Live healthy and long
Philippines | July 30, 2013
Because a lot of people around me have high blood pressure, I have been persistent in researching cheap cures for high blood pressure.
One such item I found is in the Food Pharmacy by Jean Carper. It is chili peppers.
Chili pepper has been found to be good: as fibrinolytic agent (dissolving clots, a blood thinner, as good as aspirin) and cholesterol lowering agent. The findings were made in Thailand and India (page166 and 167)
Dr. Sukon Visudiphan of Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok Thailand investigated the fibronylitic property of chili peppers. Thais are known to have spicy food, well containing mostly peppers. Thai doctors concluded that this must be the reason why thrombo embolism is rare among Thais. There was a rapid onset of clot dissolving upon eating of the peppers and soon reverted to normal thirty minutes upon eating.
In India, biochemists, in their study of rabbits at Central Food Technological Research in Mysore India, found out that feeding the animals with pure capsaicin and dry red peppers suppressed the production of cholesterol and triglycerides in the even if they were fed with cholesterol rich food.
This is an important findings because the rapid onset of the action of chili peppers means it can be used for high blood pressure emergency

Reducing your blood pressure the natural way - cheap cure
Live healthy and long
The still warm days still contribute to high incidence of high blood pressure. Some of our staff experience bp of 150/110 and this is rather abnormal. This is not rare in view of the warm conditions. We tried to research on how this could be overcome
What are the natural ways of reducing high blood pressure:
1. Dr. Mercola archives - Take garlic; garlic is not only anti fungal, or anti viral. It is good in controlling inflammation of the cardiovascular system - just compress a clove prior to swallowing it, or put a clove together with vegies in a juicer.
2. From the Food Pharmacy by Jean Carper - page 326. Mackerel, two cans per week can normalize your bp in just two weeks. Other foods are: olive oil, yogurt, seaweed, green tea, kelp (sea weed) (Download the book by Jean Carper)
3. Eating mackerel - this seems to be the quickest and surest way of lowering blood pressure. In a study conducted in Berlin, Germany a groups of men (24 in all) were studied. They received no medication for their mild hypertension and for the next 8 months, they were fed 3 ounces of mackerel 3x a week. Their omega 3 fatty acids rose but their bp nomralized.
Before the test, their bp averaged 149/99. However after just two weeks of 3 ounces of mackerel, their bp went down to only to 136/88. The bp went to the pre mackerel level when they stopped eating the mackerel. While mackerel is high in sodium, the omega 3 fatty acid could lower the bp on the average by 7% (that is a lot).
4. Blood thinners - onions and garlic. Both onions and garlic can prevent rbc from aggrupating and coagulating. So an onion a day keeps high blood pressure a day? (from Carper book page 194)
The most potent food drug in reducing high bp seems to garlic as was investigated by Dr Petkov in Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. He found out that garlic can reduce bp by:
systolic - 20 - 30 points
diastolic - 10 -20 points
(page 203)
5. Apple - also from Jean Carper book; an apple a day keeps the doctor a way. But 3 apples a day makes your heart healthy and lowers bp/cholesterol. Dr. Sable Amplis speculates that pectin, the substance in apple skin together with Vit C. helps reduce cholesterol by as much as 30% (page 115)
The GOOD NEWS IS THAT COFFEE DOES NOT NECESSARILY CAUSE BP TO SHOOT UP

Food pharmacy capsules
Live healthy and long
From Jean Carper's book:
Asthma: strong cup of coffee can stop an asthma attack; hot pungent foods, which are bronchodilators can be taken: chili, onions, horse radish, garlic, mustard. Fish oils relieve bronchial asthma (N. B. the other asthma, those who ask my wife for permissions, cant be cured by the above. Hahaha)
Constipation : wheat bran, dried fruits; most fruits and vegetables are good, soluble fibers in oats in barley help relieve constipation. Kelp also helps also same capsules for hemorrhoids.
Diarrhea: Yogurt with live cultures especially if caused by antibiotics; blueberries, currants, honey
For the young: whole milk, soya soybeans (take note of Mercolas precaution on soya having xenoestrogens and same estrogen content as birth control pills)

Food capsules from food pharmacy
Live healthy and long
I will be mentioning from food pharmacy (and they have been mentioned in Garden of Eden inforgraphics all ready) food capsules (list of foods and what they treat and cure/prevent)
Diabetes : concentrate on food that cause rise in blood sugar (low glycemic index) such as peanuts, lentils, kidney beans, milk, yogurt, apple and baked beans
Cavities: tea (I suppose unsweetened) are effective mouthwash. Commercial mouthwash may contain triclocsan, a poison and or alter mouth flora causing oral thrush. Others are cheese, grape juice (grape wine), milk, coffee.

Food for health; food as medicine
Live healthy and long
In the recent posts I made, attributed to Dr Mercola, there was a mention of GAPS, theory of Dr. Natasha Mcbride, namely that the Gut is the seat of neurologic and psychiatric health. Dr. Gerson therapy on cancer relies solely on nutrition and detox.
The thesis of many of the posts here, like the late posts shared from Garden of Eden is that food contributes to sound health, and prevention of diseases.
The book of Jean Carper, "The Food Pharmacy " has its main MVP, thesis, that food is the best medicine.
Some important findings on food (from Introduction of the book):
l. Food contains a lot of pharmacologic agent;
2. Some doctors are prescribing food as medicine;
3. Many folklore on food, are not just based on hearsay but supported by scientific evidenced based facts;
4. By making small changes in your diet, some chronic diseases: high blood pressure, diabetes, allergies may be stopped/reversed.

Cranberry Juice as Anti Bac for UTI
Effective Cures that are Cheap for Everyone
Dr.Anthony Sobota a microbiology professor at Youngstown State University in Ohio was looking for an effective anti bacterial for UTI. The ordinary antibiotics were not good enough. But old literature and folk cure suggests the use of cranberry juice which was proven to be effective. Literature on its use dated as early as 1860. In 1923, two physicians fed patients with cranberry, noted increase in hippuric acid, an anti bac. Later research showed that it was the quinic acid in cranberry juice that produced the hippuric acidl ( Being acidic makes it effective vs. kidney stones, calcium oxalate crystals which are basic)
There are two theories on why cranberry works so well in controlling uti: that it is acidity that kills germs or that it prevents the stickiness of the bacteria in the urinary tract. If the bacteria can not stick, then the bacteria can not harm the UT..
What is unique about the cranberry factor is that it remains potent despite GIT absorption or action of kidney.
However commercial cranberry juice in supermarkets or those coming from US comes laced with either HFCS or aspartame, not exactly very good for the health.
The other food with known anti bac properties are: apples, chili peppers, water chesnut,eggs, garlic, ginger, honey,hops, milk, radish, tea and yogurt.
This article is from pp 79 to 83 of "food pharmacy" by Jean Carper.

Chili and Other Spices Good for Colds and Other Respiratory Problems?
Effective Cures that are Cheap for Everyone
Again from " Food Pharmacy by Jean Carper. (pp 43-48
The authority on this subject is Dr Irwin Ziment who comes from UK and now lives in California USA.
Observations:
l. Chronic bronchitis is rampant among Brits for two reasons: smoking and the cold weather. It is not so common in areas like LA or Mexico where people eat spicy and hot dishes punctuated by chili, horse radish, wasabe
2. In the history of medicine, old medicine men used spices like garlic as respiratory drug.
>Ancient Egyptians recommended mustard for respiratory therapy;
>Hippocrates recommended vinegar and pepper for respiratory therapy
>Russians use horse radish to treat colds.
> Oriental medicine use capsicum pepper, black pepper, mustard, garlic, turmeric (yellow ginger) to treat colds, sinusitis, brochitis, ASTHMA.
> Roman physician Galen favored the use garlic for chest pains;
> Maimodes, a l2th century Jewish physician an expert on asthma, recommended "spicy chicken soup" for that condition,
> In the Middle Ages, mustard potion was used vs.ASTHMA, bronchitis, coughs and chest congestion
>Dr. Herberdeen, an English physician used garlic and mustard seed, to treat Asthma.
Expectorants, mucokinetic
The action of spices which makes your eyes water, is the same action on phlegms and mucus at the respiratory system. The spicy food triggers the vagus nerve to release a flash flood of watery fluids that thins the thick mucus, and eventually allows the rt cilia to drive them out.
Alliin in Garlic
Dr. Ziment's fav for respiratory medication is garlic which contains alliin (the major flavor in garlic) which is very similar to Mucodyne ( S. carboxymethylcysteine) a mucus regulating drug in Europe. (carboceistene) Combined with Vit C, alliin is broken down to a compound that is very close to mucodyne.
Mustard contains allyl isothiocyanate, a compound similar to alliin. Mustard is a traditional expectorant.
Carbocistine- mucolytic expectorant
Dr. Ziment recommends that garlic be zapped in a microwave to preserve alliin, before using or adding this to the food. Crushing the garlic converts alliin to allicin which has other use
