Food and Health-Prevention

Here are a few things we have learned.

Gum Pain
Add fresh organic cinnamon and freshly ground organic nutmeg stored in a 2-4 ounce jar. Add it to your natural toothpaste and brush teeth as usual to stop throbbing pain until you can have the condition evaluated by a dentist. They are a natural analgesic. A member or our team tried this and was effective. Individual results may vary. This should never be used as a substitute for dental care since this will not cure an underlying problem.

Migraines
Consuming a lime a day with juice and pulp prevents some forms of migraine headache. This was recommeded by someone else, and it worked for a member of our team that had suffered from migraines for forty years.

Diabetes
Coconut sugar is lower on the glycemic scale. It can be substituted for cane or beet sugar and is used in the same amount. We use it to prevent the onset of diabetes.
Cinnamon and green beans help reduce blood sugar. Cinnamon leaf extract may be helpful. A family member has found green beans very effective and eats them every day.
This is not medical advice. Always seek assistance of a qualified medical doctor.

Macular Degeneration
Kale, blueberries and huckleberries are protective against macular degeneration.
