Detoxify heavy metals and soothe chronic inflammation with cilantro, a powerful ‘superherb’

(NaturalNews) The anti-inflammatory and detoxification power of cilantro, a medicinal herb whose seeds are known as coriander, is greatly underrated and largely unknown in Western culture today. But if you suffer from a chronic inflammatory disease, which can manifest itself as arthritis, an autoimmune disorder, heart disease, brain fog, fatigue, and irritable bowel syndrome, and a number of other debilitating illnesses, then cilantro just might be the natural solution for you.

Rich in phytonutrients, flavonoids, and active phenolic compounds, cilantro has long been used by ancient cultures to prevent indigestion and other digestive disorders, and recent studies have confirmed that the herb does, indeed, help alleviate various stomach ailments. Dr. James A. Duke, Ph.D., a retired botanist from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and author of The CRC Handbook of Medicinal Herbs, for instance, says that drinking a cup of cilantro leaf tea can remedy any form of stomach discomfort (http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/benefits-of/cilantro).

Cilantro contains two specific compounds known as cineole and linoleic acid that both possess anti-arthritic and anti-rheumatic properties. Cilantro also contains a substance known as dodecenal that is twice as powerful as the antibiotic drug gentamicin at fighting infection and eradicating harmful microbes from the body. Cilantro is also a natural antiseptic that can help wounds heal more quickly, and is a natural chelator of heavy metals from the body.

Eating several tablespoons of cilantro-based pesto every day (http://www.rawfoodinfo.com/articles/art_cilantroremheavymetals.html), in fact, or supplementing with cilantro capsules, is an excellent way to help cleanse your body of toxic heavy metals like mercury, arsenic, and lead, which can accumulate in tissue and elsewhere as a result of repeated environmental and dietary exposure. Adding cilantro juice to a cleansing coffee enema is another great way to detoxify your body of heavy metals naturally (http://www.naturalnews.com/027942_cilantro_heavy_metals.html).

Cilantro as a natural anti-inflammatory medicine

As far as inflammation is concerned, researchers from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi, India, found that rats given a powdered extract of coriander seeds to treat rheumatoid arthritis experienced far less swelling and inflammation compared to rats given a steroid treatment for the condition. The research team also found that coriander extract can alleviate joint inflammation associated with other types of arthritis as well.

“We undertook this experiment after we found [cilantro's] mention in the traditional systems of medicine like Ayurveda and Unani for its anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic activities,” said Surender Singh, co-author of the study which was published in the Indian Journal of Medical Research. Traditional Ayurveda and Unani, after all, have long used cilantro, with much success, to treat inflammatory conditions (http://www.everydayhealth.com).

A 2004 study published in the journal Food Chemistry found similar benefits for both cilantro and coriander, but noted that cilantro leaf extracts are the most potent. Since those suffering from chronic inflammatory conditions have been found to have lower-than-normal antioxidant levels, and cilantro is a powerful antioxidant, it is hypothesized that the mechanism by which this medicinal herb alleviates inflammation is via its unique antioxidant content.

So how can you integrate cilantro into your own diet? Blending a handful of fresh, organic cilantro into your daily smoothie is one option (http://mariefrohlich.blogspot.com). You can also throw some cilantro in your regular juicing recipes, and also sprinkle it into salads, stews, and other meals. Chopped cilantro also tastes great when added to fresh salsas and dips, so you can try adding it to those recipes.

Adya Clarity co. being sued for misrepresentation, fraud, by Matt Monarch – Raw Food World

Flashback: Adya, Inc. is Suing “My Family”!

 

Pressforactivism.com
WRC559.com

(NaturalNews) Matt Monarch, founder of the Raw Food World (www.RawFoodWorld.com) has announced his intention to sue Adya, Inc. for what he describes to NaturalNews as damages, product misrepresentation and fraud. Matt Monarch’s full statement is found below.

Monarch told NaturalNews that he has been “financially devastated” by dealing with Adya, Inc., because his company (Raw Food World) voluntarily announced a refund initiative that refunded the purchase price of customers who had purchased Adya Clarity. (Raw Food World was the largest distributor for Adya Clarity in North America, by far.) Adya, Inc., he says, has honored no such refunds and has even refused to refund unopened product that Monarch spent thousands of dollars to have shipped back to Adya, Inc.

On top of this, Adya Inc. is threatening to sue Monarch for roughly $200,000 which the company claims is owed by Monarch for product that he has already attempted to return to the company.

In addition to the legal action announced below, NaturalNews is initiating legal action against Adya, Inc. in an attempt to force a court-ordered halt to the importation and distribution of Adya, Inc. products in order to protect the health and safety of consumers. Details of that action are to be announced soon here at NaturalNews.com.

Statement by Matt Monarch / Raw Food World: Adya, Inc. is Suing “My Family!”

Can you believe this!? Do you remember how we voluntarily offered refunds about eight months ago for a product called Adya Clarity? It has been an extremely financially draining process; we gave a refund or store credit to everyone who asked for one, even though refunds were not officially ordered and it was very challenging economically for us to do this. We actually have about 10% of these refunds still left to process right now, which we hope to complete as soon as possible. Over the last eight months, we have hired another six employees to help handle this crisis. It has been an immensely time- and energy-consuming process and Angela and I have invested every last personal liquid asset of ours into this process, with absolutely zero refunds or compensation from Adya, Inc.

Out of all the raw food companies that sold Adya Clarity, we were the first to stand up and offer refunds. The majority of these other companies didn’t even follow through with refunding all of their customers, as we are doing.

We followed through with all of these thousands of refunds, because we felt it was the ethical thing to do, and now Adya, Inc. has the audacity to try to sue my “family and I”!

Adya, Inc. is suing “The Raw Food World, Inc.” for about $200,000.00. They are also threatening me that this is just the first lawsuit and that they have intentions to sue me for defamation, because as their biggest distributor I pulled out of selling their product and voluntarily offered all of my customers refunds for their purchases. I intend to vigorously defend against these claims.

Why is Adya, Inc. suing me?

When the whole “Adya drama” went down, which I’ll describe further below, I emailed Adya, Inc to ask if I could return our unopened and untouched product stock, which was all received to our warehouse within the last 7 – 30 days of that request. They responded yes and gave me a ‘pro number’ for this return. I then spent $5,000 – $6,000 to ship the product back. After I had already paid to send the product back, they rejected the shipment. They are also now demanding a massive amount of interest on the balance and “lawyer fees”. Additionally, I returned more than double the amount of product compared to our outstanding balance, so technically they owe me money. However, from the graciousness of my heart, I decided to let it all go and I didn’t refuse charges on my credit cards or anything of that nature.

Adya, Inc. has not issued one single refund for anyone. Right now we’re at a point where we’ve finished refunding 90% of all the thousands and thousands of refund requests from customers. Angela and I have not even taken one penny from ‘The Raw Food World, Inc.’ over the last eight months, in order to swiftly refund everyone as best we can and make this right. We have been fortunate enough to be able to live off our land by growing our own food and so on. Now, with this nonsensical court case against The Raw Food World, we’re being required to put all of our funds into defending the company. We were so close to finishing these refunds and moving on.

The history of Adya Clarity and The Raw Food World:

I started selling a product called Adya Clarity in which I strongly believed. This product became popular and started to gain a lot of attention. About eight months ago as I write this, Mike Adams, the man behind the most popular online “natural news” website in the world posted seven articles about the different potential dangers of this product. These articles can be viewed by clicking here.

I was in shock when I saw these posts starting to come out. When I realized that there may have been even a slight chance that this product could potentially harm a human being, we offered refunds or store credits to everyone who had requested one, to make this right. Now Adya, Inc. is threatening to sue me for defamation, due to this.

We’ve refunded thousands of customers and Adya, Inc. has decided to not even refund distributors like us or the direct customers who were not satisfied with their product, which is claimed to be harmful in these articles. Personally I don’t understand why the other raw food companies out there are not speaking up against Adya, Inc. Practically every single online raw food store that I know of was selling Adya Clarity on their website. Most of these companies took down this product silently and swiftly when this fiasco began and remained silent.

We are the largest online Raw Foods and Superfoods store in the world and we work ethically and with integrity. Where others just made a quick apology and offered minimal if any refunds, Angela and I went to the very depths of giving away almost everything we had to take care of this mess. I hope that this integrity is clear to all of my clients and that we continue to earn the title that the majority of the Raw Foods and Health Foods Community seems to have deemed fitting for us; the most trusted source of high-end Raw Foods and Superfoods in the world.

There is nothing more important than being with our families and Adya, Inc. is making this possibility challenging for me through their actions, threatening to draw me away to deal with court proceedings. However, as fanatical as I am about health and family, I am also fanatical about being ethical and doing what feels like the “right thing” and what Adya, Inc. is trying to do here is, from my point of view, absolutely absurd. I feel that Adya Inc, is “stealing” from my “family” by trying to get me to leave them and go into a massive court battle. Additionally, they are trying to steal from our family-owned corporation, of which my wife Angela and I are the sole officers.

We will be responding to Adya, Inc’s lawsuit and will seek compensation for the damage caused to The Raw Food World, Inc. The reason I didn’t file a lawsuit before, is because I’m not the type of guy who likes to get into legal battles and I don’t at all enjoy the negative energy associated with lawsuits.

I just can’t justify giving these people the money they are demanding! I will do everything in my power to either get these cases dropped or fight them until the very end.

The reason I wanted to inform you about all of this is to let you in on the absurdity that is going on here in my life right now and also maybe get your help in getting Adya, Inc. to drop their case against us. I guess the best thing that you can do, if willing, is just pray with us regarding this dilemma and send love into this situation, whenever you can. It would truly be a dream come true for us, if Adya, Inc. would drop their case against us. There is nothing more that I could ask for in life but to be able to stay home with my family. I’ll keep you all updated on how this turns out.

Thank you all for your ongoing love and support that you bless us with! I will continue to do everything in my power to serve you in the best way that I can. As you can see with our monthly ‘At-Cost’ specials ‘At-Cost’ here, I will continue to always strive to get you wholesale pricing on the highest-end Raw Food and Superfood products in the world, to nourish you and your family for many decades to come!

Sincerely,
Matt Monarch and Family

28-Palm-Trees

Did you know? Acai berries actually come from palm trees

Pressforactivism.com

(NaturalNews) Acai berries have become so famous in recent years as an antioxidant-packed superfood, that even many people who don’t keep actively informed on health food topics have heard of them. Given the name, you might imagine that they grow on bushes like blueberries or raspberries — but in fact, they grow on palm trees.

Acai palms are native to Brazil and are also a major source for heart of palm. The fruit of the Acai tree has long been a staple in the diet of poor, rural Brazilians because of its abundance and its high nutritional content.

Unfortunately, the popularity of acai’s nutritional benefits led to a wave of charlatans and hucksters selling adulterated (or even counterfeit) acai products online. Mainstream media websites including the LA Times widely promoted the fraudulent acai scams by carrying their advertising, receiving revenues from the fraudulent marketing of adulterated acai for weight loss. NaturalNews helped expose this fraud in an article published on February 20, 2011, entitled “Mainstream media websites promoting Acai Berry Diet weight loss scam with weird belly fat tips ads.” http://www.naturalnews.com/031280_acai_berries_scam.html

In January of 2012, the FTC finally took action against the fraudulent acai promoters. As NaturalNews reported: (http://www.naturalnews.com/034598_acai_FTC_lawsuit.html)

…the FTC has asked federal courts in ten separate cases to stop the companies involved from creating fake acai berry diet ads that pose as legitimate product reviews, but are really nothing more than fabricated marketing schemes. These deceptive ads continue to appear all across the internet on various websites, including many mainstream news websites.

 

Food, Control and the Growing Police State

Szandor Blestman
Blitz
July 29, 2011

Food has always been a tool the elite have used to control the masses. When you control the food supply, you control everything, even life and death. A starving man is more likely to sell his soul for a potato then someone with a full tummy. The relatively free market of food production and distribution that has been in place in this nation for a few centuries now has led to unrivaled prosperity. Food can, in fact, be grown for practically nothing if you have the land, the time and can afford to buy just a few heirloom seeds to grow the organic vegetables necessary for good health. This will save you money, is better for you than grocery store vegetables which may be genetically modified or may contain unwanted chemicals, and helps you to become less dependent on the state for your survival.

It is the last part of the above statement that frightens government officials. They want you dependent on them. For some, it makes them feel important. Others may just want to feel needed or helpful. Still others may just want the paycheck. Whatever the case, they don’t seem to just want to leave you alone to your own devices. Perhaps that’s why they’re attempting to pass laws making it illegal to grow your own garden. Perhaps that’s why they want to make sure you’re a compliant grass farmer just like your neighbors. Perhaps that’s why they’re trying to control the food necessary for life.

There was much reporting done on the story of Julie Bass from Oak Park, Michigan, who was arrested for growing a garden in her (gasp) front lawn. There was so much reporting on this story, in fact, that the city of Oak Park decided to drop the charges. They had claimed that the citizens of Oak Park were in favor of such ordinances that made it a crime to have anything but nicely manicured, inedible, Kentucky bluegrass lawns (an exaggeration, but you get the idea). I think they were rather surprised when the Bass’s neighbors came out decidedly against the arrest. Rather than apologizing and admitting they were wrong like normal people would do, however, they did what you would expect of government control freaks who think they’re perfect. They found something else to charge poor Julie Bass with. Things get tough for you once you’re on the government’s shit list.

As Julie Bass’s further adventures in the world of government abuse unfold, I hope she continues to receive the support of her neighbors and things turn out well for her. There are others who are not quite as fortunate as her, however, when it comes to the government’s longing for complete control over food. There are other victims of inane policies of local government gangs. The homeless in Orlando are a good example.
