all-about-age = knowledge, experience, POWER

WOW - Psysalis !!! - The trends are: the more *exotic* the more popular, it seems. At least it was my conclusion, briefly looking at a cooking programme (on one of the German TV stations).

Psysalis !! One of the contestants had a bowl of them preparing her dish, the well-known starcook - moderator briefly stopped next to the contestant, a white haired woman in her 70's stating what she was busy preparing. Well - why not *Coquille St. Jaques with this, that and PSYSALIS.

PSYSALIS !! as if that rings a bell, as if that is an everyday ingredient we use, is how the woman LOOKED.

I had never heard of it, so I went and checked on Internet - the WIKIPEDIA of course.

My small research project lasted throughout the cooking session and I have no idea whether the contestant came out with shining colours, but I now KNOW what is Physalis!!

What's more: I am so pleased that I did take the time to do that, because I discovered (again) what CRYPTOXANTIN - the major *medicinal property* in Psysalis is (and of course *does*)

WOW - and as if that was not enough as in *discovery* for one day - I also discovered again that WITHANIA SOMNIFERA aka Indıan Ginseng and Psysalis ARE THE SAME.

In AYURVEDIC medicine Withania Somnifera is used a lot, as *the herb* (leaves, root) and Indian Ginseng as it is also called (because the Indians are using it as a healing property) is also an ADAPTOGEN - a natural product that the entire systen can benifit from, briefly said.

Isn't that interesting I thought, after so many years of using such natural products, working with them, buying them, *knowing* a lot about what they *can do for you*, that suddenly I am renewing my own knowledge.

Psysalis !!! The fruit (of the shrub/tree) really looks beautiful, I captured it, created a 7 page document with the picture as page one, and as I read everything: well: I'll be darned, not only Psysalis contains that useful - amazing substance Cryptoxantin, also APPLES, orangerind, butter, eggyolk, papaya and BOVINE Bloodserum have that healing property.

Crytoxantin is similar to Beta Carotene, is also a PRO Vitamin A, and recent research mentions that it is useful against LUNG CANCER (immortality cells)

A real find, another collected jewel added to my treasure chest.

So much more is known now, and available to find, research, know about, provided you have a computer and an Internet Connection.

Note: One of my mentors: Prof. Dr. James Defares, a chelation, cell therapy, anti-aging expert already taught me (1970's) that when feeling under the weather with a cold: take Vitamin A - 100.000 i.u. FOR ONE WEEK.
I knew, but I *forgot*, did not think of it when about 2 weeks ago I went down with a cold.

Today: I am taking it easy, or else......too much stress for my metabolism to cope with, and I start coughing again. About 3-4 hours of non-stop light domestic chores I completed, deciding that now I was going back to bed again.

The small interlude of looking at Psysalis as an ingredient of a dish, my checking all I needed to know - and: how *extraordinary* that Cryptoxantin - that very useful element is also found in the plainest of food, such as APPLES, such as BUTTER, such is BOVINE blood, such as EGGYOLKS.

Not too difficult to remember: when you feel under the weather: apples, butter, eggyolks, beefbroth (for instance) or bloodsausage !! (with red cabbage, apples, a bit of orange rind, and some (mixed) fruitjuice). baked apple in eggyolk sprinkled with Indian Ginseng.

But despite the delicious foodcombinations that I am thinking off, with ingredients to get you well because they contain Cryptoxantin, I shall buy a few bottles of ordinary Vitamin A capsules
as a stock and some Indian Ginseng as well (which I discovered being sold here, 100 gram for €5 or so). It is quite hot and spicey, and best taken of course in a capsule.

All-about-age = knowlegde, experience, and power. Remembering is important, and not checking as happened to me, not that stupid, I had just been focussing on something else, not relevant here now

Bye, Willy

all-about-age

I read a very interesting short article yesterday which is worth mentioning:

STRESS induces development of strains of E.Coli !!

I shall elaborate on this in a next blog, and I have not forgotten to do the same
about *panic* and *panic attacks*.

About E.Coli: the last word has not yet been said, and I am very pleased that some
researchers have now come up with more news about E.Coli.

E.Coli is a very nasty monster, as far as I am concerned, and why I think so, I shall
explain later, for now: this gets posted to.

all-about-age

It has just turned Tuesday, 24th March 2009, time (really) 00.01 and although this blog shall always be titled *all-about-age*, at the moment *all-about-time(ing)* did cross my mind.

A brief message this time, I was thinking about a woman I had met (turn of the century - which sounds rather funny) early 2000's we met, in the lovely Turkish seaside resort KALKAN. It is not far from where I reside, yet I have not been there for years. No reason whatsoever to go there, these days.

I know the year she was born (1952), which makes her on her birthday, should she still be alive and I have no reason to believe otherwise, 57. When we met she therefore was 48/49 and at the time *still a beauty*, however *rather confused*

I got up from my seat, suddenly wondering whether I would find her with her full name on Internet and indeed I did, of sorts that is. Her place in Kalkan, but after having checked: NOT ACTIVE.

All-about-age: at 57 she could still be doing something, somewhere, and at the time of being acquinted she did have a computer, the small hotel she ran was listed and she used the PC, so working with a computer, about 9 years later should not be an obstacle, I considered.

Another woman I met *online* just had gallbladder surgery someone else in closer/direct contact informed her subscribers, including me. Ah, I thought, having quite forgotten that this STUPID woman already had had attacks, with doctors advising her to have an operation to remove the sick organ and she refusing to heed such SOUND advise.

Note: I could have told her to follow those doctors' advise - based on personal experience, not with my own but with the one of my husband H.G. Holmes. I did not, I doubt whether it would have changed her mind, just an impression I got about the woman.

Too bad some people are like this: not *their age* not acting like a responsible adult. You should not continue walking around with such a time bomb in your body, and someone *preaching some gospels*, calling herself a visionairy, an expert of all sorts of therapies, to improve health, is then a very stupid person letting it get that far.
