Note:  I found both Sunflower & Sesame oils at Its a Beautiful Day Health store in Mandeville, LA.  It was not readily available in local grocery stores.  DO NOT  buy TOASTED SESAME OIL, only the golden clear varieties!  I started OP TODAY, and will keep you informed! Debbie

Here’s are a few paragraphs from Bharat Savur’s article on The Hindu Business Online

…”When Dr Karsch examined the gargled milk-white oil under a microscope with 600 magnification, he saw live organisms swimming in it. It’s poisonous, so never swallow it, he warns. These poisons are bacteria-embryos, which, if not eliminated, cause diseases. Apparently, Dr Karsach cured his own chronic blood disease and 15-year-old arthritis.

The first sign of improvement is in the teeth-they become firm and white, he says. Other healing indications: fresh, relaxed feeling on waking up, disappearing dark pouches below the eyes, anew appetite and energy, better memory and deep sleep.

Dr Karsch swears by the mouth oil-wash for anything from organ-disorders, skin-diseases, menstrual problems, paralysis to every ache and it is in the human anatomy. You can gargle even when you have fever, he says, adding, it takes anything from two days to a year to cure a disease.

And if these claims sound exaggerated, he told a conference of Ukrainian cancer specialists, try out the process yourself.

Interestingly, Ayurveda advises oil gargling “to purify the taste-buds and the entire system”, as explained by Dr Deepak Chopra in Perfect Health. According to this life science, the tongue is mapped by organ-locations — that is, each section of the tongue is connected to the kidneys, lungs, spleen, liver, heart, pancreas, small intestines, stomach, colon, and spine.

Thus, an oil-mouth-massage soothes and stimulates the key meridians where taste meets organ. Simultaneously, as in any skin-massage, the inner skin and lining of the mouth, palate and tongue become warm and supple and the lubrication prevents dryness (the vatic effect).

In modern dietetics too, dryness is discussed. For example, lack of Vitamin A (retinal) causes the outer lining of the eyeball to dry and wrinkle, and affects vision.

And as any dietician would tell you, all oils contain 960 micrograms of vitamin A per 10 gm (the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A per adult is 600 micrograms). So, it’s possible that oil gargling helps in reaching the required retinal to the eyeballs and keeps them elastic and smooth.

Likewise, the Ayurvedic `purification of taste-buds’ also has its equivalent in dietetics as `antioxidants’. Oxidation literally means `the putrefaction of body-tissues’.

And oil-soluble vitamins, A, C, D, and E are antioxidants that protect and prevent the decaying process and help maintain the integral functioning of cell membranes. That’s why, many people are ingesting vitamin E pills to stem `aging’ (oxidation).”

Are you the “healthiest you” possible?

None of us want to be sick.  Unfortunately, our lives are full of stress, toxins, illnesses and factors that contribute to our well being or lack of it!  It isn’t enough today to just eat balanced meals.  Most of our foods are full of additives and toxins, which contribute to obesity, toxicity and diseases.  Trying to eat organic is a great start, but with prices as high as they are, its not always easy to afford everything organic!

We all need to take precautions to stay healthy.  Having your regular annual check up is a good habit, but what about the rest of the year?  If you are not taking an excellent multi-vitamin and supplements, you need to be.  All of us are aging, and combatting aging can be an uphill battle.

MBSE: To DO or NOT TO DO?

There’s a lot of controversy today about Monthly Breast Self Exams (MBSE).  Some medical authorities say women should be doing a regular monthly exam and others are now saying it can be more harmful than beneficial.

It’s hard to know the truth, isn’t it?  As a woman, taking time out my busy schedule to look for lumps in my breasts once a month is hardly on the priority list of what needs to be done in a day!  Perhaps you feel the same way.  You may not know how to do one properly, it feels awkward and besides, who wants to be looking for trouble anyway, right?  It all depends on YOUR ATTITUDE!

So do you need to get intimate with your breasts?  I believe you do…but in a more positive and empowering way than you may have thought.  Let me explain:

If you were about to start a weight loss program, would you want to know how much you weighed and your measurements?  Of course!  That’s where you would begin your weight loss program.  Well, we offer a breast health program and the first place we encourage women to start is with them having an accurate picture of the health of their breasts.

Relax - most breast lumps are NOT cancerous and lumpy breasts are a pretty natural part of being a woman.  But by first conducting a thorough breast exam using our Breast Chek Kit which gives you sensory magnification to your fingertips and makes a breast exam super easy and accurate, you will get to know your breasts like never before.

I love my breasts and I am committed to them staying right where they belong until the day I die.  You can have the same commitment.  It’s actually fairly easy, especially when you have a whole community of women committed your breast health to help you.

Part of the 5-step breast health program we teach at Plexus Pink is to help women get to know their breasts…positively.  Not from a place of fear but rather from a place of appreciation and acknowledgment for how amazing breasts really are.
