Health Benefits of Cayenne Pepper

I was talking with one of my long-standing clients and he reminded me of the health benefits of cayenne pepper. He uses this ingredient to help him with both digestive and cardiovascular health concerns.

And he believes that cayenne pepper has been a key ingredient for a long and healthy life.

He is not the only person who believe in the health benefits of cayenne pepper. Many consider this herb to be the “King of Medicinal Herbs.” For example:

“If you master only one herb in your life, master cayenne pepper. It is more powerful than any other.” – Dr. Schulze

“Cayenne pepper – prized for thousands of years for its healing power. Folklore from around the world recounts amazing results using cayenne pepper in simple healing and in baffling health problems. But cayenne pepper is not just a healer from ancient history. Recent clinical studies have been conducted on many of the old-time health applications for this miracle herb. Again and again, the therapeutic value of cayenne pepper has been medically validated.” – Dr. Patrick Quillin from The Healing Power of Cayenne Pepper.

Of these two quotes. Dr. Patrick Quillin is the more recognizable name. Dr. Quillin served from 1990 to 2000 as the Vice President of Nutrition for Cancer Treatment Centers of America. His 15 books have sold over 1 million copies and include the best sellers Healing Nutrients and Beating Cancer with Nutrition.

Before we look at the 5 key health benefit of cayenne pepper, it’s important to note its nutritional value. One tablespoon or 5 grams contains the following:

44% of the RDI for Vitamin A

8% of the RDI for Vitamin E

7% of the RDI for Vitamin C

6% of the RDI for Vitamin B6

5% of the RDI for Vitamin K

5% of the RDI for Manganese

3% of the RDI for Potassium

3% of the RDI for Riboflavin

And the active ingredient that gives cayenne pepper its potency as a medicinal herb is capsaicin. This ingredient also gives this herb its hot taste. The higher the amount of capsaicin, the hotter the taste.

Which is one of the reasons why people do not use cayenne pepper as part of their daily food intake. However, there are ways around this. But before we discuss this, let’s look at the following health benefits of cayenne peppers: Read More →

Improving Brain Function – Part Two

Posted by Dan Hammer //
 08/08/2020
Improved Brain Function

In part one of improving brain function we looked at the importance of your endothelium and its ability to create nitric oxide. In part two we are going to look at nootropic compounds for improving brain function.

Nootropics are plant-based nutrients that enhance cognition while at the same time help to facilitate learning.

They are not used to protect against brain aging.

Rather, they are used to improve brain processing speed, learning, and memory. And can be used for all ages of people. Not just older adults.

These nootropic compound help to improve brain cell efficiencies, which then boost cognitive function in the form of memory.

For older adults, the ability to process and store new information declines with age. Nootropic compounds improve the brain’s ability to learn and retain this new information. And there are several key nootropics that have show promising results:

Bacopa monnieri – This is a flowering herb that has long been used to improve memory. In recent human clinical trials, a standardized extract of Bacopa has been shown to improve the following cognitive functions:

  • Power and speed of attention

  • Speed of visual processing

  • Verbal learning speed

  • Formation of new memories

  • Recall of memories

The amount used in this study was 300 mg of Bacopa monnieri. And the results were seen after the 12 week study was concluded.

In animal studies, the use of standardized Bacopa extract improved brain function by stimulating the growth of neuron connections in two key areas of the brain. The hippocampus and amygdala sections of the brain.

The hippocampus is key for the proper formation of new memories. And in these animal studies the following was observed: Read More →

Reduce Nighttime Urination

Reduce Nighttime Urination

There is medical term called Nocturia. Sounds like it could be a villain from either the Marvel or DC Universe. Unfortunately, it’s a villain for many men who want to reduce nighttime urination.

Men who wake up 2 or more times during the night to go to the bathroom.

It’s one of the most common urinary problems in older men. And it seems to effect 50% of men over the age of 50. And 70% of men over the age of 80.

So what are the dangers of Nocturia?

Outside of being annoying, this increase in nighttime urination disturbs sleep patterns, which can contribute to poor health, lower energy, depression, and increased overall mortality. And for older adults it increases their risk for falls. And the potential injuries that could be the results of hitting the floor or other objects in the room.

But men, what if you could reduce nighttime urination by 64%?

And limited your trips to the bathroom at night to no more than one time? Would you be interested in learning how?

If yes, then let me tell you about a successful human trial that did just that.

This trial studied a group of men who ranged in age from 45 to 72 years old. Their urinary symptoms were assessed at the start of the study. During this assessment 87% of men reported some degree of Nocturia. Roughly 50% of the men got up one time at night. And 37% of men got up two to three time each night to urinate.

All subjects were given one capsule that contained the following:

  • 180 mg of Beta-sitosterol

  • 100 mg of Pygeum Bark Extract

  • 15 mg of Lycopene

  • 10 mg of Boron

  • 2 mg of Melatonin

They took this capsule daily for 60 days. Researchers then evaluated the number of trips they had to the bathroom to go pee. The 87% who suffered from Nocturia at the start of the study declined to only 23%, which was a 64% reduction.

And for those in the study who got up 2 or more time to go to the bathroom, none suffered from this degree by the end of the study. In fact, many of these men were able to reduce nighttime urination to zero.

Now you might not be able to combine all 5 of these ingredients into your lifestyle. So let’s look at each one to see how they can benefit men and improve their urinary tract. Read More →

CoVid-19 and Hydroxychloroquine

Posted by Dan Hammer //
 04/01/2020
CoVid-19 and Hydroxychloroquine

Over the last month there has been a lot of discussion regarding CoVid-19 and hydroxychloroquine, the drug used for malaria, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis.

As the CoVid-19 virus spread across the world some nations and governments have been using this drug to treat their patients.

But it wasn’t until President Trump brought it up, at one of the Health Task Force news conferences, that this drug came to national attention here in America.

And the reaction to President Trump linking CoVid-19 and hydroxychloroquine as been mixed.

While President Trump has been extremely enthusiastic about the potential of this drug to save lives, the news media has not. Here are some of their March headlines when President Trump first mentioned this drug:

Why President Trump is at odds with his medical experts over using malaria drugs against Covid-19

Click Here to read the article

Malaria Drug Chloroquine No Better Than Regular Coronavirus Care, Study Finds

Click Here to read the article

There’s scant evidence so far for chloroquine as a COVID-19 drug — but there’s already a shortage

Click Here to read the article

And it continues even today with the news media bashing President Trump, and those who support his position, about the medical use of hydroxychloroquine for CoVid-19.

I thought it would be helpful to cut through the headlines, and agendas, and try to get to the facts about CoVid 19 and hydroxychloroquine. Whether it’s effective in helping people with this deadly virus or not.

Just recently the FDA has given an emergency-use authorization to chloroquine-based products to expand access to these drugs during the CoVid-19 health crisis. This emergency-use authorization allows patients with CoVid-19 to have discussions with their attending physicians about using these types of drugs to treat their illness.

While this doesn’t mean that the chloroquine-based drugs will prove to be effective, it does mean that there is enough information to cause the FDA and the Health Task Force to see this as a potential help in the prevention and recovery from this deadly virus.

Here are three headlines from scientific journals regarding the use of this drug for the treatment of CoVid-19:

Results from a Controlled Trial of Hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19

This study came out of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University in Wuhan, China. It was a randomized study of 62 patients with half receiving a placebo and the other half taking 200 mg of hydroxychloroquine twice per day for 5 days.

According to Dr. Zhan Zhang, one of the lead researchers, “The data in this study revealed that after 5 days of hydroxychloroquine treatment, the symptoms of patients with COVID-19 were significantly relieved, manifesting as shorten(ing) in the recovery time for cough and fever.”

Those taking the hydroxychloroquine had a return to normal body temperature and cessation of cough one day faster then those in the placebo group.

It has been reported in the news that 4 patients had adverse results during the study. This is true but the 4 patients were in the placebo group.

UW treating COVID-19 patients with antimalarial drug — researcher calls it ‘very promising’

Researchers and physicians at the University of Washington in Seattle have been treating patients with CoVid-19 with hydroxychloroquine. According to Professor Rodney Ho, “There are certain stages of this disease when the drug may be helpful.” But he acknowledges that more research needs to be done in this area.

Which brings me to the final headline:

Penn Launches Trial to Evaluate Hydroxychloroquine to Treat, Prevent COVID-19

The Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania is launching three trials to examine:

  1. If hydroxychloroquine reduces hospital time.

  2. If hydroxychloroquine reduces recover time at home

  3. If hydroxychloroquine can help prevent medical workers from contracting the disease.

We’ll have to wait for these trials to conclude to see if this drug can be effective in the treatment and prevention of CoVid-19.

CoVid-19 and hydroxychloroquine will continue to get attention from both the news media and the medical profession. One thing is clear. It has potential. And that potential needs to be discussed between the patient and the treating physician.

Before I close I’ll leave you with a recent interview conducted by Dr. Oz regarding this controversy

U.S. Doctor Shares New Results Of How Covid-19 Patients Are Doing On Hydroxychloroquine

Hopefully this information will help you and your loved ones have a better understanding of this drug. Especially if anyone gets infected with the CoVid-19 virus and needs medical attention.

Can Stem Cells Reverse Aging

Stem Cells Reverse Aging

In today’s article we’re going to look at the question: Can Stem Cells Reverse Aging?

But before we do let’s get a clear understanding on what stem cells are. Here is a direct quote from U.S. National Library of Medicine:

“Stem cells are cells with the potential to develop into many different types of cells in the body. They serve as a repair system for the body. There are two main types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells.

Stem cells are different from other cells in the body in three ways:

  • They can divide and renew themselves over a long time

  • They are unspecialized, so they cannot do specific functions in the body

  • They have the potential to become specialized cells, such as muscle cells, blood cells, and brain cells”

For our discussion on the question can stem cells reverse aging, we are going to focus on adult stem cells that are currently in your body.

Now if adult stem cells have the ability to replicate and become specialized cells, then why do we grow old and lose function as we age?

And the answer is that adult stem cells are also impacted by the aging process. Meaning that over time they loose their effectiveness in both replication and becoming specialized cells.

Can Stem Cells Reverse Aging – 4 Key Strategies

This means that the key to adult stem cells reverse aging lies in keeping them as healthy as possible. And through recent research done by Life Extension and InSilico Medicine, there seems to be three plant-based nutrients that help to promote healthy stem cells. They are: Read More →

How Digestive Enzymes Factor in an Anti Aging Strategy

Posted by Dan Hammer //

Digestive Enzymes

With over 100 different enzymes in the body, of which 22 are digestive enzymes, I won’t have the time or the space to discuss each one. But I want to give you an overview on how important enzymes are to your health.

Enzymes are proteins that act like catalysts by binding to an initial substance and converting it into something else. They are needed for every chemical reaction that takes place in your body. No mineral, vitamin or hormone can do any significant work without enzymes.

Because of this, they are critical to your overall health and wellness and play an important role in how you age. That’s why digestive enzymes are need for an effective anti aging strategy.

Think in 3’s!

There are 3 classes of enzymes:

  • Metabolic – which run our bodies.

  • Digestive – which digest our food.

  • Food – which come from raw foods and start food digestion.

There are 3 types of digestive enzymes and they have 3 main jobs:

  • Proteases are enzymes that digest proteins.

  • Amylases are enzymes that digest carbohydrates.

  • Lipases are enzymes that digest fats.

Some say, “You Are What You Eat” but I say, “You Are What You Digest!”

The Digestive Process and How Digestive Enzymes Fit In

Enzymes from raw foods start the digestive process. They help break down complex foods into simple structures. That’s why the chewing process is so important. Read More →

Advanced Glycation End Products Cause You to AGE!

Advanced Glycation End Products

In the battle to slow the aging process you need to take aim at Advanced Glycation End products commonly referred to in the scientific community as AGEs. This article will help you understand how AGEs are formed , what impact they have on aging, and how they contribute to degenerative diseases. To start we need to focus on proteins and sugar.

Proteins are formed from amino acids and are essential for life. They serve two critical roles.

First, they provide structure for the body. One such structural protein is collagen, which accounts for approximately one third of your body’s total protein. It’s found in skin, muscles, organs and vascular structures. And it provides elasticity and cohesion to these structures.

Second, proteins provide function in the form of enzymes that enable all life-sustaining biochemical reactions to occur within your body.

Sugar is a simple carbohydrate. It provides energy for your cells.

When properly controlled, proteins and sugars can interact without causing any damage to the body.

What are Advanced Glycation End Products?

As you age your structural proteins are damaged by a process known as glycation. This process is an uncontrolled, non-enzymatic reaction between proteins and sugars to significantly alter the structure and function of proteins.

In this process a sugar molecule attaches itself to a protein molecule resulting in the formation of a non-functioning glycated protein called Advanced Glycation End products or AGEs. Research over the last 30 years has implicated AGEs in most of the diseases associated with aging like: Read More →
