The Healing Specialist Watercress


This month, researchers at Southampton University discovered that within hours of eating 3oz of watercress a day – about a full cereal bowl – a small group of breast cancer survivors had a higher level of cancer-fighting molecules in their blood.
They found the compound phenethyl isothiocyanate – which gives watercress its peppery taste – blocks the hypoxia-inducible factor protein which helps cancer tumours grow.
They also found watercress helps ‘turn off’ the signals that cancer cells send out asking the body for more blood and oxygen.
Professor Graham Packham, who led the research, said: ‘I was surprised that eating one portion produced significant levels of this compound in the blood. It has the potential to have the same effect with other cancers.’


It is an excellent source of natural phytonutrients, substances in plants that have antioxidant properties such as isothiocyanates, flavonoids and carotenoids.
It also contains folate, which helps maintain normal blood levels of homocysteine (high levels are associated with an increased coronary heart disease risk) as well as decreasing the risk of neural tube defects such as spina bifida. Read on...

The Lazarus Cure

One day my friend Jake hopped onto his bicycle and, like he had done many times before, my good friend and "weekend warrior" entered himself into a long-distance racing event.  The event was to last seven days. But Jake  never  made it to the end of the first day.  He suffered a  massive heart attack  and died before reaching the hospital.  He was 63 years of age.  When I heard the news I was as shocked as anyone.  I am no stranger to death, but when someone with vitality is suddenly snatched away like this it is a sombre reminder that no-one is immune to the laws of biology, and that  we take our fate in our hands every single day that we take our health for granted.   I do not know what killed Jake that day. Many factors might have contributed. Stress, diet, high blood pressure coupled with poor medical intervention, or none at all... Who knows? But I can say two things with some degree of certainty. ...

BREAKTHROUGH!

99% of life on Earth depends on this "Ultra-Food"... and yet, less than 1% of Human Beings eat it! According to NASA research, if this "ultra-food" disappeared from the planet, nearly all life would cease to exist. And yet, this super-food was not available to humans in its rawest, purest form. Until now... What I'm about to share with you is Mother Nature’s Original Super-food. And when you ingest it, this ultra-food "triggers" your body to create trillions of healthy new cells! It's an "ultra-food" that you may have never heard of, but it's been around since the beginning of life on Earth. Up until recently, this ultra-food was simply not available for human consumption in its rawest, purest form. And that's too bad… Because just one dose contains hundreds of nutrients, vitamins and over 92 trace minerals. And because of the size of this "ultra-food" (it's about two microns, this is four times smaller than...
