More proof that cannabis is an anti-aging powerhouse: THC found to rapidly restore memory performance of older mice
( Natural News ) Keeping the brain healthy throughout the aging process is a top concern these days. With rates of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia on the rise, it is no small wonder that researchers are looking for novel ways to combat brain aging and support cognitive function across the life span. New research has shown that cannabis may just be the answer we’ve been looking for, with scientists discovering that the plant has incredible restorative benefits for the brain. Estimates suggest that some 14 million Americans will be living with some form of dementia by the year 2050. For 2018, dementia and Alzheimer’s are expected to have cost the country $227 billion. Within the next thirty years, experts posit that the cost of dementia will reach up to $1.1 trillion. As pharmaceutical treatments continuously fail to provide relief, it is no surprise that scientists are now turning to natural, plant medicines like cannabis and turmeric. Cannabis reverses brain aging Scientists from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the University of Bonn teamed up to examine the potential brain benefits of cannabis in mice. This amazing study is years in the making, with the researchers having built a strong body of evidence on the brain benefits of THC. To conduct their study, researchers administered a small amount of THC, derived from cannabis, to mice aged two, twelve and 18 months old for the course of one month. Some mice were given a placebo. As sources explain, mice have very short life spans and show substantial cognitive deficiencies at just 12 months of age.

Compounds in pomegranate juice found to trigger cancer cell death
( Natural News ) With proper dietary supplementation with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents, cancer may be prevented or slowed down. One of these powerful anti-cancer agents is pomegranate. According to research, pomegranate juice and pomegranate extract contain powerful healing chemical compounds such as luteolin and ellagic acid that effectively work together to help prevent cancer cell growth , particularly prostate cancer cells. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancer types, affecting one in nine men . It is also the second leading cause of death from cancer among American men. Researchers exposed human prostate cancer cells to pomegranate fruit extract. Exposure to the extract caused the cancer cells to immediately produce substances that cause apoptosis, which is the programmed cell death in cancer cells. This process controls the destruction of potentially cancerous tissue in the body. In another experiment, researchers fed mice with cancer with pomegranate fruit extract. Consumption of pomegranate fruit extract significantly inhibited tumor growth and caused a dramatic drop in an important prostate antigen. With these findings, the researchers concluded that pomegranate juice could help prevent prostate cancer and slow down its development. In a more in-depth study on pomegranate compounds, German researchers searched for ways to reverse or slow down tumor growth in some types of prostate cancer. They evaluated a variety of pomegranate extract forms, such as those from the seeds, juice, and fruit oils. The researchers found that pomegranate extracts work together with several important mechanisms to help hamper the growth of cancer cells, which is in contrast to the drugs used in chemotherapy that only work through one mechanism. Eventually, this will cause cancer cells to be immune to chemotherapy.

10 surprising ways sex affects your brain
Researchers continue to study the ways that sex can affect your brain, because having sex is great for both your body and your mind. Aside from simply feeling good, having sex is great for your overall health and can have some seriously powerful benefits on your body and brain. From lowering stress levels to improving your memory, these are the 10 ways sex affects the brain. Having sex isn’t just a surefire way to feel closer with your partner and enjoy some time connecting with your own body, but sex also has some pretty powerful benefits for your mental health, as researchers have studied over time. It’s true that sex is good for the body and brain , and can have both immediate effects as well as long-term benefits, especially as you get older. From lowering stress levels to improving your memory, these are the 10 ways sex affects your brain . Sex triggers the release of a cocktail of chemicals in the brain. There’s a reason why sex feels so good, and it’s all because of the brain. During sexual activity, a flood of feel-good hormones are released throughout our bodies, lighting up the reward centres in our brains. In 2017, researchers at Harvard University discussed the science behind some of those chemical reactions, sharing just how powerful they can be. " Dopamine , produced by the hypothalamus, is a particularly well-publicised player in the brain’s reward pathway – it’s released when we do things that feel good to us. In this case, these things include spending time with loved ones and having sex," shares Katherine J. Wu , Ph.D., a graduate student at Harvard, adding, "High levels of dopamine and a related hormone, norepinephrine , are released during attraction. These chemicals make us giddy, energetic, and euphoric." […]
Researchers confirm excessive screen time can irreversibly harm kids’ brains
( Natural News ) Digital devices and other electronics are at the top of many kids’ wish lists this holiday season. If you’re considering upgrading your teenager’s cellphone or getting your preschooler their first tablet, you might want to keep in mind the early results of a groundbreaking study that confirms many parents’ fears about the effects of all that screen time . The preliminary results are in on a huge study carried out by the National Institutes of Health. The $300 million project known as the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study enrolled 11,874 children aged 9 and 10, 2,100 of which are twins or triplets. The study will follow the children throughout young adulthood at 21 research sites in the U.S. Although not all of the data are available yet, the early results are as insightful as they are alarming. Just as many experts and parents alike have long suspected, all that screen time is impacting not only children’s mental health and emotional development, but it’s changing the physical structure of their brains. Not surprisingly, the researchers discovered that children who spend more than two hours per day in front of screens get lower scores on thinking and language tests. Teenagers, by the way, spend 4.5 hours, on average, with their mobile phones each day. That finding should be enough to give most parents pause, but the situation is even more serious for those who spend more than seven hours per day in front of a screen. MRIs of these children showed a premature thinning of the outermost layer in the brain, the cortex, when compared to their peers who don’t use as much technology. The cortex is responsible for sensory input and the type of higher-order functions that make us humans. Mother Nature’s micronutrient secret : Organic […]

Top 7 holiday “goodies” that contain chemicals and carcinogens you should avoid – replace with these healthy substitutes
( Natural News ) Most people during the holidays say, “all bets are off” regarding regulating their healthy food intake, and they simply gorge on treats and junk food right and left, at least until their body starts sounding the alarms. There are lots of house parties, office parties, neighborhood fiestas, pot luck lunches, bar hopping, and the frequent “eating out” going on in December. Anybody with food allergies, gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance, IBS, Crohn’s, ulcers, and anyone who’s vegan or vegetarian find themselves in a world of hurt, trying to “eat right” and not indulge in all the junky Christmas treats, movie theater “food,” and alcoholic beverages slung around like they’re free lollipops for the taking. What’s a healthy person to do? Count chemicals, not calories, for starters So many people these days are so worried about counting calories, empty carbs (carbohydrates), and grams of sugar, that they forget to identify and eliminate chemicals from their intake, especially during the holidays. It’s one thing to put on a few unwanted pounds during the holiday season, but to damage your cleansing organs and wipe out your immune system is a horse of a different color. Chemicals in American food, especially junk food and holiday treats, can do serious, if not permanent, damage to your body and brain. It’s important not to warp your cells, not to choke them out, and not to clog your blood while “partying” up a storm this holiday season . So let’s filter out the chemicals by choosing or making smart treats, instead of just grabbing the junk-science ones and shoving them down our throats like starving Neanderthals.

Curcumin is a powerful natural compound that shows potential for treating diabetes
( Natural News ) More and more people are hearing about the wonderful benefits that the Indian spice turmeric ( Curcuma longa ) has. It is hailed as one of the world’s best superfoods, and this is mostly thanks to its active ingredient curcumin. This golden pigment has a vast collection of biological activities that range from regulating blood sugar levels to reducing immune responses caused by harmless substances. Although curcumin is already very good on its own, there is no harm in trying to make it even better than it already is. This is what researchers from Egypt and Saudi Arabia were trying to achieve when they synthesized various heterocyclic compounds from curcumin . Curcumin has great pharmacological potential since it already has the beneficial properties needed to cure diseases like diabetes and allergies. All that’s left to do now is to make sure that humans get the most out of it. People usually acquire curcumin through oral means like eating foods made with turmeric and taking supplements. However, the benefits that are acquired through these methods are just a fraction of the compound’s full potential. To be able to enjoy everything that curcumin has to offer, it is important to overcome the shortcomings that it has when it comes to delivery . These include poor water solubility and absorption, as well as rapid degradation. One of the ways through which these problems can be addressed is by deriving curcumin analogs that still retain its biological activities. Heterocyclic derivatives of curcumin Heterocyclic compounds, such as pyrimidines, pyranones, and cyclohexanones, have shown great promise in drug delivery. Moreover, these compounds also have biological activities. These include killing fungi and bacteria, preventing tumor growth, and lowering blood pressure. The authors of the study believed that converting curcumin into heterocyclic derivatives […]
Woman nearly dies after “soy sauce cleanse” hoax promoted on social media – is MSG to blame?
( Natural News ) Dangerous trends are nothing new on the internet, but one particularly ill-conceived fad has left a woman brain dead, according to reports. The woman had taken part in the “ soy sauce cleanse ,”, which sees people drinking a full liter of soy sauce in the span of just two hours on the pretense that it will allow them to rid their body of toxins. The theory goes that soy sauce’s high sodium content means that “toxins” will essentially follow the sodium right out of the body. If that sounds like it has the potential to go very wrong, you won’t find the next part of this story surprising at all. On YouTube, a popular video blogger known as Dr. Bernard said that a 39-year-old woman who decided to try this cleanse noticed her heart racing but resisted the urge to drink water. When she lost her ability to speak and then lost consciousness altogether, her husband called an ambulance. Her heart stopped beating while en route to the hospital, but she was resuscitated. She was treated with a sugar water IV for acute hypernatremia after her husband told doctors about the cleanse. After four days of unconsciousness, she was left unable to move any limbs and had trouble speaking or swallowing. She was diagnosed with a type of nerve damage to her brain stem known as central pontine myelinolysis. Ridiculous idea based on half-truths Dr. Bernard said that the soy sauce challenge is based on half-truths. While water will flow toward sodium in the body, he says, the soy sauce delivered excessive amounts of salt to her stomach, which then started sucking the water from her organs and muscles. When it reached her brain, it led to shrinkage that can cause permanent brain damage. […]
Rosemary displays a powerful anti-anxiety effect, similar to diazepam but without the side effects
( Natural News ) More than 500 million people suffer from anxiety worldwide. Because of this very alarming statistic, researchers are focusing on finding treatments for this condition. Natural products are good alternatives to anti-anxiety drugs because of their potency and safety. Researchers from Iran showed that rosemary, a commonly used medicinal plant, has potential use as a treatment for anxiety . Anxiety is a condition that causes frequent feelings of worry or fear in normal situations . Having this problem can greatly affect a person’s quality of life, especially when left untreated. The most common conventional treatments for anxiety include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and benzodiazepines, both of which are also used against depression. However, many patients suffering from mental health problems choose not to take these medications because of their side effects, which include nausea, vomiting, sexual dysfunction, insomnia, low blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, and drug dependency. Instead, they choose to go for alternative treatments like herbal remedies. Rosemary is a perennial shrub native to Mediterranean and Southern European countries . It has a broad range of pharmacological activities that include killing bacteria and fungi, reducing inflammation, preventing mutagenesis, neutralizing free radicals, promoting blood circulation, and lowering blood sugar levels. These properties of rosemary can be attributed to the presence of bioactive compounds, which vary depending on the form that rosemary is found in. Essential oils contain tricicline, 1,8-cineole, camphor, camphene, and bornyl acetate while hydromethanolic extracts are rich in flavonoids . There are also some people who use this herb for treating mental health disorders. However, this application was not yet fully understood prior to this study. 100% organic essential oil sets now available for your home and personal care, including Rosemary, Oregano, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Clary Sage and more, all 100% organic and laboratory […]

Coffee and Cannabis: How Caffeine and CBD Impact the Brain
For a lot of people, a cup of Colombian coffee is the only way to start the morning and get through the work day. Others may feel that smoking marijuana or using cannabidiol oil is the best way to unwind after a long shift. While the chemical components of caffeine and CBD have different effects on the brain, is it possible they’re more closely related than we thought? This is your brain on caffeine Despite the fact that Americans are drinking more coffee than ever, it hasn’t always been a popular beverage amongst medical professionals and scientific researchers. Not long ago, coffee was thought to be responsible for a host of negative effects on the body. It was blamed for high blood pressure, sleep impairments, and even cancer development. But that’s all changed. The World Health Organization has removed coffee from its potential carcinogen list and multiple studies have discovered that moderate coffee consumption can be extremely beneficial. In fact, it’s now been linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. It’s also been associated with a lower risk of death overall. In other words, drinking a couple cups of coffee per day could help you live longer. Studies have also found coffee consumption could help to safeguard the brain. It can boost our concentration and memory, of course, but research also shows that drinking coffee can lower your risk of dementia development . There’s actually a lot going on in the brain when you drink your daily cup of java. Caffeine binds to the brain’s receptors for adenosine —a chemical that makes us tired—and keeps that chemical from doing its thing. Subsequently, it keeps us awake and focused. It also prevents dopamine from being absorbed into the body. The upside of this […]
Try These 10 Natural Ways To Help Improve Memory
One scary thing that people notice as they get older is their memory starts to fade. As you age, bouts of forgetfulness can become more common, especially when exacerbated by the stresses of working a job and taking care of a family and home. Your genetics can also play a part, which might lead you to wonder what you can actually do to improve your memory. According to researchers, diet and exercise can play an important role in helping to prevent memory loss as you age. Here are some natural ways to improve your memory. Take a Vitamin D Supplement Source: Dr Weil Low levels of vitamin D can have a negative impact on your cognitive abilities. To keep this from happening, you should get tested for a vitamin D deficiency when you go to the doctor. If your vitamin D level is low, then your doctor can prescribe a vitamin D supplement that should raise your levels back to normal. Reduce the Amount of Alcohol You Drink Consuming too much alcohol can also have a detrimental effect on your brain function, especially if you binge drink. To avoid damaging your memory with alcohol, limit your consumption to no more than two drinks on any given day. Eat Food High in Antioxidants Source: Live Life Get Active Foods high in antioxidants help to reduce inflammation in the brain, a leading contributor to memory loss. Free radicals, which can cause inflammation are brought about in part by high levels of stress, as well as by processed foods or those high in fats and oils. Foods such as berries contain flavonoids, great for reducing free radicals in the brain, plus they taste great. Get the Proper Amount of Sleep Source: Independent Not getting enough sleep can cause you to have memory […]
What you should eat to get the most out of your brain
Be Fit Food chief executive officer and co-founder Kate Save. Source: Supplied. People in the workplace are becoming more aware of the string of health issues associated with a poor diet, but they’re less aware of the enormous impact our diet can have on our performance at work. The brain uses approximately 20% of our required energy, so it needs a constant source of fuel to function at an optimal level. And while most of what we hear about poor eating relates to consuming in excess, what’s worrying for the Aussie workforce is people are not eating enough of the right things. A recent study into the habits of Australian workers found one in 10 Aussies skip lunch altogether. It makes sense — when we’re busy and stressed, we sometimes tell ourselves it’s better to skip lunch to just get the work done. But what is actually happening is we’re doing more harm to our performance in the long run. In fact, a report by the International Labour Organization found poor diet on the job is costing businesses up to 20% in lost productivity. That’s because a lack of nutritious food can lead to fatigue, provoke irritability, decrease energy levels, increase stress and reduce our ability to think clearly and work effectively. A well-balanced, nutritionally fuelled diet can provide a valuable boost to workplace performance and subsequent long-term success by increasing energy levels, brain power, productivity and focus, and improving how we manage stress. There are particular nutrients that are important for brain functionality, and if you can pack most of these into your meals throughout the day, you’ll be on track to success. Protein Next to water, protein makes up most of the weight of our bodies as our muscles, organs, hair, nails and ligaments are all composed […]
What science is confirming about the benefits of CBD oil
( Natural News ) CBD oil is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after supplements on the market, but what do you really know about it? Scientists have been studying cannibidiol (CBD) for many years now, working to unravel the myriad of benefits afforded by this medicinal plant compound. CBD is one of hundreds of cannabinoid compounds found in the cannabis plant, and is now known to be a powerful, medicinal compound with a wide array of uses and benefits. Unlike the more infamous tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD is a non-psychoactive compound, meaning it does not produce the psychedelic effects that are characteristic of cannabis. Proponents of medical cannabis say that CBD is useful for an array of conditions, including cancer, seizure disorders, pain relief and more — and now science is backing up many of these claims, as well. Science-backed benefits of CBD oil Pain relief is one of the most well-documented uses for the cannabis plant. In fact, people have been using marijuana to treat pain since 2900 B.C. — and modern science is just starting to understand how. As Healthline reports , CBD is one of a few medicinal compounds found in the cannabis plant that are associated with pain relief. Studies have shown that CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, and it is through this bodily system that CBD is able to exact its pain-relieving effects. It’s posited that CBD can help mitigate chronic pain by influencing endocannabinoid receptor activity, interacting with neurotransmitters, and by decreasing inflammation. In addition to pain management, studies have also shown that CBD can offer relief from depression and anxiety. As Eco Watch explains , scientists have surmised that CBD can help relieve these conditions through its effect on serotonin receptors in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter responsible for […]

Good nutrition plays an important role in how well we sleep
( Natural News ) Good nutrition is one of the major contributors to overall health since it provides the body with the fuel it needs to function throughout the day. Moreover, it is also important in preparing the body for sleep . There are a number of things that can affect how well you sleep so before you start popping sleeping pills that have harmful side effects, try to address the root of the problem first. If you think that poor nutrition might be interfering with your internal clock then see if the following tips can improve your sleep quality: Reduce alcohol intake — At least 20 percent of American adults drink alcohol to help them fall asleep. However, drinking it regularly can interfere with the body clock’s ability to synchronize itself by suppressing the hormone melatonin. It also increases the concentration of adenosine, a compound that gradually builds up while a person is awake to block chemicals that stimulate wakefulness. Because of this adenine-boosting effect, there is a higher chance that you would fall asleep at times when you are normally awake and be awake when you should be sleeping. Avoid caffeinated drinks — Caffeine is a naturally-occurring stimulant that is commonly found in coffee, tea, soda, and energy drinks. According to the American Acad e my of Sleep Medicine , more than 85 percent of Americans consume caffeinated drinks daily. This can disrupt your sleep by stimulating brain activity, delaying your body clock, and reducing the amount of time you spend in deep sleep. Choose foods that help maintain serotonin — This brain chemical is more famous for its ability to improve mood but it is also involved a person’s internal clock. Avoid foods that are rich in sugar or are highly processed since they cause a […]
Mouse-to-human FAIL: Mini-kidney “organoids” grown from human stem cells do NOT mimic human kidney growth, instead begin developing their own brains
( Natural News ) Our scientific world of discovery and invention is, for the most part, breathtaking and amazing, but some “visionary” scientists think they can accomplish anything and everything in a laboratory, including growing human organs from stem cells. We all know that genetically modified organisms in food have been an epic fail, adding to the cancer and Alzheimer’s epidemics in America, while breeding “super-bugs” and “super-weeds” that have become immune to the toxins now inserted into the genes of our staple crops, including corn, soy, and canola. Now, scientists who thought they could manipulate human stem cells to grow kidneys in a laboratory have found that those Franken-kidneys sprouted their own brain and muscle cells , essentially going “rogue” and “behaving” in this completely unexpected manner. Washington University School of Medicine lab-grown organ experimental nightmare gone rogue smacks of the “Island of Dr. Moreau” Scientists in America will try anything to get rich and “save” millions of Americans from their own health demise, that’s usually caused by eating processed junk-science food stuff and lab-concocted GMOs for decades. Arrogant scientists think they can play God in their laboratories and fix everything wrong with sick humans, including their brains and vital organs, but they’re learning the hard, expensive way that they can’t. Scientists are trying to put animal organs in humans and wondering why it doesn’t work out. They’re trying to kill crop-destroying bugs and weeds by inserting pesticide genes in our food, then wondering why it kills the humans who eat it all as well.

The Power Within by Corey Daniels book available for only $2.99
Mind has both conscious and subconscious halves. These are likened to a driver and the truck he drives. The driver plans the destination and observes road conditions, while the truck provides motive power. Your subconscious mind is like the truck and it only goes in the direction in which is a steered. This can be the road or off a cliff. Likewise, the consciousness paints a picture of what the world is and what your goals are and the subconscious acts on them through emotion, physical response and energy, whether these are correct, rational images or false negative ones. The subconscious is also like an emotional reservoir which your body and mind draw responses from to external stimuli.
The Power Within lays out a method of programming your subconscious and tapping into the Holy Spirit, God voice or what the Greeks called the daimon (godman).
