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
