in the gut.

So, in conclusion... if you have type 2 Diabetes you might want to consider trying this and just maybe you can replace that harmful prescription medication you are taking now with something better for you and your body.

A Super Fruit Capable Of Reversing Cancer?

Is Mangosteen A Super Fruit?

Mangosteen is an odd-looking fruit but don't let the look scare you away.

I'll try any fruit, vegetable, tree, or weed when lots of people claim it helped reverse their disease and restored their health.

Why eat it when you don't have anything wrong with you?  Simple, it means these plants are packed with so many nutrients it can only help you stay young and healthy.

Ever hear of anyone claiming a steak or hamburger cured their cancer?  Or any meat for that matter??? I haven't.

Mangosteen improves blood flow by causing dilation of blood vessels.  By increasing the amount of blood flow to the eye, Vitamin C in mangosteen is effective against cataracts.

Mangosteen fruit contains strong antibacterial and antifungal properties besides being highly effective in boosting weak immune systems.  This is why it is used to fight so many illnesses.

Mangosteen also contains high amounts of minerals like copper, manganese, and magnesium. It also has plenty of potassium which provides protection against strokes and coronary heart disease.

Mangosteen is also being used to fight Alzheimer's disease.

And the list goes on and on and on.

So why wait until you have a problem with your health... or if you do... put mangosteen in your diet and maintain a healthy body.

Kohlrabi Is So Loaded With Health Benefits It Might Shock You!

Kohlrabi A Vegetable Gaining A Reputation For Healing... Plus, It Tastes Great!

This root vegetable is getting noticed for its health benefits as well as a great tasty addition to any salad.  

I just ate some that we are growing and was surprised how much it tastes like a mild radish.  Crunchy when ate raw and when I looked up the health benefits after dinner I was blown away with all the nutrients this unknown vegetable is providing our bodies.

It is a very odd looking vegetable so it doesn't surprise me not to see it in most grocery stores.  Things that look unfamiliar don't sell very well. You can eat the leaves but I believe they need to be cooked.  I just eat the white bulb raw, cut up in small chunks. 

The following comes from https://draxe.com/kohlrabi/

1. Fights Cancer
Kohlrabi is a member of the champion cancer-fighting family of cruciferous vegetables. Components of cruciferous vegetables have shown their ability to stop the growth of cancer cells, including tumors of the breast, endometrium, lung, colon, liver, colon and cervix. 

A unique aspect of cruciferous vegetables is that they are rich sources of sulfur-containing compounds known as glucosinolates, which support detoxification and the production of indole-3-carbinol and isothiocyanates, which greatly reduce the risk of breast, colon and lung cancer. These powerful compounds that kohlrabi contain make it a strong cancer-fighting food, as these compounds help prevent cancer by enhancing the elimination of carcinogens before they can damage DNA or by altering cell-signaling pathways in ways that help prevent normal cells from being transformed into cancerous cells. 

An extensive review of epidemiological studies reported that the majority (67 percent) of 87 case-control studies found an inverse association between some type of cruciferous vegetable intake and cancer risk. The American Institute for Cancer Research even includes a recipe for braised kohlrabi on its website as natural cancer prevention.

2. Improves Heart Health
Diets rich in vegetables like kohlrabi protect against cardiovascular disease. A large study of adults ranging in age from 25 years to 74 years showed that there is an inverse association of fruit and vegetable intake with the risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in the general U.S. population.
In the Journal of Nutrition, a meta-analysis of cohort studies shows that fruit and vegetable consumption is inversely associated with the risk of coronary heart disease.  By incorporating more vegetables like kohlrabi in your diet, you can improve the current condition of one of your most vital organs!

3. Decreases the Risk of Diabetes & Obesity
Like other fruits and vegetables, kohlrabi contains high amounts of water and fiber, which can enhance satiety, reduce energy intake and, consequently, decrease body weight. Since obesity is one of the main risk factors for type 2 diabetes, by preventing obesity through a healthy diet including vegetables like kohlrabi, you can directly decrease your likelihood of developing diabetes. 

If you have the disease already, you can begin to reverse diabetes naturally and lessen your need for blood sugar–regulating medications by improving your diet with the inclusion of more vegetables like kohlrabi. One study of 2,332 Finnish men showed that higher intakes of fruit, berries and vegetables including kohlrabi may result in a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.

4. Lower Blood Pressure
High blood pressure or hypertension is a common health condition in which the long-term force of the blood against your artery walls is high enough that it may eventually cause health problems like heart disease, heart attack and stroke. Scary fact: You can have high blood pressure for years without even knowing it because there aren’t always obvious symptoms. 

One of the best natural ways to lower blood pressure is through your diet. A healthy diet high in vegetables like kohlrabi is crucial when it comes to lowering blood pressure to a healthy place. Over 60 million Americans have high blood pressure, including more than half of all Americans aged 65–74.
Low levels of vitamin C have been associated with high blood pressure as well as gallbladder disease, stroke, some cancers and arteriosclerosis. By getting enough vitamin C from your diet through the consumption of fruits and vegetables, you may help reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure and other serious health issues. By eating kohlrabi regularly, you can easily and significantly increase your vitamin C intake since just one cup of kohlrabi fulfills 140 percent of your daily needs! 

5. Reduces C-Reactive Protein
C-reactive protein is produced in the liver and is a blood test marker for inflammation in the body. It’s one of a group of proteins called “acute phase reactants” that go up in response to disease-causing inflammation. 

A study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition investigated the effects of low, medium and high intakes of vegetables and fruit on markers of immune functions, including nonspecific markers of inflammation. The study found that a high intake of carotenoid-rich fruit and vegetables, including kohlrabi, reduces plasma C-reactive protein. The lower your level of C-reactive protein, the lower your risk for cardiovascular disease and other serious inflammatory health issues. Another great reason to include lots of kohlrabi in your diet regularly!

"Organic" or B.S.?

I am about to vent about words that have lost their true meaning!  Like the word "Organic".

Once held in the highest esteem, the word "Organic" has been trashed by our government issuing licenses to farms wanting to practice organic farming.  But this word means nothing today because the government forces farmers to use pesticides in order to put the word "Organic" on their labels.

No doubt, the corporations who hold control over our politicians (like Monsanto and Bayer) make sure that their policies are put into place so the USDA must follow their rules (if they want to be re-elected).

How pesticides could ever be considered "Organic" is a complete sham!  It should be a criminal offense and people who put these rules into practice should be forced to eat mouthfuls of these pesticides as well as drink the water polluted be these harmful chemicals.

Our country is being ruled by greedy people who only care about fattening their wallets at the expense of peoples health and wellness. 

I for one will never apply for an "Organic Farm" license.  I hope Americans realize what is happening to their food and start small farms that never use chemicals to grow their food.

As always I urge you to do your own research and remember I am not a doctor so always check with your doctor before using any spice, herb or plant.  (I only say this to avoid lawsuits).  And always remember, your doctor makes money by writing drug prescriptions and they don't study natural healing methods (for the most part... some do).

How I Beat Diabetes And You Can Too!

Those who know me know I have traveled a long bumpy and painful road to recover from a stroke that nearly ended my life.  It has been almost 2 years since that awful day and I wanted to let you know what worked and what didn't work for me to be healthy and 100% MED FREE!

That's right, med free and I no longer see a doctor for checkups and blood tests.

So, what did I do to get rid of the prescriptions and confident enough not to see doctors regularly?

You see, for the first year after the stroke, I did what the doctors told me to do.  They had me on so many pills and the pills were causing even more problems.  (That is the problem with drugs, the side effects can be just as bad as what the problem is, to begin with.)  I had my doctor change my drugs for high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes often because the side effects were horrible.

One day, I was so fed up with the drugs, I asked my doctor if I stuck to a diet of just vegetables and got plenty of exercises could I reverse my type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. He said "NO!".  He said my condition was progressive and soon I would have to inject insulin every day.  I said, "You want to bet?".

That is the day I decided to do as much research as possible, to discover what foods, herbs, and plants were best to treat type 2 diabetes.  What I discovered is only the tip of the iceberg. I'm sure there is more to discover, but this is what I know as of now.

From the plants I eat now, I have lost more than 100 lbs., got my blood pressure corrected, gotten rid of high cholesterol, cleared up a skin condition and have other issues back to normal...  I used to have neuropathy in my feet and legs and would wake up from the pains shooting through. No more pain these days!

In other words, I have transformed my body into a healthier condition than it has been since I was in my 20's.  I still have a ways to go but I feel and look a lot better than 2 years ago.

Now don't get me wrong.  I'm am not putting doctors down.  They do what they are trained to do.  Most are very good at what they do (for the most part) and that's keeping you alive.  But they aren't the end all to getting diseases cured and treating the root cause as to why people have diabetes.  (Most doctors and people think it is from eating too much sugar.  That is another discussion for another day but you would be surprised what really is the cause in most cases.)  Doctors treat the immediate symptoms with drugs.  And drugs are not the solution to getting rid of the problem.  Drugs are a temporary fix ONLY!... making you a regular customer dependent on doctors to stay alive and not to suffer strokes, heart attacks or worse.

And to prove my point, why have doctors been prescribing opiates for years to control pain thinking these drugs were not addictive.  Why would they put their trust in a drug company? Now this country has the highest amount of heroin users than ever before because of this practice.  Thousands have also died from these prescriptions as well. So don't believe what your doctors tell you because they are not the end all to knowing everything just like I am not either.  Always question what people tell you and do your own research!!!

So here are my top plants that I use and you should try them as well.  What do you have to lose???... your prescription medications!

1.  My number one go-to plant is Moringa.  I have been using this now for almost 1 year and have taken more and more of it daily to achieve my health goals. I consume on average 35 pills a day now.  I don't recommend anyone else taking that amount to start with.  If you have an illness like diabetes then start with 3-4 pills in the morning and 3-4 pills at night.  Make sure your pills are 100% MORINGA and not cut with something else.  Each pill should be around 500 mg.  Below is what moringa leaves look like.

2.  Curry leaves.  I consume curry leaves every day now.  Eaten raw on an empty stomach will keep blood sugars under control.  I also cook with the leaves and put about 10-15 leaves in my scrambled eggs every morning.  I like the taste and aroma.  I rough chop the leaves before sauteing them with onions and a spicy sliced pepper.  

Don't confuse curry leaves with curry sauces.  Curry leaves are not used to make curry sauces.  Below is what curry leaves look like.

These are my meds right now.  I will be adding turmeric and ginger in the future.  But for now, this is all I take and they have replaced my doctor and meds and just might do the same for you.

One more thing... I replaced meats with vegetables and I walk 2 miles every day.  I feel better and all I can do is report what is working for me.  Your health is based on your lifestyle.  Eat junk food every day and your health will also be junk.  It is a life choice and I choose to live pain-free and healthy for as long as possible. I sincerely hope and wish you well and all the very best.

As always I urge you to do your own research and remember I am not a doctor so always check with your doctor before using any spice, herb or plant.  (I only say this to avoid lawsuits).  And always remember, your doctor makes money by writing drug prescriptions and they don't study natural healing methods (for the most part... some do).

Succulants That Can Get You Super Healthy

Succulents are easy to grow and most are beautiful to look at.  They make easy to care for houseplants especially for those who don't water their plants very often.  

But what I care about are plants that heal and are good to eat.  Here are some that fit the health test...

Purslane, also called Verdolaga, is a succulent edible weed.  It appears in late spring and is discarded and picked out of gardens as invasive weeds.  But those picking it and throwing it away are missing out of one of the healthiest weeds ever.  

Purslane is high in Omega 3 Fatty Acids!  This is rare in the plant community.  Normally thought of as something you could only get from fish, now you can get plenty of Omega 3 Fatty Acids from this remarkable, even tasty succulent. One more plant I grow on my farm and enjoy eating!

Dragon Fruit

These beautiful pink fruits come from a night-blooming cactus commonly known as the queen of the night. Their flavor is very mild.

Dragon fruit has a high level of vitamin C, minerals, and is involved in fighting free radicals and possessing antioxidant properties. Vitamins B1, B2, B3, as well as calcium, phosphorous, iron, protein, niacin, and fiber also contribute to improving the functioning of your immune system.

Optunia

It's a fruit, called “tuna” in Mexico, but commonly known as the prickly pear stateside.  They taste like a combination of bubblegum and watermelon.
Opuntia has flat, oval leaves that can be boiled or grilled and used in salads, soups, salsas, and tacos. The fruit can be peeled, sliced, and eaten raw or juiced.  My grandma used to make jam from the fruit.

The leaves are packed with fiber and calcium and just 23 calories per cup. The fruit is also low in calories and high in vitamin C.

These are just 3 succulents that are healthy and very tasty as well.  There are more so...

As always I urge you to do your own research and remember I am not a doctor so always check with your doctor before using any spice, herb or plant.  (I only say this to avoid lawsuits).  And always remember, your doctor makes money by writing drug prescriptions and they don't study natural healing methods (for the most part... some do) .

Eat Curry Leaves On An Empty Stomach And This Will Happen...

Eating Curry Leaves On An Empty Stomach And This Will Happen...

I grow curry trees on my farm. The leaves I cook. I prepare the leaves by rough chopping about 15 leaves to put into my scrambled eggs. The leaves have a very strong aroma. The smell fills my entire house. Once cooked the taste is sweet. Eaten raw and they taste bitter.

Rafi (who I met while growing Moringa trees) gave me a small curry tree in exchange for Moringa trees. The picture above is my tree and since growing it, I have seen it grow rapidly in a mixture of compost and cow manure. I now have over 25 trees from just a few. They rapidly grow new trees from the parent tree.

Curry leaves are loaded with carbohydrates, fiber, calcium, phosphorous, iron and vitamins like vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin E. Curry leaves help your heart function better, fights infections and can regrow your hair and improve your skin with vitality.

While it is a common saying that curry leaves help hair re-growth, there are plenty of other changes that occur in the body when it's digested.

Curry leaves assist in digestion and fight anemia. That's because this herb is rich in folic acid and iron. However, other benefits of these miraculous leaves can be found when you eat it on an empty stomach.

Before you do anything in the morning, try eating 4-5 raw curry leaves if you want to fight diabetes. Turns out, curry leaves regulate blood sugars in diabetics.

You will also be healing various eye disorders like a cataract. It is known to improve vision as well.

While this herb is loaded with nutrients, excess consumption of it could produce some side-effects. It is known to cause nausea. So be careful not to take too much.

If you are diabetic, this is worth trying... if only to get off meds that doctors prescribe and have a whole lot worse side-effects than natural plants like curry trees.

As always I urge you to do your own research and remember I am not a doctor so always check with your doctor before using any spice, herb or plant.  (I only say this to avoid lawsuits).  And always remember, your doctor makes money by writing drug prescriptions and they don't study natural healing methods (for the most part... some do) .
