In The Image Of Wellness

Starting February 1, we are conducting an essential oil experiment using five oils with five clients. You will need a diffuser to use two of the oils.

If you have digestive, memory/brain, or sleep issues and are willing to commit to a minimum of three, preferably six, months to using the oils as recommended and provide ongoing feedback , be one of the first five to DM me through Messenger.

Here’s a bonus on how to clean your diffuser if you don’t haveor can’t find the instructions.

Eggplant for the win!!

A new study out of Asia has found that high consumption—about 45 grams daily— of eggplant (aubergine) was associated with an amazing 58% reduction in risk for colorectal cancer. Eggplant is not usually thought of as a superfood but it’s actually loaded with cancer-fighting such as the anthocyanins nasunin and delphinidin (similar to what’s in blueberries). But the real anticancer secret sauce of this amazing vegetable may be the unique and powerful compound called solamargine. It’s been found highly toxic to human cancer cells in a test tube, with kill rates of 82% for lung cancer cells, 87% for prostate cells and 90% for breast cancer cells. The dosage of 45 grams daily is about half a cup chopped and has just 12 calories!

Go ahead and eat the chocolate.

But, the real stuff. Not the fake sugar-laden stuff!

Be sure to read Ethan’s additional information in his comments.

A new study out of the USA found that those eating just one ounce (28 grams) weekly of had 15% less risk of dying from any cause during the 14-year study period. In other words, their lives were longer. There was also a 23% reduction in heart disease risk and an incredible 43% risk reduction for death from Alzheimer’s disease. What makes chocolate so ? It’s a rich source of powerful antioxidants called PACs (proanthocyanidins) which have been associated with lower risk for several types of , heart disease and dementia. But moderation is key here: the best results were seen at just 0.7-1 ounces per week!

Tomatoes for less risk of breast cancer?!!

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CWADWyowB/?mibextid=wwXIfr

An observational study in the USA found women with the highest blood levels of lycopene had a stunning 50% less risk for . Since Americans get 90% of their lycopene from tomatoes and products, it’s clear that this tasty red vegetable was the main factor at work here. And while all carotenoids are , lycopene is the most powerful. That might explain why it was linked with the best risk reductions for breast cancer in this study, as well as less risk for heart disease and even Alzheimer’s in other studies. Lycopene absorbs best from cooked tomato products like paste, sauce, salsa, juice and especially so when healthy fat is added like extra virgin olive oil or avocado. Source: Pubmed ID 9486468

I look forward to this every year!

Spiderwort (Tradescantia) is starting to bloom! All of the soft above ground parts of this lovely Native can be used as food. Young leaves can be tossed into salads, or stir-fry. Older leaves can be minced and used for soup, or steeped in tea. Young stalks cook up like asparagus. The bright flowers can be tossed on top of a salad, eaten raw, candied, infused in honey or vinegars. As you can see from my fingers, they also make an excellent natural dye 😏. The seeds are edible as well, I’ve read accounts that the Natives roasted them and ground them into a powder. You’ll find it growing in glades, fence rows, prairies and many of your neighbors yards as landscaping. Bees love them, so they are excellent additions to your yard or garden. Happy foraging friends!

Too many people would rather talk about their “health” issue than do something about it.

Trying out a different sound frequency device that doesn’t require being hooked to an EMF-emitting device during sessions and that can be done while sleeping or relaxing.

After two sessions, I can feel the symptoms of detox: slight headache, stiffness and a different kind of congestion.

I’m more excited about this device than anything I’ve tried in a while.

Time to get busy!!

Eat the onions, ladies!!

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19RqpFVscE/?mibextid=WC7FNe

In a fully randomized and double-blind clinical trial, women who ate 100-160 grams of raw yellow onion daily during their breast treatments saw significant reductions in tumor markers CEA and CA125 after 8 weeks. This suggests that onions helped the women to more effectively fight their cancer. Onions are rich dietary sources of two anticancer superstars: the flavonoid quercetin and thiosulfinates. Importantly, cooking destroys them both. Also, the stronger tasting and smelling are, the more thiosulfinates they’ve got. A recent study from Mexico found that women eating more than one slice daily of onion had 73% less risk of getting breast cancer in the first place.
