"The Lord has taught us that great efficacy for healing lies in a proper use of water. These treatments should be given skillfully. We have been instructed that in our treatment of the sick we should discard the use of drugs. There are simple herbs that can be used for the recovery of the sick, whose effect upon the system is very different from that of those drugs that poison the blood and endanger life." |

Herbal Remedies For the Flu
"Among the herbs that have already been found to inhibit viruses, including the flu, are Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus). Also packing an antiviral punch are Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis), Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis), Peppermint (Mentha piperita) and Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia). All of these herbs also foil bacteria responsible for infections of the throat, lungs, sinuses, ears and eyes that often tag on the heels of a cold or flu. In addition, they relax coughing spasms, aid digestion, and lower a fever by encouraging circulation and sweating. Tannin compounds found in other herbs such as White Oak bark (Quercus alba) and Bayberry (Myrica cerifera) destroy flu and other types of viruses, so it's no wonder they are traditional cold and flu treatments. You can even eat your way to good health by seasoning your food with Garlic (Allium sativum), Thyme (Thymus vulgaris), Marjoram (Origanum majorana), Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) and Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) to eradicate viral and bacterial infections. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is not only antiviral, it also lowers fevers and reduces muscle soreness."

"In May of 2011, the IARC - International Association for Research on Cancer declared Radio Frequency radiation as a possible cause of cancer. In this video you will listen to excerpts from the press conference and the related microwave Radio Frequency radiation emitted by cell phones and cell towers. You will then be able to determine for yourself that living close to cell towers might be a possible risk to your health."

Warning: Don't Use Cell Phone In Your Car!
"Using a cell phone or any wireless device while driving (or while in a train, bus or plane) uses more power because the phone must continually be reconnecting with antennas. Also, the signal is reflected by the metal around you, so your exposure inside is higher than it is outside." Dr. Magda Havas
|
Belo Horizonte is the third largest city in Brazil. In 2011, a 10 year study on cell phone antennas was released by the Municipal Health Department and several local universities. The study found a greater risk for cancer if you lived within 500 meters of a cell phone antenna or tower. Shortly after this study was published, the city prosecutor sued several cell phone companies and requested almost half of the cities antenna to be removed. In this video you will see the details of the investigation.

What You Can Do
"While minimizing your EMF exposure should be your top priority, besides shielding yourself you should also improve your body’s resistance, Havas said. “You should build up your immune system with whatever your particular body requires. Detoxifying your body is also essential, such as getting rid of any mercury amalgam fillings, and toxic food or occupational exposure. Much like pesticides, RFs are neurotoxic.’’ Dr. Magda Havas

Mental Stress
"Prolonged mental activity if unrelieved by physical exercise can result in stress. Since the general direction of electrical currents of thoughts in the brain is on a horizontal plane, simplistically speaking, and the general direction of electrical impulses coming up from the muscles in physical exercise is in a vertical plane, the horizontal electrical impulses are interrupted by the vertical, relieving the stress produced by long periods of thought. To increase one's physical exercise decreases the wear and tear on the circuits of the brain brought about by dwelling on any subject. Worrying tends to injure the mind when it is long continued to the exclusion of other electrical activity of the brain."

Cause of Death in Past Century
"In 1900, the top three causes of death in the United States were pneumonia/influenza, tuberculosis, and diarrhea/enteritis. Communicable diseases accounted for about 60 percent of all deaths. In 1900, heart disease and cancer were ranked number four and eight respectively. Since the 1940s, the majority of deaths in the United States have resulted from heart disease, cancer, and other degenerative diseases. And, by the late 1990s, degenerative diseases accounted for more than 60 percent of all deaths."
Source: National Center for Health Statistics, National Office of Vital Statistics, 1947 for the year 1900 (page 67), for the year 1938 (page 55). |
Ten Days of Trial
It is interesting to note that in the Biblical story of Daniel and his 3 fellow captives in Babylon (Daniel 1:11-15), a ten day dietary trial of pulse & water was requested by Daniel, which resulted in the observation that they “appeared fairer and fatter in flesh” than the others who ate of the King’s meat.
There seems to be a correlation between making dietary & lifestyle changes and the results that follow within 10 days.

The law requires household light bulbs that use between 40 and 100 watts of electricity to be about 25% more efficient. It does not ban the use or purchase of incandescent bulbs or mandate the use of compact fluorescent ones. Many bulbs are exempt from the new standards, including specialty bulbs, three-way bulbs, chandelier bulbs, and refrigerator bulbs." Senator Kay R.Hagan, March 15, 2013

StrokesDr. Thrash discusses the causes of a stroke and it's natural prevention and treatment.
Click on the downloadable file below.
| ||
Risk Factors For Stroke
The most common causes of strokes are arteriosclerosis (thickening of living arteries) and high blood pressure (hypertension), or both.
Other risk factors are:
Old age
Smoking
A recent heart attack
Elevated blood fats (hyperlipidemia)
Diabetes mellitus
Blood platelet stickiness associated with raised levels of red cells (polycythemia) or low levels of nutrients that prevent stickiness such as vitamin B6
Irregular heart beats (especially atrial fibrillation)
Oral contraceptives in women under fifty years of age
History of a damaged heart valve. Dr. Agatha Thrash

Irregular heart beats (especially atrial fibrillation)
Oral contraceptives in women under fifty years of age
History of a damaged heart valve. Dr. Agatha Thrash
Symptoms of a Stroke
"Stroke symptoms may develop within a few minutes to over several days. Symptoms are loss and or impairment of movement, sensation, and specific functions controlled by the part of the brain that is damaged. For example, damage to the speech center of the brain results in loss or slowing of speech. Also associated are headaches, dizziness, confusion, difficulty swallowing, and visual problems...
Although strokes tend to occur very suddenly, they usually have some kind of warning signs. Transient ischemic attacks (TIA) are like small reversible strokes. They cause similar signs of confusion, difficulty speaking, dizziness or visual problems, but disappear again within minutes to hours." Dr. Agatha Thrash |
Causes of Stroke
Animal fat is a major cause of strokes. Eliminating saturated fats, red meat, eggs, ice cream, fried foods, gravies, and processed foods, such as margarine, butter, or cooking oils, will drastically reduce the risk of strokes. These fats plug arteries, which restricts circulation and destroys brain cells due to lack of oxygen. Dr. Agatha Thrash
|
Herbal Remedies for Stroke Recovery
The silica in horsetail maintains the elastic connective tissue of the arteries. It prevents the deposition of harmful lipids in the arteries. Take 1 cup of horsetail tea or 1 tablespoon of horsetail juice three times daily.
Ginko biloba tea increases blood flow to the brain. Drink 2 cups daily. Dr. Agatha Thrash

Defense Against Colds & Flu
It's cold & flu season again. Here's a tip to keep you from catching that bug:
"Upon feeling the first symptom of discomfort signaling the onset of a cold or flu, begin drinking lots of water. Take one glassful every ten minutes for one hour. Again, this simple measure may help to prevent your taking the cold, by merely diluting the fluid bathing the cells of your respiratory tree, and making it less possible for a virus to infect your cells. The water can also expand your blood volume, bringing more blood to a greater number of capillaries in your nose and throat." Dr. Agatha Thrash 
|
Strengthen Your Immune System
Here's a few things you can use to strengthen your immune system this winter:
Echinacea and chaparral - Echinacea strengthens the immune system and chaparral is an antibiotic. Pau d’Arco, blue violet and red clover. These herbs strengthen the immune system and cleanse the blood. Licorice tea also boosts immunity. (Do not use sweeteners in your teas) Dr. Agatha Thrash CAUTION: Before using an herbal remedy, it is best to first check with your doctor, especially if you are using medications. Properly educate yourself about the herb before using it. A great website for education on various herbs is Medline Plus (information from the U.S. National Library of Medicine). This site has a quick guide to herbal suppliments and presents studies done with specific herbs and their uses, side effects, and dosage use. |

CheeseDr. Agatha Thrash shares counsel on the dangers of cheese consumption. Click on the downloadable files below.
| ||||||
A summary of the objectionable features of hard or ripened cheeses includes the following:
"The putrefactive process results in the production of amines, ammonia, irritating fatty acids (butyric, caproic, caprylic, etc.). The carbohydrate is converted to lactic acid. These are all waste products which cause irritation to the nerves and gastrointestinal tract.
Migraine headaches can be caused by tyramine, one of the toxic amines produced in cheese.
Certain of the amines can interact with the nitrates present in the stomach to form nitrosamine, a cancer producing agent.
Intolerance to lactose, the chief carbohydrate of cheese and milk, is probably the most common food sensitivity in America.
Rennet is used in the curdling of milk for cheese making. The rennet for the curdling process in cheese-making is commonly obtained from calves’ stomachs. A combination of rennin and pepsin is sometimes used, or plant enzymes derived from fungus. The pepsin is obtained principally from fresh hog stomachs."

Rice Replacement Foods for Diabetics
If you are a rice lover and diabetic but trying to control your blood sugar by diet change, then you know how frustrating it is to do without a huge staple-rice. But rice is a high glycemic index food, resulting in a quick spike in your blood sugar. Fortunately, a couple of foods serve as a great replacement for rice, Quinoa, a seed, when cooked, makes a fluffy, grain-like dish that may be used in the same way one would use rice, without the blood sugar spike.
Califlower, when processed raw, into "rice" sized pieces and then lightly steamed or cooked, also serves well as a rice replacement.
See following video tips for how to cook both dishes successfully.
