This is Great News! Of course, more studies will be needed, but it's definitely time to increase your ginger intake!
Turmeric has widely been touted for its effect on cancer, but new research has shown that its cousin ginger is just as powerful. Not only that, an active compound in ginger has potentially been found to be more effective than some cancer medications at killing cancer.component in ginger known as 6-shogaol is superior to conventional cancer medication, namely chemotherapy, at targeting the cause of breast cancer malignancy: breast cancer stem cells.
Sometimes referred to as ‘mother cells,’ cancer stem cells are the cause of a wide range of cancers, not simply breast cancer. These ‘mother cells’ are responsible for creating the different ‘daughter’ cell types that make up the tumor colony. While cancer stem cells only constitute 0.2% to 1% of the cell makeup of the tumor, they seem to be almost ‘immortal.’
What that means is, these cancer stem cells can self-renew, they are capable of continuous differentiation, are resistant to conventional chemotherapeutic agents, and are capable of splitting off and forming new tumor colonies. The only way to fully ensure that your body is cancer free is to destroy the cancer stem cells within a tumor.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) pose a serious obstacle to cancer therapy as they can be responsible for poor prognosis and tumour relapse. In this study, we have investigated inhibitory activity of the ginger-derived compound 6-shogaol against breast cancer cells both in monolayer and in cancer-stem cell-...

This is a great read, especially if you are one of the many people taking medication for a chronic problem. You don't need to depend on these drugs to be well. There are better solutions to your health problems.
Here's a Summary of the article:
1. We are taking too many medications and your doctor is only trained to dispense them. They don't have the tools to offer you a better solution.
2. Statin drugs will not lower your risk for heart disease.
3. Medications were never meant to be used long-term
4. Antacid meds (Prilosec, Nexium) are some of the most damaging and hardest drugs to get off of.
5. Antidepressants are a growing problem especially for their use in children. They increase your dependency and worsen your depression.
6. The most dangerous medications include:
NSAIDs - Ibuprofen, Naproxen
PPIs - Prilosec, Nexium
Anti-histamines
SSRIs, Adderal, Ritalin
Common cold meds don't work

In his new book, “Mind Over Meds,” the champion of integrative medicine continues his fight against overmedication.

Top Ten ways to Optimize Brain Health and Prevent Dementia

1. Get appropriate therapy, including Chiropractic manual therapy and specific upper cervical/cranial therapy and Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for mitochondrial health. The outcome of this is better CSF flow, improved energy production, and less "junk" inside the brain and the cell.
2. Food: Eat the right foods for you, foods you are not sensitive to, foods that avoid SIBO(small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) if you have it, foods that deal with your blood sugar, and foods low in histamines and oxalates if you have problems with those. You have to deal with calories, and determine if you need more protein, carbs, or fats.
For brain health, good fats such as coconut oil, healthy proteins, lower calories, fewer carbs, and 17 hours of fasting every two days a week is helpful (unless you have problems regulating blood sugar control).
3. Keep your emotions in check: Low stress, good friends, professional enrichment, physical exercises, and spirituality. Control your partying.
4. No excito-toxins. No artificial sweeteners and no MSG.
5. Reduce and eliminate gut inflammation. The digestive tract is known as our second brain and the two organs are intimately connected. Having a healthy microbiome (healthy gut bacteria environment), no gut infection, and good gut barrier is good for your brain. A bad gut is a bad brain.
6. Specified vestibular (balance) exercises and brain games (memory games, Sudoku). High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) that correlates with the best time of day for improved adrenal function (based on daily cortisol rhythm).
7. Control Inflammation: homocysteine, lipids, blood sugar, and insulin.
8. Keep the blood flowing with nitric oxide control and blood vessel integrity. Healthy blood pressure is critical for optimal oxygen and nutrient delivery. Both high and low blood pressures are bad for the brain. High blood pressure (>130/90) constricts arterioles reducing flow. Low blood pressure (

Alzheimer's disease will affect everyone who lives into their eighties. You will either have it or you will care for someone that does. Learn how to protect yourself. Healthy lifestyle factors are your solution to reducing your risk.

Alzheimer's doesn't have to be your brain's destiny, says neuroscientist and author of "Still Alice," Lisa Genova. She shares the latest science investigating the disease -- and some promising research on what each of us can do to build an Alzheimer's-resistant brain.

They say a picture is worth 1,000 words, but I will take 108 articles in a review.
This is an important picture. Not only does it demonstrate that there are certain dietary components necessary, but that the person has to be firing on all cylinders as well.
Notice how the brain, liver, and immune system all help dictate the health of the GI tract. Also notice how it is a cycle where the end products send information back to how the whole system is working. These end products from bacteria also help regulate how our body functions. Anxiety, depression, insulin resistance, autoimmunity, cancer... those things typically start in the gut.
I have lost count of the number of times someone is "eating heathy" and still feels bad. This is why an evaluation of these systems is necessary. A stool test is a great place to start,

In most cases, Diabetes is 100% reversible and avoidable with the right education. No one should be burdened by these costs.

Drug costs are rising at a huge rate across the pharma industry - but it's particularly egregious in diabetes, given the lack of innovation in that field.
