lowered inflammation & blood sugar

Most people have been taught to fear orange juice because it contains "sugar".

Well, if you've been under the impression that orange juice is somehow bad for you just because it contains natural sugars, then today's email will shock you...

I recently reviewed a study out of the University of Buffalo that compared 3 groups of people...

1. Participants that ate a high fat, high carb breakfast sandwich, high fat hashbrowns + plain water.

2. Participants that ate the same high fat, high carb breakfast + sugar water

3. Participants ate the same high fat, high carb breakfast + 2 cups of Orange juice

People that ate this high fat, high carb breakfast had significantly increased inflammation markers in their body, increased reactive oxygen species (harmful), increased endotoxin in the gut (also harmful), and a large blood sugar response too.

The group that drank the orange juice with the meal actually added an additional 75 grams of carbohydrates to the meal from the natural sugars in the OJ.

Surprisingly, the group that drank the orange juice along with the high fat, high carb breakfast had LOWER inflammation markers, lower endotoxin production in the gut, and also an improved blood sugar and insulin response to the meal.

These are amazing results considering they also took in an extra 300 calories from the orange juice, and yet they didn't suffer the same inflammation or blood sugar spikes that the groups without the orange juice had.

The researchers concluded that the unique polyphenols and flavonoids in orange juice (along with the high micronutrient content of the OJ) helped to suppress the inflammation response to such a high-fat and high-carb meal, while also improving the blood sugar and insulin response.

I've said it before in this newsletter, but OJ is basically a powerful health drink!

OJ is absolutely loaded with... polyphenols, flavonoids, vitamin C, thiamine, magnesium, folate, potassium, vitamin B5, copper, and dozens more powerful nutrients.

It's basically one of the most nutrient-dense sources of carbs you can consume, with pretty powerful health benefits as we've seen in this study today. So don't fear OJ just because it contains some natural sugars.

While Orange juice has some significant health benefits, there's a particular fruit warning below that you need to see...

Banana VS Mango VS Apple... (the worst "yellow fruit" for A1C)

If your blood sugar is out of control… stop eating THIS fruit!

According to Dr. Rick Cohen - Duke University doc & diabetes specialist - one of these 4 “yellow fruits” can wreck your insulin production…

And SPIKE your blood sugar by 60 mg/dL instantly!

But which one is it?

(Click on the image you think is right)

HINT - 92% of people with high blood sugar eat it at least 1x a week… even though it’s DEADLY for your A1C.

I don't know about you, but I LOVE some delicious rosemary with sea salt on a good steak! Or some rosemary in a good stew, soup, or roast is my favorite herb.

But did you know that powerful compounds in rosemary can actually boost your brain health?

It's true... Rosemary contains unique phytochemicals that are shown to improve brain function as well as mood and memory. Some of the powerful compounds in rosemary are Rosmarinic acid, betulic acid, and carnosic acid.

In fact, a study in Cell Journal showed that carnosic acid in rosemary can protect you from Strokes, Alzheimer's, and slow aging in the brain.

Another compound in rosemary called 1,8-cineole was shown in studies to improve cognitive performance in brain tests on seniors.

So enjoy that delicious rosemary seasoning in your soups, stews, steaks, roasts, chicken and more, and know that you're helping your brain at the same time!

I will soon be offering micro needling.
Here is some information.
Overview of Microneedling Benefits

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that offers several health and aesthetic benefits for the skin. It involves using thin needles to create tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing processes.
Key Benefits
Skin Rejuvenation

Stimulates Collagen Production: Microneedling promotes the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins that keep skin firm and smooth.
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The procedure helps to minimize the appearance of fine lines and deeper wrinkles by enhancing skin elasticity.

Improvement of Skin Texture and Tone

Enhances Skin Texture: Regular treatments can lead to smoother skin and improved overall texture.
Minimizes Enlarged Pores: By strengthening the skin, microneedling can help reduce the size of enlarged pores.

Scar Treatment

Reduces Acne Scars: Microneedling is effective in diminishing the visibility of acne scars by stimulating new skin cell growth.
Helps with Stretch Marks: The treatment can also improve the appearance of stretch marks, making them less noticeable.

Additional Benefits

Improves Skin Tone: Microneedling can help address issues like hyperpigmentation, leading to a more even skin tone.
Enhances Absorption of Skincare Products: The micro-injuries created during the procedure allow for better pe*******on of topical treatments, making them more effective.

Considerations

While microneedling is generally safe, it is important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.

Essential Oils, Sound and Vibration
Dear Hamilton ,

On discovering that music is played to Oshadhi oils, reactions vary. Often there is a mixture of surprise and delight; sometimes a look of blank incomprehension.

With this in mind, I thought you might be interested to understand the deep reason that underlies this, and there's no better person to explain it than Malte Hozzel, founder of Oshadhi. In his short essay below, he explains how essential oils carry frequency, and how this can be enhanced.

With best wishes,

Jonathan Hinde
The subtle nature of essential oils

Essential oils are more than just aromatic extracts. They are highly refined plant expressions – shaped by the light of sun, moon and stars, soil, water, and climate.

In their delicate composition, they respond not only to physical conditions, but also to their surroundings. To a large degree the energetic vibrational quality of the environment has a strong influence.

Experience shows that sound and music can interact with their subtle layers of frequencies and enhance their special healing effects. We always remember that the biochemistry or 'matter' of a plant and its oil is one thing, the energy or 'vibration' it contains and exhales is another. In the same way it is true that the bio-chemistry of disease is one thing, the vibrational message it conveys is another one.

Working with essential oils therefore requires a certain refined awareness which goes beyond standard application.

Sound as a companion

Sound is vibration in motion. It travels through space, through the body, and through matter. When sound meets essential oils, a hidden dialogue arises. This is only measurable in a subtle non-conventional way, yet often it is perceptible as an experience of 'energizing' frequencies within the human system, and resonances within plants and their oils.
'When sound meets essential oils, a subtle dialogue can arise'
Make contact with subtler energies

Since the beginning of the relationship between humans and plants, we have sought ways to connect with the more subtle energies that shape plant life. This has taken many forms - from shamanic, ritualistic, meditative, or yogic practices to simple, heartfelt gestures such as speaking to plants, expressing gratitude, admiration, or care, or offering sound through singing, chanting, or music. Sound - as well as thoughts, feelings, attitudes and intentions - can deeply influence plants and, in turn, their essential oils.

Everything is vibration

The Universe is first of all spiritual, akashic, pure energy, intelligent vibration; matter comes later. If we reverse our world vision of 'matter first', we have the key to a cosmic understanding of reality.

Everything in the universe is in a constant state of subtle vibrational exchange – especially living organisms and the expressions that arise from them. All life is continuously influenced by the environment in which it exists. When this surrounding field is unsettled or chaotic, it may lead to a kind of inner imbalance or dissonance.

In contrast, an environment shaped by coherence and harmony can gently support and uplift the natural vitality of all forms of life – also of plants. Plant medicine has ever been connected to the subtle realms of Nature where healing was first of all an act of restoring and rebalancing the subtle energy and vitality in the human system with the help of the frequencies of what Vedic Science calls 'intelligent life force' - or prana - of the Universe.
'Through sound, music, or chanting a harmonious field can be created, fully unfolding the life-affirming effects of plants.'
Through thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and intentions – as well as through sound, music, or chanting – such a harmonious field can be created, allowing the life-affirming resonance of plants to unfold more fully.

Living molecules

It is worth remembering that aromatic molecules can be seen as highly refined carriers of the subtle intelligence of plant life. In this sense, they can be understood as “living molecules” – a perspective I once had the opportunity to share with my master Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. He paused for a moment and then responded that this was “a very Vedic expression.” At that time, I also mentioned that we constantly expose our OSHADHI essential oils to Gandharva Veda music in the storage spaces of our company AYUS. By the way OSHADHI means “carrier of light” - from Sanskrit “ojas” = “light” – also “medicine”.

Oshadhi oils bathe in harmonious sounds

At Oshadhi in Germany, this approach has now been part of our practice for over 30 years.Throughout the nights and during weekends, our OSHADHI oils gently bathe in the harmonious vibrations of ancient Indian musical sounds – traditionally called Gandharva Veda music. Emitted from loud-speakers in the ceiling of our storage spaces, these subtle special frequencies of harmonious sounds become a quiet energy upliftment for the oils.

It's interesting that the term Gandharva is associated with the Sanskrit root gandh, which means 'smell' or 'fragrance'. Gandharvas in ancient Indian mythology refer to special celestial beings - guardians of sacred knowledge and musicians - who promote with their music the flow of ojas, the magical life substance in the human body. So our Gandharva Veda music is played to encourage our oils to connect sound with scent – the space element with the earth element – a perfect polarity of energy exchange for a new era of holistic medicine. I think, it works ...
