My Holistic Medicine Cabinet

[WhiteFeather]

On this thread I would like to share with Avalon some of my Super Herbs that I utilize during the week. Feel free to post yours as well. I would love some audience participation, I'm all ears, and willing to learn ;)

Chlorella (By Sun) - Chlorella is a fresh water, single-celled algae that grows in fresh water. Chlorella emerged over 2 billion years ago, and was the first form of a plant with a well-defined nucleus. Because Chlorella is a microscopic organism, it was not discovered until the late 19th century, deriving its name from the Greek, "chloros" meaning green and "ella" meaning small. In fact that chlorella contains the highest amount of chlorophyll of any known plant.

It is thought to boost the immune system and help fight infection. It has been shown to increase the good bacteria in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which helps to treat ulcers, colitis, diverticulosis and Crohn's disease. It is also used to treat constipation, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Chlorella has been used to treat cancer and also help protect the body from the effects of cancer radiation treatment.

The algae, which is a popular food supplement in Asia and has been used as energy-producing food for centuries, is often used to prevent or curb the spread of cancer, enhance immunity, promote a good balance of bacteria in the gut, and lower blood cholesterol. In Japan, it is traditionally used as a treatment for duodenal ulcers, gastritis, hypertension, diabetes, hypoglycemia, asthma, and constipation. More recently, it is has been touted as an effective therapy for elevated cholesterol levels, a prophylactic to ward of infections and, and adjunct treatment for cancer.

Chlorella is now used as an adjunct supplement during radiation treatment for cancer. Its abundance of chlorophyll is known to protect the body against ultraviolet radiation.

It is a nutrient-dense superfood that contains 60% protein, 18 amino acids (including all the essential amino acids), and various vitamins and minerals. One of its unique properties is a phytonutrient called CGF.

Oil Of Oregano (GaiaHerbs) Oregano is nature's antibiotic. It may be one reason why people who eat a Mediterranean diet tend to live longer and healthier lives. Besides making pizza, pasta and salad taste great, the oil of the wild oregano plant has been shown to kill unwanted bacteria, fungus, yeast, parasites and viruses. It's a powerful antihistamine. New research is finding that oil of oregano is as effective against colitis as prescription drugs without the harmful side effects. It is also able to regenerate liver cells.

Oil of oregano is made from the leaves and flowers of the wild oregano plant found growing naturally in the remote mountainous regions of the Mediterranean where there is little pollution. It is a member of the mint family. The flowers and leaves are harvested when the oil content of the plant is at its highest. It has a history that stretches back to the ancient Greeks, whose name for it translates into "joy of the mountain". They used it to treating infection related illnesses and diseases. As the dangers of antibiotic use become more apparent, health conscious people as well as holistic healers are looking for natural alternatives to treat infections. They are finding oil of oregano to be the perfect natural choice.

ParaShield (GaiaHerbs) Great for killing parasites. Parasites are known to cause cancer as they spread and find a place to thrive in the body. These parasites can attach to the liver, the colon, the pancreas etc. Thereby causing disease and in turn cancer. By Dr Hulda Clark. The human species is now heavily infested with parasites, particularly the intestinal fluke Fasciolopsis buskii, the sheep liver fluke Fasciola hepatica, the pancreatic fluke of cattle Eurytrema pancreatica, the human liver fluke Clonorchis sinensis and the common roundworm, Ascaris. The increase in fluke parasitism is due to the establishment of a new “biological reservoir” in cattle, fowl and household pets. The increase in Ascaris parasitism is probably due to harboring of household pets. The Main Ingredients That Dr Hulda Clark recommends in destroying many parasites are contained in Para Shield.

Spirulina - (GaiaHerbs) Spirulina is a simple one-celled microscopic blue-green algae with the scientific name Arthrospira platensis. Under a microscope, spirulina appears as long, thin, blue-green spiral threads. The odor and taste of spirulina is similar to seaweed.

Spirulina can be found in many freshwater environments, including ponds, lakes, and rivers. It thrives best under pesticide-free conditions with plenty of sunlight and moderate temperature levels, but it is also highly adaptable, surviving even in extreme conditions. More than 25,000 species of algae live everywhere - in water, in soils, on rocks, on plants. They range in size from a single cell to giant kelp over 150 feet long. Macroalgae are large like seaweeds. Microalgae are microscopic. Ocean microalgae, called phytoplankton, are the base of the ocean food web. Spirulina is often deemed the most nutritionally complete of all food supplements, containing a rich supply of many important nutrients, including protein, complex carbohydrates, iron, and vitamins A, K, and B complex. It also has a high supply of carotenoids such as beta carotene and yellow xanthophylls which have antioxidant properties. It is also rich in chlorophyll, fatty and nucleic acids, and lipids. Thus, spirulina has countless uses as a supplement for maintaining good health and for preventing diseases.

Spirulina is the richest beta carotene food, with a full spectrum of ten mixed carotenoids. About half are orange carotenes: alpha, beta and gamma and half are yellow xanthophylls. They work synergistically at different sites in our body to enhance antioxidant protection. Twenty years of research proves eating beta carotene rich fruits and vegetables gives us real anti-cancer protection. Synthetic beta carotene has not always shown these benefits. Research in Israel showed natural beta carotene from algae was far more effective. Natural is better assimilated and contains the key 9-cis isomer, lacking in synthetic. As suspected, natural carotenoids in algae and vegetables have the most antioxidant and anti-cancer power.

Spirulina is an ideal anti-aging food; concentrated nutrient value, easily digested and loaded with antioxidants. Beta carotene is good for healthy eyes and vision. Spirulina beta carotene is ten times more concentrated than carrots.

Iron is essential to build a strong system, yet is the most common mineral deficiency. Spirulina is rich in iron, magnesium and trace minerals, and is easier to absorb than iron supplements.

Spirulina is the highest source of B-12, essential for healthy nerves and tissue, especially for vegetarians.

Healthy Dieting with Spirulina

About 60% of spirulina’s dry weight is protein, which is essential for growth and cell regeneration. It is a good replacement for fatty and cholesterol-rich meat and dairy products in one’s diet. Every 10 grams of spirulina can supply up to 70% of the minimum daily requirements for iron, and about three to four times of minimum daily requirements for vitamins A (in the form of beta carotene), B complex, D,and K. By itself, it does not contain vitamin C, but it helps maintain this vitamin’s potency.

Spirulina is rich in gamma-linolenic acid or GLA, a compound found in breast milk that helps develop healthier babies. Moreover, with its high digestibility, spirulina has been proven to fight malnutrition in impoverished communities by helping the body absorb nutrients when it has lost its ability to absorb normal forms of food.

Another health benefit of spirulina is that it stimulates beneficial flora like lactobacillus and bifidobacteria in your digestive tract to promote healthy digestion and proper bowel function. It acts as a natural cleanser by eliminating mercury and other deadly toxins commonly ingested by the body.

Spirulina also increases stamina and immunity levels in athletes, and its high protein content helps build muscle mass. At the same time, it can curb hunger that may develop during the most demanding training routines. Thus, it indirectly acts as an effective way to maintain an athlete’s ideal body weight.



Raw Garlic - I also take a brand name such as Kyolic Garlic Pills as well. Garlic is awesome for the blood. Raw Garlic is best and Magical to say the least. Garlic (Allium sativum) is one of the earth's greatest health tonics and does indeed have scientifically-proven medicinal properties. It contains a substance called Allicin, which has anti-bacterial properties that are equivalent to a weak penicillin. It is a natural antibiotic and is useful in treating everything from allergies to tonsillitis. Garlic contains many sulfur compounds which detoxify the body, boost the immune system, lower blood pressure and improve circulation. Garlic has also demonstrated anti-cancer, antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-oxidant effects.

The smooth muscle relaxant Adenosine is found in Garlic and this seems to help lower blood pressure. Garlic is also used to help prevent atherosclerosis (plaque build up in the arteries causing blockage and possibly leading to heart attack or stroke), reduce colds, coughs and bronchitis.

Garlic can stimulate the production of glutathione, an amino acid which is known to be a very potent antioxidant and de-toxifier. See also our article on NAC for more gluathione info. Antioxidants help scavenge free radicals.

Free radicals are particles that can damage cell membranes, interact with genetic material and possibly contribute to the aging process as well as the development of a number of conditions including heart disease and cancer. Free radicals occur naturally in the body but environmental toxins (including ultraviolet light, radiation, cigarette smoking and air pollution) can also increase the number of these damaging particles. Antioxidants can neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause over time.

Atherosclerosis: Studies suggest that fresh garlic and garlic supplements may prevent blood clots and destroy plaque. Blood clots and plaque block blood flow and contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. Blockage of blood flow to the heart, brain and legs, can lead to heart attack, stroke, or peripheral vascular disease (PVD). People with PVD experience pain in the legs when they walk and move. If garlic does reduce the build up of plaque then strokes, heart attacks and PVD may be less likely to occur in people who eat garlic or take garlic supplements.

High Cholesterol and High Blood Pressure: A number of studies have found that garlic reduces elevated total cholesterol levels and lowers blood pressure more effectively than placebo. However, the extent to which garlic is effective is small.



Turmeric - I eat one piece of raw organic turmeric per week. Indians have known the health benefits of turmeric for thousands of years. More recent studies have proven that the people of India were right in their use of turmeric for medicinal purposes. Grown in South Asia, this herb in the Ginger family (Zingiberaceae) was first known as Indian Saffron. The root system of bulbous rhizomes boiled and dried produces a product that is then ground into a powder. Turmeric has a peppery and somewhat bitter flavor, is deep yellowish orange in color, and is used to make curry.

The active ingredient in turmeric, curcumin, has anti-inflammatory and disinfecting properties. This explains its healing powers when applied to cuts and abrasions. Taken orally as an anti-inflammatory, turmeric does not have the side-effects commonly associated with some modern pharmaceutical medicines. These include intestinal bleeding, ulcers, and the decrease of white blood cells. This makes turmeric a safe alternative to some non-prescription drugs.

Studies on mice and test grous of people have shown numerous benefits of using turmeric. Scientific claims prove the benefits of the herb aud in the relief of digestive complications and inflammatory benefits. Studies on mice have proven successful on slowing progression and preventing various forms of cancer.

Turmeric's detoxification qualities promote healthy digestion and may aid in weight management. Studies have shown that it helps clear LDL (bad cholesterol) from the liver and enhances liver function. Because of its detoxification and anti-inflammatory qualities, turmeric is used as a dietary supplement for relief from irritable bowel syndrome and stomach disorders. Benefits of turmeric consumption include the reduction of gas and bloating.

Turmeric also reduces the buildup of plaque associated with cardiovascular disease. Curcumin in turmeric lowers two inflammatory enzymes, LOX and COX-2. This helps stop platelets from gathering to form blood clots. Turmeric reduces blood sugar levels, a property valuable for helping those suffering from diabetes.

Using turmeric may have effects on slowing or preventing many forms of cancer. It slows the spread of cancer cells through elimination. Studies have produced evidence that turmeric can aid in preventing breast cancer from spreading to the lungs. It may help prevent colon cancer, and possibly aid in the prevention of pancreatic cancer.

Other foods combined with turmeric boost its healing capabilities. When combined with cauliflower, turmeric may help prevent prostate cancer. Onions may enhance the effects of turmeric on preventing colon cancer. Turmeric also helps prevent melanoma and stops the growth of new blood vessels developing in tumors. It is also thought to reduce the risk of childhood leukemia.

Kombucha made from a SCOBY. Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast (GT Brand) Sold in the fridge section of your local health food store. http://synergydrinks.com/index.php Or you could make your own SCOBY. The Ancient Chinese called this the “Immortal Health Elixir. There are many videos on YouTube to make a SCOBY. Kombucha was recommended to me from Dolores Cannon's Website awhile back. I have been drinking this Elixir for over 3 years now. Comes in many flavors as well. You could drink this on a daily basis, very healthy and loaded with probiotics and cultures. Starters contain beneficial bacteria and yeast (probiotics) that are able to survive harsh stomach acids to reach the walls of your intestines and recolonize it more effectively.
Probiotics that are natural to the human GI tract help re-colonize the “good guys” that boost your immunity and your energy. Probiotics that are compatible with each other create the greatest synergistic health benefits.

FlaxSeed Oil - I use the liquid form on my salads and anytime i cook with oil. great for high blood pressure, Omega 3's and is known to Lower Cholesterol.

Cinnamon Yup Cinnamon, awesome herb. Great in the coffee filter when you make a pot of coffee.

Red Onions or Onions/Raw

Water - I drink Fiji Water nothing else, Fiji has a high PH value in it, very alkaline.

Assorted Nuts, Almonds etc.

These are just a few of my Favorites. Please contribute if you will. Im all ears and willing to learn more from our Avalon Family Members...... ;)

[yukondiva]

Wow, this is so awesome. I am working towards a medicinal herb farm here in Costarica, a dream I have had for many years, however I know so little about herbs themselves. I am very interested in Flora Blanca but have not found any information as to what it is. I beleive it is a tree.
I did know about the oregeno and always keep a bottle of young living oils with me wherever I go. I get some strange looks when I slather it on, however I find it too strong to drink, guese i'll have to eat more. How do they know when they are producing the most oil I wonder? I would love to make my own oils and am looking into how to do that now. I recently planted cocoa or coco so I can make my own chocolate.

I look forward to exchanging ideas and learning new things. Thanks for the thread.

Health benefits of ginger root

Ginger has been in use since ancient times for its anti-inflammatory, carminative, anti-flatulent, and anti-microbial properties. Total antioxidant strength measured in terms of oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) of ginger root is 14840 µmol TE/100 g.The root contains health benefiting essential oils such as gingerol, zingerone, shogaol, farnesene, and small amounts of β-phelladrene, cineol, and citral. Gingerols help improve the intestinal motility and have been anti-inflammatory, painkiller (analgesic), nerve soothing, anti-pyretic as well as anti-bacterial properties. Studies have shown that it may reduce nausea induced by motion sickness or pregnancy and may help relieve migraine headache.Zingerone, a chemical compound which gives pungent character to the ginger root, is effective against E.coli induced diarrhea, especially in children.This herb root only has 80 calories per 100 g and contains no cholesterol. Nonetheless, it composes many essential nutrients and vitamins such as pyridoxine (vitamin B-6), pantothenic acid (vitamin B-5) that are required for optimum health.Furthermore, the herb also contains a good amount of minerals like potassium, manganese, copper, and magnesium. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure.

Good Read Here on Ginger:

Ginger root (Zingiber officinale) is well known as a remedy for travel sickness, nausea and indigestion and is used for wind, colic, irritable bowel, loss of appetite, chills, cold, flu, poor circulation, menstrual cramps, dyspepsia (bloating, heartburn, flatulence), indigestion and gastrointestinal problems such as gas and stomach cramps. Ginger is a powerful anti-inflammatory herb and there has been much recent interest in its use for joint problems. It has also been indicated for arthritis, fevers, headaches, toothaches, coughs, bronchitis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, to ease tendonitis, lower cholesterol and blood-pressure and aid in preventing internal blood clots.

Ginger has been well researched and many of its traditional uses confirmed. It is well known as a remedy for travel sickness, nausea and indigestion. It is a warming remedy, ideal for boosting the circulation, lowering high blood pressure and keeping the blood thin in higher doses. Ginger is anti-viral and makes a warming cold and flu remedy. Ginger is a powerful anti-inflammatory herb and there has been much recent interest in its use for joint problems.

Ginger root is a medicinal herb used primarily for the treatment of Dyspepsia (discomfort after eating), this includes the symptoms of bloating, heartburn, flatulence, and nausea. It is also considered helpful as a preventative for motion sickness and as a digestive. Due to it's antispasmodic characteristic some people have used it to help ease menstrual cramps. In some traditional systems it is credited with the ability to treat arthritis, fevers, headaches, and toothaches.

Ginger may also be taken orally as a herbal remedy to prevent or relieve nausea resulting from chemotherapy, motion sickness, pregnancy, and surgery.

Results of laboratory studies as well as from small studies conducted among seasick sailors or ship passengers, found that ginger generally has more effectiveness for relieving motion sickness than placebo (or sugar pills). Several comparisons between ginger and prescription or non-prescription drugs have been conducted for relieving the nausea of pregnancy, but results are inconclusive.

In some of the studies, similar effectiveness was seen between ginger and the comparator drug, while other studies found less or no effectiveness for ginger as compared to the drugs. In general, no adverse effects were noted from using ginger, for either the mother or the developing baby. Ginger has also been used in folk medicine to treat minor gastrointestinal problems such as gas or stomach cramps. Recent studies may confirm that ginger directly affects the gastrointestinal tract, helping to improve muscle tone and to prevent abnormally rapid and strong intestinal contractions.

Results of limited studies in animals with diabetes show that ginger may reduce blood levels of sugar and cholesterol, while also lowering blood pressure. However, no human studies with similar results have been reported. A few small studies that have been conducted in humans have shown some promise for supplemental ginger in the treatment of both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

If a person has exercised too much or suffers from arthritis or rheumatism, ginger has been known to ease inflammation of the joints and muscle tissue. Due to its tremendous circulation-increasing qualities, ginger is thought to improve the complexion. It has reduced nervousness, eased tendonitis, and helped sore throats return to normal. Studies demonstrate that ginger can lower cholesterol levels by reducing cholesterol absorption in the blood and liver. It may also aid in preventing internal blood clots.

_**New Research! **- Ginger root was recently the subject of a startling new research report presented at The American Association for Cancer research conference in Phoenix. In the study, ginger actually suppressed cancer cells suggesting that the herb was able to fuel apoptosis or the death of the cancer cells. Ginger has been shown to work against skin, ovarian, colon and breast cancer. But it had not been shown to halt the progression of cancer until now. However, more research is required to confirm this._

This stimulating herb is warming to the system. In her book '10 Essential Herbs' author Lalitha Thomas describes the properties: "The major active ingredients in ginger are terpenes (quite similar to the chemical action of turpentine) and an oleo-resin called ginger oil. These two, and other active ingredients in ginger, provide antiseptic, lymph-cleansing, circulation-stimulating, and mild constipation relief qualities along with a potent perspiration-inducing action that is quite effective in cleansing the system of toxins."

Nice thread, Whitefeather.

Yukondiva, making essential oils is a complicated process. It's usually best to buy them. But you can make a watery version yourself, by piling chopped up herb in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil, with a well-fitting lid on the pot. The steam that collects on the lid will contain droplets of the volatile essential oil. Collect it into a measuring cup and pour into a small bottle. It takes a lot of herb to make a few drops of oil.

When you harvest herbs, the best time is on a sunny, warm/hot day, around 9-10 AM when the oils are concentrated in the leaves. This is after the sun has dried up any dew, but before the oils disperse throughout the plant as they do during the day. Remember to harvest no more than 1/4 to 1/3 of the plant.

Are you wanting to dry the herbs for tea, or using them fresh to make tincture?

Kefir explained and it’s benefits from from kefir.net


What is Kefir? (http://www.kefir.net/what-is-kefir/)

“Kefir’s tart and refreshing flavor is similar to a drinking-style yogurt, but it contains beneficial yeast as well as friendly ‘probiotic’ bacteria found in yogurt. The naturally occurring bacteria and yeast in kefir combine symbiotically to give superior health benefits when consumed regularly. It is loaded with valuable vitamins and minerals and contains easily digestible complete proteins.

For the lactose intolerant, kefir’s abundance of beneficial yeast and bacteria provide lactase, an enzyme which consumes most of the lactose left after the culturing process.”


What are the benefits of Kefir? (http://www.kefir.net/kefir-benefits/)

“Easily digested, it cleanses the intestines, provides beneficial bacteria and yeast, vitamins and minerals, and complete proteins. Because kefir is such a balanced and nourishing food, it contributes to a healthy immune system and has been used to help patients suffering from AIDS, chronic fatigue syndrome, herpes, and cancer. Its tranquilizing effect on the nervous system has benefited many who suffer from sleep disorders, depression, and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).

The regular use of kefir can help relieve all intestinal disorders, promote bowel movement, reduce flatulence and create a healthier digestive system. In addition, its cleansing effect on the whole body helps to establish a balanced inner ecosystem for optimum health and longevity.

Kefir can also help eliminate unhealthy food cravings by making the body more nourished and balanced. Its excellent nutritional content offers healing and health-maintenance benefits to people in every type of condition.”

What are Lacto-Fermented Vegetables?

“...Lacto-fermentation is a natural process to preserve foods and stops the growth of bacteria that causes foods to go bad. Unlike modern preservation methods which kills all the good stuff in food, lacto-fermentation make nutrients more absorbable and provides the intestines with friendly bacteria. The heating process of commercial fermented foods destroys the enzymes and friendly bacteria. The process of lacto-fermentation turns sugars and starches into helpful acids, mainly lactic acid. Lactic acid breaks down the proteins and helps the body absorb them. It also aids in the absorption of iron. Lactic acid does not cause the body to become over acidic. Lacto-fermented foods help to normalize the acidity of our stomach.

Foods that have been lacto-fermented contain many vitamins, friendly bacteria and enzymes that our bodies need. They contain B vitamins, omega 3 fatty acids, digestive enzymes, lactase, lactic acid and probiotics. Traditionally foods that have been lacto-fermented include sauerkraut, sour dough bread, tamari, chutney, yogurt, kefir, and kimchi. It supports our immune systems, reduces cholesterol, acts as and anti-biotic and anti-carcinogen.

Lacto-fermented foods promote the growth of friendly intestinal bacteria and aids in digestion. It strengthens the digestive system and increases the vitamin levels in our bodies because we are able to absorb them more readily. Lacto-fermentation neutralizes phytic acid, an unhealthy chemicals in grains and beans. Phytic acid blocks the absorption of calcium, iron, phosphorus and zinc, which leads to mineral deficiencies and bone loss. It also acts as an enzyme inhibitor. Lacto-fermentation neutralizes the phytic acid and helps break down gluten and sugar. Lacto-fermentation of dairy makes it more digestible and adds lactase to the dairy products. Soybeans are extremely high in phytic acid and must always be eaten fermented, preferably naturally by lacto-fermentation....”

What is MMS?

"MMS is a unique chemical oxidizer that has the ability to enter the body, kill pathogens that are causing diseases, and touch absolutely nothing else... MMS also destroys heavy metal compounds in the body, and many different poisons. MMS, in the strength used to kill pathogens, can move through the stomach, through the blood, and through various other organs, and cause no reaction or damage of any kind. 

The only thing that MMS can do in the body is kill disease. It is used by the immune system which, of course, kills pathogens, and causes the death of viruses by preventing them from forming certain proteins."

Jim V. Humble & MMS - explanation - http://www.miraclemineral.org

MMS info and video (http://www.h2oairwateramericas.com/Departments/Water-Purification/MMS-Miracle-Mineral-Solution.aspx?gclid=CKC47rOJ1rMCFSXZQgodah8Avg)

Some Common Situations: asthma, burns, heart problems, diabetes, epilepsy, cancer, diarrhea, ear ache, eye infections, flu, high blood pressure, HIV and AIDS, incurable disease, staph infection...

From: "The Master Mineral Solution of the Third Millenium (The Updated "The Miracle Mineral Supplement of the 21st Century (2011)," by Jim V. Humble

MMS Benefits Summary:
 


Following is what I have observed over the past 11 years. Some of it is my opinion; however, I have discussed all of this information with medical doctors and they have agreed with me. But then, that is their opinion as well. So this is what appears to be happening in the body when activated MMS is ingested.

Organisms Destroyed:

MMS destroys microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, fungus, molds, yeast, and parasites that causes various diseases. Viruses are killed by a different mechanism than bacteria and all the other microorganisms: MMS prevents the formation of special proteins necessary for viral growth, thus causing the destruction of the virus. The killing of disease-causing organisms generally takes between 4 hours and 4 weeks, but often less than one week. This is true for all forms of infection and other microorganisms, as well as blood diseases such as leukemia.

Heavy Metals Oxidized:

MMS oxidizes the heavy metals in the body. I believe this because there have been a number of tests where the roots of a person’s hair were checked before and after taking MMS. About two weeks afterwards, the heavy metals were gone, including mercury, lead, and others. Testing the roots of hair is a good indication of the absence or presence of heavy metals. Oxidation of the heavy metals is not the same as chelating but the results are the same. When a heavy metal is oxidized, it is neutralized and washes out of the body.

Foreign Matter Neutralized:

MMS is carried throughout the body, where it neutralizes foreign matter that is generally poisonous. When oxidized, poisons are neutralized and are washed out of the body. Almost all poisonous material is easily oxidized. These poisons are attached at various locations and hinder the body’s functions. As they are oxidized, they are detached and washed out of the body same as the heavy metals.
 

Poisons Neutralized:

Most forms of poisons from snakes and other venomous animals are oxidized when adequate amounts of MMS are taken. Most food poisons found in restaurants or in your refrigerator are also oxidized. When snake poisons or food poisoning is involved, you should take an MMS dose every 15 minutes.

[WhiteFeather]

Thanks for Chiming in with that info Red Riding Hood, as well as the others. Some Good Stuff. Keep it flowing. Paula your MMS made the top of the list in this interesting video. Have a peak.

Fantastic Turmeric Is....Good Video. Asquali

[onawah]

I just made my first batch of fermented vegies a couple of weeks ago, and will be making my second later this week.
I chopped cabbage, beet, Vidalia onion and garlic in my food processor fairly fine, and filled 2 quart jars about halfway, then filled them about 3/4 full with fresh celery juice instead of salt brine. (There's lots of sodium in celery, so celery is a good substitute, if you don't like the salty taste of brine.)
I left the jars to ferment for 4 days, but next time I will be braver and leave them for a week.
They definitely did bubble and it is necessary to leave the lids loose and have a saucer or something under the jars to catch the overflow.

I made my second batch of coconut kefir last week. The first time, I used mature coconuts (with the brown husks) but it was a lot of work getting the meat separated from the husks. So the second time, I special ordered some young green coconuts from my local grocer. They are about $3 each. They are much easier to husk, and made a much creamier kefir (the first batch was gritty). I need to cut down on cholesterol, so I'm going to make a cultured frozen coconut desert next time I make kefir, to take the place of dairy deserts.

There's lots more info about fermented and cultured foods in the excellent thread that Dawn started at:

[ruisatriani]

There is a 2 hour interview with Jim Humble at Camelot speaking about MMS, if my memory recalls it well!

[Kraut]

Was thinking about starting a similar thread last night.

Rockrose: supposedly helps prevent or fight infections, including influenza. It helps, I can say from experience and others have told me the same. Rockrose is a polyphenol rich plant I drink two cups of tea every day.

Curcumin: Early research suggest turmeric can keep several kinds of cancers from growing or spreading

Strong antioxidant effect that can reduce risk of cancer but also protect the brain, liver (detoxification effect), and other key organs from damage by toxic substances such as drugs, radiation, excessive alcohol, heavy metals etc.

Anti-inflammatory effect (useful to treat or prevent diseases such as arthritis, IBS etc.)

Can help your digestive system due to its strong by reducing inflammation (has been shown to help reduce and heal stomach ulcers)

Can help protect your cardiovascular system by preventing the oxidation of cholesterol which can lead to blood vessel damage. Turmeric can also help reduce your "bad" cholesterol level

Some research also suggest turmeric may help protect against Alzheimer's (neurodegenerative) disease. Alzheimer rate is very low for example in countries such as India.

Lapacho tea: Due to its antimicrobial properties, lapacho tea is used in alternative medicine to treat a variety of infectious disorders including Candida yeast infections, infectious diarrhea, bladder infections, herpes simplex virus, parasitic infections such as schistomiasis and ringworm; gonorrhea, syphilis and brucellosis. In addition, people drink lapacho tea to help treat viral respiratory infections including the common cold, flu and swine flu.

Jiaogulan Tea: supposedly good for lots of things and adaptogenic. Happens to taste good too.

Something that helps with anxiety is Passiflora and L-Theanine.

Hi Onawah,

I rinse the brine off the vegetables so they aren’t salty. It depends on personal taste, so even a little salty taste is too much. Nice to have another option. Thanks for Dawn’s link. I forgot about it. Lots of great information there.

Questions About Milk Kefir Grains
(http://www.culturesforhealth.com/milk-kefir-grains.html#questions)
Question: I rehydrated my kefir grains in cow milk and they came out great. I then switch to unsweetened organic coconut milk for two days and the grains no longer seem to be active, even after switching back to cow milk. Do you know why this could be? If the milk is unaffected after 24-36 hours are the grains no longer active? Thanks.

Answer: Kefir grains can take a few days to adjust to a new milk medium. For example, if you switch your kefir grains from cow to goat milk, it can take a few batches for them to adjust to the composition of the new milk and start working properly. Same thing happens if you go from pasteurize cow milk to raw cow milk and sometimes even different brands of milk (feed, etc. can vary from farm to farm). Different chemical compositions can mean an adjustment period of up to a few batches. So go ahead and put them back in coconut milk and give them a batch or two to adjust (maybe just the coconut milk that isn't kefiring in the meantime to cook or in a smoothie or something). They should perk up and start doing their thing in a few days. With coconut milk though you'll need to put them back in cow milk for 24 hours to revitalize for every few weeks they spend in cow milk.

Question: When using milk kefir grains with coconut milk, can it be unsweetened coconut milk that does not contain any sugar?

Answer: Ideally you'd want to use unsweetened coconut milk. Any additives have the potential to interact negatively with the kefir grains and potentially damage them. Unsweetened would be safest.

Pressed Salads

From eHow (http://www.ehow.com/info_8186983_pressed-salads.html):

Pressed salads are made by compacting traditional salad ingredients like vegetables and fruits. Compacting is done by placing a heavy object on top of the prepared and dressed ingredients and letting them sit so the flavors mingle. The pressure can be inflicted by jars or bowls filled with water, clean large cans of commercially packaged foods or with a pickle or salad press, a specialized tool that utilizes a spring mechanism to exert pressure.

This is the machine mentioned above that I use:


http://avalonlibrary.net/paula/Recovered/pickle-press_zps4676c25e.JPG

Pressed Salad Benefits

Many of the hard fibers in raw vegetables and fruits are difficult to digest and partial digestion prevents some of the nutrients in them from being absorbed by the body. Pressing the vegetables breaks down these fibers while causing a slight fermentation, which is believed to aid in digestion and possibly strengthen the body's natural immunities to sickness and disease.

Preparing the Food

Thoroughly wash the vegetables and fruits and cut them into thin slices or matchstick size pieces. It is important for the pieces to be small so they exude natural juices during the process. Dry the vegetables in a salad spinner or with thick sheets of paper or cotton towels and place them into the bowl in which they will be pressed.

Here are two pressed salad methods from "Aveline Kushi's Introducing Macrobiotic Cooking," by Wendy Esko and Aveline Kushi, 1987.

Pressed Salad Method #1

Place daikon and carrots in a pickle press. Add the sea salt and vinegar. Mix thoroughly. Place the top on the press and tightly screw down. Let sit 1 hour. Remove and squeeze out excess liquid or, if too salty, rinse quickly under cold water. Place in a bowl and garnish with the roasted black sesame seeds.

Ingredients: 1 c daikon, sliced in paper thin rounds and then thin matchsticks, 1/2 c carrots, sliced in paper thing rounds and then thin matchsticks, 1/4 tsp of sea salt, 1-2 T brown rice vinegar, 1 t roasted black sesame seeds

Pressed Salad Method #2

Place all vegetables in a pickle press. Add the water and umeboshi vinegar and mix well. Place the top on the press and screw down tightly. Let sit for 1 hour. Remove, squeeze out excess liquid, place in a bowl and serve. As a variation, use Chinese or regular cabbage, thinly sliced; grated carrot; white onion; or any other vegetable.

Ingredients: 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, thinly sliced, 1 cucumber, washed and thinly sliced, 4-5 radishes, sliced in thin rounds, 1 stalk celery, sliced in thin diagonal, 1/2 c red onions, slice in paper thin rounds or half-rounds, 1 c water, 1/4 umeboshi vinegar

I Have nothing to sell - I just love and trust this company, and want to share what I feel are the best products out there for health and well-being.

[vje2]

I love the fact that some of us are taking our health back into our own hands.

My health cabinet does not contain many herbs however I always work with the following when I feel unwell or want to improve my well being:

1. MMS, (Jim Humble discoverer) known to kill all viruses and a bloody knigtmare for big pharma and FDA as they don't know how to stop its production. ;)
2. Garlic, I eat it raw (mainly in salads and soothies), I also massage it onto my skin with some organic oil.
3. Lemongrass oil, very effective as a mosquito repellent - massage it onto skin with some oil, re-apply when needed.
4. Lemongrass herb, excellent for bringing down fever (when drank as tea).
5. Bentonite clay, and a local version called “Calabar chalk” a very potent detoxifier for overall health with loads of minerals. I drink it almost everyday to give me energy and to cure my anaemia. Its effects were not immediate, however I started to see benefits once I started to maintain regularity.
6. Raw cocoa beans, very good with antioxidants. I eat a handful whenever I remember...aparently is very good for detoxifying the pineal gland. I live in West Africa and we have an ample supply of these from the cocoa farmers!
7. Live cultures: water kefir, natural yogurt and Kombucha...I drink the water kefir every 48 hours, Kombucha every 5-7 days (when the brew is ready) and I eat yogurt everyday.
8. Papaya - eaten after a meal helps me and my family with the digestion. We also use it for removing worms from our tummys. We go on a fast for 3 days eating only the seeds which are quite peppery, but sometimes we mixed them with the papaya pulp to make them more palatable...they are hot!
9. Noni tree - i cold press the leaves and have it as juice, mixed with other fruits (mainly lemon and ginger), this is to boost my enery (especially after I have been ill) and also to help me with constipation. I aso have the noni fruit as juice.
10. Banana leaves used in a steamy sauna in combination with papaya leaves, lemongrass herb has been used by women in my tribe for eons. It removes aches and pains and tonifies and invigorates the entire body.
11. Coconut, we love it and eat it raw or we cold press it and then remove the oil (quite easy given that is very hot here) that we use for massage.

I do use other products mainly vegetables and fruits...as someone said (cannot remember if it was roman or greek) "let the food be your medicine"...and was not wrong.

When I relocated here, I did it with the thought in mind that I wanted my life and health back. I have a small land in which I've planted all of my citric trees, noni tree, lemon grass herb, banana etc... And although I know it may not be possible for everybody to have a piece of land, I invite you to give it a try (especially does with not such green fingers, like I was a couple of years ago) and do it in your back yard, any space will do...you can be as creative as you can.

You see, to me, the thought of putting something in my mouth that I have planted and seen grown has a marvellous placebo effect.
Not to mention that indeed it is the way Mother Nature intended to be in the first place.

I hope everything I’ve told you it helps and wish you good luck with your planting.

Cheers

This is by far by favourite thread ever in this forum! So many people who just care for each other. I love you guys, truly i do! Bless you.

What about about goji berry?

I heard that some people in Tibet live on them exclusively. And they live for looooong time.

some web i found say this:
Goji berries: Health benefits and side effects

Have you been wondering about the health benefits of goji berries and goji juice? Some claim that goji berries are the next big thing. But what is the goji berry and can it really prevent chronic illness? And do dried goji berries have side effects? Here are answers to your questions about the benefits of goji berries.
What is the goji berry?

The goji berry is also called the wolfberry. It is a bright orange-red berry that comes from a shrub that's native to China. In Asia, goji berries have been eaten for generations in the hopes of living longer.

Over time, people have used goji berries to treat many common health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, fever, and age-related eye problems. Goji berries are eaten raw, cooked, or dried (like raisins) and are used in herbal teas, juices, wines and medicines.
What are the benefits of goji berries?

Research shows that eating berries -- like blueberries, acai berries, cranberries, strawberries, and cherries – may offer health benefits. Berries like the goji berry are filled with powerful antioxidants and other compounds . The British Dietetic Association says some phytochemicals such as flavonoids, glucosinolate and phyto-oestrogens "act as antioxidants, which may reduce damage to cell DNA and cell membranes. Other phytochemicals are thought to influence the activation of carcinogens (cancer causing agents), or increase the level of protective liver enzymes."

It’s possible but not proven that eating foods high in antioxidants may slow the ageing process. A Japanese study of 1,000 people over 70 found that those who drank the most green tea (containing catechins – a type of flavanoid) showed the least signs of the cognitive decline associated with ageing. It’s believed antioxidants work by minimising damage to your cells from free radicals that injure cells and damage DNA. When a cell's DNA changes, the cell grows abnormally.

Antioxidants may take away the destructive power of free radicals. By doing so, antioxidants help reduce the risk of some serious diseases.

Goji berries also have compounds rich in vitamin A that may have anti-ageing benefits. For instance, one recent Cochrane review published in the journal Dermatologic Therapy argues, "Retinoids are capable not only of repairing photoaged skin at both the clinical and biochemical levels but their use may prevent photoaging." NHS Choices says vitamin A has several important functions from strengthening immunity against infections to helping vision in dim light as well as maintaining cell growth in some areas of the body. Vitamin A has also been studied as a treatment for many other conditions, including some types of cancer, cataracts and HIV. However, the results for these are inconclusive and more research is needed.

Some researchers suggests that goji berry extracts may boost brain health and may protect against age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's. But more studies are needed.

While goji berries are a rich source of antioxidants -- and early research shows a potentially powerful health benefit -- it's still unclear how they stack up against other berries. Researchers also don't know whether goji berry supplements have the same health benefits as the actual berries.
Do goji berries have any dangerous side effects?

There may be some possible herb-drug interactions with goji berries. If you take warfarin (a blood thinner), you may want to avoid goji berries. Goji berries may also interact with diabetes and blood pressure medicines.

Also, if you have pollen allergies, you may want to stay away from this fruit. However, when eaten in moderation, goji berries appear to be safe

Hi Willow26,

Thanks to Onawah’s reminder, I’ve been reading Dawn’s thread, “The gut of most disease... NOT what you think! (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?43548-The-gut-of-most-disease...-NOT-what-you-think-)” Lots of information there, too.

A great big thanks to Marianne, who told me about lacto-fermentation and kefir.
And a great big thanks to White Feather for this valuable and informative thread.

I wasn’t sure if you were talking about the video on kefir or lacto-fermentation. Which is good because it gives me a chance to add a bit more here.

I make both the milk and water kefir. I forgot where I saw it, but the author said not to put cultured products close together while fermenting because they’ll cross pollinate. (I hope I’m saying that right.) Today, I experimented with mixing milk kefir with water kefir that’s flavored with lemon juice and vanilla. They go nice together.

After researching all the benefits from Lacto-Fermentation and making a batch of 4 1/2 gallons of veggies, I sprung for a fermenting crock pot. One thing I had planned to do differently with the glass jars was to mix the veggies all together, rather than layering them. Lot less work.

This is the video from Dawn’s site and a couple of others from YouTube that shows how to use the pot:

Hello dear friends!

Hi Rollo,

On Dawn’s thread, "The root of most disease... NOT what you think! (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?43548-The-gut-of-most-disease...-NOT-what-you-think-&p=466972&viewfull=1#post466972)," I found these posts from Eram and Meat Suit on eczema. I looked up the differences between eczema and psoriasis, but I wouldn’t rule out the same trouble shooting approach. Namely, clean up the inner environment with beneficial yeast and bacteria by drinking kefir.


"...On the bright side of water kefir....
Our daughter (2 years old) suffers from eczema and we never have been able to cure it so far.

Now that she drinks water kefir... the eczema has eased down a lot. To the point even that we can take her to the swimming pool. She used to get a severe eczema attack every time we brought her there, so we stopped that for some time, but now her skin is in such a good condition that she can go again,.... much to her delight :)

For myself... I used to get very painful cleaves in the tips of my fingers during the dry days in the winter and that too has stopped. My fingers are fine now for the first time in about 15 years.

Hey Ho for water kefir and fermented food/juice in general.


"...me and my kids drink goats milk to control eczema, not huge amounts, couple of glasses a day...... and any eczema that gets past that, we kill with colloidal silver applied onto skin...

Another possibility, Dawn also used kefir as a topical lotion. Maybe a foot bath? Food for thought, pun intended. This is part of her post:


“...The bacteria in Kefir are known to kill off h-pylori, thus curing ulcers. These same bacteria are responsible for dental carries and gum disease. So last night we used whey strained from our home made kefir to dip our tooth brushes in, and as a mouth wash. We also put some on a paper towel and 'washed' our bodies in whey from head to toe with the moist towel. We plan to continue this practice, since these bacteria have been shown to out-compete many skin pathogens. This is a new way of thinking for me... to enhance my life by focusing on healthy lifeforms, instead of focusing on killing lifeforms I do not like. Life instead of death...”

UPDATE:

Synchronicity... Last evening I downloaded a .pdf file, but didn't read it until after posting. The link came from Dawn's site. It specifically talks about a cure for psoriasis:

“Amazing Healing Power of Kefir (http://www.orhaolam.com/uploads/KefirInShort.pdf)” - Kefir is a natural antibiotic which exudes bacterial inhibitory factors that prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Various medical reports have shown that Kefir has been helpful in the treatment of psoriasis, eczema, allergies, migraines, gout, rheumatic arthritic conditions, candidiasis and colitis...

Check out Roobios Tea, sometimes called Red Bush. It helps energize the mitocondrial cells so they can produce their own perfectly structured water from within. A great way to hydrate the body in the absence of living water.

[Selene]

Just dropping in on this fabulous thread: So many of these superb herbs and spices are wonderfully enjoyed in traditional curries and Indian, Thai and Schezuan cuisine (among others.) Turmeric, cayenne, ginger, garlic, coriander, vinegars, limes/acids and are all integral to healthy cuisines around the world, for very good reasons. Many traditional European dishes share ancient health wisdom as well.

The important thing is [i]don’t buy a pre-mixed “curry powder”: this is usually ‘dead stuff’. Create your own for each meal from the spices above or as needed. No self-respecting household in India, Sri Lanka, China, Thailand or Indonesia/Malaysia would dream of buying a pre-packaged mix of these critical spices. No. It’s a very simple matter to grind your own fresh every day. This is usually a task given to a younger member/child of the family. And the difference in your health and eating pleasure is everything.

There’s a wealth of good recipes for these cuisines on a zillion websites.

Eat well! Enjoy!

Cheers,

Home of Activator X, as per Dr. Pete Peterson of Project Camelot fame. I took the skate liver oil for a while, but I truly received the benefit of the liver oil when I combined it with the butter oil. Currently I am eating FCLO/HVBO Cinnamon Tingle flavor, good stuff!

If I remember correctly, he may have been saying its bottom feeder fish, very abandon, rat fish maybe? Usually discarded after caught as considered worthless from industry/fishmongers point of view. There is a web selling that and they even refer to Dr Peter Peterson interview, but the stuff isn't cheap. Not hard to find that web though.

Does anybody know if that was rat fish oil for sure? I don't think Dr Peterson says that name but I may be wrong..

Ah, and the crazy chef himself: David Wolfe

He goes far beyond just eating. He is brilliant and soooo entertaining!

interestingly: cocoa + cayenne (both medicinal foods) i'll try this combination today.

Neal Barnard MD discusses the science behind food additions. Willpower is not to blame: chocolate, cheese, meat, and sugar release opiate-like substances. Dr. Barnard also discusses how industry, aided by government, exploits these natural cravings, pushing us to eat more and more unhealthy foods. A plant-based diet is the solution to avoid many of these problems. Neal Barnard is the founder of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM).

Rat fish aka skate..... It was Wilcock, after the interview, who said in his blog that this was the source for the fish oil discussed in the interview. I took the skate first, but the high vitamin butter oil/fermented cod liver oil has been the one I've gone with, as its two products together therefore cheaper in the short term than purchasing two separate products. I have gotten great benefit from consuming these....

Paula,

Does it matter if chocolate is the common one or the raw cocoa bean one?

i was a big fan of dark chocolate for long time but recently wanted to cut the sugar out. So i bought raw cocoa beans. This is quite a powerful stuff. i usually work 13-14h day and after 9 im quite tired. When bite on few raw cocoa beans my eyes open wide and i can keep going. i dont eat it everyday though. But after all im not sure if this good or bad? I think there is some kind of nice feeling afterwards and empowering too. interestingly, dark chocolate (usual stuff from shops) has no effect whatsoever.
i came up with conclusion on this matter: the industry does something to cocoa when cooking chocolate, the good stuff is removed and sugar is added instead... (?)

Cheers,

Hello Hangel,

It seems “Live Super Foods (http://livesuperfoods.com/live-superfoods-raw-cacao-beans.html)” agrees with you that the benefits of cooking chocolate are lessened because of what’s added. But they are ‘rich in nutrients and beneficial to health.’ I wouldn’t have thought to eat them in their natural state. Thanks for the information.

Raw Cacao Beans

Many people consider eating chocolate a “guilty pleasure.” But the reputation of chocolate as a junk food should more accurately be attributed to the harmful effects of commercial processing and refining techniques, and the other ingredients commonly added, most notably white sugar. All chocolate is made from the cacao (cocoa) bean, and cacao beans in their natural, unprocessed, unadulterated state are rich in nutrients and beneficial to health.

The main reason why I like the video was the sugar part. Ben & Jerry’s is the one that calls me. So learning about water and milk kefir is part of my strategy to eat less and less of the ice cream.

Cheers back,
Paula :wave:

Here is am addition I came across recently:
Shungite (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shungite), is a mineral with many uses. I will point out for this discussion the structuring of water
"
Shungite cleans water of various chlorine compounds, nitrates, copper, magnesium, iron, cleans up visually dirty water, eliminates sour taste. Shungite removes heavy metals, chlorine, enriches drinking water in potassium."

"
Shungite for cleaning water - link (http://www.shungite-anata.com/en/products/description/d_water.html)
Application:

Rinse thoroughly shungite stones, but without soap, under running water. Put the shungite stones in a glass or enamel container and pour cold water in the following proportions: 100 g of shungite per 1 liter of water.

As scientists have identified, in 30 minutes the water will be cleared and acqures and expressed antibacterial activity, but the best results the water has after standing with shungite 2 - 3 hours. The water will finally acquire all the medicinal properties in 8 - 10 hours.

Pour the ready water into another container and add new portion of water to a container with shungite. If you see sediment in the water, do not worry, this is harmless and a few minutes the sediment will settle down.

For the therapeutic and preventive purposes it is recommended to drink no more than 250 ml of shungite water per day.

There are no contradictions. It is recommened to rinse shungite stones once a month under running water and put it out in the sun to recharge for healing the properties. Term of use is unlimited"


and

"Use of shungite water is recommended for the treatment of the following illnesses:
- Impotence
- Anemia
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Gastritis
- Dyspepsia
- Kidney diseases
- Liver diseases
- Diabetes
- Gall-bladder problems
- Immune system deterioration
- Pancreas diseases
- Common colds
- Cardiovascular diseases
- Cholecystitis
- Chronic fatigue.

Whitefeather,

I have noticed you have started a couple threads with the term ‘holistic’ in the title . . . . the other thread is ‘holistic eye care assistance’.

In these threads mostly natural herbal remedies are being discussed for the actual physical healing of the ailment and not the concept of true holistic health or ‘whole wellbeing’. If you are living you life ‘holistically’ then you striving for the totally wellbeing and natural health of your Mind, Body and Spirit . . . .the ‘whole being’.

I would also like to humbly suggest that if one is striving to live a true Holistic Sustainable Lifestyle (as I am attempting) then purchasing herbs and other supplements will not enable you to achieve that goal. Also, to be truly Holistic (whole) in your everyday life means the food, herbs and environment are from the immediate area you live. In other words if you do not live near the ocean but are purchasing supplemental food that is from the ocean then if that resource is not available to you then you cannot achieve a holistic lifestyle.

I only use healing plants, food and herbs that grow (or can be grown) in my area and/or I find the sister plant in my area that has the same healing ability as one from a tropical area (for example).

Physical healing is only a small part of true Holistic Health . . . . your Mind Body and Soul are intricately melded together and all should be addressed in true ‘whole health and wellbeing’.

Perhaps a better word to use in your thread titles would be ‘natural or herbal’ is only physical healing is to be discussed.

Just a thought . . . . .

Excellent product. I have also taken this skatefish oil as well in aid to the Pineal gland. I read something good for the pineal gland as well called Black Shilajit. Shilajit is obtained from rocks in the Himalayan region. It is a form of mineral that drips from the cracks of the rocks during hot weather. it is decomposition of the plant matter in the rocks centuries before. The biotransformed plant matter is extruded from the rocks by geothermal pressures. it is collected in raw form for further purification. Walking high in the Himalayan mountains, a thick rich paste oozing out from the rocks in the towering cliffs is Shilajit. It increases the core energy responsible for sexual and spiritual power, the same force that is withered by stress and anxiety. You could purchase this anywhere on the internet. I myself have not tried it yet. Giving it a thought.

[Menkaure]

What about Black Seed Oil? Have heard many good things about it on various sites. Comments?

[hangel]

there is something i found particularly useful recently. Black tourmaline. Its a crystal. A very unusual one.

i have been ill for long time and i did many things like detox, liver and colon cleanse, supplements, change of diet, yoga (a lot of different versions) even went for Thai yoga massage (which is very good but you have to learn to detach yourself from pain). Other stuff i tried: acupuncture (fricking painful and ineffective in my case, maybe to do with practitioner).. but all that happened was my health was declining.

Then i started reading.... some on Avalon too. i thought that i may have something attached to my aura. That came from meditation. then i came across this article:


Psychic Attacks and Protecting Yourself
By Mary Kurus

Psychic Attacks and Dark Negative Energies

Psychic attacks are defined as the manipulation of supernatural energies and forces. Psychic attacks occur when dark and negative energetic vibrations are sent from one individual to another individual or place creating disturbances in the energetic and physical bodies of the person or place. This negative energy can be called a spirit, an entity, a thought form or a dark negative energy. Each of these energies can create harmful effects within the person receiving them.

Not everything that's considered difficult in a persons life is the result of a psychic attack, but psychic attacks do happen and they happen more often today than ever before. You will hear some people say that negative energies and psychic attacks don't exist and cannot happen if you don't believe in them or give them energy by paying attention to them. This is not true. Problems can and do happen as a result of negative energies and psychic attacks. Recently mothers have contacted me about their teenagers who are practicing bits of black magic wanting to know how to help their children. There are disadvantages as well as advantages to Harry Potter.

Mother Earth and all of us who live on her are surrounded by many mysterious, supernatural and beautiful energies, including intelligent energies, angels and guides. We are affected by the energies of all the planets including the Sun, the Moon, other planets, asteroids and stars. At the same time we are also exposed to many negative energies, entities, spirits and intelligent energies which can affect us in so many different ways.
Ancient Societies and Psychic Attacks

Societies from ancient times to the present have worked with psychic attacks and dark negative energies. The African and Haitian people practice voodoo and black magic. North American and European cultures practice black magic and witchcraft. Indian, Chinese and South American tribes have similar practices. Australian Aboriginals practice something called "pointing the bone". Similar practices are recorded from ancient times and continue to be practiced today in all societies. In medieval times they burned people for practicing witchcraft.
Psychic Attacks - What Are They?

Psychic attacks involve the manipulation and movement of different types of dark energies, entities and spirits. They involve the transferring of dark and negative energies into someone's physical and/or energetic bodies. Some of the dark energies and entities that find their way into physical and energetic bodies, and homes are sent without awareness, even though they are sent by humans. Others are sent intentionally to create harm and damage, often to control, manipulate or punish the individual. They can involve ritualistic techniques or ceremonies or use the psychic powers of the mind or a combination of both.

It's difficult for anyone to penetrate an aura that is healthy and strong. Auras are weakened by repressed emotions, negative emotions, through the regular use of drugs and alcohol, through smoking cigarettes and a variety of diseases. The physical presence of fungus, parasites, worms, or metal, chemical or atomic poisons can seriously weaken an aura. It's important to understand that all illness begins in the aura and then eventually moves into the physical body. Therefore the care and protection of your energetic body is as important as the physical body so you can repel psychic attacks and stay strong and healthy.
Intentional Psychic Attacks, Spells, Curses, Voodoo, Witchcraft

The dark and negative energies sent intentionally by others are called psychic attacks and can seriously affect humans and animals at a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. Psychic attacks can include spells, voodoo, mantras, invocations, negative energy rays, or other types of black magic. They attack psyches and can produce debilitating effects on the overall health and energy level of the affected person.
Dark Spirits and Entities

There are dark spirits and entities that can move into physical bodies and auras affecting what people think, speak, do, desire, and feel. The human who is invaded by these spirits or entities can take on the physical attributes, illnesses and behavior of the spirit or entity occupying the person to such a degree that there appears to be a complete personality change.
Negative Thought Forms

Another major type of dark negative energy that can be sent to others is through negative thinking, anger, wishing harm to others, jealousy, animosity, seeking revenge, vindictiveness, or other forms of thought that are based in anger, rage and fear. These are called thought forms and they can be lodged in a persons body or various layers of their auras causing a wide range of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual difficulties.
Degrees of Strength of Psychic Attacks

Psychic attacks and other dark negative energies, entities and spirits can have a wide range of effect from low to medium to high. The symptoms or changes in health or behavior can also range from low to medium to high. Not all health problems or behavior changes are caused by psychic attacks since there can be so many causes for the same symptoms. Confusion often exists when other physical and emotional difficulties are present in an individual's life. It's important to carefully assess all possible sources for the difficulties including physical factors, energetic factors and emotional factors.
Can We Draw Dark Energies To Ourselves?

We definitely can draw dark energies, entities and spirits into ourselves without any influence whatsoever from external sources. Prolonged states of anger, rage, resentments, bitterness, vindictiveness, and many types of fears, will draw and attract these negative energies. It's normal to get angry or fearful when things happen in our lives. These occurrences do not draw the dark side in to us. It's the long-term and prolonged states that set up the energetic attraction. Ongoing repressed negative emotions can eventually turn into a certain type of entity.

Violence of all types, physical, emotional and mental is a very powerful draw for negative and dark types of energies. The regular use of drugs and alcohol also draws these types of energies. Now one glass of wine is a social habit and does not affect our energy fields. However, when we become drunk, be it from alcohol or drugs, our auras becoming weakened substantially and negative invaders are attracted to the energy set up by this state. Smoking also greatly weakens the energy field and leaves us very vulnerable to negative influences.
Symptoms of Psychic Attacks and Dark Energies

There are many different symptoms that can indicate negative and dark psychic energies, spirits or entities. The following list identifies a few major symptoms. But these symptoms can also indicate other types of health problems and it's important to investigate all possibilities.

* Suddenly acting totally out of character
* Major changes in behavior for no reason
* A loss of memory
* Major changes in clarity of thinking or analytical ability
* Sudden ongoing fatigue for no apparent reason
* A drained feeling
* Icy cold feeling on part or all of your body
* Hearing someone's voice regularly
* Hearing voices
* Recurrent or frequent nightmares
* Strange or recurring accidents
* Feeling someone is watching you
* A discomfort or fear in a specific room or area in your home or office
* A loss of self-confidence
* A sudden loss of energy
* Sudden illnesses that elude diagnosis
* Sudden illnesses that cannot be explained
* Feeling someone touch you or bump into you when nobody is present
* Sensing a presence · Sensing a large pair of eyes watching you or following you
* Sudden or irrational difficulties with finances or relationships
* Imagining monsters, animals or frightening shadows
* Sudden depression without an apparent cause · Seeming ongoing bad luck
* Visions or hallucinations
* Irrational fear, anger or sorrow
* A negative obsessive thought, desire or fetish that won't go away

This is not a complete list but should give you a fairly good idea of areas to look at in the physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual areas. Each person who is on the receiving end of psychic attacks or dark energetic forces will have their own indications and effects. If you are not certain please consult with an experienced energy worker knowledgeable in identifying and clearing energies from different types of psychic attacks and dark energies.
How Do You Pick Up Negative Energies, Entities and Dark Energies ?

Negative entities, spirits, and dark energies can be picked up almost anywhere where negative people, emotions or thoughts exist. They are drawn to negatives. Therefore you can pick these up at meetings, in stores, at any type of gathering, or in your own home. At times when individuals have suffered prolonged pain in a certain place, the energies of this pain can remain there even though a person has left that place.

Negative entities, spirits and dark energies are strongly drawn to individuals who use drugs and alcohol. When people get stoned, their auras get weak and these negative entities and energies can easily penetrate into a persons aura or body. Humans are quite defenseless when they are stoned.

Smoking cigarettes or any other type of drug seriously weakens an individuals aura making them quite vulnerable to the entry of negative entities, spirits, and dark energies. Smoking eventually creates holes in an individuals aura so that their vital energy can seep out making them feel fatigued as well as making them vulnerable to negative energies.

Negative energies can be absorbed or can attach themselves to objects during the process of being made or by resting somewhere where negative energies exist. If you have the opportunity, ask an experienced antique dealer to tell you some of their stories about negative energies in antique furniture.

Negative energies can attach themselves to an object when it's being made or just by where is lives. These can be very difficult to eliminate. This past Christmas I received a gift of a small box as gift given in love. One day as I was checking my desk I realized that negative energies were attached to this little box. They had attached themselves from dark energies in the store they were sold from. I placed the box in the sun but that was not sufficient to clear the box. I then washed it thoroughly with soap and water and then placed it in the sun again and that finally cleared the box. It is much more difficult to clear old energies from antique pieces.
Sex and Negative Energies, Entities and Spirits

It's important to look at sex as an exchange of energies, entities and potential vulnerability rather than from a moral perspective. When you have sex with another human being you absorb their very essence mixing it with your own essence. You literally absorb their good stuff as well as their bad stuff.

If you have sex with someone who has negative energies, entities or spirits, it is almost guaranteed that some of this negative energy will be transferred into your body and/or aura through the physical act of sex. It's very important to ensure you want to absorb the very essence and energetic elements of the other person before having sex with that person. The more sex partners you have, ensures the greater diffusion of your own very special essence. It amounts to not being quite yourself anymore.

A client told me the story of her father who had an affair with a neighbor who happened to be a Wicca witch. This lady conducted many ceremonies and cast many spells. After a period of time, this man, his wife and their children were all invaded by negative energies and entities. Be careful of the company you keep.
How To Eliminate Psychic Energies

There are a variety of methods available for eliminating dark and negative energies, entities, spirits, and thought forms. The following will give you many ideas of things you can do to help yourself. It will also help you to ask an energy worker the right questions if you need help to eliminate energies through psychic attacks.

You will read many different methods and find a wide spectrum of suggestions regarding clearings. Some will even suggest that it's important to know who has entered your body or aura whereas others do not believe this to be important. Personally, I don't think one needs to spend time identifying the characteristics of the invading energy. What's important is to know how to clear and protect yourself and your home.

The following are a number of methods you can use, normally in combination, to ensure you get clear and remain clear. There is no perfect solution that can be applied to every psychic attack. What someone could need would depend on the power and strength of the psychic attack or dark energy, and the present state of the individual who has absorbed this energy.
An Energy Practitioner Experienced in Psychic Attack Clearing

If you believe you are absorbing negative energies or are the recipient of psychic attacks, you should seriously consider asking for the help of an energy practitioner who is experienced in the identification, clearing and elimination of psychic dark energies, entities and spirits. If you believe that spirits, entities or hard dark energies have penetrated your body or aura, please ask an energy worker for help. Many dowsers are quite knowledgeable on reading energy fields and can be very helpful in identifying if you have different energies in your auras, body or home. It's important to identify and eliminate these as soon as possible but please don't try to do this yourself. You might even draw more negative energies to yourself if you attempt the clearing yourself and exacerbate the situation.

There is always a strong need to protect a home and individuals close to the person who's been invaded. Someone experienced in clearing will know how to protect everyone, including themselves.

The method or combination of methods to be recommended by the energy practitioner will depend on the strength of the psychic attack, whether its accidental or intentional, and depending on the individual who has absorbed this energy.
Smudging With White Sage

Smudging with white sage is an ancient custom of North American Indians who have used and continue to use this method for clearing unwanted energies. You can purchase dried white sage in a variety of shops today or you can grow and dry your own white sage.

It's important to clear yourself each day and to clear your home and car at least once a week as a normal maintenance procedure. Today most people are exposed to many negative energies in their workplaces, in stores, restaurants, and almost anywhere they go. Anyone can pick up negative energies by just walking around.

People who work in close quarters with others, and this includes teachers, nurses, physicians, therapists, factory workers, energy workers, office workers etc., need to smudge and clear daily. Some of the negative energy carried in one persons aura can easily flip into your own aura, eventually causing illness. Daily smudging is a powerful clearing tool to use on yourself and your office to keep your energy field clear of "accidental" energy transfers. Unfortunately, this is normally insufficient for "intentional" psychic attacks.

To smudge just do the following. Take a bowl about 4 or 5 inches in diameter and place a few inches of sand to cover the bottom of the bowl and to protect the bowl from heat. Place a few leaves of white sage on the sand and light the ends or edges of the leaves. Once the leaf is flaming well, blow out the flame and leave the leaf to smoke. This smoke is what is called smudging.

Pass the smoke over your head and all around you a number of times. If you are smudging your home, close all the windows and doors and pass the bowl with leaves smoking around each room, into corners, up to ceiling corners, and into closets and cupboards. Leave the doors and windows closed for a few hours. This smudging can dissolve or eliminate many negative and dark energies, entities and spirits from your home.

You can grow your own white sage plants and in late fall cut the branches into small clumps and dry them thoroughly. Once the clumps are dry, put the white sage in plastic bags and enjoy smudging throughout the winter. I energize the bunches while they are drying for added potency in clearing. To grow your own white sage plants, contact a Canadian herbal firm called Richters who sell high quality white sage plants. You can reach them at www.richters.com.
Black Obsidian, Black Tourmaline or Pyrite Spray and Essences

You can make a spray by taking two teaspoons of the Choming Concentrate of either Black Tourmaline, Black Obsidian or Pyrite and mixing it with one cup of water. Then carefully spray your aura, or your home or office with this spray. This works in the same manner as the smudging, by dissolving or eliminating dark energies, spirits, or entities. These sprays are powerful protectors.

A Rock Shop Owner's Story

The owner of a rock shop recently told me a story about her experience with black tourmaline. She had been having many individuals with dark energies coming into her shop and decided to use black tourmaline to keep them out. She placed a grid using black tourmaline in her shop doorway to keep out these negative energies. Well not only did the negative energies not enter her shop that day, but she found that nobody entered her shop that day at all. She learned an important lesson about black tourmaline. But it's a powerful gem for keeping negative energies and beings away from you.


Black Obsidian and pyrite are just as powerful as black tourmaline but are more porous and allow good and loving energies to flow both ways, while protecting and keeping all negative energies away. Black Tourmaline tens to keep everything away. Mahogany and Rainbow Obsidian Gem Essences are powerful in eliminating negative energies caused by jealousy.

Just be careful not to mistake using a Black Obsidian, Black Tourmaline or Pyrite Gem Essence rather than the Mother Essence of these gems. Gem essences are not sufficiently potent to be diluted and used as a spray. Be certain to ask for the Mother Essence Concentrate for making a spray. I provide this and can be reached through my website at www.mkprojects.com.

The Black and Mahogany Obsidian Essences, the Black Tourmaline Essence, and the Pyrite Essence, can be very effective in clearing out negative energies lodged in bodies and auras. But the degree of clearing they can effect will depend on the type and strength of energy that has entered a body, aura, home, or office.
Black Obsidian and Black Tourmaline Gemstones

These gems are powerful protection to use just by carrying them in your hand or pocket. If you are going to be in environments where there is much tension, conflict, anger, manipulation or control, it's a good idea to keep one of these stones in your pocket.

Remember that if you keep it in your right hand or pocket, you are releasing and helping to release negative and dark energies. If you keep it in your left pocket you are drawing in energy to help you eliminate negative and dark energies. Anything held on the left side draws energy and anything on the right side releases energy.

If you carry these gemstones daily, they need to be rinsed under running water each morning to wash the negative energies they have absorbed. As you wash them state your intention to the Universe to cleanse them of negative energies. About every third day, place the stone in the sunshine and moonlight for 24 hours so that the gem can be re-energized. This is essential for the stone to continue working effectively. Gems are energized under the sun and moon. Some people suggest putting gems into salt water for cleansing but I consider that to be extremely harsh and severe, and lacking in love and caring for the gem. Running water, the sun and the moon are the perfect combination.
Tibetan Incense (made in Nepalese monasteries)

There is an incense made today in the monasteries of Nepal by Tibetans that is so pure that it can dissolve negative energies in your auras and home. This incense is made by hand in accordance with Tibetan traditions preserved through the centuries within the monastic orders of Tibet. It's made in the traditional Tibetan manner with 35 different spices and aromatic substances including nagi, saffron, and red and white sandalwood. This incense is now being made by Tibetans in monasteries in Nepal and can be purchased throughout the world.

It's important to know that incense, essences essentially anything made by machine loses much of its vibratory healing power and does not produce the same clearing or healing effect as incense or anything else made by hand.
Grounding - Being Fully Present in the Moment

Whenever you are thinking or trying to cleanse yourself of negative and dark energies, first ground yourself so you are deeply connected with Mother Earth. Sit down comfortably with both feet planted on the floor, and if possible, right on the earth. Imagine a thin silver cord that runs from the center of your being or from each of your ankles, way down to the center of the earth, right into the middle of Mother Earth. Hold this visualization until you feel deeply connected with Mother earth. This is an important beginning to many types of work with other dimensions. You want to connect with the majesty of other energies in other dimensions while remaining deeply connected to this beautiful planet of ours.

Certain gem essences are very effective in helping you stay grounded, centered and connected to the present moment. For purposes around psychic attacks I recommend Amber, Hematite or Zincite Gem Essences( www.mkprojects.com). Of course I consider Choming Essences that I make myself to be most effective.

If you like the feel of gemstones themselves, hold any of these gems in your right hand or right hand pocket for good protection. Please choose the shop where you purchase gems carefully. There are various qualities of gems and some have very little energy and therefore cannot provide any protection.
Spiritual Clearing of Intent

One of the most complex but most effective methods used to help clear yourself, your home, friends or pets is through the following meditative Spiritual Clearing of Intent. It is imperative as a first step that you call in SPECIAL PROTECTION for yourself. Please DO NOT try this clearing unless you are accustomed to working with intelligent energies from other dimensions and know how to protect yourself. If you try to clear someone with entities or spirits in their body or aura and do not protect yourself properly, the entities and spirits are almost guaranteed to flip into your body and aura and then you have the problem as well as the other person.

To clear yourself or someone else with intent, seat yourself in a very comfortable chair and close your eyes. Please ensure that you are coming from a place of love for all energies, including the negative psychic energies, when conducting this clearing. Once you are fully relaxed, connect with the intelligent energies of other dimensions and ask for protection from the Universe so that whatever is being cleared cannot find you or go into others. Then establish a cone of white light with another dimension so that the negative energies, entities, spirits that are being cleared can follow this lighted cone up into the Universe. Then ask the Universe to remove all negative energies, entities and spirits using the name of the person being cleared and ask the angels of the Universe to move this darkness up into the cone of light so they cannot harm anyone or anything else on this earth. Hold this thought and cone of light for a few minutes. You need to be able to hold this deep concentration for some time for this clearing to work.

After a number of minutes thank the Universe for its help and close down the cone of light. The critical factor with this clearing is the ability to connect with the energies of other dimensions. I estimate that only a few energy workers have the real ability to truly connect with intelligent energies of other dimensions to conduct this Spiritual Clearing of Intent. The Spiritual Clearing of Intent will not eliminate the psychic invaders if other dimensional intelligent energies are not connected with since they do the work. The energy worker is simply the instrument of connection.
Prayer and Connecting With Other Loving Spirits

People get very frightened when they believe they have been attacked psychically. They feel helpless and violated and without the necessary knowledge or skills to help or protect themselves. Fear is one of the greatest problems associated with psychic attacks since fear tends to magnify and intensify the experience of the person.

Prayer is so powerful and can help immensely when dealing with psychic attacks. If the person who has been attacked can pray to the God of their understanding for strength and courage, their fear should slowly abate and they will be better able to concentrate in applying a number of the suggestions for clearing that I make in this article. Positive prayer in love strengthens individuals to deal with their issues. Ask others to pray for you also as you go through this difficult experience. There are special convents and monasteries with sisters who do nothing but pray each day. Call them and ask them to pray for you as a special intention. Believe me, prayer works and needs to be part of the healing process.

For those who believe in the spirit world, ask those who are in other dimensions to guide you and help you through this experience. They are there and just need to be asked. Ask the highest of spirits and guardian angels to help you as part of this healing process for you.
Releasing Fear

Those who have been attacked need to release their fear and prayer and meditation is one of the simplest and most powerful supports for releasing this fear. It is much easier to get clear and stay clear when the fear is diminished.

Container Dissolving Method: The following manner of releasing fear takes some practice but it really works wonders in releasing fear. Close your eyes and slowly gather all the fear inside your body and put it all into one place, your solar plexus area. Take lots of time to ensure you gather all the fear into one place. Then build a soft-sided container to hold all this fear, a container than can expand or contract depending on how much is inside it. Concentrate on this container and keep shooting rays or laser beams of white light at it. These beams will break the fear into very small pieces. Then hold your hands out and imagine all the tiny pieces of fear running out of your body, your finger tips, your eyes, your ears, until all the fear is gone. Keep seeing the fear release from your body until the container is empty and disappears.

Deep Breathing: Another simpler way of relaxing and releasing fear is through deep breathing. Sit or lie down so that you are relaxed. Begin by inhaling on a count of 5 then hold this breath to the count of five and then release this breath to the count of 5. Take a break to the count of 5 and begin the inhalation again. Do this slowly and you should find that you begin to relax after about the sixth or seventh breath. If possible, continue this exercise for 10 minutes to achieve deep relaxation. You might consider doing this exercise prior to the container method I just described above.
Protecting Visualization Techniques From Anger or Revenge

This technique works particularly well when others are angry with you and are sending you angry or vengeful thought forms. The person can be very angry, cursing you and wishing you harm. They probably do not realize that they are sending you these thought forms that can lodge in your body or aura. You may hear their voice in your mind, see a blurry vision of them speaking to you in anger, or just be feeling very uncomfortable. Do you remember the many times when you had angry conversations with someone who was not present? You may have thought you were talking to yourself but in reality you were sending out angry thought forms when you did this.

The following is a visualization I have used many times that has worked well when used properly. Visualize that you are where you are and this other person is about 100 yards away from you. Then visualize a Plexiglas wall that drops between the two of you. This glass wall is about four to six inches thick and is such that anything loving can penetrate this wall easily, while negative images or thoughts cannot be heard through this wall or in any way penetrate this wall. Hold the image of this wall and I guarantee you that the angry voices and images will disappear almost immediately. This will give you real protection from angry thought forms so they cannot penetrate or lodge in your body or aura.
Surrounding Yourself in White Light

White light is the light of love and using this practice can help with minor negative energies. You can surround yourself with white light and feel the presence of a Loving Universe. However, this white light often does not keep out the heavier dark energies and normally does not keep out entities and spirits. It's a good practice to connect with the Universe but not very powerful in protecting you from certain energetic practices.
Cleansing and Rebalancing of Auras and Chakras

You will need to ask an Energy Worker to do this for you, but if you have been on the receiving end of a psychic attack, your chakras will be distorted by these energies and no longer working properly. You will also have holes in your auras. Ask an Energy Worker to bring your chakras back to their perfect shape, to ensure they are spinning properly and at the perfect speed and to close the holes in your aura.

At times part of a psychic attack could include attaching cords, hooks and even placing nails in the midriff area. Ask the Energy Worker to clear all hooks, attachments, markings, and any negative energy rays that might have become attached to you.

Ask the Energy Worker to seal your aura, to eliminate all holes in your aura, and to make certain your aura is not leaking in any way. They should be checking you at a distance for two or three days after the sealing to ensure there are no leakages.
Personal Affirmations

As you think so you will behave - that's so accurate. You need to adjust your belief system so that you will believe that you will be safe and have the overall feeling of the love and protection of the Universe. An affirmation is a statement you make from the bottom of your heart, with deep felt emotions, stating the effect you wish to experience. For safety from psychic attacks you could say "I am safe and totally protected by the Universe from all energy that is not for my highest good". Or you could say "I will draw to myself today the powerful loving and protecting energies of the Universe".
Protecting Yourself Against Psychic Attacks

The following is a summary list of things you can do to protect yourself from psychic attack:

* Clear your aura with white sage or Tibetan incense on a daily basis.
* Regularly spray your home with Black Tourmaline, Black Obsidian or Pyrite Essence Spray
* Keep a loving and caring attitude towards others
* Keep yourself grounded with cords to the center of Mother Earth or use Gem Essences to keep yourself grounded. Amber, Hematite and Zincite Essences and gemstones are powerful for grounding.
* Include time for prayer and meditation on a daily basis.
* In your daily spiritual practices, include positive personal affirmations for your overall comfort and safety.
* On a regular basis, ask an Energy Worker to clear all attachments, markings, or negative rays that have become attached to you. Also ask this person to ensure your chakras are operating at optimum efficiency.
* If you are able to connect with energies of other dimensions, clear yourself of all negative energies, entities, spirits, attachments, markings and negative rays using the Spiritual Clearing of Intent.
* When required to spend time with individuals who are in conflict, make a practice of keeping a black obsidian, black tourmaline or pyrite gemstones in your right hand pocket. Be certain to cleanse and re-energize the stones.
* Practice deep breathing exercises when you become fearful and anxious.
* When in doubt, call an Energy Worker to work with you to help you clear negative and dark energies and psychic spells.

A Friend's Story

I'll like to tell you a story about a friend of mine who had a serious psychic attack directed at her intentionally. Two years prior she had experienced many difficulties including the death of her partner, financial problems, and difficulties at work. At about the same time her health began to deteriorate very quickly. Her physician sent her to at least 20 different specialists and nobody could tell her what was wrong with her. Her physician finally told her to go home and rest since there was nothing else he could do. She sat and stared out of a window for six to seven hours each day for a year, seriously depressed, never having suffered depression before. She knew her mind was working, even though her thinking process had slowed down substantially, but somehow she could not complete her sentences or even say what she wanted to say. Her fatigue was huge and she had become quite listless and inactive. If she went to the store one day she had to rest in bed the next day. The smallest activity fatigued her substantially.

She visited a mystic who informed her that she had been invaded by very dark energies, that someone had intentionally cast spells on her, and that her aura had been broken into in a number of places leaving large holes. There were many holes in her aura and many negative and dark energies, entities and spirits in her body, aura and home. For two weeks she cleansed her home daily with white sage and obsidian spray. She cleansed her aura daily. She held a very large piece of black tourmaline gem in her right hand to help release these energies. She was quite terrified of the energies that had invaded her and created havoc with her health. For the following 5 days she held the black tourmaline in her left hand drawing in the healing energies and protection she required within. She held this piece even during her sleep. She had been experiencing very strange headaches and pains around her heart which lasted for days. As soon as one of these headaches started she held the black tourmaline harder and the headache left her immediately. Some of the dark energies must have lodged in her brain and the black tourmaline released and eliminated these harmful energies.

This lady has a deep faith and belief in family and friends who have passed over and believed that they were present with her and giving her strength and comfort throughout her clearing and healing. She worked very hard to maintain her connection with the spirit world and received much courage and strength from them.

I repeatedly cleansed her doing distance energy work with her aura and body to help release the energies she had absorbed as well as the markings and other connections. Once many of these energies were released I sealed her aura with special protections so these negative energies could no longer find her or invade her. Her chakras had become distorted from these energies and these were cleansed and rebalanced.

Within two weeks the majority of her depression was gone. Her energy began to return immediately. She now had the opportunity to deal with her life issues. For the past year she had not been able to sleep normally and she began to sleep relatively normally again once the clearing process was underway.

Without this releasing and cleansing her sickness would have become deeper and deeper. The symptoms of psychic attack are not always cut and dried. This lady had experienced many serious difficulties in her life, and at the same time had had serious psychic attacks directed at her.

Subsequent to the clearings she remembered that the last people who had lived in the home she was living in had been in the drug business. Please be aware that drug use and excessive alcohol consumption leave your energetic body totally unprotected so that dark energies, entities and spirits can enter and stay there very easily. Places where drugs are sold and consumed, where addicts are present, are filled with dark and negative energies. Her home had been full of negative energies from the time she moved in. In addition, others had attacked her energy field to control and manipulate her.

It was very important that the lady became a full participant in her clearing and healing process and did not expect the Energy Worker to "do it for her". The energy worker provided the tools and guidance but the lady did the work herself. As a result she learned a great deal about looking after her energetic bodies and was instrumental in clearing her negative energies and entities. She has other physical and emotional issues to deal with but they are much clearer now that the negative and dark energies are gone.

im not considering myself too spiritual or enlightened in these matters by the scenario fit the bill. i've got some black tourmaline bracelet on right hand and felt my hand being cold all the time, while the other hand was ok.
The most interesting and scary thing happened when i went to supermarket for some shopping. i needed a small bottle of rum for a cake baking. When i stood in front of shelves of various spirits i felt there massive energy pulling out of my right arm. It felt like somebody pull my fingers towards bottles with brandy, whiskey etc. it really scared me. whole episode felt like a cold wind/energy left my body through that hand with bracelet on. i didnt choose anything i just run away from there.

i felt better, but bracelet stopped having this weird energy feeling around it.

other thing, shortly after i've got the bracelet i took an afternoon nap and i had a dream that couldnt be mine, it was so wrong in many ways. how i behaved in that dream was absolutely against my nature and beliefs. i didnt like it and i remembered it very well.

i really dont understand what and why because i never though of other energy beings as reason for the illness. the first place i would normally go is the doctor and pharmacy. this all scares me and makes me think how dangerous it can be if people chose to be ignorant and believe in things i can see..

"Ashwagandha, an exotic Indian herb, has remarkable stress-relieving properties comparable to those of powerful drugs used to treat depression and anxiety. In addition to its excellent protective effects on the nervous system, ashwagandha may be a promising alternative treatment for a variety of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Ashwagandha has powerful antioxidant properties that seek and destroy the free radicals that have been implicated in aging and numerous disease states. Even more remarkable, emerging evidence suggests that ashwagandha has anti-cancer benefits as well. ..."
