🌶CHILI 🥕CARROTS 🥗CABBAGE

The 3 Cancer Fighting “C”s 🥕🌶🥗

🌶🌶The pepper's natural ingredient capsaicin induces autophagy blockage in prostate cancer cells
Ágata Ramos-Torres, Alicia Bort, [...], and Inés Díaz-Laviada
Abstract
CAPSICUM the pungent ingredient of red hot chili peepers, has been shown to have anti-cancer activities in several cancer cells, including prostate cancer. Several molecular mechanisms have been proposed on its chemopreventive action, including ceramide accumulation.Herein, we have tested the involvement of autophagy on the capsaicin mechanism of action on prostate cancer LNCaP and PC-3 cells.
The results showed that capsaicin induced prostate cancer cell death in a time- and concentration-dependent manner.

🥗🥗CABBAGE has been shown to inhibit urinary bladder and liver carcinogenesis, and reduce the risk of occurrence of prostate, lung, gallbladder, stomach, cervical, kidney and colorectal cancer. This anticarcinogenic activity has been found in green cabbage, red cabbage, bok choy, and to some extent, in sauerkraut. As a result of its pigmentation, red cabbage contains anthocyanins such as delphinidin, which has anticarcinogenic activity.
Cabbage has been found to be promote apoptosis, suppress cell cycle progression and inhibit angiogenesis of human breast cancer cells.

🥕🥕CARROTS & CARROT JUICE have powerful chemicals falcarinol and luteolin that reawakens silenced cancer suppressor genes and restores our body's capacity to regulate cell division and destroy abnormal cells. Carrot juice treatment can help people with cancer on its own, or combined with chemotherapy and radiation. Studies have shown carrots reduce the risk of lung cancer, breast cancer and colon cancer.

This is a very simple and easy recipe 🌶🥕🥗

Nicely roasted cabbage turns sweet and earthy, with a deliciously silky texture. There's a beautiful balance of flavors here--sweetness from cabbage and carrots, fire from hot sauce and brightness from vinegar.
Ingredients
* 2 1/4 pounds green cabbage, core removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
* 1 cup vertically sliced yellow onion
* 1 tablespoon coconut oil
* 1 Monk Fruit to taste optional
* 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 450°.
Combine cabbage, onion, oil, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl; toss to coat. (It's OK if the cubes start to separate.)
☀️
Divide cabbage mixture between 2 jelly-roll pans. Bake at 450° for 20 minutes, stirring and rotating pans after 10 minutes.
🔆
In the same bowl that you used for the cabbage, combine carrots, vinegar, and hot sauce; toss to coat.
🔆
Remove cabbage from oven, and carefully transfer the bowl with the carrots. Add the second tablespoon of coconut oil and toss gently to combine.
🔆
Return to the oven for 5 minutes just to wilt the carrots....

✝️THE BIBLE GARDEN
A Continual Feast….Eating like our Biblical Ancestors.

✝️LEEK & WALNUT SALAD

The Israelites in the wilderness longed for the leeks and onions of Egypt. ( Numbers 11:5 ) The word chatsir , which in ( Numbers 11:5 ) is translated leeks , occurs twenty times in the Hebrew text. It was on the menu of the Egyptians and later the Romans, pioneers of gastronomy, used it plentifully in their cuisine, especially during their great feasts. The Egyptian’s esteemed it as a sacred plant. Although onions to a large extent were regarded food, for the poor leeks were considered fit for the emperor’s Nero to be exact, and he ate leeks and oil to improve his voice.

✝️. (Numbers 11:5)

“We remember the fish which we did eat in Egypt, freely the cucumbers and the melons, and the leeks and the onions and the garlic “.

The nuts in the garden, described in Song of Solomon 6:11 are undoubtedly walnuts (Juglans regia). The trees grow thirty-five ft. or so high in Pal. The foliage is slightly fragrant, and the tree gives good shade. The nuts, of course, are very delicious. Walnuts are associated with intelligence, wisdom, knowledge, and inspiration.

✝️Song of Solomon 6:11

“I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished, and the pomegranates budded.”

ISAIAH’S SUMMER SALAD

GRACE YOUR TABLE WITH A BIBLICAL SALAD THAT HAS MEANING

ISAIAH is considered a Major Prophet. While the book of Isaiah is categorized as prophecy it also contains some of the most important prophecies of any book in the Bible. Including the coming of the Messiah (Isaiah 7:14).

Cucumbers, dark greek olives, dill and goat curd were foods used during this time. Cucumbers grew on the shores of Lake Karun when the pyramids were being built around 2100B.C. They were almost the same as today but slightly like zucchinni. Dll was around 3000BC ; it was a sign of good luck and wealth. It was used to pay taxes it was so highly prized. This salad is delish and fresh and simple.

A Little DARI- CATION 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀

🧀Opiate-Like Chemicals in Cheese are Physically Addictive🧀

80% of the protein in cow's milk is casein. Upon digestion, casein is broken down into numerous protein fragments called "casomorphins." Keep in mind that morphine is an op**te, and these casomorphins stimulate the brain much like op**tes do. Casomorphins attach themselves to various op**te receptors within the body producing pleasurable effects such as sedation, pain reduction, sleep induction and euphoria.

Thus, the protein, casomorphins, and fat content in cheese becomes highly concentrated once the water has been removed. As a result, cheese contains high levels of op**te-like substances--which is why it produces pleasurable experiences when eaten. Dr. Neal Barnard calls cheese "dairy crack" because of it's "incredibly concentrated source of casomorphins.” ……..another drug-like compound in cheese phenylethylamine (PEA) is another amphetamine-like chemical present.

I started something new… One swish… one spritz 2x a day. I have had awesome results!
