The Tamil Siddhars call the plant koovilam (கூவிளம்) and use the fragrant leaves for medicinal purposes, including dyspepsia and sinusitis. A confection called ilakam (இளகம்) is made of the fruit and used to treat tuberculosis and loss of appetite. It is used in Ayurveda for many purposes, especially chronic constipation.
For some unexplained reason Pethidine can't be gotten anywhere here . Whether it's a manufacturing or supply problem . No one can tell me . Just we can't get them . here's some morphine . Been on pethidine for about 20 years now and for some reason it still works . Has no side effects really for me . Apart from kebab craving . I don't get withdrawals . Yet the morphine screws up my stomach . Feel like i have swallowed a very angry hedgehog . Terrible acid and it does nothing for my pain .
I really fucking hate morphine .
Oh yeah . And another thing . It kills whatever little libido i had left .
And gives you excruciating constipation as well .

Secretos de Radiación. Es el proyecto con el que pretendo reflejar el deterioro físico y mental que sufren las mujeres que han recibido radiación por cáncer de cérvix y el deterior por efectos secundarios al tratamiento, el cual les salva la vida pero deja una gran huella en su cuerpo y mente. Esta marchitación interna les ocasiona una gran variedad de problemas como: resequedad, piel sensible, estreñimiento, sangrados, falta de lubricación y más. Ellas pierden su sexualidad al no poder intimar con su pareja, lo cual les lleva a cuestionar su cuerpo y persona lo que se convierte en un problema mental. Las mujeres que han pasado por esto por lo general cargan el problema en silencio y sin ayuda. Hay que poner la luz en esta situación y ver la forma de brindarles la información y ayuda adecuada.
Secrets of Radiation. It is the project that I intend to reflect the physical and mental deterioration suffered by women who have received radiation from cervical cancer and the deterioration due to side effects to the treatment, which saves their lives but leaves a great imprint on their body and mind . This internal wilting causes a great variety of problems such as: dryness, sensitive skin, constipation, bleeding, lack of lubrication and more. They lose their sexuality by not being able to intimate with their partner, which leads them to question their body and person which becomes a mental problem. Women who have gone through this usually carry the problem silently and unaided. We must put the light on this situation and see how we can provide them with the right information and help.

This is the cover of a small booklet from the 1920's. It was published by Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind. It describes what wireless (radio) is all about. There are illustrations and references to people such as Tesla. Each facing page also has advertisements and testimonials for Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets. They treated constipation, biliousness, sour stomach, sick headache, lazy liver, dullness, and dizziness.
One picture inside shows what looks like the Marconi wireless station at Welfleet on Cape Cod. You can easily see the huge inverted pyramid antenna that is attached to the four huge tours.
As the doctor himself said, "We want you to try our Remedies. We want you to do so without cost to you, should you receive no benefit.....We GUARANTEE only the first (single) bottle, which is sufficient to prove whether or not it will benefit you."
You just brought the empty bottle back to the druggist and he gave you the money back.
Tarquin senses this last week's constipation is all behind him now.
P.B Blakeney-Edwards' Frazer Nash 1935 TT Replica exuberantly piloted.
The Frazer Nash was the direct descendant of the GN cycle car, a twin-cylinder, chain driven vehicle produced until 1922 by the partnership of Captain Archie Frazer-Nash and H R Godfrey. Archie Frazer-Nash then formed a new company and in 1924 the first Frazer Nash appeared. In 1928 Captain Frazer-Nash left the company, which then came under the control of H J and W H Aldington. Between 1924 and 1954, when production effectively ceased, approximately 450 Frazer Nash cars were produced, of which 350 were pre-war ‘chain gang’ models. Of these, 85 had the most popular TT Replica style of bodywork, which was offered between March 1932 and 1939. The TT Replica was based on the cars that contested the 1931 Tourist Trophy Race, though none of the three cars entered actually finished the event. In 1932 the cars fared better, one finishing 2nd in class.
A number of different engines were used by the factory, and the TT Replica was fitted with 1½-litre, four-cylinder, overhead-valve Meadows engine, the 1,660cc six-cylinder, twin-overhead-camshaft Blackburne engine, and the 1½-litre, four-cylinder, single-overhead-camshaft Gough engine. The factory undertook the manufacture of individual cars to order and various combinations of engine and chassis were produced. The first Blackburne-engined TT Replica was registered in May 1933 and the example offered here also was fitted with a Blackburne engine when produced on 20th March 1935. At some later stage, this Replica’s Blackburne unit was replaced with a Gough engine of the period.
Although the chain drive is highly unusual, for a motor car of the period, a chain is more efficient than almost any other form of transmission and the Frazer Nash system was one of the best. References at the time to ‘smoking or red-hot chains lying on the road’ after the rare breakage were mistaken. The reason they were handled with care was because they were dirty, and many chains lasted over 40,000 miles. With their unique form of drive, Frazer Nashes oversteered dramatically under power and it was said at the time that ‘Frazer Nashes never go round corners, they merely change direction.’
While the TT Replica was sold as an all-round performer, it did not achieve significant success in major circuit races. The model’s record in the International Alpine Trials of 1932, 1933 and 1934 is, however, outstanding and equalled by few makes, no doubt due in part to its ability to negotiate the tight Alpine passes under full power. In the 1932 event two cars were entered and lost no marks, while in 1933 a TT Replica was the only car entered not to lose marks. In 1934 four of the team of six cars were un-penalised.
Foxglove for macromonday theme POISONOUS HMM
Foxglove is poisonous if consumed in enough quantity. But is also used in medicine to treat heart conditions, asthma, epilepsy, tuberculosis, constipation and headache
Horseradish - Armoracia rusticana
Edible plant - novice
Other common names: Red Cole
Scientific name meaning: Armoracia is the Latin name for the plant, while rusticana means "of the country, rural"
Season Spring to Autumn
Habitat - where will I find it? Well established in Britain, Horseradish is an ancient introduction and a native of Asia
Description - what does it look like? Horseradish has tall dock-like leaves reaching to 1m from the ground. The leaves are shiny and have a wavy-toothed edge. Its flower stalk has many inflorescence of white cruciform flowers (four petals arranged in a cross formation).
When crushed, the leaves give off the smell of Horseradish
Possible lookalikes Many of the Docks (Rumex) genus could be easily mistaken for Horseradish. However, no Docks have the odour of Horseradish. In addition, Horseradish's leaves are shiny, unlike the matt leaves of dock, and have a distinct wavy-toothed edged, which the Docks lack.
Use as a food The young leaves of Horseradish have a good strong flavour and can be eaten raw or cooked. However, the root, which is best harvested in early winter, is the most used. It is strongly flavoured and traditionally used to make Horseradish sauce
Use in herbal medicine Horseradish has many uses in herbalism including to treat skin redness, digestive disorders, constipation, chest infections, pleurisy, infections, arthritis, chilblains, muscle soreness, and urinary tract infections.
It has also been used as a diuretic, antiseptic and expectorant. Research is being undertaken into potential anti-tumour properties.
It can cause blistering if applied to the skin so caution is advised.
If you are suffering from any ailment or need medical advice, please see your General Practitioner
Other uses A solution made from the root can be used to treat fungal diseases, such as brown rot in apples. As a companion plant, Horseradish is used to deter potato eelworm
Hazards Horseradish contains volatile oils and can be poisonous if eaten in large quantities.
Those who are pregnant or lactating, or suffering with hepatitis, acid reflux, thyroid disorders, hyperacidity and inflammatory bowel disorders, should avoid consumption of large quantities of Horseradish
Importance to other species Provides a food source for pollinators and the larvae of some butterflies
Things to note Under the Theft Act, Horseradish root cannot be harvested without permission from the landowner (this includes common land) as it involves digging up the plant
Always stay safe when foraging. You need to be 100% sure of your identification, 100% sure that your foraged item is edible, and 100% sure that you are not allergic to it (it is good practice to always try a small amount of any new food you are consuming). If in doubt, leave it out! LINK BELOW

Health benefits
Potential health benefits of banana consumption. By a high potassium to sodium content, bananas may prevent high blood pressure and its complications. High fiber content may also contribute to this effect. High potassium may also prevent renal calcium loss, in effect preventing bone breakdown. In diarrhea, it contributes with electrolyte replacement, as well as increased absorption of nutrients. Bananas also have some antacid effect, protecting from peptic ulcers. Pectin content, a hydrocolloid, can ease constipation by normalizing movement through the intestine. The low glycemic index in unripe bananas is of particular benefit to people with diabetes. High fructooligosaccharide content may work as a prebiotic, nourishing the intestinal flora to produce beneficial vitamins and enzymes. Carotenoid content has antioxidant effects, and protects against vitamin A deficiency, resulting in e.g. night blindness. Moderate consumption decreases risk of kidney cancer, possibly due to antioxidant phenolic compounds In contrast, large consumption of highly processed fruit juice increases the risk of kidney cancer.
Fruit consumption in general decreases the risk of age-related muscular degeneration

Hello! I'm Andrew, and this is my first day of my very first 365 project.
I've been contemplating doing a 365 project for quite some time, but had trouble committing to it. Recently however, I wiped away all the poor excuses that helped me to justify why I shouldn't do this, and realized it would be a good opportunity for me to use it as a base for accomplishing some things... namely improving my photography skills in certain areas that I feel deficient.
I realize there will be days that my shots will stink. But ya know, some people do their best work under pressure... sort of like people that do their best thinking when they are, well, in the bathroom. I really do hope that I can accomplish my goals, and that I don't suffer from any mental constipation along the way.
I'm really looking forward to this. And who knows, maybe if I can successfully complete my first 365 project I'll try and squeeze another one in immediately after.
Let this photo be a lesson... that when I don't have any good ideas, this is the sh*t I come up with. I'm sorry you had to see this one, but it's the best I have for day 1.
Getting ready to bid farewell to 2008.
I don't do sexy, I do constipated. Don't try to convince me otherwise.
I took a couple minutes to contemplate and reminisce about the past year.
Only two memories come to mind; failing out of school and then getting shingles.
As far as I can remember right now nothing big or super exciting happened this past year... It went by really fast and I kinda have my memories from the past three years all jumbled together.
I wanted to take a cute picture of me and my dog but his hormones are out of control and he wouldn't stop humping my leg. Maybe tomorrow I'll post an outtake or two...
See you all next year!!

At first glance this bluegill's nest is notably different than other local residents. The creative digging and clearing, in the shape of a bear's claw is situated behind a large rock providing him solid insulation and an exceptional noise and rfi barrier while also giving that added security knowing he and his family will be protected from the various local environmental assaults and predators which abound in this area. As you can see he chose not to utilize the bright green moss as other fish preferred and his surrounding berm is asymmetric and not clearly defined by height or shape. He also chose a variety of low-keyed colors, shapes and materials including sticks, neutral colored small stones, tiny white scallop shells, mud, and one black walnut.
This fish most likely has had or witnessed previous violent encounters, may be a rapid metabolizer of the CYP2D6 gene, has been exposed to the various pharmaceuticals in our water, may be either old or tired, or very brilliant in his clever defense plan to protect his prospective mate and brood.
There is a radio station on the top of the hill in front of this lake.
*******************
Black Walnuts:
Allelopathy
Black walnut is allelopathic, as it excretes chemicals into its environment that harm competition. While many species of plants are allelopathic, walnuts are particularly famous for it, records of walnut toxicity to other plants have been observed as far back as the first century when Pliny the Elder wrote: "The shadow of walnut trees is poison to all plants within its compass."[28] Walnuts have since been observed as being toxic to many plants including herbaceous and woody plants.
Like other walnuts, the roots, inner bark, nut husks, and leaves contain a nontoxic chemical called hydrojuglone,[28] when exposed to air or soil compounds it is oxidized into juglone that is biologically active and acts as a respiratory inhibitor to some plants. Juglone is poorly soluble in water and does not move far in the soil and will stay most concentrated in the soil directly beneath the tree.[29] Even after a tree is removed the soil where the roots once were will still contain juglone for several years after the tree is removed as more juglone will be released as the roots decay.[29] Well drained and aerated soils will host a healthy community of soil microbes and these microbes will help to break down the juglone.
Symptoms of juglone poisoning include foliar yellowing and wilting.[29] A number of plants are particularly sensitive. Apples, tomatoes, pines, and birch are poisoned by juglone, and should not be planted in proximity to a black walnut.[4][30]
Interaction with horses
Horses are susceptible to laminitis from exposure to black walnut wood in bedding.[31]

The Organs of your body have their sensory touches at the bottom of your
foot, if you massage these points you will find relief from aches and pains
as you can see the heart is on the left foot.
[image: []]
Typically they are shown as points and arrows to show which organ it
connects to.
It is indeed correct since the nerves connected to these organs terminate
here.
This is covered in great details in Acupressure studies or textbooks.
God created our body so well that he thought of even this. He made us walk
so that we will always be pressing these pressure points and thus keeping
these organs activated at all times.
So, keep walking...

Does Your Blood Type Reveal Your Personality?
Accord ing to a Japanese institute that does research on blood types, there
are certain personality traits that seem to match up with certain blood
types. How do you rate?
*TYPE O*
You want to be a leader, and when you see something you want, you keep
striving until you achieve your goal. You are a trend-setter, loyal,
passionate, and self-confident. Your weaknesses include vanity and jealously
and a tendency to be too competitive.
*TYPE A*
You like harmony, peace and organization. You work well with others, and are
sensitive, patient and affectionate. Among your weaknesses are stubbornness
and an inability to relax.
*TYPE B*
You're a rugged individualist, who's str aightforwa rd and likes to do
things your own way. Creative and flexible, you adapt easily to any
situation. But your insistence on being independent can sometimes go too far
and become a weakness.
*TYPE AB*
Cool and controlled, you're generally well liked and always put people at
ease. You're a natural entertainer who's tactful and fair. But you're
standoffish, blunt, and have difficulty making decisions.

...* DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH*
It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up
every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven a its value. We
publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and
serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been
found successful by a Japanese med ical society as a 100% cure for the
following diseases:
Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy,
excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine
diseases, vomiting, ga str itis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation,
all eye diseases, womb, cancer and ear nose and throat diseases. *
METHOD OF TREATMENT*
1. As you wake up in the morning *before brushing teeth*, drink 4 x 160ml
glasses of water .....interesting
2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minutes
3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.
4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink
anything for 2 hours
5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at
the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it
to 4 glasses per day.
6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others
can enjoy a healthy life.
The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to
cure/control/reduce main diseases:
1. High Blood Pressure - 30 days
2. Ga str ic - 10 days
3. Diabetes - 30 days
4. Constipation - 10 days
5. Cancer - 180 days
6. TB - 90 days
7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in
the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwa rd s - daily.
This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of
treatment you may have to urinate a few times.
It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work
in our life.
Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.
This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals
..not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while
eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.
It is nice to have a cup of 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.
*
A serious note about heart attacks*: Women should know that not every heart
attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting.
Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart
attack..
Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.
60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.
Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be
aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to everyone they
know, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.

Attention must be paid when eating a star apple.
It can be as heavenly as the constellations or as mean as hell … or anything in between ecstasy and agony … often “meh”.
Perfectly ripe and correctly chilled, the juicy cainito has the sweet background taste of dates, almost identical to persimmons. The slippery texture is like grapes.
Cut horizontally across the middle (not from the stem end) and there is the beautiful star pattern for which the fruit is named. There are green and stunningly beautiful purple versions. This is the prettiest photo I’ve seen on the web of the cut fruit.
www.marketmanila.com/archives/caimito-star-apple
That site also has some good tips and user comments.
www.marketmanila.com/archives/caimito-or-star-apple-at-th...
At room temperature and/or not fully ripe, they taste just ok, a little sweet like a grape, but the complexity is gone.
Cut it incorrectly, and the bitter latex in the skin and rind coats your lips, teeth and tongue with substance that is tacky like the sticky side of Scotch tape. The tough, rubbery skin is inedible.
In excess, they cause constipation … the agony.
Of course, I did everything wrong with the first one I tried … it was not fully ripe, room temperature and cut the wrong way. It was slightly sweet but really tasted like nothing much. The only thing that impressed me was the latex covering my face. That sent me on a web search about them.
The chilled, ripe, correctly cut version was glorious. However, I could not get certain family members to try it as they had the same first experience as I did … frio, es muy bueno., verdad … No, no, no.
There is a beautiful photo of the chilled fruit and the tree in this link
gonzosincostarica.blogspot.com/2010/02/cainito-or-milk-fr...
Some say they taste milky or like apples, cherimoya or custard. I didn’t think so. Someone compared the texture to soursop … like I know what that is … but for soursop aficionados, it might be like that.
Star apples have an affinity for oranges and milk, especially condensed milk, so it is often mixed with those two ingredients and chilled.
More ideas for caimito recipes can be found on the Home Cooking board.
chowhound.chow.com/topics/770582
This site had the best info for selecting the fruit which should be soft to the touch … think persimmon. However, if they get too soft, they get bitter. Ripe star apples bruise easily, making them difficult to ship.
www.tropicalfruitgrowers.com/?page_id=544
“Caimitos must be mature when they are picked from the tree, otherwise they will not ripen … If you purchase caimitos in a market, try to find fruits that are beginning to soften, that way you be pretty sure that the fruit is mature. Allow the fruits to sit on the counter at room temperature until they are just a little bit wrinkled and give a little, like a ripe peach.”
“Once the caimito has ripened, store the ripe fruit in a plastic bag or container in the coldest part of the refrigerator. It will remain in good condition for 2-3 weeks.You can also freeze the pulp tightly wrapped in plastic.”
There are three methods of getting to the fruit inside the star apple:
1. Slice in half and scoop out the pulp with a spoon, discard the glossy, hard black seeds, skin and soft rind (which I assume is the deepest purple flesh attached to the skin).
2. Cut through the skin and rind, but not the pulp. The cut should be from middle, not the stem end. Hold the fruit stem end down, gently twist the top back and forth. The pulp will free itself from the bottom half of the rind and will pull away.
3. Squeeze the uncut fruit until it becomes soft, which mixes the juice with the meat of the fruit. Cut a small hole in the top so the juice can be sucked out. You HAVE TO read the description of how to do this in the quote from the Vietnamese embassy at the end of this post. Whoever wrote this could write great literature … or porn.
Wikipedia states
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysophyllum_cainito
“The fruit also exist in two colors, dark purple and greenish brown. The purple fruit has a denser skin and texture while the greenish brown fruit has a thin skin and a more liquid pulp … Also, Chinese geneticists have created a rainbow-colored version of the fruit.”
The purple varieties are Haitian and Lila. One green variety is Philippine gold. Though some claim they all taste the same, each has their fans. Those that liked the thinner-skinned green variety think it is less fiborous. Those favoring the purple variety say they are sweeter.
The round fruit is usually small, anywhere between the size of a golf ball or tennis ball. The photo at the end of the post shows it next to a medium-sized tangerine. There is a larger green variety about the size of grapefruit. There’s a photo of it in this link.
www.josieskitchen.info/tag/star-apple/
The tree is huge with leaves that are gold. I just started noticing these trees recently. I thought there was something wrong with them since I’ve never seen yellow leaves in Guatemala except on dying trees.
The cainito is hermaphroditic. Like an apple, there can occasionally be worms, though I’ve only read that about the green version grown in the Philippines.
This site writes
www.trekearth.com/gallery/Asia/Cambodia/West/Siem_Reab/Si...
“Despite it being a great favorite with locals and most of the foreigners who buy it, growers don't plant this tree widely as it takes one tree seven to eight years to mature and bear fruit and the surface root system takes up a lot of land, preventing any other crops from growing beside it or near it. Even with a good yield, though, growers can only make between $25 to $35 from each annual harvest. A cluster of a dozen costs between 4500 and 6000 riel, or around a dollar to $1.50. So there are obvious reasons why milk fruit was much rarer than other fruits such as mango or jackfruit.”
Some other names include: caimito, golden leaf tree, abiaba, pomme du lait, estrella, and milk fruit.
Caimitos are nutritious and a good source of anti-oxidents and vitamin C, as well as some calcium and phosphorus. Wikipedia states it is known to increase the life of rats up to 20%. … as if I want the rats to hang around longer.
There are 67 calories in 100g of pulp. Lots more info about medicinal uses in this link.
www.stuartxchange.org/Caimito.html
According to this site
www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/star_apple.html
“Bolivians parboil the edible portion, and also prepare it as a decoction. An emulsion of the slightly bitter seed kernels is used to make imitation milk-of almonds, also nougats and other confections.”
The Vietnamese embassy site about vu sua (milk from the breast):
www.vietnamemb.se/en/index.php?option=com_content&vie...
“The shape of the star apple only may as well match the name attached to it let alone its juice as fragrantly sweet, purely white as the milk from the breast
The most appreciated way to enjoy the fruit by orchard owners is to it the fruit in whole. That is to drill a small hole at the top of the fruit and lift it to the mouth and raise the head backward to suck the flow of the fragrant juice into the mouth continuously as if a baby sucking milk from its mother's breast. One thing you should remember is that before taking in the juice like that you must squeeze the tough fruit for a while until it becomes tendered so that the juice can mix with the meat of the fruit to become a sweet and fragrant muddy substance that looks like milk from the breast. “
Oh my.

Culinary uses
Persimmons are eaten fresh or dried, raw or cooked. When eaten fresh the peel is usually cut/peeled off and the fruit is often cut into quarters or eaten whole like an apple. The flesh ranges from firm to mushy and the texture is unique. The flesh is very sweet and when firm possesses an apple-like crunch. In China, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam after harvesting, 'Hachiya' persimmons are prepared using traditional hand-drying techniques, outdoors for two to three weeks. The fruit is then further dried by exposure to heat over several days before being shipped to market. In Japan the dried fruit is called Hoshigaki (干し柿),and in Korea, gotgam(hangu;:곶감) and is eaten as a snack or dessert and used for other culinary purposes. The gotgam per is used to make the traditional Korean spicy punch, sujeonggwa, while the matured, fermented fruit is used to make a persimmon vinegar (감식초) that is thought to have a wide variety of holistic properties. The Hoshigaki tradition traveled to California with Japanese American immigrants. A few farms still practice the art, which is being revived in part through the efforts of Slow Food USA, which describes the technique on its site and provides links to producers. [5] [6] In some areas of Manchuria and Korea, the dried leaves of the fruit are used for making tea. The Korean name for this tea is ghamnip cha (감잎차).

The persimmon also figures prominently in American culinary tradition. It can be used in cookies, cakes, puddings, salads and as a topping for breakfast cereal. Persimmon pudding is a dessert using fresh persimmons. An annual persimmon festival, featuring a persimmon pudding contest, is held every September in Mitchell, Indiana. Persimmon pudding is a baked pudding that has the consistency of pumpkin pie but resembles a brownie and is almost always topped with whipped cream. Persimmons may be stored at room temperature (20°C) where they will continue to ripen. It is also a native plant in Brazil, South America, where it is referred to as the Caqui.
[edit] Ethnomedical Uses
* In traditional Chinese medicine the fruit regulates ch'i
* The raw fruit is used to treat constipation and hemorrhoids, and to stop bleeding. As such, it is not a good idea to consume too many persimmons at once- they can induce diarrhea.
* The cooked fruit is used to treat diarrhea and dysentery
Folkloric
· For rheumatic pains of the legs and waist: use 3 to 6 gms of dried material in the form of decoction.

Bulimia Nervosa is an illness in which a person binges on food or has regular episodes of significant overeating and feels a loss of control. The affected person then uses various methods -- such as vomiting or laxative abuse -- to prevent weight gain. Eating binges may occur as often as several times a day for many months. These binges cause a sense of self-disgust, which leads to self-induced vomiting or excessive exercise.
Bulimia can be dangerous and may lead to serious medical complications over time. For example, frequent vomiting puts stomach acid in the esophagus (the tube from the mouth to the stomach), which can permanently damage this area.
Possible complications include:
Constipation, Dehydration, Dental cavities, Electrolyte abnormalities, Hemorrhoids, Inflammation of the throat, Pancreatitis and Tears of the esophagus

Introduction
"Let thy medicine be thy food." Hippocrates, the father of medicine, must have had the tomato in mind when he made this statement thousands of years ago. Now, in a world where drugs and supplements dominate, it appears that conventional medicine has forgotten the healing power of food. Modern science knows that food provides vitamins, minerals and calories for energy, but does it believe that food offers any real medical treatments? With the discovery of bioactive compounds in whole foods, science is beginning to understand the wisdom of Hippocrates. In no other food is this trend truer than the tomato.
The tomato is known as a powerhouse of nutrition. It contains a multitude of vitamins and minerals that act to support health. However, it was not until the discovery of the carotenoid lycopene that modern science began to truly recognize the healing power of the tomato.
Lycopene has recently become the poster child of bioactive substances found in food that demonstrate health benefits. Among these benefits, the risk of prostate and breast cancer decreases due to lycopene.11 Lycopene appears to have a favorable effect in treating many other cancers such as: lung, stomach, colorectal, oral, esophageal, pancreatic, bladder and cervical cancer.11 Also, research has shown lycopene to lower the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and reduce heart disease,1,2,5,6 as well as increase the resistance to lung cancer and exercise induced asthma.7,9 There is even some evidence that lycopene in tomatoes may help to prevent cataracts,32,33 age-related macular degeneration34 and sunburns.31 More and more research appears to show that lycopene assists the immune system in protecting the body from illness.15
Despite all the wonderful health benefits of lycopene, there is one problem. The reductionistic model of isolating single compounds for drugs and supplements has been applied to the tomato and thus, lycopene. New lycopene supplements are hitting the market at an astronomical rate. Mounting evidence suggests that these lycopene neutraceuticals do not have the same impact as tomato food products.11,23 Once lycopene is isolated from the tomato there is risk of losing the other beneficial effects of this superfood. It is the whole tomato that provides superior benefit in regard to health. Lycopene acts synergistically with other tomato compounds to provide a unique medicine. The benefits of tomatoes and tomato products are often attributed to the carotenoid lycopene; however, isolated lycopene appears less beneficial than using whole tomato. Other compounds in tomatoes and tomato products that act alone or interact with lycopene are important.23,57 This suggests that the tomato may be "thy medicine," and lycopene is one of its powerful constituents.
History of the Tomato
The tomato plant is native to South America. It was introduced to Europe sometime in the 1500's by the Spanish. Soon after the tomato arrived in Europe it became a staple food of southern Europe. The Italians are especially known for their love of the tomato.35
The tomato belongs to the Solanaceae family which is also known as the "deadly" Nightshade family. Because the tomato belongs to the Nightshade family, and the Latin name for the tomato plant is Lycopersicon lycopersicum, which literally means "wolf peach," it has in the past given the tomato a false reputation of being toxic. In fact it is the tomato leaf that is toxic and not the fruit or tomato.
Lycopene, the Star Player?
The red color found in tomatoes is due to lycopene; therefore, the redder the tomato, the higher lycopene content. Thus, yellow and green tomatoes are relatively low in lycopene. One explanation of the powerful antioxidant effects of lycopene may be due to the fact that lycopene is not converted to vitamin A (?-carotene or ß-carotene). This suggests that red tomatoes do not have enzymes to convert lycopene to ?-carotene or ß-carotene.11 Therefore lycopene is available to act as a potent antioxidant in the body, which will promote health.
Lycopene is also found in other foods such as: watermelon, guava, grapefruit, papaya and apricots as shown in the table below.

The lycopene found in tomatoes has been studied extensively in both humans and animals. Lycopene is now recognized as a powerful substance in the fight against cardiovascular disease and various cancers. One study investigated close to 40,000 women and their dietary habits, which revealed that the consumption of 7 to 10 servings of lycopene rich tomato products produced a 29% lower incidence of cardiovascular disease compared to women consuming the lowest amounts. This result was increased to 34% when women consumed two servings a week of tomato products that contained oil.1 Other studies also suggest that oil-based tomato products may be more influential than tomato products that do not contain oil, in promoting cardiovascular health.3,4
Part of lycopene's benefit against heart disease may be due to its antioxidant effects on cholesterol. Research shows that lycopene lowers LDL cholesterol oxidation.17,20 However, lycopene may not act alone regarding cardiovascular disease. Yamamoto et al. used an animal model which demonstrated antithrombotic (anti-clotting) effects of lycopene-free tomato products.2 This strongly supports the idea that lycopene is only one of many beneficial constituents in the tomato.
Lycopene has a strong anticancer relationship. As previously mentioned, lycopene has been shown to lower the risk of various cancers. The antioxidant nature of lycopene may affect cancer cells through a protective effect on cellular DNA, making it less susceptible to mutation.21,22 However, once again, the effects that lycopene alone has on cancer seems to be less significant than its effects from the whole tomato. This was shown in one animal study using isolated lycopene versus tomato powder.23 Animals that received isolated lycopene had a 72% death rate as compared to 80% of the controls.23 In contrast, the tomato powder resulted in a 62% death rate. 23 The results indicated more of a beneficial effect from a whole tomato product, tomato powder, than from lycopene alone in the protection against deaths from prostate cancer.23 This study also revealed that the low calorie, tomato based diet further increased the protection rate.23
From available studies, the tomato's role in health has become apparent. Most studies showing the benefit against disease involve the tomato with its constituent, lycopene. The lycopene supplementations used in most studies are usually done with whole tomato food concentrates. Only a few studies, like the previously mentioned one, have compared lycopene alone and whole tomato products in order to assess their respective health benefits.23 The cost-benefit ratio appears to favor whole food products over newly designed supplements. It appears that only the whole food tomato product can deliver the full context of nutrients and bioactive compounds to synergistically enhance the action of lycopene.
The Team Players in the Tomato
Along with lycopene, the tomato provides many other health-promoting nutrients. It is the synergy of the full array of compounds that make the tomato a powerful medicinal food. Tomatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C, a nutrient known for its antioxidant action.13,42,43 The tomato also contains an abundance of other carotenoids, including beta-carotene, making it a rich source of vitamin A.13,42,43 Some researchers believe it is the diverse carotenoid compounds in the tomato that enhance the action of lycopene.24 High intakes of vitamin C and beta-carotene may prevent atherosclerosis, diabetes, colon cancer and asthma.44-46 In addition, tomatoes are rich in fiber.13,42,43 Fiber works in concert with vitamins C and A to aid against the same previously mentioned diseases. While vitamins C and A deter free radical damage to cholesterol, the fiber in the tomato lowers the amount of cholesterol from the body, by helping the body to remove it more efficiently. Fiber in tomato slows gastric emptying and therefore absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, positively impacting diabetes. In addition to its indirect effects on blood sugar, fiber also assists in removing carcinogenic compounds in the colon. This beneficially impacts both diabetes and colon cancer in separate but complementary mechanisms from vitamins C and A. These actions have a bearing on obesity as well, and when the low caloric value of the tomato is factored in, the argument is strengthened.42
The tomato has even more nutrients for its fight against disease. Potassium, vitamin B6, folate and niacin are all present in tomato and work together to help fight atherosclerosis.13,51,52,54 High cholesterol and homocysteine levels are both risk factors for atherosclerosis and other diseases. Niacin has proven effects in lowering cholesterol levels and vitamin B6 and folate reduce high levels of homocysteine.51,54 The potassium in the tomato works against heart disease by lowering blood pressure.52
The tomato also contains nutrients such as: vitamin K, chromium and biotin. Vitamin K helps to build bone,53 while the latter two nutrients aid the body's ability to process sugar and fat, which may improve diabetes and nerve function.55,56 Riboflavin is another important nutrient in the tomato that helps with energy metabolism and fights against migraine headaches.25Other potentially beneficial phytochemicals in tomatoes include: phenylpropanoids, phytosterols, and flavonoids.35 These phytochemicals beneficially influence the body in many different ways that science is just now beginning to realize.
Unlike isolated supplements or drugs which have one or two main actions, tomato-based food products deliver many nutrients with multiple mechanisms of action.12,13 These manifold actions create a potent preventative medicine in the fight against aging and disease.
The Tomato is Better Cooked
The wonderful thing about the tomato is the many different culinary ways it can be used. It is widely used in salads, sauces, soups, and is the base of one of America's favorite condiments, ketchup. The tomato is without a doubt one of America's favorite health foods. Considering the amount of tomato lycopene consumed in the form of ketchup and pizza sauce, it makes one wonder what our rate of heart disease and cancer would be without this food.1,37 The amount of beneficial nutrients in the tomato is significant with liberal consumption of tomato-based products. It seems the best way to obtain the benefits is through more concentrated and cooked forms of the tomato. The Mediterranean diet includes high amounts of these foods. For example, Italians are known for their love of tomato sauce. They use it as a dip, on pastas, in salads and even as soup. Tomato sauce may be the perfect way to obtain the beneficial lycopene and other compounds from the tomato. Research shows lycopene to be most abundant in tomato sauces and pastes.30 In addition, the slow cooking process of tomato sauce further enhances the concentration and absorption of the tomato's lycopene and other nutrients.14 Healthy oils, such as olive oil added to traditional sauces also aid in the absorption and utilization of the tomato lycopene and other carotenoids.3,4 Rarely do we find a healthier, more economical means of protecting health than with tomato sauce.
In order to maximize the health benefits of tomatoes and tomato products, it is best to consume organic tomatoes and canned tomatoes in non-lead containers. Canned food products in the US do not contain lead anymore, so this shouldn't be an issue. Virtually all foods in the US with the exception of organic food have trace amounts of pesticides. There is mounting evidence that by avoiding trace amounts of pesticides, one's health will be improved.
Tomato Sauce: the Ultimate Medicine Cabinet
Tomatoes in the form of sauce deliver heart healthy and disease-fighting compounds. Spices cooked in tomato sauce also offer an increased opportunity to deliver medicine that has the potential of preventing disease. Garlic and oregano act as potent antimicrobial agents through the compounds allicin,58 thymol,59 and carvacrol.59 The cholesterol-lowering effects of garlic are also well-documented,26-28 and so are the antioxidant actions of rosmarinic acid found in oregano.27,28 The addition of rosemary provides even more rosmarininc acid, as well as other antioxidant compounds.28 Basil provides even greater antioxidant actions through the flavonoids orientin and vicenin.29 The volatile oils in basil provide additional antimicrobial effects.29 Also, eugenol (a phytochemical in basil) has COX-inhibiting activity which is a target enzyme of many pharmaceuticals.29
The addition of spices to tomato sauce provides a unique means of delivering medicinal compounds to the body. The sauce can be prepared in such a way as to tailor medicine to an individual. For example, someone with an infection would benefit from extra garlic, rosemary and basil; while someone with a history of heart disease may want to include all of the above with an emphasis on the antioxidant herbs, rosemary and basil. Also, signature sauces can add other medicinal foods such as onion60 and pepper.61 In this way, tomato sauce acts as a unique medicine cabinet with interconnected beneficial effects on the body.
As previously mentioned, the best benefits that tomato sauce has to offer relates to heart disease.6,12,20 The lycopene-rich tomato base with its synergistic nutrients is a powerful protector of heart disease. When the sauce is made in the traditional Italian fashion, with garlic, oregano, parsley and all the other spices, a tremendous amount of antioxidant, antithrombotic, and anti-inflammatory action is added.2,17,29 This list of medicinal actions would make any drug maker envious.
Considerations of the Tomato from a Chinese Medicine Perspective
Using food as medicine is an ancient tradition in China that dates back to more than three thousand years ago. In China, food therapy is known as Shi Liao.37 In fact, there are restaurants in China that specialize in serving medicinal foods, which are called, "Yao Shan" (medicated diet).37
The tomato has the properties of being sweet, sour, and slightly cold. It builds the yin, strengthens the stomach, promotes digestion, and cleans the liver.36,37 It is used in cases of diminished appetite, indigestion, food retention, anorexia, and constipation.36 Due to its cooling nature and affinity for the liver, the tomato relieves liver heat, thus helping to alleviate high blood pressure, red eyes, and headache.36
Possible Adverse Effects of the Tomato
Although rare, there are possible adverse effects of consuming tomatoes as there are in any food or medicine.
Tomatoes are one of the few foods that contain oxalates. The problem with oxalates in food is that they can form tiny little insoluble crystals with sharp edges which are irritating to tissue. People that suffer from kidney problems, gallbladder problems, gout, or rheumatoid arthritis may need to avoid foods with oxalates.38 Also, oxalates can impair calcium absorption. People who need to increase calcium through supplementation should consider avoiding foods rich in oxalates.
Tomatoes can also be associated with allergic reactions. If food allergies are suspected, then one may want to avoid tomatoes until the allergenic food is identified.
Another possible effect of eating high amounts of tomatoes or other foods with high amounts of lycopene is called lycopenaemia. Like other carotenoids, lycopene will produce a yellowish pigmentation of the skin if taken in excess.41 This may be only a cosmetic concern as there is no known documentation of other adverse side effects. However, one benefit to high levels of lycopene in the skin is its ability to act as a natural sunscreen, offering extra protection from UV-light.40
The Tomato Prescription
Hippocrates' famous saying holds truer today than ever before in history. The idea of prescribing food is a foreign concept to most healthcare providers. This is a disappointing fact due to the rising cost of health care and prescription drugs. The foods we regularly consume are devoid of nutrition, full of dyes and chemicals, and offer little in the way of bioactive medicinal compounds. Even during a trip down the local health food aisle you will be confronted with refined cereals and organic junk food. The fast paced, time-is-money society of today has little time to stop and think about what is or is not in food. Luckily, tomatoes and their products are some of the world's oldest "fast foods." Tomatoes can quickly be added to salads, soups and made into sauce. Research shows that the inclusion of cooked and concentrated tomato products consumed several times a week decreases incidence of disease.12 Tomato products such as sauce provide old world medicine with new world convenience, in a way that would make Hippocrates smile.
I must have my porriage every morning, summer and winter.
Good for you, plus keeps the tummy satisfied all morning.
Swirls of pure Canadian maple syrup all over the top...oh! so yummy!

Twenty reasons why porridge is the ultimate health food........
(I'm not sure why reason # 1 is at the top of this list. #20 comes first with me at my age! Alas, a cup of tea is more appealing when I first wake up in the morning. Then I'm wide awake so bound out of bed to prepare and enjoy my porridge)
1. IMPROVES SEX LIFE
Porridge oats can boost libido by helping to re-balance testosterone and oestrogen in the body. Testosterone drives sexual desire in both sexes. Men with low testosterone levels go off sex.
2. GOOD FOR HANGOVERS
Oats neutralise acidity levels in the body and help absorb toxins. Since a hangover is the result of the "poisonous" effects of alcohol, a bowl of porridge might help relieve the symptoms.
Porridge also contains one of the highest levels of soluble fibre of any cereal. Soluble fibre is essential for healthy digestion. Since alcohol depletes sugar levels, the slow-releasing carbohydrates in porridge help redress this.
3. HELPS QUIT SMOKING
Compounds in oats can help calm the nervous system and reduce the craving for nicotine.
4. HEALS THE SKIN
Bathing in oat-based solutions can help problem skin. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the anti-inflammatory compounds in porridge oats can help conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Fill a sock or stocking with porridge oats and place in water for 20 minutes while bathing.
5. FIGHTS INFECTION
Of all the cereals, porridge has the best proportion of protein needed for growth and repair in the body and to help boost the immune system.
6. FIGHTS HEART DISEASE
Many studies have shown that eating fibre-rich food such as porridge reduces the risk of heart disease. But scientists in the U.S. found that porridge contains avenanthramides - chemicals that stop blood cells sticking to artery walls, preventing the fatty deposits that cause heart disease.
7. REDUCES DIABETES RISK SLOWLY
Digested foods such as porridge might cut the risk of developing non-insulin dependent diabetes by absorbing sugar from the gut and cutting the need for large quantities of insulin to be released.
8. HELPS CONCENTRATION
The slow releasing complex carbohydrates in oats sustain energy levels, allowing full concentration to be maintained. Complex carbohydrates also stabilise and raise blood sugar levels.
9. BEATS DEPRESSION
Porridge is high in Vitamin B6, which promotes the brain chemical serotonin. High levels of serotonin are associated with feelings of well-being and also aid relaxation and restful sleep. Levels of serotonin dip when sunlight is limited - i.e. during winter - and can lead to the depressive condition Seasonal Affective Disorder.
10. BOOTS ENERGY
Porridge oats are high in complex carbohydrates and soluble fibre, which means they release energy slowly. A bowl of porridge should provide all the energy you need until lunchtime.
11. CUTS CHILDHOOD OBESITY
A study of 10,000 children by researchers at New York's Columbia University found that among those who regularly ate whole-oat products, the proportion of overweight children almost halved.
Researchers at Oxford Brookes University also found that those eating foods with a low glycaemic index (GI), such as porridge, were less likely to binge on sugary snacks. Foods with a low GI rating release glucose into the body more slowly and evenly, leaving you feeling fuller for longer.
12. LOWERS CHOLESTEROL
Porridge is rich in soluble fibre, which has been shown to lower blood cholesterol. High cholesterol occurs when fat builds up and constricts the arteries, reducing blood flow to the heart. Eating oats can improve blood flow and bind to cholesterol in the gut, aiding its removal from the body. Scientists think the cholesterol-lowering effects of oats are due to the oat soluble fibre beta-glucan.
13. PREVENTS CONSTIPATION
High-fibre foods such as porridge increase the movement of food through the digestive tract.
This increased bowel action provides a good environment for beneficial bacteria in the gut to ferment while decreasing levels of destructive bacteria.
14. FIGHTS OSTEOPOROSIS
Porridge oats are blended with milk, making an excellent source of calcium which is essential for bone health. Lack of calcium can lead to osteoporosis, which involves a loss of bone density and can make bones fragile.
15. CAN HELP DIETING
Porridge oats are 100 per cent natural, with no added sugar, salt or additives, and are naturally low in calories. An average bowl of porridge made with water contains 171 calories.
16. GOOD FOR PREGNANT WOMEN
Porridge is a source of folic acid. Studies have shown that taking folic acid from before conception until the 12th week of pregnancy can reduce the chances of having a baby with spina bifida. Pregnant women need 400mcg of folic acid a day.
17. FIGHTS CANCER
Oats are rich in the antioxidant vitamin E, which protects the body from the damaging free radicals that can cause cancer. A diet high in soluble fibre foods such as porridge oats might also help reduce the chances of developing bowel, colon and breast cancer.
18. CONTAINS ESSENTIAL MINERALS
Porridge is a good source of manganese, which is essential in allowing the body to produce energy as well as helping to build bones and connective tissue. It also contains zinc, which is needed for normal growth, sexual development and reproduction, and a healthy immune system.
19. REDUCES BLOOD PRESSURE
A daily serving of oats can improve blood pressure control and reduce the need for anti-hypertensive medication, according to U.S. researchers - 73 per cent of those fed a wholegrain oat-based cereal (containing 3g of soluble fibre) stopped or reduced their blood pressure medication by half.
20. COULD HELP LONG LIFE
Britain's longest living man, David Henderson, from Montrose, Scotland, who died in 1998 at 109, attributed his age and good health to a daily bowl of porridge. This could be because the lipids present in oats contain a good balance of essential fatty acids which have been linked to longevity and general good health.
Research by: Angela Epstein
Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that involves limiting the amount of food a person eats. It results in starvation and an inability to stay at the minimum body weight considered healthy for the person's age and height. Persons with this disorder may have an intense fear of weight gain, even when they are underweight. Not eating enough food or exercising too much results in severe weight loss.
Most individuals with anorexia nervosa do not recognize that they have an eating disorder. The exact causes of anorexia nervosa are unknown, though many factors are involved: genetics and social attitudes toward body appearance may play an important role. Some experts have suggested that conflicts within a family may contribute to this eating disorder. Anorexia nervosa usually occurs in adolescence or young adulthood and is most common in females. The eating disorder is seen mainly in Caucasian women who are high academic achievers and who have a goal-oriented family or personality.
Behaviors that may be noticed in a person with anorexia include:
Cutting food into small pieces, Exercising compulsively, Going to the bathroom right after meals, Quickly eating large amounts of food, Restricting the amount of food eaten, and Using laxatives, enemas, or diuretics inappropriately in an effort to lose weight
Complications due to Anorexia may include:
Appearance of fine baby-like body hair (lanugo), Bloating or edema, Electrolyte imbalance (such as potassium insufficiency), Decrease in white blood cells which leads to increased risk of infection, Heart arrhythmias, Osteoporosis, Severe dehydration (possibly leading to shock), Severe malnutrition, Seizures due to fluid loss from excessive diarrhea or vomiting, Thyroid gland problems (which can lead to cold intolerance and constipation) and Tooth erosion and decay

Papaya Health Benefits:
* Papaya contains the digestive enzyme papain and therefore valuable for aiding digestion.
* The unique protein-digesting enzymes; papain and chymopapain have been shown to help lower inflammation and to improve healing from burns in addition to helping in digestion of proteins. The antioxidant nutrients found in papaya, including vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene, are also very good at reducing inflammation.
* The ripe fruit is easily digestible and prevents constipation.
* Case studies indicate that this food taken alone for two or three days has a highly beneficial tonic effect upon the stomach and intestines.
* The juice of the papaya aids in relieving infections of the colon and has a tendency to break down pus and mucus reached by the juice.
* May help prevent cancer in organs and glands with epithelial tissue (ripe papaya). Papaya’s fiber is able to bind to cancer-causing toxins in the colon and keep them away from the healthy colon cells. In addition, papaya’s folate, vitamin C, beta-carotene, and vitamin E have each been associated with a reduced risk of colon cancer
* Prevents nausea (includes morning sickness and motion sickness)
* The seeds are antihelmintic, for expelling worms and they are given with honey. Chew and swallow two teaspoonfuls of seeds after each principal meal (three times a day).
* Papayas may be very helpful for the prevention of atherosclerosis and diabetic heart disease. Papayas are an excellent source of vitamin C as well as a good source of vitamin E and vitamin A (through their concentration of pro-vitamin A carotenoid phytonutrients), three very powerful antioxidants.
* Papayas are also a good source of fiber, which has been shown to lower high cholesterol levels.

Yosselle “Joe” Greenstein—more commonly known as the Mighty Atom—was often called the “smallest strongman in the universe.” His 70+-year career was built on brawn and huckster charm, in which he combined astounding strength with clever showmanship.
Born 3 months premature to a poor family in Suvlak, Poland in 1893, Greenstein’s early life offered little indication of his future career as a world-famous sideshow strongman. At the age of 14, he contracted tuberculosis and was given a bleak diagnosis, but he astounded his doctors by making a full recovery. Thereafter, Greenstein adopted a physical and spiritual dedication to fortifying his body, and much like Theodore Roosevelt, embraced the “strenuous life.” He ran away to join the circus and spent a year and half apprenticing under a circus strongman, Champion Volanko, from whom Greenstein learned diet and exercise rituals that helped him to transform his frail body into a 5’4” powerhouse.
During his career he was known for biting iron nails in half, twisting steel spikes and horseshoes with his bare hands, breaking chains by expanding his chest, pulling cars with his teeth, and holding taxiing airplanes to the ground with chains attached to his hair. Greenstein performed these astounding acts well into his 80s, attracting thousands to see him perform at Madison Square Garden just months before his death!
Greenstein attributed his remarkable strength to clean living, a nutritious diet and vigorous physical exercise. But his career relied as much on his strength as on his celebrity and charisma. He demonstrated these skills as a carnival barker and salesman, marketing a line of personal care products that included “natural” soap, liniment, hair tonic, and Pep-o-lax, an herbal “regulator” to be used for “temporary constipation” and promoting vigor. Greenstein sold these products beginning in the 1940s or even earlier, through the 1970s. Working out of the back of his 1937 Ford truck at farmers markets in the greater New York area, he enticed customers with his strongman stunts and, after bending 60-penny nails and horseshoes before their eyes, explained that they too could enjoy such strength and vitality into old age by using his products.
Though the ability of these products to do what they claim is dubious at best, Greenstein’s products were never found to violate federal food and drug laws. Yet, Pep-o-lax is among the artifacts in FDA’s history vault because it reflects one of the many ingenious (and outlandish) marketing tactics used to sell various lifestyle products over the course of the 20th century.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a flowering plant whose rhizome, ginger root or simply ginger, is widely used as a spice or a folk medicine.
It is a herbaceous perennial which grows annual stems about a meter tall bearing narrow green leaves and yellow flowers. Ginger is in the family Zingiberaceae, to which also belong turmeric (Curcuma longa), cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum), and galangal. Ginger originated in the tropical rainforest in Southern Asia. Although ginger no longer grows wild, it is thought to have originated on the Indian subcontinent because the ginger plants grown in India show the largest amount of genetic variation. Ginger was exported to Europe via India in the first century AD as a result of the lucrative spice trade and was used extensively by the Romans.
The distantly related dicots in the genus Asarum are commonly called wild ginger because of their similar taste.
ETYMOLOGY
The origin of "ginger" is from the mid-14th century, from Old English gingifer, from Medieval Latin gingiber, from Latin zingiberi, from Greek zingiberis, from Prakrit (Middle Indic) singabera, from Sanskrit srngaveram, from srngam "horn" + vera- "body", from the shape of its root. But this may be Sanskrit folk etymology, and the word may be from an ancient Dravidian name that also produced the Tamil and Malayalam name for the spice, inchi-ver, from inchi "root." cf. gin (v.). The word probably was readopted in Middle English from Old French gingibre (modern French gingembre).
HORTICULTURE
Ginger produces clusters of white and pink flower buds that bloom into yellow flowers. Because of its aesthetic appeal and the adaptation of the plant to warm climates, it is often used as landscaping around subtropical homes. It is a perennial reed-like plant with annual leafy stems, about a meter (3 to 4 feet) tall. Traditionally, the rhizome is gathered when the stalk withers; it is immediately scalded, or washed and scraped, to kill it and prevent sprouting. The fragrant perisperm of the Zingiberaceae is used as sweetmeats by Bantu, and also as a condiment and sialagogue.
USES
Ginger produces a hot, fragrant kitchen spice.[6] Young ginger rhizomes are juicy and fleshy with a very mild taste. They are often pickled in vinegar or sherry as a snack or cooked as an ingredient in many dishes. They can be steeped in boiling water to make ginger tisane, to which honey is often added; sliced orange or lemon fruit may be added. Ginger can be made into candy, or ginger wine, which has been made commercially since 1740.
Mature ginger rhizomes are fibrous and nearly dry. The juice from ginger roots is often used as a seasoning in Indian recipes and is a common ingredient of Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, and many South Asian cuisines for flavoring dishes such as seafood, meat, and vegetarian dishes.
Fresh ginger can be substituted for ground ginger at a ratio of six to one, although the flavors of fresh and dried ginger are somewhat different. Powdered dry ginger root is typically used as a flavoring for recipes such as gingerbread, cookies, crackers and cakes, ginger ale, and ginger beer.
Candied ginger, or crystallized ginger, is the root cooked in sugar until soft, and is a type of confectionery.
Fresh ginger may be peeled before eating. For longer-term storage, the ginger can be placed in a plastic bag and refrigerated or frozen.
REGIONAL USES
In Indian cuisine, ginger is a key ingredient, especially in thicker gravies, as well as in many other dishes, both vegetarian and meat-based. Ginger also has a role in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. It is an ingredient in traditional Indian drinks, both cold and hot, including spiced masala chai. Fresh ginger is one of the main spices used for making pulse and lentil curries and other vegetable preparations. Fresh ginger together with peeled garlic cloves is crushed or ground to form ginger garlic masala. Fresh, as well as dried, ginger is used to spice tea and coffee, especially in winter. In south India, "sambharam" is a summer yogurt drink made with ginger as a key ingredient, along with green chillies, salt and curry leaves. Ginger powder is used in food preparations intended primarily for pregnant or nursing women, the most popular one being katlu, which is a mixture of gum resin, ghee, nuts, and sugar. Ginger is also consumed in candied and pickled form.
In Japan, ginger is pickled to make beni shoga and gari or grated and used raw on tofu or noodles. It is made into a candy called shoga no sato zuke. In the traditional Korean kimchi, ginger is either finely minced or just juiced to avoid the fibrous texture and added to the ingredients of the spicy paste just before the fermenting process.
In Burma, ginger is called gyin. It is widely used in cooking and as a main ingredient in traditional medicines. It is consumed as a salad dish called gyin-thot, which consists of shredded ginger preserved in oil, with a variety of nuts and seeds.
In Thailand' where it is called ขิง khing, it is used to make a ginger garlic paste in cooking.
In Indonesia, a beverage called wedang jahe is made from ginger and palm sugar. Indonesians also use ground ginger root, called jahe, as a common ingredient in local recipes.
In Malaysia, ginger is called halia and used in many kinds of dishes, especially soups.
Called luya in the Philippines, ginger is a common ingredient in local dishes and is brewed as a tea called salabat.
In Vietnam, the fresh leaves, finely chopped, can be added to shrimp-and-yam soup (canh khoai mỡ) as a top garnish and spice to add a much subtler flavor of ginger than the chopped root.
In China, sliced or whole ginger root is often paired with savory dishes such as fish, and chopped ginger root is commonly paired with meat, when it is cooked. Candied ginger is sometimes a component of Chinese candy boxes, and a herbal tea can be prepared from ginger.
In the Caribbean, ginger is a popular spice for cooking and for making drinks such as sorrel, a drink made during the Christmas season. Jamaicans make ginger beer both as a carbonated beverage and also fresh in their homes. Ginger tea is often made from fresh ginger, as well as the famous regional specialty Jamaican ginger cake.
On the island of Corfu, Greece, a traditional drink called τσιτσιμπύρα (tsitsibira), a type of ginger beer, is made. The people of Corfu and the rest of the Ionian islands adopted the drink from the British, during the period of the United States of the Ionian Islands.
In Arabic, ginger is called zanjabil and in some parts of the Middle East, gingayu (生姜湯). The Hebrew name for the spice, zangevil, is a variation on the name.
In Western cuisine, ginger is traditionally used mainly in sweet foods such as ginger ale, gingerbread, ginger snaps, parkin, ginger biscuits, and speculaas. A ginger-flavored liqueur called Canton is produced in Jarnac, France. Ginger wine is a ginger-flavored wine produced in the United Kingdom, traditionally sold in a green glass bottle. Ginger is also used as a spice added to hot coffee and tea.
SIMILAR INGREDIENTS
Myoga (Zingiber mioga 'Roscoe') appears in Japanese cuisine; the flower buds are the part eaten.
Another plant in the Zingiberaceae family, galangal, is used for similar purposes as ginger in Thai cuisine. Galangal is also called Thai ginger, fingerroot (Boesenbergia rotunda), Chinese ginger, or the Thai krachai.
A dicotyledonous native species of eastern North America, Asarum canadense, is also known as "wild ginger", and its root has similar aromatic properties, but it is not related to true ginger. The plant contains aristolochic acid, a carcinogenic compound.[9] The United States Food and Drug Administration warns that consumption of aristolochic acid-containing products is associated with "permanent kidney damage, sometimes resulting in kidney failure that has required kidney dialysis or kidney transplantation. In addition, some patients have developed certain types of cancers, most often occurring in the urinary tract."
PRODUCTION
In 2013, with a global production of 2.1 million tonnes of ginger, India accounted for 33%, followed by China (19%), Nepal, Indonesia, and Nigeria.
NUTRITIOAL INFORMATION
In 100 grams, ground dried ginger (10% water) provides numerous essential nutrients in high content, particularly the dietary mineral manganese as a multiple of its Daily Value (DV, table). In a typical spice serving amount of one US tablespoon or 5 g, however, ginger powder provides negligible content of essential nutrients, with the exception of manganese present as 79% of DV (USDA database).
Due to its higher content of water (80%), raw ginger root has lower overall nutrient content when expressed per 100 grams.
COMPOSITION AND SAFETY
If consumed in reasonable quantities, ginger has few negative side effects. It is on the FDA's "generally recognized as safe" list, though it does interact with some medications, including the anticoagulant drug warfarin and the cardiovascular drug, nifedipine.
Products of Chinese origin found in Taiwan contained ginger contaminated with diisobutyl phthalate, causing some 80,000 nutritional supplement capsules made with imported ginger powder to be seized by the Public Health Department of Taiwan in June 2011.
CHEMISTRY
The characteristic fragrance and flavor of ginger result from volatile oils that compose 1-3% of the weight of fresh ginger, primarily consisting of zingerone, shogaols and gingerols with [6]-gingerol (1-[4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl]-5-hydroxy-3-decanone) as the major pungent compound. Zingerone is produced from gingerols during drying, having lower pungency and a spicy-sweet aroma.
BIOLOG'ICAL EFFECTS
Ginger has a sialagogue action, stimulating the production of saliva, which makes swallowing easier.
Ginger is a minor chemical irritant and, because of this, was used as a horse suppository by pre-World War I mounted regiments for gingering.
MEDICINAL USE AND RESEARCH
Oral or topical uses of ginger to treat various disorders, such as nausea or arthritis pain, are under research, but no conclusions are possible from these studies about its effectiveness or safety in long-term use.
In limited studies, ginger was found to be more effective than placebo for treating nausea caused by seasickness, morning sickness, and chemotherapy, although it was not found superior to placebo for treating postoperative nausea. Studies have found no clear evidence of harm from taking ginger during pregnancy, though its safety has not been established.
Allergic reactions to ginger generally result in a rash. Although generally recognized as safe, ginger can cause heartburn and other side effects, particularly if taken in powdered form. Unchewed fresh ginger may result in intestinal blockage, and individuals who have had ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, or blocked intestines may react badly to large quantities of fresh ginger. It can also adversely affect individuals with gallstones and may interfere with the effects of anticoagulants, such as warfarin or aspirin.
Studies are inconclusive about the effects of using ginger for nausea or pain associated with various ailments. Side effects, mostly associated with consuming powdered ginger, are gas, bloating, heartburn, and nausea.
Ginger powder may be effective for primary dysmenorrhea.
Cultivars, preparation, and folk medicine
Ginger properties depend on a number of factors, such as cultivar, plant segment, and preparation method (dried or cooked). Examples:
One traditional medical form of ginger historically called "Jamaica ginger" was classified as a stimulant and carminative, and used frequently for dyspepsia, gastroparesis, slow gut motility symptoms, constipation, or colic.

In the 16th century this was called papillaris by the apothecaries, after the Latin papilla meaning nipple, since the herb was traditionally employed to treat cracked nipples or to promote the flow of milk from the breast, a use which may originally have been suggested by the nipple-shaped unopened flower buds. In some parts of Europe ointments made from the fresh juice are still used for this purpose.

Beets...they took a while for me to get used to. I had read once that they were the #1 food for losing weight, because they help digest fat. Well, I didn't think it was worth eating them then...but when I started having gallbladder/liver problems, I decided it was time to get cozy with them again. Beets in my opinion are one of the greatest Superfoods out there. My friends father came down with cancer of the liver...she asked his doctor what he should be eating and was given the reply of "whatever he wants.", almost as if it didn't matter since he was given anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to live. I feel it's wrong. The medical profession isn't very educated on nutritional therapy. Food IS very healing people...it's my mission this week to share with you the benefits of these Super foods and maybe you can include them in your diets and feel just as good as I have been lately. :-)

Never tried beets before? Well, hate to tell you, but they taste like they look. :-/ I personally think they have an earthy, almost dirt taste to them, which can be cool if you remember liking the taste of dirt as a kid! I didn't....
You can get beets in a can, cut em up and add them to some mixed greens, goat cheese and a vinaigrette dressing. You can barely taste them in your salad that way, and a good way to trick yourself into eating them because let's face it, when you're in pain and THIS is what's going to make it feel better, then it's time to suck it up and eat them like an adult! (this is what I told myself)
A friend of mine taught me to roast them, which made them very yummy and totally edible!
Clean them well, cut the top and rat tails off :-) I don't peel them...so it's important to buy them organic.
I quarter them, depending on how big they are...but you want them small enough for them to cook quickly. In a Pyrex pan, I add them with a diced shallot, olive oil, juice from a lemon and an orange, light salt & pepper and into the oven for about 45 min at 350*. You can use the juice from your ingredients in your salad and this version of the salad above is kicked up to a whole other level. Enjoy.

Mit dieser Hibiscusblüte wünsche ich all meinen flickr Freunden ein wunderschönes Wochenende!
With this hibiscus blossom, I wish all my flickr friends a wonderful weekend!
Hibiskus (Hibiscus), einige Arten werden auch Eibisch genannt, ist eine Gattung aus der Familie der Malvengewächse (Malvaceae) mit etwa 300 Arten, die hauptsächlich in den wärmeren Gebieten der Welt verbreitet ist.
Ein Extrakt aus Hibiskusblüten hat ähnliche gefäßschützende Eigenschaften wie Rotwein, Traubensaft oder Tee. Die im Hibiskus enthaltenen Antioxidantien haben einen positiven Einfluss auf die Cholesterinwerte und können damit Herz- und Kreislauferkrankungen vorbeugen.
In Australien (und mittlerweile auch in Europa) werden in Zuckersirup eingelegte Hibiskusblüten (beispielsweise der Art Hibiscus sabdariffa) mit Sekt oder Champagner aufgegossen als Aperitif serviert.
Unter der Bezeichnung Karkadeh (كركا ده) ist Hibiskusblütentee in Ägypten und im Sudan ein beliebtes Getränk. Der tiefrote Tee wird heiß oder kalt getrunken und ist, gerade kalt, eine köstliche Erfrischung in der heißen Jahreszeit.
In China gilt der Hibiskus als Symbol für Ruhm, Reichtum und Pracht sowie für die sexuelle Anziehungskraft eines jungen Mädchens. Erwähnt sei die in vielen Varianten gebräuchliche Erzählung Der Hibiskusschirm.
Hibiscus, or rosemallow, is a large genus of about 200–220 species of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae, native to warm temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. The genus includes both annual and perennial herbaceous plants, and woody shrubs and small trees.
Extracts of some hibiscus species are claimed to have health benefits, including prevention of constipation, bladder infections and nausea, and high blood pressure. The studies that yielded these results are debated. An unspecified hibiscus plant is used to make a herbal tea, typically blended with rosehip.
The bark of the hibiscus contains strong fibers. They can be obtained by letting the stripped bark sit in the sea for some time in order to let the organic material rot away. In Polynesia these fibers (fau, pūrau) are used for making grass skirts. They have also been known to be used to make wigs.
Hibiscus, espcially white hibiscus is considered to have medicinal properties in the Indian traditional system of medicine, Ayurveda. Roots are used to make various decoctions believed to cure various ailments.
