New year resolutions: Nourishing your chakras (1)

Published

on

Happy New Year, and welcome to another drawing board for new resolutions. I do not know what your New Year resolutions are. For mine, I am looking at action packed dietary and emotional nutrition. I am sure you, too, will find a great deal of benefits in them. We’ve come a long way with dietary nutrition. We know of proteins, carbohydrates, fats and oil, vitamins and their co-factors, free radicals and antioxidants, their conquerors, phenolic and polyphenolic compounds which prevent damage to cells, anti inflammatories, anti- tumour and apoptic agents which cause cancer cells to commit suicide and offer the hope for cancer conquest. However, many persons are not conversant with emotional nutrition. I will address it as broadly as I can in the second part of this column. I will give a few hints, nevertheless. Every seven years of each person’s existence on earth is meant for the acquisition of certain emotional capacities. These capacities open up the body to receive etheric energy nutrition from the Overself, that in- dwelling consistency which goes by different conceptions and names, one of which, for now, I shall call by its well known name… MIND OVER MATTER. I am not speaking Greek or Latin. When something in us is happy, all muscles in the body are relaxed. The body feels energetic, the skin fresh and the muscles flexible and buoyant. When that consistency is sad or sorrowful, all muscles in the body contract, the body ages rapidly and is de motivated and de energised. I will give some hints, as I suggested. The age groupings are 1-7; 8-14;15- 21; 22-28; 29-35; 36-42; and 43-49. In the Yoruba land of old, men took their 7-year-old sons out of the nests of their mothers to induct them into their own vocations, especially in farming and agriculture. That was after mothers would have enabled their children to achieve, through Love, the first capability which is GROUNDEDNESS on earth or self confidence. Any child who is not self confident in this age category may suffer from inferiority complex and carry this weakness or deformity over to the next agenda (8-15 years) which is about power relationships. Any person who suffers from groundedness deficits is likely, by the conceptions of emotional nutrition, to suffer from certain ailments in the lower spine, legs, feet and sciatic nerves all of which ground the physical body. Power relationships and the emotions they generate are believed to endanger organs in the pubis region, if they are negative emotions. The organs at risk here may include the uterus ( uterine fibroids, for example), fertility problems, prostate gland challenges etc. If the capacities for normal power relations, like groundedness, are not achieved at this age, the deficits would be carried over like “carry over” courses in a university up to the point in life when the deficits can be transformed into assets through the necessary skills acquisition. This is most probably why from the point of view of this class of medicine, pubis region ailments are wide spread today in a country such as Nigeria. I will stop the hints here today and progress to dietary nutrition which we are more conversant with as a reminder of what we did last year and may wish to do better this year.

The brain

When the brain is sagging, de energised or showing signs of depression, even when we are becoming forgetful, losing long term, mid term or short term memory, or when the brain lights up and, literally speaking, fails to go to bed at night, there is a legion of plant medicines we can rely upon to re balance it. Among them are Gingko Biloba, gotu kola, ashwagandah, magnesium, lecithin, melatonin, lemon balm, valerian root, passion flower, stinging nettle, oat straw, maritime pine bark and saffron.

Sinuses

When the sinuses are inflamed, blocking inhalation and exhalation, making us breathe in and out through the mouth, or when the nostrils are running because of bacteria or fungi or pollen or if there is a tendency towards asthma, we know we can support them by eating raw or perboiled orange peel, dropping warm onion juice or saline water into them and sniffing it up. Thanks to researchers, we now know that when such vicissitudes occur for longer than three months, causing inflammation and other damage, the power of anti bacterials may not suffice to subdue them and will have to rev up to anti fungals. Some of the other plant medicines we have found useful include eucalyptus, peppermint, ginger, thyme, turmeric, garlic, curcumin, horseradish, mullein, elecampane, bromelain (from pineapple), elder berry, gentian root and slippery elm. I duff my hat for orange peel because, even in asthma attacks, it brings a wonderful anti histamine armoury to the battle front.

The eyes

When vision is dimming, the alarm bells begin to ring non stop. There may be a thousand and one causes for failing vision. Enough blood may not be reaching the eyes. Along the way, some blood vessels may have become tender and leaky, leaking blood into the eye structure. Oxidative stress may be at play with lots of free radicals and not enough eye specific anti oxidants to quench them. The muscles may be growing weak from lack of exercise or adequate nurture. The collagen structure of the drainage system may be inflamed or breaking down or overgrowing and blocking fluid flow which may cause fluid back up at the back of the eye and impact the light sensitive retina. We are mindful that opinion is growing about whether this is caused by the eye itself or a new factor called type III diabetes. In this type of diabetes, insulin resistance by the cells at the back of the brain which control the eyes make it impossible for them to take up glucose for energy to work. So, they begin to wilt and age, and this begins to affect the eye in the socket. We are being informed that coconut oil in the diet may successfully confront this development by providing these cells with KETONES from fats which they prefer to moribund glucose. We are aware of several plant medicines which help vision health. One of the leaders is Marigold flower which perboiled and eaten with meals as salad and provides the eyes with wonderful antioxidants such as lutein, zeazanthin and asthazanthin. A long list of the others often include omega 3 fats, vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin A, zinc, turmeric, castor oil, bilberry, Gingko Biloba, rutin, eyebright, aloe vera. Rutin strengthens blood vessels, thereby preventing leakages. Zinc is crucial because, without it, the eye cannot successfully use vitamin A, however plentiful the supply to it. Omega-3 is the natural form. Omega H-3 is man made. This differentiation is important also when going for vitamin E. This vitamin is known as tocopherol. The natural form, which is a lot more expensive, is D-ALPHA TOCOPHEROL. About 400 iu dosage daily is often adequate. DL-Alpha tocopherol is petroleum derived and is very cheap and requires about 1000iu dosage daily. Even then, the tocopherol should be mixed tocopherols, that is combining alpha, beta, gamma, delta, etc tocopherols and not just alpha tocopherol. This is a secret in vitamin E business which this column has been revealing for years to help users who prefer cheap plant medicines. You know what? there are also tocotrienols and it is better that they come mixed. What can be better than taking mixed tocopherols and mixed tocotrienols in one mixed action packed remedy? Guess what? You will find them are plenty in PALMFRUIT! We obtain them all when we perboil a handful of palm fruits in saline water and chew the flesh on a meal! It helped me a great deal recover at home during COVID 19 scourge!

Gums and teeth

When cavities develop with roaring pain and gum boils and inflammation pop up with roaring pain and make chewing impossible, living may seem dreadful. Many persons learnt too late that they were short on calcium. Even when they grudgingly take calcium , their choice which is CALCIUM CARBONATE, which is about the cheapest calcium brand and is not well absorbed in the intestine, forming a plastering on tissue wall like cement, that it is on the brick setting of the house, office or factory wall, for example. We may soon learn that much of the calcium has been deployed to alkalanising the blood as it tends towards acidosis through wrong diet and negative emotions, heavy on cooked food, animal meat and empty sugar . Even when the calcium re-inforcements come, we soon learn that we need one part of magnesium to one of it and one part of phosphorus as well. However, not many persons know of VITAMIN K2, which guides calcium to the bones and teeth, preventing depositing in soft tissues such as joints as in arthritis and spondylitis, or in the muscles, lens of the eyes or brain. The calcium family is a big one. We may soon learn it cannot work optimally without VITAMIN D3, which we may obtain from early morning and late afternoon sunshine falling on cholesterol deposits under the skin.

Throat and stomach

When the tide changes and stomach contents climb up the throat towards the mouth, rather than on a downward journey to the intestine, we realise we may have been food greedy. Prophet Mohammed ( May the Peace of Allah upon him, whenever he is), taught that only one third of the stomach be filled with food, another one third with fluid (ostensibly, digestive juices made in the stomach and the last third) with air. Air space is to make room for the gruel to fill in when the stomach hydrolises its contents. Greedy persons fill the stomach to its elastic limit and stop eating to avoid a burst. Thus, food may not digest well, stays longer in the bag and begins to ferment or decay, creating acids which damage the mucus lining and burn the skin beneath it. This is GASTRITIS. Ulcers may present with or without gastritis, and on ulcer sites may appear the notorious ulcer friendly bacteria, HELICOBACTER PYLORI. If the stomach acid touches the lower end of the throat ( oesophagus), the muscle gateway which prevents regurgitation, the lower oesophagal sphincter muscle, may be damaged, and the damage may cause oesophagistis ( inflammation), heartburn or even oesophagal cancer!. I’ve seen some persons with this type of cancer. Some cannot swallow even a drop of water, but surprisingly, saliva passes!. A hole is often made in the abdomen to the stomach and a plastic tube is run in through which they are fed liquified food. The throat may be surgically removed and replaced with a suitable part of the intestine. This means they would be denied the effective role in the digestive process of the lost portion of the intestine.This could mean serious nutritional deficiencies which may be ameliorated with sublingual nutrition. The problems are not done, as HALITOSIS may join with odour from the stomach finding its way to the mouth. Worse could it be if tooth decay or gum infections add their own odour.

These challenges teach us to enrich our diets with anti-inflammatories and digestives such as Ginger, Turmeric, Curcumin, Basil, Fiber, anti-microbials such as Aloe Vera, Oregano, Pawpaw leaves, seeds and sap for their papain, demulcents such as slippery elm. Anti microbials such as liquid chlorophyll, Aloe vera , Grape Seed Extract and Golden Seal Root kill Helicobater Pylori. While it helps the mucus shield to regrow.

The liver

When the eyes, nails or skin are yellowing, we suspect troubles are brewing in the liver. Bigger the trouble may be if the problem is FATTY LIVER. The gall bladder must be looked after and freed of blockages in its outlet ducts. Hepaprotectives must adorn the liver to shield it from all toxins which must pass through it to be defused. Chief among them are MILK THISTLE, Jerusalem Artichoke, Dandelion Root, Golden seal root, carqueja, bitter leaf, bitter kola and proprietary blends, such as formulas as the Golden Six and Diatonic. Liquid Chlorophyll is a cleanser and strengthener. Lecithin is lithotropic and emulsifies cholesterol.

The breasts

When a man learns he has breast cancer, he thinks he is dreaming because many do not know men can develop cancer in their dimunitive breasts. Some women are more prone to it from the easy oxidation of fat content of the female breasts when there are anti oxidants shortfalls in these tissues. We are conversant with Omega 3 fatty acid defence, Vitamin C therapy, Alpha lipoic Acid protection, balancing of estrogen and progesterone hormones, balancing of Estradiol and estrone, the two most dangerous estrogens, against Estriol, the friendliest. We know of useful herbs like yarrow, lady’s mantle, chasteberry (Vitex), squaw vine, shepherd’s purse etc and , in Nigeria, prominent proprietaries like PHYTOESTROGENS, FEMALE FORMULA and GYNOMIL. The arsenal would be incomplete without zinc, Royal Jelly, Vitamin E and Vitamin A. Nowadays, women have learned to massage their breasts with nutritive oils such as those of frankincense (olibanum), olive oil and to eat for their breasts, which means avoidance of artificial sugars, poultry egg, poultry chicken, milk, margarine, butter, sun heated satchets and bottle water and monosodium glutamate, for example. Those eggs, chicken and cow’s milk and water, come with heavy loads of estrogen in animal feed and zeno-estrogens in the case of soft plastic water. What is the point in getting the liver to break estrogens down and in getting the intestine to not absorb them while the diet continues to stoke the fire, thus making a susceptible woman become or remain a heavy estrogens storage tank as it were. Beyond these factors, as we shall see in the second part of this article, emotional disturbances which makes a woman develop and sustain pathological hatred for a man is often the root cause of some breast cancer. The second article should also show how COLOUR GREEN may help as may energy gadgets.

The intestine

When some British doctors said more than 40 years ago that DEATH BEGINS SLOWLY BUT SURELY IN THE COLON, many persons thought they over spoke. Now, camera probes in colonoscopy display on screens for the patient to see how his or her colon has degenerated. Happily, too, the ever advancing knowledge of plant medicines now offer possibilities of reversals. A gentleman who gave me the nickname PAU D’ARCO was a beneficiary of this plant medicine. I must state, though, that Pau D’ARCO was one of the herb combinations which reversed his “occult” blood and saved his colon from cuts and sutures. Before he departed, pa S.K Oyeigbemo permitted that I cite his case in this column. He was a former General Manager of the then POST OFFICE SAVINGS BANK. He shared his experiences with persons who read this column and telephoned him. One of them is his friend, Pa Adeniji of Shagamu in his eighties, his son and Pa Oye Igbemo’s driver, who also lives in Shagamu. Several colonoscopies showed actively bleeding colon tissue which regular tests failed to pick because the blood came from far away in the colon and had changed form, for which reason it is called OCCULT BLOOD. Pa Oye Igbemo said one of his friends who had colon surgery for it did not “gather himself” until he passed, and he did not wish similar fate for himself. As will be shown in the second part of this article, the energy of yellow spectrum of the sun’s Ray’s may cure intestinal challenges such as this.

Uterine fibroids, prostate

When men and women turn up at their doctors nowadays, the talk of the day may no longer be hypertension, heart and circulation matters or of a stroke or the possibility, but of UTERINE FIBROIDS or of PROSTATE GLAND questions such as Benign prostate Hyperplasia(BPH or inflammation), prostate enlargement or prostate cancer.

Like the breasts, uterine fibroids may clear up with a plant medicine war on a woman’s fiery estrogens which may have been harvests of dietary seeds long sown. These seeds may not be only estrogen and zeno estrogen fuel. Too much calcium and too little magnesium are being implicated nowadays. There is also the growing conception of obsessive longing to become a mother which a gross deficit of marriageable men does not support. If the emotional gap between longing and reality impacts uncushionable impact on the ego which is unresolved, the body may compensate the deep wish for pregnancy with a benign growth, fibroids, in the uterus, it is said.

As for the prostate gland, the various outstanding causes of trouble are better understood today, although, as in the history of civilisation, there must still be a lot more to learn and to know. The possibility of COLOUR YELLOW and quantum energy helping out should be discussed in the next part of this column. Meanwhile, many men continue to enjoy reprieve from their urinary headaches, including the wearing on their bodies of the urine bag, such plant medicines as Omega 3 fats, zinc, saw palmetto berries, pygeum Africanum, small flowered willow herb, stinging nettle root , curcumin, bee pollen, ashwagandah and Black Peruvian macca.
