DCA and Baking Soda (with Maple Syrup or Molasses??) as possible cures for cancer?? Hmmm... #CabbageLeaves? #BakingSoda #Honey


Canadian Maple Syrup : )
And here's my latest discovery for you to try, too - 
Baking Soda and Honey! : )
Ooh, I just tried Toasted English Muffins with #MapleSyrup #Yum! #SoEasy! Give it a wee try! Usually, I have a Toasted English Muffin in a "McMuffin" egg and cheese sandwich, or with natural Honey, right? But then, I thought, hmm, would this Syrup be any good on mah' Toasted English Muffin? And it was! So delicious, and super-easy! Yum!

 You know this made me laugh! hahaha!

 Oh, man, what great memories, all the times taking a horse-drawn wagon through the Trees in the Spring, in Ontario,Canada, and then you end up at the Sugar shack, sit down for some delicious pancakes and fresh Maple Syrup - yum! So much fun! : )


 So, I've been spending the whole evening (okay, now it's night time - after midnight - I just finished reading a bunch of articles, some on the up and up, some slightly questionable, a couple highly questionable...so, here's what I was checking out - I watched a video earlier, this evening, about DCA, dichloroacetate (crap, I wrote it down, now canny read my own writing - hmmm!! Will go check it, make sure I have the spelling correct...).  Anyway, my good friend, Steve, posted the video on Facebook (Facebook is NOT my friend, right now, on account of a horrible thing that happened on it in the fall, and every time I go on it to make sure nothing horrible and disgusting hasn't happened - not really a good reason for going on stupi fb, but I've got sooo many contacts on fb, that it makes it difficult to just delete my fb account... will wait and see, but if that horrendous this - some grooooosss creep in the middle east attached my name to a gross picture - was THE worst thing to deal with...)

Anyway, I digress... has never happened to me, before... lol!  So when I was reading all these articles on DCA, which is a potential drug for curing cancer (or perhaps some sorts of cancers?  Didn't get enough information on that...), and is a very cheap drug, and an old drug that can't be patented, from what I gather, so that means, essentially, that big pharmacy would make very little profit on it, if they were to conduct the research and development necessary to bring it to market, expressly as a cure for cancer.  The research has been done at the University of Edmonton, in Alberta, Canada (Dr. Evangelos Michelakis), in Florida, and some other universities, but it looks like most, if not all, of the research has taken place in the universities.  Soo, a lot of money is required to continue the Research and Development for DCA, so I hope the Canadian government, or the US gov't, or ANY gov't, any very lovely philanthropist, any university or even the big pharmaceutical companies or other companies could open their wallets for more research... is interesting, to be sure.

But here's an interesting thing - while I was poking around online, I found a lot of information about the connection between baking soda and curing cancer.  Sounds like a bit of a stretch, but if you've read my site, www.buildyourownhouse.ca, you'll know my great love of baking soda! lol!  That stuff rocks!  You can use it for a million things - it's great!  But to cure cancer??  Who knows??  But I DO know that if, God Forbid,  were ever facing anything like that, I would try anything, I'm sure of it. I am a home remedy girl, always have been, believe that good health is a great preventative medicine (you know I love that Broccoli Soup!! lol!), along with a nice healthy body... it's all good, and then you look good, too!  lol!

So here's what I read about - I would be a bit reluctant to try this... hmmm, would have to really think about this, but apparently you can put about a 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in a big glass of water, 12 - 16 oz.  That's a lot of water.  And I guess you can add Maple Syrup (we're Canadian, so no shortage of Maple Syrup in our fridge, at any time of the year! hahaha!), or Molasses (I'd have to go buy this, since I never did get around to making Gingerbread Cookies for Christmas! lol!), but these products are very inexpensive, would be easy to add into your diet, should you be so inclined.  Apparently, the sugar in the molasses or maple syrup (I'm guessing you'd add that to some heated water, too, like a tea, I'm thinking) (or just have waffles or pancakes?? lol!) goes to the cancer, and the baking soda is going to go in and clean the cells??

Oh, and this might help with heartburn, too, or so they suggested... I've never had heartburn, but it sounds like it hurts, so I think I would give this a try, just in case it worked... but, again, research all of this before you take a big swig o' baking soda water!

Hmmm... if you're thinking of trying this, for Goodness Sake research this yourself, I'm just saying that I find this very interesting, and it seems relatively harmless to try, just in case it works on any level...  but I wonder if it would work for anything else??  I am endlessly surprised that we haven't found a full cure for a virus - seems crazy, in this day and age.  Unless we have, and I don't know about it, yet?  Let me know, if you've got secret information - unless everyone knows it, and I'm the last to know! lol! But would this work with a virus??  If it can target the baddie cells, cause them to remove themselves from your system?  Any chance this could be effective in weight loss??  Hahaha!  I always want to know THAT!! Maybe just drinking all that water would do the trick!! I drink tea all day - wonder if I should try this baking soda and water thing? I'm already having maple syrup in the mornings I can't resist joining my son in his daily waffles with maple syrup! lol!  (But, usually, I have me fave Raisin Bran, then have my fave porridge later in the day...pretty healthy : )

Okay, just wanted to put this out there... see what you think, see if you've tried it, if you know of any health risks from ingesting baking soda.... hmmm, will really think about this before I try it.  It's supposed to balance out your alkaline level, your ph Balance, I think (makes me think of my shampoo! lol!) - but I'm pretty sure our bodies are really good at self-regulating all our levels of everything that keeps us going... but, still, something to think about, right??

Oh, and remember to breathe deeply, whenever you think of it, not just when you're exercising or meditating - or when you're really mad, trying to calm yourself down! lol!  Seems like when you add more oxygen to your system, that's a good thing - well, you know you canny hurt yourself with bigger breaths! (makes me think of a terrible joke, but you're prolly already thinking of it, too! lol!)

So, just as a wee follow-up, I was doing some more research on drinking Baking Soda (a 1/4 tsp. in a very big glass of water - although, a lot of the research suggests it's okay to use a tsp per large glass of water - I would err on the side of caution, though - try it, first, see how your body reacts... but, I did read a pretty good article, that you might like to see, too... http://www.md-health.com/Drinking-Baking-Soda.html.  Is definitely worth looking in to, and I see that drinking a glass of water with a little baking soda is a good cure for the common cold, and perhaps the flu, too?  I think I would try that... and a good way to improve performance in elite athletes?  I've never heard that, before... interesting, right?  Hmmm... food, and drink, for thought : )

CABBAGE LEAF Cure? Maaybe... : )

What about Cabbage Leaves? If you, God Forbid, had any sort of tumor on the outside of your body, wouldn't it be worth a shot to put a cabbage leaf over it, see if it would shrink the tumor, at all? It works for Nursing Mothers - is amazing how quickly and effectively a Cabbage Leaf works to remove a lump, from milk build up - sometimes that happens when you're nursing, and I think it happened to me after I had weaned my second baby... can't really remember the time frame, now, but I do remember the lump, how painful it was, and applying the cabbage leaf, BAM! All gone - like a little miracle cure, right there, and it just occurred to me, just now, what if that Cabbage Leaf Cure were to extend itself to other things, like a tumor? Worth a try, for sure : )

SO, I was just thinking, could Cabbage Leaves draw out any impurities in your body? Maybe?

What about fat cells? Could Cabbage Leaves Shrink Fat Cells? Why not, right, if it works the same way... anyone feel like doing a little experimenting? You KNOW I'm'a gonna try it - and then have a nice salad with the rest of the cabbage and turnip? haha!







And what about Turnips?? lol! 
And then, when I think of Cabbage, I think of my Mother, and how much she loooves cabbage and turnip - all cooked, but I like them much better, raw... especially Raw Turnip - in little strips, or chunks - is surprisingly yummy - worth a try, for sure, if you've never tried it! So, of course, I immediately Googled, Health Benefits of Turnip, and wouldn't you know it, there's Cabbage, right there, too! lol! I was super-surprised to read about the health benefits of the turnip leaves, though - I'd never even heard that they were edible, sooo... you know, whatever you think will add health benefits to your life, is inexpensive, won't interact negatively with any medications - your pharmacist can tell you that, too, but I would think most fruits and veggies are safe enough... but you remember that whole thing with Grapefruit, which I looove... so, you know your body, best.... To Your Very Best Health! : )


  Look who else loves Turnips?? Michelle Obama! Thanks, First Lady Michelle Obama!! You're the best!! 

 Turnip for What?? haha! I loove these pics! Haha! Get on the Veggie Train to Healthsville? hahaha! Makes me laugh! (And healthy! lol!) 


Fighting cancer from http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/284815.php

Since the 1980s, consuming high amounts of cruciferous vegetables like turnips, cauliflower and cabbage have been associated with a lower risk of cancer. More recently, researchers have been able to pinpoint that the sulforaphane compound that gives cruciferous vegetables their bitter bite is also what gives them their cancer-fighting power.
Promising results in studies testing sulforaphane's ability to delay or impede cancer have been seen with multiple types of cancers including melanoma, esophageal, prostate and pancreatic. Sulforaphane-containing foods could potentially be an integral part of cancer treatment in the future.1

I loove Louise Hay, and firmly believe in affirmations, and have been doing Louise's affirmations for just over a year, now, and love, love, love them. Louise Hay changed my life, and she can change yours, to. There's tremendous healing power in prayer and affirmations, sending healing thoughts and healing light, through your body, and sending it to others, too. try it all - it's all worth a try, right? : )

To Healthy Living! 

Look for Louise L. Hays, You Can Heal Your Life - brilliant - you'll love it - and you CAN heal your life! I think you could also look for You Can Heal Your Body - pretty sure that's in there, too - but it's all about healing yourself, mind, body and spirit - a good approach to wellness : )

Cold, Flu and Headache Remedies that You'll Really Like - and they work, too! : ) #Soup #Drinks! #HotToddy #GetWellSoon #ColdRemedy #BakingSoda #Arthritis





Home Remedies: Miraculous Cold, Flu and Headache Remedies : ) 
You'll be feelin' better in no time! (AND, you might like to have these year round, they're so yummy!)

You know what? I would try this Baking Soda Cure for Arthritis, too - that makes sense to me, maybe even for anything that ails ye', you know? 

Experiment a  little, as long as you don't have any drug interference, and remember, never give Aspirin to anyone under 25, use Tylenol or any other safe pain reliever : )



Okay, here's my favorite new-to-me Cold Remedy, and is a very good cure for a Sore Throat, Headache, or the Flu (maybe that's just the combo of those first three? lol!)

Ingredients:

1 - 3 Aspirin (unless you're under 25, then Acetaminophen - Tylenol)

1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda - maybe more - see how sick you're feeling...

1/3 cup Lemon Juice - or as much as you like : )

1 - 2 Tbsp Honey (I just pour some in - and, you use less sugar when you also use honey!)

1-4 Tbsp Sugar (again, to taste)

And if I had some Bitters, I would totally add some Bitters!) 

Boiling Water 

Directions:

Put the Aspirin and Baking Soda in a cup, add a little water to dissolve, add the Lemon Juice - it'll fizz right up, is all very exciting, so maybe the kids would like to watch? haha! 

Add Boiling water, then the honey and sugar - you can just do either, or both, to taste : )

I have a little sip of the Cold Remedy, then some Tea, then a sip of water... and that's my 'See You Later Plate', for more Apple Crumble, which I may or may not (okay, I am, and totally) addicted to - haha! But, in my defense, is deeelishush, and very good for you, so, well... anyway, try it, you'll see what I mean! lol!)



And here's my fave Apple Crumble, in case you want to try it, now, too! And it's great for Weight Loss, too - that's what I initially developed it for - yum! I always have an Apple Crumble in the fridge! 




Mr. Noodles Ramon Noodles with Chicken OXO, Parsley and one sliced Green Onion - Yum!  and you'll be better in no time!






Cure for the Common Cold: Okay, you got me - it's a Drink! hahaha! 

  Yum!! I mean, Oh, this will fo' sho' make me feel better! One way, or another! Hahaha! 


I would try this with any cold or flu... anytime I was sick, or perhaps any evening... :) !!

1 oz. Bourbon -- I didn't have Bourbon in my vast 1970's Bar (there it is, again, with the 70's references!), so I used Whiskey, instead... Glenfiddich Scotch Whiskey...

8 dashes of Bitters (really, I lost count...! haha!) -- the Bitters has 47% alcohol! WooHoo! You're feelin' better, already! lol!
Honey to taste -- about a tablespoon or two...really, I just pour it in.. : >

Club Soda -- again, me no have no Club Sody, so I used 7Up, instead... and now I like Sierra Mist

And then I accidentally added in some 45 Proof Spiced Rum... and see, me all better, today!! Taa Daa!! (Picture me in a Gymnast Pose, right after not falling offa da horse thing! haha!)

Initially, stupidly, I made my fancy new Cold Remedy in a glass, but then, quel suprise, the honey wouldn't stir in -- I am far too used to throwing ice in a glass and addin' in da Fun! So, best to make thins in a microwavable cup... see how much you learn, today?? haha! I heated it for about 50 seconds... you want it to be like the temperature of tea or coffee... and then I liked it better with a 'Tea Chaser'... a little too strong to be fun to drink, but it really did work! (Plus, I am a Tea Jenny, so really, I have Tea with everything...!)

And here's my modification to my favorite drink... errrr, I mean, CURE for a horrible cold, or slightly scratchy sore throat, or some time in the evening, any night at all.. ;) lol!

Cure for the Common Cold: I would try this with any cold or flu... anytime I was sick, or perhaps any evening... :) !!

1 oz. Bourbon -- I didn't have Bourbon in my vast 1970's Bar (there it is, again, with the 70's references!), so I used Whiskey, instead... Glenfiddich Scotch Whiskey...

(New -- now I am all out of Whiskey and Bourbon, so tonight I tried the Hennessy, and it was deeelicious... hope it still works! haha!) (Who cares?? Now it's just a great drink!)

8 dashes of Bitters (really, I lost count...! haha!) -- the Bitters has 47% alcohol! WooHoo! You're feelin' better, already! lol!
(Who knows how many dashes of Bitters I'm putting in, now -- I feel like the Bitters are the magical ingredient... I'm pourin' the stuff in! hahaha!)

Honey to taste -- about a teaspoon or two...
(2 teaspoons of honey... must remember to Buy More Honey!)

Club Soda -- again, me no have no Club Sody, so I used 7Up, instead...
(Yes, I used the 7Up until that was all gone, and now I see that any lemony fizzy pop/soda will do...! )

And then I accidentally added in some 45 Proof Spiced Rum... and see, me all better, today!! Taa Daa!! (Picture me in a Gymnast Pose, right after not falling offa da horse thing! haha!)
(Turns out, this particular Spiced Rum -- Sailor Jerry -- is 92 Proof... sooo, I think we can all see how this quickly became my new favorite Drink -- I mean, CURE!! hahaha!)

Initially, stupidly, I made my fancy new Cold Remedy in a glass, but then, quel suprise, the honey wouldn't stir in -- I am far too used to throwing ice in a glass and addin' in da Fun! So, best to make thins in a microwavable cup... see how much you learn, today?? haha! I heated it for about 50 seconds... you want it to be like the temperature of tea or coffee... and then I liked it better with a 'Tea Chaser'... a little too strong to be fun to drink, but it really did work! (Plus, I am a Tea Jenny, so really, I have Tea with everything...!)

(Okay, this works waaay better: Mix all da alcohol together ( I forget and put in the honey, first), but be as smart as you wanna be with the whole Big Decision on when you put the honey in... but heat this tiny amount in your mug for 25 seconds in the microwave, and then take it out and pour in the 7Up or other lemony fizzy drink... deeelicious, and I have a feeling da bubbles do something special, which reminds me of an old joke about blowing Bubbles in the park, but I shouldn't talk about Bubbles without his permission... hahahaha!)

(This next one is a Great Immune Booster, so I would have it any time you were feeling 'under the weather' or whenever you had to recuperate from something... and tastes pretty good, too -- just add enough Honey and Lemon to suit your own taste buds!)

Lemon, Honey 'N Onion Drink

2 to 3 Onions, peeled and cut in Fourths

One Big Pot of Water

Boil the Onions for 1 to 3 hours to create the 'Onion Juice'.

Strain and put in a Jug in the Fridge. (I always cover it with Saran Wrap so it won't 'smell'...)

Per Cup: Pour 3/4 of your cup (any cup...) full of the Onion Juice

Pop in the Microwave for 2 Minutes on High.

Add 2 tsp of Honey. Stir well. (Admittedly, I think I use closer to 2 Tablespoons of Honey, which I realize now is the reason I didn't lose any weight while I was sick... much to my great disappointment! That's the only possible upside to getting sick -- you feel like you outta drop 20 pounds, just because you never feel like eating! lol!)

Add Lemon Juice to Taste (like you would add milk to coffee...)

My Daughter, Cara likes it (or will drink it if she's really sick!) when it has Orange Tablets in it, so I dissolve 2 or 3 Vitamin C Tablets into her cup. This is more palatable for children of all ages -- adults included!

Chicken 'n Onion Soup in a Cup

Use the Same Base for the Onion Juice.
Heat up 1 Cup of the Onion Juice. (About 1 - 2 minutes in the Microwave)
Add 1 Tablespoon Chicken OXO (or 1 package, if you aren't shopping at Costco and buying everything in Giant Containers, yet!)
(If you're in a big hurry, just cut up the Green Onion and put it in a Cup with Boiling Water and 1 Tablespoon on Chicken OXO.)
Chop up 1 Green Onion and put it all in the Cup of Onion Juice. Stir well and enjoy!

I first came across the Base of this recipe...guess where...that's right, on The View! Barabara Walters had a scratchy throat (not good in T.V. Journalism!) and shared her recipe from a friend who happens to be an Opera Star (!) for the Onion and Honey Drink. I was pregnant at the time, had a cold and didn't want to take any medicine, so I tried it and it was horrible! I just couldn't drink it, so I added more Honey and some Lemon Juice, and Voila, it's not only palatable, it tastes good!

I always drink it with a 'Water Chaser' -- a great big glass of cold water so the Lemon Juice doesn't dry out your throat.

Oh, I thought I would be 'pro-active' with this remedy, so I chopped all sorts of Onions up and put them in a big bag in the Freezer. Well, I won't do that, again, because they smelled awful, and the smell spread to other things in the freezer. Now I just leave the onions in a paper bag in the cupboard. No smell, much better!

I woke up, a while back, with a really sore throat, so I immediately made my Onion Drink -- that stuff is a miracle in a cup! I feel better, already, and I've only had one cup. Dwight hates the smell of the Onion Juice 'simmering', so I quickly took out the Onion Juice (I strain it into a giant Bowl with an equally giant sieve!), then covered the container with plastic wrap and popped it in the fridge. Luckily, I was already planning to make Turkey Soup, today, so I replaced the onions into the Big Soup Pot and added all the 'Turkey Parts' -- you know the parts(!), and some spices, so he'll never be any the wiser! ha,ha! And I'll get better!

I'm gonna have to go make a whole new page for the Onion, Honey 'N Lemon Drink, so you won't hurt your wrist scrolling down to find it! ha,ha! I'll get right on that!

Green Onion and Chicken Raman... everyone likes this, and it's Fast 'n Easy...

Boil water for Raman (Mr. Noodles... whatever it might be called at your grocers!)
Break noodles and pour in water
Add 2 chopped Green Onions -- cook in microwave for 3 minutes, add 1 tsp. of Chicken OXO (Chicken Flavoring)
If you really, really want to get better, add 2 more chopped Green Onions... and I like a wee bit o' Parsley with it, too :) Enjoy and Get Well!

Everybody loooves Chicken Noodle Soup when they're feeling down, and this is one of my favorites!

Wiggly Chicken Noodle Soup - yum, this looks soo good - think I'll make this, today! 

I like to call this my 'Green and White Chicken Noodle Soup' -- it's very pretty, for a Soup!
So this is my favorite new Chicken Noodle Soup, and I wish I'd thought of this years ago, so I thought I'd tell my lovely Readers about it, so you can add it to your Favorites List! The Kids love it, too!

Wiggly Chicken Noodle Soup (for full directions, go to Chicken Noodle Soup... yet another page in my site!)
Fill a big soup pot half full of cold water, bring to a boil...
1/2 Package of Tortiglioni Noodles (the curly ones!) (or Egg Noodles, or break linguine, fettucine or spaghetti noodles in 1" bits before cooking...)
4 Heaping Tablespoons of Chicken OXO
6 Tablespoons of Dried Parsley Flakes or a Bunch of Fresh Parsley, Chopped
Celery Stalk (whole thing), Diced
1 Onion, Diced
4 - 6 Green Onions, chopped

Stay Healthy! Ailsa! : )
