Broccoli Sprouts Fight Cancer
The rich, dark colors of blueberries, Brazilian acai berries, raspberries and cranberries come from phytochemicals that protect against numerous types of cancer. Most recently, researchers at the University of Florida found that the active ingredient in acai berries destroyed cancer cells when tested in cell cultures. And blueberries and muscadine grapes contain compounds that recent research shows cause cancer cells in the liver to self-destruct. In studies particularly important to women, cranberries have recently been discovered to be an important weapon in the fight against deadly ovarian cancer. Studies reported at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society found that ovarian cancer cells that were becoming resistant to platinum chemotherapy – the standard of care for ovarian cancer – became six times more sensitive when exposed to a compound in cranberries.
The anti-cancer properties of all these berries are so strong that researchers have developing concentrated supplements and other products such as purees and concentrates.
“The easiest, least-expensive way to reduce your risk for cancer is just by eating a healthy diet,” says Rachael Stolzenberg-Solomon, PhD, MPH, RD, a researcher at the National Cancer Institute.
There are many foods that help fight cancer. Here are the top 5 in my research files:
There are many foods that help fight cancer. Here are the top 5 in my research files:
- Broccoli (and other cruciferous vegetables). Broccoli is a great food and is part of a class of foods called cruciferous vegetables, so that the others in this class are excellent as well, including kale, radish, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, sauerkraut, bok choy and others. A chemical which occurs naturally in cruciferous vegetables boosts the activity of two genes that detect and repair damaged DNA.1 A Finnish study completed in 2002 found the fermentation process that turns cabbage into sauerkraut breaks down the cancer-fighting chemicals in cabbage into simpler substances, which are even easier for the body to use.
- Pau d’arco is a canopy from the Amazon rainforest that has considerable cancer-fighting qualities. “The phytochemical database housed at the U.S. Department of Agriculture has documented lapachol as being antiabscess, anticarcinomic, antiedemic, anti-inflammatory, antimalarial, antiseptic, antitumorous, antiviral, bactericidal, fungicidal, insectifugal, pesticidal, protisticidal, respiratory depressant, schistosomicidal, termiticidal, and viricidal.”3
- Grape seed. “Studies have found that grape seed extracts may prevent the growth of breast, stomach, colon, prostate, and lung cancer cells in the laboratory…Free radicals are believed to contribute to the aging process as well as the development of a number of health problems, including heart disease and cancer. Antioxidants found in grape seeds can neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause.”4
- Green Tea. Green tea’s ability to fight cancer is even more potent and varied than scientists suspected, say researchers who have discovered that chemicals in green tea shut down one of the key molecules that tobacco relies upon to cause cancer. It’s a find that could help explain why people who drink green tea are less likely to develop cancer. The finding by scientists at the University of Rochester’s Environmental Health Science Center appear[ed[ in the July 21 issue of Chemical Research in Toxicology, published by the American Chemical Society.”5
- Curcumin. This is a spice that has been known in India for thousands of years and plays an important role in their Ayurvedic healing system. Experts credit curcumin’s anti-inflammatory effects for its ability to fight cancer. “Most diseases are caused by chronic inflammation that persists over long periods of time,” says Bharat B. Aggarwal, PhD, a biochemist at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. Recent studies have shown curcumin to interfere with cell-signaling pathways, thereby suppressing the transformation, proliferation, and invasion of cancerous cells.6
More Miracles from the Rainforest: Yerba Maté Kills Cancer
Yerba maté, the national drink of South American countries Argentina and Paraguay, has been shown to kill colon cancer cells in a recent University of Illinois study published in the journal Molecular Nutrition & Food Research.According to the study researchers, the natural caffeine sources found in yerba maté induced death of colon cancer cells and reduced inflammation markers. Inflammation is closely linked to the progression of cancer and a number of other health issues including heart disease. Bacterial colonies found inside the colon absorb and metabolize caffeine compounds like those found in yerba mate making their anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer benefits most effective. “Put simply, the cancer cell self-destructs because its DNA has been damaged,” said study researcher Elvira de Mejia, a University of Illinois associate professor of food chemistry and food toxicology who recommends “drinking maté tea for its bioactive benefits, especially if you have reason to be concerned about colon cancer.”
Revered for its energizing properties and healthy boost of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, yerba maté grows under the canopy of the rainforest where it has been a regional dietary staple for centuries. Technically not a tea plant (camellia sinensis), yerba maté (Ilex paraguariensis) is a member of the holly family ritually consumed through a hollowed out gourd.
Yerba maté became a popular beverage in the U.S. in the 1990s due largely in part to efforts by Guayaki—a leading importer of organic and fair-trade maté. The brand has always emphasized the health benefits of the product, and, says Richard Bruehl, Guayaki’s Vice President of North American Operations, “It is very encouraging to once again see the anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory agents in yerba mate getting studied.” As popularity of the multifaceted herb grows and research into its health benefits persist, Bruehl notes that “we will continue to see more positive results associated with the consumption of this amazing South American herb in the near future.”

Po~em Poe~sy
Sounds like awakening vision
Drunk thirsting here~to~fore
Revelation at long last fleeting
From the grasp of a troubadour
A wanton will learns to love itself
To find the subtle signs & still
Trace shadows of reflections lost
A hard dry shell slowly lifted off
A shredded veil is rent to reveal
Novelty sought for quantum fun
Think not so fast redeeming time
For it is no universal constant
No limits even to a closed system
Wasteland until a shift of ages
Accelerating resonance of fields
Fractal generation recurs as close
As it can be touching upon itself
Quintessence reveals open pages
A movement of prisms from pyramids
Energy to matter creates in no conflict
Stalling in deconstructive interference

What is far-infrared?
What is Far Infrared?
The sun is our principal source of infrared heat. As the sun's rays hit the surface of the earth, what we perceive as heat is in fact Far Infrared waves. Infrared heat is essential for all life. When you lie on the beach you are soaking up infrared heat. Unfortunately you are also receiving direct damaging ultra-violet rays. FIR heat provides all the healthy benefits of natural sunlight without any of the dangerous effects of solar radiation.
The invisible and very safe Far Infrared heat produced by an Infrared sauna is able to penetrate well below the skin, which enables the body to sweat at air temperatures of 110 - 140 ° F (much lower than conventional saunas). Far Infrared heat is effective in dilating blood vessels and may increase the rate of detoxification via bodily fluids.

What is bio-ceramic?
Bio-Ceramic is a product which is made from of 26 kinds of ceramic mixed with mineral oxides likes Silica Oxide (SiO2), Aluminum Oxide (AI202) etc. The Ceramics are heated together at 1600 degrees centigrade and left to cool. The mixture of these materials will emit FIR (far-infrared rays).
Far-infrared or Biogenetic rays are in the range between 4 and 16 microns, and benefit the human body. It is part of the sunlight spectrum which is invisible to the naked eye. The normal absorption of resonant frequency for human body is 8 to 15 micron. However, the range of absorbable band of all organic matter on our planet is approximately 6 to 15 micron. The natural resonant frequencies of water and organic substances are within the FIR frequencies. Water and organic substances absorb energy easily from the radiated FIR wave.
Biogenetics rays have been proven by scientists to promote the growth and health of living cells especially in plants, animals and human beings. FIR cause resonance with water molecules and it ionize and activates water molecules in our cells thus improving our blood circulation and health condition.
There are various benefits that Far-infra-red rays have on the human body, like improving the nervous system, and activating water molecules in the body.

What Is Bio-Ceramic?
WHAT IS BIO-CERAMIC?
The ceramic that emits Far Infrared Ray (FIR) is called Bio-Ceramic.
Bio-Ceramic fabric is woven with a special fibre, made with many different kind of ceramics mixed with mineral oxides, like Silica Oxide (SiO2), including nano sized far infrared materials and nano sized photocatalyst materials.
These nano particles serve to emit Far Infrared Rays at temperature near the human body heat. The nano sized far-infrared and photocatalyst functional chemicals are mixed together with the fibre raw materials during the production process of the fibres. They are inherent in the fibre and will not
be washed away. The fibres become more hydraphilic and comfortable
to the skin.
The use of Bio-Ceramic fabric is a non-invasive, non-medical way of health promoting properties from nature. Far Infrared energy is providing some of the most inspiring breakthroughs in the areas of alternative or complementary health care. These high tech process provide a safe, natural way of body care. The special fibre used in the Bio-Ceramic fabrics is so unique in structure, it has transformed how we can use nature’s own resources.

The HPV Vaccine: Preventive Care or Human Sacrifice? - Articles
Reports of adverse reactions to the new HPV vaccine Gardasil are escalating. One particularly heart-wrenching example is the story of 12-year-old Brittany who lost all feeling in her leg and collapsed two weeks after receiving the Gardasil vaccine.Adding insult to injury, people who are injured by the vaccine cannot even sue Merck, the maker of the Gardasil vaccine, because it is part of the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Fund.While the FDA claims adverse reactions to Gardasil are rare, a review of the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) data shows that several thousands of adverse reactions have been reported in the United States alone. And hundreds of Australian girls have experienced side effects like paralysis, dizzy spells and seizures, but Australia's Department of Health and Ageing refuses to release any details.Further, The European Medicines Agency reported that two women died not long after they received the vaccine, one in Austria and one in Germany. The Financial Times also reported that there have been 11 deaths and a wide array of other adverse reactions, including: * Bells Palsy * Guillan-Barre syndrome * Seizures * Blood clotting and heart problems * Miscarriages and fetal abnormalities amongst pregnant women who received the vaccine Sources: * Natural News April 22, 2008The HPV Vaccine: Preventive Care or Human Sacrifice? - Articles
