For the record, on the record and to let the record reflect, Cannabis is one of the most powerful plants on the planet.  The plant has an innumerable amount of medicinal uses.  There is no disputing the wonders of this natural miracle.  This article is not for or against smoking marijuana.  Our goal is to share a balanced perspective and provide some information that you may or may not have known.  Smoking marijuana, also known as cannabis, can have a number of potential health effects. Some of these effects may be beneficial, while others may be harmful. One potential benefit of smoking marijuana is that it may help to alleviate certain medical conditions, such as chronic pain, nausea, and muscle spasms. Studies have also suggested that marijuana may be useful in treating conditions such as glaucoma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and multiple sclerosis (MS). However, smoking marijuana can also have a number of negative effects on one's health. One of the main concerns is that smoking marijuana can lead to lung damage, just like smoking tobacco does. This is because the smoke from marijuana contains many of the same harmful chemicals as tobacco smoke. Additionally, smoking marijuana can lead to chronic bronchitis and other respiratory problems, as well as an increased risk of lung infections.  Of course, this is not the case for everyone but it is common. Smoking marijuana can also have an impact on mental health. It can lead to increased risk of developing mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis, especially in people who are predisposed to such conditions.  Many people have reported to having cognitive impairments, such as problems with memory and attention.  Another concern is that smoking marijuana is a gateway to addiction.  Though people deny this fact, very few people can stop smoking marijuana "cold-turkey" tomorrow if they had to. Why?  Because long-term marijuana use typically leads to physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms, such as irritability, insomnia, and loss of appetite. It's also important to note that marijuana is still illegal in many countries and states, possessing, using or distributing marijuana may lead to legal problems and criminal records. It may also have negative effects on social and occupational functioning. In conclusion, smoking marijuana can have a number of potential health effects, both positive and negative. While it may be beneficial for treating certain medical conditions, it can also lead to a number of negative effects on one's health, including lung damage, mental health issues, and addiction. It's important for individuals to be aware of these risks and to make informed decisions about marijuana use. If someone does choose to use marijuana, it is important to do so responsibly and in consultation with a healthcare professional.  Weed (aka marijuana) is being grown in abundance which raises the concern of quality.  Due to the commercialization and legalization of the plant there's more probability that the same thing that has happened with the food industry is happening in the cannabis industry.  That's right ...... GMO Marijuana.  If you're going to be smoking a plant or consuming it for medicinal purposes it almost defeats the purpose if you're not getting the organic true article.  Be diligent and vigilant in where you purchase. HEALTHIER OPTIONS Cannabis oil, also known as CBD oil, is a concentrated extract of the cannabis plant that is taken orally or applied topically. Unlike smoking marijuana, cannabis oil does not involve inhaling smoke or vapor, which may make it a healthier option for some individuals. Cannabis oil can be made from both the marijuana plant and the hemp plant, which is a strain of the cannabis plant that has a very low THC content (the psychoactive compound in marijuana) and a high CBD content (the non-psychoactive compound in marijuana). CBD oil made from hemp is legal in many countries as it contains less than 0.3% of THC, while marijuana-derived CBD oil is legal in some states where marijuana is legal. Cannabis oil can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including pain, anxiety, depression, and seizures. CBD oil has been found to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, which can be helpful in managing chronic pain. CBD also has been found to have a calming effect on the central nervous system, making it effective in treating anxiety and depression. It has also been found to be effective in treating seizures and other neurological conditions. Cannabis oil is also a popular alternative to smoking marijuana due to its method of consumption. It can be taken orally, applied topically, or inhaled through a vaporizer, which may be less harmful to the lungs than smoking. Additionally, it may be a better option for those who are sensitive to the psychoactive effects of THC, as it allows for more precise dosing and control over the amount of THC and CBD consumed. This does not mean that cannabis oil is perfect and without risk!  People who take cannabis oil may experience side effects such as dry mouth, dizziness, and drowsiness. It can also interact with other medications and should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. For the sake of not heating the plant and changing the chemical structure of marijuana we recommend the juicing of the plant via adding it to a green smoothie, eating it (taste isn't so great) or simply just using the oil, The oil is a concentrated extract of the cannabis plant that can be taken orally, applied topically, or inhaled through a vaporizer, which may be less harmful to the lungs than smoking. It may also be a better option for those who are sensitive to the psychoactive effects of THC. Remember to use it under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Is smoking marijuana healthy in the long run?  That will largely depend on how the plant is grown, genetics and a person's lifestyle.  What we do know is that smoking diminishes the nutrition that the plant holds and causes a toxic irritation to the body.  In general we recommend consuming the plant without the addition of fire.  If you are a smoker be wise in your consumption. **Protect your Lungs and Respiratory System by trying our: Lungs & Respiratory Food Formula, Mucus Broom and Vitamin C All Rights Reserved by  Powered By Nature Herbs

Drinking soda, also known as carbonated soft drinks or simply "soda," has become a popular and ubiquitous beverage in many cultures around the world. However, despite its widespread popularity, soda consumption can have a number of negative effects on one's health. In this article, we will explore some of the ways in which drinking soda can be harmful to the body. One of the most well-known negative effects of soda consumption is its impact on dental health. The high sugar content and acidity of soda can lead to tooth decay and erosion, which can cause sensitivity, discoloration, and even tooth loss. Additionally, the artificial colors and flavors often found in soda can also discolor teeth.  Soda (or pop as it's called in Midwest America) is a major contributor to obesity and other weight-related health issues. A single can of soda can contain up to 40 grams of sugar, which is the equivalent of 10 teaspoons. Consuming this much sugar on a regular basis can lead to weight gain, and an increased risk of obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders. Another negative effect of soda consumption is its impact on bone health. Studies have shown that women who consume soda on a regular basis are at an increased risk of osteoporosis, a condition in which bones become weak and brittle. The phosphoric acid found in soda can also disrupt the body's calcium balance, which can lead to bone loss over time. If you care about your heart you may not want to overindulge in the consumption of soda.  It seems to have a negative impact on heart health. The high sugar content in soda can lead to an increased risk of heart disease, as it can contribute to the development of fatty deposits in the arteries. Additionally, the caffeine found in many types of soda can increase blood pressure and heart rate, which can further increase the risk of heart disease. Let's speak about how it taxes digestive system. The high sugar and acid content of soda can lead to stomach ulcers, acid reflux, and other stomach and intestinal issues. Additionally, the artificial sweeteners found in many diet sodas can disrupt the balance of good bacteria in the gut, which can lead to a variety of health problems.  Protect the gut at all cost. There's such a big conversation around mental health these days.  And though much of it seems a bit sensationalized and surface based, one can't deny the importance of mental clarity, stability and prime function.  Pop can also have negative effects on mental health. The high sugar content in soda can lead to a spike in blood sugar levels, which can cause mood swings, anxiety, and even depression.  The caffeine in soda can lead to insomnia and other sleep problems, which can further contribute to mental health issues. Do you notice a recurring them throughout this article?  in case you haven't it's SUGAR.  Processed sugar in and of itself is arguably the most powerful drug on the planet.  From tooth decay and erosion to obesity, heart disease, and mental health issues, the risks of soda consumption are clear. It's a free world to live and do as we please as individuals but please aware of these risks.  Make informed decisions about their beverage choices. Drinking water, herbal teas, fresh fruit juice and other healthier options can be a better alternative and can help to promote overall health and well-being.

The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, tissues, and organs that play a crucial role in the body's immune system. It is responsible for removing excess fluid, waste products, and foreign substances from the body's tissues. The lymphatic system is also involved in the production and transportation of white blood cells, which are essential for fighting off infections and diseases. One of the main functions of the lymphatic system is to help keep fluid levels in the body in balance. When blood circulates through the body, it loses some of its fluid, which can build up in the tissues and cause swelling. The lymphatic system works to remove this excess fluid and return it to the bloodstream. This is accomplished through a series of vessels that carry lymph, a clear fluid that is similar to blood plasma, throughout the body. These vessels have one-way valves that prevent the lymph from flowing backwards and help to push it along. We continue to re-iterate the importance of gut health.  One of the not so well known facts is that we have a substantial portion of the lymphatic system located in the stomach/abdomen area.  And immunity is in the gut! The lymphatic system  plays a vital role in the body's immune system. It is home to a variety of immune cells, including lymphocytes and macrophages, which help to identify and destroy harmful pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses. Additionally, the lymphatic system is involved in the production of white blood cells, which are necessary for fighting off infections and diseases.  This means that if your lymphatic system is clogged up or not functioning well (for whatever reason), your immunity could be at risk. The dead cells of the body, and foreign substances, such as bacteria and toxins, from the body's tissues are pushed out by the lymphatic system too! This is accomplished through a series of lymph nodes that are located throughout the body, including in the armpits, groin, and neck. These nodes contain immune cells that help to identify and destroy harmful pathogens, as well as filter out waste products and foreign substances.  When you notice the lymph nodes swollen this is generally an indication. that the body is fighting off some form of challenge. Your lymph and blood fluid are the two major fluids of the body. What makes the lymphatic system more challenging to maintain at an optimal level is our lifestyle.  The lymphatic system does not have its' own pump such as the blood (via the circulatory system).  Which means, that the lymph is moved throughout the body when we are active.  We serve as the pump to the immune system.  Some of the best ways to active the lymphatic system is through: Exercising, Sitting in the sauna or steam room, Brushing your body, Performing head stands, Breath work (see Wim Hof breathing), lymphatic cleansing herbs, Daily controlled sun exposure, Citrus fruit and more. Some of the Best Herbs for the Lymphatic System: Ginger, Cleavers, Red Root, Echinacea, Poke Root, Dandelion, Hydrangea, Blood Root, Burdock Root   Article Courtesy of: Powered By Nature Herbs  

As you continue to grow on your health journey you will discover things that may seem weird in nature but will be beneficial to your overall well being.  For me, Spirulina was one of those things.  The thought of consuming a seaweed or an algae was unthinkable.  I had always thought of algae (or an algae eater rather) as something that we use in a fish tank to help facilitate a healthier environment for the fish.  Never once did I consider the thought of consuming algae as a part of my personal diet.  I soon found out just how little I knew about wellness.​So what is Spirulina? Spirulina is a blue-green fresh water algae that was once considered to be a staple food in the Aztec and Mesoamerican culture.  What makes it unique is the amount of nutrients that it contains.  This plant contains high amounts of iron, calcium Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, magnesium and Vitamin C.  It is said to be one of the world's most nutrient dense foods.  This means that you will be hard pressed to find individual food sources that have equal or more nutrients than Spirulina has.  There are other forms of healthy seaweeds in addition to spirulina.  This just so happens to be my favorite.  If you feel that you'd like to try something else there is; sea moss, dulse, wakame, nori, kombu, bladderwrack and kelp.  The Japanese culture has been documented as the longest lived people on earth in recent studies.  It's no coincidence that their diet is rich in sea vegetables.  They consume high amounts of soups and vegetables within their daily alimentation.  Sea veggies like spirulina are ideal for our consumption because they come from fresh water and are rich in minerals.  All nutrients are essential for human consumption but if I had to single out a family of nutrients that's at the top of the food chain it would be minerals.  Without minerals you cannot absorb vitamins.  Without minerals you are prone to contract any one of a collection of nutrient deficiency diseases.  Sea vegetables like spirulina, sea moss and others are most noted for their high mineral content. Unlike the fresh produce that we consume from the land on which we reside, spirulina and other sea veggies do not rely on the soil for their growth.  This in turn gives them an advantage as we know that much of our soil has been tainted over the years due to environmental pollution and farming methods.  Blue-green algae and all other sea vegetation rely on the water for their growth.  The one concern that I have with regards to seaweed is that they too are subject to pollution via the water.  You must be diligent in finding out which commercial brands are the best.  Consult your local herbalist or herb shop to find out if the brands that are available to you are credible.​One of the most impressive benefits to consuming seaweed is that you generally don't need to consume anything else as a supplement.  One or two high quality mineral-rich seaweed supplements on the daily basis will be just enough to help you get on the right track.  This is of course in addition to a healthy balanced diet and moderate exercise (if possible).  Spirulina is available in capsules or bulk powder form.  If you purchase it in powder form it's easiest to consume in a smoothie.  Trying to consume spirulina in a cup of water may be tough for the average person.  If you can pull it off I say go for it.  But I haven't had the urge to do so.  The most expedient way would be to get them in capsule form.  Be sure that the capsules are vegetable or vegan capsules as you want to consume the healthiest capsule form possible.

I generally patronize the fruit and vegetable market about three to four times per week.  I recently realized that I have never spoken to the many powerful benefits of consuming eggplant.  At the top of that is how fast eggplant lowers cholesterol and blood cholesterol.  While on a recent phone conversation with my grandfather I discovered that eggplant is one of his most prized vegetables out of his entire garden.  This tidbit of information is vital to the conversation because he is 85 years of age and lives primarily from his garden.  Eggplant is know as the garden egg.  It maintains a beautiful dark purple coat that shines brightly.  It is a close family member of the tomato, bell pepper and potatoes.  This is known as the night shade family.  So what makes eggplant so potent and have the ability to lower cholesterol naturally.  It's actually the eggplant juice that contains nutrients that have been proven to lower cholesterol through several studies.  Eggplant contains vitamins B1, B3, B6, copper, folate and fiber for those that have issues with waste buildup within the colon. One of the things that makes eggplant so attractive is that it is also used as a meat substitute. Vegans and vegetarians alike love adding eggplant to their recipes.  You can fry, bake, broil, boil, sautee or stew it and it will taste great.  I've had the great pleasure of consuming eggplant soup which was extremely nutritious and tasty.  When we think in terms of cellular health we have to also think in terms of blood health because healthy clean blood means healthy clean cells.  This will require us to consume fruits and vegetables that are dark in color.  This is also what makes eggplant suitable and recommended for frequent consumption.  Aside from eggplant, other blood building foods are dark grapes, cherries, strawberries, black berries, blueberries and more.To begin consumption of the eggplant it is recommended that you peel the vegetable first and slice for preparation.  If you're frying you may slice them in the same manner as people slice green tomatoes when frying them.  If you decided to make a soup you may want to consider cutting the eggplant in blocks before adding them to the pot.  All in all this is a very healthy cholesterol lowering food that works wonders.  I suppose it does not get the acclaim that the other foods receive because of it's shape and name.  As you hear the name and you are not familiar with the vegetable one would automatically surmise that egg and plant don't seem to go together.  For myself, this is what subconsciously made me shy away from this nutritious food.  In my mind I had a picture of an egg inside of a plant and I was repelled by the thought of even consuming it.  I was most definitely wrong!  Try this beautiful vegetable for yourself and experience the results.*Products related to this article: PLANT IRON PLUS  

IT'S NOT A BIG STOMACH - IT'S A BIG COLON One day while visiting Los Angeles, I decided to stop in and consult with a friend of is Colon Hydrotherapist.  It's actually in Torrance, California, which is just outside of the city of Los Angeles.  Monisha Garner, founder and chief colon hydrotherapist at Moya Body Care, began sharing information about aspects of colon health that you don't often hear about.  She expressed one particular fact that caught my attention.  She stated that, "Many people believe that a protruding belly is actually a big stomach.  But it's not.  A big belly is really a big colon."  This was my first time hearing about this.  Upon doing my research, her information proved to be right and exact! I've always been a an advocate for sound colon health but this fact was very up lifting.  She further informed me that the colon's function is much like that of a hallway though most of us think of it as a storage facility.  And this is the actual problem.  Your colon is there to allow waste to pass through and out of your body.  Due to the insalubrious dietary habits that people possess, the colon end's up functioning as a storage facility.  The result is the putrefaction of processed foods, animal products and more.  Over time this food sticks to the colon wall and hardens.  If nothing changes and you continue in the nutritional lifestyle the garbage begins to pile up.  After a while the growth of waste will begin to show via the stomach (big belly).  Of course a big colon is not the ONLY reason for a big stomach, but it plays a large role. SO HOW DO YOU FIX THIS? There are many ways to correct this issue.  The easiest way is to remove the offending foods from your diet.  You know the story.  Fresh produce and fresh juice is the way.  Cutting out food from a package, can or bottle is probably the most powerful tool you could implement.  In addition to this you will want to increase your water intake.  The key is to drink half of your body weight in ounces.  If you weigh 200 pounds then you should be consuming 100 ounces of water per day.  If you weigh 150 pounds you should be consuming 75 ounces of water per day.  The fiber and water content of the fresh produce will help push the waste out of your system.  I prefer distilled water but you can consume the water you feel is best for you.   Distilled water is very efficient at helping to remove toxins from your body as well.  By consuming a good amount of fruits you will glean natural distilled water as well as the distilled water you're drinking. CLEANSING PLANTS When you're looking for results quicker than your expected 4 to 6 month turn around of healing time for the body, it's best to incorporate herbs.  Herbs serve as a form of natural medicine and nutrition. They perform many tasks within the body.  Unbeknownst to the masses, most nearly all pharmaceutical drugs have their origins in an herb (plant).  But unlike the complete herb, a pharmaceutical drug extracts certain active elements and compounds from the plant, so it is not as complete as the actual herb.  This is why we've created the colon food plus formula.  If all or most disease comes through your gut then it only makes the most sense to take special care of your colon.  The colon food plus is comprised of a special blend of herbs that target the colon walls and digestive tract.  Those hard to clean areas in the colon are gently scrubbed and slowly removed with herbs.  Some of the best herbs for the colon include but are not limited to: barberry bark, senna leaf, senna pods, black walnut hulls, psyllium husks, chickweed and cascara sagrada. It's your gut health that regulates your immunity!  You're more prone to contract colds, the flu and many other ailments without a strong immune system.  If you're overweight or experiencing any other health challenges, it's a good chance that you're in need of a colon sweeping.  It's like the plumbing in your home.  If your pipes are clogged in your bathroom, no one can take a shower or flush the toilet.  It won't be soon before everyone runs out of the house because no one can bathe or release waste.  Take care of your plumbing system (also known as the colon). **Related Products to this article) - Colon Food Plus, Mucus Broom Powered By Nature Herbs (© All Rights Reserved 2020)  

If you've ever observed or been around a dog long enough, the one thing you can say is that dogs have more sense than which people give them credit.  The one thing i've noticed with the dogs that i've had over the course of my life is that when they get sick, they stop eating!  If it's a dog that's a stray and it's not feeling well you will sometimes notice it eating grass.  It's because a dog is far more in touch with nature than human beings are (in a general sense).  And it instinctively understands that herbs or grass can either help cleanse or provide medicine that contributes to healing.  A dog will not continue eating and eating if it has an issue with its' stomach.   However, a human being will not only continue eating but it will be so brazen as to eat more than it's share of unhealthy food.  This is part of the reason why individuals have such a hard time overcoming disease.  They can't help themselves from putting food in their mouth.  Even if it means the food will exacerbate their current unfavorable situation.  In my opinion, one of the best ways to help yourself to overcome chronic illness is to stop eating and start drinking. How does this help?  The human body is between 60 and 70 percent water on average.  At the bottom of most nearly all health conditions is dehydration and malnutrition.  Either the body is not hydrated enough or the body has not received enough nutrients.  By properly hydrating the body you're doing a few things.  The first thing you're doing (which is critical to your healing) is that you're flushing all of the garbage or waste byproducts from your body.  If trash remains in the system it disrupts important functions within the body.  The second thing that you're doing is you're allowing nutrients to be transported to deficient areas in order that they begin regain strength and function.  Lastly, you are hydrating all of the major organs and body systems within the body.  Most of your major organs are anywhere from 60 to 85% water (in composition).  Whether you're drinking fresh fruit or vegetable juice or water, each liquid source plays a vital role in recovery. Drinking also allows your digestive system a chance to rest from the rigorous work that it generally has to perform.  When you give rest to your digestive system you afford your body the opportunity to place it's focus on repairing the body as opposed to digesting food (which requires a lot of energy). As you begin to start consuming more juice and water you may want to consider adding or mucus broom and colon food plus formulas.  These two formulas contain herbs with an affinity for enhancing the rejuvenation process for individuals who consume high amounts of liquids. ----------------------------------- **Related Products: Colon Food Plus, Mucus Broom Powered By Nature Herbs (© All Rights Reserved 2020)

Naturally, there is no guarantee that smoking (anything) means that you're going to contract some form of lung ailment.  It only means that you could be strengthening the odds against you that your lung function will decline sooner than the average individual walking the streets.  But hey, "you're gonna die anyway, right?"  While nothing could be more true, i'd still like to share a few things that you might want to incorporate to help combat any potential damage to your lungs.   For the record and for the road, smoke of any form is not ideal for the lungs.  People often send me tons of research papers about the endocannabinoid system, and how it's in place to help us withstand marijuana smoke.  I'm not here to debate, only here to assist.  The fact will always remain that heating up any plant changes the chemical structure and produces "some" toxic irritation within the system.  But again, I have no axes to grind with anyone, but reality is reality.  In case you are interested, a healthier alternative to smoking cannabis would be  to consume cannabis oil or juicing the baby leaf.  The plant is beyond a miracle plant! Anyway, this is not an article about smoking weed.  it's about smoking anything.  One simple yet powerful giveaway that you should not be smoking anything is that you cough when you inhale smoke.  If smoke was meant to be in your lungs then your body would not be trying so hard to eliminate the toxicity associated with smoke when you're inhaling.  When else do you notice people coughing profusely?  When they have a cold or the flu, right?  That's because a cough is a beneficial effort by the body to remove toxins from the body via the mouth. WHAT I WOULD DO IF I WERE A SMOKER 1.  CLEAN UP MY DIET - If you're already bringing toxins into your body via smoke it's not wise to add more toxins via my nutritional lifestyle.  A cleaner healthier diet means more antioxidants in the diet which can therefore kill off pathogens and protect cells and tissues. 2.  EXERCISE CONSISTENTLY - When you smoke you're really taxing the lungs.  By exercising consistently you're training your lungs to gain strength and also detoxing them especially if you're running outside in fresh air in addition to cross fit, weight lifting or other workout routines. 3. CUT DOWN ON FRIED FOODS - Think about it.  The fried food goes through your throat and the rancid oil sticks to areas of your upper respiratory system.  No need to add toxicity on top of toxicity.  Many people that don't smoke also contract lung ailments. 4.  SUPPLEMENT WITH A RESPIRATORY HERB - Balance is key.  While you're taking in smoke it's imperative to consume something that has an affinity for strengthening and cleansing the lungs in the process.  Many of your over-the-counter nasal and respiratory treatments contain natural herbs that are popular in the natural world for treating lung and respiratory conditions.  Many of these products contain herbs like peppermint, eucalyptus, oregano, wild cherry bark and clove.  Why would anyone focus on maintaining clean and strong lungs if they smoke (or otherwise)?  The lungs along with the kidneys are responsible for regulating your blood ph.  If your lungs do not function correctly then you run the risk of interrupting important body functions that operate to save your life each day.  Incorporating lung strengthening herbs will work wonders for people who smoke but who also do not smoke.  It's not a matter of if you smoke or do not smoke because in truth, the environment is contaminated.  So in the end everyone needs to protect their lungs.    (Products related to article): LUNGS & RESPIRATORY FOOD *Powered By Nature Herbs (© All Rights Reserved 2020)  

Of all products or natural plants, without a doubt Black Seed and Black Seed Oil is by far the most talked about.  It seems that black seed products have taken on a life of their own.  And for good reason.  So what makes black seed such a powerful plant? For starters, there's a lot of mystery and folklore surrounding black seed so I'd like to address the claims that have some legitimacy to them.  The use of black seed dates back to ancient Arabia, Ancient Africa and biblical times.  The most popular thing associated with black seed is that it was said to be found in the coffin of tomb of King Tut, arguably the most famous pharaoh in Egyptian history.  Tutankhamun's physician used black seed on patients for cough, flu and other common ailments.  Black seed, also known as Ketza, was used in the bible.  It has many names such as; black seed, black cumin, black coriander but the scientific generic name of it is nigella sativa. What is black seed really good for?  It is high in vitamin c, potassium, iron, magnesium (which is great for regulating heart function) and it's also an anti-viral plant.  It's most popular for being associated with the ability to shrink tumors.  This plant is great at overall cellular nutrition which is not something that can be said for many plants.  There are many cancer studies that include information on black seed's ability to help the body against cancer.   Most people consume black seed in oil form.  The issue with this is that the taste is very tough and quite simply it's an oil.  Meaning that this plant undergoes a process in order that we can consume its' oil.  This is not to say that the plant is not powerful in oil form.  But what we're simply stating is that any plant that undergoes a process in order that you may extract oil from the plant is losing its' power to some degree or the other.  In my opinion, it's best to consume the plant in whole form via a capsule (containing the ground elements of the plant). One of the other challenges with consuming the oil is that the moment oil (of any kind) comes in contact with oxygen (air) it starts to go rancid.  It's nothing to be overly concerned about as it happens with all oils but it is something of which to take note.  We recommend the pill or powder form.  Ask yourself this question. Which is more powerful?  Apple or apple juice? Orange or orange juice? Olive or olive oil?  The answer is that the whole food has the most power because not only does it contain what the juice or oil would provide but it has additional nutrients in the original plant that helps to absorb all essential aspects of the plant. In summary, black seed will serve as a multipurpose plant that provides ultimate nutrition at the cellular level.  This combination is very difficult to come by which is why this plant was so revered by the Ancient Egyptian culture.  If this plant was commonly used to treat and heal Pharaohs and prominent members of one of the most powerful and influential civilizations in the history of the world then certainly this plant can provide a multitude of benefits for you.   Try our black seed reloaded formula that is the only black seed product on the market formulated with omega 7 in addition to complimentary plants that are high in omega 3.  The lack of dietary omega 3 is an issue for most people.  This is in large part due to the high amounts of cream, butter and fat consumed in the standard western diet.  These creams, butters and fats are high in omega 6.  When the omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is unbalanced (greater than 2 to 1), it puts a person at risk for heart disease.      Written by: Wellness Mogul  *Article courtesy of Powered By Nature Herbs (© Rights Reserved 2020)

The family is eating at the dinner table and the dog is sitting on the side of the table seeking eye contact from anyone who is weak enough to give in to his desire for food..  He wags his tail in hopes of winning some table scraps. Your daughter (who loves her golden retriever) mysteriously lets some of her country fried potatoes hit the floor beneath her.  The dog sniffs the food and leaves it there.  As a parent you have warned your children many times before not to give the dog table scraps because it can harm the dog.  Not only can you harm it but it's just not a good habit to get into. During your first visit to the veterinarian they explained to you which were the best dog foods to buy for your dog.  As a human being it is interesting that the food we eat could be harmful to a dog.  It is quite interesting that a dog won't eat everything that a human would but yet we consider ourselves to be smarter than dogs.  I know I know... in the hood there are a mob of stray dogs that eat anything they can out of people's garbage because they are unable to eat from the various selections of premium dog foods.The logic behind you being told never to give your dog table food is relatively simple.  Dogs cannot cook for themselves, go to the grocery store and buy their own food or fix their own plate.  For this reason dog foods have to be mechanically engineered perfectly with all the known essential nutrients. Dog foods must be able to give them a nutritional benefit with every bite taken. Have you ever seen a dog vomit after a child gave it a pop sickle or a piece of chocolate?  Most of us have.There are dogs that try to taste everything but then there is the dog that you think something is wrong with because the dog won't eat certain foods.  It is due in large part to the fact that its' stomach is not used to those kinds of elements and thus the digestive system rejects them immediately.  Although some of us have those stuck-up spoiled dogs who think they are supposed to eat everything that humans consume.  You know the kind that will only eat meat and chicken bones but if you throw them some rice, beans or greens on the floor they will look at you and walk off as if to say, "I'm no fool!"  I'm not i'm not speaking of these dogs!The interesting part about this is although dog foods are mechanically engineered your dog will more likely than not eat better than your child unless you are extremely knowledgeable about nutrition.  All dog foods come with a certain amount of minerals in them. Generally, they contain twenty-five to thirty-five minerals. Science Diet Dog Food contains roughly forty minerals. This is not just true for dogs as it is all other animals that are fed with pellets or bite size capsules.  When a child is born they have two options.  They will either take milk from their mother's breasts or consume baby formulas. Two of the leading children's formulas on the market are Enfamil and Pro Soy Be.  On their best days they contain twelve to thirteen minerals in their formula.  The other formulas on the market generally contain ten or less. Twelve minerals is a far cry from the Dog food that contains 40 minerals.  You do the math on who is eating better.According to Dr. Joel Wallach, "Children on average are not getting the proper nutrients at birth which in turn causes them to contract diseases that use to occur in people in their sixties and seventies. These illnesses are not genetic but they are cultural." They are cultural in the fact that children will more than likely follow the same diet that their parents followed which will lead to the same illnesses.  Some of those illnesses include; poor digestion, constipation, diabetes, obesity and hyperactivity (ADD).  To alleviate this problem it is wise to cut back or even stop feeding your children cereals that contain sugar packed non-digestible vitamins.  Foods like Froot Loops, Cocoa Puffs and Corn Flakes would all be examples of cereals that contain vitamins but in a non-digestible form.I hope that you can understand why your dog won't eat all of the food that your kids will.  The simple explanation is that your dog probably gets more nutrition from the dog foods that it consumes.A solution to getting your children more minerals would be for you to consume a good liquid or plant based supplement loaded with at least 60 minerals.  If you are a nursing mother your children will feed from you and consume some of those minerals.  If you're not nursing you may want to consider giving your child Alternative Baby Milk Nutritive.  This is loaded with various types of vitamins and minerals that the body needs.  Both of these suggestions coupled with consuming a diet rich in plant life.  It's a shame that dog foods are prepared with more essential nutrients than baby formulas!  The good news is that you can do something about the issue now that you know.Article compliments of Powered By Nature Herbs . All Rights Reserved 2018.

You might ask, what does sex transmutation have to do with transmitting? To break that down we must start by talking about celibacy.  I have to cover the art of using celibacy as a tool for the overall improvement of mankind because there are more than enough articles, magazines and videos promoting sex that are currently circulating the air and ocular waves.  Above all things there has to be balance and so this article is an attempt to share information that could potentially provide balance as it relates to the health and wellness of your spirit and physical body.  We already know how to get it in!! During my professional basketball career I had a coach who was like a father to me named Marc Fulcher aka "Black Man" and "Folks" (RIP Folks).   Marc was from the streets of Oakland.   He passed a few years ago but he left me many life principles of which I still apply today.  One of the things that he always stressed to me was that if I decided to go around sleeping with multiple women that I would lose my energy each time I ejaculated.  He knew which players were doing what based on their energy levels during the games.  It was actually quite comical to see guys get break away layups for a dunk and watch their legs buckle while trying to jump!  More importantly as men we would "lose our seed and apart of ourselves each time."  Males, you ever noticed how you feel weaker after ejaculating?I can re-call a time while playing in the Dominican Republic and the woman that I was seeing (at the time) came from La Vega (another part of the Dominican Republic) to visit me while I was in the finals of the playoffs.  My team's first response was to inform me not to have sex with my girl the day before or of any games.  Needless to say I didn't listen.  Consequently, during the following game, ALL of my shots were SHORT and NONE of them went in.  I was scored on several times which was unusual because I am generally the best defensive player on the court!  By the results team officials and fans knew what the case of the pedestrian performance was!  In the DR everybody knows your business damn near before you do!!!Here is the major issue with most of us.  Many have taken the act of sex and made it into a recreation when it was actually intended for pro-creation, exercise and enjoyment, the downloading of information, bonding and much more.   Bliss and enjoyment for two people who are married, in an intimate relationship or have a deep understanding of each other and want the experience.  I don't re-call the biblical scripture where it speaks of man spilling his seed but there is much ancient wisdom on this topic.  For men when you engage in many sex acts you are putting a great deal of pressure on the prostate.  The prostate has to open and close during the ejaculation process as well as be a chief vehicle in the semen formulation process.  I don't have any studies but what I often wonder is, how many men have contracted prostate problems or prostate cancer because they have either masturbated too much or had too much sex?  I believe the numbers are high.When you are trying to achieve a certain level in life you must learn to become celibate and use this energy on your goal.  The great Napoleon Hill made a statement that makes a great deal of sense.  Hill stated (and I'm paraphrasing) that "Generally speaking, people (especially men) don't begin to advance in their career until their mid-forties.  It's only because they have left that sexual energy behind or it has reached calmer levels that allow them to concentrate and get other things done in life. That energy has been put into their job or business now.  This is called sexual transmutation."As it stands there are many people who engage in low vibrational sex.  There is no judgement here because most nearly all of us have done it at some point in life.  Low vibrational sex is just casual sex with people you may not really know or someone that you have no intentions on being with or around.  We basically serve our mundane desires of what we feel is "meeting our needs."  This is about pure satisfaction.  I'm not saying that it can't be done if two people are on the same wave length and are both agreeing to such a thing.  The problem is that one of the two people will eventually want more or could be carrying some bad vibes with them along with sexually transmitted dis-eases.  When you engage in low vibrational sex you have no way of knowing how many people this person has been with.   They might tell you but there is no real way to be sure.  If we are looking at this metaphysically and spiritually then we will understand that you will take on the energy and personality of the individual that you decided to lay with. The most interesting part about this is that not only will you be taking on your sex partner's energy but you will also take on the energy of the people that they have been with.  You ever been physically involved with someone and you begin to act different and you don't even realize why you are behaving differently? It's because you have taken on other personalities. What if that man or woman was with a killer or child molester?  Now you've taken on all of their energy. Energy never dissipates it just changes from one form to the other. There are so many things that can happen to you just because you are not willing to use discretion and focus on what you need to focus on.​Am I saying stop having sex?  Hell no!  We all love it.  What I'm proposing is that if you are plagued with problems (health or personal) or want some clarity on life, you may want to consider taking a break and abstaining from sexual activity.  The time will be based on you as an individual.  Of course that would depend on if you are married or single.  Let's be real, whose spouse is going to want to not get some skins for 6 months?  So above all things we have to be logical.  But if you are single the galaxy is the limit. What's going to happen is your mind will become clear because the sexual energy is going into you and your projects. Meditation and quiet time will prove favorable for your personal development during this period. I remember reading an article about rap group Wutang member Rza.  He shared some information that opened my eyes some years ago.  He revealed that he went celibate for one to two years (don't quote me on the time frame but it was an extended period of time). The result of his discipline was more energy and a boost in his goal oriented endeavors. The funny thing about being celibate is that you attract more of the opposite sex because they can notice the energy or your aura.  This celibate time is so important so that you can focus all of you energies on personal development and attract everything that you want to yourself.On the contrary, being too celibate can be detrimental.  Remember the universe likes balance.  If you are at an age where a person would be fairly sexually active and you are celibate for many years then you could potentially face back lash. I know women that have had little to no sex in their lives and the result of this negligence has been the creation of dis-eases and pathologies for themselves. This is due to the extremely high amount of suppressed energy. We have to be realistic about one thing.  It is natural for everyone to want to engage in physical activity from the opposite sex.  Some form of physical touch is needed.  When you suppress this act for so long, eventually things start to find a way to express themselves and manifest into other outbursts within the body. It's like pressure bursting a pipe.  The pipe can only withstand but so much pressure before it explodes.Years of suppression can result in swollen prostates in men and several other urinary tract or sexual reproductive hindrances.  In women ailments such as endometriosis, infertility and ovarian cancer are commonplace as a result of “with-holding too long.” This is all because they waited for so long to release the built up stress.  Many times it's due to religious beliefs, career focus or holding out for the perfect individual that doesn't exist.  I am not advocating you break your beliefs.  But I am suggesting that you find a way to express your sexuality "within the confines of your belief or faith system."  So we see here that doing too much can get you in trouble and doing too little can do the same!Celibacy and sex transmutation is a powerful tool that when practiced correctly can change your life for the better.  Use it for what it's worth but don't abuse it! ----------------------------------------------------------------- **Related Products: Men's Complete Earth Plant Multi, Women's Full Arsenal Plant Multi   Powered By Nature Herbs (© All Rights Reserved 2020)
