The mind fades into the silence, silence reveals our true identity without limitation.

In the silence we must accept ourselves as we truly are, because all searching has ceased and we are confronted with the great mystery. It all ends where it all began and we are overwhelmed by the realization of this truth in being.

A promising new study published in Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry titled, “Dietary Curcumin Ameliorates Aging-Related Cerebrovascular Dysfunction through the AMPK/Uncoupling Protein 2 Pathway,”[i] reveals the primary polyphenol in turmeric known as curcumin (which gives it its golden hue) may provide what the study authors describe as an “effective therapeutic strategy to reverse age-related cerebrovascular dysfunction.”

Age-related cerebrovascular dysfunction is occurring on an epidemic scale in Western countries and include, “stroke, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases.” Presently, very few if any conventional medical interventions are capable of providing effective solutions, and none have been found to reverse underlying pathologies in conditions whose trajectories are generally characterized as ‘incurable.’ All the more reason why the new study holds so much promise in providing an evidence-based natural solution that is safe, effective, affordable and easily accessible as a familiar food ingredient.

If you currently don’t use much coconut oil in your cooking, here are a list of benefits that will likely make you want to start. All oils are not created equally, and many of them are not beneficial to the body. But others, like olive oil have been shown to add extra health benefits. Coconut oil is the same way, with plenty of side benefits to taking it that make it a top contender to be the number one oil in your kitchen.

Diseases and Conditions

Prevents Cancer – This is probably the biggest reason to use coconut oil instead of other less healthy oils. Promising experiments with rats show that those given coconut oil were less likely to develop tumors and more able to fight off cancer cells that were intentionally injected into them. While the correlation between rats and humans is debatable, it’s a good idea to play it on the safe side and simply buy coconut oil next time you’re out.

 

Dementia, specifically in the form of Alzheimer's, is projected to be on a significant rise in the next 20 years. Still, we only have a very rudimentary understanding of the disease, how it spreads throughout the brain, and the possible causes and origins behind it. Recent research, however, suggests a strong connection between prolonged stressors in life and the onset of Alzheimer's.
Previous evidence has firmly established that the same risk factors for heart disease -- high blood pressure, diabetes, excess weight, high cholesterol and lack of exercise -- may play a role in Alzheimer's.

Chronic Stress A growing body of research in recent years suggests that chronic stress could be a significant trigger for many types of dementia, from mild cognitive impairment, to complete dementia. Chronic stress is consistently showing up as a major factor in the development of Alzheimer's disease. Such a stressor could result from a major life change, such as a ongoing illness, injury, or major surgery.

(NaturalNews) Cilantro is far from just being an herb used for side dishes in Mexican food. Even though this herb takes on the appearance of parsley, it does not taste like it at all. With that in mind, because it looks so much like parsley, it is important to keep your herbs properly marked.
 

Cilantro is best known for how well it detoxifies the human body.

Dr. Edward Group, CEO of Global Healing Center, states that "cilantro is most often cited as being effective for toxic metal cleansing and rightfully so, this herb is a powerful, natural cleansing agent. The chemical compounds in cilantro bind to toxic metals and loosen them from the tissue." This does not mean that we should not err on the side of caution, though, and consult with our primary care physician regarding detoxing. Once toxins become mobilized, the elimination process must be quick in order to prevent physical harm.
