( Natural News ) A 12-week randomized controlled trial published in Nutrition Journal found significant improvements in the mental health scores of participants who took turmeric capsules.

For the study, the researchers invited 90 men and women between ages 50 to 69 years old, who are considered overweight based on their body mass index (BMI). The participants were divided into two groups.

The turmeric extract group took two capsules daily for 12 weeks. Prepared by the House of Wellness Foods, the capsules contained a mixture of hot water and supercritical carbon dioxide extract with turmeric as well as gelatin, glycerin, soybean-derived emulsifier and beeswax . The other group took two placebo capsules containing carob and tartrazine as coloring agents to match the color of the turmeric capsules.

The participants reported to the institute on the fourth, eighth and 12th week to have their weight, BMI and C-reactive protein measured. They also answered questionnaires on their mood states and quality of life.

“Compared with the placebo group, body weight, body mass index and serum levels of C-reactive protein and the complement component were significantly lower in the group that took the turmeric capsules. In addition, the turmeric extract group showed a significant improvement in the SF-36 (the 36-item short-form health survey) subscale score for mental health and the profile of mode state score for anger and hostility,” the researchers involved in the study wrote.

The researchers concluded that turmeric extract may improve mental health by reducing low-grade inflammation and alleviating undesirable symptoms related to inflammation. Low-grade inflammation is related to aging, obesity and an unhealthy lifestyle. This can also be associated with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease , mood disturbance, cancer and mortality. “Results suggest that daily intake of a mixture of a hot water extract and supercritical carbon dioxide extract of turmeric may have the potential to improve mental health and negative mood state by reducing chronic low-grade inflammation,” the researchers wrote.

The study was conducted in Japan by the House of Wellness Foods Corporation’s Research & Development Institute. Turmeric: One of the most studied spices in the world

Turmeric is a golden spice that comes from the root of the Curcuma longa plant and one of the most studied spices in the world. Dozens of research have long established that turmeric has some amazing medicinal properties , with major benefits to the heart and brain.

It is anti-inflammatory and recommended by many herbalists and naturopaths for people suffering from conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or Crohn’s disease. (Related: The six health benefits of turmeric .)

Turmeric also has natural antibiotic and antiviral properties . Consuming foods or beverages with turmeric is a good way to go if someone is suffering from the flu or an infection. Turmeric has compounds that can naturally help kill off both bacteria and viruses and help the body recover more quickly from microbial attacks.

Curcumin , one of the main active ingredients in turmeric, has been shown in several studies to help prevent or treat different types of cancer, including melanoma ands cancers of the breast or prostate gland.

The liver is one of the most important organs in the body, helping with digestion, blood sugar balance and the removal of waste products before they can harm the body. Turmeric helps detoxify the liver before it becomes compromised.

This golden spice can be easily incorporated into any diet and be added to a lot of recipes. With just a pinch of the powder, one can enjoy the difference it makes to the taste of curries, stir-fries, casseroles and even smoothies.

( Natural News ) It is estimated that more than 4.5 billion people worldwide have now been “vaccinated” for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19). Many of them now suffer from “long” covid, however, which could be due to the persistent damage caused by the spike proteins contained in (viral vector) and produced by (mRNA) the jabs.

Also known as the S protein, covid jab spike proteins do a whole lot more harm than just bind to the body’s ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) receptors, allowing the virus to invade cells. It turns out that covid jab spike proteins interact with many other cellular tissues, including in the lungs, mitochondria and cardiovascular system.

This assault causes all kinds of health damage to the many intricate and complex systems of the body. And in the case of messenger RNA injections (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna), the spike proteins continue to be manufactured inside the body long after the initial jabs.

We now know for a fact that jab spike proteins:

• Damage the lung cells (including the pulmonary alveoli and pulmonary endothelial cells)
• Damage the mitochondria and DNA structures
• Damage cardiovascular cells
• Increase the risk of blood clots
• Damage brain cells
• Promote inflammation
• Suppress immunity
• Increase the risk of cancer

A 2021 paper published in the bioRxiv preprint repository found that spike proteins cause the Type 1 catalytic receptors in the kidneys to increase in kidney cell tissue, making the kidneys more susceptible to the Fauci Flu.

Spike proteins also cause cells in the small intestine to stimulate large amounts of L-SIGN (liver / lymph node-specific intracellular adhesion molecules-3 grabbing non-integrin) receptors, which defend against pathogens. The problem with this is that after a large number of adhesions occur, the small intestine becomes more susceptible to viral infection. Similarly, spike proteins trigger an increase in DC-SIGN (Dendritic Cell-Specific Intercellular adhesion molecule-3-Grabbing Non-integrin) receptors in the lungs, which can trigger inflammatory symptoms in the lungs.

“In addition, spike proteins can cause different degrees of oxidation of the organs, leading to more cells’ premature deaths and putting the body in a hyperoxidized state, which may further increase the risk of cancer,” reports The Epoch Times .

Another study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA) found that spike proteins negatively impact lung functionality by causing the pulmonary alveolar cell walls to thicken and solidify. They also inhibit the pulmonary cell mitochondria, which is where energy is produced.

Prolonged covid symptoms could actually be the spike proteins damaging mitochondria and blocking their energy production. The result is a cascade of abnormalities and health problems that vary from person to person.

Perhaps the biggest fear is cardiovascular damage, the risk of which is greatly increased by the presence of spike proteins. The risk of blood clots increases massively following exposure to them, hence why many “fully vaccinated” people are developing conditions like myocarditis and pericarditis. Here’s how to protect yourself against spike protein damage

If you or someone you know got “vaccinated” for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) and now regret it, all hope is not lost. The following vitamins and herbs have been scientifically shown to help neutralize spike proteins and the damage they inflict on the body.

The World Council for Health (WCH) recommends the following immune-boosting compounds, which may help to expel vaccine spike proteins while improving the symptoms they cause:

Vitamin C
Vitamin D
Omega 3 fatty acids
Quercetin
Melatonin
Zinc

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a powerful anti-inflammatory that further helps protect the body against spike protein damage.

Consuming a low-histamine diet will also help to prevent the immune system from overreacting and harming the body more, a situation known as a cytokine storm.

Common medications that can help improve symptoms include:

Aspirin
Antihistamines
Steroids
Colchicine
Mast cell stabilizers IvermectinAspirin helps to thin the blood, reducing the risk of thrombus and the ever-dreaded Fauci Flu shot blood clots that many people are suffering.Antihistamines, in a similar way to NAC, prevent over-activation of the immune system while the others help to minimize inflammation.Ivermectin, by the way, is a powerful remedy for a variety of health conditions, including cancer. For many, it also rids the body of the Fauci Flu.In the plant kingdom, the following substances are spike protein inhibitors:Selfheal extract Pine needle extract Dandelion leaf extract Rheum emodimNeem is another spike protein inhibitor, as is ivermectin.As for spike protein neutralizers , the following herbs and substances show incredible promise in remediating the damage caused by the injections:NAC Glutathione Fennel tea Anise tea Pine needle tea St. John’s Wort Lithospermum Vitamin C“Some of these ingredients, such as the shikimic acid contained in pine needles, have antioxidant properties that can reduce oxidized free radicals in the body and provide a detoxifying effect,” reports The Epoch Times .More of the latest news about the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) can be found at Pandemic.news .

( Natural News ) Eating a balanced diet is key to maintaining optimal health. According to David Sinclair, a longevity expert and Harvard geneticist, superfoods like avocados and blueberries can increase your life expectancy.

Aside from exercising regularly and supporting your mental health, incorporating nutritious foods into your regular diet can help you stay healthy and live longer.

Below are six items at the top of Sinclair’s “ longevity-minded grocery list .” Avocados

Avocados rank number one because they are full of healthy monounsaturated fat and dietary fiber, which can help you feel full for longer.

Avocados are also rich in other nutrients like carotenoids, minerals, omega-3s, phytosterols, polyphenols, protein, soluble fiber and vitamins B-complex, C, E and K. These benefits work together to support your brain, eye and heart health by balancing your cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

Here are some suggestions on how to eat more avocado : Make scrambled eggs with diced avocados.

Season avocados with a pinch of salt and pepper along with other seasonings like cayenne pepper or paprika.

Serve avocadoes stuffed with eggs, herbs and spices.

Eat avocados with your breakfast toast.

Make homemade guacamole with avocados, herbs and seasonings.

Olive oil

Olive oil is second on Sinclair’s list because it is a natural source of healthy fats. You can enjoy high-quality olive oil as a dip for bread or gluten-free bread.

Olive oil is rich in beneficial antioxidants, phytosterols and vitamins that can help boost skin and brain health. It also helps optimize cholesterol levels and blood pressure.

According to a recent study, there is a link between olive oil intake and increased longevity. Brussels sprouts

Third on Sinclair’s list are Brussels sprouts , especially when roasted and pan-fried with some garlic, salt and pepper.

Brussels sprouts are cruciferous vegetables full of vitamins A, C and K and folate. The vegetable also contains minerals like potassium and fiber that promotes feelings of satiety.

Brussels sprouts support cell and immune health because it contains antioxidants like kaempferol and quercetin, respectively. (Related: Broccoli is a powerful anti-aging food that you should be eating every day .) Cantaloupe

Cantaloupes rank fourth on the list, and according to Sinclair, they are one of the most nutritious fruits on the planet.

Their orange color comes from the carotenoid beta-carotene, which your body converts to vitamin A. The vitamin offers many benefits, such as promoting eye, skin and reproductive health. Blueberries

Blueberries rank fifth on Sinclair’s list of must-have superfoods.

Blueberries are full of beneficial antioxidants that promote healthy skin and collagen production thanks to their vitamin C content. They are also full of dietary fiber, which helps maintain healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

Blueberries are rich in anthocyanins that give them their blue-purple pigment and play a crucial role in brain and overall health. According to studies, there is a link between anthocyanins and healthy aging. Nuts

Nuts like cashews and Brazil nuts are sixth on the list. They contain high amounts of protein, with 5.1 grams per ounce of cashews and four grams per ounce of Brazil nuts.

Cashews also contain copper and magnesium, while Brazil nuts are rich in selenium. However, you should limit your consumption of Brazil nuts to one to three pieces per day to avoid consuming too much of the mineral.

Nuts are also full of “good” fats like omega-3s and omega-6s.

( Natural News ) According to the CDC, 40% of children between the ages of 3 and 6 use potentially dangerous amounts of toothpaste .

(Article republished from ChildrensHealthDefense.org )

The CDC and ADA recommend using no more than a pea-sized amount for children in this age group, and those younger than 3 should use no more than the size of a rice grain on their toothbrush.

The problem with using excessive amounts of toothpaste has to do with the fluoride it contains. If you look closely, you’ll find fluoride-containing toothpastes have a warning on their label stating that “If you accidentally swallow more than used for brushing, seek professional help or contact a poison control center immediately.” This warning was made mandatory for fluoride-containing dental products by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in April 1997.

Ironically, while swallowing toothpaste is recognized as a cause for concern, we’re supposed to believe that drinking fluoridated water in any quantity is not only safe but beneficial for our teeth.

Too much fluoride causes dental fluorosis

The fact of the matter is that fluoride is a toxic substance with no known biological imperative. Researchers have even questioned its efficacy as a topical anticaries prophylactic .

Dental caries are caused by the demineralization of your teeth by the acids formed during the bacterial fermentation of dietary sugars. Demineralization is countered by the deposit of minerals from your saliva. However, the remineralization process is a slow one, and fluoride is said to prevent dental caries by enhancing this remineralization.

The problem is that your teeth do not actually rely on fluoride for remineralization. What’s more, research has concluded that the protective shield fluoride forms on teeth is up to 100 times thinner than previously believed.

It has long been believed that fluoride changes the main mineral in tooth enamel, hydroxyapatite, into a more-decay resistant material called fluorapatite.

However, the researchers found that the fluorapatite layer formed in this way is only 6 nanometers thick — meaning it would take almost 10,000 such layers to span the width of a human hair.

As noted by the authors, “it has to be asked whether such narrow … layers really can act as protective layers for the enamel.”

Meanwhile, fluoride has been shown to cause significant systemic harm when ingested, which is part and parcel of the CDC’s 2019 warning against using too much toothpaste. As reported by the Chicago Sun-Times:

“Brushing with too much toothpaste can damage enamel, as children could swallow too much fluoride while their teeth are developing, the CDC says. This can cause dental fluorosis, white marks and discoloration of teeth.”

However, dental fluorosis is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to fluoride damage. For example, evidence shows fluoride is an endocrine disruptor that can affect your bones, brain, thyroid gland, pineal gland and even your blood sugar level. Importantly, it’s a known neurotoxin, shown to lower IQ in children.

Over half of U.S. kids have fluoride-damaged teeth

According to research presented at the April 2017 National Oral Health Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico, 57% of youth between the ages of 6 and 19 years have dental fluorosis, a condition in which your tooth enamel becomes progressively discolored and mottled.

When Fluoride Action Network (FAN) researchers analyzed the same set of data, they found over 21% of adolescents had moderate fluorosis and 2% had severe fluorosis .

According to FAN, “The data suggests that up to 24 million adolescents now have some form of dental fluorosis, with over 8 million adolescents having moderate fluorosis, and 840,000 having severe fluorosis.”

Incredibly, the situation is still worsening. According to the most recent data, which has yet to be published, the dental fluorosis rate in the U.S. may now be a staggering 65%.

In stark contrast, when water fluoridation was first started in the U.S. in 1945, it was promised that only 10% of people would suffer from mild dental fluorosis at the then-recommended levels. Clearly, they were wrong.

In 2011, concerns over escalating fluorosis rates prompted the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to lower the recommended level of fluoride in drinking water, from a previously recommended range of 0.7 to 1.2 mg/L to 0.7 mg/L.

However, adverse effects, including reduced IQ, behavioral alterations, neurochemical changes, hypothyroidism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been demonstrated even at that lower level, so while it reduced exposure for many, the most serious risks remain.

What’s more, reduced IQ has been seen in study participants with higher urinary fluoride concentrations even when no dental fluorosis was present, which suggests the doses of fluoride that impair cognitive ability are far lower than those that cause severe dental fluorosis. Fluoridated water is likely a far greater concern Unfortunately, public health officials often brush off fluorosis as a purely aesthetic issue, one they believe is an okay trade-off for the supposed benefits of fluoride. In reality, dental fluorosis is an outward sign that fluoride is damaging the body in other ways as well.Research has found impairment in cognitive abilities among children with fluorosis (even mild fluorosis) compared to children with no fluorosis, for example. Studies have also found that children with higher levels of fluorosis have increased rates of cavities — a finding that suggests more is definitely not better, not even when it comes to protecting against cavities. Importantly, the CDC completely ignores the role fluoridated water plays in this epidemic, as toothpaste is by far not the only source of fluoride for young children, and probably isn’t the most significant source either.In a January 2019 study in the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry, the prevalence of dental fluorosis among 10- to […]
