Yesterday morning, the Mandarin teachers at my 3 year old’s Mandarin enrichment school (Bao Bei) took off his shirt to see if he’s still down with chicken pox. I guess they were afraid he’ll infect the other kids.

He healed. He’s actually healed in less than 3 days. Yes, thanks to the massive amounts of fruit and green juices he took.

Everyone have or will get chicken pox sometime or other. You can run but you can not hide from it. Even kids who have been vaccinated may get it too. We need, however, to get a little sick so we will develop some immunity.

Please read about Dr Klenner’s Vitamin C research.  Apparently, he has given massive injections of Vit C to pox patients, to find that the crusting of chicken pox was present in 5 hours instead of 7-9 days. What this means was, the chicken pox scabs dried up within 24 hours. If all the Drs care to tell us about, we will all suffer so much less right? By the way, Vit C is cheaper than Zovirax the anti-viral medicine.

There are actually different cinnamon.

Ceylon cinnamon is the true cinnamon and is typically more expensive than the other cinnamon (called cassia cinnamon) that are more commonly used.

The big difference between them is that cassia cinnamon have higher levels of coumarins compared to the Ceylon cinnamon.

The anti-coagulant properties of coumarins does not cause a problem when ingesting Ceylon cinnamon, but can become dangerous when ingesting the cassia cinnamon, if consumed in large amounts on a regular basis. This is especially dangerous for someone who is on blood-thinning medication!

Not that I am taking blood thinners but I am eliminating things like goji. Anything that I know of that thins the blood. I had trouble in May with them trying to get my blood to clot when I had that horrible cut. They (medical staff) kept asking me if I was on blood thinners my reply was no but found out I was eating some.

So I am watching those blood thinning things and bit by bit eliminating them from my daily intake.

Budding Planet says,

Here’s how you spot the difference between the two types of cinnamon

• cassia is dark, reddish brown whereas Ceylon cinnamon is light tan in color
• cassia sticks form a “double-scroll” whereas Ceylon cinnamon appears rolled like a cigar
• cassia is thick and hard whereas Ceylon cinnamon is thin and brittle

You can go here to see the images http://spices.suite101.com/article.cfm/difference_between_cassia_and_cinnamon

This is very important if you enjoy stuff like cinnamon buns, or if you have high blood pressure for example and you are on blood thinning meds.

Guess how old Rosemary is. You really would not believe. She looks so vibrant and young. And look at her skin. So gorgeous.

In fact, Rosemary Fletcher had spent 11 years confined to a wheelchair and doctors said she will never walk again. She looked at how she ate and she healed herself naturally. Thanks to her self healing journey, she went from 305 lbs to 120 lbs and now walks one mile a day.

By the way, I had a reader who emailed me and told me that he didn’t believe Rosemary is in her 50s, must be some kind of scam or something. Let me just say, she was featured in Oprah.

Did you know that a teaspoon of cinnamon has 5 times the calcium as a teaspoon of milk? And that’s just the beginning. Scientists are uncovering a lot of potential in this common spice, including the ability to help stabilize blood sugar and reduce insulin resistance.

Who would have thought that plain old cinnamon could be so good for you? In traditional medicine, cinnamon has been used for digestive ailments such as indigestion, gas and bloating, stomach upset, and diarrhoea. It has a mild anti-inflammatory effect. It also slows the spoiling of food (which is probably related to why it was used as an embalming agent in ancient Egypt), and has anti-fungal properties as well. Researchers even found that sniffing cinnamon resulted in improved brain function -– subjects did better on memory and attention tasks when taking whiffs of cinnamon as opposed to other odours or no odour. However, the potential health benefits of cinnamon that have received the most attention have to do with its effects on blood glucose and cholesterol.

Cinnamon Tea

Cinnamon tea is a great way to reap the health benefits of cinnamon. You can buy cinnamon tea but it’s quite easy to make your own with the following recipe.

Ingredients
1 cinnamon stick
1 mug of hot water

Directions
Break cinnamon stick into pieces and place in a cup. Add hot water. Cover and steep for 30 minutes. You can keep adding hot water to the cup to enjoy all day long. Use more or less cinnamon depending on the strength you prefer.

You can also place a cinnamon stick in any tea while it steeps to add flavor and health benefits.

Note: You can also add a tiny pinch of cinnamon powder into your child’s milk for the added health benefits too. It makes the drink tastes exotic, kinda like some drink you’ll buy at a fancy coffee shop.

This very interesting article below is about the use of iodine to heal the body.

As far as I can remember, my mum always has a small bottle of iodine stashed in her medicine drawer (she doesn’t believe in cabinets). Most of us don’t have iodine. Instead, we’ve got all these fancy antibiotic creams in our cabinets. Maybe it’s time to relook at this oldie but goodie healing medicine.

So anyways, speaking of store bought antibiotic creams, I find, ironically, salt works better on minor wounds to kill germs and viruses. Cheaper too..

Do go out and buy a bottle of iodine. It’s got lots of great uses. To see what it can do just google online.

By Dr. David Derry

From my own clinical experience, repeated application of iodine (Lugol’s) to the skin appears to cause regeneration of the skin from the bottom up (Quiescent, stable or stem cell) (3) eventually sloughing the old version of the skin off like a snake molting. If there was a pre-cancerous lesion on the old skin, it is replaced with new skin minus the lesion. There does not seem to be any skin lesions which are not helped or cured by this procedure. In some cases I found clinically obvious low thyroid conditions also needed to be treated to be more effective. Minor lacerations and healing of surgical wounds respond well. If skin regeneration is from the bottom, then there is little or no scar formation.

My parents’ generation tended to put tincture of iodine onto a fresh wound to prevent infection. This turns out to be helpful but not the best way to use it. Besides it stung badly when applied. It is much more effective (and doesn’t hurt) to apply iodine repeatedly after a scab has been formed. The iodine put onto the scab helps to organize total repair of the tissue. It is implied a similar approach could be taken to burns of all depths but at the same time the physiology of burns suggest there is an acute lack of thyroid hormone. (3)

All pre-malignant lesions and many other oddities of the skin appear to respond to this regeneration process triggered by topical iodine. I have mentioned previously a patient with a biopsy-proven breast cancer lesion (she refused surgery because of previous cancer treatment) that was strongly fixed to the skin responding well to topical iodine and ended up being a dimple on the breast three year later. (6)

It is my belief a water solution of iodine (like Lugol’s) is an important therapeutic agent for skin. Because of its effectiveness and the results, perhaps many skin diseases are related to local tissue areas of relative iodine deficiency. Perhaps the most graphic lesions are the “keloid” (worm) incision scars formed after surgical procedures. If the iodine intake and tissue levels are adequate, such as in Japan, keloid formation doesn’t happen (7). In addition, iodine’s ability to trigger natural cell death (apoptosis) (5) makes it effective against all pre-cancerous skin lesions and likely many cancerous lesions. The local site is replaced with normal skin. However, even lesser doses of topical iodine seem to reverse the ominous appearance of skin lesions. Because my older brother died of metastatic melanoma, my chances of getting a malignant melanoma are increased by 400 times. (8-9) Having grown up in Venezuela near the equator my sun exposure at a young age was far above normal. So all suspicious lesions I notice are returned to normal with topical Lugol’s.

One of the most famous of documentations of iodine skin therapy to a famous person occurred in the American Civil War.

“On September 29, 1862, Colonel John B. Gordon held the center of General Lee’s army at the battle of Antietam, or Sharpsburg. The first volley from the northern lines sent a ball through the calf of Gordon’s right leg; soon after, another went through the muscles of his thigh; a third pierced his left arm, tearing asunder the tendons and mangling the flesh; a forth ripped through his shoulder leaving a wad of clothing embedded in its track. Still, no bones were broken; but, while Gordon lingered in the firing line, “with”, as he says himself, “but little of my usual strength”, a fifth ball struck him squarely in the face.

Dr. Weatherly of the 6th Alabama Regiment, in charge of medical arrangements, had the Colonel removed to a base hospital, and prescribed tincture of iodine to be painted on the wounds three or four times a day. The case was unpromising. Gordon’s eyelids were greatly swollen; one eye was completely closed, the other almost so; his jaw was immovably clenched, and, to make matters worse, erysipelas (staphylococcus infection of skin) had set in on the left arm.

Mrs. Gordon, his wife, who nursed him – her name was Fanny, and she was then a beautiful girl of 25 – put a liberal interpretation on her instructions and painted the wounds, not three or four times a day, but, as Gordon himself says: “I think three to four hundred time a day.” Fanny’s diligence and devotion were rewarded. Her husband survived, outlived the war, became the Governor of Georgia, a General, and Commander-in-Chief of the United Confederate Veterans. He died in 1904.” (10)

I think Fanny knew iodine applied often was a more effective way to deliver iodine to the body especially applied on multiple sites. Likely Gordon’s iodine blood levels and tissue levels rose throughout his body. As iodine is by far the best antibiotic, antiviral and antiseptic of all time, the colonel’s body defenses were able to gain control of the infections. At the same time local repeated application to the wound sites caused the skin to grow up from its bottom where all the cells (Stem cells) that make normal skin are residing. Likely this minimized or eliminated scar formation. Thus Nyiri’s and Jannetti’s studies confirm why Fanny’s method of treatment worked so brilliantly. Some of our recent serious skin diseases such a “flesh-eating disease” should respond quickly to topical iodine treatment practiced by Fanny. Or, for another example, iodine put onto a mosquito bite would kill all bacteria and viruses at the site of the bite within 10-30 seconds making it impossible for any virus or bacteria to multiply and get started –such as in West Nile Fever. Naturally, this applies to tic bites (Lyme’s disease) as well. For many decades in the 1800s people carried around little bottles of iodine around their necks to use on all occasions. People in mosquito and tic infested areas should think of doing this again. (8) In addition, it has been forgotten vaporized iodine rapidly kills air borne viruses such as polio and SARS viruses.. Used extensively in the forties and fifties it may be of use to explore this approach again.

There has been no significant clinical research on iodine therapy or use for 40 years. (11-15) I feel it is important for research to be directed at this potentially significant area of medical treatment. It is worth noting the greatest part of significant research with iodine was done before the Medline search facilities were available. Of course, since large doses of iodine are tolerated intravenously without side effects, it has yet to be explored what help this may have for many cancer patients or even other diseases.
