On a salad, in a tahini hummus, or spread throughout a delicious roasted vegetable meal, sesame seeds offer a nutty depth that contrasts with other types of seeds. Not only do they taste great and are easily found for an affordable price, but these tiny seeds are also incredible for supporting bone health, longevity, and overall happiness.

In ancient Babylonian times, women believed that mixing raw honey with sesame seeds would promote youth and longevity, and Roman soldiers often ate the mixture for strength and energy. Whatever one’s motivation to consume sesame seeds (and there are many that follow), they are a super food that has endured for over 3,600 years and will continue to nourish humankind long in the future.

Onions for colds and flu by Patrice Malloy

Andrea Green's picture

Along the way in researching remedies I ran across information regarding onions being used to reduce fever and take away symptoms commonly associated with flu and colds. Onions sliced and placed in wool or cotton socks and applied to the feet. It also recommended sliced onions in a bowl by the bed. It is believed that the onions have the capacity to draw out the fever. It  really sounded too simple. I have used many natural methods for illnesses, but this one seemed to boarder on just plain weird.

I have two teenage children. There was, as always, an illness going through their high school and they came down with it. By the second day they were too sick to take anything by mouth. Anything taken
would come back up. I could not use the herbal remedies I normally use. This illness was so intense those infected were bed ridden for a week or more. I was very concerned. The exact type of onion is not mentioned in the research material. Since this is an old Native American recipe, I went with the type of onion that has been available for hundreds of years. The basic yellow onion from an organic source.

2. Garlic on my feet.
Yes, you read right. Here’s what I do: I crush a few garlic cloves, put them in a little jar or bowl, and cover it just so in olive oil.

In about a half hour, I rub the oil on my feet. I do this on my kids as well when they have a bad cough or they have a chest cold. For me, I also put the garlic pieces between my toes (but not for kids).

Then, I put socks on for the night and go to sleep. When I wake up, I have garlic breath, so I know it works! No kidding! Garlic enters your system and heads straight for the lungs.

Now, he is very healthy and cancer-free, back home working in a local health food store, consulting parents of children who are pushed into chemo and participating in medical school seminars on patient choice.

He continues to be interviewed by alternative news sites whenever a story breaks on families having to become fugitives for refusing chemo and radiation on their children. Now, he also has a book out, as told to writer Linda Conti.

Scientists Discover Anti-Cancer Effects Of Pumpkin

Greetings all! Amazing reports to share from the world of science today: Scientists in China have recently discovered that cucurmosin, a substance extracted from the sarcocarp (fleshy part) of pumpkin, had a strong inhibitory effect on hepatoma “HepG2″ (a type of liver cancer) cells in both cell culture and animal studies. [1]

Over 90% of the cancer cells were killed within 96 hours. Also, mice fed cucurmosin had 78.4% less tumors than mice that had not been treated. There have been several studies indicating that cucurmosin induces apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells, however this study went further and identified the mechanism of action. [2]
