Happy pills in a jar for this season---Dark Chocolate

Its winter and the weather is chilly cold, recession is knocking at our door and we are worried about what gifts to send and a little depressed from stress, which can cause free radical build up and damage to our bodies. (Free radicals are highly charged atoms that are missing one electron, making them unstable. They enter our body through sunlight, poor diet, use of alcohol, tobacco, airborne chemicals, and stress; they steal an electron in order to gain electron stability. Free radicals target fatty acids, cell membranes which are rich in phospholipids, DNA, and proteins and in the process cellular activities are replaced by chaos of electron swapping, which eventually disrupts cell function. Free radicals are the primary factors in aging and inflammation because they produce random radical change and disrupt normal metabolic processes, over time leading to disease). So what can we do to reduce stress---bring some joy and Santa moments to our life this candy season; we can make time for candies--chocolates of course. Dark chocolate are little bitter, sweet and high antioxidant snacks that brings on pleasurable feelings because it releases natural feel-good chemicals called endorphins in your brain.
Dark Chocolate is a psychoactive food. It is made from the seeds of the tropical cacao tree, Theobroma cacao. The cacao tree was named by the 17th century Swedish naturalist, Linnaeus. The Greek term theobroma means literally "food of the gods". Dark chocolate made of cocoa bean from the plant (Theobroma cacao) is a rich source of flavonoids, rich in cell-protecting antioxidants.
                                          
                                         Other benefits of Dark chocolate:
  • Dark chocolates are highly loaded with epicatechin- an active member of a group of compounds called plant flavoniods. Epicatechin may improve blood flow and can potentially improve the health of the heart. 
  • Dark chocolates have antioxidant properties that are effective against aging caused by oxidative stress, inhibition of platelet activity, and activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase due to its flavonoids content. 
  • Flavoniods in dark chocolate prevents cholesterol from gathering in blood vessels, reduces the risk of blood clots, and slows down the immune responses that lead to clogged arteries. 
  • Dark chocolate was found to reduce blood pressure, improve blood flow and prevent plague formation in the arteries and had mild anti-clotting effects
  • Dark chocolate has potential cancer-fighting properties---immune boosting.

  • Dark chocolates improve cognitive function.

  • Pure dark chocolate improves endothelial function and increases plasma epicatechin concentrations that aids wound healing.

  • Pure cocoa can help elevate insomnia because it’s relaxing and can put you to sleep—you tend to dream more when you drink pure cocoa by nettle and eat dark chocolate

   Send an antioxidant gift to a friend ---organic dark cacao chocolate truffles as a Santa gift.

50 Common Toxic things that can cause cancer

Main Causes of Cancer from Andreas Moritz on Vimeo.

  1. Parasites
  2. Intestinal toxicity or digestive impairment                                      
  3. Depressed thyroid action
  4. Destructive negative emotions
  5. Chronic physical or mental stress
  6. Consumption of synthetic "non-foods"
  7. Diet or nutritional deficiencies
  8. Nerve interference fields
  9. Steady use of prescription drug e.g birth control pill.
  10. Steady use of non prescription drugs
  11. Steady use of street drugs
  12. Dental metal of all types
  13. Denation cavitations (Jawbone spaces left by poor tooth extraction)
  14. Dental root canals
  15. Dental amalgam fillings
  16. Toxic mental syndrome
  17. Mercury toxicity from any source
  18. Ingesting food addictive
  19. Consuming irradiated foods
  20. Immune-suppressive drugs
  21. Hormonal therapies
  22. Tobacco and smoking
  23. Drinking and bathing in polluted water, chlorinated water and fluoridated water
  24. Industrial toxin
  25. Pesticide/herbicide residues
  26. Nuclear radiation
  27. Overhead power lines
  28. Non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation from domestic appliances
  29. Microwave oven radiation
  30. Ionizing radiation
  31. Sick building syndrome
  32. Geopathic stress
  33. Chronic electromagnetic field exposure
  34. Long exposure to Sunlight's ultraviolet rays
  35. Atmospheric cosmic rays and X-rays
  36. Viruses
  37. Bacterial infections
  38. Blocked detoxification pathways
  39. Free radical pathology
  40. Cellular oxygen deficiency
  41. Adverse cellular terrain
  42. Oncogenes ( Cellular genes that change normal cells into cancer cells)
  43. Genetic predisposition
  44. Miasm (Energy residues of previous illnesses)
  45. Physical-Irritants, e.g; Asbestos
  46. Alcohol consumption 
  47. Chemical in toxic cleaning home products
  48. Harmful ingredients found in some cosmetics
  49. Toxins from Animal products decomposing e.g meat
  50. Lack of sleep

When we are exposed to any one of the above, it can affect us negatively, depending on the actual amount of the toxin the person is exposed to and how hazardous/ toxic it is. Toxicity and hazard are commonly used words but it is wise we understand that toxicity and hazard are two different words with different meaning that is closely related.

Note: Toxicity is the ability of  a chemical substance to cause harm.
           Hazard is the likelihood that a material will cause harm under certain conditions of use.

It is important to understand the distinction between human carcinogens and suspected human carcinogens.  The term human carcinogen is used when there is clear evidence of the ability to cause cancer in humans.  Suspected human carcinogen refers to chemicals that have been shown to cause cancer in two or more animal species and are therefore suspect in humans.

Vinegar helps to prevent colon cancer

According to the National cancer Institute, "As of January 2001, its estimated that there are 9.8 million cancer survivors living in the united states" and many others in Canada. There's hope through improved therapies and cancer targeted nutrition. Improved therapies has increased the number of people living beyond cancer.
There are many other things we can do to prevent and treat cancer.

Vinegar for Cancer:
Apple cider vinegar is made out of fresh and ripe quality apples, which are fermented and passed through a rigorous process to turn it into the final vinegar product. Apple Cider Vinegar is a natural remedy that heals and protects the human body.

Apple cider vinegar can help to get rid of cancerous growth: “Apple cider vinegar is not known to cure cancer. But, it may aid in fighting the free radicals that have the potential to form cancerous growth. The beta-carotene content acts as an antioxidant and effectively neutralizes the free radicals –free radicals are harmful bodies that could cause major damage to blood cells and body tissues” formed due to oxidation.

There many other health benefits of apple cider vinegar: It helps in weight loss, body metabolism, arthritis, detoxification, cholesterol level, diabetes, diarrhea, depression, asthma and to fight free radicals causing cancer, Relief from asthma, relieves nausea, skincare- (it will make your skin have glow from inside),hair care, and Pet care.
If you can tolerate the taste of apple cider vinegar, add it to your water and food moderately- you’ll see a difference. Go lite on vinegar too much of anything is not advised.

Vinegar Recipe:
You'll need water, honey, apple cider vinegar, ginger, cinnamon.
Begin by boiling some water
Grind ginger put it into the boiled water, then pour this into a teacup
Add 2 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
Add honey to sweeten if the vinegar taste is unbearable
Finally add pure powdered Cinnamon for flavor.
Optional: if you like you can add Tumeric instead of cinnamon
Note:1 tablespoon of each ingredient for one cup of water)
Sip slowly while it's warm-recipe created by Onyinye A

Also it's a smart choice to include as much antioxidant as possible to your diet such as garlic-(has antioxidant, antibacterial, fungal and antiviral properties), turmeric, olive oil, fruits high in vitamin C, dark color vegetables, Cruciferous Vegetables – Vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels, sprouts, kale, spinach, soy, red wine, green tea, tomatoes, blueberries, flax seedmushroom, Nuts such as walnut, pecans etc, fibers from whole grains such as Quinoa, oat, millet, Barley, brown rice, Bulgar wheat, buckwheat flour, Rye, Amaranth, Maize, muesli cereal etc- These contain a variety of anti-cancer compounds including antioxidants, fiber, and phyto-estrogens.  These can help decrease the risk of developing most types of cancer.

Note that: Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage and other cruciferous vegetables contains Sulforaphane. Sulforaphane helps boost production of the body's phase 2 enzymes that cart off dangerous residues of pro-carcinogens, those cancer causing precursors capable of damaging cellular DNA so therefore it is wise to include these cruciferous vegetables in your diet, especially if you have any trace of cancer in your family.

B17 supplement and Vitamin C helps as an antioxidant to prevent free radical and repair damaged tissues. B17 and Hemp has anti-cancer components that can help cancer patients but they have been made illegal by the government against their outweighing medical benefits as a cancer treatment instead they use chemotherapy to relieve symptoms. You're not been told by the prescribing Dr that chemotherapy is not helping you because the pharmaceutical companies are in with the hospitals they work for; cancer to cure cancer what kind of treatment is that? Talk to your doctor and get advice from an Alternative medical doctor (ND) before you decide on chemotherapy.

Avoid animal products such as red meat. Some fish are known to contain growth hormones, pesticide residues, mercury. Avoid food additive like artificial flavor or "unknown natural flavor, processed foods, high fat fast food, avoid toxic chemicals found in most cosmetics & cleaning products. Go nontoxic/organic as much as you can! Always try to eat clean.

Find Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

Do you know what Cancer really is?

Cancer is a new age disease that is caused by toxic chemical, pollutants, and many families are suffering today because of it.
All parts of our body are composed of cells. cells are constantly dividing and multiplying to replace old cells. A part of cell lifespan is to divide, multiple and die however, when this process is disrupted and cells grow out of control they form excess tissues known as benign tumor; this can occur anywhere in the body and may cause health problems but are not known to be life threatening. If cells are cancer cells they grow, divide and eventually form malignant tumor that invades nearby organs and surrounding tissues, eventually cancer cells breaks off and spread through the blood and lymphatic system to form other tumors.
According to world health organization " cancer will strike more than ten million people world wide this year. It is estimated that there will be fifteen million new cases every year by 2020".

There are more than 100 different kinds of cancer:
  • Carcinomas-Is the most common cancer that arise in the organ; about 80% of all cancers are carcinomas.Carcinomas occurs in the breast, prostrate, colon, skin(squamous and basal skin cancer).
  • Sarcomas-occurs in the muscle, fiber, tissue, fat, bone, cartilage-soft tissue.
  • Leukemia's- cancer of the blood cells arising in blood forming organs, bone marrows and the spleen.
  • Lymphomas will occur in the lymphatic system, network of vessels and nodes that access the filters of the body system).
  • Other kinds include melanomas which are not considered cancer although it arises from cells; it can occur anywhere in the body and affect the lymphatic system.
Cancer originating from the breast is metastasized-(meaning spread of cancer from its original site to other organs or tissues) to the brain, lung, liver or bone to form new tumors; This may happen rapidly or take a few weeks to a few years, eventually it takes over the body and destroys it, as this happens the person suffering cancer begins to feel the symptoms.


 

What causes cancer: cancer is caused by abnormalities or damage to cells genetic components that make cells to behave abnormally. In some cases, it is inherited and in other cases it could be caused by environmental factor such as viruses, smoking, expose to chemicals, ultraviolet radiation etc; not all causes are known yet to scientist, however it could be a combination of factors or just a single factor.
