Bitter melon for diseases
Bitter melon is loved in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), so much so that Li Shizhen (1518-1593), who was one of the greatest pioneers in TCM as a doctor, scientist, herbalist and acupuncturist in history, named bitter melon as the number one melon on earth.
Bitter melon can expel evil heat, sharpen vision, improve Liver function, promote Heart health and expel toxic effects in the body. Western science has confirmed its capabilities in regulating metabolism, controlling viral diseases, and being especially beneficial to those who suffer from diabetes because it is able to reduce the body's Blood sugar levels.
I love to sauté mine with garlic and fermented black beans and combine with rice noodles. I like to add olive oil and salt. Also sliced very thin and make egg omelette is yummy.
With the children, to ensure mine eat it, I sauté it with carrots as the sweet taste of carrots neutralises the strong bitter taste.

THE PROCESS AND FORMATION OF VITAMIN D IN THE BODY...
www.integhijama.com
It is well established that sunshine is a significant source of vitamin D as UVB rays from sunlight trigger vitamin D3 manufacture in the skin.
The sun's ultraviolet B (UVB) rays hit cholesterol in the skin cells, providing the energy for vitamin D synthesis to occur.
Vitamin D is synthesized in the body in a series of steps. First, sunlight's ultraviolet rays act on a precursor compound in skin. When skin is exposed to sunlight, a sterol present in dermal tissue is converted to vitamin D, which, in turn, is metabolized in the liver and kidneys to form a hormone.
Large amounts of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) are made in your skin when you expose all of your body to summer sun
It takes about 7 days for cholecalciferol to be converted into vitamin D3

How can we make sure we support our system to relieve anxiety?
Nutrition: pay attention to the food you are consuming. Anxiety is tied to your gut, to your Stomach and Spleen function. The weaker those organ systems are, the easier it is to feel worried. Eat to nourish yourself as much as you can. Try out new recipes and cook with love. Make sure you are receiving adequate amounts of magnesium, zinc, vitamin B, C, D and a good dose of probiotics.
Sweating: make exercise, stretching, and sweating priority. If you feel stagnant make sure your lymphatic system is supported by dry brushing, gua sha, or jump rope. If you are lucky enough to have a sauna or infrared blanket use them. A hot detox bath can also create a good sweat. Get creative and get flowing. Don't overexert yourself however, practice more regularly at a moderate level rather than going too hard. Too much exertion taxes your vital energy.
Relax: take some time away from screens and read, write, practice Qigong and play. Meditate, pray and don't give up on it. The more trouble you may have meditating or concentrating on prayer is only more evidence that you need it.
Spring clean: de-cluttering, organising and cleaning can be your greatest friend during this time. If you do these things in a mindful manor, you will feel in control and calm. Spring is all about the new, the resurgence of energy, and the more in harmony you are with nature, the more supported and grounded you will feel.
Connect with nature: speaking of nature, it's a good time to marvel at the wondrous planet we inhabit. Read more happy stories and connect with the sun and moon daily. If you can stargaze at a night for several minutes, that will enhance your sleep and mental state.
Herbs: use herbal formulas passed down from the sages to support you. Spleen tinctures helps anxiety, depression, fear and Stomach imbalances by boosting your Shen which is like your Spirit. Huang Qi (astragalus extract) helps overall immunity, pathogens, and our vital energy by nourishing, supplementing, and strengthening the body.
Connect: reach out to loved ones and take part in positive and uplifting conversations. There is enough negativity going around, no need to also talk more about it. You want to raise your vibration, not bring it down. Talk to people that make you feel supported and loved.

Painful Periods V Ginger
Several recent studies have shown that ingesting ginger during the first few days of menstruation can reduce the severity of menstrual cramps.
Collectively these Randomised Clinical Trials provide suggestive evidence for the effectiveness of 750-2000mg (.75-2grams) of ginger powder during the first 3-4 days of menstrual cycle for primary dysmenorrhoea.
Primary dysmenorrhoea refers to common menstrual cramps, and pelvic pain with menstruation, with common causes such as heavy flow, passing clots, uterine fibroids or endometriosis.
Another study done compared of the effect of vitamin E, vitamin D and ginger. This single-blind clinical trial was conducted in 2016 on students aged 18 to 25 years who complained of mild to severe dysmenorrhoea. The participants were randomly assigned into 4 groups: vitamin D, vitamin E, ginger and placebo.
Vitamin D, vitamin E, and ginger significantly reduced the severity of dysmenorrhoea, with ginger having the most significant effect followed by vitamin D and vitamin E.
Ginger works against menstrual cramps because of its ability to decrease inflammation by inhibiting the body's production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are a class of pro-inflammatory chemicals involved in triggering the muscle contractions that help the uterus shed its lining, cramps appear to be linked to excessive production of prostaglandins.

Cytokine storm and curcumin
The end stage of virus infections often correlates with the onset of a cytokine storm. This uncontrolled release of pro-inflammatory cytokines by the body’s immune system involves more than 150 known inflammatory mediators. There are many factors involved in the progression of what begins as a healthy immune response to a state of amplified cytokine production.
Cytokines signal immune cells such as T-cells and macrophages to travel to the site of infection when the immune system is fighting a pathogen. This signaling activates those cells, stimulating them to produce more cytokines. The feedback loop is normally managed efficiently by the body, but in some cases the process becomes unregulated, with too many immune cells activating in a single location.
This exaggerated immune response could be attributed to the body encountering a new, highly pathogenic attacker. Cytokine storms have the potential to cause significant damage to various tissues and organs. For example, if a cytokine storm occurs in the Lungs, macrophages and fluids may accumulate, eventually obstructing the airways.
A study looked at how curcumin influences cytokine release and cytokine storm. The article reported on the effects of curcumin on cytokine expression in a mouse model of virus-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome. The authors stated: “Curcumin blocks cytokine release most importantly the key pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 interleukin-6 & tumor necrosis factor-α. The suppression of cytokine release by curcumin correlates with clinical improvement in experimental models of disease conditions where a cytokine storm plays a significant role in mortality.” The research team concluded that curcumin may offer support to those experiencing cytokine storms.

EDEMA (Fluid Retention)
The most likely cause of edema is low potassium.
Explanation:
This condition can be caused by dysfunction in four different organs/glands:
1. Liver
2. Kidney
3. Heart
4. Adrenals
A lack of potassium can also lead to edema. Our diet typically requires a significant amount of potassium (4700 mg), which is equivalent to 7-10 cups of vegetables per day.
In fact, we need four times more potassium than sodium. However, most diets reverse this ratio and take in four times as much sodium as potassium, leading to high blood pressure. Potassium acts as a natural diuretic, releasing fluid from the body.
The adrenals serve as the backup organ to the heart. When the heart is weak, the adrenals become involved in keeping fluid out of the ankles.
Usually, if the liver is involved, the swelling will be in the right ankle, and the heart will produce fluid in the left ankle.
Diet:
First, consume a lot of vegetables (7-10 cups) to see if your problem is due to potassium deficiency.
When consuming salt, make sure it is sea salt and not table salt. Avoid fast food and food with MSG. MSG is a hidden source of sodium.
To determine which organ is affected, you could visit your doctor and get some lab tests. Alternatively, you could observe whether you have other symptoms related to a specific organ/gland and then attempt to support it with nutrition.
Other foods that act to remove excess fluid from the body are watermelon juice (including the rind), asparagus, dandelion, and parsley.

Best times to take vitamins
I don’t condone all synthetic vitamins and supplements whether off the pharmacy shelves, naturopath or anywhere. There is no doubt in my mind the best way to get all of your vitamins and minerals through food. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with this, so it is necessary to supplement. And beyond figuring out what vitamins and minerals you need to add to your diet, another question is what is the best time to take them? Is it best to toss them down your thing first thing in the morning with your glass of orange juice or better to supplement before sleep? These are things doctors and your naturopaths cannot answer as they don’t know themselves.
It depends what type of vitamin you are taking. Different types of vitamins should be taken at different times depending on what you are or aren’t eating and how your body may be able to digest them. Here’s a breakdown:
Black seed oil: 1 teaspoon first thing in the morning on an empty Stomach.
Fat soluble vitamins: the optimal time to take fat-soluble vitamins is with your evening meal. Fat-soluble vitamins are dissolved in our bodies using fats. They are then carried into our bloodstream and perform essential functions. Fat soluble vitamins include: vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin E, and vitamin D. For vitamin D, you need to ensure that your Liver and Kidneys are fully functional for them to be able to synthesise the synthetics.
Water soluble vitamins: water-soluble vitamins absorb best on an empty stomach. That means taking them first thing in the morning, 30 minutes prior to eating, or two hours after a meal. Your body takes the amount of the vitamin it needs and flushes out the rest through urine. Water soluble vitamins include Vitamin C, all B vitamins, and folate (folic acid).
Prenatal vitamins: since prenatal vitamins are a multivitamin, taking them before lunch is an optimal time to absorb all that they contain. A good prenatal vitamin will include calcium, iron, and folic acid.
Iron: iron absorbs best on an empty stomach and can’t absorb properly if you’ve recently eaten dairy. Iron is absorbed better if you take it with a beverage that has vitamin C, such as orange juice.
B vitamins: for a good start to your day, take a B vitamin on an empty stomach when you first wake up in the morning. B vitamins are a special family of water-soluble vitamins that are energy-boosting and stress-busting.
Magnesium: magnesium confers a long list of benefits, from stronger bones and pain relief to heart health and better sleep. It's a good idea to take magnesium before bed since it can make you sleepy.
Fish oil: rich in healthy omega-3 fatty acids, fish oil can lower inflammation and help protect against heart disease. Unfortunately, fish oil can cause belching. Pro tip: The best way to avoid this unpleasant side effect is to keep the supplements in the freezer and take them right before a meal, so they go down first. When frozen, fish oil supplements go down further in your system before your body can digest them and they are less likely to cause belching.
Calcium: if you are taking calcium each day to keep your bones strong, split the dose in two and take half in the morning and the other half in the evening. High doses tend to spike calcium levels in the blood and are then excreted by the kidneys. This can cause problems in individuals at risk for kidney stones.
Probiotics: some are best taken with food and some without food. It depends on the probiotic and the way it is encapsulated. It is best to read the instructions on your probiotic of choice.
If you have a sensitive Stomach, supplements are best taken 1-2 hours after meals.
Note: please take synthetics at your own risk as no one is liable later in life when your body especially organs become sick.

Natural Home Remedies for Fibroids.
Fibroids, also called uterine leiomyomas, are extremely common non-cancerous muscular tumors of the uterus. About 80 percent of women develop this problem by the age of 50.
The exact cause of uterine fibroids is still not known. Factors like genetics, abnormalities in the blood vessel or vascular system, hormones and other growth factors play an important role in the development of fibroids.
The problem is more common in obese and
African-American women. Women who have never given birth to a child or who had their first menstrual cycle before age 10 also are considered more at risk of fibroids.
Most women with fibroids have no symptoms.
However, some women experience symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, prolonged menstrual periods, pelvic pressure and pain, bladder problems, rectal pressure and lower back pain .
Uterine fibroids are usually not dangerous, but can cause immense discomfort and lead to complications like anemia from heavy blood loss. In rare cases, they may cause complications that affect pregnancy.
In cases where there are no symptoms, treatment may not be necessary. However, proper diagnosis and treatment may be required if your symptoms are severe or causing complications. Along with conventional treatment, you can try some natural home remedies.
Note: Most herbal remedies, including chasteberry and milk thistle are not recommended during pregnancy and nursing, so consult your doctor before taking them.
#10 Natural Home Remedies for Fibroids
1. Castor Oil Pack.
Applying a castor oil pack on the abdomen helps stimulate the lymphatic and circulatory systems, and increases lymphocytes (disease-fighting cells) to eliminate disease-causing toxins from the body. Many holistic practitioners believe a buildup of these toxins plays an important role in fibroid development.
Castor oil also contains ricinoleic acid with anti-inflammatory properties. The following remedy may help shrink fibroids and also aid in pain relief.
A. Saturate a piece of wool flannel in castor oil.
B. Place it on your abdomen and cover it with a plastic wrap.
C. Place a heating pad or hot water bottle on it and cover that with an old towel.
D. Leave it on for about one hour, and then remove it.
E. Repeat three or four times a week for at least one month, or until you see improvement.
Note: Do not use this remedy during menstruation or if you are trying to conceive .
2. Chasteberry
Chasteberry, also known as Vitex agnus-castus, is native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean areas. It is an excellent herbal solution to maintain hormonal balance, lower estrogen levels and reduce inflammation.
Simply take 25 to 30 drops of chasteberry tincture two to four times a day.
Note: Chasteberry will help regulate menstruation and bleeding between periods, but may also reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills.
3. Milk Thistle
This herbal remedy helps metabolize and get rid of excess estrogen. Estrogen is a reproductive hormone that stimulates cells to release growth factors, which in turn contributes to fibroid growth. Simply take 10 to
25 drops of a tincture of this herb up to three times a day for three to four months.
4. Dandelion
Many herbalists believe that poor liver function leading to poor elimination of excess hormones contributes to fibroids. Dandelion
aids in liver detoxification and clearing excess estrogen from your body.

B. Let it simmer for 15 minutes.
C. Turn off the heat, and allow it to steep for another 15 minutes before straining it.

5. Green Tea.
Studies indicate that green tea contains a compound called Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) that inhibits growth of fibroid cells, eventually increasing their death rate.
Fibroids, also called uterine leiomyomas, are extremely common non-cancerous muscular tumors of the uterus. About 80 percent of women develop this problem by the age of 50.
The exact cause of uterine fibroids is still not known. Factors like genetics, abnormalities in the blood vessel or vascular system, hormones and other growth factors play an important role in the development of fibroids.
The problem is more common in obese and
African-American women. Women who have never given birth to a child or who had their first menstrual cycle before age 10 also are considered more at risk of fibroids.
Most women with fibroids have no symptoms.
However, some women experience symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, prolonged menstrual periods, pelvic pressure and pain, bladder problems, rectal pressure and lower back pain .
Uterine fibroids are usually not dangerous, but can cause immense discomfort and lead to complications like anemia from heavy blood loss. In rare cases, they may cause complications that affect pregnancy.
In cases where there are no symptoms, treatment may not be necessary. However, proper diagnosis and treatment may be required if your symptoms are severe or causing complications. Along with conventional treatment, you can try some natural home remedies.
Note: Most herbal remedies, including chasteberry and milk thistle are not recommended during pregnancy and nursing, so consult your doctor before taking them.
