Here you go...SELENIUM, VITAMIN E AND MORE...
Love these tasty treats! I just bought some the other day and we are enjoying them in our organic sheep milk yogurt. Yum...eating about 3-5 a day. Today, with just a touch of natural carob syrup made right here in Israel by the Druze it was a delightful breakfast! I added a few pecans, chia seeds and Lewis Lab Lecithin (you must try it as it is the only lecithin I absolutely love to eat...with a fruity taste) and what a treat!


One of the Best SnacksPosted on July 14, 2015 by Dr. D
Call me nuts but I knew I was on the right track! Three Brazil nuts meet the vitamin E and selenium daily need…but I take selenium anyhow…it is so short in our soil and food. I mix a daily afternoon smoothie with three Brazilian nuts, a tablespoon of cashews, and a few walnuts.

Slash your risk for premature death with a simple snack switch

If I told you that making one small change to your snacking habits could literally add YEARS to your life, you’d probably call me nuts, right? But if you did you’d have to eat your words because a new study proves it’s true.

It turns out cracking open some nuts could help you add candles to your birthday cake, because according to new research people who eat nuts live longer than those who don’t.

Over the 10-year study period, nut eaters had a 23 percent lower risk of death from any cause when compared to folks who didn’t eat nuts. Remarkably, regularly eating nuts was shown to slash the risk of death from neurodegenerative disease by 45 percent, respiratory disease by 39 percent and diabetes by 30 percent.

Nuts also cut the risk of everything from heart disease to stroke to cancer, according to the study in the International Journal of Epidemiology.

If this were the first and only study of its kind, I’d call it interesting — but I’d also admit that it might be a little nutty to believe it so quickly.

But it’s far from the first.

Earlier this year, a completely unrelated study also found that a nut habit could cut the risk of a premature death by 20 percent. In 2013, a study in the New England Journal of Medicine also found that eating nuts will slash the risk of death by 20 percent.

It’s a remarkably consistent number that keeps popping up in study after study.

That said, there are of course a few catches to a healthy nut habit.

First, the newest study didn’t find a benefit for peanut butter. The researchers believe it may be because peanut butter can have added salt and vegetable oil, but I suspect the fact that it’s often eaten on white bread and with jelly also plays a role.

Second, the protections come from eating a very small amount of nuts a day about 10-15 grams, or a handful and no more. Since nuts are high in calories, it can be easy to eat too much.

And third, while eating REAL nuts pays off tossing back the honey-roasted, flavor-coated, over-salted processed nuts most people snack on will backfire on you.

Choose to snack on the real deal, and resist the temptation to overeat, and nuts are an excellent snack option that very well could add years to your life, and there’s NOTHING nutty about that.

God bless,

Dr. Mark Stengler

What is in an apricot pit? Powerful plant chemicals...so powerful that there is a big cover-up! I appreciate being able to get B17 from Pure Herbs and now it can even be used topically on key areas! Here is the site for that and read what Pure Herbs has to say about this little pit...and no pity party here: http://www.livingwellcenter.org/sto…/p340/Whole_Apricot.html

Black Cohosh for Menopause, PMS, cramps, hot flashes, headache, irritability, heart palpitations, mild depression and even helps with sleep disturbances!
Black Cohosh - We suggest the powerful Liquid form from Pure Herbs Extracts for its potency and efficacy. The cost is about one dollar per day. This is great for young teens also...just take 1/2 the dosage of an adult. It works for PMS! 

Black Cohosh Pure Herbs liquid herb has historically been used as Poison antidote, female hormone, lowers blood pressure, promotes normal hair growth, antispasmodic, sedative, support adrenal gland function, meningitis, allergic reactions and much more.

Generations of American women have relied on the gnarled root of black cohosh(Cimicifuga racemosa) to relieve various "female problems," from PMS and menstrual cramps to menopausal symptoms. An American wildflower, a member of the buttercup family, has been recommended as an alternative to standard hormone replacement therapy(HRT), which can produce unwanted side effects in many women. 

Black Cohosh is an herb that exerts its effects on the endocrine regulatory (hormonal) mechanism in your body. It's a phytoestrogen, but by definition that means it's weaker than the estrogens your body creates. Structurally, black cohosh more closely resembles estradiol, which researchers believe offers protection against cancer of the endometrium, ovaries and breast. 

That's a real conclusion from research done on menopause treatment alternatives. You can take black cohosh for menopausal symptoms and get protection against cancer at the same time. 

The most commonly used preparation is black cohosh extract. It is standardized (that's good because you know just how much of the herb you're getting each time you take a capsule) to contain 250 mg of black cohosh extract. 

Let's examine the research on how well it works for menopausal symptoms. In a study of 704 women, 49% of the women who took the black cohosh extract experienced complete relief of menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, sweating, headache, vertigo, heart palpitation, and ringing in the ears.) An additional 37.8% reported significant improvement. According to the physicians who participated in the study, 72% of the women who took black cohosh treatment experienced advantages over those given hormonal treatment (as measured by results on the Kupperman Menopausal Index and the Hamilton Anxiety test.) 

In another controlled study, of 629 women with menopausal complaints who took a standardized extract of black cohosh twice a day, 76 to 93% had an overall improvement in hot flashes, headache, irritability, heart palpitations, mild depression and sleep disturbances. The reduction in headache, sleep disturbances and heart palpitations is understandable because black cohosh also contains a small amount of salicylic acid (used to make aspirin) that has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving qualities. 

But black cohosh hasn't only been helpful for women going through natural menopause. It also helped women who had undergone hysterectomy with partial removal of their ovaries. 

Results of animal studies in Japan suggest that one variety of black cohosh may increase bone mineral density. No human studies have been done yet, but the results point in the direction of black cohosh also helping protect against osteoporosis.

How safe is this herb? More than 45 years' of use in Germany has shown no evidence of serious adverse effects, contraindications or drug interactions. The only side effect shown appeared in only 7% of the participants in one of many studies. In this case, the women experienced a short-term stomach upset, but not enough to stop taking the herb and the problem didn't continue for long. 

Another study critically evaluated the safety of black cohosh. The researchers examined all published studies, the FDA and World Health Organization adverse-event reporting systems, monographs, data from major manufacturers, and anecdotal reports. Human trials of more than 2,800 women demonstrated a very low incidence of adverse events (5.4%). Of these, 97% were minor and the only severe events weren't due to taking black cohosh at all. 

An important consideration for long-term use of black cohosh, or any substance, is its potential toxicity and cancer-causing attributes. Researchers at Northwestern Medical School found that black cohosh extracts do not demonstrate any estrogenic activity (associated with breast cancer) so in that respect black cohosh is safe. An alarm was sounded in the summer of 2003 in an Australian case report, but the findings were not sufficiently substantiated; also, a case report of one person's reactions does not provide strong evidence while a human trial of thousands of women does. 

So far, no overdose amount has been found for black cohosh in humans. In one study involving animals who were given 90 times the daily human equivalent, no negative results were found. 

Black cohosh may be a herb you may want to consider taking if you have hot flashes, vaginal pain or itching, depression, or bone loss due to natural or surgically-induced menopause. And don't forget, it also may protect against breast, ovarian and endometrial cancer. 

Cautions:
The research shows that for the majority of menopausal women taking black cohosh, it is safe and effective. 

Research Study Information: Always look at the population studied in a research report. A case study of one person is very weak evidence, while having a large group who receives the "treatment" and a control group (who doesn't get the "treatment") provides the strongest evidence and can disprove the "novelty" effect of being in a study). 

Animal participants provide much weaker correlation with human behavior, especially rats or mice who share little in common with the human species, and test tube results are only good for identifying characteristics of a substance, not for providing evidence about how it might work in humans. 

Size of the sample is also important: thousands of women provide much stronger evidence than 4 monkeys or 12 women. Who funded the study is also important: often funding sources may expect specific findings for their product and this can exert a powerful affect on outcomes. (There is always an effect on the results when the researchers collect their own data, but when money is involved, the pull is even stronger.)

Black Cohosh has an effect similar to the female hormone estrogen, which governs the menstrual cycle and declines after menopause. The herb was long used by Native Americans as a remedy for painful menstrual periods. It also has an anti-inflammatory, sedative effect. The medicinal part of the plant is the root, both fresh and dried.

Dr. Gary is right on the mark! It is worth listening to indeed if you really want to know how we get sick!
