Lemons are 10,000 times Stronger than Chemotherapy

Lemon-kills-cancer-research-essential-oils-medical

10,000 times more powerful than chemotherapy


Lemon (citrus) kills cancer. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy.


Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits.  the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc… It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors. This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders.


The source of this information comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world that validates in more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970 that the extracts revealed that:


It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas.


The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells.


This type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells.

The Effects of Peppermint on Exercise Performance

The effects of peppermint on exercise performance



Meamarbashi A, Rajabi A

Journal of International Society of Sports Nutrition, 2013



ABSTRACT:


BACKGROUND:
Enhancing athletic performance is a great desire among the athletes, coaches and researchers. Mint is one of the most famous natural herbs used for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antioxidant, and vasoconstrictor effects. Even though inhaling mint aroma in athletes has been investigated, there were no significant effects on the exercise performance.


METHODS:
Twelve healthy male students every day consumed one 500 ml bottle of mineral water, containing 0.05 ml peppermint essential oil for ten days. Blood pressure, heart rate, and spirometry parameters including forced vital capacity (FVC), peak expiratory flow rate (PEF), and peak inspiratory flow (PIF) were determined one day before, and after the supplementation period. Participants underwent a treadmill-based exercise test with metabolic gas analysis and ventilation measurement using the Bruce protocol.


RESULTS:
The FVC (4.57 ± 0.90 vs. 4.79 ± 0.84; p < 0.001), PEF (8.50 ± 0.94 vs. 8.87 ± 0.92; p < 0.01), and PIF (5.71 ± 1.16 vs. 6.58 ±1.08; p < 0.005) significantly changed after ten days of supplementation. Exercise performance evaluated by time to exhaustion (664.5 ± 114.2 vs. 830.2 ± 129.8 s), work (78.34 ±32.84 vs. 118.7 ± 47.38 KJ), and power (114.3 ± 24.24 vs. 139.4 ± 27.80 KW) significantly increased (p < 0.001). In addition, the results of respiratory gas analysis exhibited significant differences in VO2 (2.74 ± 0.40 vs. 3.03 ± 0.351 L/min; p < 0.001), and VCO2 (3.08 ± 0.47 vs. 3.73 ± 0.518 L/min; p < 0.001).


CONCLUSIONS:
The results of the experiment support the effectiveness of peppermint essential oil on the exercise performance, gas analysis, spirometry parameters, blood pressure, and respiratory rate in the young male students. Relaxation of bronchial smooth muscles, increase in the ventilation and brain oxygen concentration, and decrease in the blood lactate level are the most plausible explanations.

The Effects of Peppermint on Exercise Performance

EEG & EDA Essential Oils Research

The recordings done by the EEG records the brainwaves, which are generated by a variety of active neuronal current generators.


The brain can be divided into three main parts:


  • cerebrum

  • brainstem

  • cerebellum

The cerebrum is a paired structure, with left and right hemispheres, each relating to the opposite side of the body.


The brainstem is divided into four regions – the medulla oblongata, the pons, the midbrain and the diencephalon.


The cerebellum receives information from the spinal cord about the position of the the body and limbs in space and can be simplified and called the “feedback” center for the cerebrum.


Brainwaves


To measure brainwaves electrodes are placed onto the scalp using the EEG, but recordings can also be taken on the exposed surface of the brain and are known as electrocorticograms (ECoG) while thin needle electrodes can also be placed into the tissue of the brain to make recordings, which is referred to as depth recordings.


Brainwaves can basically be divided into four different types –


  • alpha

  • beta

  • theta

  • delta

Alpha brainwaves occur between 8 – 13 Hz and are normally found when a person is awake in a quiet resting state. These alpha waves disappear totally during sleep.


Beta brainwaves occur between 14 – 30 Hz but during intense mental activity can reach 50 Hz.


Theta brainwaves occur between 4 – 7 Hz and are mostly found in children, but can be found in adults in times of emotional stress, and specifically when disappointed or frustrated.


Delta brainwaves occur below 3.5 Hz and occur in normal deep sleep, during infancy and in serious brain disease and occur only within the cortex.


When measuring brainwaves  by means of an EEG it has been noted that there was an increase of alpha waves when smelling lavender oil, which is assumed to be a relaxant fragrance. These test results did however vary when test subjects were in different states of arousal or relaxation.


When using alerting odors, such as jasmine, an increase in brain activity was noted. Certain odors again reduced systolic blood pressure and reduced stress such as nutmeg, mace extract and valerian oil.


During testing another interesting fact came to light – an odor need not be very strong to have an effect on the body.


With electro-dermal activity (EDA) testing (where the electrical current between two points of the skin is measured) it was also found that slower currents occurred with relaxing odors such as  bergamot and lavender.
