New Researches About Ageing, Weight and Hairs

I found some interesting notices that tell about the results of the medical researches. I want to list them here.

One of them is about the ageing of the body.

Scientists discovered that our cells have natural limits of the number of divisions that is 50. After that, the cells begin to contaminate, disturb other cells. The researchers decided to clean the bodies of the mice from those old cells -and the mice remained in better form than those who did not have this treatment.

Now, they want to know if this cleaning can provoke deseases like cancer etc.

My personal doubt is this: why the nature choosed this strange precise number? Why 50 and not 49 or 52,  for example? Do the numbers, invented by humans, are valid for the Universe?

Second interesting discovery is about the weight and obesity.

The scientists are sure now different elements like plastic etc can influence the weight of the persons. Toxic substances of different sources we are in contact affect microbes that live in our intestine. Did you know that we have much more microbes in the intestine that all the sum of the cells that compose our body? The microbes practically control all the functions of our organisms.And, in this sence, weight, insuline, etc etc. But these microbs can be damaged by the chemical substances we are in contact with. Scientists found more than 30 toxins in the intestine of the obese persons.

It's known that some microbs of our intestine can change medicines we assume so that they become more toxic. And this s the next task for the researchers -to discover how the microbs of the intestine can interact with the pollute elements we have around us.

Finally, the third report was about the color of the hairs.

One Japanese scientist found different metals in the hairs of different colors. So, iron, cooper and nickel are in the hairs of all colors. More nickel -light hair, more cooper -black hair, more iron and molybdenum -broun hair. What is interesting, Japanese researchers says, grey hairs contain only nickel.

Drive Public Awareness About Skin Disease

I received a press release from October 25, 2011 about American Skin Association. It's not about the alternative medicine but this blog is here to spread the important information about the organizations that help us to remain healthy and to cure different problems, too. That is why I think this can be useful to some of my readers.

American Skin Association was founded by Dr. George W. Hambrick, a leader in the field of dermatology.  The organization's achievements include:

• Supporting the work of over 133 exceptional young scientists with the vision, drive and dedication to find new and innovative new ways to prevent, detect and treat skin disease.

• Committing $7.7 million to advance dermatological research - the key to earlier diagnosis, less invasive therapies and, in time, prevention and cure.

• Providing free instruction in sun safety and skin health to 12 million children, teachers & parents through award-winning, national public school programs, such as The Wonders of Skin: Looking Good, Being Healthy and ASA's newest initiative for pre-teens and young teens - The Skin You're In.

• Establishing a model laboratory at Weill Cornell Medical College, which today remains one of the finest research facilities of its kind.

• Helping Americans to better understand the often devastating impact of skin disease and the skin's irreplaceable role in good health through a free hotline, publications and a Web site developed with The Rockefeller University.

• Urging government leaders to support increased funding for research, which is today among the National Institutes of Health's lowest priorities.

Do You Like Nordic Walking?

Walking is my favourite sport. I walk when I can, and can tell you with certain honour, that I can walk even better than the young tourists that come to visit Vesuvius and Pompei and ask me to be their guide. The excursion is relatively difficult. It will be enough maybe if I tell you that the visitable (excavated) area of Pompei is 44 ha and the houses to visit are situated here and there. If you add Vesuvius to this walk -not very long trait to claimb but... it's hard enough, too.

So, I laughed when I found this video about the "nordic walking". I had a blogger-friend from Norway once, I remembered him: he would laugh with me watching this video, surely.  It's a Polish version of Chinese fitness Qigong and not "nordic" :-))), don't you think?

Thoughts about Prostate Cancer

What are the most frequent cancer types?
According to the National Cancer Institute, the most frequent is Prostate Cancer. The second has to be Breast Cancer. If you do not read the sites and do not look at the lists, you can notice that these numbers are correct because people speak about THESE types of cancer that happen to their relatives and friends more frequently -even if it's so easy to control the state of own health to prevent them, today.

About a week ago, my friend wrote me about her mother that began to claim pain in the breast. When she was operated, they found cancer in the state that is unpossible to cure. WHY did she not control her breast when every mass media crys about this possibility just for years?

A cousin came to visit my husband today and told him that he, knowing that there are different cases of prostate cancer in the family, goes for controls every year now (he is about 55). Prostate cancer is so easy to diagnose when it is at the beginning! Why do not control it after 45 years?

I asked different friends if they control their health regularly. Do you know what they said me? They have not time for it. They have not time to cure themselves if they will find something. They prefere to die suddenly.
These are the results of my "survey".

We live in the modern society. There is not a shame to check the health. Everybody knows that there are breasts and there are prostates. Death from Cancer is terrible. Only animals have the fortune to be put down. Humans have to live all the terrible pains till the end. Why we do not think about it BEFORE it's too late?

Purifying Treatment -Herb Tea

Purifying treatments are very useful to clean our inner organs from "limestones". I know that stones in different organs are very frequent problem and the reason why the organs are removed. Virtually, there is not an older person -from the age 60-65- that did not have these pains. I do purifying cure 2 times a year, normally, in spring and in autumn. With the hope that we will avoid this illness. I make herb tea with

dandelion

Artichoke

birch

milk thistle (Silybum marianum)

The preparation is very simple . I take a earthenware pot where I boil water (you have not touch the infuse with the metal objects). In this case you see pieces of Lapacho in the pot because, as I said in my previous posts, I decided to continue with Lapacho.



A special mug is useful but not necessary. I put a spoon of the herbs (mixed) in it and cover them with boiled water.





Because the herbs are very nourishing, it's better to drink the infusion in the morning and reduce the quantity of sugars in the diet.

September: Continue with Lapacho

This year, I wrote different times about our attempts to use Lapacho to strengthen health (Useful to Prevent, Delay, or Treat Cancer -Lapacho). Specially, because we are not too young more, and the deseases of the age do not bypass our house.

Sommer finished for me 2 weeks before the end of August. I noticed that my nails became thin and fragile. The action of Lapacho finished, probably. I do not know why is it every year for me: nails and hairs suffer incredibly the change of the seasons.

I do not know, if I'm right, but I read in the books about the Eastern medicines (Ayurveda etc) that it's better to avoid to use herbs till September, 15 for health improvement. So, I respect this rule and wait for this date every year.

Now, what I want to do this year? I want to prepare the cleaning herbs (artichoke, birch, dandelion, milk thistle) and will add Lapacho to this mix. Not so much as I did in spring. I'm very afraid that I'll begin to add weight once more. I'll use only a very little quantity: only a pinch.
And will write about the results here, clear.

There is No Buddha Outside Of the Mind

Sound healing is a very powerful technique to relax, to find a balance in the own life. The posts of this blog are often dedicated to the sounds and their use for meditation. I found 2 interesting videos with mantras today. these sounds were studied for centuries and maybe for millenniums to touch the most deep and important strings of our soouls. There are only 2 monasteries teaching this kind of singing as I know.

In any case you will enjoy the holy silence and majestic beauty of excellent film about Himalayas
