Garlic, Honey & cider Vinegar - a miracle cure for arthritis, cholesterol, high blood pressure, cancer

Nature's wonder drug is a cheap way to beat obesity, cancer, arthritis
and more.

Top doctors have revealed that the combination of garlic, vinegar and
honey is a wonder drug that can cure everything from cancer to
arthritis. Amazing studies from respected universities around the world
prove the miracle home remedy that costs just pennies a day to make, is
a super way to fight just about any affliction. Experts have verified
that this health restoring trio of garlic, vinegar and honey can wipe
out both common and uncommon aliments. Successes include ache,
Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, asthma, high blood pressure,
haemorrhoids, infertility and impotence, toothaches, obesity, ulcers and
many other diseases and conditions. In a study of arthritis victims, Dr.
Angus Peters of the University of Edinburgh's Arthritis Research
Institute found a daily dose of vinegar and honey reduced pains by 90
percent.

A daily dose of garlic and vinegar has proved to be a powerful fat
destroyer and weight reducer, according to Dr. Raymond Fish of London's
famous Obesity Research Center.

The prestigious British medical journal Lancel reported that cholesterol
levels plunged on average from 237.4 to 221.4 after volunteers consumed
50 grams of garlic and four ounces of butter. The study proved the
dangers associated with high fat foods can be neutralised by adding
garlic to your diet. A study of 261 adult patients by the German
Association of General Practitioners indicated that serum cholesterol
and triglyceride level factors associated with the risk of heart
disease, are significantly reduced by regular use of garlic in the diet.
Studies at Houston's MD Anderson Cancer Institute in Houston, the
Pennsylvania State University and GCLA support earlier evidence that
certain ingredients in garlic block agents the cancer of the breast,
colon, oesophagus and skin. The National Cancer Institute found in a
study of 1,000 people that eating a lot of garlic is linked to a reduced
risk of stomach cancer. Dr. Etik Block of the State University of New
York at Albany has discovered garlic unleashes at least 100 sulphur
producing components, all of which are powerful medicines.

There appears to be little doubt that this astounding remedy of garlic,
vinegar and honey can extend life by protecting the user from many
proven killers.

Dr. Hen Lee Tsno writes in China's respected Journal of Natural
Medicines.

Patients given this miracle drink before breakfast showed a remarkable
reduction in high blood pressure and cholesterol in less than a week.
Ralim nutritionist Emlio Stelfani adds. Years of scientific
investigation by experts around the world have proven beyond a doubt
that garlic, vinegar and honey are natures magic potion. The three
powerful ingredients are available everywhere and they cost only pennies
a day. Considering all that these natural substances can do for human
health, it's amazing they are not more widely used. Dr. Jack Soltanoff a
nutritional expert from New York, praises the benefits of apple cider
vinegar. He's recorded remarkable success stories involving arthritis
sufferers, I have seen many arthritis patients start to loosen up at
once, says Dr. Soltanoff Some even call it (apple cider vinegar) a
natural arthritis tonic that free them from stiffness, pain and
throbbing aches.

Within just a few weeks, most pain wrecked arthritis patients can
perform normal activities because of this simple tonic. Boxing legend
Mohammed Ali reportedly takes a daily dose of garlic, vinegar and honey
to light the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and many other athletes use
it to gain a competitive edge. Dr. Tsao is sweet on the powers of honey.
Honey has been described as the perfect food notes the respected
researcher. It contains at least 31 nutrients, 13 minerals the
components part of nine vitamins, six acids and four key enzymes.
Patients who took the additional vinegar and honey drink daily, were
more vigorous, had fewer colds or infectious diseases and in general
were healthier than those who didn't. There's no question that this
astounding elixir can extend life by protecting you from many proved
killers.

Honey not only makes your daily dose taste better. The sweet stuff also
aids in your body's ability to absorb the medical properties of the
powerful ingredients. Garlic provides a storehouse of vitamins and
minerals, but what excites researches most is growing evidence that
allicin an enzyme present in large amount in garlic stimulates the
immune system.

Basic elixir recipe:

Here's how to make your own miracle medicine:

In a bowl, mix together one cup of cider vinegar - use only cider
vinegar - one cup of honey and eight cloves of chopped garlic. Place the
combination in a blender. And mix on high speed for 60 seconds. Pour the
mixture into Another jar of glass (container). Seal and leave in the
refrigerator for five days. Normal dosage is two teaspoons in a glass of
water or fruit juice, grape or orange juice are best, before breakfast.
A second dose, if desired, can be taken in the evening.

"Importance of having Breakfast"

Breakfast can help prevent strokes, heart attack and sudden death.

Advice on not to skip breakfast!

Healthy living
For those who always skip breakfast, you should stop that habit now!You've heard many times that "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day." Now, recent research confirms that one of the worst practices you can develop

may be avoiding breakfast. Why?
http://www.medicinenet.com/images/illustrations/heart_attack.jpg

Because the frequency of heart attack, sudden death, and stroke peaks between 6: 00a.m. and noon,with the highest incidence being between 8: 00a.m. and 10:00a.m.What mechanism within the body could account for this significant jump in sudden death in the early morning hours?

We may have an Answer.

Platelet, tiny elements in the blood that keep us from bleeding to Death if we get a cut, can
clump together inside our arteries due to Cholesterol or laque buildup in the artery lining.
It is in the morning hours that platelets become the most activated and tend to form these
internal blood clots at the greatest frequency.However, eating even a very light breakfast prevents the morning platelet activation that is associated with heart attacks and strokes. Studies performed at Memorial

University in St.Johns, Newfoundland found that eating a light, very low-fat breakfast was critical in modifying the morning platelet activation. Subjects in the study consumed either low-fat or fat-free yogurt, orange juice, fruit, and a source of protein coming from yogurt or fat-free milk. So if you skip breakfast, it's important that you change this

practice immediately in light of this research.

Develop a simple plan to eat cereal, such as oatmeal or Bran Flakes,along with six ounces of grape juice or orange juice, and perhaps a piece of fruit.This simple plan will keep your platelets from sticking together, keep blood clots from forming, and perhaps head off a potential Heart Attack or stroke.

So never ever skip breakfast

BRONCHIAL ASTHMA

clipped from mail.google.com
BRONCHIAL ASTHMA
Dry and tormenting cough is in most cases the first portent of the coming bout of bronchial asthma. Attacks of asphyxia begin all of a sudden and rapidly aggravate; they last from several minutes to several hours or even days (in complicated cases).
Bronchial asthma is an allergic disease, which appears as recurrent bouts of asphyxia.

Prevent Heart Disease

Prevent Heart
Disease

 by: Mike
Spencer

You should always keep in mind that whatever actions you do today can either
help to prevent, delay or minimize the effect of heart disease or worsen it. The
key is to control risk factors. Granted that you cannot control every risk
factor for heart disease such as family history but you can definitely do
something about your behavior. Age and gender also influence your risk of heart
disease.

Do you want to be thinner, healthy and fit?

Do you want to be thinner, healthy
and fit?

 by: Lucy E.
Riddell

While we offer an effective and natural fat loss product – the Jen Fe Next
Fat Loss Patch and the Power Patch, we also know that without a commitment from
you to bring about some lifestyle changes, you won’t reach optimal fat loss.
There is no product in the world that can produce fat loss while we are eating
and drinking excessively, and moving only slowly from couch to car to office
chair. We need a program of sensible diet and exercise that will support the
products we utilize to help our weight loss.

Here’s what to eat:

Magnets Can Strengthen Your Mind

Magnets Can Strengthen Your Mind

Tests in mice have shown that stimulating the brain with a magnetic coil appears to promote the growth of new neurons in areas associated with learning and memory.

If there is a similar effect in humans, it could lead to new ways of treating age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) refers to the use of a magnetic coil to induce electric fields in the brain tissue, which activates or deactivates groups of neurons.

It's thought that this process, called long-term potentiation (LTP), may help to strengthen brain circuits, thereby aiding learning and memory. It has previously been used experimentally to treat a range of brain disorders, including depression and schizophrenia, and to rehabilitate people after a stroke.

In the latest experiment, mice were given TMS for five days, after which their brains were analyzed for evidence of cell proliferation. Proliferation was enhanced in all areas of the brain tested, and there were large increases in the proliferation of stem cells in the dentate gyrus hippocampus. These cells are believed to play a crucial role in memory and mood regulation.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:

Magnet therapy is very exciting, and I have been intrigued with it for some time. While it rarely treats the cause of the problem, it certainly is far less dangerous than using drugs and, used wisely, is typically without side effects.

This is one type of therapy I would encourage you to consider and be sensitive to what future studies show that further document its efficacy and indications.

But beware because FDA regulations render it illegal to market any magnet therapy product that claims to treat any "significant" condition such as cancer, HIV, AIDS, asthma, arthritis, or rheumatism. So you will have to add the pieces together yourself because anyone who seeks to sell them to you will be clamped down by the FDA, as we all know that the primary purpose of the FDA is to "protect you."

Nevertheless, I've previously written about magnets to help with depression and even recently to avoid shark attacks, but now researchers have uncovered another potential: warding off Alzheimer's disease and age-related mental decline.

As the population continues to age, the number of people with Alzheimer's disease is expected to increase some 70 percent.

We are in the midst of an Alzheimer's epidemic. About 4.5 million people are affected today, and it is estimated that this number will increase to 7.7 million by 2030. Experts are calling this great increase in Alzheimer's cases a "looming public health disaster" that could potentially turn into an unmanageable health care crisis. So any potential cure deserves attention.

However, while this type of magnet therapy sounds promising, the best option when it comes to Alzheimer's and mental decline is to avoid it entirely. Mental decline is NOT a normal part of aging, and you can help protect your brain and mind by:
