 Chemotherapy
A complete antioxidant formula can enhance the effectiveness of chemo in reducing cancerous tumors while at the same time protecting healthy tissue and fortifying your immune system. ginger aids in alleviating some of the unwanted side effects such as nausea and vomiting. I'd suggest taking one Ev.Ext-33 capsule (which is a patented herbal extract of a unique subspecies of ginger) twice daily along with my MVP. (See section 172.)
CAUTION: If you are undergoing chemotherapy, be sure to check with your doctor before adding any new supplements.

 This shampoo is not recommended.
© C-system moisture complex, for conditioning and detangling ($14 for 6.76ounces) contains higher amounts of the same irritating fragrant plant oils as the C-system hydrating shampoo above, and is not recommended.
© $$$ C-system conditioning mist, light hold styling spray ($15 for 5-1 ounces) is more like spraying orange-scented perfume on hair than styling it. This fragrant liquid provides minimal to no hold and minimal conditioning benefits, but it's an option for casual, unstructured hairstyles.

| Some beneficial juices include: pineapple (especially good with juiced alfalfa sprouts); a combination of aloe vera, star fruit, and cabbage juices; cucumber juice; fresh apricot juice; and cantaloupe juice. ginger has been known for a very long time for its anti-inflammatory nature and should be added to many juices.
An important goal with arthritis is to eliminate anything that is creating uric acid. Meat is a primary suspect here, and arthritis sufferers are urged to become vegetarians, if they have not done so already. |

 Hutt also asked her to take several anti-inflammatory supplements, including fish oil capsules (1,000 mg twice daily), as well as ginger, turmeric, and bromelain.
Anita's response was dramatic. After three weeks she had lost ten pounds and her glucose had normalized, enabling her to stop taking the glucose-lowering medications. Her pain, swelling, and stiffness decreased considerably, and her energy levels began increasing. At a six-week follow-up visit Anita had lost a total of eighteen pounds, and her blood pressure was normal, so she was able to stop taking the hypertensive medications. |

 It is interesting to note that an alcoholic beverage prepared from Jamaican ginger, popular in some parts of the U.S. in the 1930s, caused a serious neurologic problem called "the Jake Walk." Those who collect blues music of that period are probably aware of the many references to "the Jake Walk blues."
Ginger does appear to have some pharmacologically active substances and we wish the princess of Thailand well in her continued studies of the herb. |

| Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is native to tropical Asia and is cultivated in other tropical areas such as Jamaica. It has been used as a flavoring, a condiment and a folk remedy.
Ginger tea is supposed to promote cleansing of the body through perspiration and is also said to be an appetite stimulator, a carminative (agent which expels gas from the intestines) and helpful in the symptomatic treatment of colds, if given at their outset. It has been used in China and other countries for many years as a tonic. |

 Fortunately, taking ginger capsules Vi hour prior to her dose of Rhodiola rosea calmed her upset stomach, so she was able to resume her treatment.
Jeanne's optimal dosage of Rhodiola rosea turned out to be one-half of a capsule before breakfast, and again before lunch. By the third week, she felt like a new personor, rather, the person she had been before her illness.
Of course, post-Lyme infection doesn't always respond so dramatically to such small doses of Rhodiola rosea. But with larger doses usually 200 to 300 milligrams twice dailysymptoms often get better over time. |
| For example, garlic, ginger, and Indian spices such as coriander and turmeric are known to supply nutrients and antioxidants that support cellular energy production as well as the cells' defense and repair mechanisms. So trade in your saltshaker for these, as well as for sprinkles of cinnamon, nutmeg, black peppercorns, fennel, cloves, mustard seeds, curry, saffron, cumin, and caraway. For a dash of extra nutrition, try seasoning your cooking with fresh basil, cilantro, bay leaves, parsley, or mint.
Stay well hydrated. This means drinking at least six glasses of water per day. |
| These include aloe vera, black cohosh, echinacea, garlic, ginger, ginkgo, ginseng, saw palmetto, St. John's wort, and valerian, among numerous others. Most of these herbs have achieved their prominence in the marketplace because they have been the subjects of the most clinical research.
The past 10 to 20 years have witnessed an explosion in the scientific study of herbal formulations. |

 Nicholas Culpeper (1616-1654) wrote of it: "A dram of the dried root of Monk's Rhubarb, with a scruple of ginger made into powder, and taken into fasting in a draught or mess of warm broth, purges choler and phlegm downwards very gently and safely without danger.
The seed thereof contrary doth bind the belly, and helps to stay any sort of lasks or bloody-flux.
The distilled water thereof is very profitably used to heal scabs; also foul ulcerous sores... The juice of the leaves or roots or the decoction of them in vinegar, is used as the most effectual remedy to heal scabs and running sores. |

| Curcumin and Turmeric Root
Curcumin, a bright yellow spice, is obtained from the root of turmeric (Curcuma longa), a member of the ginger family. Native to Asia, curcumin is one of the oldest and most cherished anti-inflammatory herbs in Indian Ayurvedic medicine.
Turmeric root and curcumin are mild Cox-2 inhibitors but are not as powerful and not as dangerous as popular Cox-2-inhibiting drugs. According to recent experiments, they block the activity of "NF kappa B," a protein that turns on inflammation-promoting genes. |

| Flaxseed oil, borage oil, salmon oil, and cod liver oil can help in turning off pain, as can wild ginger, as well as cinnamon. To help with what the Chinese call the "energy flow," there is bupleurum. For headache pains we can use the herbs feverfew, cayenne, valerian, and skullcap, and theanine, an amino acid found in the leaves of green tea. Again, you are not expected to use all of these. For example, just take theanine, at 100 mg, two or three times a day. That can frequently turn off a headache and give a calming feeling. Calcium-magnesium at 1,500 mg can also do that. |

 Half of those taking gingerroot made it the full six minutes; none of the Dramamine or placebo volunteers could stand the spinning for the full time. The ginger seems to work in the gastrointestinal tract to prevent nausea. One or two capsules every few hours would be an appropriate amount. Look for them in health food stores.
If you want to do some ocean fishing and you are susceptible to this unholy malady, I suggest that the one maneuver you should avoid at all costs is anchoring the boat in swells. Generally, as long as the boat keeps moving at a good clip, there is no trouble. |
| Chewing on ginger sticks or drinking ginger tea has been recommended by herbalists. Also, honey, nutmeg and mace are potentially helpful.
For the child who gets carsick, a family trip can turn into an unpleasant experience unless the child is given a front seat in the car. Exactly why this is so remains unknown, although it seems to be related to the fact that seeing through the front window provides relatively stable, or nonmoving, objects on which to focus {New England Journal of Medicine, November 8, 1979). |

 Several spices, including red pepper, ginger, mustard seed, cinnamon, and cardamom are also thought to boost metabolic rate. Kelp and other sea vegetables are said to increase metabolism by virtue of their iodine content and thyroid stimulation. While evidence is lacking, these herbs and seaweeds are relatively safe.

| The study confirmed ginger's use as an antiinflammatory agent in Chinese medicine, dating back more than twenty-five hundred years.
Two topical treatments also can help. Several studies have found that creams containing capsaicin, the pungent component of hot peppers, can reduce the pain of osteoarthritis. Capsaicin blocks the transmission of pain chemicals to the brain. The effect appears to be strictly symptomatic, but other than a local sensation of heat, it is far safer than acetaminophen and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. |
