NATURAL SUPPLEMENT

All the nutrients we need for a healthy existence should come through a carefully designed whole-foods diet.

But achieving this goal can sometimes be impractical for various reasons which may include lack of knowledge, motivation, loss of nutrients in cooking and processing foods, unstable quality of food supply, time to prepare balanced diet, poor farming practices, nutrients depletion caused by stress, lifestyle, and certain medications.

This is where nutritional supplements can be used to narrow or close the gap.

Also, in our highly polluted environment that places increased detoxification burden on our system, research has shown that even a well designed whole-foods diet may not be enough to support full optimal wellness.

This is also another vital reasons to access nutritional supplements.

We now know that nutritional supplements, apart from playing vital role in dealing with a variety of illnesses, can help to maintain optimal physical and psychological health as well as promoting longevity and preventing chronic diseases.

Despite their known benefits, it is important to state that nutritional supplements can also come with certain potential risks that those who intend to be on it for a long time should be aware.

For instance we know that fiber can decrease the absorption of minerals, iron should not be taken with vitamin E or pancreatic enzymes and that vitamin C increases the absorption of iron.

When taking nutritional supplements, be sure to drink adequate amount of water, and if you are taking higher doses, do not take them all at once; divide them in smaller doses.

However, nutritional supplements are not a panacea and should not take the place of proper dietary habits or appropriate medical care when needed.

*Tomato Effect in chronic diseases*

The Western Medical " _thinking_" is that chronic diseases such as
dementias, arthritis, asthma, cancer, COPD, hypertension, cystic Fibrosis, diabetes, obesity, and heart Disease cannot be healed.

That word " _thinking_" implies that this position of Western Medicine on chronic diseases is not validated by objective science.

It is a mere speculation that has been taught and repeated for decades that it has eventually hardened into a culture.

Tomatoes belong to the nightshade family.

During the 18th century, tomatoes were not cultivated or eaten in North America because the leaves and fruits of several plants in this family can cause death if ingested in sufficient quantity.

For them, " _everyone knew_" that nightshades are poisonous and so, it does not make sense to consciously eat poison.

However, by the 16th century, while North America was busy branding tomatoes as poison, it was almost a staple food in Europe.

In 1820, Robert Gibbon Johnson ate a tomato on the steps of the courthouse in Salem, New Jersey and survived.

This singular action made that nation to grudgingly began to consume tomatoes.

Today, as against the lies that were told to North Americans before the 18th century, tomatoes is North America's largest commercial crop.

The " *Tomato Effect"* in medicine occurs when an efficacious treatment for a certain disease is ignored or rejected because it does not make sense in the light of accepted medical "thinking", theories of disease mechanism and drug action.🤷‍♂️

Nathan Pritikin was told that his coronary artery disease was irreversible; he reversed it.
Dirk Benedict was told that his prostate cancer was incurable;. he healed it completely.

It is important you find out if the conclusion on your diagnosis is the position of science or a just a *Tomato Effect* .

👉AJI-NO-MOTO

Few months ago, the Minister of Health "warned" Nigerians that MonoSodium glutamate MSG is a health disaster.

Locally MSG is called AJI-NO-MOTO or white magi.

Unfortunately, AJI-NO-MOTO is one of the most widely used food additives by the food industry.

However, most food producers wouldn’t want you to know that their product contains Ajinomoto, and so, they hide it using different ‘’appealing names’’ as listed below.

👉Autolysed yeast extract

👉Natural flavourings

👉Soy protein

👉Whey protein isolate

👉Calcium caseinate

👉Sodium caseinate

👉Dry milk powder

👉Dry milk protein

👉Gelatine glutamate

👉Glutamic acid

👉Hydrolyzed corn gluten

👉Hydrolyzed soy protein

👉Hydrolyzed wheat protein

👉Hydrolyzed oat flour

👉Hydrolyzed protein

👉Hydrolyzed plant protein

👉Hydrolyzed vegetable protein

👉Natrium glutamate

👉Plant protein extract

👉Textured protein

👉Yeast extract

👉Yeast food

👉Yeast nutrient

Check the label of what you are eating or giving to your children.

Use a magnifying glass if the ingredients label is written in difficult-to-read format (the food industry does this intentionally 😂).

When next you want to boil any tuber or plantain, boil it with the back.

There are medicinal elements in the back that will enter the edible parts.

This small change in your cooking can impact your health profoundly.

Do this if you find that you are not responding to treatment, even when you believe you are on the right track:

*1. Fasting.* Go on a 1 month intermittent fruit fast. I usually do cucumber for breakfast every morning.

*2. Exercise.* You need to review your activity level. Is your body getting enough activity? If your body is under too much physical stress and pressure, then, are you getting enough rest?

It cuts both ways for activity. Too much, and stress will accumulate, shutting down your immune. Too little, and your immune will not function to full capacity.

The key is BALANCE. The lack of balance is DIS-ease.

*Catnip*

*Bot. name* : (Nepeta cataria)
*Family* : Labiatae

*Medicinal actions* : carminative, sedative, astringent, diaphoretic, anti-spasmodic.

An aromatic herb with a pleasant taste, catnip is a perfect remedy for the treatment of diarrhea in children.
In fact, it is an excellent herb for children and babies.

The herb is soothing, and settling to the stomach and can be helpful for colds, chills, congestion, sore throat, and indigestion.
It can be very helpful to headaches related to digestive problems.

Catnip can be used to induce sleep and is very rich in magnesium and manganese.

It is important to note that the fresh leaf tincture is a strong gastrointestinal anti-spasmodic, but the dried leaf loses most of this property.

In the garden, catnip can be used to repel several destructive insect pests.

BAY LEAVES

*Bot. name:* Laurus nobilis
*Family* : Laureceae

Bay leaf is an aromatic, pungent, and slightly bitter herb that is commonly used for culinary purposes.

It is used to treat upper digestive tract disorders; it relieves gas, colic and indigestion.

It is used to ease pains and aches caused by arthritis.

A decoction of bay leaf relieves hysteria, rheumatism, sprains, and bruises.

When used in cooking, it promotes the absorption and digestion of food as well as assisting in the breakdown of heavy food, especially meat.

It is used to regulate delayed, or promote the onset of menstrual period.

To help prevent weevils and miller moths from hatching in stored grains, tuck several bay leaves into the grain.

CANCER CHEMOTHERAPY WHAT YOU MUST KNOW

Before physicians prescribe any medication, they weigh the benefits against the risks and if in their professional judgment, the benefits outweigh the risks, they prescribe the drug.
And we take it without asking many questions.

But there is one exception where the patient MUST know the risks associated with the drug.
And that is in chemotherapy treatment.

Recently I met a lady who is undergoing chemotherapy treatment: *doxorubicin + cyclophosphamide.*

And I asked her if she was properly briefed on the side effects of that combination and she said yes.
So, I demand to know!

She told me that her oncologist told her that her hair will fall off, her nails/skin will change color, and she will experience mild vomiting and mild nausea.
And that was all!😂

Nobody told her about the more serious outcomes like thromboembolism, pulmonary fibrosis, hemorrhagic cystitis, leukopenia, tachycardia, and arrhythmias associated with that combination.

And when these side effects begin to play their "drama", the faces of those that administered the chemotherapy will be littered with "surprises", just to sympathize with the patient.
But they knew!

The side effects of any chemotherapy cocktail are a "book". Before you subject yourself to chemotherapy, you must insist that this "book" is summarized for you in writing so that you can take it home and study.

Never allow anybody to wave away the side effects of chemotherapy drugs as nothing to worry about.

It's advice, and I gave it for free!

The best time to to cut herbs from the tree or the ground is when the sun is out and still visible.

Our grandparents will say do not pluck herbs in the night because they are sleeping. That's another way to see it.

They are living things, and they are in different states during each period of the day.

Scientifically, during photosynthesis the plants are breathing. Releasing what they don't need (oxygen) and taking in what they need.

That is the perfect state to cut them from their source and use them.

They don't breathe at night, and everything that is supposed to be expelled from within them is still there.

They expel it during the day when sunlight is visible.

Thanks for reading.🙏

The Effects Of Drugs On Arthritis

Medicinal Treatment of Arthritis is usually tailored to each patient, depending on his on his condition, with the patient usually becoming dependant on the Arthritis drugs for life.

The most commonly prescribed are Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs are medications which, in addition to having pain relieving (Analgestic) effects, have the effect of reducing inflammation when used over a period of time.

However, they also cause a multitude of adverse side effects, such as digestion problems, internal bleedings, fatigue, confusion and depression and toxicity of liver and kidneys. These adverse side effects are sometimes so severe that they outweigh the benefits.
