Chrysanthemum Cancer Cure

September 3, 2011

The medicinal part of the chrysanthemum is the flower. The flowers are usually picked from the plants and allowed to dry – not in the sun, but in the shade – before use, and are used raw. The flowers contain a volatile oil made of a variety of amino acids and other substances, including borneol, camphor, adenine, and small amounts of vitamin B1.

This commonly grown flower has shown “antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, immunodulatory, and neuroprotective effects,” according to the Chinese researsinusitisch which found some success in treating certain types of cancer using this extract along with other traditional Chinese medicines.
The research team, led by Prof. Zong-fang Li from the Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Xi’an Jiaotong University, investigated the effects of Chrysanthemum indicum extract (CIE) on inhibition of proliferation and on apoptosis, and the underlying mechanisms, in a human cell line.
CIE interferes with the growth cycles of malignant cells, ending the rapid spread of the cancer cells in the body. The extract reprograms cells to die instead of grow by rewriting their mitochondrial code. When given enough time to spread from cell to cell, CIE destroys the cancer completely. CIE does all of this without harming healthy human cells. In fact, it had no effect on healthy cells surrounding cancer cells, leading scientists to conclude that CIE could become a very promising future treatment for cancer.CIE has shown a strong amount of anticancer activity in studies focused on liver cancer, metastatic breast cancer, and esophageal carcinoma.
Chrysanthemum extract works against malignant cells and stops the spread of those cancerous cells in the body. It is able to do this without harming healthy tissue in the body and therefore holds out great promise for the future.
In addition to its fever fighting properties, the chrysanthemum flower can be a benefit to your vision. Chrysanthemum known to help improve eyesight and help to soothe tired eyes. There are also some people who swear by its ability to improve deafness. Chrysanthemum overall good for the senses.

The liver is such an important organ in the body because it detoxifies it. When your liver is functioning the way it should, you will enjoy more energy and even find yourself losing excess weight.
Chrysanthemum tea is famous for its cooling properties, which help to decrease the body heat and is recommended for people who are suffering from fever, sore throat and heat related ailments. Chrysanthemum is effective in reducing sinusitis pains and headache due to colds. This is because chrysanthemum is a rich source of vitamin C.

Will your formulas work for me?

My wrapping formulas are different from any of the other body wraps that are currently on the market and do not contain a whole lot of filler ingredients. Only the beneficial ingredients are required, which means a formula may contain only 3 to 4 ingredients. You will be amazed at the results that you will received from these body wraps even if you have tried numerous other wraps with little or no results.
The formula’s will work as long as there is adequate absorption and circulation from the skin.

The techniques and information will also help with cellulite, water retention, blemishes, skin tone, and more…

Why do Your Formulas Work?

My body wrap formulas release fat out of the body’s cells into the lymphatic system. The fat is then carried out of the body naturally through normal elimination. The fat is PERMANENTLY eliminated!

Is a body wrap a compression or sauna-like water loss treatment?

No, inch loss is not due to temporary compression or water loss. These special formula detaches fat lipids from the cell walls for natural elimination through the lymphatic system, thereby producing PERMANENT fat loss.

If you have problems in only a few areas you can wrap the problem spots to make them slimmer and to shrink fat and lose inches. It is recommended that your first wrap is a full body wrap.

How Much Weight Will I Lose?

A body wrap was designed to take off inches rather than pounds. However if you use the techniques in the bonus report you could lose weight!
By Danielle Simm

Super healthy skin come through healthy eating and taking care of your skin. With new research, new products and new skin protection advice popping up all the time, it is hard to figure out the best things to do to improve and protect your skin. A skin care program is the combination of skin care products and a routine that will be most beneficial to the skin. You will first need to consider your diet and type of life-style since these two factors play an important role in the health of a person’s skin.

These days we seem to be living in the fast-food age and the condition of your skin is often neglected. You still can’t beat the old fruit and vegetable diet when it comes to good health and a good complexion.
Remember to feed and nourish your skin by eating the proper foods. Give your skin a drink too. Those eight glasses of water a day your mom always told you to be sure to drink are essential to maintaining your skin’s elasticity and suppleness, say experts. And don’t count coffee or any of the caffeinated sodas as part of the eight glasses because caffeine is dehydrating. The water you choose can be sparkling water, mineral or straight from the tap. Another suggestion is that you keep a liter-size bottle close at hand, or simply drink a glass or two with your meals, and a few in between.

You need to give some thought and consideration to the type of makeup you use. And be sure to clean your tools regularly. Things such as cosmetic brushes get dirty and can carry bacteria and germs and may cause skin irritations and breaking out. One of the leading cosmetic authorities suggests that cosmetic brushes be thoroughly cleaned at least twice a month. A good way is to soak brushes for about 10 minutes in a dish of warm, soapy water using mild liquid detergent or baby shampoo. Rinse and blot excess moisture with a towel and stand the brushes, handle end down, in a tall glass until they are thoroughly dry.
Keep environmental pollutants from being absorbed into the skin with a good moisturizer that also acts as a skin barrier. Check the labels for those with added Vitamin A, C and E, which help block the penetration of pollutants.

A good exercise program such as aerobics can activate and rejuvenate the skin and improve circulation and blood flow. Also, body sweat triggers production of sebum, which is the skin’s own natural moisturizer.
One skin care expert has come up with a do-it-yourself version of a treatment you may like to try. Stir the juice of half a lemon into one cup of plain yogurt. Keep it in the refrigerator and apply it as you would a cream every night before bed. You can even apply a thin coat of moisturizer over it is you like, after waiting about five minutes for the yogurt mixture to penetrate. With consistent use, you should see more even pigmentation and smoother skin in three to four weeks.

Get serious about stress reduction. Skin conditions such as acne appear on many people who are stressed out, and chronic skin conditions then to get worse. Set aside quiet time to meditate or daydream. Be sure to get enough sleep. To avoid morning eye or facial puffiness, sleep on your back so fluid doesn’t collect there. And, you can keep the oil from your hair away from your face by wearing a head covering or a soft headband when you go to bed. And keep in mind that too much stress can affect your overall health as well as your complexion.

Miracle Whip Exfoliator
(By Victoria, Anti-aging Beauty Tips)
“Yes, I am talking about the same Miracle Whip your Aunt Mable uses in her macaroni salad. Apparently, women all over the US are using this salad dressing ingredient on their faces to remove dead flaky skin.
I have not tried it myself, but supposedly, KRAFT MIRACLE WHIP Exfoliating Facial makes an amazing treatment for normalizing over-oily skin.
Here is how you apply this “miracle cream”:
Make sure all your hair is pulled back from your face. Apply a thin layer of the KMW all over your face, up to the eyelashes and make sure to also put some on your neck. The “fumes” from the vinegar may bother you so walk around the house to try to escape them. LOL!
Leave on for 10 minutes, then massage gently. The dead skin cells on your face will roll off in rubbery little balls. Rinse your skin with tepid water, then cleanse as usual following your regular beauty regime. If you apply the KMW every day, in 6-8 weeks your skin should be completely renewed.
I cannot help but wonder if this Miracle Whip eats away at the dead skin cells on your face, what does it do to the inside of the body when someone eats it?? Pretty scary!!! One person believes that the vinegar in the Miracle Whip is what causes the exfoliation and rejuvenation. If that is true, why not try a mixture of organic apple cider vinegar with some olive oil, apply that and see what happens? One could whip together the olive oil and apple cider vinegar, apply it to their face and then use the leftovers on their salad!
I think I will start experimenting with some ingredients and try to come up with a facial recipe to rival the KRAFT MIRACLE WHIP!”

Special Note from Lucie (site owner):
“After reading Victoria’s email about the Miracle Whip beauty trick (the above is an excerpt from that email), I bought a small jar of Miracle Whip. I applied a slighter thicker layer than was recommended and the vinegar smell was unpleasantly strong.
After a minute or two, the Miracle Whip ‘melted’ and my face was very shiny and oily (yuck!). After 10 minutes, I washed the Whip away and I couldn’t believe the results. All the flaky dry skin was gone and my skin felt tight and smooth. Very strange!”
