I'm confused - Does Tumeric & Curcuma do the same thing? Or is one more potent then the other? I understand that Tumeric is derived from Curcumin

Root but the articles jump back and forth regarding their use.

I love these health articles & have had friends & family join with your site.

Thank you,

You are partly right, beht, but rats do have a more similar dna to humans than most animals.

"We primates share common stretches of DNA with rats and mice that were not found in carnivores such as dogs and cats or hoofed animals such as pigs and cows." source, washingtonpost.com - lists.envirolink.org/.../005010.html

Be careful of animal studies. Guess what? Animals have different bodies and biochemistries than humans! Xylitol causes no change in blood sugar for humans, yet KILLS dogs because of what it does to dogs' blood sugar. Chocolate is toxic for dogs even in small doses, yet is an antioxidant for humans. The list goes on and on and varies from animal to animal, so quoting what something does to a rat doesn't necessarily say anything about what it does to a human.

Turmeric is known to deter and prevent Alzheimer's disease - an important fact that I'm surprised was overlooked in the list above.

Add it to sliced onions when you're grilling them to accompany hamburgers or steaks, or to rice dishes.

Thomas T, I haven't read HR's latest, but am convinced as to her 'authenticity'. The forgotten link is everything in moderation. "Cure for All Diseases" is a classic!

Hi All,

Garlic is a great antiparasitical food, though my Chinese medicine teacher mentiosns we shouldn't eat any food on a daily basis, as this diminishes its potency.

Another thing about garlic: it thins the blood, and as such it may not be beneficial on a daily basis for people with blood diseases. It is dangerous to give it to pets as it destroys their red blood cells! This was a new one for me as I thought Garlic was the best curative food and not toxic.

Having said all that, I regularly eat garlic and feel the better for it, even though I have a minor blood disease. It just has too many benefits. Its' all about moderation and adapting intake of foods to your own personal needs, as none of us are biochemical clones. I find the body tells us what it wants when we have gotten rid of the junk and if it's in reasonable health.

Blondebonnet,

I've used Black walnut tincture 5 times a day applied topically on my 2 infected cats, and the ringworm lesions and appearance was gone in 1 week. The trick is to apply this so many times. I did combine this with applying an anti fungal cream 2 x a day, but made sure they couldn't lick that off. My vet was so astonished with the results that he wrote it down, as they often get infected themselves, from dealing with the pets. I also find it important to give the animals a fresh food diet, regardless of wht vets say. Canned and dry food isn't good for people and we don't need dry food to get all our nutrients, you do need to research it a bit, but it seriously helps to restore and build their imune system. My cats had it as I rescued them and they came in the house with it. They soon had very shiny coats due to the fresh foods, and excessively lively!

Kind regards

Marisa

This is very interesting info. From the cultural POV, we can look at the spices consumed in terms of the social mood. In far east Indian Culture for example, they like cumin, coriander, lemon grass, tumeric, so we can see how the Indians are characteristically stronger in respect to the spices consumed.

Therefore, we can assume they're less prone to dementia, have balanced blood sugars, more calm than others, and have greater immunity to sickness. By the same token, we can assume that desire for certain spices by a person is an attempt to regulate a certain ailment or function.

According to traditional Chinese Medicine, a person interested in sweets is attempting to regulate physiological and/or emotional functions of the heart. A person interested in spicy hot foods is attempting to regulate functions of the liver, and so on.

That's great, but what do I do when I am allergic to something in most of them.

Is it that they are now spraying our herbs with Auxigro? That glutamate containing "fertilizer".

Or do they all just naturally contain a high amount of Histamine?

Choose the satay chicken. Satay Chicken in All hotels is nothing but cornflour, chemical food color and MSG.

You are better off eating the salads at any party that has catering services.

My close friend's Ukrainian-born grandfather ate garlic every day - (more than) several cloves raw - for decades...he lived with his son into his 90's... His son got remarried and the new wife 'couldn't stand' the smell of the garlic in the house and she made the son/husband stop the father from eating garlic..... Up to this time, the man was in outstanding health... Upon stopping eating the garlic, within a year and one-half, the man fell ill and died at the age of 97.....

ThomasT, Hulda Clark PhD is a fraud. She's got a PhD in crab physiology and a mail-order degree in Naturopathy. Don't call what she does a science. Where is the scientific proof of her idiotic claim besides few lines of pointless mumbling in her book?

Garlic has been one of the most potent cures for many illnesses for centuries. Everybody has recognized it from monks all the way to governments. And you will believe one crazy old lady that it causes cancer? Man, she claims to cure AIDS, HIV, and cancer in 3 minutes...enough said.
