D -A friend of mine says she just gave turmeric to her teenage daughter, and in 3 days her acne disappeared! She’s says to get the one with black pepper,

and make sure you eat it with fat. But I read you must take with vitamin D3, so don’t know the answer to that!

So they gave it to another teenage guy friend of hers, and same thing happened!

Here’s a story from the NET -http://freefromacne.com/turmeric-acne/

My Experience With Turmeric for Acne Troubles

It is one thing to have a not so healthy skin, but entirely another to have acne problems.

We are so conscious of our skin that we treat skin problems as a burden or a sin; hiding away somewhere while it lasts. Even a small zit seems to threat to our personality and looks. From expensive dermatologists to Ayurvedic treatment, every type of remedy is desperately sought by men and women alike as soon as acne hits the stage.

Though there are many topical and oral medicines that help you get rid of acne, but here we are about to disclose about a natural herbal remedy that not only removes acne but also prevents it from attacking again.

Yes, you heard it right.

Let me tell you about the turmeric acne relief. It is an inexpensive, easy to use and highly effective ingredient that can save the day, just when you are about to lose hope.

Turmeric is an amazing gift of nature; it is the root of a plant named Curcumin Longa that has antibacterial qualities. This Curcumin ingredient contains antiseptic, pain killer, anti-inflammatory qualities. But that’s not all…

All over the world, dermatologists and beauticians are starting to realize and further investigate the astonishing benefits of turmeric for skin and body.

Here are a few benefits that might interest a person suffering from any type of acne:

1) Worried about pigmentation?

A little turmeric added with either cucumber or lemon extract can work wonders for you. Not only can the application of it on face reduce pigmentation but it can also even out the skin discoloration.

2) Giving up on acne solutions?

Mix a little turmeric with sandalwood powder and plain water. This harmless paste does not have any side effects, even in prolonged use.

3) Need to Exfoliate?

Using turmeric powder to make a scrub mixed with gram flour is a great way to exfoliate and dry out mild acne. Face masks made from turmeric have skin softening and glowing affects.

4) Need first aid at home?

Turmeric mixed with Aloe gel, can instantly sooth a burn. The anti- oxidant qualities in this ingredient can help fight off mild skin abrasion and rashes.

5) Feeling exhausted?

Turmeric mixed in hot milk can not only help you fight fatigue, but it is also a great remedy for throat infections.

6) Want to learn about an ultimate health booster?

Turmeric when combined with honey is ideal to counter anemia. These two amazing ingredients work together to restore body energy and increases the infection fighting stamina.

These are only a few of the numerous benefits of turmeric. One simply cannot leave the topic without mentioning the amazing benefits of turmeric tea. Tea with turmeric, either fresh brewed or out of a dried tea pack, can leave long lasting impacts on a person’s health and the skin.

Here are a few of its amazing effects:

• It helps in the fading of acne scars.
• It helps to cleanses and detoxifies the blood, thus leaving the skin fresh and healthy.

Bee pollen benefits anyone who consumes it.

http://www.naturalmedicine.com/herbal-promise/healthy-eating/bee-pollen-benefits/

As an alkaline food, bee pollen benefits and balances the overall PH of your body. People agree that the bee pollen nutritional profile is one of the most complete in the world. I use it as an alternative to a multivitamin. Here’s a list of all the bee pollen vitamins and other nutrients:

~25% to 40% vegetarian complete protein (in pre-digested, free amino acid form)

~A variety of fatty acids (70% is the omega 3 ALA, 3-4% is the Omega 6 LA and 16-17% is monounsaturated and saturated fat)

~Simple carbohydrates (many of the same sugars that are found in honey.)

~All the Beeee vitamins (including biotin, folic acid, choline and inositol but not a usable form of B12)

~Vitamin C

~Vitamin D (which is rare for plant foods to contain)

~Vitamin E

~Vitamin K

~Up to 60 major and minor minerals (including some rare elements like gold in amounts as high as 0.9 parts per million depending on the type of flower pollen used.)

~Nucleic acids such as RNA and DNA (a component found in the diets of many centenarians.)

~Steroidal and hormonal substances (natural plant sources of these are safe and beneficial)

~15% lecithin (which lowers cholesterol as well being food the brain.)

~High on the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) scale due to a wide array of antioxidants (it is scored at 164, while blueberries for example are a 61)

~Rutin (a key antioxidant for strengthening the walls of the vascular system, also helps stabilize vitamin C)

~Carotenoids such as xanthophyll and alpha/beta carotenes (the more antioxidant carotenoids a mammal gets, the longer it can live.)

~At least 11 major enzymes (which are necessary for digestion. Bee pollen benefits and complements a live food diet since the extra enzymes have an anti-aging effect on the cells of the body.)

~Over 5000 minor enzymes and coenzymes (this is the most enzyme rich product on Earth!)

~1-3% of pollen is made up of unidentified “mysterious” compounds… quite likely Ormus minerals which is what makes this food so incredibly valuable and magical!

Athlete’s aren’t the only ones who get amazing benefits of taking bee pollen granules. It has been found that bee pollen benefits the following medical conditions and has been used by a variety of health professionals to successfully treat them:

~Acne
~Allergies
~Anemia
~Asthma
~Bronchitis
~Constipation
~Colitis
~Obesity
~Relief of type 2 diabetes symptoms
~Sinusitis
~Wrinkles (due to the whole body anti-aging effect)

Each bee pollen pellet, contains over two million flower pollen grains and one teaspoonful contains over 2.5 billion grains of flower pollen.

Complete Nutrition

Bee pollen contains all the essential components of life. The percentage of rejuvenating elements in bee pollen remarkably exceeds those present in brewer’s yeast and wheat germ. Bee pollen corrects the deficient or unbalanced nutrition, common in the customs of our present-day civilization of consuming incomplete foods, often with added chemical ingredients, which expose us to physiological problems as various as they are numerous.

Pollen is considered an energy and nutritive tonic in Chinese medicine. Cultures throughout the world use it in a surprising number of applications: for improving endurance and vitality, extending longevity, aiding recovery from chronic illness, adding weight during convalescence, reducing cravings and addictions, regulating the intestines, building new blood, preventing infectious diseases such as the cold and flue (it has antibiotic type properties), and helping overcome retardation and other developmental problems in children. It is thought to protect against radiation and to have anti-cancer qualities.

Nutrient deficiencies and all the health problems they cause are recognized worldwide as a growing problem. Because bee pollen contains all the nutrients needed to sustain life, it is being used on an ever larger scale for human nourishment and health. Science teaches that bee pollen contains many substances that combine to make it a healthy, nutritious, complete food. There are numerous reports from medical experience that conclusively show the benefits of bee pollen exceed that of a simple food item. And the bees do most of the work.

Bee-gathered pollens are rich in proteins, free amino acids, vitamins, including B-complex, and folic acid.

According to researchers at the Institute of Apiculture, Taranov, Russia, “Honeybee pollen is the richest source of vitamins found in Nature in a single food. Even if bee pollen had none of its other vital ingredients, its content of rutin alone would justify taking at least a teaspoon daily, if for no other reason than strengthening the capillaries. Pollen is extremely rich in rutin and may have the highest content of any source, plus it provides a high content of the nucleics RNA [ribonucleic acid] and DNA [deoxyribonucleic acid].”

Bee pollen is a complete food and contains many elements that products of animal origin do not possess. Bee pollen is more rich in proteins than any animal source. It contains more amino acids than beef, eggs, or cheese of equal weight. Bee pollen is particularly concentrated in all elements necessary for life.

Medical Miracles

Researchers have demonstrated that there is a substance in bee pollen that inhibits the development of numerous harmful bacteria. Experiments have shown bee pollen contains an antibiotic factor effective against salmonella and some strains of bacteria. On the clinical level, studies have shown that a regulatory effect on intestinal function can be attributed to bee pollen. The presence of a high proportion of cellulose and fiber in pollen, as well as the existence of antibiotic factors, all contribute to an explanation for this efficacious effect.

Working with lab animals has demonstrated that the ingestion of bee pollen has a good effect on the composition of blood. A considerable and simultaneous increase of both white and red blood cells is observed. When bee pollen is given to anemic patients, their levels of hemoglobin [oxygen-carrying red blood cells] increase considerably.

It is reported that bee pollen in the diet acts to normalize cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood: Upon the regular ingestion of bee pollen, a reduction of cholesterol and triglycerides was observed. High-density lipoproteins (HDL) increased, while low-density lipoproteins (LDL) decreased. A normalization of blood serum cholesterol levels is also seen..

…

Bee Products Also Treats Allergies!

Pollen is also a remedy for hay fever and allergies. However it must be taken at least six weeks before the season begins and then continued throughout the season if it going to work.

Bee pollen has been effectively used down through the ages to rid allergy sufferers of their afflictions. This technique, called desensitization, was developed at St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School in London soon after the turn of the centuries…

…

How to Use Bee Pollen

Each golden granule is densely packed with active enzymes, just about every nutrient that has a name, and some elements that science has not yet identified or labeled. Your digestive system may not be accustomed to such intensely rich food. If you are a beginner, introduce bee pollen into your diet slowly, a granule or two at a time. Don’t cook with the granules or add powdered granules to anything that requires heat. Heat destroys the active enzymes and reduces the nutrient value. Otherwise, the sky’s the limit.

You can: Powder an ounce or two of granules and add cinnamon to taste. Cinnamon adds a delightful spiciness and aroma to the sweetness of pollen Stir powdered granules into vegetable juices, or even into water sweetened with raw honey. Whirl the powder into salad dressings. Sprinkle whole or powdered granules on toast topped with peanut butter.

Before taking a full dose of pollen it is very important to test for a possible extreme allergic reaction by ingesting just one pellet. Then gradually build up over a week or so to the correct dose.

The optimal dose of pollen varies with individual needs. For allergy prevention all that is required is about one teaspoon per day. You should gradually increase your dose to one tablespoon. It will give about five grams of protein which is a good addition if you already have some proteins in your meal, such as a legume dish.

Since your pollen is really a type of food and there are some fats in it. It is important to keep it refrigerated.
