Fight Osteoarthritis With This
It turns out there’s a simple addition to your diet that can combat Osteoarthritis and joint inflammation. The secret weapon: cabbage! Studies have shown that cabbage is very good for your stomach, ulcers, and GI system. It’s great for those who have difficulty consuming vegetables: it feeds your microbes, which then produces things that are anti-inflammatory. It’s also a fantastic source of L-glutamine.
Cabbage isn’t the only vegetable that can boost your health and wellness. This study indicates that consuming cruciferous vegetables can decrease your chance of certain types of cancer. Try to incorporate vegetables like broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collard greens, kale, kohlrabi, mustard, rutabaga, turnips, bok choy, and Chinese cabbage into your diet.

Why Copper?
I've heard about copper infused materials. Never paid attention really but I do remember copper infused mask commericial and got curious as to why the copper?
I found the below info.
Copper is a safe, natural, essential trace element required for the functioning of all living organsims (plants, animals and humans).
Copper is scientifically proven to be nature's biggest secret and has been used throughout centuries for its anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and even for it's beauty properties.
How Do Copper Ions Destroy Bacteria, Fungi and Viruses?
The process by which Copper ions are able to naturally destroy pathogenic microbes is know as the Oligodynamic Effect
This is the process by which the copper ions, regardless of what material they are infused in, through electrostatic forces punctures the outer cell wall membrane or viral coat.
This rupture then allows the copper ions to destroy the DNA and RNA inside the cell preventing it from replicating, making it nature's tool to protect and prevent the spread of infections.
Is is a completely safe, chemical free, natural, non-drug and non-invasive solution.
Copper Outperforms Silver
All forms of Silver are non-selective toxic biocides - making it poisonous to humans and only exhibit anti-microbial activity in the presence of moisture and humidity. Copper is not poisonous and works across all temperatures.
Promotion of Angiogenesis
Copper is known to promote the development of blood vessels and rejuvenate skin through the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Anti-Microbial
Copper has been shown in published studies around the world to destroy 99.9% of bacteria, fungi and viruses within minutes of contact.
Anti-Odour -
Copper is able to destroy the bacteria and fungi that typically cause foul smells and bad odour.

Hypoxia and Nerve Damage (Lack of Oxygen)
Hypoxia is a condition in which tissues are deprived of an adequate supply of oxygen. It is the failure of oxygen to gain access to, or to be utilized by the body. The term anoxia is commonly used but the more precise term is hypoxia as there is rarely a complete oxygen deprivation.
Hypoxia is a shortage of oxygen, while anoxia is the absence of oxygen.
For some reason, the tissues are deprived of oxygen. This can happen in different ways.
There are different types of hypoxia.
Hypoxemic - low blood oxygen count as in altitude sickness, low blood transport, anemia, low blood oxygen-carrying capacity (i.e. carbon monoxide poisoning)
Distributive - low blood flow such as in shock or atherosclerosis
Histotoxic - poisoning (i.e.- cyanide) or anything that keeps cells from using oxygen.
If not reversed quickly, hypoxia can lead to necrosis (tissue death) as in heart attack or nerve damage.
The brain cannot be deprived of the necessary oxygen for more than a few minutes. Nerve cell degeneration begins quickly, and damage to the respiratory centers prevents resumption of breathing.
Nerve Damage
An inadequate supply of oxygen can result in nerve damage. There are many ways in which this can occur.

Lasting Relief:
None of the various neuropathy treatments will build healthy nerves. You can cover up the symptoms and you can increase circulation and you can make a person feel less pain, etc., but if you build healthy nerves, there will not be any symptoms (healthy nerves don't hurt, tingle, burn, are not numb, etc.) and the relief will be lasting.
Building Healthy Nerves*
Healthy sensory nerves mean that they are not painful. Healthy nerves mean that they communicate and don't send wrong signals such as burning, hot and cold, tingling when there is no reason for it. Healthy motor nerves mean that they relay messages from the brain to the muscle so that they move correctly. Nerves need to be healthy to function properly.
The body needs specific nutrients (vitamins) to be able to build healthy nerves.
It may not give immediate relief (although many do feel changes in the first week) as the vitamins are working at a cellular level, but it does address the actual problem, builds healthy nerves and brings lasting relief.

Sugar and Your Immune System by Doug Kaufman
By now, everyone is aware that eating to much sugar, particularly refined sugar found in most processed foods, can be harmful. High sugar intake has been shown to be related to a number of chronic health problems, increased weight gain, and increased inflammation in the body. Increased sugar intake has even been known to increase anxiety.
But among the more recent findings is that sugar can compromise your immune system. Lets explore the relationship between Sugar and your Immune System.
Your immune system, of course, is vital for defending you against any sort of pathogens, be they bacterial, viral, or even fungal. Your immune system is very much responsible for keeping you alive.
But how does something as simple as sugar impact your immune system in a negative way?
Some suggest that increased sugar affects the way our immune cells target invading pathogens. Others point to the fact that foods high in sugar are usually nutritionally void, meaning that people with a diet high in sugar aren’t getting the optimal amount of nutrients in their diet, and ultimately their immune system suffers as a result.
But is there a simpler explanation?
Recall all of the problems associated with high sugar intake: weight gain, anxiety, inflammation. Compromised immunity is yet one more health problem to stack onto the list. All of these things might have some link to a certain type of pathogen––yeast. And as it turns out, yeasts’ favorite source of food happens to be sugar.
We know that people who suffer from underlying yeast problems can have problems with weight gain, anxiety, and often suffer from numerous chronic health problems. Would it be any surprise if they also suffer from decreased immunity?
Another thing to remember is that yeasts and fungi produce certain compounds that are known to compromise immunity; some of these substances work so well at suppressing the immune system that they are used as anti-rejection medications in patients who have received organ transplants.
So is it the sugar, or is the yeast that is being fed by the sugar? Most physicians will likely say the former. However, many people who go on an anti-fungal program, such as The Kaufmann Diet, often experience relief from many symptoms that have plagued them for years. Many lose weight with relative ease.
Regardless of whether it is the sugar, itself, or a yeast being fueled by sugar, eliminating sugar from your diet altogether is smart move when supporting your health.

Nerve Damage - Why R-Alpha Lipoic and Acetyl L-Carnitine
If you have nerve damage, R-Alpha lipoic acid and acetyl L-carnitine are two key supplements that you should add to your daily routine.
Evidence indicates that alpha lipoic acid has an ability to kill free-radicals which may help provide added nutritional support to people who have nerve damage in the arms and legs, such as:
- pain
- burning
- itching
- tingling
- numbness
Alpha lipioc acid comes in two forms. R and S. Alpha lipoic acid is a combination of these two forms. Most supplements have alpha lipoic acid with both forms, not just the R form.
The R form of alpha lipoic acid is the form normally found in the body. Studies indicate the R-alpha lipoic acid form appears to be better absorbed than the combination of R and S alpha lipoic acid.
Additionally, some small preliminary studies suggest acetyl L-carnitine may help provide nutritional support to people with pain and who want to improve feeling in affected nerves. It is also possible that acetyl L-carnitine can help nerves regenerate.
The Nerve & Energy Booster is a nutritional supplement which contains acetyl L-carnitine and R-alpha lipoic acid (the better, more absorbable form of R-alpha lipoic acid).
