Adding ginger to your tea, meat marinades, and vegetable dishes such as coleslaw and salad dressings is an excellent way to boost the chemopreventive properties of your meals and beverages.

A major compound contained in ginger is 6-gingerol. This phytonutrient decreases peroxynitrite (ONOO-) production, which is a powerful free radical formed by the reaction of nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide dismutase (O2-), which wreaks havoc and stress on cells and processes in the body.

As a result, 6-gingerol protects against free radical damage and has exhibited strong neuroprotective properties in research. 6- Gingerol enhances the antioxidant defense system by contributing pharmacological activity to protect cells from carcinogens and cancerous activity. (10)

I recommend adding fresh ground or dried ginger to meat marinades or on vegetable dishes.  It is also a great practice to consume a cup or two of ginger tea every day.  I am also a huge fan of fermented ginger, which is commonly used in Asian dishes such as sushi and in the Korean dish kimchi.

Unlocking your body’s detox potential – the crucial role of lymphatics

Lymphatic Drainage Program

  • Your lymphatic system is crucial for immune function, fluid balance and detoxification. It removes cellular waste, fights infections and aids in nutrient absorption. Proper lymphatic function is essential for overall health
  • In our interview, Dr. Perry Nickelston recommends a “Big 6” lymphatic drainage technique, focusing on six primary areas in a specific order: collarbone, jaw, shoulder/armpit, abdomen, groin and behind your knee
  • Lymph nodes cluster around major joints to facilitate movement-based drainage. Lack of movement and poor breathing lead to lymphatic stagnation, causing various health issues like inflammation and recurring infections
  • Regular movement, including walking, rebounding and hanging exercises, is vital for lymphatic health. Combining lymphatic massage with other detox strategies like sauna use enhances overall effectiveness
  • Lymphatic health is closely tied to cardiovascular and brain function. Addressing lymphatic stagnation helps with heart health, neurodegenerative diseases and chronic pain management by reducing inflammation and improving fluid dynamics

Less than one teaspoon ginger and cinnamon daily relieves muscle soreness in athletes

Cinnamon Quills

Many well-intentioned workout resolutions have been thwarted by the first signs of sore, stiff muscles in the days following a visit to the gym. One study found that two common kitchen spices help relieve that post-workout muscle pain.

Researchers at Iran’s Isfahan University of Medical Sciences studied the effects of ginger and cinnamon on the muscle pain of 60 fit female competitive Taekwondo players, aged 13-25 years. The women were divided into three groups. For six weeks, each group took three grams (1 tsp = 4 grams) of either powdered ginger, cinnamon or placebo every day.

During the study, the women were tested for an indicator of inflammation and for muscle soreness. The results, published in the International Journal of Preventive Medicine, showed that women in both the ginger and cinnamon groups had significantly less muscle soreness after exercising than the placebo group. A similar study from the University of Georgia, also confirmed ginger’s ability to relieve muscle soreness after strenuous exercise.

The researchers did not find any difference in the inflammation marker among the three groups despite other studies showing strong anti-inflammatory qualities of ginger and cinnamon. They speculated that the three gram dose may have been insufficient to make a measurable difference.

Both ginger and cinnamon have been used medicinally for thousands of years. Each contains a wide range of compounds shown to curb inflammation, reduce oxidative stress and modulate other healing mechanisms within the body.

DMSO Is a Miraculous Therapy for Pain and Tissue Injury

Sore Knee

  • The standard approach for managing pain and musculoskeletal injuries often involves NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen), which are linked to serious risks, including tens of thousands of deaths annually
  • DMSO is a highly effective, natural pain reliever that has helped individuals disabled by chronic pain (e.g., from failed spinal surgery or severe arthritis) regain their quality of life. It also addresses conditions that other therapies struggle to alleviate like complex regional pain syndrome
  • DMSO is effective in promoting wound healing and healthy scar formation, making it remarkable for surgical recovery and burns
  • DMSO has an 80% to 90% success rate for treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including arthritis, back and neck strains, sprains, bursitis, and traumatic injuries. Its rapid and dramatic effects have made it popular among professional athletes for quick recovery

How DMSO cures eye, ear, nose, throat and dental disease

Sore Throat

Many of those “incurable” conditions respond remarkably to DMSO

•DMSO can often significantly improve one’s vision, treat conditions such as macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and at times allow blind individuals to regain their sight. It is also often very helpful for sore and strained eyes and relieves excessive irritation and inflammation, along with many other eye conditions (e.g., cataracts).

•DMSO frequently treats a variety of ear conditions such as tinnitus, hearing loss, airplane ear, and a variety of infections inside the ear (e.g., otitis media).

•DMSO often is very helpful for sinusitis and a variety of infections of the nose and throat. Likewise, it is extremely helpful in dentistry, both for cleaning the mouth (e.g., by preventing bleeding gums), and by allowing the mouth to rapidly heal after dental surgeries.

•In this article, I will review the evidence supporting each of those uses, along with the data demonstrating the safety of these methods of DMSO administration and instructions on how to do them.
