Food for Thought

11 08 2010

I got this in an email, so take it for what it’s worth. I just think there are some interesting fun facts I would like to share our readers.

It’s been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish… All before making a human. He made and provided what we’d need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We’re such slow learners…

God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!

God’s Pharmacy! Amazing!

email_1.jpgA sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye… And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

email-2.jpg A  Tomato has four chambers and is red. The  heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes  are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart  and blood food.

email-3.jpgGrapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound  heart and blood vitalizing food. 

email-4.jpgA  Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower

cerebellums.  Even the wrinkles or folds on  the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen  neuron-transmitters for brain function.  

email-5.jpg Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

email-6.jpg Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

email-7.jpg Avocadoes,  Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today’s research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this?  It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them). 

email-8.jpgFigs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.  

email-9.jpg Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.

email-10.jpgOlives assist the health and function of the ovaries  

email-11.jpg Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

email-12.jpgOnions look like the body’s cells. Today’s research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.  

I hope you enjoyed these fun facts. Remember to eat raw fruits and vegetables of all colors and drink plenty of Kangen alkaline and ionized water to boost your antioxidant levels and alkalize your body.



Kangen Water Treatment For Cancer

31 01 2007

How It Works
Kangen water is very alkaline (pH of 8.5 to 9.5), has a high redox potential (i.e. it is a good antioxidant because its ORP value is very negative -250 to -800), and its water molecules are in smaller clusters than those of normal water. All these things, directly or indirectly, help inhibit the spread of cancer and aid in killing cancer cells. However, there is not enough evidence to categorize Kangen water as a stand-alone treatment plan.

Kangen Water
Kangen water works on cancer in three major ways. It is a good antioxidant, meaning it has a very negative ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) value from -250 to -800. Due to the very negative ORP, it neutralizes free radicals (i.e. ROS - Reactive Oxygen Species) , making many oxygen molecules available to the cancer cells — either to slow the growth of cancer or to kill the cancer cells. This is done with the hydroxyl ions in the ionized water.

Unlike hydrogen peroxide, which adds oxygen molecules to the body (i.e. they don't already exist in the body), Kangen water makes existing oxygen molecules, which are already in the body, available to the cancer cells by giving them electrons. This is advantageous because it removes damaging free radicals at the same time.

Kangen water is also very alkaline (i.e. pH 8.5 to 9.5). Cancer cells do not thrive in an alkaline environment:    

Dr. Keiichi Morishita in the book, The Hidden Truth of Cancer, states that if the blood develops a more acidic condition, then these excess acidic wastes have to be deposited somewhere in the body. If this unhealthy process continues year after year, these areas steadily increase in acidity, and their cells begin to die.

Other cells in the affected area may survive by becoming abnormal; these are called malignant. Malignant cells do not respond to brain commands. They undergo a cellular division that is out of control. This is called cancer.

Modern medicine in America treats these malignant cells as if they were bacteria or viruses. It uses chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery to treat cancer. Yet none of these treatments will help very much, if after all of that, the acidic environment remains.

Drinking water that has a high alkaline pH, because of its de-acidifying effect, will help in preventing cancer. In Asia, alkaline water is regularly served to patients, and is considered a regular part of treatment.

Water molecules in our body do not exist individually, but in clusters. Kangen water clusters are significantly smaller than normal water clusters. A water cluster generally consists of about a dozen water molecules. Because the cluster is so big, the water clusters cannot penetrate many places in the body. By making clusters half that size, in terms of the number of water molecules per cluster, the clusters (i.e. the water) can penetrate into more places in the body. The shape of Kangen water clusters (a hexagon) also helps them get into places regular water cannot go. Reducing the size of the water clusters and their resulting hexagonal shape are sometimes called making “wetter water.”

Additionally, Kangen water removes a lot of toxic waste products from the body. There are, in fact, many other benefits to drinking Kangen water, many of which can be found at Kangen Water Report and Juan's Web site .

Kangen water is considered a primary treatment in Japan or Korea (where most of the research seems to be taking place) because of its antioxidant activities. Since several less-effective antioxidants are considered to be primary treatments, it is only reasonable that this would also be considered a primary treatment.

Another treatment to consider is taking a bath in Kangen water. The best way to do this is using Enagic’s Anespa bath and shower unit . This will help get oxygen into the body without having to go through the digestive tract. Add a gallon, or more, to your bath water. If you are using the Anespa unit, it will not be necessary to add any additional Kangen water to the bath.

Supercharging This Treatment
Take sea salt (1/4 teaspoon per quart) with Kangen water. Also, make sure you take a good mineral supplement, preferably one with trace elements. A good calcium supplement will also help make your body alkaline.  It is imperative to stop drinking all types of soda and consuming refined sugar (soda and refined sugar are very acidic and offset the alkalinity of the Kangen water). It is recommended to drink between 1 gallon and 2 gallons of Kangen water a day.  In order to get the full effect of the hydroxyl ions, drink the Kangen water within a few hours of producing it.

If cancer is present due to an intake of trans fatty acids (e.g. margarine, etc.), then trans fatty acids, hydrogenated oils, etc. should be avoided, to make sure the oxygen clusters are absorbed into the cancer cells.  Even though the Kangen water molecule clusters are smaller than normal water molecule clusters, avoiding these trans fatty acids will help to make the cells more able to absorb large molecules.  Other antioxidants that could be combined with Kangen water are: vitamins C and E, the minerals zinc and selenium, and the natural substances Lycopene (or add tomatoes to your vegetable juice), CoEnzyme-Q10, N-Acetyl Cysteine, and the minerals manganese, copper and zinc (copper:zinc in 1:15 ratio).

This treatment should not be considered a “major” alternative cancer treatment.

An alternative cancer treatment should be a complete treatment protocol.  Please make sure to study the complete treatment protocol for Stage I, II and III cancer patients and the complete treatment protocol for Stage IV cancer patients.

The Underlying Causes of Cancer

28 12 2006

The following site is hugely informative about fighting cancer naturally.  Please check out the whole thing.

The Underlying Causes of Cancer 

Cancerous cells are always being created in the body. It's an ongoing process that has gone on for eons. So parts of your immune system are designed to seek out and destroy cancer cells.

Cancer has been around as long as mankind, but only in the second half of the 20th century did the number of cancer cases explode. Contributing to this explosion are the excessive amounts of toxins and pollutants we are exposed to, high stress lifestyles that zap the immune system, poor quality junk food that's full of pesticides, irradiated and now genetically modified, pathogens, electromagnetic stress, lights, and just about everything that wasn't here 200 years ago.

All these weaken the immune system, and alter the internal environment in the body to an environment that promotes the growth of cancer.

Cancer is not a mysterious disease that suddenly attacks you out of the blue, something that you can't do anything about. It has definite causes that you can correct if your body has enough time, and if you take action to change the internal environment to one that creates health, not cancer, while at the same time attacking cancerous cells and tumors by exploiting their weaknesses.

Cancer tumors begin when more cancerous cells are being created

What is Redox?

8 12 2006

Redox

Semi-accurate illustration of a redox reaction

Redox reactions include all chemical processes in which atoms have their oxidation number (oxidation state) changed.

This can be a simple redox process, such as the oxidation of carbon to yield carbon dioxide, it could be the reduction of carbon by hydrogen to yield methane (CH4), or a complex process such as the oxidation of sugar in the human body, through a series of very complex electron transfer processes.

The term redox comes from the two concepts of reduction and oxidation. It can be explained in simple terms:

Oxidation describes the loss of an electron by a molecule, atom or ion Reduction describes the gain of an electron by a molecule, atom or ion

However, these descriptions (though sufficient for many purposes) are not truly correct. Oxidation and reduction properly refer to a change in oxidation number — the actual transfer of electrons may never occur. Thus, oxidation is better defined as an increase in oxidation number, and reduction as a decrease in oxidation number. In practice, the transfer of electrons will always cause a change in oxidation number, but there are many reactions which are classed as "redox" even though no electron transfer occurs (such as those involving covalent bonds).

Oxidizing and reducing agents

Substances that have the ability to oxidize other substances are said to be oxidative and are known as oxidizing agents, oxidants or oxidizers. Put in another way, the oxidant removes electrons from the other substance, and is thus reduced itself. Oxidants are usually chemical substances with elements in high oxidation numbers (e.g., H2O2, MnO4-, CrO3, Cr2O72-, OsO4) or highly electronegative substances that can gain one or two extra electrons by oxidizing a substance (O, F, Cl, Br).

Substances that have the ability to reduce other substances are said to be reductive and are known as reducing agents, reductants, or reducers. Put in another way, the reductant transfers electrons to the substance. Reductants in chemistry are very diverse. Metal reduction - electropositive elemental metals can be used (Li, Na, Mg, Fe, Zn, Al). These metals donate or give away electrons readily. Other kinds of reductants are hydride transfer reagents (NaBH4, LiAlH4), these reagents are widely used in organic chemistry[1][2], primarily in the reduction of carbonyl compounds to alcohols. Another useful method is reductions involving hydrogen gas (H2) with a palladium, platinum, or nickel catalyst. These catalytic reductions are primarily used in the reduction of carbon-carbon double or triple bonds.

The chemical way to look at redox processes is that the reductant transfers electrons to the oxidant. Thus, in the reaction, the reductant or reducing agent loses electrons and is oxidized and the oxidant or oxidizing agent gains electrons and is reduced.

Light and heat speed up the movement of molecules and that therefore increases the speed of which electrons are lost by molecules, atoms or ions(oxidation).

Understanding Alkaline Ionized Water

8 12 2006

Understanding Alkaline Ionized Water

By Hidemitsu Hayashi, M.D., Heart Surgeon and Director of the Water Institute of Japan

The bodies of all living organisms are composed largely of water. About 70 to 90 percent of all organic matter is water.

The chemical reactions in all plants and animals that support life take place in a water medium. Water not only provides the medium to make these life sustaining reactions possible, but water Itself is often an important reactant or product of these reactions. In short, the chemistry of life is water chemistry.

Water, the universal solvent

Water is a universal solvent due to the marked molecule and its tendency to form hydrogen bonds with other molecules. One water molecule, expressed with the chemical symbol H20, consists of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.


Water molecule

Standing alone, the hydrogen atom contains one positive proton at its core with one negative electron revolving around it in a three dimensional shell. Oxygen, on the other hand, contains 8 protons in its nucleus with 8 electrons revolving around it. This is often shown in chemical notation as the letter "0" surrounded by eight dots representing 4 sets of paired electrons.


Oxygen atom and its electrons

The single hydrogen electron and the 8 electrons of oxygen are the key to the chemistry of life because this is where hydrogen and oxygen atoms combine to form a water molecule, or split to form ions.


Polar attraction between water molecules

Hydrogen tends to ionize by losing Its electron and form single H+ ions which are simply isolated protons since the hydrogen atom contains no neutrons. A hydrogen bond occurs when the electron of a single hydrogen atom is shared with another electronegative atom such as oxygen that lacks an electron.

How do we get sick anyway?

6 11 2006

Our approach to disease has become very cause and effect. If you work in the sun too long, you are going to get burnt. After you get burnt, you might put on some aloe vera to ease the pain. Maybe the answer is to put on plenty of sun block before you mow the lawn. That makes sense, but the western way of thinking is to get sick and then take some medicine to treat the illness. Why not keep your body at its most healthy level and prevent yourself from getting sick? There are many chronic ailments that are very preventable that plague America. Unfortunately, health care in the USA has become "sick care". "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure", so don't be reactive to disease and illness - be proactive in their prevention.
