Eating fruits - SOME GOOD READING FOR EATING OF FRUITS

Eating Fruit - this opened my eyes.

Dr Stephen Mark treats terminal ill cancer patients by "un-orthodox" way and many patients recovered. He believes on natural healing in the body against illnesses. See the article below.

Dear Shereen,
Thanks for the email on fruits and juices. It is one of the strategies to heal cancer. As of late, my success rate in curing cancer is about 80%. Cancer patients shouldn't die. The cure for cancer is already found. It is whether you believe it or not? I am sorry for the hundreds of cancer patients who die under the conventional treatments.. .

Thanks and God bless. 

Dr Stephen Mark

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat.
******* 
What is the correct way of eating fruits? 
*******
IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. 
*******
If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities. 
*******
FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so. 
*******
In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.... 
*******
So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining — every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc — actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat! 
******
Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach. 
*******
There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight. 
*******
When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins. 
*******
But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look! 
*******
KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.
*******
APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.
******
STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.
*******
ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.
*******
WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene — the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium. 
*******
GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.
*******
Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion... Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
******
A serious note about heart attacks HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE': (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!) Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive.

Product Information – Glutathione in Cordyceps

Cordyceps Sinensis is considered one of the most valued Chinese medicinal herbs. It contains great amounts of important and active nutrients like: cordycepic acid, cordycepin, amino acid, Glutathione /glutamic acid, polysacharrides, vitamin B12 and more. There has been numerous research about Glutathione, one of the most valuable components of Cordyceps which is also a powerful naturally occurring antioxidant in all human cells.

Glutathione is found in all cells in the body, including the bile, the epithelial lining fl uid of the lungs, and also in the blood. The highest concentration of Glutathione is found in the liver, making it very important in the cleansing and elimination of free radicals. Accumulation of these dangerous free radicals can result in oxidative stress, which occurs when the generation of free radicals in the body
exceeds the body’s ability to neutralize and eliminate them. Metabolically, Glutathione has many functions. Glutathione plays a substantial role in the body’s immune system. Its antioxidant property makes it vital to white blood cells (lymphocytes) as it allows them to reach their full potential
during the oxygen-requiring activity of the body’s immune response.

Glutathione is known to have multiple functions. It detoxifi es many foreign compounds and abnormal cell producers, both organic and inorganic. It is essential for the immune system to exert its full potential and maintain control of the immune response. It plays a fundamental role in numerous metabolic and biochemical reactions such as DNA synthesis and repair, protein synthesis, prostaglandin synthesis, amino acid transport and enzyme activation. Thus, every system in the body can be aff ected by the state of the Glutathione system, especially the immune system, the nervous system, the gastrointestinal system and the lungs.

Glutathione is the regulator and regenerator of immune cells and it is the most valuable detoxifying agent in the body, detoxifi cation of toxins and carcinogens, enhancement of the immune system, and protection from oxidation and enzyme activations. Glutathione has strong antiviral properties. If there are higher levels of Glutathione in the tissues and serum, then the replication of most pathogens are stopped. Conversely, if the levels of Glutathione are low, then conditions become much
more favourable for viruses.

The health benefi ts of the Glutathione component in Cordyceps is extremely important to the immune system and to the general well-being.

Eid Mubaruk to all

The Immune System. It’s what keeps us alive and kicking.

The Immune System.  It’s what keeps us alive and kicking.   Most of us don’t give much thought to our Immune System. We think it’s doing a pretty good job.  After all, the evidence is there.  When we get a cut, it heals. When we get a cold, we sneeze and cough, but it goes away.  When we have a stomach bug, we feel crook while our body fights off the cell invaders, but we spring back.

That’s all very well and good, but how do you know whether your immune system is truly functioning properly?  Is it sound enough to deal with more serious, long-term health risks and diseases?  Or are there areas that need improvement? Well, let’s go back to basics.  Just what is the Immune System and how does it work? To paraphrase Wikipedia:

“An Immune System is a system of biological structures and processes within an organism that protect against disease by identifying and killing pathogens and tumour cells.
The typical vertebrate Immune System consists of many types of proteins, cells, organs, and tissues that interact in an elaborate and dynamic network.  The human Immune System also adapts over time to recognize specific pathogens more efficiently. This adaptation process creates immunological memory.
Disorders in the Immune System can result in disease, including autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases and cancer.  Immunodeficiency diseases occur when the Immune System is less active than normal, resulting in recurring and life-threatening infections.  Autoimmune diseases result from a hyperactive Immune System attacking normal tissues as if they were foreign organisms.
Further investigation in the field of immunology is expected to play a serious role in promotion of health and treatment of diseases.”

Well, so now we should have a little more respect for the Immune System.
And we know it’ll work hard to keep us in good shape, but only if we reciprocate.
So that comes down to the air we breathe, the food we eat, the liquids we drink, and the workout we give it. In an ideal world we would consume healthy organic food, drink only pure water, breathe only fresh clean air, and stay active.  It’s really not rocket science!

But take a look around you!  Most of us live in crowded cities, leading busy lives, rushing to fit in all that needs to be done in a hectic day.  Fast food, short cut meals and sugary food and drinks tempt us constantly.  Who has time to source good ingredients to cook quality healthy meals?  Adults and kids alike are less active and as a consequence our society as a whole is getting fatter, and chronic preventable disease is on the rise.

So here our bodies are, working hard to compensate and keep up with the abuse we throw at them.  But this can’t go on forever without something giving way.  And imperceptibly, over the years, our bodies rebel.

There’s no shortage of early indicators of immune dysfunction.  You have been warned!
For example, recurrent viral infections, frequent colds and flu, inflammations and infection of the sinus, ears or throat and recurrent bronchitis or cystitis can be an obvious one.
Some people experience recurrent skin infections, like fungal problems (eg Candida), herpes, or bleeding gums.

Others find their energy levels are a problem, and just put it down to hard work or stress.  But poor stamina, sleepless nights, chronic fatigue and reduced resistance under stress may be your immune system wearing out.

And of course, there’s pain.  Gout, rheumatoid arthritis, acid reflux or heartburn and eczema are more than merely unpleasant experiences.  They’re a red flag that your immune system is undermined.
And when it comes down to the serious, potentially life threatening and debilitating conditions, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes, you know your immune system is in real trouble.
So now you know why you should improve your immune system. But how can you? 
Our body is the best doctor.  We’ve already seen that we’re designed to fight disease with our natural immune systems. But we need to help it along a little.

People use excuses all the time to justify bad behaviour.  So just because you say, “I don’t have the time, energy or resources to lead a healthy lifestyle” doesn’t mean you can’t.
Supplementing your dietary intake with some of the super herbs like Ganoderma (otherwise known as Lingzhi or Red Reichi) and Spirulina is a great beginning.  That’s because when we really can’t get sufficient quality nutrients in our regular diet, (even when we try hard) it’s certainly much easier to turn to a high quality supplement.

These Immune System boosters, vitamins and supplements have been proven to be highly effective in improving and maintaining the Immune System.

Is it time for a cold hard look at your diet?
Naturally, your choice of food and cooking methods should be of prime importance, so let’s take a look at some immune boosting foods that should form the basis of your diet.
Time to go back to basics with raw fruits and vegetables (include raw vegie juices daily for a quick, easy shot), free-range eggs, oily fish, (salmon, sardines, tuna), avocados, fresh seafood, legumes, raw nuts and seeds.

• Spices such as chilli, ginger, raw garlic and onion. These also add interest to your cooking.
• Cold pressed seed and vegetable oils are certainly the standout oils.
• Raw fenugreek, fresh wheat-germ, flaxseed (cold pressed oil) barley grass, (juice or sprouted seeds) wheat grass juice, and freshly spouted seeds and beans.  Maybe a bit different to what you’re used to, but try some.
• Seaweeds such as kelp, dulse, agar-agar, nori, arame, kombu, wakame and hijiki are widely available in Japanese sushi and sashimi.
• Good old cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussel sprouts and kohlrabi – don’t you just love them!  Many people don’t, but as they contain phyto-nutrients that protect against infections and cancer, it’s time to get more creative in your cooking and learn to love them!
• Foods such as soybeans, alfalfa and flaxseed contain good source of plant hormones, known to reduce the risk of many cancers.
• Minerals are vital for the Immune System.  Those especially beneficial are Magnesium, Zinc Chelate and Selenium.
• Ensure adequate vitamin C intake by eating citrus fruits, red onion and green peppers, kiwi fruit, tomatoes, and supplement if you need to, with approximately 1000 > 2000 mg per day Roselle Juice.
• Consume “Super Food” Supplements, like Ganoderma, Spirulina, Cacao, Maca, Aloe Vera, Hempseed, Goji Berries.
• Drink 8 to 10 glasses of filtered water daily even if you think you don’t need it.
• Make regular exercise a part of your daily regime. Exercise does wonders for your immune system and overall health, not to mention your looks!

So there you have it: a pocket guide to the Immune System.  It needs your help; and you can’t afford not to give it.  Is it time to get your house in order?

Spirulina - A short review on its Phytonutrients,Arginine, GLA and Phycocyanin

What is Arginine?Arginine is an amino acid (non essential) that has numerous functions in the body. It helps the body get rid of ammonia (a waste product), is used to make compounds in the body such creatine, L-glutamate, and L-proline, and can be converted to glucose and glycogen if needed. Arginine is used by the body to make the nitric oxide, a compound in the body that relaxes blood vessels. Preliminary studies have found that Arginine may help with conditions that improve when blood vessels are relaxed (called vasodilation), such as atherosclerosis and erectile dysfunction. Arginine also assists in keeping the blood clean. Arginine is important for the production of (male) seminal fluid which is about 80% arginine. DXN Spirulina contains 47.6 mg of Arginine. Ref: -Spirulina book from Harald W. Tietze. / Wikipedia

What is GLA – Gamma Linolenic acid ?The human brain is around 80% fat. Nerve tissues in the brain need “healthy” fats in order to function properly, and GLA is one of the healthiest fats you can consume. That’s why human breast milk contains high quantities of GLA. In fact, breast milk is the # 1 source of GLA on the planet, and Spirulina is #2. Breast milk contains GLA because infant humans need to quickly build brain mass in order to boost their chances of survival. Spirulina is highly recommended for the non breast-fed. Spirulina contains 35mg of GLA.

What is Phycocyanin ?Spirulina is Blue / Green algae. Green being Chlorophyll (stored sunlight) and blue being phycocyanin (helps produce new stem cells in the bone marrow). Blue pigmentation in foods is extremely rare. The chemical reality of Spirulina’s blue colour is demonstrated by its eff ect in the nervous system and brain. Here phycocyanin (a biliprotein) helps draw together amino acids for neurotransmitter formation, which increases mental capacity.

DXN Spirulina contains 420mg Phycocyanin. Recommended is 3 grams of Spirulina per day for maintenance and prevention.

Best Health Boosting Medicinal Mushroom is Ganoderma (Reishi)

If you take only one medicinal mushroom, make it Ganoderma.  Also known as Red Reishi in Japan or Lingzhi  in China, Ganoderma Lucidum is a type of mushroom that’s renowned for its fantastic medicinal properties and has been used in traditional medicine throughout Asia for centuries.  Documents confirm it’s been in use for more than 2000 years. There are 2 parts to the mushroom, the red fruit body, and the root system.

Reishi Gano or RG capsules contain pure Ganoderma Lucidum powder from the fruit (that’s the red disc-like part in the picture). Ganocelium or GL capsules contain pure Ganoderma Mycelium powder from the root (they’re the long straggly bits).

RG contains over 400 different nutrients, while GL contains over 200.  So we’re talking about some very power-packed capsules.

And just why is this particular mushroom so good for you?
Talk to any practitioner of herbal, traditional and Chinese medicine, or any nutritionalist or naturopath.  In their rich armoury, medicinal mushrooms feature strongly.  There’s a reason for this.  Firstly, they’re a natural product (well, that stands to reason).
But mostly it’s because the nutrient-rich Ganoderma Lucidum medicinal mushroom is the most nutrient-rich of all the medicinal mushrooms.
Ganoderma contains a vast array of Polysaccharides, Organic Germanium, Adenosine, Tripterpines, amino acids, ganoderic acids, anti-oxidants, proteins, vitamins, minerals and enzymes. It’s also classed as an adaptogen, which means it can enter and clean toxic cells. Phew. That’s a lot for a single plant.  You can see why practitioners and users sing its praises.

The key benefits of Ganoderma reach all parts of the body More and more clinical research into Ganoderma is confirming what the practitioners of old already knew.  That Ganoderma can help reduce the incidence and effects of many major diseases and conditions. Here’s a snapshot of some of these studies.

1. Cardiovascular disease – in inhibiting platelet aggregation and reducing hypertension.
2. Immune system – in particular, in cancer research, recording positive immune-modulating effects and reduced side-effects from chemotherapy and radiation.
3. Blood sugar balance – with a blood sugar lowering effect, elevation of plasma insulin levels, and enhanced liver metabolism of glucose.
4. Anti-inflammatory effects – showing comparable effects to hydrocortisone.
5.  Liver protector - studies with Hepatitis B Patients found Ganoderma reduced the elevated levels of liver enzymes to normal range.
6. Oxygenation – a reduction in altitude sickness by oxygenating the blood.

And here’s good news especially if you have a busy lifestyle.
Ganoderma is the most alkaline food in the world.  You probably didn’t know this, but most of us have bodies that are in a state of acidosis.  Sadly, that’s not good news. In short, we eat too many acidic foods and drinks too many acidic drinks (even though they may not taste tart).

The body operates at its best and most efficient when in a slightly alkaline state.  But acidosis means that instead of being in a peak fighting state, it’s fighting with one hand tied behind its back.
Ganoderma helps restore the body’s pH balance to it’s preferred alkaline state.  With regular use, it’s back to a fair fight.  And with some 150 disease that can’t survive in an alkaline body, it’s a fight you really want to win.

You may feel fit and healthy now, but what happens when lifestyle catches up?
You’d be living under a rock not to know that chronic disease is on the rise.  And the seeds are sown early on.  It’s just that we don’t see it coming.

Diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, obesity and many other conditions are by and large a result of the body’s own immune system under stress.  The major organs that clean our cells become overloaded with a toxic mass because of lifestyle and eating choices and can’t cope.  This happens over a number of years.  It’s disease by stealth.

So the organs have to store those toxins in our cells until they can get around to dealing with them all.  Imagine it’s a bit like rubbish bins on the street.  Unemptied, the bins overflow, and turn nasty.  Before you know it, you’re dodging and weaving around mess.  And the smell!  Well, imagine your poor body having to storing up its waste in different parts of you and how inefficient that makes its functioning!
And once the cleaning functions are impaired, there’s only one way to go, and that’s downhill.
But a lot of this is reversible. Just because you have chronic disease, doesn’t necessarily mean you’re condemned to have it forever.  A change of attitude, diet and lifestyle, together with regular use of Ganoderma can and has been shown to reverse many conditions.

So now you know more about Ganoderma, do you think it could help you too?
