Honey and cinnamon has been used for centuries in cure for Arthritis Hearth Disease Gallbladder infection, Weightloss and many More
The combination of honey and cinnamon has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. These two ingredients with unique healing abilities have a long history as a “home remedy”
Cinnamon is one of the oldest spices known to mankind and honey’s popularity does not wane throughout history.
Cinnamon essential oil and enzyme which produces hydrogen peroxide which is found in honey, are the two “anti-microbial” foods that have the ability to stop the growth of bacteria and fungi.
It is known that honey and cinnamon are a very healthy combination, but do you know what really heal?
Heart disease

Antibiotics from nearly 2,000 years ago
Oregano and the oil of oregano
You’ve probably used oregano as a flavoring in your favorite
Italian dishes without even realizing the health benefits that it contains.
Beyond its antibacterial properties, oregano can help with digestion and aid in
weight loss. An oil that is found in oregano, Carvacrol, has been found to
fight the bacteria that can lead to infections. The oil of oregano has been
found to treat digestive infections, and even one particular yeast infection.
It is more than just a food flavoring.
Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
The far-reaching benefits of daily doses of apple cider
vinegar (ACV) include antibiotic and antiseptic properties, naturally
alkalizing your system, and can aid you in everything from managing your weight
to lowering cholesterol and your risk of cancer. A chemical-free astringent,
ACV can be used topically to disinfect and sterilize.
Honey
Ancient Romans used honey on the battlefield to treat wounds
and prevent infection.
Civilizations all over the world continue to consider honey
one of the best natural antibiotics, antimicrobials, anti-inflammatories, and
antiseptics known to man after thousands of years.
New Zealand’s Manuka honey has been proven to have the
highest levels of antioxidants and curative powers.
An enzyme found in honey releases hydrogen peroxide. This
process helps your body fight infection and prevents the growth of bacteria.
Soothing to the digestive system, honey removes toxins from the blood and helps
your liver operate more efficiently.
A great boost to the immune system, consider combining honey
with cinnamon to strengthen your white blood cells! Raw, organic honey is the
best option since most pasteurization methods kills the antioxidant effects.
Turmeric
This spice isn’t just rich in color and flavor, but it also
products your body against harm. Turmeric and be both consumed and applied
externally, making it a great choice for fighting against bacteria. For extra
benefit, from combining two bacteria fighting substances, you can mix turmeric
with honey and create a paste to apply to infected areas on your skin.
You can protect your body against infections and bacteria
based sicknesses by taking advantage of these safe and natural remedies that
are available in the average kitchen. Protect your body without the use of
prescription drugs by using honey, oregano, garlic, echinacea, and turmeric.
Garlic
Flavorful and wonderful on a piece of butter toast, this
plant also has very powerful qualities to it. Garlic can fight such simple
infections as the common cold, pushing the germs away before they have a change
to disrupt your life. Using the allicin that it contains, garlic protects
against yeast, parasites, bacteria, and more. If you are looking for a simple
way to live healthier, add more garlic to your diet.
Grapefruit Seed Extract
The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine
published a study that found grapefruit seed extract (GSE) effective against
more than 800 forms of viruses and bacteria, more than a hundred strains of
fungus, and many parasites.
High in many antioxidants, GSE boosts immunity, alkalizes
the body naturally, and aids in digestion by improving your beneficial gut
flora.
Echinacea
So, you might not have as much experience with this product,
but it is a safe herb that is found in many kitchens. The consumption of this
herb has been proven to reduce the amount of colds that a person deals with in
their life, and shorten the colds that the person does have to face. This herb
is a great choice when taken as a preventative measure.
Cabbage
There are sulfur compounds found in cabbage – a member of
the cruciferous family that includes broccoli and kale – that have been shown
effective as cancer fighters.
What many people don’t realize is how much vitamin C is
found in cabbage. One cup provides 75% of what you need every day.
Naturally antibacterial, eating shredded raw cabbage in your
salad, as a side dish in the form of slaw, or drinking fresh cabbage juice
(with honey added to sweeten) is an excellent way to improve digestion, prevent
disease, and even manage your weight!
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
There is not enough that can be said for the benefits of
coconut oil. It has naturally occurring anti-fungal and anti-microbial
properties and is packed with antioxidants you can’t find anywhere else in
nature.
Use it to boost your immune system, balance thyroid,
cholesterol, and blood sugar levels, and even improve brain function. Safe to
use internally and externally, coconut oil is one of the most versatile and
unique gifts from Mother Nature.
Stir a spoonful into your morning coffee for added energy
and a clearer head all day.
Fermented food
Unpasteurized cabbage, homemade pickles, kefir and probiotic
yogurts, all of these renew our intestinal flora, protects us from cancer and
keeps our body fit to fight off infections.
Colloidal Silver
A natural antibiotic, colloidal silver is a mixture of
silver particles suspended in fluid that have been used for centuries.
This treatment is temporary since too much silver – a heavy
metal – can be toxic. However, it disables the enzyme that single-cell bacteria
require to multiply. Deprived of their oxygen supply, the bacteria and viruses
are destroyed without damage to you.

Make Your Teeth Whiter
Oil Pulling
This is a traditional Aryurvedic practice used to help detoxify and cleanse the body. Along with helping to whiten teeth, it also reduces tooth decay and gingivitis. Sesame oil is the traditional choice, but to see the best results, use coconut oil, which contains monolaurin, a very effective antimicrobial against the main bug implicated with tooth decay, strep mutans.
Be sure to use a high quality oil. We often use this coconut oil due to its single origin quality. Start by taking a tablespoon of oil and swishing it in your mouth for 20 minutes. Move it through your teeth and the front and back of your mouth. Do not swallow!
The longer it’s been in your mouth the more contaminated it will
become, as it is literally pulling bacteria, fungi, and viruses into
your mouth from your whole body. When you are done, spit it out (and
brush your teeth if you’d like).
Baking Soda
1. Take a pinch of baking soda and put it into a small glass or bowl.
2. Add a small amount of purified water (ideally not tap water) to the
bowl and mix it into the baking soda. The solution should be slightly
runny, as you don’t want too many of the granules present. Dip your
toothbrush in to get some of the solution on the brush.
3. Brush your teeth, starting with your molars and then moving to the facings and backs of your teeth.
4. Optional: Once done, you can add some more water to the glass or bowl
and swish it around your mouth. This will help keep your mouth
alkaline.
5. Rinse out your mouth with purified water as you normally would after brushing.
Other people place baking soda directly
on their toothbrush and begin with the front teeth. When the solution is
mixed with saliva it becomes liquid.

Clay
White kaolin clay
has a low abrasivity score and is effective as both a polish and stain
remover. It is also high in calcium, silica, zinc, and magnesium, and
safe for people with tooth sensitivity.
How to use:
Apply it directly onto your toothbrush,
starting with your front teeth and then, as it mixes with your saliva,
moving on to the rest of the mouth.

instead of rinsing when you’re done, allow the turmeric to sit on your
teeth for 3-5 minutes. Follow this with a regular brushing to get rid of
any excess yellow buildup.

Chia Salvia rhyacophila
In the plant’s native habitat of South-west America, it has been
highly valued as a staple food for hundreds of years. In Mexico, it was
used as money and to pay taxes. A small handful of seeds and plenty of
water supplied energy and sustenance, for a man traveling for 24 hours,
and it is said that an Indian can exist on it for many days if
necessary. Several USA universities have researched the endurance
properties of chia and found that a tablespoon of seed could sustain a
person for 24 hours, with hard labour.
Richard Lucas, in his book, ‘Common and uncommon uses of herbs for healthy living’, encourages anyone to try it, and discover its unique ability to provide the go power to get through a busy day with a hop, skip and a jump. The seeds have valuable medicinal properties and nutritional content, with essential vitamins, minerals, fibre and 30% protein. In USA it is grown as a commercial crop and seed is available in Health Food Shops.
The calcium content of chia seed is 5 times that of milk. Enzymes in chia act as catalysts to aid the digestion of food. Chia seeds contain the trace mineral strontium, which acts as a catalyst in the assimilation of protein and production of energy. A greyhound breeder read of the energy boosting power of chia, and phoned to see if he could buy the seed in large quantities, to give his dogs a winning edge! Researchers say that strontium has strengthening benefits to cartilage, teeth and bones.

The seeds contain one of the highest known sources of Essential Fatty Acids (EFA), as linolenic acid (LNA) 30-60%, and linoleic acid (LA) 30%. EFA’s carry a slightly negative charge and spread out as a thin layer over surfaces and do not form aggregations; this makes cell membranes soft, fluid and flexible, allowing nutrients to flow in and wastes out. Researcher, Linus Pauling, found that energy charged by EFA’s produced measurable, bioelectrical currents. These currents make possible the vast number of chemical reactions in the body, which are important in nerve, muscle and membrane function. EFA’s absorb sunlight and attract oxygen. A bounteous supply of oxygen, carried with the blood to the cells, is vital for vitality, pain relief and healing. The oxygen is able to be held by the action of EFA, at the cell membranes, making a barrier against viruses and bacteria. EFA’s are important in immune function and metabolic reactions in the body resulting in fat burn, food absorption, mental health and the process of oxidation and growth. They can substantially shorten the time required for recovery of fatigued muscles after exercise or physical work.

EFA’s are the highest source of energy in nutrition and govern many life processes in the body. When EFA’s are deficient, a diversity of health problems may follow. Due to high refining and processing of many natural foods, EFA’s may be low or non-existent, therefore, we need to look at what we can grow to give us these essentials, daily. Chia seeds provide a rich source of EFA’s, and many other seeds that we can use for sprouting are also a good source.
The mucilaginous properties of the seeds have a swelling action, similar to guar or psyllium as a bulking agent and fibre source, and are valuable for cleansing and soothing the colon. Chia acts like a sponge, absorbing toxins, lubricating the colon and strengthening the peristaltic action. Considering the high incidence of bowel cancer, diverticulitis, colitis, chronic constipation and irritable bowel syndrome in our country, we need to share the knowledge of this healing plant with our fellow Australians.

Chia seeds come to the rescue when the tummy is upset and will not tolerate other foods; or to fortify the body against the exhaustive effects of extreme summer temperatures. The seed helps to quench the thirst, if added to a glass of water, a very practical benefit in our hot summers. It is an appetite satisfier and, therefore, useful to dieters. Chia is valued for calming the nerves and said to strengthen the memory: use 1 teasp. chia seed to 1 cup of boiling water, steep 5-10 minutes, take 2-3 cups a day.
Chia leaves (fresh or dried) steeped in boiling water, make a therapeutic tea. Use the tea as a blood cleanser and tonic, also for fevers, pain relief, arthritis, respiratory problems, mouth ulcers, diabetes, diarrhoea, gargle for inflamed throats, to reduce blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride levels and to strengthen the nervous system. Try the tea sweetened with honey and a few drops of lemon juice added. Women who suffer with hot flushes may find relief by drinking chia leaf tea regularly. A recent TV program highlighted the benefit of chia tea, made with a few, freshly chopped leaves, for anyone feeling lethargic or lacking energy. Chia contains several very strong antioxidants that help to remove toxins from the body, which then give a feeling of improved health.

As the seeds are able to absorb more than 7 times their weight, in water, and form a thick gel, this causes a slow release of carbohydrate; facilitating an equally slow conversion of carbohydrates, into glucose (blood sugar), for energy. The outer layer of the seeds are rich in mucilloid soluble fibre and, when mixed with water or stomach juices, a gel forms that creates a physical barrier between the carbohydrate foods eaten and the digestive enzymes that break them down. This means that the carbohydrates are digested slower and at a more uniform rate. There is no insulin surge needed to lower the blood sugar level after eating chia. The chia gel is able to hold moisture, which also retains electrolyte balance.

Chia sprouts can come to the rescue for digestive problems, particularly when ‘windy’. Passing gas may be relieved by slowly chewing 1-2 tablesp. of chia sprouts, making sure that plenty of saliva is mixed with them. Together with the nutrients, chlorophyll, and enzymes from the saliva, the combination can act to relieve and prevent flatulence.

Chia seeds have a nutty flavour and can be sprinkled over meals, or seeds can be soaked in a little water (for several hours or overnight, to start the seed germination process) giving better assimilation when eaten. Soaking is also beneficial, since vitamin C will start to be manufactured. When seeds are sprouted, the vitamin content multiplies considerably and they can add a spicy, warm flavour to meals. Sprinkle soaked or sprouted seeds over breakfast cereal or tossed salads.
Try chia as a refreshing breakfast drink. Mix 1 teasp. seeds (rich in soluble fibre), in a glass of orange juice and let the seed soak for 10 minutes, before drinking. The drink will give a feeling of satisfaction and fullness for a number of hours. It has been found that chia can help to regulate sugar metabolism. Research has found that enzymes in chia act as a catalyst to aid the digestion of food. As chia has a low glycemic conten, it is an ideal food to add to our daily diet. For a refreshing chia beverage, soak 1 teasp. chia seed in 1 cup of hot water and 1/2 teasp. apple-cider vinegar, 1 teasp. honey and a pinch of cinnamon powder.

Add seed to cooked or baked goods. A small amount of seeds added, when making bread, will make bread lighter, with less leavening needed, as well as improving the keeping qualities. Many foods are said to be more flavoursome with chia added – bitter foods become more palatable. Sharp cheese, at maturity, will taste more like cottage cheese. Chia is useful for enriching baby foods, infant formulas, health foods, energy bars, snacks, breakfast cereals, etc. As oxidation of chia seed is minimal to non-existent, it holds excellent potential within the food industry compared to other alpha-linolenic fatty acid sources, such as linseed, which exhibits rapid decomposition due to lack of antioxidants. Chia does not need artificial antioxidant stabilisers and stores well, without deterioration.
And when the garden yields a super crop, feed the seed heads to the hens. Research in South America, with commercial egg production, found that laying hens eagerly devoured chia when up to 30% of seed was added to their food. This also resulted in the production of eggs with a ratio of saturated to polyunsaturated fats, half that found in normal eggs, a real benefit to consumers, eggs with a heart-friendly profile!

Dandelion Builds Up Blood and Immune System and has Cured Prostate, Lung and Other Cancers
Dandelion is a flowering plant
that is widespread distributed in every part of the world. The plant is
considered to be a weed, but has many healing properties. The root and the
leaves are both used medicinally.
The root of dandelion is rich in minerals
such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, silica, sulphur and chlorophyll.
Also, contains inulin and mucilage, which improves the function of the
digestive system, absorb toxins from the food, cleanse the liver, etc. The
leaves are also rich in minerals and vitamins such as C, A, K, B1, B6 and E.
These facts for the plant are well
known for years. But recent studies have shown new exciting facts about
dandelion root.
A recent research has demonstrated
that dandelion root have killed up to 98 % of the leukemia cells in laboratory
tests, after only 48 hours.
Dr Carolyn Hamm from the Windsor
Regional Cancer Centre in Ontario, Canada explained that extract from the
dandelion root was the only thing that can help with chronic myelomonocytic
leukaemia.
A patient named John Di Carlo after his aggressive and unsuccessful
treatment for his leukaemia was sent home to spend “the last days” of his life,
was advised to try tea from a dandelion root. Within four months, he was in a
remission and his doctors associated his success to his using dandelion tea.
Also, eminent herbalist Maria Treben recommends dandelion root tea for many
diseases, including different types of cancer.
Studies showed that dandelion root
extract acts very fast on the cancerous cells, in such a way that they
disintegrate within 48 hours, during which time new formed healthy cells in the
body are not affected.
Further studies have found that
dandelion root extract has a potent anticancer activity against prostate
cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, leukaemia, liver cancer and best of all
lung cancer. There are not significant effects on skin cancer and brain cancer.
The immune system is controlling
cancer cells in the body. If the immune system is healthy, usually cancer
doesn’t appear. When the immune system is down, the body loses control of the
cancer cells and cancer appears. The powder from dandelion root has a potent
phytochemical that builds up the blood and the immune system. Doctors try to
remove the cancer from the body with chemotherapy and radiation. By doing so,
it destroys the immune system and appetite. These two are the most important
things the body needs to beat cancer.
How to pick the
dandelion root?
You can harvest dandelion root at
any time of the year. After you pull off from the ground, cut the leaves off
and gently remove the earth around the root. Make sure do not damage it and
don’t wash it. After that, dry the root on around 100 degrees on a sun, or you
can use an incubator with no water. The whole drying procedure will take around
5 to 6 days. If you break the root, and it snaps, it is ready for use.
Dried dandelion root keeps its
active chemicals up to a year. Always store the roots in a glass jar in a cold
and dark place.
It is the best to use dandelion
root in a form of powder. You can take a little over a half teaspoon of the
powder once a day at any time and mix it with water. Do not use it in soft
drinks or anything hot. After three to four days, you will start to feel good,
nothing else. In most of the cases, this will build up the immune system in
about three weeks. After that, the immune system will take control of cancer
cells and will stop its spreading. You should not expect a miracle because this
is not an overnight cure so it will take a time until the body removes the
cancer.

The 7 Most Prescribed Drugs In The World And Their Natural Counterparts
Of the over 4 billion prescriptions written every year, the United States and Canada make up more than 80% of the world’s prescription opioids (psychoactive medications).
Between 1997 and 2012 prescription opioids increased in dosage by almost 500%. Pharmaceuticals and medical errors are now a leading cause of death. Painkillers are the leading cause of accidental death.
In the last 15 years of life, people are experiencing more pain for longer periods than at any point on our historical record. If you think life expectancy has increased to the benefit of mankind, you’re not looking at the numbers.
78% of U.S. prescriptions written in 2010 were for generic drugs (both unbranded and those still sold under a brand name). The most prescribed drugs aren’t always the best selling drugs, there’s a difference.
Prescriptions for pain, cholesterol reduction, high blood pressure, hypothyroidism, antacids, antipsychotics, diabetes and antibiotics make up 100% of the most prescribed drugs.
Make
a commitment to yourself right now and start incorporating some of
these amazing foods into your diet with no consequence of side effects.
When you accept this, you will get off prescription medications for
good.
Check out the top 7 most prescribed drugs and the best natural remedies to treat and prevent disease.1. HYDROCODONE (Acetaminophen/Vicodin/Oxycontin)
Use: For Pain
Currently the single most prescribed drug in the world. More and more doctors are getting huge payouts from pharmaceutical companies to promote these hydrocodone, especially generic drugs. They make up more than 20% of the top prescribed medications.
Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), told Fox News that doctors are handing out narcotics like candy. Some doctors are giving patients prescriptions for narcotics for even minor injuries.
How it Works:
It is an orally psychoactive compound that works as a narcotic and analgesic. It is biotransformed by the liver into several metabolites. It is highly dependent on metabolism by the Cytochrome P450 pathway.
Consequences:
Respiratory depression; bradycardia; coma; seizures; cardiac arrest; liver damage; and death. Inherited genes such as the Cytochrome P450 affects metabolic pathways–some cannot process it at all, whereas a smaller percentage can get even more strength from it than usual.
Natural Foods:
Ginger, turmeric, berries, cayenne pepper, celery/celery seeds, cherries, dark green veggies, walnuts.

2. STATINS (Generic versions of Lipitor/Zocor/Crestor)
Use: Reduction of LDL Cholesterol
Approximately 15% of the top prescribed medications are generic statins. A study published in January 2012 in the Archives of Internal Medicine linked statins to 48 percent increased risk for type-2 diabetes.
The are NO scientific studies ever documented which have proved through causation that lowering LDL cholesterol prevents disease. The obsessed culture of lowering cholesterol may actually be causing cancer.
How it Works:
Statins artificially lower cholesterol levels by inhibiting a critical enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a central role in the production of cholesterol in the liver.
Consequences:
Inflammation and pathological breakdown of muscle, acute kidney failure, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, interference with sex hormones and death.
Natural Foods:
Nuts, spinach, apples, turmeric, cranberries, tomatoes, green tea, fatty fish, beans, alfalfa herb, capsicum fruit, garlic, psyllium, fenugreek seeds, butcher’s broom, licorice root, hawthorn berry.

3. LISINOPRIL (Prinivil/Zestril) AND NORVASC (Amlodipine)
Use: Reduction of High Blood Pressure
In combination, Lisinopril and Norvasc make up a whopping 23% of the top prescribed medications. This makes them the most prescribed generic medications (if combined) for cardiovascular disease and blood pressure. Individually, Lisinopril constitutes approximately 14% and Norvasc about 9%.
How it Works:
Lisinopril is typically used for the treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure, and heart attacks. Norvasc is used for hypertension and angina. It accomplishes this by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle so it essentially interferes with the metabolism of calcium.
Consequences:
Cancer, blood disorders, development of breasts in men, impotence, depression, tachycardia, enlargement of gums, inflammation of the liver, elevated blood glucose, hepatitis, life threatening skin conditions.
Natural Foods:
Any foods high in vitamin C (chili peppers, guavas, bell peppers, thyme, parsley, dark leafy greens, broccoli), any foods high in magnesium (chocolate, green leafy vegetables, Brazil nuts, almonds, cashews, blackstrap molasses, pumpkin and squash seeds, pine nuts, and black walnuts) and any foods high in potassium (mushrooms, bananas, dark green leafy vegetables, sweet potatoes, oranges and dates). Coconut oil/water and CoQ10 are also very effective for lowering blood pressure.

4. SYNTHROID (levothyroxine sodium)
Use: Hypothyroidism
A synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine, generic Synthroid makes up more than 11% of the top prescribed medications. It’s used to treat hypothyroidism. The related drug dextrothyroxine (D-thyroxine) was used in the past as a treatment for elevated cholesterol but was withdrawn due to cardiac side-effects.
How it Works:
It replaces the thyroid hormone which is naturally occurring in the thyroid gland essentially halting natural production.
Consequences:
Long-term suppression of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) causes cardiac side-effects and contributes to decreases in bone mineral density (high TSH levels are also well known to contributes to osteoporosis.) May also cause elevated blood glucose levels, heart failure, coma and adrenal insufficiency. TSH directly influences the whole process of iodine trapping and thyroid hormone production so use of synthroid directly affects how the body metabolizes iodine.
Natural Foods:
Any foods containing iodine such as seaweed, kelp, radish, parsley, fish, seafood, eggs, bananas, cranberries, strawberries, himalayan crystal salt. Also, copper, iron, selenium and zinc are essential in the production of thyroid hormones. Exercise a minimum of 20-30 minutes per day — enough to raise the heartbeat.

5. PRILOSEC (omeprazole/generic versions of nexium)
Use: Antacid
A proton pump inhibitor which constitutes just over 8% of the top prescribed medications. Omeprazole is one of the most widely prescribed drugs for reflux disease (GORD/GERD/LPR) and ulcers internationally and is available over the counter in some countries.
How it Works:
It suppresses gastric acid secretion by specific inhibition of the gastric acid ions in cells. The absorption of omeprazole takes place in the small intestine essentially turning off the switch which promotes healthy digestion of foods. Omeprazole is also completely metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system.
Consequences:
Angina, ulcers, tachycardia, bradycardia, palpitations, elevated blood pressure, development of male breasts, inflammation of the pancreas, irritable colon, mucosal atrophy of the tongue, liver disease/failure, elevated blood sugar, muscle weakness, skin conditions, tinnitus, inflammation of the eyes, urinary frequency, testicular pain, anemia and blood cell disorders.
Natural Foods:
Grapefruits, probiotics, broccoli sprouts, manuka honey, mastic gum, marshmallow tea, glutamine, slippery elm, deglycyrrhized liquorice (DGL), aloe vera juice, baking soda, pickle juice.

6. AZITHROMYCIN AND AMOXICILLIN
Use: Antibiotic
In combination, azithromycin and amoxicillin contribute towards a mind-blowing 17% of the top prescribed medications. Then we wonder why we have antibiotic resistance. On their own, each contributes about 8.5%. Azithromycin is one of the world’s best-selling antibiotics and derived from erythromycin. Amoxicillin is usually the drug of choice for children.
How it Works:
Inhibits the synthesis of bacterial cell walls and interfering with their protein synthesis. These drugs also inhibit the protein synthesis of good bacteria needed for immunity and proper digestion.
Consequences:
Inflammation of the liver, inflammation and destruction of the stomach lining, destruction of healthy bacterial populations, inflammation of the colon, allergic reactions, obesity, human antibiotic resistance.
Natural Foods:
Sunlight (vit D), garlic, coconut oil, turmeric, foods high in nicotinamide (vit B3) such as salmon, sardines and nuts. Also manuka honey, olive leaf extract, green tea, pau D’Arco, rose water, myrrh, grapeseed extract, golden seal, oregon grapes, oregano oil, andrographis paniculata, and probiotics.

7. GLUCOPHAGE (metformin)
Use: Oral anti-diabetic drug
Glucophage drugs round up the top 7 but the prescription rate of this drug is rapidly increasing. It makes up about 7% of the top prescribed medications. It is the first-line drug of choice for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, in particular, in overweight and obese people. It also acts to indirectly lower LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
How it Works:
By suppressing natural glucose production by the liver, the drug activates an enzyme which plays an important role in insulin signaling, whole body energy balance, and the metabolism of glucose and fats.
Consequences:
Lactic acidosis, impaired liver/kidney function, decreasing thyroid stimulating hormone and testosterone, increased homocysteine levels, malabsorption of vitamin B12, B12 deficiency, bladder cancer, heart failure. The biggest consequence of diabetes drugs is that it causes pancreatic function to substantially decrease inhibiting several hormones and causing other imbalances which are never correctable without abstaining from the drug.
Natural Foods:
Black tea, Sunlight (vit D), potentially coffee (more research needed), turmeric, nuts, chia seeds, green leafy vegetables, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, red grapes, steel cut oatmeal, broccoli, spinach, green beans and strawberries. 90% of all cases of diabetes can be resolved by eating foods with a low glycemic load, and pursuing both weight training and aerobic exercise.

The drugs on which we spend the most money are those that are still new enough to be protected against generic competition. That’s why drugs like Abilify and Seroquel (antipsychotics), as well as Plavix (blood thinner) and Advair Diskus (asthma inhaler) don’t make the list.
