"You who bring good tidings... lift your voice with a shout... do not be afraid... 'Here is your God!'" (Isa. 40:9)

Cinnamon and Honey

Posted on November 14th, 2009 in Uncategorized by Jonnie Wright

I cannot validate these remedies… but since I know God made both cinnamon and honey, it seems to me, with very little expense, I might try some of these methods. Let me know what works for you.

Cinnamon and Honey
Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. It will do what some call turning to sugar. In reality honey is always honey.. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I rather call “crystallizing”.   When this happens I loosen the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey container in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes in the honey.

Cinnamon and Honey
Bet the drug companies won’t like this one getting around.  Facts on Honey and Cinnamon:  It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a ‘Ram Ban’ (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases.  Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases.

Today’s science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients.   Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada , in its issue dated 17 January,1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:

HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack.
 Also, those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat.  In America and Canada , various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.

ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 200 people so treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.

BLADDER INFECTIONS:
Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder.

CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours.   As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.

UPSET STOMACH:
Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears stomach ulcers from the root.

GAS:
According to the studies done in India and Japan , it is revealed that if Honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.

IMMUNE SYSTEM:
Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of Honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight bacterial and viral diseases.

INDIGESTION:
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.

INFLUENZA:
A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural ‘ Ingredient’ which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu..

LONGEVITY:
Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of cinnamon powder, and three cups of water and boil to make like tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. Life spans also increase and even a 100 year old, starts performing the chores of a 20-year-old.

PIMPLES:
Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root.

SKIN INFECTIONS:
Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections.

WEIGHT LOSS:
Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast on an empty stomach, and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water. If taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.

CANCER:
Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month three times a day.

FATIGUE:
Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts, are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M. when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, increases the vitality of the body within a week.

BAD BREATH:
People of South America , first thing in the morning, gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water, so their breath stays fresh throughout the day.

HEARING LOSS:
Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts restores hearing. Remember when we were kids? We had toast with real butter and cinnamon sprinkled on it!

Where have all the heroes gone?

The Greatest American Hero

01/27/03

Fifty years from now it will not matter what kind of car you drove, what kind of house you lived in, how much you had in your bank account, or what your clothes looked like. But the world may be a little better because you were important in the life of a child. (Anonymous )

“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” (Matthew 6:21)

Heroes come in many different shapes and sizes. A hero is a person of great courage and dignity, who is admired for his daring and risky achievements. Most importantly, a hero is someone we respect and, perhaps, try to emulate.

I can still remember watching a T.V. program called “The Greatest American Hero.” It was about an ordinary man who was given a special suit which gave him superpowers. Unfortunately, he lost the instruction manual and, while he tried his best to use the suit for the good, he could never figure out how to successfully utilize the special powers.

Teaching & Learning to Pray

How To Teach People To Pray In A Small Group

Contributed by Scott Koenigsaecker

For many people, praying aloud can be threatening. Novices may feel so anxious that they will back out of the group. How do we enable people to move from the fear of praying aloud to enjoying God’s presence and others’ presence as they pray together? The following eight-week plan has proved effective:

Session One: As the leader, you open and close the meeting with prayer.

Session Two: Open in prayer. After the meeting, explain that you will close with a short time of thanks. Group members may offer a one-word prayer of thanks, or they may participate silently. Explain that people may pray as often as they wish, and times of silence are fine. You begin as follows: “Lord, we thank you for  . . . (our families).” Close after a reasonable amount of time.

International Study of Family Patterns in Depression, Anxiety, or Migraine - Seeking Participants
ImmuneSupport.com
07-20-2008
Researchers in a number of countries are collecting information from families - 2,400 adults and children of all ages, offering the opportunity to participate in lifetime tracking. Recruiting centers are located in the U.S., Canada, China, and Switzerland.According to the organizers of this NIH-funded international “Family Study of Affective and Anxiety Spectrum Disorders” – ClinicalTrials.gov # NCT00071786:

  • It will examine how depression, anxiety, and migraine run in families. It will help in defining the risk factors for physical, mental, and health problems - as well as define ways that those problems may be prevented and treated.
  • A broad range of ages among family members will be included to evaluate the patterns of how these disorders are expressed throughout people’s lives. Children of all ages will be included, and those ages 8 to 17 will be interviewed directly.
  • A member of the study team will visit the participants at home or will do an interview by telephone to collect information.
  • Participation will take approximately 3 to 4 hours.
  • Children will complete questionnaires given by the research team as well as questionnaires that they will do by themselves. The questions will pertain to the children’s health, including physical and mental health and medical history, social relationships, problems, skills, and ways of dealing with important or stressful issues in their lives. These questionnaires will take up to 1 hour to complete.
  • Health history gathered from adult participants will pertain to height, weight, exercise, and general function. Women will be asked about the use of oral contraceptives, estrogen, and progesterone. In addition, there will be questionnaires on personality and temperamental traits, that is, behavior and impulsiveness.
  • Questions will also involve social intuition, family and other environmental factors, general functioning, and basic demographics such as ethnicity, race, socioeconomic status, marital status, education level, and employment history.
  • Families enrolled in this phase of the research will be invited to participate in the next phase. There would be follow-up to evaluate the development of mood disorders, subtypes, and syndromes across the lifespan.

Recruiting Centers are located in the US, Canada, China, and Switzerland.

“Sit and Be Fit: Fibromyalgia Workout”

Posted on August 15th, 2008 in Fibromyalgia, Uncategorized by Jonnie Wright

“Sit and Be Fit: Fibromyalgia Workout”
Mary Ann Wilson, R.N.; $18.95 (2005)

–Reviewed by Monica Towers

Back to SchoolFun and effective, this specially-designed workout from the popular Sit and Be Fit™ series on PBS offers a sound physical fitness option for FM patients requiring a low-impact approach to exercise.

The 27-minute routine includes exercises for both upper and lower body, with an emphasis on improving range of motion and employing proper posture and breathing technique. While the routine is not intended as a cardiovascular workout, the succession of exercises is entirely capable of stimulating blood flow and heart rate.

Host Mary Ann Wilson, RN, uses a lightweight, 10-inch ball during the routine, but such a ball is not necessary to perform the exercises, as is demonstrated by the physical therapist who joins Wilson during the program to demonstrate modifications of each activity for viewers with different levels of function. Wilson adds another element of variety, and possible progression, to the workout by showing how to execute several of the exercises from a standing position.

Wilson is a knowledgeable host and her positive demeanor is inspiring; overall, the upbeat tone of the entire production makes this workout seem more like a treat than an “exercise routine.”

An Overview for the Newly Diagnosed Patient

Posted on July 1st, 2008 in Uncategorized by Jonnie Wright

Robert Bennett MD

(Doctor Bennett has been working with FMS patients for years. He is extremely knowledgeable in the field.)

Fibromyalgia (fi-bro-my-AL-ja) is a very common condition of widespread muscular pain and fatigue. Seven to ten million Americans suffer from fibromyalgia (FM). It affects women much more than men in an approximate ratio of 20:1. It is seen in all age groups from young children through old age, although in most patients the problem begins in their 20s or 30s. Recent studies have shown that fibromyalgia occurs worldwide and has no specific ethnic predisposition.

The Symptoms of Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia patients have widespread body pain which often seems to arise in the muscles. Some FM patients feel their pain originates in their joints. Pain that emanates from the joints is called arthritis; extensive studies have shown FM patients do not have arthritis. Although many fibromyalgia patients are aware of pain when they are resting, it is most noticeable when they use their muscles, particularly during repetitive activities. Their discomfort can be so severe it may significantly limit their ability to lead a full life. Patients can find themselves unable to work in their chosen professions and may have difficulty performing everyday tasks. As a consequence of muscle pain, many FM patients severely limit their activities including exercise routines. This results in their becoming physically unfit, which eventually makes their fibromyalgia symptoms worse.
