1) THE INCREDIBLE TURMERIC BENEFITS
By Sayer Ji founder of greenmedinfo.com

There is a medicinal spice so timelessly interwoven with the origins of human culture and metabolism, so thoroughly supported by modern scientific inquiry, as to be unparalleled in its proven value to human health and well-being.

Indeed, turmeric turns the entire drug-based medical model on its head.Instead of causing far more side effects than therapeutic ones, as is the case for most patented pharmaceutical medications, turmeric possesses hundreds of potential side benefits — having been empirically demonstrated to positively modulate over 160 different physiological pathways in the mammalian body.

While no food or herb is right for everyone, and everything has the potential for unintended, adverse side effects, turmeric is truly unique in its exceptionally high margin of safety vis-à-vis the drugs it has been compared with, e.g. hydrocortisone, ibuprofen, chemotherapy agents.

Furthermore, nothing within the modern-day pharmaceutical armamentarium comes even remotely close to turmeric’s 6,000-year track record of safe use in Ayurvedic medicine.

Why Turmeric Will Likely Never Be FDA Approved

Despite its vast potential for alleviating human suffering, turmeric will likely never receive the FDA stamp of approval, due to its lack of exclusivity, patentability and therefore profitability.

Truth be told, the FDA’s “gold standard” for proving the value of a prospective medicinal substance betrays the age-old aphorism: “he who owns the gold makes the rules,” and unless an investor is willing to risk losing the 800+ million dollars that must be spent upfront, the FDA-required multi-phased double-blind, randomized clinical trials will not occur.

All The Incredible Turmeric Benefits

At GreenMedInfo.com, we have reviewed over 5,000 study abstracts from the National Library of Medicine’s bibliographic database known as MEDLINE and have discovered over 600 potential health benefits of turmeric, and/or its primary polyphenol known as curcumin.

These can be viewed on our turmeric research page which is dedicated to disseminating the research on the topic to a larger audience.

Some of the most amazing demonstrated properties of turmeric and/or curcumin include these turmeric benefits:

~ Destroying Multi-Drug Resistant Cancer
~ Destroying Cancer Stem Cells (arguably, the root of all cancer)
~ Protecting Against Radiation-Induced Damage
~ Reducing Unhealthy Levels of Inflammation
~ Protecting Against Heavy Metal Toxicity
~ Preventing and Reversing Alzheimer’s Disease Associated Pathologies

Again, what is so amazing is not that turmeric may have value in dozens of health conditions simultaneously, or that it may improve conditions that are completely resistant to conventional treatment, but that there are over six hundred additional health conditions it may also be valuable in preventing and/or treating.

2) REDUCE STRESS BY SURROUNDING YOURSELF WITH POSITIVE ENERGY
by Elizabeth Scott, MS

Negative self-talk--the tendency to interpret things in the world in a pessimistic way and have a self-limiting inner voice--can create significant stress in your life, and exacerbate the stressful situations you already face. Negative self-talk and negative energy can affect you in many ways that may not be obvious, and even extend to those you come in contact with if you're in a bad mood. Here are some of the more insidious effects of negative self-talk:

Increased Perception of Stress: When your inner dialogue is more negative, it can actually exacerbate your perception of what you face, making something that may merely be annoying feel "unmanageable," or something that's semi-stressful feel like "a nightmare." When the language in your inner dialogue is more strongly negative, your experience becomes more intensely negative.

Pessimistic Thinking: When your inner voice is more negative, your whole thought process can be more negative as well. This becomes a habitual thought pattern and eventually colors the whole way you see the world and your place in it.

Self-Limitation: When you see things in a more negative way, you're less likely to seek out, or even recognize, opportunities that come across your path. This is common in those who are more pessimistic, and it can lead to less success in a variety of situations.

Because of this, developing more positive self-talk is an important way to reduce stress in your life. You can help yourself maintain a positive frame of mind—which will help with positive self-talk—by surrounding yourself with positive energy in your life. You can get that by adding the following elements to your life:

Uplifting Music

Listening to music that not only has a soothing melody but an uplifting message, can be great for developing positive self-talk. Have you ever had a song ‘stuck in your head’ for a few hours or days, the lyrics repeating themselves in your mind? If those lyrics were positive and inspirational, that would be a good thing. It’s a much better mental soundtrack to have than a running stream of complaints, criticisms or self-limiting thoughts, or even songs that had more depressing or sad lyrics. (When times get tough, I often think of Wilson Phillips’ classic, “Hold On”, but there are dozens of good ones out there.) There are other benefits to music for stress relief, so this is a great strategy to keep in mind.

Inspirational Books

Books on strength, personal power, enlightenment, or self-help can be good resources to help you change your outlook and the things you say to yourself. Rather than triggering habitual self-defeating thoughts, you can find yourself thinking of new can-do concepts when times get tough. (For shifting your paradigm, I love Gary Zukav’s “The Heart of the Soul”, or Sarah Ban Breathnach’s classic “Simple Abundance”.) You can also read books on general or specific aspects of stress management to change your whole relationship with stress. Here are some of my favorite books on stress management, including my own.

Positive People

One of the most important ways you can get (and keep) positive energy in your life is with the company you keep. Do your friends uplift you, or bring you down? Are they critical, or complementary? Ideal friendships provide support when you’re down, fun when you’re up, wisdom when you’re lost, and positive regard. Good friends can inspire you to reach greater heights, and see your strengths even when you don’t always. Pay attention to how your friends make you feel, and if they’re less than supportive, start putting your energy and time toward people who are better suited to be your friend. (Read more on social support and friendships of this site.)

Practice Affirmations

Positive affirmations can subtly but pervasively change your self-talk from negative to positive. This can create a significant difference in your life in many ways. If you see things more in terms of possibilities rather than limitations--as what can be done rather than as what can't, and begin to focus more on solutions than on problems, and this can lower your stress levels by helping you feel more in-control. See this article for some creative ways to begin working positive affirmations into your life.

Practice the Loving-Kindness Meditation

This type of meditation is not only simple to practice, but can increase your feelings of compassion, your capacity for forgiveness, and your sense of connection with others. It also can increase your self-acceptance, which can relieve stress in itself. This activity also brings general benefits of meditation, so it's definitely worth doing. It involves focusing positive feelings first toward yourself, then expanding them to those you care about the most, then friends and acquaintances, then those in your community, your country, and around the world to an ever-expanding circle of people. 

Take Charge of Your Idle Thoughts

If you spend time thinking about proactive things you can do to solve problems, you'll feel less stressed than if you spend time in rumination, focusing on the negative feelings you've had in past experiences. If you find yourself focusing mostly on the negative, gently bring your mind to what's good in your life, or at least on what can be done to move past these stressful situations once you've processed your feelings. Focusing on creating a more positive inner life can help you to feel more positive energy all around you. Maintaining a gratitude journal is another effective strategy for this--you bring positive energy to yourself by reflecting on everything that's great in your life each day, and you then have a nice record to read over later when you need an emotional pick-me-up.

3) THE LIVER CLEANSING JUICE YOU'LL CRAVE
by Dr. Edward Group

Your liver is your main detoxifying organ, and it can get bogged down from time to time depending on your diet, activity level, and environment. When an overload of toxins becomes too much for your liver to handle, toxic compounds can store within tissues and decrease your quality of health. Cleansing your liver can rev up your natural detox mechanisms.

Juice Your Way to Health

If you’re cleansing your liver, you need to provide your body with nutrition that is easy to digest. You don’t want your body to spend its energy digesting food, but you need to keep a good balance of nutrients, electrolytes, and antioxidants to provide support during the detox. Juicing is a powerful way to support the cleansing of your liver without compromising the body’s natural healing process. Here’s a potent juice cocktail you can make during the cleansing process:

Ingredients:

* 3 Organic carrots (peeled and washed)
* 1 Organic Beet (peeled and washed)
* 2 Organic Red Apples (washed and cut)
* 6 Organic Kale Leaves
* 1/2 inch of ginger root
* 1/2 organic lemon, peeled

Serving: 2-4 servings

Directions:

If you don’t have a juicer, just use a blender filled with with one to two cups of water. Place all of the ingredients in a juicer and juice or a blender and blend. If you used a juicer, make sure to stir with a spoon. If you used a blender, make sure to strain everything using a colander and then mix with a spoon.

Serve with some ice to keep it cool and enjoy! You can use mason jars to store it for later.

Why These Ingredients?

Here’s a quick overview of why we chose these liver cleansing foods for the liver cleanse juice recipe.

Beets & Carrots
Beets and carrots are extremely high in plant-flavonoids and beta-carotene (vitamin A). Eating these ingredients, along with other plant foods containing similar nutrients, can help stimulate and improve overall liver function.

Apples
High in pectin, apples hold the chemical constituents necessary for the body to cleanse and release toxins from the digestive tract. This, in turn, makes it easier for the liver to handle the toxic load during the cleansing process.

Kale
One of our most powerful allies in cleansing the liver, leafy greens such as kale can be eaten raw, cooked, or juiced. Extremely high in plant chlorophylls, greens suck up environmental toxins from the bloodstream. With their distinct ability to neutralize toxic metals, chemicals, and pesticides, these cleansing foods offer a powerful protective mechanism for the liver.

Ginger Root
Ginger has also been historically used for flatulence, constipation, bloating, and other digestive complaints. In addition to these gastro-protective effects, researchers have found ginger to be effective for stress-related ulcers.

Lemons
Citrus fruits, such as lemons, contain very high amounts of vitamin C, which aids the body in synthesizing toxic materials into substances that can be absorbed by water. Drinking freshly-squeezed lemon or lime juice in the morning helps stimulate the liver.

A Booster Shot

This juice already has the 6 of the best foods for liver health, but if you want to give an extra boost to this healthy juice, you can add a squirt of Livatrex®, Global Healing Center’s herbal liver support formula. This energetically enhanced, all-natural blend of powerful organic and wildcrafted herbs is specially formulated to support healthy liver function and detoxification. Livatrex is 100 percent GMO-free, gluten-free, vegan, and kosher.
