Something To Think About
============================

"To restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the Bastile of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic...and have no place in a republic... The Constitution of the Republic should make special provisions for medical freedom as well as religious freedom."

~ Benjamin Rush, M.D. the only physician who signed the original Declaration of Independence of the United States of America

It turns out the Europeans have the right idea after all.

An afternoon nap will work wonders -- and it won't reset your internal clock.

That's the word from the American Journal Of Physiology, which reported on a study by the department of medicine of the University of Chicago on the effects of different nap times on your internal clock.

If you take your nap in the morning, say around 9 a.m., you'll set your internal clock back by a phase.

If you take an evening nap, around 7 p.m., you'll be setting your internal clock one phase ahead.

And as for afternoon naps -- at about 2 p.m. -- they just feel good.

A weepy, smelly food that is probably the most consumed of any vegetable!

Bad breathe or just the food you ate?

The food this week is the ever popular and most consumed vegetable, the onion. Comes in many sizes, shapes and colors along with a second hand odoriferous offensive smell! "It's not good for your friends, but it is good for your health," said the lead researcher, Dr. Rui Hai Liu, a chemist in The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry department of food science.

The bulbous onion and its numerous relatives belong to a flower family namely the Lily family. How can something so smelly come from a flower family? I don't have the answer but that is a good question! Nature is a mystery in a lot of areas and this is one of those!

Some of these alliums are distinctly ornamental; a few others, notably garlic, leek, Welsh onion, and chive, are common vegetables. All of the edible forms have related flavors and odors that are due principally to a volatile, irritating substance.

The word "onion" comes from the Middle English unyun, from the French oignon, which came in turn from the Latin unio, meaning "onion." Ancient names for this plant in Sanskrit, Hebrew, Greek, and Latin are apparently unrelated, indicating widespread culture of onions from prehistoric times.

Onions can be divided into two categories: spring/summer fresh onions and fall/winter storage onions.

Spring/summer fresh onions are available in yellow, red and white throughout their season, March through August. Fresh onions can be identified by their thin, light-colored skins. Because they have a higher water content, they are typically sweeter and milder than storage onions. This higher water content also makes them more susceptible to bruising.

With their delicate taste, fresh onions are an ideal choice for salads and other fresh and lightly-cooked dishes.

Fall/winter storage onions are available August through April. Also available in yellow, red, purple and white, storage onions have multiple layers of thick, dark, papery skins. Storage onions have an intense flavor and a higher percentage of solids.

Storage onions are the best choice for savory dishes that require longer cooking times or more flavor.

Onions are low in calories yet add abundant flavor to a wide variety of foods. Averaging about 30 calories per serving, onions are sodium, fat, and cholesterol free, and provide dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium, and other key nutrients.

Mild sweet onions varieties are:

Spanish onions: known for their mild and delicately sweet flavor.
Bermuda onions: another category of mild onions that come in red, white, or yellow.
Walla-Walla Sweet onions: originally came from Corsica at the beginning of the 20th century and arrived in Walla-Walla, Washington where they are grown today.
Texas Sweets: available mid spring through early summer.

Research shows that onions may help guard against many chronic diseases. That's probably because onions contain generous amounts of a flavonoid called quercetin. Other sources are tea and apples, but research shows that absorption of quercetin from onions is twice that from tea and more than three times that from apples. Studies have shown that quercetin protects against cataracts, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.

In addition, onions contain a variety of other naturally occurring chemicals known as organosulfur compounds that have been linked to lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

In Chinese medicine, globe onions (allium cepa) are said to calm the liver, moisten the intestines, and benefit the lungs. Raw onions are prescribed for constipation, for lowering high blood pressure, and for healing wounds or ulcers of the skin. Spring onions, or scallions (allium fistulosum), are used to induce sweating. One application for the common cold is to take 20 spring onions and simmer them with rice to make porridge. Add a little vinegar and eat while it is warm. Then wrap yourself up in blankets to induce sweating. Works like a charm, but is it the onion rice soup or the sweating?

Some health studies have shown raw onions to be effective in lowering overall cholesterol while raising HDLs, the good cholesterol. Additionally, onions kill infectious bacteria, a help in controlling blood sugar, aid in dissolving blood clots, and help to prevent cancer.

Onions were used extensively by the ancient Egyptians, as shown by drawings and inscriptions on their monuments. The Bible states that during the wanderings of the Israelites in the wilderness, they longed for the onions, leeks, and garlic they had had in Egypt.

In the first century many varieties of onion were known: long, round, red, yellow, white, strong, and mild kinds. For a time in the Middle Ages it appears that the onion was less popular than leek and garlic, while now the reverse is true.

The onion was introduced by the Spanish into the West Indies soon after their discovery. From there it soon spread to all parts of the Americas. Onions were grown by the earliest colonists and soon afterward by the Indians.

The Welsh onion - A. fistulosum - never forms a rounded bulb-only one to several long white scallions. This form is most popular in the Orient, but is grown almost everywhere. In Japan it is often incorrectly called "Japanese leek."

One form of onion, the so-called Egyptian tree onion, or top onion, produces "sets" - tiny bulbs - at the top of the stalk instead of flowers and seeds.

The leek - A. porrum- like the Welsh onion, forms only a cylindrical instead of a rounded bulb. The leaf of the leek, however, is flattened and solid, while the leaf of the onion is cylindrical and hollow.

In the first century the Romans considered that the best leeks came from Egypt, where they had been known in earliest Biblical times. The Emperor Nero is reported to have been nicknamed Porrophagus because of his inordinate appetite for leeks. He imagined that frequent eating of leeks improved his voice! He could have right!

In the 6th century the Welsh won a victory over the Saxons and attributed their success to the leeks they wore to distinguish themselves in battle. What a smelly fight that must have been!

"Know your onions" was a term coined in the 1920s to indicate that the many varieties of onions that were cultivated over the years never acquired standardized names from one locale to another.

Leeks have been common all over Europe for as long as we have records of food plants. In America, by 1775, they were cultivated by the Indians as well as the colonists.

Chive - A. schoenoprasum - is an Old World plant now found wild in modern Italy and Greece. It is believed to be native to the eastern Mediterranean. The word "chive" is an Old French form of the French cive, derived from the Latin cepa, meaning "onion." Grown for hundreds of years in European gardens and in the British Isles.

The chive has beautiful blue flowers, but they produce no seed. It is propagated by planting the bulbs, which increase in number each year, forming dense clumps.

You can see that onions are not common and many types exist for our eating pleasure!

Onions add flavor to all types of foods while adding healthy nutrients. Eat and enjoy!

This is not a new article but weekly I continue to hear remarks of "I am taking a supplement now I am worse than when I started. What do I do?" Same question same answer!

When Worse Is Really Better!
© Lena Sanchez

From time to time I receive a call or email from someone who has started an herbal treatment for whatever their problem, and they are ready to take my head off because it made them feel worse, so they stopped the supplement. A BIG misconception on their part, but understandable.

When chemotherapy, radiation or some prescription drugs are initially utilized a person gets very ill and at the very door to death in most instances, but this is accepted as good and necessary in the traditional world of medicine

Never mind that about 40 percent of people who get chemotherapy die from the treatment first before the cancer can kill them. Known by the oncology world; that same chemotherapy treatment is found to be effective in only 20% of people and both facts are known to oncologists and the drug company who manufactures the drugs and either ignore or accept it as collateral damage.

Yet, when an alternative health treatment is begun some people seem to get worse and most of you will stop them immediately thinking that's bad? Congratulations, you just accepted what the traditional medical world has
brain washed you into believing about herbs! Why is it okay for cut/burn/poison treatments to put you at deaths door or through that door and be okay? Because you've been educated to believe it's okay, nothing more nothing less!

Over centuries of using herbal and nutritional treatments a known fact exists in the alternative practitioners world, 80% of people who consume them will have positive outcomes! Yet in the traditional medical world they only have to be effective in 20% of the tests to be released for use and prescribed by the medical profession. What's wrong with that picture?

Herbs are God's gift to us! 70 plus years ago the body's chemical balance existed because our earth and foods contained them. Medicine was herbs! Neither now exists!

Herbs will work with your body to correct imbalances and health problems but it will take time. Healing isn't immediate as the body takes time to balance out and the organs to begin working as they should to bring about that healing. You can feel worse when that begins to happen!

There is an exception to that, but it's not an herb. Studies over the last few years found that more than 640 bacterial, viral or fungal infections immediately respond to Ionic Silver Water treatment but isn't to be taken daily as herbs can be!

Those who persevere with herbal or mineral protocols find themselves healthier and stay that way giving them quality of life. The same cannot be said with chemical treatments or surgery.

Cancer, heart disease and multitudes of illnesses are rampant throughout the world today and growing. Most, if not all could be eliminated if people would only accept that worse is better and stick with herbs and nutritional medicine?

Those illnesses and diseases are only rampant due to a lack of proper nutrients in our foods. That makes it imperative that we ALL supplement daily with balanced nutrients. Yet when some begin that supplementation they feel worse for a while.

So when you start the path to a healthy body with natural healers know that feeling worse is good! The body is telling you that you really need those
nutrients.

People, who have taken some less than the total 84 minerals required by our body, or not so mega-vitamins, even if they aren't complete and balanced, will not experience the worsening effect to the same degree someone who has never taken vitamins or minerals will?

To get your body into an illness and disease fighting mode you should supplement with a complete liquid mineral complex and mega vitamins! Two very simple additions to life, yet forsaken early on when a person either doesn't notice a difference or feels worse. If an illness or disease exists it will take more than just those two supplements to correct or repair the problem. I suggest no less than six weeks and as much as three months before the body begins working at its ability, after you begin balanced supplementing?

If you would like more information on herbal healing with your particular problem from a naturopath/herbologist simply mailto:health@antibiotic-alternatives.com?subject=HealthEval and let us know your problem.

Just remember worse may actually mean better!
