Studies have indicated that cinnamon has antifungal, antibacterial, and antiparasitic qualities. It has been found effective in fighting vaginal and oral yeast infections, stomach ulcers, and head lice. Cinnamon has anti-inflammatory properties which aid in decreasing body inflammation that is caused by our Western diet of fried, fatty, and processed foods.

In recent studies, cinnamon may actually help people with Type 2 diabetes by controlling blood sugar levels, while possibly lowering bad cholesterol and triglycerides. In a study in Pakistan, people with Type 2 diabetes were given a gram of cinnamon a day for forty days. The results showed a significant decrease in blood sugar levels, LDL (bad) cholesterol, total cholesterol and triglycerides.
Historically, cinnamon and cinnamon oil are mentioned 130 times in the Bible. In fact, they are mentioned in Exodus 30: 22-25 where Moses used these ingredients for his anointing oil. They were burned at funerals, and the Egyptians used them in their embalming process.

Cinnamon is a native of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and dates back to 2800 B.C. where it was found in Chinese writings. Early cinnamon came from the bark of the laurel tree. Modern day cinnamon comes from the cassia tree. Cinnamon was once so highly-prized that wars were fought over it; it was used as a currency and for aphrodisiacal powers. Cinnamon, once grown only in Sri Lanka, is now grown in Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Mauritius, Reunion and Guyana, in addition to America, the West Indies, Vietnam, China, Indonesia and other tropical-climate countries.

In the late 17th century cinnamon was so popular that the Dutch, French, English and Portuguese fought for control of the island of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) to gain the monopoly of the cinnamon crop. Today, cinnamon is still in demand all over the world; there is an abundant supply of it and it is affordable for most people.

Cinnamon not only smells good and tastes good but is also good for you. If you want something different to spread on your toast at breakfast, mix a teaspoon of cinnamon into a cup of honey and spread this on your toast for a delicious treat. Furthermore, add a tablespoon of cinnamon to the raw apples when making applesauce. This will help to preserve the applesauce in the refrigerator for weeks.

Acai Berry Juice

The acai berry (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) is found in the Brazilian rain forest. Acai has been used for thousands of years to enhance overall health, energy and vitality. Acai berries are abundant in flavonoid compounds known as anthocyanins, the natural pigments responsible for the acai’s deep purple coloring and powerful antioxidant properties. Added benefits include:

• It has been shown that the consumption of acai juice or pulp by healthy human volunteers caused a significant increase in their plasma antioxidant capacity.
• Phytochemical and nutrient component analysis of acai has shown that acai has a low sugar content and contains lipids, with unsaturated fatty acids (oleic and linoleic acids), phytosterols (ß-sitosterol) and dietary fiber.
• Scientific evidence has shown that açai extract possesses noticeable activity against superoxide, and the highest activity of any food reported to date against the peroxyl radical, when measured by the oxygen radical absorbance capacity assay (ORACFL).

We are offering both these juices for $25, which are originally $34. In addition, we have a limited number of Pomegranate juice concentrates available for $10. This NSI product is also all natural with no added sugar or flavorings.

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruit, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It’s not as easy as you think. It’s important to know how and when to eat. What is the correct way of eating fruits?

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.
If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities. Let’s say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so. In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil…. So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining — every time I eat watermelon I burp or my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc — actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat!

Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes will NOT happen, if you eat fruit on an empty stomach.

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon being acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight. When you need to drink fruit juice – drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don’t even drink juice that has been heated up. Don’t eat cooked fruits because you don’t get the nutrients at all. You only get the taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins. But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. !
Here are interesting facts on some fruits.

KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.

APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants and flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack and stroke.

STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits and protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.

ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent and dissolve kidney stones as well as lessen the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene — the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C and potassium.

GUAVA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.

Last tip of the day.

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this ’sludge’ reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

We are excited to announce that our next Daoist class will have an expert in Chinese Calligraphy and Talisman creation teaching the class. She has lived and studied in China for 7 years and is fluent in writing and speaking Mandarin Chinese. Full kits for you to work with will be in class and you will be walked through each step of the proper way for moving your brushes and applying your inks. Here is an excerpt from her letter to me….

“I can understand the empowerment possible in Chinese calligraphy. The ink is made with carbon so it can be manipulated by the energy field of the calligrapher. Scanning electron microscope investigations in Japan have shown that the carbon atoms have their poles aligned when a master’s work is examined. Work by students shows no such alignment so low or none energy flow from the calligrapher into the character, ink and paper. I have Chinese artist friends who can tell even the slightest difference in a reproduction of a master’s work. The vitality and energy of the master can seldom be matched in that moment, even by a talented and well-trained hand. The energy can be felt by the observer.” Robbie Miles

You will be taught how to transfer your energy into the Talisman so that what you are wishing to achieve can be realized.
We have had many requests from students who missed the Daoist Class 1 to repeat the course so that they may continue with the program. We will open this class to students who are have not take Daoist 1 but are interested in this topic. We will then schedule a make up class so that each student will be able to continue into Daoist 3. After that, we will not be able to open any other classes to new students as there would be too much information missed.

We look forward to seeing everyone on Aug 7-8. Please call us to make your reservation.
Dr Dennis Alexander

This class will take place July 24-25, 2010

Contact the Healing Center directly at 727-323-2793 as there are still openings available.

The Chakras are the organs of the Human Energy Field (aura). Learn the different layers of our energy field and how the Chakras affect our moods and influence our physical emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. We will explore Shamanic techniques, and mudras for cleansing and balancing your own Chakras to maintain optimum health. We will also practice viewing auras, sensing Chakras and using intuition.

Then you will learn yoga asanas (postures) and kriyas (flow) to open and clear your energy. We’ll start with deep root chakra work in the hips and then move that energy up the spine with spinal wave-like movements and sustained poses. This will assist in releasing stuck emotional energy. We’ll then move up to the heart and throat and end with meditation and spirtual awakening (crown chakra). Kundalini yoga and TriYoga flows will be practiced. Any level may attend. Bring firm pillows if you have problems sitting on floor and to assist other poses.

Offering a discount to those who pay entire balance in advance. Two workshops in one! Reserve online at www.wheelsoflight.org or call (813) 361-0450.

New research just presented at the Endocrine Society’s 92nd Annual Meeting, held in San Diego, shows that natural antioxidants in the diet can be a powerful way to improve insulin resistance — even in people who are obese and suffering from metabolic syndrome. A precursor of diabetes associated with insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions (including high blood pressure, elevated insulin levels, excess body fat around the waist and abnormal cholesterol levels) that raise the risk of heart disease and stroke, as well as diabetes.

“The beneficial effects of antioxidants are known, but we have revealed for the first time one of their biological bases of action — improving hormonal action in obese subjects with the metabolic syndrome,” lead researcher Antonio Mancini, MD, an endocrinology researcher at Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Rome, Italy, said in a statement to the media.

Although the researchers did not discuss the possibility, the ability of the high antioxidant diet to greatly improve insulin resistance without any medication is a hopeful indication that diets rich in natural antioxidants alone may help many people faced with this pre-diabetic problem who can not take — or don’t want to take — the drug metformin. The medication’s most common side effects (which occur in one out of every three patients) are nausea, vomiting, gas, bloating, diarrhea and loss of appetite.

Dr. Mancini pointed out that there’s evidence oxidative stress, which can result in damage to blood particles and cells, plays a role in the metabolic syndrome. And previous research has shown that antioxidants can prevent oxidative damage to cells and sometimes even repair damage. Antioxidants, which are found naturally in many foods including fruits, vegetables, legumes and nuts, include vitamins E and C, selenium and carotenoids, such as beta-carotene.

Secondhand Chemo

The Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA), it turns out, does not regulate workplace exposure to toxic, cancer-causing chemotherapy chemicals. At first glance, that seems surprising, since OSHA regulates workplace exposure to far less harmful chemicals. Why not chemo? The answer is because the toxicity of chemotherapy has long been ignored by virtually everyone in medicine and the federal government. It has always been assumed harmless or even “safe” just because it’s used as a kind of far-fetched “medicine” to treat cancer. This, despite the fact that chemotherapy is a derivative of the mustard gas used against enemy soldiers in World War I. Truthfully, chemotherapy has more in common with chemicals weapons than any legitimate medicine. So today, while workers are protected from secondhand smoke in offices across the country, pharmacists are still being exposed every single day to toxic, cancer-causing chemicals that OSHA seems to just ignore. The agency has only issued one citation in the last decade to a hospital for inadequate safety handling of toxic chemotherapy drugs. As the Seattle Times reports, “A just-completed study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) — 10 years in the making and the largest to date — confirms that chemo continues to contaminate the work spaces where it’s used and in some cases is still being found in the urine of those who handle it…”

The Great Contradiction In Cancer Treatments

As the Seattle Times reports: “Danish epidemiologists used cancer-registry data from the 1940s through the late 1980s to first report a significantly increased risk of leukemia among oncology nurses and, later, physicians. Last year, another Danish study of more than 92,000 nurses found an elevated risk for breast, thyroid, nervous-system and brain cancers.” The story goes on to report how new safety rules are being put in place across the industry to protect pharmacists, veterinarians, nurses and doctors from toxic chemotherapy chemicals. But even the Seattle Times, which deserves credit for running this story, misses the bigger point: If these chemicals are so dangerous to the doctors, nurses and pharmacists dispensing them, how can they be considered “safe enough” to inject into patients who are already dying from cancer? It’s a serious question. After all, if nurses can become violently ill after merely spilling chemotherapy chemicals on themselves (it’s true), then what effect do you suppose these chemicals have when injected into patients? The cancer industry, though, has never stopped injecting patients long enough to ask the commonsense question: Why are we in the business of dispensing poison in the first place? Poison, after all, isn’t medicine. Not when dispensed in its full potency, anyway. The whole idea of “safety” in the cancer industry is to find new ways to protect the health care workers from the extremely dangerous chemicals they’re still injecting into the bodies of patients. Something is clearly wrong with this picture… if health care workers need to be protected from this stuff, why not protect the patients from it, too?

Nobody Ever Died From Handling Herbs

In contrast to all this, consider the truthful observation that no naturopath ever died from handling medicinal herb, homeopathy remedies or nutritional supplements. These natural therapies are good for patients, and as a bonus, you don’t have to wear a chemical suit to handle them.
Furthermore, medicinal herbs, supplements and natural remedies don’t cause cancer. They support and protect the immune system rather than destroying it. So they make patients healthier and more resilient rather than weaker and fragile. But herbs, supplements and natural remedies don’t earn much money for the cancer industry. Only the highly-toxic patented chemotherapy drugs bring in the big bucks. So that’s what they deal in — poison for the patients. And when you deal in poison, some of it always splashes back onto you.

Chemotherapy Doesn’t Work

Beyond this whole issue of pharmacists and health care workers dying from exposure to secondhand chemotherapy, there’s the issue of whether chemotherapy actually works in the first place. Scientifically speaking, if you take a good, hard look at what the published studies actually say, chemotherapy is only effective at treating less than two percent of the cancers that exist. And that two percent does not include breast cancer or prostate cancer.Yet chemotherapy is routinely used to “treat” breast cancer even though it offers no benefit to breast cancer patients. In effect, the cancer industry is engaged in a criminal treatment hoax that promises to make you healthier but actually gives you even more cancer — which is great for repeat business, but terrible for the cancer patients who suffer under it. The level of quackery at work right now in the cancer industry is simply astonishing. You would think that if doctors and pharmacists were dishing out these chemicals to patients, they would make sure there was some sort of legitimate science to back them up. But they haven’t. The science doesn’t exist. Chemotherapy doesn’t work at anything other than causing cancer — and it accomplishes that indiscriminately, damaging any person it comes into contact with. Merely touching chemotherapy chemicals is dangerous for your health. So if you’re considering chemotherapy for yourself, think about this long and hard: If chemotherapy is so dangerous that it’s giving the pharmacists cancer just from touching it, why on earth would you want to inject it into your body? This is not an idle question. It is perhaps the most important question of all for someone considering conventional cancer treatment using chemotherapy. The question is essentially this: If chemotherapy causes cancer, how can it treat cancer?
Treating cancer with chemotherapy is like treating alcoholism with vodka. It’s like treating heart disease with cheese, or like treating diabetes with high-fructose corn syrup. Cancer cannot be cured by the very thing that causes it. If you’re a cancer patient, I urge you to think twice about the toxicity of anything you might allow in your body. If you are trying to HEAL your body, why would you allow yourself to be poisoned with a chemical that causes cancer? Don’t let some cancer doctor talk you into chemotherapy using his fear tactics. They’re good at that. So next time he insists that you take some chemotherapy, ask him to drink some first. If your oncologist isn’t willing to drink chemotherapy in front of you to prove it’s safe, why on earth would you agree to have it injected in your body?
