Could the cure for cancer be as simple as sipping baking soda and molasses?
It took a lot for me to change my views on the curability of cancer, but after looking into this for along time, I realized that many of the alternative treatments worked by alkalizing the body, which facilitates oxygenation.

Baking soda shows promise for healing breast cancer



NaturalHealth365) It is an established scientific fact that one of the key factors in the development of cancer is an acidic environment or terrain. The pH of extracellular fluids surrounding a tumor can be very acidic while the pH of healthy tissue is alkaline. In simple terms, an acidic environment creates a perfect medium for cancer cells to grow.


Cancer cells die in a healthy (cellular) environment
Acidic plasma fluids are created when you ingest foods that are highly acidic such as sugar, refined food, junk food and meats. Unresolved mental and physical stress can also add to an acidic environment by forming specific stress hormones. If you want to prevent cancer – “alkalinity” is the key.
The ideal environment is created and maintained by several factors:
1. A diet of at least 80% raw fruits and vegetables, especially greens like kale and spinach.
2. Consuming approximately 64 ounces of clean purified water every day.
3. Mental and emotional peace and relaxation.
In order to monitor your alkalinity, strips that measure the pH of the saliva and urine can easily be purchased on line or at a natural market. It is best to measure your pH first thing in the morning, upon awakening, before brushing your teeth or drinking any fluids. A healthy saliva reading should be 7.0 and above while the urine should be between 6.4 – 6.8.

HI Mary,
I think you are thinking about baking powder, which has aluminum in it. Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate. People with hypertension may be want to be aware of the high sodium content and monitor their blood pressure if they drink the solution.




It is dismaying how ostensibly Dr. Moss and others treat Dr. Simoncini and his theories. One of the obstacles for many people is Dr. Simoncini’s declaration that cancer is a fungus. There is little dispute that cancer is an ACID condition or can be measured in terms of tumor pH. Previous research has found that cancers are significantly more acidic than normal tissues and that manipulation of pH with intravenous bicarbonate enhances some chemotherapy Acidic tissues are low in oxygen. When alkalinity increases the supply of oxygen to the cancerous tissue, the oxygen combines with the excessive hydrogen ions, creating water and neutralizing the acid.



We can certify bicarbonate’s usefulness for cancer patients from a number of different angles without pinning all our hopes on the fungus thesis. When doctors like Moss tear down the “cancer is a fungus” theory they conveniently forget to inform their readers that even mainstream oncologists recognize the routine involvement of late stage infections in cancer and that experts concede that as high as forty percent of cancers are caused by pathogens.10 The most recent research in this area demonstrates how even viruses can be responsible for up to fifty percent of certain types of cancers.11


Special Note: I have been recommending Bob’s Red Mill sodium bicarbonate for it is fine and advertises that it is aluminum free. But I have confirmed that Arm and Hammers is also aluminum free and it is amazing how inexpensive it is and Codex has no plans that I know of to remove it from supermarket shelves. Can you imagine having to get a doctors prescription for baking soda?


Special Recommendation: We recommend sodium bicarbonate use for anyone undergoing cardiac angiography, CT (computed tomography) or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to protect their kidneys. Medical imaging has soared over the last few years across all types of these tests. Doctors have long known exposure to contrast agents can cause damage in seemingly healthy kidneys. The Clinical Journal of the American Society Nephrology warns that kidney damage injury can arise after undergoing certain common medical imaging procedures is a serious health threat.
A meta-analysis of 17 randomised controlled trials has shown that
pre-procedural treatment with sodium bicarbonate based hydration
is the best strategy to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN).
12
Many medical imaging techniques, including cardiac angiography and CT scans, often involve the use of contrast agents, substances that contain iopamidol, iodixanol and barium with their own toxic downside. Dr. Solomon found that 31 percent of the research subjects experienced negative health effects after their imaging test. Overall 13 percent of the patients experienced a major event, such as death, stroke, heart attack, or end-stage renal disease. Those who developed contrast-induced kidney injuries had twice as many long-term negative health effects compared with patients who didn't suffer kidney damage. No doubt much of this harm can be avoided if sodium bicarbonate is used appropriately.
Though we have known that oral intake of sodium bicarbonate will have the ‘Simoncini” effect on oral, esophagus and stomach cancer we have not focused at all on the systemic effect of bicarbonate taken orally. Every cancer patient and every health care practitioner should know that oral intake of sodium bicarbonate offers an instant and strong shift of blood pH into the alkaline. So strong is the effect that athletes can notice the difference in their breathing as more oxygen is carried throughout the system and as more acids are neutralized.[i] The difference can be stunning for those whose respiration is labored under intense exercise loading.[ii] This tells us to take very seriously the oral use of bicarbonate for cancer treatment no matter what other treatment is used.
When one reads my thesis on different medicinal substances one has to always remember that I am a protocol man who does not support single shot cures for anything. With the publication of today’s chapter on sodium bicarbonate and maple syrup sodium bicarbonate slips securely into the number three spot right behind magnesium chloride and iodine. Each of these three substances effects directly onto basic human physiology in a way most pharmaceutical drugs do not. When used together we have a super threesome that will inexpensively go far to resolving many of the physical and even some of the emotional problems we and our children face. And if you have not made the connection please note that all three of these substances are used in emergency rooms and intensive care wards and they do commonly save lives every day with their inherent healing powers. See my chapter on emergency room medicine and cancer treatment.

All cancer sufferers and in fact every chronic disease patient should hold clearly in mind that pH is the regulatory authority that controls most cellular processes. The pH balance of the human bloodstream is recognized by medical physiology texts as one of the most important biochemical balances in all of human body chemistry. pH is the acronym for "Potential Hydrogen". In definition, it is the degree of concentration of hydrogen ions in a substance or solution. It is measured on a logarithmic scale from 0 to 14. Higher numbers mean a substance is more alkaline in nature and there is a greater potential for absorbing more hydrogen ions. Lower numbers indicate more acidity with less potential for absorbing hydrogen ions.

Our body pH is very important because pH controls the speed of our body's biochemical reactions. It does this by controlling the speed of enzyme activity as well as the speed that electricity moves through our body; the higher (more alkaline) the pH of a substance or solution, the more electrical resistance that substance or solution holds. Therefore, electricity travels slower with higher pH. If we say something has an acid pH, we are saying it is hot and fast. Alkaline pH on the other hand, bio-chemically speaking, is slow and cool.
Bicarbonate can be taken frequently throughout the day with half teaspoons amounts though for long term use lower doses are safer. For cancer patients initial use should be heavy and frequent to force a greater shift because smaller pH shifts can actually stimulate cancer growth******

liquid diet for dog with cancer

http://www.battle-cancer.com/diet_for_canine_with_cancer.htm


http://dogaware.com/articles/wdjinappetence.html

Almost any food can be offered, with the exception of a few foods that are toxic to dogs, such as chocolate, onions and macadamia nuts. Here are suggestions that have worked for some dogs:
  • Baby food, especially meats. You can use water, low-sodium broth, or even ice cream to slightly thin baby food and then use a syringe to put it in your dog’s cheek a little at a time.
  • Nutri-Cal and Nutri-Stat, high-calorie palatable food supplements designed to provide nutritional support and stimulate appetite.
  • Rebound and DogSure. These are nutritionally complete liquid meal replacement products.
  • Try different brands and types of commercial foods, including dry food, canned food, dog food rolls, dehydrated foods, premixes such as those made by The Honest Kitchen, commercial raw diets, and even cat food. Try various treats, too.
  • Smelly foods such as liverwurst and braunschweiger sausage. Chicken or beef liver braised in butter is another food that appeals to many dogs. Feed foods such as these in small quantities, or add them to other foods to enhance their appeal.
  • Foods from your plate. Sometimes dogs are more willing to eat if they get the same thing that you’re eating. Chicken nuggets, cheeseburgers (no onions) and pizza are also worth a try.
  • Fresh foods. Experiment to see what your dog may like, such as eggs (try scrambling them with cheese, or hard-boiling), canned fish, canned chicken or ham, seasoned and grilled meats, beef stew with gravy, macaroni and cheese, homemade soup, crab cakes, cheese, cream cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, deli meats (can be rolled with other food inside), milk shakes and ice cream (avoid chocolate and coffee flavors). Even foods like bread and pizza crusts are better than nothing, if your dog is willing to eat them.
  • Flavor enhancers, such as gravy, soup, broth, stock, sauces, butter and drippings may help make other foods more enticing, either when added on top or when cooked together. (Note: We do not recommend the commercial flavor enhancers for squeezing onto dog food; most we have seen contain artificial colors, preservatives, and other unhealthy ingredients.) Be careful about feeding too much fat, though, as it can cause stomach upset in some dogs, and even lead to pancreatitis in dogs prone to this disease. You can also try sprinkling Parmesan cheese, feta cheese, or a little garlic powder on top.
  • Honey is a tasty and healthy addition that may entice your dog to eat (see “A Honey of a Cure,” September 2007).
  • Bone broth is nourishing and flavorful, and can be fed alone, or mixed with other foods to make them more appealing. Use any type of meaty bones, such as chicken backs with skin removed. Chop the bones into pieces, if possible. Put them in a stock pot and cover with water. Add a small amount of apple cider vinegar to help leach the minerals from the bones. You can also add vegetables such as celery, carrots and potatoes (no onions). Bring to a boil, then simmer anywhere from 12 to 36 hours (or use a pressure cooker to save time). Pour the liquid off and remove the fat after it cools (a little can be left for flavor). Using a blender, liquify the veggies and meat from the bones (and the bones as well, if they are soft enough), then mix with the liquid and store in the refrigerator, or freeze for later use.
  • The temperature of food can affect its appeal. Cold food straight from the refrigerator has little odor, and may cause an upset stomach. Warming food increases flavor and aroma, making it more enticing. Food can be warmed in a microwave or by immersing the container in a bowl of hot water.

    Budwig Diet/ Flaxseed Oil Extraction

    How to Extract Flaxseed Oil

    http://www.ehow.com/how_8411995_extract-flaxseed-oil.html




    http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/cancer3.html#BD_24845

    04/06/2009: T from Maryland, USA replies: "... "Welcome to the only comprehensive & authoritative English-language website in the world offering authentic information on Dr. Johanna Budwig and her oil-protein diet & protocol as spelled out in fourteen of her original German books and other Budwig-related German-language sources":

    http://www.healingcancernaturally.com/budwig_protocol.html

    "The basis of Dr. Budwig's oil-protein diet: how to make the flaxseed oil plus cottage cheese/quark mixture & how to make simple homemade quark":

    http://www.healingcancernaturally.com/budwig-diet-flaxoil-quark-mix.html

    http://www.healingcancernaturally.com/budwig_protocol.html

    Dr. Johanna Budwig’s Major Discovery

    In 1952, Dr. Budwig wrote in a paper entitled On Fat Biology V. Paper Chromatography of Blood Lipoids, the Tumour Problem and Fat Research: "It is basically proven that highly unsaturated fatty acids are the heretofore undiscovered decisive factor in respiratory enzyme function", i.e. constitute the second part of the "equation" that nobelist Otto Warburg* had been unable to find. What sounds insignificant to the layman’s ears, is arguably one of the greatest breakthroughs in medicinal science: from that moment onward we have known that the highly unsaturated fatty acid is the decisive factor achieving the desired effect of cellular respiratory stimulation. Working in conjunction with sulfurated amino acids (protein), the highly unsaturated fatty acid plays a part, even the critical part, in the "bridging" taking place between fats and protein, in the absorption AND utilization of oxygen, in all growth processes, in the formation of blood and in many other processes. Working from this theory, Dr. Budwig was able to help a great many cancer patients with the scientific oil-protein diet of flaxoil plus cottage cheese she designed (the "Budwig diet"), which allows cancer cells to start "breathing" again. A few physicians followed in her footsteps, such as Dr. Dan C. Roehm from Florida or Dr. Robert E. Willner (Miami).

    When you mix together ... cottage cheese and linseed oil in your blender the fat becomes water-soluble" and thereby immediately available for use by the body. In this manner, the necessary "spark plugs" are provided for cells to "breathe", optimally detoxify and function, even more so when additionally combining the flax oil cottage cheese mix with an optimised sugar-free diet devoid of respiratory poisons [substances which inhibit cellular respiration] but containing much raw organic food (compare excerpts from Dr. Budwig’s Flax Oil As A True Aid and Nutrition page).

    Preparation of the Budwig diet flaxseed oil plus cottage cheese/quark mix


    http://www.healingcancernaturally.com/budwig-diet-flaxoil-quark-mix.html
    This is how the Budwig diet mix is prepared: for each tablespoon of flaxseed oil, add 2 tablespoons of low-fat cottage cheese (or quark). The flaxoil/cottage cheese (quark) mixture should be fully blended until no traces of oil remain visible, proving that the highly unsaturated fatty acids have become water soluble (a hand-held mixer or a blender works well when you add some milk as suggested by Dr. Budwig).
    For those who like to go into even more detail: using a measuring tablespoons of 15 ml, the flaxseed oil/cottage cheese (or quark) ratio is about 1:2 by volume (going by weight, the flaxseed oil/cottage cheese [or quark] ratio is about 1:2.4). It seems preferable to rather use a bit more cottage cheese (or quark) than too little. Dr. Budwig used 42 g flaxseed oil (3 tblsp) mixed with 100 g quark in her breakfast muesli, a central part of her diet.

    Dr. Johanna Budwig’s Quark-Flaxoil Linomel Breakfast Muesli Recipe

    Standard ingredients:
    • 3 tblsp flaxseed oil
    • 2 to 3 tblsp raw milk
    • 100 gr (6 tblsp) quark or cottage cheese
    • 2 tblsp Linomel (or 4 tblsp freshly ground flaxseeds)
    • 1 tsp honey
    • fruits and fruit juices
    • nuts (except peanuts)
    • natural flavours
    Put 2 tblsp of Linomel (or 4 tblsp freshly ground flaxseeds) in a small bowl. Cover with raw fruit according to season. Prepare the quark-flax oil mix in the following manner:
    Put flax oil, milk and honey into the blender, mix and gradually add the quark or cottage cheese in small portions. Blend until you have a smooth and well homogenised mix. No oil must be visible. Add more milk if necessary. Change the flavour every day by adding nuts, vanilla, cinnamon, various fruits such as banana, berries, cocoa, grated coconut, fruit juices (these must be added last). Use grated apple and dried fruit such as raisins and dried apricots soaked in fruit juice in winter.
    Cover the flaxseed and raw fruit layers with the flax oil/quark (cottage cheese) mix and optionally garnish with fruits and nuts.

    http://www.healingcancernaturally.com/how-long-stay-on-budwig-diet.html
    Dr. Budwig restates these warnings in a somewhat different and less sweeping and ominous phrasing in the final sentences* of her last book Cancer - The Problem and The Solution where she writes: “I will add here a few sentences by American doctor Jan Roehm who studied and applied my therapy in great detail and who writes: ‘... You should follow this diet for about 5 years. By that time, your tumor should have completely disappeared. Persons who stop the diet too early (by eating meat and sweets) sometimes see their health rapidly deteriorate and cannot be saved after such a bodily torture.’”
    * just followed by recipes, scientific glossary and a bibliography of her works

    Did Dr. Budwig specify a maintenance dose after remission has been achieved?

    In contrast to what can be read in various places on the internet, Dr. Budwig seems to never have mentioned (judging by the 14 books of hers that I have) that once a terminal illness has been brought under control or into remission, one may reduce the daily amount of flax oil ingested by going on a maintenance dose of one tablespoon per hundred lbs. of body weight. In fact in light of the above excerpts this might be considered less-than-safe advice to give. Michael of oel-eiweiss-kost.de for instance feels that personally, he would at least stick to one portion of flaxoil/cottage cheese (or quark) creme per day (either in the form of the breakfast muesli, dessert, or salad sauce) which corresponds to 3 tablespoons.

    baking soda treatment breast cancer

    very interesting (have to scroll through to the end of the web page):
    http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/cancer2.html#BAKINGSODA


    http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2012/04/new-in-breast-cancer-treatments-baking-soda-and-spider-venom/255646/
    Scientists at the University of Arizona have won a $2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop a cure based on the humblest of household ingredients: baking soda. So far, baking soda has been proven in mice to reduce the size of tumors by counteracting the lactic acid the growths produce when they expand. It's only mice, but still, it's also just baking soda.
    By drinking a baking soda solution, "patients can actually change their body's pH to make their cancer drugs more effective," said Mark Pagel, an associate professor of biomedical engineering and the lead researcher on the project. The only downside is that drinking too much baking soda can be toxic to other organs in the body, such as the bladder and the kidneys.



    http://breastcancerconqueror.com/baking-soda-a-natural-treatment-for-breast-cancer/
    Baking Soda holds promise as a Natural Treatment for Breast Cancer.

    Research conducted at the University of Arizona, department of Pharmacology supports the theory that Baking Soda holds promise as a Natural Treatment for Breast Cancer.  Their research demonstrated that oral intake of baking soda (NaHCO3) selectively increased the pH of tumors and significantly reduced spread of metastatic breast cancer in mice. They concluded, “…the dramatic effect of bicarbonate therapy on the formation of breast cancer metastases in this model system warrants further investigation.”

    Cancer cells are very acidic in nature because of the their increased metabolism of glucose (sugar) and poor oxygen metabolism. They grow best in a very acidic environment, which is why it is so important to keep your body fluids alkaline.

    How does one alkalize the body?  By increasing the alkaline foods in the diet. Raw green vegetables like kale and spinach are examples of alkaline foods.

    Tom Hudson
    A personal friend of mine; 63 year old male, was diagnosed with breast cancer and was told he must have surgery and chemotherapy in order to survive. He researched through the internet and found that high pH was one of the major killers of cancer. He proceeded to alkalize his system with all natural methods including baking soda achieving a tissue pH of 8.3. Following surgery to remove the breast lump his surgeon told him that the tumor was encapsulated as though the cancer had walled itself off in order to protect itself and was dying.

    interesting read:
    http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/breast_cancer.html


    http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/cancer2.html#BAKINGSODA

    http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/breastcancer.htm

    http://altmedicine.about.com/od/cance1/a/breast_cancer.htm

    Preliminary research suggests that these natural substances may also aid in the prevention of breast cancer:
    1) Curcumin
    An animal-based study published in 2009 shows that curcumin (a compound found in the curry spice turmeric and available in supplement form) may help reduce breast cancer risk for women undergoing hormone replacement therapy during menopause. The study's authors suggest that women receiving a combined estrogen and progestin hormone replacement therapy could potentially take curcumin to protect against the development of progestin-accelerated tumors. However, it's important to talk to your doctor about using any natural remedies in combination with hormone replacement therapy.
    2) Resveratrol
    In a test-tube study published in 2008, researchers found that resveratrol (an antioxidant found in the skin of grapes) helped suppress breast-cancer progression in its earliest stages. Available in supplement form, resveratrol appeared to stop estrogen from reacting with DNA molecules and forming compounds that mark the start of cancer cell formation.
    3) Green Tea
    While clinical trials on green tea's cancer-fighting effects have yielded mixed results, lab tests suggest that a combination of green tea and ganoderma (a medicinal mushroom, also known as reishi) may help slow the growth of breast cancer cells.

    how to sip baking soda and molasses for health

    http://truthpills.wordpress.com/health/maple-syrupbaking-soda-trojan-horse/

    **do not overheat baking soda and maple syrup.keep under 170 degrees to maintain optimum nutritive value

     

    Maple Syrup/Baking Soda Trojan Horse

    Germs consume sugar to generate energy and grow but it cannot live in an alkaline body. Due to our bad acidic diet, the pH of bodies are acidic. My ORAL and urine pH was around 6.2. Desired is 7.4. Too high is 8.2+.
    An acidic pH can occur from, an acid forming diet, emotional stress, toxic overload, and/or immune reactions or any process that deprives the cells of oxygen and other nutrients. The body will try to compensate for acidic pH by using alkaline minerals. If the diet does not contain enough minerals to compensate, a build up of acids in the cells will occur.
    An acidic balance will: decrease the body’s ability to absorb minerals and other nutrients, decrease the energy production in the cells, decrease it’s ability to repair damaged cells, decrease it’s ability to detoxify heavy metals, make tumor cells thrive, and make it more susceptible to fatigue and illness. A BLOOD pH of 6.9, which is only slightly acidic, can induce coma and death.
    By taking 1-2 tsp of Maple Syrup/Baking Soda regularly, I can maintain oral and urine pH around 7.4-7.8. This is the easiest way to boost pH in my body. If you have problems digesting food due to chemo and high pH, take some digestive enzymes and probiotics.
    Maple Syrup/Baking Soda Trojan Horse
    The sugar in the maple syrup is bounded with alkaline. If cancer cells or germs take in the sugar, the hidden alkaline will weaken or destroy it.
    Trader Joe’s organic grade B maple syrup 3 parts. Bob’s Red Mill baking soda 1 part (this is aluminum free unlike Arm & Hammer).
    Heat the maple syrup to a warm temperature to dissolve the baking soda (this need not be at a boil). Once warmed, stir in the baking soda for 5 minutes. Example: 90 tsp syrup, 30 tsp baking soda. Store this at room temperature. Make enough for 10 days, beyond which mold may grow.
    The syrup/bicarbonate complex is brought into cancer cells or candida where it alters pH to uan unfavorable alkaline level.
    For cancer patients use 5-7 teaspoons per day divided.
    For candida or pH control use 3 teaspoons per day.
    Tasty alkalinization and good health.
    Thanks Dr. Ng

    http://phkillscancer.com/protocol
    Protocol
    Okay…here is how I took the baking soda/molasses/water mixture:
    I started out with 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 1 teaspoon of Brer’ Rabbit Black Strap molasses and one cup of water. Not warmed or heated water. Just room temperature. Why Brer’ Rabbit molasses? Is it something special. No!….it is what I found in the cupboard (hahaha). But hey…maybe it was Brer’ Rabbit. Could it be a candidate for rainbow mania?
    Next day – same thing. Third day – same thing. Fourth day – same thing.  I am feeling fine and decide to up the dose. Bear in mind, I am new at this and everything I am doing is shooting from the hip. Hips, by the way, that are packing cancer (grin)!
    On the fifth day I started taking the solution twice a day. I also started taking better notes and finally got some pH paper and sticks so I could measure my pH. My goal was to get to 8.0 to 8.5 pH and hold it for 4 to five days. I got those numbers from Larry and the internet. It is what he used when ‘doing’ the cesium protocol  It is also what I saw on the net in a couple places where someone used cesium or baking soda to change their pH. I read that cancer cells become dormant at pH 7.0 and 7.5 plus or minus a few tenths (this is not an exact science and I am no scientist anyway) and kills them dead at 8.0 and 8.5.
    That was my goal. To kill them dead and hoping that bone cancer was a willing victim. Especially with the help of molasses to sweeten the deal (groan). Larry told me about his theory about sugar as a carrier, and I am thinking what the heck – I will try anything. I think Larry was talking honey because he read it somewhere.
    My pH measured 7.0 on the fourth day when I did a saliva pH test, and 7.5 when I did a urine pH test. Now didn’t know really how to measure or when to measure pH. I just did it randomly. I started recording the times on the sixth day.
    Day six – still 2 teaspoons of baking soda with 2 teaspoon of molasses and 1 cup of water twice a day. The  pH measured 7.25. Am I getting symptoms? Yes. I am feeling a little naseous. Not much, but a little quesy. I told Larry that my stool had a yellowish tinge. He said that was good. That is what happens with cesium. Also the nasea is good too. That means the something is coming out. Of course, I am hoping it is cancer.
    Now on this day six I really started tracking. I am checking pH with Stix and Paper. I discovered that all pH papers or stix are not alike. I test saliva and the urine, but did not track which one at the time. Here are the times and dosages.
    0645 – (Stix pH 7.25 & 7.75; Paper 7.5 Pee) (Stix 7.5 & 6.75 Saliva)
    1400 – BSMBS2
    1600 – (Stix pH 7.125 Saliva) (Stix pH 7.75 Pee)
    2030 – BSMBS2
    2345 – (Stix pH 8.0) – Felt a little Nausea
    BSMBS2 means Black Strap Molasses and Baking Soda 2 teaspoons each. Add water.
    Day seven – 06/08  1200 – (Stix pH 7.375 Paper pH 7.5+)
    Getting excited now. My lips tingle a bit and I feel the beginning of Oxygen Euphoria. I was worried a little about the lips, but then recall Larry talking about that as being part of the cesium therapy. Now the Oxygenation feeling that is really something else. It felt like I was hooked up to a pure oxygen machine and my nostrils were as big as wheel barrows.
    I am really hopeful now because I am under the impression that oxygen is what really kills cancer. I think it was Larry’s theory also. I am hoping that it likes killing bone cancer too!
    Also on day seven  I got aggressive and up the baking soda dosage to 3 teaspoons. This action  even though I was getting slight headachy feeling. As you can see, I backed off to 2 teaspoons baking soda because I was getting a little nervous. Also, my headache was getting stronger. I vascilated between continuing with the higher dose or not. I really wanted to kill it. But I went with my feeling and reduced it.
    1205 – BSM1BS3 Increased BS dosage to 3 teaspoons for this session
    1800 – (Stix pH 7.75)
    BSMBS2 got a little nervous about 3 teaspoons so I backed off
    Day eight – I moved to doing the double dose three times a day. I want that pH to get up there. There could be some health issues with all this baking soda. But I already have health issues. I really don’t know what I am doing. I am going by feel. The pH is doing good.
    06/09  0600 – (Stix pH 7.7
    1000 – BSMBS2
    1900 – (Stix pH 8.25)
    1905 - BSMBS2
    2345 – BSMBS2
    Day nine – A little diarrhea but not much. I am feeling a little weak, but again, not much. Later as I thought back, it would have been a good idea to up my potassium intake. Larry mentioned that it is a must to take high dosage of potassium with cesium. My symptoms I am getting from baking soda are copying what Larry said are cesium taking symptoms. So next time I do baking soda I will add more potassium. That may help up my energy. Later I will let you know what vitamins and minerals I took while on this protocol. I sure like the oxygen feeling.
    06/10  0800 – pH 7.75
    0900 – pH 8.25
    0905 – BSMBS2
    1400 – pH 8.5 A note: a little diarrhea, but not much
    1600 – BSMBS2
    1730 – pH 8.75
    2200 – pH 8.5
    2345 – BSMBS2
    A note: Felt oxygenation euphoria throughout the day. Like my body was breathing pure oxygen. Nostrils are at least a mile wide.
    Day ten – My headache is more persistent and I am having body sweats at night. Again, the sweats duplicating cesium symptoms.  I cut back this day to a solution twice a day; not three times.
    06/11  0800 – pH 8.5
    0830 – BSMBS2
    1230 – pH 8.5
    1830 – pH 8.5 Headache
    2330 – 8.375
    2331 – BSMBS2
    Note: Headache most of the day and part of yesterday. Sweaty late at night. Cut back to BSMBS2 only twice today.
    Day eleven – my last day before I am scheduled for the big test. The body scan, that is, to check on the condition of my bones to see what is going on with the cancer.
    06/12  0800 - (pH 8.0 and 7.5) Going down to 2 times a day
    0910 – pH 7.25
    0920 – BSMBS1.5
    Note: dropped to 1.5 teaspoons to see if it would help control headache. Loose stool and slight headache. Sweaty last night.
    1020 – More diarrhea with slight yellow tinge. Note: cutting back because I felt like it. I felt like I was getting overloaded. I probably would not have dropped back if I was not going to have Body Scan at hospital tomorrow.
    1300 – pH 8.35
    So there you have it.  That was my last day before the scan. I was hoping that I had reached my goal of maintaining pH 8.0 or above for 4 to 5 days. It may have been a stretch, but I think I reached it. Because of the differences in the pH papers and stix I was not 100% confident that I did enough. If  I was not going to hospital the next day I would have continued for a few more days….Why did I quit? I really don’t know. Sometimes I just do things. Believe me I was nervous.
    As you can see I named this dance “I got hit by a Rainbow.” Now remember….my dosage of Baking Soda is what  I used – each person is different. I would suggest that you use muscle testing; or like in my case – I used dowsing to find out what dosages to take. When I took the BS, I did not use anything to figure out what to take. I just did it!
    Now when I did take it I did not take it in regards to whether or not bicarbonate of soda would interfere with my digestion process. So if I were someone taking BS to change my pH I would take the baking soda solution two hours before or 2 hours after eating. Gotta give those stomach acids time to digest food.

    Can you treat cancer with baking soda? and is maple syrup more harm than good in conjuction?

    note***baking soda heated above 120 degrees is non-beneficial in this instance

    Lots of good stuff on these pages

    http://community.breastcancer.org/forum/121/topic/785203

    Cancer cells cannot survive in an alkaline  environment.
    The acid environment of tumor cells is responsible for allowing them to  thrive and spread. Making the tumor cells more alkaline increases the ability of  other anti-carcinogenic drugs to become more effective in preventing tumor  activities. (See Reference 3.) Tumors are more acidic than other normal cells  and tissues. An acidic environment is low in oxygen, and changing the pH to  alkaline allows an increase of oxygen supply to the cell. This controls the  abnormal function of the tumor and prevents it from metastasizing. (See Resource  1.)

    Drinking baking soda has been proven to reduce or eliminate the spread of breast cancer to the lungs, brain and bone, but too much baking soda can also damage normal organs.


    Just as people feel the burn from lactic acid produced in their muscles during rigorous exercise, tumors also produce lactic acid when they are actively growing, Pagel said. This acid destroys surrounding tissue, which allows the tumor to grow, invade surrounding areas, and metastasize to other organs in the body. "The acid also provides resistance to common chemotherapies," Pagel said.
    "Measuring the pH in a tumor is essential, because some drugs only work at the right pH," said Jennifer Barton, professor and head of UA biomedical engineering. "Patients can actually change their body's pH to make their cancer drugs more effective - it can be as simple as drinking baking soda - but this process has to be carefully monitored."

    As someone else said, I thought the body strictly regulated the pH level. But...this could be interesting. This study was on PubMed. 
     
    Bicarbonate increases tumor pH and inhibits spontaneous metastases.

    Health Benefits of Pumpkin Puree & Stuff

    http://www.livestrong.com/article/469900-what-are-the-health-benefits-of-eating-pumpkin-puree/

    If you open a can of pumpkin puree only around Thanksgiving to make pumpkin pie, you are missing out a wealth of nutrients. Pumpkin puree is low in calories and fat and offers a number of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that support a healthy diet.

    Read more: http://www.livestrong.com/article/469900-what-are-the-health-benefits-of-eating-pumpkin-puree/#ixzz2CdI6pZn2



    Vitamins

    Pumpkin puree contains more than 38,000 international units of vitamin A per cup, which is more than 700 percent of the daily value based on a 2,000-calorie diet. Vitamin A helps support cell reproduction, vision health, immune function, bone health, healing and fetal development. Pumpkin puree provides 39 mcg of vitamin K per cup to help with blood coagulation and potentially protect against osteoporosis. Pumpkin puree also offers smaller amounts of most of the B vitamins. In particular, it is a source of folate, which helps protect against certain birth defects.

    Minerals

    One cup of pumpkin puree provides more than 500 mg of potassium, more than you get in one banana. Potassium helps keep your mineral and fluid balance in check to promote proper heart rhythm and muscle function. It also provides 64 mg of calcium, 3.4 mg of iron and small amounts of copper, manganese, zinc, phosphorus and magnesium. These minerals all support bone health, muscle contraction, immunity and nervous system function.



    Antioxidants

    Pumpkin's orange color is a clue to its high antioxidant content. The puree offers lutein and zeaxanthin, both of which support vision health. Pumpkin also is a source of beta carotene. Diets rich in vegetables containing beta carotene correlate with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Pumpkin puree also provides vitamin C, an antioxidant that supports tissue repair and immunity, as well as vitamin E, which fights disease-causing free radicals in the body.

    Fiber

    Pumpkin puree contains 7 g of fiber per cup. Adequate fiber intake ensures a healthy digestive tract and can help prevent constipation. Fiber also can help reduce your risk of heart disease by helping to lower your cholesterol levels. The Institute of Medicine recommends women take in a minimum of 25 g of fiber daily and men a minimum of 38 g daily.

    Benefits of Blackstrap Molasses

    http://spiritfoods.net/health-benefits-of-blackstrap-molasses/
    When the sugar cane plant is processed, two products are produced. One the one hand, we have the refined sugar, which is sold in our supermarket shelves, and on the other hand, we have the ‘waste product’, a black goo called blackstrap molasses, which is fed to livestock on farms instead. This is quite ironic, because whereas refined sugar is one of the most toxic ingredients we can put into our bodies and causes innumerable health issues (such as obesity and diabetes), blackstrap molasses is one of the healthiest ingredients we can put into our bodies, since it contains all the trace minerals that were removed from the sugar cane during refinement.

    The benefits of blackstrap molasses, as previously implied, are legion. For a start, blackstrap contains a large number of trace minerals that are often lacking in other foods. This is because the roots of the sugar cane plant grow deep into the earth, and therefore intercept soil that is much more fertile and mineral-rich than that reached by most other plants.
    As a general summary, one tablespoon of blackstrap molasses contains between 13-18% of our body’s recommended daily doses of magnesium, iron, copper, and calcium. Calcium is important for bones and teeth, iron is needed to carry oxygen to the blood cells, magnesium keeps the heart healthy, and copper helps with enzymatic reactions, cell growth, connective tissues, eyes, hair, and aging.
    Blackstrap also contains 18% of our RDA of manganese, 10% of our RDA of potassium, 5% of our RDA of vitamin B6, and 3.5% of our RDA of selenium. These are all important trace minerals that work in tandem with each other to maintain the body’s natural processes.
    Another benefit of blackstrap molasses is that it is a natural laxative. It helps to soften the stools and cleanse the bowels, much like fruit. For this reason, it is best to drink blackstrap molasses first thing in the morning before eating

    • The recommended dosage of blackstrap molasses is one tablespoon a day. Taking less than this amount might not produce noticeable results. Taking more than this amount is fine, but you might want to monitor the number of other sugary foods you consume during the day to avoid blood sugar spikes or weight gain.
    • To prepare the blackstrap for consumption, boil some water, mix the blackstrap into it using a tablespoon, and either wait until it cools or add some cold water on top. Some people like to add a little milk to the mixture to improve its taste.
    • As previously mentioned, blackstrap molasses is best taken in the morning, since it is both a laxative and an energy booster. Also, because blackstrap molasses is sugary, it is best to drink it through a straw so that it avoids contact with teeth. Buying a reusable stainless steel straw is a good idea, since disposable plastic straws are an environmental disaster!
    • Purchase unsulfured blackstrap molasses, since molasses treated with sulfites does not retain its nutritional value.
    It might take a few weeks before you begin to notice the molasses’ health benefits, but they will be worth it. Your skin will become clearer, you will feel more energized, bowel movements will become regular and softer, and your hair may return to its natural color!

    http://spiritfoods.net/blackstrap-molasses/

    Blackstrap molasses is the third and highest grade of molasses, differing from other grades of molasses insofar as it has a much fuller and more robust flavor. Made from boiling sugar cane three times, blackstrap can serve as a healthy natural alternative to many processed sweeteners. Blackstrap is also considered by some health researchers as a holistic treatment for a range of ailments. Whether eaten for medical purposes or simply for taste, blackstrap is a great ingredient to have at hand for any health-conscious cook, chef, or health food fanatic.

    Health Benefits

    Blackstrap molasses is great for people who have glucose or blood-sugar level issues since it has a low glycemic index. This means that the glucose and carbohydrates in the molasses are broken down much slower than in processed sugars, meaning that they require much less insulin for the body to process and are therefore healthier for those with blood-sugar issues such as diabetes.
    Blackstrap is also high in iron, which is a vital mineral used by the body in its production of red blood cells. It is this high iron content that makes blackstrap a great choice for those whom are trying to overcome anemia, a disease that causes red blood cells to shrink in number and surface area, and is usually treated with iron supplements. However, these iron supplements tend to cause nausea and constipation for people with sensitive stomachs. Blackstrap is a healthy natural alternative for people looking to boost their iron intake without dealing with the side effects that artificial treatments invariably provide.
    Two additional minerals present in blackstrap molasses are magnesium and calcium. Magnesium and calcium work together to ensure proper bone strength and growth. Magnesium also plays a role in regulating heart health and greatly reduces the risk of a heart attack.

    Due to its many uses, blackstrap molasses is one of the most widely used holistic cures among the natural healing community. It can be used to treat many ailments, including arthritis, acne, joint pain, constipation (molasses is a natural laxative), anxiety, and heart palpitations. Blackstrap is also great for treating cardiovascular disease due to its chromium content. Chromium washes away fatty build-ups in veins and arteries that can cause deadly blood clots.
    Less orthodox uses of blackstrap include using it to treat hemorrhoids, and, thanks to its copper content, using it to reverse graying hair. Although these claims may seem far-fetched, the truth is that countless people are using blackstrap to successfully treat a variety of ailments.
    Made from the juice of pure cane sugar, blackstrap molasses is an excellent alternative to other artificially processed sugars. It also has a variety of minerals that provide various health benefits, making it a great addition to any healthy diet.

    http://metamorpheus.hubpages.com/hub/benefits-of-blackstrap-molasses

    Iron and Copper Content

    Firstly, blackstrap an excellent source source of much-needed trace minerals, especially iron and copper. Iron, of course, is especially good for blood (iron is an important mineral for hemoglobin, a component of red blood cells that helps the cells to transport oxygen from our lungs to our bodily tissues). Many people in the world are deficient in iron, which leads to the common condition known as anemia. Therefore, blackstrap molasses is a great way to cure anemia in a natural manner, without resorting to synthetic drugs such as ferrous sulphate. (Remember: iron is one of the few nutrients that our bodies cannot excrete. This means that an excess of iron in our bodies – from supplements or otherwise – can actually poison us through heavy metal toxicity. Since 2 teaspoons of blackstrap molasses will provide you with approximately 13% of your daily recommended intake of iron, the possibility of excess iron consumption is unlikely).
    Copper, on the other hand, is often taken as a supplement for the physical benefits it provides, including its anti-aging properties (it is not unheard of for people's hair to return to its original color after taking molasses for an extended period), and its cell growth benefits. 2 teaspoons of blackstrap molasses will provide approximately 14% of your daily recommended amount of copper.
    Aside from iron and copper, 2 teaspoons of blackstrap also contains 18% of your RDA of manganese (required for good bones and energy building), 13% of your RDA of calcium (aids in tooth and bone care), 10% of your RDA of potassium (regulates blood pressure), and 3.5% of your RDA of selenium (a powerful antioxidant).

    Taking the Molasses

    To get the best benefits from blackstrap, I recommend taking at least one tablespoon of it per day, first thing in the morning. This could be viewed as a 'maintenance' dose (i.e. a dose that provides the body with minerals). Personally, I feel that the best way to take the blackstrap is in a mug of warm water (boil the kettle and mix the tablespoon of blackstrap into the hot water, then either wait for the mixture to cool, or add cold water to make it of drinkable temperature) with a straw. I recommend straws because blackstrap molasses is sugary, so the straw will help the blackstrap bypass the teeth.

    How and When to Take the Molasses

    Blackstrap molasses is a health food and should be used as such. Any physical benefits it provides your body, such as improved hair and skin, should really be viewed as a bonus rather than the main reason for taking it. Fortunately, the recommended dose of one tablespoon per day – preferably in the morning, since that’s when you’ll probably need the energy most – is enough blackstrap to serve as both a health supplement, and a method of improving one’s hair and general appearance.
    Do not expect the blackstrap molasses to improve your hair immediately, however. If your hair is graying, you will need to wait a few months (of taking at least one tablespoon a day) to notice real changes. After all, the blackstrap won’t be returning an existing hair to its original color, but rather, causing the ‘aged’ hair to fall out and be replaced by a new and more youthful hair.
    Incidentally, if you’re a man whose hair is receding and you wish to restore hair growth, then you’re in luck. Not only can blackstrap molasses stimulate hair growth, but it can do so in half the time it takes to replace a graying hair, since the body does not need to remove aging hair before replacing it. Therefore, if you’re someone who wants to both stimulate hair growth and revitalize existing hair using blackstrap, expect to see hair growth first, before the blackstrap can ‘deal’ with existing gray or brittle hair. But the most important thing is that it will deal with both, as long as you stick with it as a supplement. If you find that nothing is happening after a few months, then you may wish to increase your dose of blackstrap. However, one tablespoon a day is ideal for almost all people.

    http://zentofitness.com/the-benefits-of-blackstrap-molasses/
    The high and bio-available source of Iron makes it a great addition to females diets as well as growing children – To put it in perspective Molasses has more iron than red meat. It is also rich in calcium which makes people think of dairy or green vegetables as the only source. We forget how important calcium is for metabolism, muscle contractions and correct cell function. 2 TSP’s of blackstrap molasses will provide you with a large proportion of your daily needs of many of these vitamins and minerals, most importantly though they come in a form that our bodies are familiar with and can make use of.

    You want to look for unsulphured and preferably organic blackstrap molasses, this means it will be free from nasty chemicals used in processing and ultimately leads to a purer product. Store it in a cool and dark cupboard and once opened it will last for around 6 months.

    Molasses Cures

    Thanks to the wonderful feedback we have received over the past eight years, blackstrap molasses appears to be making headlines as one of the best home remedies around! We have emails from our readers about blackstrap molasses curing cancerous tumors, fibroid tumors, anxiety, constipation, edema, heart palpitations, anemia, arthritic pain, joint pain, and acne, just to name a few. It has also been reported that molasses turns gray hair back to its original color and is a wonderful skin softener!

    WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOLASSES AND BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES?Regular ole molasses is the first or second boiling of cane sugar syrup while blackstrap is the third boiling of the syrup. Iron levels appear to increase 5% in the 3rd boiling (see Nutritional Chart).

    07/07/2010: Maria from Mt. Laurel, Nj replies: "I drink black strap molasses in hot water with the juice of half a lemon. From my research Vitamin C helps with the absorption of iron. Before I started the bsm I would start my day with a glass of hot water and lemon... Now I just add the tablespoon of blm. I want to try it in warm almond milk next as suggested on this site. I'm drinking bsm for the myriad of heath benefits. Thanks for all the great tips here."

    12/01/2011: Lynette from Brisbane, Australia replies: "I HAVE JUST HEARD OF THE POWER OF BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES IN CONJUNCTION WITH APPLE CIDER VINEGAR (WITH MOTHER AS OPPOSED TO ONE DEADENED BY PASTUERISING). I SUFFER FROM ARTHRITIS IN THE KNEES AND HAVE 2 TEASPOONS OF THE APPLE CIDER VINEGAR WITH 1 TEASPOON OF BACKSTRAP MOLASSES IN A GLASS OF WARM WATER THAT HAS HAD LEMON JUICE SQUEEZED INTO IT. DO THIS MORNING AND NIGHT. IT WAS RECOMMENDED TO ME BY SOMEONE WHO NO LONGER SUFFERS FROM GOUT IN HIS FOOT DUE TO THE EFFICIENCY OF THIS CONCOCTION.

    Turmeric and Ginger Tea and stuff

     
    Bodies responding to seasonal changes with the flu, coughs, and running noses, are immediately administered with honey mixed with turmeric, or turmeric mixed in milk by the homemaker, to soothe and to cure.
     
    Indians therefore, are no strangers to the multiple uses of Turmeric (Curcuma longa). It is well recognized as the best anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic and wound healer. Used in cooking as a spice for over 2,500 years, turmeric has a bitter, musty flavor similar to mustard. It is this spice that gives Indian curries their characteristic bright yellow-orange color.

     
     
    Regular use of turmeric has been found to reduce the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease and may play a role in its treatment. It is also being studied as a natural remedy for arthritis, ulcerative colitis, and similar conditions, as it has anti-inflammatory characteristics.
    Turmeric's primary active component is a molecule called curcumin, a powerful antioxidant. It is possible to purchase this component as a standalone supplement. Other organic compounds in turmeric have been found to offer anti-fungal and general antibiotic value. A number of studies are also pursuing turmeric as potentially being part of a natural cure for various cancers.
    When taking turmeric as a health aid, it should be remembered that curcumin is substantially more bioavailable when taken along with a bit of black pepper.

    Turmeric is a near miraculous healer. It smothers the fires of inflammation and fights infection inside the body and on the skin. Turmeric is most effective if it can be consumed before an illness or infection even starts. Using one of these three methods is a guaranteed way to wield turmeric as a real health shield, against whatever life might throw at you.

    The astringent qualities of turmeric are also useful in cases of consumption, tuberculosis, bronchitis, colds and asthma, the root being lightly cooked and eaten. At times, turmeric has been taken as a diuretic, and topically it can be helpful with pimples or to stop bleeding.

    Turmeric tea can be made from the powdered spice and is available in instant forms, some with green tea combinations. When combined with ginger, turmeric tea is tasty. Simmer 1/2 tsp. each of powdered ginger and turmeric powder, in 2 cups of boiling distilled water. Allow to simmer for about 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and enjoy warm.

    3) Using ginger and turmeric

    I’ve always been a fan of taking herbal remedies such as garlic whenever I feel under the weather, so when I learnt that ginger and turmeric were useful for healing uterine issues, I jumped right on board.
    In vitro tests show that ginger kills ovarian cancer cells. Turmeric, which is also a root in the ginger family, has also been shown to have a positive effect on ovarian cancer cells.
    Ginger Tea recipe (delicious!): As many fresh ginger slices as I can manage in a cup of hot water with a little bit of brown sugar to taste. Leave to steep for 15-20 minutes in a covered cup and top off with freshly-squeezed lemon juice (from half a lemon). This was delicious and became an almost daily drink for me.
    A second method is by juicing. If you have a juicer, you can also extract fresh ginger juice. To save time, I like to make a big batch at once and freeze the ginger juice in ice cube trays. I then store these in a container in the freezer and pop in a few cubes in my drink whenever I want. It tastes really good in chilled lemon juice with a bit of sugar. Be warned though — this makes for a much more spicy drink than the hot tea method above. 
    Turmeric concoction (much less tasty): To change up the routine a bit, some days I would also take a half teaspoon of turmeric powder in a little hot water with a pinch of sea salt for taste. This didn’t taste good so I only have it occasionally. It wasn’t too unpleasant, just a little bitter and chalky. This is the kind of drink to take quickly, and I downed it like a shot.
    Interestingly, once I started drinking turmeric, I noticed that when I started feeling a little under the weather, I would start craving a turmeric drink. As oddly tasting as it was, my body wanted it. And it worked too. I rarely get sick, but I remember being hit by a particularly bad flu that was going around once, and it was because of turmeric that my symptoms were much less severe than what others around me seemed to be experiencing.

    Magnesium chloride (which I ingest and apply transdermally on my skin) and magnesium citrate have proven to be a great nerve soother and relaxer. More importantly, magnesium is antagonistic to calcium. Thus, it helps dissolve the calcium deposits in ovarian cysts.
    A wonderful side effect for me has been a drastic improvement in the texture of my breast tissue. Not only has the general “lumpiness” disappeared, but a hard, benign lump that I have had for many years softened and shrank drastically thanks to iodine and magnesium chloride. I’m positive it will disappear completely over time. (If your breasts get sore/swollen during or before menstruation, try painting them with iodine tincture. I got almost instant relief when I painted my breasts the first time. And the brown stain disappeared very quickly, a sign that my poor breasts were sucking up the iodine. )
    I strongly recommend reading more about iodine and magnesium. Here are a few great articles to get you started.
      • Iodine – The universal medicine. “In the case of polycystic ovary syndrome, the starvation of the ovaries causes them to become cystic, swollen…. The greater the iodine deficiency, the greater the number of cysts in the ovaries.”
      • A 2004 Taiwanese study on magnesium and calcium in drinking water and risk of death from ovarian cancer. The results of the present study show that drinking magnesium-rich water on a regular basis may exert a protective effect on the risk of death from ovarian cancer. Future studies of magnesium intake and ovarian cancer should include estimates of magnesium intake from drinking water as well as from diet and supplements.
      • Magnesium — The Neglected Mineral We Cannot Live Without (download pdf). This article will be an eye-opener for most people and for that, I’m labeling it a must-read. You’ve heard about calcium through the powerful milk/dairy lobby and endless milk commercials, but it’s actually magnesium that’s crucial for strong bones. Would it surprise you that two of the strongest animals on earth—elephants and oxen—don’t sit around guzzling milk all day? Of course not. They eat plants, which are chock full of magnesium.

    Food As Medicine

    Ginger’s medicinal properties are valued by many cultures and have been proven by modern science: it’s anti-bacterial, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and has antioxidant benefits and protective against several types of cancers.
    Ginger is often used to treat upset stomach, gas, nausea and diarrhea. It is widely used to prevent or treat nausea associated with motion sickness, pregnancy and cancer chemotherapy.
    Ginger reduces all symptoms associated with motion sickness including dizziness, nausea, vomiting and cold sweating.
    Ginger is an excellent expectorate, relieving congestion in the chest or sinuses. Ginger is widely used to treat the common cold, flu, headaches and even painful menstrual periods.
    Recent studies have shown ginger helps lower cholesterol and prevent blood clotting and thus protecting against heart disease.
    Ginger is used by traditional cultures as well as modern health care professionals to treat health problems associated with inflammation, including arthritis and ulcerative colitis.
    Ginger is used as a food preservative and is antimicrobial (kills or inhibits the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, protozoans, viruses) has been proven to kill e-coli.
    Ginger is mineral rich (potassium, manganese, copper, magnesium) and has B vitamins, but its medicinal properties may come from its powerful essential oils and phenolic compounds.
    Ginger’s fiery and pungent aroma makes it distinct and is highly valued throughout the Caribbean where it grows wildly in warm, fertile tropical areas. Much of the world’s supply of ginger comes from Jamaica.

    How to Make Ginger Tea

    I buy ginger root from the health food store and get a piece about the size of the palm of my hand. I determine the freshness by breaking off a piece. The skin should be tight and when you break a piece, it should snap off. If it’s weak, softer and doesn’t have a crisp, clean break, its old and should not be eaten.
    Always wash ginger and although some people peel it, I leave the skin on without peeling it. I do cut off the gnarly, dark edges though.
    Break or cut off a piece about the size of your thumb and slice it thin (see image above).
    Here are two simple ways to make ginger tea:
    1 – Put the ginger slices in a pot of water and turn up the heat until it boils. As soon as it boils, take it off the heat and let it cool for 5 – 10 minutes.
    2 – Boil some water and add the hot water to your cup of ginger and let steep for 5 – 10 minutes.
    I don’t strain the pieces of ginger out (I leave them in and chew on them when finished with the tea). Then, just before you drink it, while its still hot, squeeze in an entire lemon and add a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper and mix it up. Do not add honey or any sweetener. That will do the trick.
    http://vegetarian.about.com/od/morerecipes/r/GingerTea.htm

    Preparation:

    Peel the ginger and slice thinly to maximize the surface area. This will help you make a very flavorful ginger tea. Boil the ginger in water for at least 10 minutes. For a stronger and tangier tea, allow to boil for 20 minutes or more, and use more slices of ginger. Remove from heat and add lime juice and honey (or agave nectar) to taste. The secret to making a really flavorful ginger tea is to use plenty of ginger - more than you think you will need - and also to add a bit of lime juice and honey to your ginger tea. You will also probably want to add more honey than you think you will need as well. Enjoy your hot ginger tea! A homemade ginger tea is excellent in soothing stomach aches and in aiding digestion.
