The Unknown War - Ο άγνωστος πόλεμος

Η πανδημία ανέδειξε έναν άλλο άγνωστο πόλεμο με την αρρώστια και τα μικρόβια, πόλεμο ζωής αρχέγονο που αγνοούμε κάποτε ή δεν θέλουμε να ξέρουμε τον οποίο καθημερινά κερδίζουμε και κάποτε θα χάσουμε οριστικά αλλά ίσως όχι για πάντα ή τα πάντα... Ο πόλεμος αυτός μαίνεται σαν καθημερινότητα για κάποιους άλλους και κάποιοι από εμάς τον βιώσαμε σαν προσωπική εμπειρία ή συνοδεύοντας συγγενείς, αγαπημένους και φίλους σε τέτοια πεδία μάχης...

Είτε επιστρέψαμε όμως εμείς και οι δικοί μας είτε όχι από εκεί, ο Mark Knopfler των Dire Straits ξέρει διαβάζοντας τα αστέρια ή την παλάμη του χεριού μας ότι κάποια μέρα, αργά ή γρήγορα, με κάποιο τρόπο θα αφήσουμε αυτόν τον πόλεμο και τα αδέλφια μας (brothers) συμπολεμιστές με ένα τελευταίο αντίο (farewell to the arms) επιστρέφοντας στις αγκαλιές (arms) των λιβαδιών και φαρμών των άλλων μας αδελφών (brothers) που περιμένουν εκεί υπομονετικά ...

Dewy Cherries Jubilee Allamanda on my morning walk by Susan Ford Collins

22 36

I love the dreamy inner world of this delicious rose flower. It seems to pull me into its starry center as I try to pass it by. I'm captivated by the way the morning light creates translucent pink highlights, the rosy petals and golden connective holes. Here is a close up of the very center. www.flickr.com/photos/jungle_mama/4454252899/

A woody, evergreen shrub with vigorous growth, Allamanda may reach a free-standing height of 6 feet or more. The leathery leaves are lancelike, pointed, and may be opposite or in whorls of three or four. The large trumpet-shaped flowers may be yellow, white, purple, pink or orange. Their scent is delicate and fruity.

In the wild, Allamanda grows along riverbanks and open, sunny areas with adequate rainfall and perpetually moist substrate. The plants do not tolerate shade, salty or alkaline soils; they are highly sensitive to frost. Allamanda are otherwise undemanding and in appropriate conditions will grow rapidly, from 3 to 9 feet annually. The seed capsules are oval and prickly; cultivated forms rarely produce seeds, but Allamanda are easily propagated from cuttings. Discarded cuttings are quick to take root.

Allamanda have become naturalized throughout the tropics; they may be seen in roadside ditches, abandoned yards and dumps. As a controlling measure, cutting is ineffecive with Allamanda and will lead to vigorous coppicing ( reshooting from the stump or roots). Because of its fast growth, Allamanda has been introduced widely as a groundcover, for hedges and screens.

Yellow Allamanda cathartica is notable for its medicinal properties: all parts of the plant contain allamandin, a toxic iridoid lactone. The leaves, roots and flowers may be used in the preparation of a powerful cathartic. The milky sap is also known to possess antibacterial and possibly anticancer properties. Gardeners exposed to the sap will develop rashes, itc, and blisters.

Allamanda is named after Dr. Frederich Allamanda (1735-1803), a Swiss botanist of the late 18th century.

RAMAS DE TEJO Y SUS FRUTOS. by Nona Delgado

21 12

UN POCO DE INFORMACIÓN: (PORQUE E MUY ESTENSA)

Taxus baccata, el tejo común o tejo negro, es una especie del género Taxus originaria de Europa occidental, central y meridional.

Es una gimnosperma de la familia de las Taxáceas, grupo primitivo ampliamente difundido ya desde el Jurásico y del que actualmente el tejo es el único representante europeo.

ES UN ÁRBOL LLAMADO TAMBIÉN DE LA MUERTE POR SU TOXICIDAD.

CURIOSIDADES:

En la tradición y cultura asturiana, el tejo se consideraba vinculado a la tierra, a la gente, a los ancestros ya la religión antigua.

Era tradición en el Día de Todos los Santos llevar una rama de un árbol de tejo a las tumbas de aquellos que habían muerto recientemente para que fueran guiados en su regreso a la Tierra de las Sombras.

USO EN LA INDUSTRIA FARMACEUTICA:

De sus hojas se obtienen dos compuestos químicos:

Bacatina III

10-deacetilbaccatina III

Estos dos compuestos son precursores químicos que, mediante reacciones de semisíntesis, dan lugar al paclitaxel o taxol, un potente agente ANTICANCEROSO, el cual se obtiene también de la corteza de la especie Taxus brevifolia.

SN/NC: Medinilla Magnifica, Syn. Medinilla speciosa, Melastomataceae Family

Medinilla is a perennial epiphytic plant in the genus Medinilla of the family Melastomataceae. Medinilla is named for José de Medinilla y Pineda, who was governor of Mauritius (then known as the Marianne Islands) in 1820. Medinilla speciosa reaches on average a height of 45–60 centimetres (18–24 in). This evergreen shrub has woody branched stems and opposite leathery green leaves (up to 20 centimetres (7.9 in) long and 15 centimetres (5.9 in)wide, with prominent veins. The dainty small flowers are bright pink-colored and are produced in large panicles on pendant reddish stems. The flowering period extends from early Summer to Fall. When the blooming is finished for about a month remains a raceme of showy berries, pending that the plant reflowers. These rounded fruits are at first pink and purple-blue when ripe (hence to common name of Showy Asian Grapes.) Other common names: Rose Grape, Showy Medinilla, Malaysian Orchid, Chandelier Tree, Kapa-kapa.

The plant is utilized as a traditional medicine, by boiling, brewing, or consuming it directly. The fruits are consumed by pregnant women as health supplement and also used as diarrhea, mouth sores, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antibacterial treatment. This plant occurs naturally in Borneo, Java and Philippines. In Borneo, the plant can be found at the Kinabalu in the Malaysian part of the island. It's distribution include peninsular Malaysia (Penang, Perak, Pahang, Selangor), Java, Sumatra, Lesser Sunda Isl. (Sumbawa, Lombok).

A medinila é uma planta arbustiva, de textura semi-lenhosa e florescimento ornamental. Seus ramos são quadrangulares, alados, frágeis, pouco ramificados e eretos. Eles crescem lentamente e podem atingir até 2 metros de altura. As folhas são sésseis, opostas, grandes, verde-escuras, cerosas, brilhantes e com nervuras claras e bem marcadas. As inflorescências pendentes, surgem na primavera e verão e são muito duráveis. Longas, elas chegam a 30 cm de comprimento, e apresentam brácteas e flores róseas dispostas em cachos, como se fossem uvas, o que lhe rendeu o nome popular "uva-rosa".

A medinila pode ser utilizada isolada ou em grupos. Ela é perfeita para compor conjuntos com outras plantas tropicais, como alpínias, helicônias, gengibres, formando suaves contrastes de texturas e cores. Por ser uma planta vistosa, mas ainda rara e exótica, causa impacto aos espectadores de sua beleza e tem sido utilizada em jardins contemporâneos e tropicais. Como seu crescimento é demasiado lento, ela necessita pouca manutenção e podas. Curiosamente, as medinilas são muitas vezes encontradas epífitas (sobre as árvores) nas Filipinas, seu local de origem. Seu nome é uma homenagem a José de Medinilla y Pineda, então Governador de Mauritius, (Anteriormente conhecida como Ilhas Marianas), em 1820.

Medinilla is een overblijvende epifytische plant van het geslacht Medinilla van de Melastomataceae-familie. Medinilla dankt zijn naam aan José de Medinilla y Pineda, die in 1820 gouverneur was van Mauritius (toen bekend als de Marianen). Medinilla speciosa bereikt een gemiddelde hoogte van 45-60 centimeter (18-24 inch). Deze groenblijvende struik heeft houtachtige vertakte stengels en tegenoverliggende leerachtige groene bladeren (tot 20 centimeter (7,9 inch) lang en 15 centimeter (5,9 inch) breed, met opvallende nerven. De kleine delicate bloemen zijn helderroze van kleur en zijn geproduceerd in grote pluimen op hangende roodachtige stengels. De bloeiperiode loopt van het begin van de zomer tot de herfst. Als de bloei ongeveer een maand is afgelopen, blijft er een tros van opzichtige bessen over, wachtend tot de plant weer bloeit. ronde vruchten zijn aanvankelijk roze en paarsblauw wanneer ze rijp zijn (vandaar de algemene naam van opzichtige Aziatische druiven.) Andere veel voorkomende namen: rozendruif, opzichtige medinilla, Maleisische orchidee, kroonluchterboom, kapa-kapa.De plant wordt gebruikt als traditionele geneeskunde, gekookt, vergist of direct geconsumeerd. De vruchten worden door zwangere vrouwen geconsumeerd als gezondheidssupplement en ook gebruikt als diarree, zweertjes in de mond, ontstekingsremmende, kankerbestrijdende en antibacteriële behandeling. Deze plant komt van nature voor op Borneo, Java en de Filippijnen. Op Borneo wordt de plant gevonden in Kinabalu op het Maleisische deel van het eiland. De distributie omvat het schiereiland Maleisië (Penang, Perak, Pahang, Selangor), Java, Sumatra, Lesser Sunda Isl. (Sumbawa, Lombok).

Medinilla هو نبات معمر معمر في جنس Medinilla من عائلة Melastomataceae. تم تسمية Medinilla على اسم José de Medinilla y Pineda، الذي كان حاكمًا لموريشيوس (المعروفة آنذاك باسم جزر ماريان) في عام 1820. يصل متوسط ارتفاع Medinilla speciosa إلى 45-60 سم (18-24 بوصة). تحتوي هذه الشجيرة دائمة الخضرة على سيقان خشبية متفرعة وأوراق خضراء جلدية متقابلة (يصل طولها إلى 20 سم (7.9 بوصة) وعرضها 15 سم (5.9 بوصة)، مع عروق بارزة. الزهور الصغيرة اللطيفة ذات لون وردي فاتح ويتم إنتاجها في عناقيد كبيرة. على سيقان ضاربة إلى الحمرة قلادة. تمتد فترة الإزهار من أوائل الصيف إلى الخريف. عند الانتهاء من الإزهار لمدة شهر تقريبًا تبقى مجموعة من التوت المبهرج، في انتظار إعادة إزهار النبات. هذه الثمار المستديرة تكون في البداية وردية وأرجواني-أزرق عندما تنضج (وبالتالي الاسم الشائع للعنب الآسيوي المبهرج.) الأسماء الشائعة الأخرى: العنب الوردي، ميدينيلا المبهرج، الأوركيد الماليزي، شجرة الثريا، كابا كابا.

يتم استخدام النبات كدواء تقليدي، وذلك عن طريق غليه أو تخميره أو تناوله مباشرة. تستهلك النساء الحوامل الثمار كمكمل صحي وتستخدم أيضًا كعلاج للإسهال وتقرحات الفم ومضادة للالتهابات ومضادة للسرطان وعلاج مضاد للبكتيريا. يتواجد هذا النبات بشكل طبيعي في بورنيو وجاوا والفلبين. في بورنيو، يمكن العثور على النبات في كينابالو في الجزء الماليزي من الجزيرة. يشمل توزيعها شبه جزيرة ماليزيا (بينانج، بيراك، باهانج، سيلانجور)، جافا، سومطرة، جزيرة سوندا الصغرى. (سومباوا في لومبوك).

メディニラは、メラストマ科メディニラ属の多年草着生植物です。メディニーリャの名前は、1820 年にモーリシャス (当時はマリアンヌ諸島として知られていた) の知事だったホセ・デ・メディニーリャ・イ・ピネダにちなんで命名されました。メディニーリャ・スペシオサの高さは平均 45 ～ 60 センチメートル (18 ～ 24 インチ) に達します。この常緑の低木は、木質で枝分かれした茎と、反対側の革のような緑色の葉 (長さ 20 センチメートル (7.9 インチ)、幅 15 センチメートル (5.9 インチ) までで、葉脈が目立つ) を持ちます。可憐な小さな花は明るいピンク色で、大きな円錐花序で咲きます。赤みを帯びた垂れ下がった茎に咲きます。開花期は初夏から秋まで続きます。開花が終わると約 1 か月間、華やかな果実の総状花序が残り、植物が再開花するまで続きます。これらの丸い果実は最初はピンク色で、熟すと紫がかった青になります。（したがって、派手なアジアンブドウの一般名が付けられました。）他の一般名：ローズグレープ、派手なメディニラ、マレーシアの蘭、シャンデリアツリー、カパカパ。

この植物は、煮たり、煎じたり、直接消費したりして、伝統的な薬として利用されています。果実は妊婦が健康補助食品として摂取するほか、下痢、口内炎、抗炎症、抗がん、抗菌治療にも使用されます。この植物はボルネオ島、ジャワ島、フィリピンに自生しています。ボルネオ島では、この植物は島のマレーシア部分のキナバルで見られます。分布にはマレーシア半島（ペナン、ペラ、パハン、セランゴール）、ジャワ、スマトラ、小スンダ島が含まれます。（スンバワ島、ロンボク島）。

是一种灌木状植物，具有半木质的质地和观赏性开花的特点。其茎干呈四棱形，带翅状结构，质地脆弱，分枝较少且直立生长。植株生长缓慢，最高可达2米。叶片无柄，对生，大型，呈深绿色，表面具蜡质，光泽明显，叶脉清晰且颜色较浅。

花序下垂，于春夏季开放，持久性极佳。花序长度可达30厘米，由粉红色的苞片和花朵组成，排列成簇状，形似葡萄串，因此得俗名“粉红葡萄”。

美丁花可单独种植或群植，非常适合与其他热带植物（如艳山姜、赫蕉、姜花等）搭配，营造柔和的质感与色彩对比。因其外观醒目且仍属稀有异域植物，观赏时极具视觉冲击力，近年来广泛应用于现代园林和热带风格庭院。由于生长极为缓慢，它几乎不需要太多养护和修剪。

有趣的是，在美丁花的原产地菲律宾，它常以附生形式（生长于树上）出现。其属名“Medinilla”旨在致敬1820年时任毛里求斯（旧称马里亚纳群岛）总督的何塞·德·美丁尼拉-皮内达（José de Medinilla y Pineda）。

Sanguinaria canadensis

Excerpts from "Peterson Field Guides, Eastern/Central Medicinal Plants:"

"The blood-red fresh root was used in minute doses as an appetite stimulant; in larger doses as an arterial sedative. Formerly, the root was used as an ingredient in cough medicines. American Indians used root tea for rheumatism, asthma, bronchitis, lung ailments, laryngitis, fevers; also as an emetic. Root use applied to warts, also used as a dye and as a decorative skin stain....

...Experimentally, the alkaloid sanguinarine has shown antiseptic, anesthetic, and anticancer activity. It is used commercially as a plaque-inhibiting agent in toothpaste, mouthwashes and rinses.

Warning: Toxic. Do not ingest."

Looking into throat of yellow Allamanda by Susan Ford Collins

11 33

A woody, evergreen shrub with vigorous growth, Allamanda may reach a free-standing height of 6 feet or more. The leathery leaves are lancelike, pointed, and may be opposite or in whorls of three or four. The large trumpet-shaped flowers may be yellow, white, purple, pink or orange. Their scent is delicate and fruity.

In the wild, Allamanda grows along riverbanks and open, sunny areas with adequate rainfall and perpetually moist substrate. The plants do not tolerate shade, salty or alkaline soils; they are highly sensitive to frost. Allamanda are otherwise undemanding and grow rapidly, from 3 to 9 feet annually, in appropriate conditions. The seed capsules are oval and prickly; cultivated forms rarely produce seeds, but Allamanda are easily propagated from cuttings. Discarded cuttings are quick to take root.

Allamanda have become naturalized throughout the tropics. They may be seen in roadside ditches, abandoned yards and dumps. As a controlling measure, cutting is ineffective with Allamanda and will lead to vigorous coppicing ( reshooting from the stump or roots). Because of its fast growth, Allamanda has been introduced widely as a groundcover, for hedges and screens.

Yellow Allamanda cathartica is notable for its medicinal properties: all parts of the plant contain allamandin, a toxic iridoid lactone. The leaves, roots and flowers may be used in the preparation of a powerful cathartic. The milky sap is also known to possess antibacterial and possibly anticancer properties. Gardeners exposed to the sap will develop rashes and blisters.

Allamanda is named after Dr. Frederich Allamanda (1735-1803), a Swiss botanist of the late 18th century.

Wild Bitter Melon (Momordica charantia) by CameliaTWU

37 8

Belize flora

Momordica is a genus of about 60 species of annual or perennial climbers herbaceous or rarely small shrubs belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae, natives of tropical and subtropical Africa and Asia and Australia. Most species produce floral oils and are visited by specialist pollinators in the apid tribe Ctenoplectrini.

Momordica charantia is native to Africa but has been used in Chinese folk medicine for centuries as a 'bitter, cold' herb, and has recently been brought into mainstream Chinese medicine as well as natural medical traditions around the world. Recent research has shown that the immature fruit might have some antibiotic, anticancer, and antiviral properties, particularly well suited for use in treatment of malaria, HIV, and diabetic conditions.

Escher Style Mandelbrot Vegetable Fractals by Chic Bee

Here we see the fractal pattern of Romanesco broccoli, a variant form of cauliflower. The fractal arrangement of the florets in this vegetable's head is amazing!!

As you move your cursor over the photo, you will see the three frames aka notes that I have added to show three sections of the broccoli that are similar to the next larger size (where it exists, of course.)

Romanesco broccoli exhibits "self similarity" characteristic of fractals in mathematics. It also exhibits "scale Invariance" ... Any smaller section of this head of broccoli has the same shapes and patterns as a larger section To me, that is so amazing!!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-similar

In mathematics, a self-similar object is exactly or approximately similar to a part of itself (i.e. the whole has the same shape as one or more of the parts). Many objects in the real world, such as coastlines, are statistically self-similar: parts of them show the same statistical properties at many scales.[2] Self-similarity is a typical property of fractals.

Scale invariance is an exact form of self-similarity where at any magnification there is a smaller piece of the object that is similar to the whole. For instance, a side of the Koch snowflake is both symmetrical and scale-invariant; it can be continually magnified 3x without changing shape.

The non-trivial similarity evident in fractals is distinguished by their fine structure, or detail on arbitrarily small scales. As a counterexample, whereas any portion of a straight line may resemble the whole, further detail is not revealed.

Cauliflower is one of several vegetables in the species Brassica oleracea, in the family Brassicaceae. It is an annual plant that reproduces by seed. Typically, only the head (the white curd) is eaten. The cauliflower head is composed of a white inflorescence meristem. Cauliflower heads resemble those in broccoli, which differs in having flower buds.

Its name is from Latin caulis (cabbage) and flower,.[1] Brassica oleracea also includes cabbage, brussels sprouts, kale, broccoli, and collard greens, though they are of different cultivar groups.

For such a highly modified plant, cauliflower has a long history. François Pierre La Varenne employed chouxfleurs in Le cuisinier françois.[2] They were introduced to France from Genoa in the 16th century, and are featured in Olivier de Serres' Théâtre de l'agriculture (1600), as cauli-fiori "as the Italians call it, which are still rather rare in France; they hold an honorable place in the garden because of their delicacy",[3] but they did not commonly appear on grand tables until the time of Louis XIV.[4]

Classification and identification[edit]

Major groups

There are four major groups of cauliflower.[5]

Italian

Diverse in appearance, and biennial and annual in type, this group includes white, Romanesco, various green, purple, brown and yellow cultivars. This type is the ancestral form from which the others were derived.

Northwest European biennial

Used in Europe for winter and early spring harvest, this was developed in France in the 19th century, and includes the old cultivars Roscoff and Angers.

Northern European annuals

Used in Europe and North America for summer and fall harvest, it was developed in Germany in the 18th century, and includes the old cultivars Erfurt and Snowball.

Asian

A tropical cauliflower used in China and India, it was developed in India during the 19th century from the now-abandoned Cornish type,[6] and includes old varieties Early Patna and Early Benaras.

Varieties

There are hundreds of historic and current commercial varieties used around the world. A comprehensive list of about 80 North American varieties is maintained at North Carolina State University.[7]

Colors

White

White cauliflower is the most common color of cauliflower.

Orange

Orange cauliflower (B. oleracea L. var. botrytis) contains 25% more vitamin A than white varieties.[8] This trait came from a natural mutant found in a cauliflower field in Canada.[9] Cultivars include 'Cheddar' and 'Orange Bouquet'.

Green

Green cauliflower, of the B. oleracea botrytis group, is sometimes called broccoflower. It is available both with the normal curd shape and a variant spiky curd called Romanesco broccoli. Both types have been commercially available in the U.S. and Europe since the early 1990s. Green-curded varieties include 'Alverda', 'Green Goddess' and 'Vorda'. Romanesco varieties include 'Minaret' and 'Veronica'.

Purple

The purple color in this cauliflower is caused by the presence of the antioxidant group anthocyanins, which can also be found in red cabbage and red wine.[10] Varieties include 'Graffiti' and 'Purple Cape'. In Great Britain and southern Italy, a broccoli with tiny flower buds is sold as a vegetable under the name "purple cauliflower". It is not the same as standard cauliflower with a purple curd.

Nutrition

Cauliflower is low in fat, low in carbohydrates but high in dietary fiber, folate, water, and vitamin C, possessing a high nutritional density.[11]

Cauliflower contains several phytochemicals, common in the cabbage family, that may be beneficial to human health.

Sulforaphane, a compound released when cauliflower is chopped or chewed, may protect against cancer.

Other glucosinolates

Carotenoids[11]

Indole-3-carbinol, a chemical that enhances DNA repair,[12][13] and acts as an estrogen antagonist,[14] slowing the growth of cancer cells.

Boiling reduces the levels of these compounds, with losses of 20–30% after five minutes, 40–50% after ten minutes, and 75% after thirty minutes.[15] However, other preparation methods, such as steaming, microwaving, and stir frying, have no significant effect on the compounds.[15]

A high intake of cauliflower has been associated with reduced risk of aggressive prostate cancer.[16]

Cooking

Aloo gobi, an Indian dish prepared with cauliflower and potato

Cauliflower can be roasted, boiled, fried, steamed, or eaten raw. Steaming or microwaving better preserves anticancer compounds than boiling.[15] When cooking, the outer leaves and thick stalks are removed, leaving only the florets. The leaves are also edible, but are most often discarded.[17] The florets should be broken into similar-sized pieces so they are cooked evenly. After eight minutes of steaming, or five minutes of boiling, the florets should be soft, but not mushy (depending on size). Stirring while cooking can break the florets into smaller, uneven pieces.

Low carbohydrate dieters can use cauliflower as a reasonable substitute for potatoes or rice; while they can produce a similar texture, or mouth feel, they lack the starch of the originals.

Fractal Dimension

Fractal pattern of Romanesco broccoli, a variant form of cauliflower

Cauliflower has been noticed by mathematicians for its distinct fractal dimension,[18][19] predicted to be about 2.8.[20]

History

The first reliable reference to cauliflower is found in the writings of the Arab Muslim scientists Ibn al-'Awwam and Ibn al-Baitar, in the 12th and 13th centuries.[21]

SN/NC: Euphorbia Tirucalli, Euphorbiaceae Family

Euphorbia tirucalli (commonly known as aveloz, Indian tree spurge, naked lady, pencil tree, pencil cactus, milk bush) is a tree that grows in semi-aridtropical climates. The milky latex from E. tirucalli is extremely irritating to the skin and mucosa and is toxic. Exposure to it can cause blindness. Skin contact causes severe irritation, redness and a burning sensation. If ingested, it can cause burns to the mouth, lips and tongue. It is suggested to wear eye protection gear and gloves for handling the plant. Euphorbia tirucalli is used as alternative medicine in many cultures. Attempts have been made to use it to treat cancer, excrescence, tumors, warts, asthma, cough, earache, neuralgia, rheumatism, and toothaches in countries including Brazil, India, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Euphorbia tirucalli has been promoted as an anticancer agent, but research shows that it suppresses the immune system, promotes tumor growth, and leads to the development of certain types of cancer. Euphorbia tirucalli has also been associated with Burkitt's lymphoma and is thought to be a cofactor of the disease rather than a treatment.Its latex can also be used as fuel. This led chemist Melvin Calvin to propose the exploitation of E. tirucalli for producing oil. This usage is particularly appealing because of the ability of E. tirucalli to grow on land that is not suitable for most other crops. Calvin estimated that 10 to 50 barrels of oil per acre was achievable. In the 1980s the Brazilian national petroleum company Petrobras began experiments based these ideas. It has also been used in the production of rubber, but neither have been very successful.

Euphorbia tirucalli (algemeen bekend als aveloz, Indische boomwolf, naakte dame, potloodboom, potloodcactus, melkstruik) is een boom die groeit in semi-aridtropische klimaten. De melkachtige latex van E. tirucalli is extreem irriterend voor de huid en het slijmvlies en is giftig. Blootstelling eraan kan blindheid veroorzaken. Contact met de huid veroorzaakt ernstige irritatie, roodheid en een branderig gevoel. Bij inslikken kan het brandwonden aan mond, lippen en tong veroorzaken. Er wordt aangeraden oogbescherming en handschoenen te dragen bij het hanteren van de plant. Euphorbia tirucalli wordt in veel culturen gebruikt als alternatief medicijn. Er zijn pogingen gedaan om het te gebruiken voor de behandeling van kanker, uitwas, tumoren, wratten, astma, hoest, oorpijn, neuralgie, reuma en tandpijn in landen als Brazilië, India, Indonesië en Maleisië. Euphorbia tirucalli is gepromoot als middel tegen kanker, maar onderzoek toont aan dat het het immuunsysteem onderdrukt, de tumorgroei bevordert en leidt tot de ontwikkeling van bepaalde soorten kanker

Euphorbia tirucalli (vulgarmente conhecida como aveloz, surto de árvore indiano, mulher nua, lápis, cacto de lápis, arbusto de leite) é uma árvore que cresce em climas semi-áridos. O látex leitoso de E. tirucalli é extremamente irritante para a pele e mucosa e é tóxico. Exposição a ele pode causar cegueira. O contato com a pele causa irritação severa, vermelhidão e sensação de queimação. Se ingerido, pode causar queimaduras na boca, lábios e língua. Sugere-se usar luvas e equipamentos de proteção ocular para manusear a planta. Euphorbia tirucalli é usada como medicina alternativa em muitas culturas. Foram feitas tentativas para usá-lo no tratamento de câncer, excrescência, tumores, verrugas, asma, tosse, dor de ouvido, neuralgia, reumatismo e dores de dente em países como Brasil, Índia, Indonésia e Malásia. O Euphorbia tirucalli foi promovido como um agente anticâncer, mas a pesquisa mostra que suprime o sistema imunológico, promove o crescimento do tumor e leva ao desenvolvimento de certos tipos de câncer. Assim que é todo o contrário. Também a Petrobras tentou plantá-lo como alternativa para extrair o látex e competir com a seringueira, mas foi um fracasso.

El látex lechoso de E. tirucalli es extremadamente irritante para la piel y la mucosa y es tóxico. La exposición al mismo puede causar ceguera. El contacto con la piel causa irritación severa, enrojecimiento y una sensación de ardor. Si se ingiere, puede causar quemaduras en la boca, labios y lengua. Se sugiere usar guantes y equipo de protección ocular para manejar la planta. Euphorbia tirucalli se usa como medicina alternativa en muchas culturas. Se han hecho intentos para usarlo para tratar el cáncer, el sobre crecimiento, los tumores, las verrugas, el asma, la tos, el dolor de oído, la neuralgia, el reumatismo y el dolor de muelas en países como Brasil, India, Indonesia y Malasia. La euforbia tirucalli ha sido promovida como un agente anticancerígeno, pero la investigación muestra que suprime el sistema inmunitario, promueve el crecimiento tumoral y conduce al desarrollo de ciertos tipos de cáncer. Entonces es todo lo contrario. Petrobras también trató de plantarlo como una alternativa para extraer el látex y competir con el árbol del caucho, pero fue un fracaso.

Euphorbia tirucalli (communément appelé aveloz, euphorbe indien, dame nue, arbre à crayon, cactus à crayon, buisson de lait) est un arbre qui pousse dans les climats semi-arid tropicaux. Le latex laiteux d'E. Tirucalli est extrêmement irritant pour la peau et les muqueuses et est toxique. L'exposition à celui-ci peut provoquer la cécité. Le contact avec la peau provoque une irritation sévère, des rougeurs et une sensation de brûlure. En cas d'ingestion, il peut provoquer des brûlures sur la bouche, les lèvres et la langue. Il est suggéré d'utiliser des gants et un équipement de protection des yeux pour manipuler la plante. Euphorbia tirucalli est utilisé comme médecine alternative dans de nombreuses cultures. Des tentatives ont été faites pour l'utiliser pour traiter le cancer, la prolifération, les tumeurs, les verrues, l'asthme, la toux, les maux d'oreille, la névralgie, les rhumatismes et les maux de dents dans des pays comme le Brésil, l'Inde, l'Indonésie et la Malaisie. Euphorbia tirucalli a été promu comme agent anticancéreux, mais la recherche montre qu'il supprime le système immunitaire, favorise la croissance tumorale et conduit au développement de certains types de cancer. C'est donc l'inverse. Petrobras a également essayé de le planter comme alternative pour extraire le latex et rivaliser avec l'hévéa, mais ce fut un échec.

Euphorbia tirucalli (allgemein bekannt als Aveloz, indischer Wolfsmilch, nackte Frau, Bleistiftbaum, Bleistiftkaktus, Milchbusch) ist ein Baum, der in semi-aridtropischen Klimazonen wächst. Milchlatex von E. tirucalli reizt Haut und Schleimhaut extrem und ist giftig. Die Einwirkung kann zur Erblindung führen. Hautkontakt verursacht starke Reizungen, Rötungen und ein brennendes Gefühl. Bei Verschlucken kann es zu Verbrennungen an Mund, Lippen und Zunge kommen. Es wird empfohlen, Handschuhe und Augenschutzausrüstung zu verwenden, um die Pflanze zu handhaben. Euphorbia tirucalli wird in vielen Kulturen als alternative Medizin eingesetzt. In Ländern wie Brasilien, Indien, Indonesien und Malaysia wurde versucht, damit Krebs, Überwachsen, Tumore, Warzen, Asthma, Husten, Ohrenschmerzen, Neuralgie, Rheuma und Zahnschmerzen zu behandeln. Euphorbia tirucalli wurde als Antikrebsmittel beworben, aber die Forschung zeigt, dass es das Immunsystem unterdrückt, das Tumorwachstum fördert und zur Entwicklung bestimmter Krebsarten führt. Es ist also umgekehrt. Petrobras versuchte auch, es als Alternative zu pflanzen, um den Latex zu extrahieren und mit dem Gummibaum zu konkurrieren, aber es war ein Misserfolg.

L'euforbia tirucalli (comunemente noto come aveloz, euforbia indiana, donna nuda, albero a matita, cactus a matita, cespuglio di latte) è un albero che cresce in climi semi-aridtropici. Il lattice lattiginoso di E. tirucalli è estremamente irritante per la pelle e le mucose ed è tossico. L'esposizione ad essa può causare cecità. Il contatto con la pelle provoca grave irritazione, arrossamento e sensazione di bruciore. Se ingerito, può causare ustioni alla bocca, alle labbra e alla lingua. Si consiglia di utilizzare guanti e dispositivi di protezione degli occhi per gestire la pianta. L'euforbia tirucalli è usato come medicina alternativa in molte culture. Sono stati fatti tentativi per usarlo per trattare il cancro, la crescita eccessiva, i tumori, le verruche, l'asma, la tosse, il mal d'orecchi, la nevralgia, i reumatismi e il mal di denti in paesi come Brasile, India, Indonesia e Malesia. L'euforbia tirucalli è stata promossa come agente antitumorale, ma la ricerca mostra che sopprime il sistema immunitario, promuove la crescita del tumore e porta allo sviluppo di alcuni tipi di cancro. Quindi è tutto il contrario. Petrobras ha anche provato a piantarlo come alternativa per estrarre il lattice e competere con l'albero della gomma, ma è stato un fallimento.

Euphorbia tirucalli (commonly known as aveloz, Indian tree spurge, naked lady, pencil tree, pencil cactus, milk bush) is a tree that grows in semi-arid tropical climates. A hydrocarbon plant, it produces a poisonous latex that can cause blindness.

Euphorbia tirucalli（俗称：绿玉树、印度树 spurge、光棍树、铅笔树、铅笔仙人掌、牛奶灌木）是一种生长在半干旱气候中的树木。绿玉树的乳白色汁液对皮肤和黏膜有极强的刺激性，且具有毒性。接触眼睛可能导致失明。皮肤接触会引起严重刺激、红肿和灼烧感。若误食，可能导致口腔、嘴唇和舌头灼伤。建议在处理该植物时佩戴手套和护目设备。

绿玉树在许多文化中被用作替代药物。在巴西、印度、印度尼西亚和马来西亚等国，人们曾尝试用它来治疗癌症、赘生物、肿瘤、疣、哮喘、咳嗽、耳痛、神经痛、风湿和牙痛。

绿玉树曾被宣传为一种抗癌剂，但研究表明它会抑制免疫系统，促进肿瘤生长，并导致某些癌症的发生。因此其作用恰恰相反。此外，巴西国家石油公司（Petrobras）曾尝试种植它，以作为橡胶树的替代品来提取乳胶，但最终未能成功。

ユーフォルビア・ティルカリ（一般名：アベロス、インディアンツリースパージ、ミルブッシュ、エンピツボク、エンピツサボテン、ミルクブッシュ）は、半乾燥気候で育つ樹木です。E. tirucalli の乳白色のラテックスは、皮膚や粘膜に対して極めて刺激性が強く、毒性があります。目に入ると失明を引き起こす可能性があります。皮膚に接触すると、重度の炎症、赤み、灼熱感を引き起こします。摂取した場合、口、唇、舌に火傷のような症状を引き起こすことがあります。植物を扱う際は手袋と保護眼具の使用が推奨されます。

ユーフォルビア・ティルカリは、多くの文化で代替医療として使用されています。ブラジル、インド、インドネシア、マレーシアなどの国々では、癌、贅肉、腫瘍、疣贅、喘息、咳、耳痛、神経痛、リウマチ、歯痛の治療に使用する試みがなされてきました。

ユーフォルビア・ティルカリは抗がん剤として宣伝されましたが、研究によれば、それは免疫システムを抑制し、腫瘍の成長を促進し、特定のがんの発症につながることが示されています。つまり、全く逆の作用を持つのです。また、ブラジル国営石油会社ペトロブラスは、ゴムノキとの競合を目的としてラテックスを抽出する代替品としてこの植物の栽培を試みましたが、失敗に終わりました。

Euphorbia tirucalli (المعروف باسم aveloz ، شجرة شجرة هندية ، سيدة عارية ، شجرة قلم رصاص ، صبار قلم رصاص ، شجيرة الحليب) هي شجرة تنمو في مناخات شبه قاحلة. يعتبر اللاتكس اللبني من E. tirucalli مهيجًا للغاية للجلد والغشاء المخاطي وهو سام. التعرض لها يمكن أن يسبب العمى. يسبب ملامسة الجلد تهيجًا شديدًا واحمرارًا وحرقًا. في حالة تناوله ، يمكن أن يسبب حروقًا في الفم والشفتين واللسان. يُقترح ارتداء معدات وقفازات لحماية العين عند التعامل مع النبات. يستخدم الفربيون tirucalli كدواء بديل في العديد من الثقافات. بذلت محاولات لاستخدامه في علاج السرطان والزوائد والأورام والثآليل والربو والسعال وآلام الأذن والألم العصبي والروماتيزم وآلام الأسنان في دول مثل البرازيل والهند وإندونيسيا وماليزيا. تم الترويج ل Euphorbia tirucalli كعامل مضاد للسرطان ، لكن الأبحاث تظهر أنه يثبط جهاز المناعة ، ويعزز نمو الورم ، ويؤدي إلى تطور أنواع معينة من السرطان. ارتبطت الفربيون تيروكالي أيضًا بسرطان الغدد الليمفاوية في بوركيت ويُعتقد أنها عامل مساعد للمرض وليس علاجًا ، ويمكن أيضًا استخدام مادة اللاتكس الخاصة بها كوقود. دفع هذا الكيميائي ميلفن كالفن إلى اقتراح استغلال E. tirucalli لإنتاج النفط. هذا الاستخدام جذاب بشكل خاص بسبب قدرة E. tirucalli على النمو على أرض غير مناسبة لمعظم المحاصيل الأخرى. قدر كالفين أن من الممكن تحقيق 10 إلى 50 برميلًا من النفط لكل فدان. في الثمانينيات ، بدأت شركة البترول الوطنية البرازيلية بتروبراس تجارب تستند إلى هذه الأفكار. كما تم استخدامه في إنتاج المطاط ، ولكن لم يكن أي منهما ناجحًا للغاية.

GOLDEN ENOKI MUSHROOMS... by magda indigo

43 20

The Golden Enoki mushroom has several other names including enokitake, enokidake, furry foot, nametake, yuki-motase, golden needle, winter mushroom, velvet foot and velvet stem mushroom.

Enokitake are long, thin mushrooms used in Asian cuisines, particularly those of China, Japan and Korea. These mushrooms are cultivars of Flammulina velutipes. The wild form differs in colour and texture and are called winter mushrooms, velvet foot or velvet stem. The mushroom naturally grows on the stumps of the Chinese Hackberry tree, called enoki in Japanese, but also on some other trees as for example mulberry and persimmon trees. There is a significant difference in appearance between the wild and the cultivated mushrooms. Cultivated mushrooms are not exposed to light resulting in a white colour, whereas the wild variety usually has a dark brown colour. The cultivated mushrooms are grown in a high CO2 environment to produce long thin stems, whereas wild mushrooms produce a much shorter and thicker stem. The variety available in the supermarket is always cultivated. The mushroom is cultivated in a plastic bottle or a vinyl bag for 30 days at 15°C and 70% humidity, on a substrate of saw dust or corn cobs, and a number of additional ingredients. Afterwards, the mushroom is grown for another 30 days in a slightly cooler but more humid environment. The growth is constricted in a paper cone to force the mushroom to grow long and thin. The mushroom available in the supermarket often still shows the impression of the bottle around the base of the mushroom. The mushroom is very easy to cultivate, and has been cultivated in Japan for over 300 years, initially on wood, and later in the bottles as described above. Home cultivation kits are also available. In North America, a second species, Flammulina populicola has been cultivated and may be available in kits. (wikipedia)

Enoki mushrooms have significant anticancer and immune-enhancing effects.

Lysine found in enoki is double to other types of mushroom and is effective in children mental development.

Enoki mushroom and its cousins such as Shitake Mushrooms, Maitake, Cordyceps, and button mushroom, has become more popular in culinary habit as the result of scientific validation of the health benefits.View On proper Black
