Mushrooms+aloe vera+green tea+ASA+ Talking with neighbors

[Guest guest]

Mushrooms are classified by many as one of the 'unknown wonders' of " modern

medicine " right up there with ASA, Green Tea, and Aloe Vera Juice (or gel if

applied topically).  A cautionary note for all - use an air and light proof

container to store them -- at moderate temps.  Aloe Vera generally comes best

from Lilly of the Desert who uses BROWN GLASS  BOTTLES for their organic juices

and gels, and a Proprietary mulch-layered plastic for their non-organic

(preservatives added)  which keeps out both light and oxygen as most all

plastics are not air-tight at the molecular level.  NEVER EVER use Aloe Vera

from any clear bottle as the photons in the light will break the long-chain

photopolyscarides that ARE the active ingredient.  Green tea will oxidize in

non-airtight containers, so I recommend " peets.com " for their green teas which

come in air-tight tins and stay fresh for many seasons - The secret is to look

for the 'foma' which appears mostly with

coffee, but you'll see it with Tea as well - tiny bits of foam which form

around the edge of the pot, or your cup if you make a cup of tea.  I Recommend

peets.com also because they have some of the lower-priced highest grade tea I

have found anywhere.  The stuff on your supermarket shelf, even the 'high-end'

brands is still the bottom of the grading bucket, it is to tea as instant coffee

is to coffee. 

Tea turns from White tea to Green by a small amount of oxidation - then on up

the darkness ladder as you oxidize it more and more. Oxidation is a problem with

most all 'medicines' - and it happens with spices on your shelf, just as it

happens with the tea you drink, and the meds you take - THAT is generally what

the 'expiration date is' -- the date by which enough of the active compounds

have oxidized and become lower in dose, or changed compositions.

When I started using MedLine (there was only one library linked at the time) and

Aloe Vera brought tup 19 hits.  Now it brings up thousands. It has been shown

to REVERSE HEPATIC, RENAL and some GI damage, is KNOWN to reverse some cases of

Diabetes II.  It is also a POWERFUL anti-inflammatory, and boosts MULTIPLE

components of your Immune System - It is liner in effectiveness, but is self

limiting, so I generally recommend that you end up doing 2-2-4 Liquid Ounces

(AM-NOON-BEDTIME) by simply titraing to that dose starting at 1-0-1 and moving

up to 1-1-1, keeping the large dose in the evening as your body goes into

'repair' mode.

Green Tea is measured in 16 ounce cups, not 'tea cups. And warm-hot seems to be

better than hot, tepid or iced. 

ASA (Aspirin) 1 full adult strength dose a say for IMMUNE SYSTEM BOOSTING - or

two low dose tabs AM-PM.  If you'd rather not do this for a long period -- a

year is long enough to run the affects out for several years - and while is was

mostly found to work most actively on GI cancers, recent studies have shown it

to work on nearly ALL soft-cell ca tumors.  More on some than on others, and it

is now becoming an adjunct protocol for concurrent used with multiple

chemotherapy agents. 

MUSHROOMS -- generally the darker the better -- have also been shown to have

multiple organ effects, and Immune system responses, and anti-cancer activity -

when I started there were zero hits in Medline, and now in Pubmed I just rand

the search terms and found just over 800 hits.  The increase in hits follow a

pattern - does it work?  who well does it work?  and finally what part works,

how does it work, and how well does THAT work? -- right now Mushrooms and Aloe

Vera are in the last stage -- WHAT PART WORKS and HOW? -- meaning that there is

very little, if ANY question that they are potent anti-cancer and Immune system

builders - so the rush is on to find the drugs that make them work so well. 

Once those are found, then the companies can start making money off them. ASA

and Green Tea are PROVEN - ASA can't be patented, it already has been, and now

it's on the generic market - and components from Green Tea is into human phase

II and phase III

studies. 

So - here are some lines from PubMed and their ID numbers:

" Treatment enhanced the declined levels of antioxidants and comet

parameters to a significant level, indicating its antioxidant as well as DNA

protecting potential. Significant increase in the survival rate of animals was

also observed . . . " PMID: 22340512  

--------------------------------------------------------

It is already well established that medicinal mushrooms represent a

potential source for biologically active compounds with

immunomodulating, free radical scavenging, anti-inflammatory,

antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, hepatoprotective, antidiabetic,

and anticancer activities. . .PMID: 22339703

----------------------------------------------------------

We conclude that [ed. the mushroom] P. pulmonarius FBE and ME inhibit

colitis-associated

colon carcinogenesis induced in mice through the modulation of cell

proliferation, induction of apoptosis, and inhibition of inflammation.  PMID:

22187166 [ed. " mushrooms inhibit some colon cancers. " ]

-----------------------------------------------------------

PSK [ed. read " Mushroom " ] also augmented docetaxel-induced splenic

natural killer

cell cytolytic activity against YAC-1 target cells (p=0.045). This

study is the first to show that PSK enhances docetaxel-induced

prostate cancer tumor suppression, apoptosis and antitumor responses....

PMID:22159900

---------------------------------------------------------

and the hits keep on rolling out - you have the PubMed site - You can do your

own search, or simply google the PMID #. 

So please don't be so quick in your dismissal of mushrooms from your diet - I

would double think it if I lived in a big-agra area or in any large city.  Even

small cities which set in valleys, are worrisome - just think how many tons of

something as simple as tire and asphalt dust sit in the air at any given

moment.  All those worn out tires have their dust go somewhere - and it's

really no different than sniffing hot pavement, or hydrocarbons - HAVE YOU HAD

YOUR DAILY DOSE OF HYDROCARBONS TODAY?

HINT ON SPROUTING WITHOUT FANCY EQUIPMENT. Nature has been doing it for hundreds

of millions of years before man was around, so it's really not ALL that

difficult to do.  Keep stuff damp, keep it warm, and keep it dark (for the most

part) - Burlap and cotton sheets have always been good stand buys.  Plastic is

a VERY new comer to the scene, and having both a background in caring for the

environment and fixing it backup when people or animals have ruined it, and in

the para-health care professions - I'd prefer to see plastics used for what is

really necessary in an OR/Hospital  or on the battle field and use renewable

things like glass whenever possible.  Using a plastic tray is not much

different than driving a few hundred miles out of your way. 

Though there are substitutes for petrol based products, most never seem to seek

them out - but purchase that plate or gaget that represents a hundred or more

miles of driving around in a car - undoing the damage we have already done to

our planet.

And as I leave you today let me remind you of a time when things moved a bit

slower -- and people made friends who actually helped each other.  The word is

'talk to each other' -- you'd be surprised how many 'friends' I have around even

though I am doing a LOT of what they HATE to be done:  I am inviting native

species to live next door to their ranch that their family has a LONG history of

destroying.  And often I'll slow down on a back desert road to have a quick

chat with a rancher from the ranch next to the one I am working with. " how's

them coyotes commin? " they'll joke.  " Oh just fine -- seem we have a couple of

pups back by the spring cave " -- " Well, don't worry, I've got my .243 right were

I need it! " and points to the Remington or Marlin on the riffle rack behind

him. " Well hope you have it sighed in so you don't miss. It's always a shame to

miss one and have it die a few days later. "   -- " I don't know what'd be worse

-- you showing up with

a dead coyote and putting it in my drive way -- or me goading you by hangin up

a clean kill on the fence along the North or East Line!? " -- " Well, to me, seems

both don't do no one any good in the end. " -- and so we talk - opposite sides of

the fence, literally.  Coyotes eat rabbits and prefer mice and rats.  RARE is

the calf lost to Coyotes.  

But come a fire and we are cutting line next to each other, and if it's a ways

out, it's never uncommon to see a rancher heading your cattle along with theirs

no words about what side of the 'coyote problem' you are on - And many a time a

ranch I've been working with has taken in cattle from a neighbor, or theirs have

been taken in by a neighbor -- it's simply the polite thing to do.

When you slow down and talk -- people learn to trust you - and you them - and

then comes the 'special deal' - or the 'extra effort' to find something for you

-- and of course, you bring them a present, or offer to help with a job - or

bring back something from town -- but in grange meetings there sure can be a LOT

of shouting -- but in the end -- we've talked by the side of the road sipping

beer in the cabs of our pickups and spread the gossip that's fit to be spread

since gossip has limits when you live with folks - and that 5-30 minute talk

you've had is like setting a 'spot weld' -- and just like families - some will

like you right away, and some won't -- the one thing that always endures is

respect for another point of view that's been shared over MANY hours of talking

- from the special trip you have to take into town JUST to make the 'ranchers

special' at the Rio Cafe that runs from 4:30AM - 5:30 AM and then the doors are

locked and people are out

the door by 6:00 so they can re-open at 6:30 for the town 'regulars' and their

'breakfast menu' - it's where you meet up for regional gossip -- to the quick

beer in the shade of a tree down by Cottonwood willow creek - where you just say

'where you been what you been up to, how's the Mrs and kids and the cattle any

more trouble with the high marshy meadow - you seen any of them BLM Rangers

recently?  And they do the same to you.

The problem you sometimes have is for minimum wage you are paying a 'stock boy'

-- who works for a 'manager' who might or might now know about the difference

between a viola and a violet but if you stick with a local Business - not only

do they NEED your business most are run by people who know stuff - and once you

being to call things the same thing - you understand each other -- and always

ask for a referral and GIVE the referral 'Jim over at the five-dot said I should

talk to you about if I should set of a small charge in my well, or use some kind

of chemical cocktail you have that eats up the alkali deposits that's slowin'

her down .  I've always used a small charge inside a steel fitting lowered in

first, but he said I ought to talk to you . . .  .  . " -- and then we get into

who sent me -- and then say - well, as I told Jim . . . (you tell him what you

told Jim so everyone on the same page. "   One of these days you'll find someone

who's probably

right around the corner from you who's forgotten more about sprouting than

you'll ever learn.  And a lot of times he's the one who follows you outside and

says, ah, buy the way, says A, B and C - but I think if you try X,Y, and

then some Z you might have better luck -- and then you go find a place to sit

and talk - cafe or a mug of beer at the saloon or bar -- and DANG! THIS guy

known enough to bury me and this ENTIRE town in what he (or she) knows.  Lord

Knows, our Ranch has gone from raising cattle full time to doing consulting work

for over 250 ranches over time -- and I doubt that there's a day I'm not on the

job looking at something with my two partners and NONE of us have seen it, (both

have PhD's from Reno in wildland ranching) and the one MIGHT say - well, once I

remember reading or hearing that . . . . so we check it out -- and often around

Christmas some old rancher will say -- Oh yeah! My grand-daddy once told me

that  . . . . and

there it was right under our nose. 

So slow down, talk awhile with your LOCAL 'mom-n-pop' store - be it ACE or Big

-O or Bob's Fix-O-Matic.  You might be surprised how much they REALLY value

your patronage, and just because you call them a 'Healband' and he calls them a

'Shank' - or a 'Yoke-Shank' doesn't mean he doesn't know how to build or fix a

spur - it could well be that he's come up from New Mxico or over from Wyoming -

he still can shovel so much knowledge your way you'd be a month of blue moons

digesting all of what he just told you -- so SHOP LOCAL - they know more than

ANY big name store than you can imagine, and has a LOT more motivation to find

your the right answer than, say, the minimum wage clerk with no chance for

advancement for at LEAST another 10 months IF he doesn't miss a day's work in

that time!

So -- Aloe Vera, Green Tea, ASA, and Mushrooms! -- and SLOW DOWN and talk to

your neighbors, they know more than you give them credit for -- honest! --

take care all of you - paul
