Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 For anyone interested in Cinnamon I thought I'd post this information I found some time ago on Shamon's site. " If you think cinnamon is simply something to sprinkle on your holiday cookies or cappuccino, think again. The popular spice, once considered more precious than gold, has medicinal value that is making even pharmaceutical companies take notice. Cinnamon, it turns out, has long been used to cure everything from athlete’s foot to indigestion. Early civilizations recognized its ability to stop bacterial growth. The Egyptians used it in embalming. During the Middle Ages, it was mixed with cloves and warm water, and placed in the sick rooms of victims of the Bubonic Plague. Recent research indicates that cinnamon can have favorable effects on brain function. Participants in a study chewed cinnamon gum or smelled the sweet spice. Cognitive tests revealed that subjects who used cinnamon had better memory functions and could process information more quickly. Encouraged by these findings, scientists will now conduct studies to see if cinnamon will improve mental skills in the elderly and those prone to anxiety before testing. That antiseptic power of the spice could also account for a couple of other medical applications for cinnamon. A Japanese study suggests it can not only soothe the stomach, it may even help prevent ulcers. German research claims cinnamon “suppresses completely” the bacteria that causes urinary tract infections and the fungus associated with yeast infections as well. But few could have predicted its current high profile. Recent headlines about cinnamon are the result of an accidental finding in a land USDA research center. Incredibly, the catalyst was as American as good old apple pie, flavored with -- what else -- cinnamon. Scientists were testing the effects of various foods on blood sugar (glucose) levels. They expected the classic pie to have an adverse effect, but instead they found it actually helped lower blood glucose levels. The researchers then took their surprising discovery and tested it in a small 60 patient study conducted in Pakistan, reporting in the journal Diabetes Care. All the patients had been treated for type 2, adult onset diabetes for several years and were taking anti-diabetic drugs to increase their insulin output. But they were not yet taking insulin to help process their blood glucose. The subjects were given small doses of cinnamon ranging from as little as a quarter teaspoon to less than 2 teaspoons a day for 40 days. The results: Not only did the cinnamon reduce their blood sugar levels and increase their natural production of insulin, it lowered their blood cholesterol as well. Even 20 days after the cinnamon treatment had ended, the patients continued to see beneficial effects. This is good news for the more than 50 million Americans who suffer from diabetes and/or heart disease. All the patients in the study showed better glucose metabolism and natural insulin production when they took cinnamon capsules that delivered less than two teaspoons a day of the spice. Specifically, their blood cholesterol levels were lowered in the range of 10 to 26 percent, affecting overall cholesterol levels and reducing the LDL (known as the “bad” cholesterol) but not reducing levels of HDL, the “good” cholesterol. This is also potentially good news for the many millions more of us who suffer from insulin resistance, sometimes known as “prediabetes,” or the “Metabolic Syndrome.” Lowering blood sugar levels, and improving cholesterol ratios can help reverse prediabetes and Metabolic Syndrome, and in fact may actually prevent the worsening of health to full diabetes. In addition, addressing elevated blood sugar levels and helping to combat insulin resistance may be a successful factor in helping you lose weight. The fat cells in your abdomen are particularly sensitive to high insulin levels, and are very effective at storing energy – far more so that fat cells you’d find in other areas such as the lower body (i.e. hips, rear end, thighs). Because abdominal fat cells are so close to your digestive organs, and there is an extensive network of blood vessels circulating in the abdominal area, it’s even easier for fat cells to store excess glucose there. So tactics that help to reduce If you suffer from elevated cholesterol or diabetes you will want to consult your physician before beginning to use cinnamon in large quantities. And if you are already taking a diabetes medication, you should talk to your physician before trying cinnamon for medicinal uses, because cinnamon may have an impact on your blood sugar. Using Cinnamon Some people prefer to use cinnamon as a supplement, and this is certainly a safe and effective way to incorporate cinnamon into your diet. Be sure you pick a quality supplement. Others would rather get their ½ to 2 teaspoons of cinnamon a day using the spice in their foods. The cinnamon you can pick up off any grocery shelf comes from the bark of the evergreen cinnamon tree, and was probably grown in China. You’ll find it in stick or ground form at most markets and health food stores " --- Judy P wrote: > And your blood pressure...

This is good news for the more than 50 millionAmericans who suffer from diabetes and/or heartdisease. All the patients in the study showed betterglucose metabolism and natural insulin production whenthey took cinnamon capsules that delivered less thantwo teaspoons a day of the spice. Specifically, their blood cholesterol levels werelowered in the range of 10 to 26 percent, affectingoverall cholesterol levels and reducing the LDL (knownas the “bad” cholesterol) but not reducing levels ofHDL, the “good” cholesterol. This is also potentially good news for the manymillions more of us who suffer from insulinresistance, sometimes known as “prediabetes,” or the“Metabolic Syndrome.” Lowering blood sugar levels, andimproving cholesterol ratios can help reverseprediabetes and Metabolic Syndrome, and in fact mayactually prevent the worsening of health to fulldiabetes. In addition, addressing elevated blood sugar levelsand helping to combat insulin resistance may be asuccessful factor in helping you lose weight. The fatcells in your abdomen are particularly sensitive tohigh insulin levels, and are very effective at storingenergy – far more so that fat cells you’d find inother areas such as the lower body (i.e. hips, rearend, thighs). Because abdominal fat cells are so closeto your digestive organs, and there is an extensivenetwork of blood vessels circulating in the abdominalarea, it’s even easier for fat cells to store excessglucose there. So tactics that help to reduce If you suffer from elevated cholesterol or diabetesyou will want to consult your physician beforebeginning to use cinnamon in large quantities. And ifyou are already taking a diabetes medication, youshould talk to your physician before trying cinnamonfor medicinal uses, because cinnamon may have animpact on your blood sugar. Using Cinnamon Some people prefer to use cinnamon as a supplement,and this is certainly a safe and effective way toincorporate cinnamon into your diet. Be sure you picka quality supplement. Others would rather get their ½ to 2 teaspoons ofcinnamon a day using the spice in their foods. Thecinnamon you can pick up off any grocery shelf comesfrom the bark of the evergreen cinnamon tree, and wasprobably grown in China.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Man I wish we could go back to those days!! Even tho it was harder work, it was still so much easier in many ways. I found that I can't eat turkey AT all, and chicken only on rare occasions. Eggs sometimes. And I believe that it's because of all the crap they put in the feed. From working at a feed store, I found that they put alot of "medicne" in the feeds to help keep the baby animals from getting sick. It works much better if you give them regular feed, THEN if they get sick, give them medicne. If they're already on drugs when they get sick, it's hard to treat them. All that drug and other crap they add is what I'm not able to tolerate anymore I'm thinking. I haven't been able to eat turkey for over 10 years. Every time I smell it, it smells rotten. My guess is no more turkey for me, which is fine. I got so sick on it, I separated some ribs. I'd rather not go there again. Spiff wrote: Both my grandfather and father kept beehives and madehoney. One of my fondest childhood memories is ofhelping with getting the honey from the comb.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Dairys used to be required to use the growth hormone. Now they've outlawed it. My stepdad refused to use it from the first.

Spiff wrote: For anyone interested in Cinnamon I thought I'd postthis information I found some time ago on Shamon's site."If you think cinnamon is simply something to sprinkleon your holiday cookies or cappuccino, think again.The popular spice, once considered more precious thangold, has medicinal value that is making evenpharmaceutical companies take notice. Cinnamon, it turns out, has long been used to cureeverything from athlete’s foot to indigestion. Earlycivilizations recognized its ability to stop bacterialgrowth. The Egyptians used it in embalming. During theMiddle Ages, it was mixed with cloves and warm water,and placed in the sick rooms of victims of the BubonicPlague. Recent research indicates that cinnamon can havefavorable effects on brain function. Participants in astudy chewed cinnamon gum or smelled the sweet spice.Cognitive tests revealed that subjects who usedcinnamon had better memory functions and could processinformation more quickly. Encouraged by thesefindings, scientists will now conduct studies to seeif cinnamon will improve mental skills in the elderlyand those prone to anxiety before testing. That antiseptic power of the spice could also accountfor a couple of other medical applications forcinnamon. A Japanese study suggests it can not onlysoothe the stomach, it may even help prevent ulcers.German research claims cinnamon “suppressescompletely” the bacteria that causes urinary tractinfections and the fungus associated with yeastinfections as well. But few could have predicted its current high profile.Recent headlines about cinnamon are the result of anaccidental finding in a land USDA research center.Incredibly, the catalyst was as American as good oldapple pie, flavored with -- what else -- cinnamon.Scientists were testing the effects of various foodson blood sugar (glucose) levels. They expected theclassic pie to have an adverse effect, but insteadthey found it actually helped lower blood glucoselevels. The researchers then took their surprising discoveryand tested it in a small 60 patient study conducted inPakistan, reporting in the journal Diabetes Care. Allthe patients had been treated for type 2, adult onsetdiabetes for several years and were takinganti-diabetic drugs to increase their insulin output.But they were not yet taking insulin to help processtheir blood glucose. The subjects were given smalldoses of cinnamon ranging from as little as a quarterteaspoon to less than 2 teaspoons a day for 40 days. The results: Not only did the cinnamon reduce theirblood sugar levels and increase their naturalproduction of insulin, it lowered their bloodcholesterol as well. Even 20 days after the cinnamontreatment had ended, the patients continued to seebeneficial effects. This is good news for the more than 50 millionAmericans who suffer from diabetes and/or heartdisease. All the patients in the study showed betterglucose metabolism and natural insulin production whenthey took cinnamon capsules that delivered less thantwo teaspoons a day of the spice. Specifically, their blood cholesterol levels werelowered in the range of 10 to 26 percent, affectingoverall cholesterol levels and reducing the LDL (knownas the “bad” cholesterol) but not reducing levels ofHDL, the “good” cholesterol. This is also potentially good news for the manymillions more of us who suffer from insulinresistance, sometimes known as “prediabetes,” or the“Metabolic Syndrome.” Lowering blood sugar levels, andimproving cholesterol ratios can help reverseprediabetes and Metabolic Syndrome, and in fact mayactually prevent the worsening of health to fulldiabetes. In addition, addressing elevated blood sugar levelsand helping to combat insulin resistance may be asuccessful factor in helping you lose weight. The fatcells in your abdomen are particularly sensitive tohigh insulin levels, and are very effective at storingenergy – far more so that fat cells you’d find inother areas such as the lower body (i.e. hips, rearend, thighs). Because abdominal fat cells are so closeto your digestive organs, and there is an extensivenetwork of blood vessels circulating in the abdominalarea, it’s even easier for fat cells to store excessglucose there. So tactics that help to reduce If you suffer from elevated cholesterol or diabetesyou will want to consult your physician beforebeginning to use cinnamon in large quantities. And ifyou are already taking a diabetes medication, youshould talk to your physician before trying cinnamonfor medicinal uses, because cinnamon may have animpact on your blood sugar. Using Cinnamon Some people prefer to use cinnamon as a supplement,and this is certainly a safe and effective way toincorporate cinnamon into your diet. Be sure you picka quality supplement. Others would rather get their ½ to 2 teaspoons ofcinnamon a day using the spice in their foods. Thecinnamon you can pick up off any grocery shelf comesfrom the bark of the evergreen cinnamon tree, and wasprobably grown in China. You’ll find it in stick orground form at most markets and health food stores"--- Judy P <ygroupsjp (AT) yahoo (DOT) com> wrote:> And your blood pressure...

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 eww separated ribs must have not been fun. don't worry... it's hard for me to eat poultry because it just tastes very... muscular? to me... I guess is the best way to say it. i eat a lot of hallal and haram and kosher foods for that reason... blood is drained and not as icky to cook & less risk of cross contamination. I just know at some point I'll phase out poultry and probably all cow (as I am allergic to pork and refuse to eat fluffy lambs) lol. andrea Re: Re: allergies Man I wish we could go back to those days!! Even tho it was harder work, it was still so much easier in many ways. I found that I can't eat turkey AT all, and chicken only on rare occasions. Eggs sometimes. And I believe that it's because of all the crap they put in the feed. From working at a feed store, I found that they put alot of "medicne" in the feeds to help keep the baby animals from getting sick. It works much better if you give them regular feed, THEN if they get sick, give them medicne. If they're already on drugs when they get sick, it's hard to treat them. All that drug and other crap they add is what I'm not able to tolerate anymore I'm thinking. I haven't been able to eat turkey for over 10 years. Every time I smell it, it smells rotten. My guess is no more turkey for me, which is fine. I got so sick on it, I separated some ribs. I'd rather not go there again.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 ya, lambs and calves I just can't hack. I go by the way that I react mentally to stuff now. For example: if I'm craving orange crush pop, that means I'm low on Vitamin C ( I'm allergic to it so can't take it daily ), if an omelet sounds reeeely good, I'll have one, if it sounds eeeh or nah, then I don't. If it sounds just plain nasty, I avoid it altogether. Haven't gone wrong doing this yet.Spiff Teague wrote: eww separated ribs must have not been fun. don't worry... it's hard for me to eat poultry because it just tastes very... muscular? to me...
