Live healthy and long

August 19, 2015

From Livestrong

For tinnitus sufferers (1 in 20 adults) acupressure can relieve or even eliminate tinnitus.  The article prescribes the massage of the point  just at the opening of the ear. It is called SI 19, the listening place.  A small indentation appears at this point when you open your mouth.  Massage this gently with the tip of your finger. There are other points.  Please read the full article.

LIVESTRONG anti cancer site

This is the site set up by then 7 time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong.  He has since resigned from Livestrong board on account of is unhealthy doping controversy.

But Livestrong is a comprehensive site for anti cancer tips, diet, nutrition and above all support groups.  Lance used to have cancer and he depended on support groups and continued to visit and communicate with people who had cancer like him before

A LIVESTRONG Leader Story: Anne Posted: 23 Aug 2013 12:41 PM PDT LIVESTRONG to me means Unity. A place to go to and turn to when facing the toughest fight in your life. Because no one should face cancer alone. Together we are stronger.

A LIVESTRONG Leader Story: Ramon Posted: 23 Aug 2013 12:34 PM PDT One of the most powerful phrases is one contained in the manifesto that says: "Unity is strength, Knowledge is Power and Attitude is Everything". This phrase can resume for me everything that is LIVESTRONG.

Use of Health Magnets to relieve pains and aches

Live healthy and long

From Magnetic Science 

Here is a comprehensive article and Q and A on use of magnets for health.  Since ancient times, Ancient Greeks, Chinese, Arabs, and Indians have used magnets for health.  The oldest use has been traced 100,000 years ago in Africa, where African bloodstones, magnetites have been found.

Millions who use them swear by the instant relief they got from magnets for pains on joints, arms, legs, feet, back. 

Use of magnets is part of alternative medicine.  US Health Care costs one trillion dollars in l996 (it is 3 trillion dollars now and less than 10 % is used for alternative medicine

However there are conflicting views on magnets and health:

From LIve Science - Skalak Study at U V shows magnet reduced swelling in rats

From eHow - Health Benefits of Magnets

From Livestrong - static magnets have no positive effects on health according to NCCAM

From Consumer Health - How Magnets can Restore Energy and Health

From BBC news - Magnetic Therapies have no effect

Lemon Grass can cure Cancer? Israel Studies and JC Kurian

Live healthy and long

From Pulse, December 2012 

I have posted many healing plants from the Dr. JC Kurian book.  Lately I came across an article written by him at Pulse, a publication of Asia Pacific International University last December 20, 2012.  He writes that one of the benefits of lemon grass (Cimbopogon stratus) is its cancer healing property which was quoted from other publications.

Lemon grass usual use is aromatherapy and fragrance.  It is used for food flavors too and grows abundantly in the Philippines.  This is good news for cancer patients who are poor but who have access to lemon grass.

The curative powers of lemon grass must be published and made accessible to the public

The original study was made at Ben Gurion University (BGU) and published in Planta Medica. 
The research was made by Dr. Rivka Ofir and Prof Yakov Weinstein

Here are links to some of the studies:

From Scrib.d - Israel studies shows citral in Lemon grass kills cancer cells.  However this is just in vitro studies.

From Hub pages - just one gram of citral in lemon grass causes suicide of cancer cells

From Buzzle - Lemon Grass tea for cancer 

Zabidov farm in Israel a mecca for cancer patients for fresh lemon grass

From You Tube - Making Lemon Tea Grass 

Livestrong on Lemon Grass Cancer Cure

Lemon grass is plentiful in the PHL.  We could export lemon grass specifically for cancer cure.  Or make this a as part of medical tourism.

Coenzyme Q 10 Facts from Livestrong

Effective Cures Can be Cheap

Last week I found a product literature that purports that their product claim CO Q10 which is a papaya extract cum wild berry juice.  Naturally I got perplexed because current literature does not support thier claim.

And my internet research led me to the Livestrong web site.

Coenzyme is found naturally living organism, in the cell powerhouse, the mitochondria where the cell metabolism take place.  Coenzyme helps the enzyme do their job of speeding up the chemical reaction.  It is found in great concentration in all organs of the body except the lungs. CO Ql0 is an anti oxidant and help the cells scavenge toxic substances from within; and help maintain healthy growth of cells.  The amount of CO Ql0 decreases as you grow older so you must take increase amount of the co enzyme as you grow older.

It is found mostly in vegetables;  the co enzyme is lost in frying but in boiling or steaming the vegetables.  For the vegetable to be beneficial, it must be fresh and unprocessed and raw.

Foods that are rich in CO Ql0 are :   Brocolli, spinach, legumes, and cauliflower
