nd God appeared on a mountain

And God appeared on a mountain By Jon Rappoport December 22, 2014 http://outsidetherealitymachine.wordpress.com/ On August 4, 2074, God appeared on a mountain in Colorado. For some reason, he'd failed to notify the networks, so they had to rush in drones and choppers with cameras and interrupt regularly scheduled programming and go live to the whole planet very quickly. He was tall and wide. He was wearing a white robe. His hair was wild and long and gray, and his beard was silver. The first thing he said was, "I'm from El Salvador and I need a place to stay." Then he laughed and muttered, "Joke." "But really," he continued, "you people amaze me. Why haven't you been paying attention to artists for the past ten thousand years? What's wrong with you? Sure, I created the universe and laid down all the natural laws, but that was a provisional thing. It wasn't meant to be permanent. Space, time, energy, law of conservation, the basics...that was just to give you a place to live. Ever since, though, you've been fixated on it. "The artists caught on soon enough. They began inventing their own spaces and times---ever heard of music?---but nobody took them seriously. I'm really disappointed in you. "You were supposed to realize you could create worlds of your own by the ton, with different rules, any rules, but instead these priests came along and hardened the whole deal into religions. "Whatever gave you the idea I was in favor of religions? Are you kidding? "Do you really think I want people falling on their knees worshipping me? Why? What kind of a guy do you think I am? Some bloated preposterous dictator? I'm an artist. Isn't that obvious? And that's what you should all be by now. "I've got a good mind to uncreate the whole shooting match and force you to start over from scratch on your own, but I know that wouldn't work. You'd just sit around in the void in a puddle of your own tears and whine and wonder and blather. "And I certainly don't want to watch that. The crux of the whole business is you've got free will. You can do or not do. By the way, I didn't give you free will, you always had it. It's yours. Not mine. You were all homeless vagabonds wandering around and I gave you a place to stay. But not so you could screw it up. "Long ago I told you, 'Here, a world, a hundred thousand million trillion worlds and space enough.' "I wasn't talking to you as groups or collections or races or anything like that. I was talking all at once to each one of you. I really thought you were artists. "I don't know who you thought I was. "You keep talking about me creating the universe, but it's apparent that most of you don't know what that means. You believe it means I have ALL the power. Wow. Where did you get that one from? "Talk about fairy tales. "I'm painting in my studio. I'm playing the piano. I'm writing symphonies. I'm inventing different kinds of science. That's what I do. I took a little time off a few billion years ago to make this universe, but since then I've only shown up now and then to peek in. "This planet of yours...it looks like one big hospital now. Is that what you want to do? Play doctor for the next few thousand years? Diagnose each other? Pretend all twelve billion of you are victims? Where did you get that gig from? "If you're staging one grand play on that theme, I have to tell you it's a flop. It should have closed way back when. It's a dud. That's my review. "Maybe I made it too easy for you. Invented too much space and time. Maybe I should have brought in monsters, real ones, not the ones in your heads. You know, created a threat from the outside. "Who knows? But try to get with the idea that...how can I explain it...if this universe started out as an idea in my mind, you can see it as an idea in your mind, too. It's a temporary housing project. "Yeah, I made it with symmetry and harmony and balance and repeating ratios, but that's just because I was in a hurry, so you could get out of the rain, so to speak. I used simple blueprints. "Believe me, I can do other things. "Anyway, don't get hung up on the housing project. And if you have any sense, you'll stop listening to those priests. They're petty little control freaks. "I could take you on a tour of history and show you how they grabbed on to what poets were writing and stole it and edited it and used it to found their cheap cosmologies, their religions. "But I don't have much time. I have a meeting with Vin Van Gogh---you don't think he'd come back here for another go around, do you, after what happened to him the last time? And I'm having lunch with Orson Welles. I wrote a script and he's looking it over. "Figure this whole thing out, okay? Space, time, energy, they're butter. Melt it, freeze it, eat it, drop it in soup. Make some worlds. Get with it. "Peace out."

Shocking New Discovery Makes Fish Oil Obsolete
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tab=wm#inbox/14a60533c9115d52

SPECIAL REPORT

Is Fish Oil Obsolete? Exploring Better Ways to Protect Your Heart and Brain Dear Health Conscious Reader, Fish oil has become the most popular supplement in America — and for a good reason. Hundreds of scientific studies have demonstrated that the omega-3 fats it contains are extremely effective at protecting the heart[1] and brain[2] — so effective, in fact, that even the mainstream medical establishment now stands behind it. In addition, a mountain of research has shown that omega-3s are also critical for mood balance,[3] immune strength,[4] supple joints,[5] sharp vision[6] and youthful-looking skin.[7] The list of benefits simply goes on and on. However, some cutting-edge experts now believe there is a supplement even better for you than fish oil. Is this possible? Shocking Omega-3 Discovery Makes Fish Oil Obsolete As amazing as the benefits of fish oil are, researchers have recently discovered a surprising new source of omega-3s that they claim is so much more powerful, it practically renders fish oil obsolete! But is this just the latest omega-3 fad or a true scientific breakthrough?Please keep reading and I’ll break down the facts for you. I’m Joshua Corn, Editor-in-Chief of the Live in the Now newsletter, one of the fastest growing natural health publications in the nation. Our mission is to help people take control of their health by empowering them with information and providing practical, natural health solutions. I work to uncover the truth about the safety and effectiveness of popular nutritional supplements like fish oil. As a matter of principle, I only recommend a supplement if there’s conclusive evidence that it really works. And by evidence, I mean hard science and verified case studies. And as I’ve discovered, there’s no shortage of evidence backing this new omega-3 miracle that has me putting my fish oil supplements aside. Hailing from the pristine deep blue waters of the Antarctic Ocean, clinical studies have shown that this remarkable omega-3 supplement is up to 50 times more effective than fish oil at:  Balancing cholesterol levels and boosting heart health Promoting healthy blood pressure and improving circulation Enhancing memory and brain function Boosting energy levels and fighting fatigue Promoting balanced moods and restful sleep Keeping joints flexible, lubricated and pain-free Smoothing skin and preventing wrinkles Protecting vision and hearing Fighting free radicals and promoting healthy aging ABOUT JOSHUA CORN, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Joshua Corn, Editor-in-Chief of the Live in the Now newsletter, is a health freedom advocate who’s been involved in the natural health movement for over 15 years. He’s always been dedicated to promoting health, vitality, longevity and natural living. Josh is currently writing a book on natural remedies and is gearing up to launch the Live in the Now radio show. In addition to his work in the natural health field, Josh is an avid outdoorsman, organic gardener, animal lover and enjoys “living in the now” with his wife and two sons. Are You Critically Deficient in Omega-3s? Every cell in your body requires omega-3s to function properly. Yet according to many experts, nearly all Americans are critically deficient.[8] When you lack omega-3s, you’re vulnerable to a wide range of health problems, including inflammation and joint pain, mood fluctuations, cognitive decline, vision loss, premature skin aging and heart trouble. However when you replenish your omega-3 levels, you’ll begin to notice amazing improvements in your health. But as emerging research is beginning to reveal, not all omega-3 supplements are created equal and fish oil may not be the safest or most effective way to get your omega-3s. The Dirty Little Secret About Fish Oil Supplements There’s big money in fish oil and unfortunately, many supplement manufacturers looking to capitalize on fish oil’s popularity try to pass off worthless pills that contain pathetically low levels of omega-3s. What’s worse,these pills are often filled with toxins like mercury and PCBs. In recent lab tests, Consumer Reports found that 1 in 3 fish oil supplements fell short of claims made on their labels.[9] Some of these pills even contained rancid, oxidized or heavily polluted oil. Sadly, the problems with fish oil quality are only getting worse, as the oceans become increasingly polluted.  The 4 Most Dangerous Toxins Found in Fish Oil Supplements Mercury, lead, cadmium and other heavy metals Industrial byproducts are linked to heart damage, cognitive problems and cancer[10,11] PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) A banned chemical known to cause cancer, skin disorders, liver disorders, reproductive problems and birth defects[12] DDT An extremely toxic type of dioxin that the EPA has linked to cancer and birth defects[13] Pharmaceutical drug residues A recent EPA study found residues of drugs used to treat high cholesterol, diabetes, depression and more in fish in the U.S.[14] A New Omega-3 Source That Renders Fish Oil Obsolete You may have heard about a new omega-3 supplement called krill oil that some experts, such as Dr. Oz, claim is healthier and more powerful than fish oil. Well, I’ve spent enough time in the natural health industry to know that not every trendy new supplement is worth its salt, so I set out to investigate the claims about this new discovery. It quickly became obvious to me that krill, tiny pink crustaceans that are abundant in the pristine waters surrounding Antarctica, is vastly superior to fish oil as a source of omega-3s in many ways. Here’s why: More Powerful: Krill oil contains extremely high levels of the same important omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, that fish oil provides. But unlike fish oil, krill oil also contains brain-protecting omega-3 compounds called phospholipids AND the potent antioxidant astaxanthin.[15] This combination is unique to krill oil. More Absorbable: The omega-3s found in krill oil have a chemical structure that makes them easier for your body to absorb than the omega-3s found in fish oil.[16] This means you get more DHA and EPA in every serving. Purer and Safer: Krill is harvested from the pristine icy blue waters of Antarctica, one of the cleanest marine environments in the world. Krill is also low on the food chain, so it doesn’t accumulate the toxins that fish does. As Dr. Oz put it when he featured krill oil on his TV show, taking krill oil is like “cutting out the middleman.” 20 HEALTH BENEFITS OF KRILL OIL Here’s a list of just 20 remarkable benefits of krill oil that research studies have revealed: Support for a healthy heart Improved cardio function Strong blood vessels Normal blood pressure Healthy cholesterol ratios Enhanced circulation Lower homocysteine levels Reduced inflammation Fewer aches and pains Enhanced brain function More energy Better mood balance Healthy vision Protects against hearing loss Healthy, youthful skin Glossy, healthy hair Strong, hard nails Weight loss Stronger immunity Healthy lungs So what can krill oil do for you? Here are some of the research-proven benefits. Reduce Dangerous Inflammation by 30% Unfortunately, the standard American diet is high in unhealthy fats, which can promote inflammation and damage cells throughout your body.[19] Thisinflammation is thought to be a major culprit in cardovascular issues and brain aging, and is often responsible for various "mystery symptoms," such as joint pain, fatigue, allergies and dry skin. Research shows that omega-3s found in krill oil can neutralize these unhealthy fats, keeping inflammation at bay. In addition, krill oil has been shown to be particularly effective at combating joint pain and inflammation.[20] One landmark clinical study showed that after just 14 days of krill oil supplementation, inflammation markers dropped 30%, while they rose by 32% in the placebo group.[21] In all my years in the natural health industry, I’ve never seen any supplement reduce inflammatory markers so quickly and efficiently.  Harmonize Your Cholesterol Ratios and Protect Your Heart For a healthy cardiovascular system, you need strong, pliable blood vessels, and maintaining balanced levels of LDL (bad) and HDL (good) cholesterol is vital to keeping your blood vessels healthy. The trouble starts when LDL cholesterol oxidizes, building up inside your blood vessels and arteries, causing them to harden. It turns out that there is perhaps no substance on earth more effective than krill oil at balancing LDL and HDL. In fact, one clinical study showed that just one-third of the amount of krill oil is up to 10 times more effective than fish oil at balancing cholesterol. That’s right — krill oil was shown to be up to30 times more effective! Those taking krill oil had their LDL cholesterol reduced by as much as 32% vs. 5% for fish oil, and their HDL cholesterol levels improved by up to 43% vs. 4% for fish oil. In another head-to-head study, krill oil was shown to balance triglycerides by up to 28%, compared to just 3% with fish oil![22] Nourish, Protect and Supercharge Your Brain Earlier, I mentioned that krill is rich in a type of healthy fat not found in fish oil, calledphospholipids. When you nourish your brain with phospholipids, you’re giving it the fuel it needs to function optimally.[23,24] You’llexperience better moods, more alertness, improved focus and concentration and fewer “senior moments.” A recent quality of life survey conducted on people taking either krill oil or fish oil revealed that those taking krill oil experienced a 48% improvement in mental health, compared to only a 15% improvement for fish oil.[25] Krill oil has also been shown to be extremely effective at combatting mood imbalances associated with premenstrual syndrome in women.[26] Astaxanthin: Krill Oil’s Antioxidant Edge In addition to its miraculous omega-3 benefits, krill oil is also incredibly rich in the antioxidant astaxanthin, the natural carotenoid pigment that gives krill, as well as salmon and flamingos, their rosy hues. Astaxanthin ,which is thought to be one of the most powerful antioxidants every discovered, has been hailed for its anti-aging properties. It’s been proven to help prevent wrinkles, blemishes and dryness, and even reverse years of skin damage.[27] Astaxanthin is unique in that, unlike many antioxidants, it can cross the blood-brain barrier to protect your brain and nervous system[28] and the blood-retinal barrier to protect your eyes.[29] Astaxanthin has also been shown to enhance immunity,[30]strength and endurance, making it easier to recover from exercise.[31] As an added bonus, astaxanthin acts as natural preservative for the krill oil, preventing oxidation and rancidity, giving it a longer shelf life, as well as eliminating any possible “fishy” aftertaste that you might be used to with fish oil.  Stop Wasting Your Money on Fish Oil — Make the Switch to Krill Today! I stopped taking fish oil supplements, and I’m now reaping a multitude of undeniable health benefits by taking krill oil instead. I invite you to shop around and do your research, but the krill oil supplement that I personally take and recommend is calledOceanPure® Krill Oil. In addition to my work with Live in the Now, I own a company called Stop Aging Now, which has been making premium grade dietary supplements for over 15 years. Working with my Scientific Advisory Board, I created OceanPure because I wanted to be 100% certain that I was taking the purest, most potent krill oil supplement possible. It was also important to me that it was affordable enough that everyone could enjoy the same benefits. I take OceanPure Krill Oil every single day without fail. Here’s why you should too: More Omega-3 Power: The omega-3s found in OceanPure are MUCH more absorbable than those found in fish oil, so you can take a smaller dose! Just 2 tiny softgels per day provides 600 mg of pure Antarctic krill oil, which contains concentrated levels of the omega-3s EPA and DHA, as well as brain-nourishing phospholipids. Antioxidant Protection: OceanPure contains a powerful 1,000 mcg dose of the powerful anti-aging antioxidant astaxanthin to keep you looking and feeling youthful. It also acts as a natural preservative keeping krill oil fresh and pure. No other krill oil supplement contains this potent dose. Purity: OceanPure is made with krill harvested from the pristine waters of Antarctica. You don’t have to worry about mercury or other toxins because krill are at the bottom of the food chain. OceanPure also goes through rigorous purification and safety testing to ensure its purity. Sustainability: Unlike fish and other seafood, krill are a highly renewable source. They are the largest biomass in the ocean and there is no risk of damaging the environment by over-harvesting. No Aftertaste or Other Side Effects: Many people complain about a fishy aftertaste or “repeat” effect with fish oil, but this does not occur with OceanPure Krill Oil. Also, no adverse side effects have ever been noted even at high dosages. Quality You Can Trust: OceanPure is produced in the USA to exceed the strict guidelines of the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) for quality, purity and potency in a state-of-the-art FDA inspected facility.

• Product Description
• References
• Details
• Reviews

Our raw Organic Kelp powder (also known as Rockweed or Norwegian kelp - Ascophyllum nodosum) is naturally mineral rich and can be easily included in practically any dish. Sprinkle it on entrees, soups and salads. Our organic kelp comes from the pristine and protected oceans of the North Atlantic. Sea kelp like other sea vegetables is low calories and virtually fat-free.

Sea kelp (laminaria), the most prolific sea plant on America's shores, contains algin, carrageenan, iodine, potassium, bromine, mucopolysaccharides, mannitol, alginic acid, kainic acid, laminine, histamine, zeaxanthin, protein, vitamins A, B, E, D, K, C, and is rich in minerals. Kelp proteins are comparable in quality to animal proteins. Kelp contains sodium alginate (algin), an element that may help remove radioactive particles and heavy metals from the body. Algin, carrageenan and agar are kelp gels that may rejuvenate gastrointestinal health and aid digestion. Kelp may work as a blood purifier, relieve arthritis stiffness, and promotes adrenal, pituitary and thyroid health. Its natural iodine can normalize thyroid-related disorders like overweight and lymph system congestion. It is a demulcent that helps eliminate herpes outbreaks.

One of the richest sources of minerals in the vegetable kingdom kelp, contains high amounts of calcium and phosphorous and is extremely high in magnesium, iron, iodine and sodium. Organic raw Kelp is a brown seaweed and a great natural source of Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI). Iodine is a chemical element essential for the production of thyroid hormones that regulate growth and metabolism. Diets deficient in iodine increase risk of retarded brain development in children (cretinism), mental slowness, high cholesterol, lethargy, fatigue, depression, weight gain, and goiter: a swelling of the thyroid gland in the neck. The natural Potassium iodide (KI) / Iodine from Sea Kelp / Rockweed is absorbed by your body more slowly and safely than chemical or synthetic iodine. Further Kelp / Rockweed helps promote an alkaline pH balance within the body and also boosts the immune system.

Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI), administered orally immediately after exposure to certain types of radiation, may be used to protect the thyroid from ingested radioactive iodine. But Potassium iodide (KI) would only be effective if the radiation contains radioactive iodine.

Raw organic Kelp is also excellent for aiding in systemic detoxification due to its naturally high levels of a polysaccharide called alginic acid. Scientific researchers, including a team led by Dr. Tanaka at McGill University, have demonstrated that alginic acid binds with any heavy metals found in the intestines, renders them indigestible, and causes them to be eliminated. So, heavy metals, such as barium, cadmium, lead, mercury, zinc, and even radioactive strontium, that may be present in the intestines will not be absorbed by the body when alginic acid is present. What's more, Dr. Tanaka's research has shown that the alginic acid in sea vegetables actually helps bind and draw out any similar toxins that are already stored in our bodies, thus "lowering the body's burden."

Doctors Seibin and Teruko Arasaki, Japanese scientists who have published several books about sea vegetables, also report this cleansing property of alginic acid in their book Vegetables From the Sea. They conclude, "Heavy metals taken into the human body are rendered insoluble by alginic acid in the intestines and cannot therefore be absorbed into body tissues."

Some possible traditional uses of Raw Organic Kelp Powder may include:

● Great natural source of Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI)
● Ability to scavenge chemicals, drugs, heavy metals, & radioisotopes throughout the body

Examples of some few nutritional value of Moringa- ( Gram-for-gram comparison of nutritional data)

• 2times -the Protein of Yogurt
• 3times – the Potassium of Bananas
• 4times – the Calcium of Milk
• 4times – the Vitamin A of Carrots
• 7times -the Vitamin C of Oranges

The Vitamin component of Moringa Leaves:

Moringa has Vitamin A (Beta Carotene), Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Vitamin B6 Pyrodixine), Vitamin B7 (Biotin), Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol), Vitamin E (Tocopherol) and Vitamin K.

Vitamin A (Beta Carotene), Vitamin A is a vitamin which is needed by the retina of the eye in the form of a specific metabolite, the light-absorbing molecule retinal. This molecule is absolutely necessary for both “Scotopic”scotopic and color vision. Vitamin A also functions in a very different role, as an irreversibly oxidized form retinoic acid, which is an important hormone-like growth factor for epithelial and other cells.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) helps fuel the body by converting blood sugar into energy. It keeps the mucous membranes healthy and is essential for nervous system, cardiovascular and muscular function.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is required for a wide variety of cellular processes.   Like the other B vitamins, it plays a key role in energy metabolism, and for the metabolism of fats, ketone bodies, carbohydrates, and proteins.  It is the central component of the cofactors FAD and FMN, and is therefore required by all  “Flavoprotein”flavoproteins.

Vitamin B3 (Niacin), like all B complex vitamins, are necessary for healthy skin, hair, eyes, and liver. They also help the nervous system function properly.  Niacin also helps the body make various sex and stress-related hormones in the adrenal glands and other parts of the body. Niacin is effective in improving circulation and reducing cholesterol levels in the blood.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) is required for the synthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine and for myelin formation. Pyridoxine deficiency in adults principally affects the peripheral nerves, skin, mucous membranes, and the blood cell system. In children, the central nervous system (CNS) is also affected. Deficiency can occur in people with uremia, alcoholism, cirrhosis, hyperthyroidism, malabsorption syndromes, congestive heart failure (CHF), and in those taking certain medications.

Vitamin B7 (Biotin) has vital metabolic functions. Without biotin as a co-factor, many enzymes do not work properly, and serious complications can occur, including varied diseases of the skin, intestinal tract, and nervous system. Biotin can help address high blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes, and is helpful in maintaining healthy hair and nails, decreasing insulin resistance and improving glucose tolerance, and possibly preventing birth defects. It plays a role in energy metabolism, and has been used to treat alopecia, cancer, Crohn’s disease, hair loss, Parkinson’s disease, peripheral neuropathy, Rett syndrome, seborrheic dermatitis, and vaginal candidiasis.

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)is one of the safest and most effective nutrients, experts say. It may not be the cure for the common cold (though it’s thought to help prevent more serious complications). But the benefits of vitamin C may include protection against immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, prenatal health problems, eye disease, and even skin wrinkling.

Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol)  is essential for promoting calcium absorption in the gut and maintaining adequate serum calcium and phosphate concentrations to enable normal mineralization of bone and prevent hypocalcemic tetany. It is also needed for bone growth and bone remodeling by osteoblasts and osteoclasts . Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen. Vitamin D sufficiency prevents rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. Together with calcium, vitamin D also helps protect older adults from osteoporosis.  Vitamin D has other roles in human health, including modulation of neuromuscular and immune function and reduction of inflammation.

Vitamin E describes a family of 8 antioxidants, 4 tocopherols and 4 tocotrienols. alpha-tocopherol (a-tocopherol) is the only form of vitamin E that is actively maintained in the human body and is therefore, the form of vitamin E found in the largest quantities in the blood and tissue.  Vitamin E, a fat-soluble vitamin, protects vitamin A and essential fatty acids from oxidation in the body cells and prevents breakdown of body tissues.

Vitamin K is necessary for normal clotting of blood in humans. Specifically, vitamin K is required for the liver to make factors that are necessary for blood to properly clot (coagulate), including factor II (prothrombin), factor VII (proconvertin), factor IX (thromboplastin component), and factor X (Stuart factor). Other clotting factors that depend on vitamin K are protein C, protein S, and protein Z. Deficiency of vitamin K or disturbances of liver function (for example, severe liver failure) may lead to deficiencies of clotting factors and excess bleeding.

Amino Acids:  The foundation of our body.

Our bodies need twenty different amino acids or proteins that are the building blocks for a healthy body. Nonessential amino acids are those that the body can synthesize for itself, provided there is enough nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen available. Essential amino acids are those supplied by the diet.  They must be consumed as the human body either cannot make them at all or cannot make them in sufficient quantity to meet its needs. ?Of the 20 amino acids required by our bodies, eleven of them are nonessential and nine are essential.

Functions of Amino Acids: Proteins act as enzymes , hormones , and antibodies . They maintain fluid balance and acid and base balance. They also transport substances such as oxygen, vitamins and minerals to target cells throughout the body. Structural proteins, such as collagen and keratin, are responsible for the formation of bones, teeth, hair, and the outer layer of skin and they help maintain the structure of blood vessels and other tissues.
Enzymes are proteins that facilitate chemical reactions without being changed in the process. Hormones (chemical messengers) are proteins that travel to one or more specific target tissues or organs, and many have important regulatory functions. Insulin , for example, plays a key role in regulating the amount of glucose in the blood. The body manufactures antibodies (giant protein molecules), which combat invading antigens. Antigens are usually foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses that have entered the body and could potentially be harmful. Immunoproteins, also called immunoglobulins or antibodies, defend the body from possible attack by these invaders by binding to the antigens and inactivating them.

If these critical components for a healthy body are not provided as part of a healthy diet, the body will look for other sources for them.  This can include breakdown of our organs, leading to chronic problems such as liver and kidney problems, diabetes and heart disease among others.

MORINGA AS FOOD Moringa is considered a complete food as it contains all of the essential Amino Acids required for a healthy body.  The dried leaf is a nutritional powerhouse and contains all of the following Amino Acids.

ISOLEUCINE builds proteins and enzymes and it provides ingredients used to create other essential biochemical components in the body, some of which promote energy and stimulate the brain to maintain a state of alertness.

LEUCINE works with isoleucine to build proteins and enzymes which enhance the body’s energy and alertness.

LYSINE ensures your body absorbs the right amount of calcium. It also helps form collagen used in bone cartilage and connective tissues. In addition, lysine aids in the production of antibodies, hormones, and enzymes. Recent studies have shown lysine improves the balance of nutrients that reduce viral growth.

METHIONINE primarily supplies sulfur to your body. It is known to prevent hair,

skin, and nail problems while lowering cholesterol levels as it increases the liver’s production of lecithin. Methionine reduces liver fat and protects the kidneys, which reduces bladder irritation.

PHENYLALAINE produces the chemical needed to transmit signals between nerve cells and the brain. It can help with concentration and alertness, reduce hunger pains and improve memory and mood.

THREONINE is an important part of collagen, elastin, and enamel proteins.  It assists metabolism and helps prevent fat build-up in the liver while boosting the body’s digestive and intestinal tracts.

TRYPTOPHAN supports the immune system, alleviates insomnia, reduces anxiety, depression, and the symptoms of migraine headaches. It also is beneficial in decreasing the risk of artery and heart spasms as it works with lysine to reduce cholesterol levels.

VALINE is important in promoting a sharp mind, coordinated muscles, and a calm mood.

Non-essential amino acids in Moringa

ALANINE is important for energy in muscle tissue, brain, and central nervous system. It strengthens the immune system by producing antibodies. Alanine also helps in the healthy metabolism of sugars and organic acids in the body.
ARGININE causes the release of the growth hormones considered crucial for optimal muscle growth and tissue repair. It also improves immune responses to bacteria, viruses, and tumor cells while promoting the healing of the body’s wounds.

ASPARTIC ACID helps rid the body of ammonia created by cellular waste. When the ammonia enters the circulatory system it can act as a highly toxic substance which can damage the central nervous system. Recent studies have also shown that aspartic acid may decrease fatigue and increase endurance.

CYSTINE functions as an antioxidant and is a powerful aid to the body in protecting against radiation and pollution. It can help slow the aging process, deactivate free radicals, and neutralize toxins. It also aids in protein synthesis and presents cellular change. It is necessary for the formation of new skin cells, which aids in the recovery from burns and surgical operations.

GLUTAMIC ACID is food for the brain. It improves mental capacities, helps speed the healing of ulcers, reduces fatigue, and curbs sugar cravings.

GLYCINE promotes the release of oxygen required in the cell-making process. It is also important in the manufacturing of hormones responsible for a strong immune system.

HISTIDINE is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, allergies, ulcers, and anemia. A lack of histidine may lead to poor hearing.

SERINE is important in storing glucose in the liver and muscles. Its antibodies help strengthen the body’s immune system. Plus, it synthesizes fatty acid sheaths around nerve fibers.

PROLINE is extremely important for the proper function of your joints and tendons. It also helps maintain and strengthen heart muscles.

TYROSINE transmits nerve impulses to your brain. It helps overcome depression; improves memory; increases mental alertness; plus promotes the healthy functioning of the thyroid, adrenal, and pituitary glands.

Boswellia (also known as frankincense, olibanum, or boswellia) has been used medicinally and in ceremonies since the beginning of written history.  Its modern-day claim to fame is as a potent anti-inflammatory nutrient that can prevent the destruction of your joints while improving joint mobility.  However, it is a multi talented nutrient.  A 2008 comprehensive review¹ of the literature published in the British Medical Journal found that Boswellia research was encouraging and demonstrated clinical effectiveness for a number of highly inflammatory health problems: asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, osteoarthritis, and colitis.  Newer research shows it may help rejuvenate your brain while blocking infectious gangs.

The newest study shows that boswellia can enhance the structural formation of new nerve networks².  When you consider that every neurodegenerative disease involves the destruction of these networks, including memory loss and loss of cognitive ability, the implications of this study are profound.  Several months ago an animal study showed that boswellia could offset the impaired learning and memory induced by a hypothyroid state³.  Together these studies open a new door for boswellia as a brain support nutrient.

Bacterial staph infections and fungal Candida infections occur when these common organisms for pathogenic gangs known as biofilms.  This causes them to transfer from “farmer status” into organized “warrior status.”  Disruption of biofilms is the key to combating these infections; otherwise from a medical perspective one is left with an array of toxic sledgehammers that are rapidly losing their effectiveness in society due to overuse and consequent adaption by the germ gangs.  Disrupting biofilms is akin to a negotiated peace agreement wherein warriors go back to being farmers.  A 2008 study shows that boswellia is highly effective at disrupting biofilms of staph and Candida albicans⁴ – two of the most troubling infections known to mankind.

Many pathways within your body relate to potential inflammation.  A key aspect is the health of your cell membranes and their ability to tolerate stress.  This applies to any cell membrane, whether in your joints, bones, immune cells, or cardiovascular system.  When you have higher levels of DHA (typically from fish oil) in your cell membranes then inflammation is suppressed by regulating what are called anti-inflammatory prostaglandins.  If your cell membranes lack stability or are under high stress, then they may release an omega-6 fatty acid known as arachidonic acid, which triggers the production of a variety of inflammatory signals.  One of these signals is the production of an enzyme called 5-lipoxygenase which in turn stimulates the production of highly inflammatory immune system molecules called leukotrienes.  Leukotrienes have long been for their role in asthma, allergy, and joint destruction.  However, a body of new science shows that too many of them also contribute tocardiovascular disease, cancer, and osteoporosis⁵.  This has placed on new emphasis on finding safe and effective 5-lipoxegenase inhibitors. 

One of the most potent extracts of boswellia available as a dietary supplement is a patent pending standardized extract called 5-Loxin.  Science has shown that one of the boswellic acids (Acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid or AKBA⁶) is the key to potent 5-lipooxygenase regulation.  5-Loxin is made in such a way as to standardized the extract for 30 percent AKBA, ten times more concentrated than ordinary boswellia.  5-Loxin has been studied at the gene level⁷ to prove its anti-inflammatory properties via the modulation of TNFa (which underlies the triggering of 5-lipoxygenase).  This is consistent with other studies, which also demonstrate the ability of boswellia to regulate the core inflammatory gene signal, NF-kappaB⁸.

In 1998 a 90-day double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of 5-Loxin was undertaken with 75 osteoarthritis patients (25 received 100 mg of 5-Loxin per day, 25 received 250 mg of 5-Loxin per day, and 25 controls).  Within seven days the 250 mg group had a significant reduction in joint pain.  At the end of the study, both doses of 5-Loxin conferred clinically and statistically significant improvements in pain scores and physical function scores (such as range of joint motion). 

Additional testing of the joint synovial fluid (natural joint lubricant) showed that the key enzyme that inappropriately degrades cartilage, matrix metalloproteinase-3, was significantly reduced.  This is a very well done human study proving the clinical effectiveness of 5-Loxin for joint health.
