Benefits of Mangosteen

It has already been generally accepted (and widely advertised) that mangosteen extract is useful in the treatment of arthritis, acid dyspepsia, fibromylagia, moderate asthma, otitis externa and eczema. Now, the latest findings indicate that mangosteen has – in addition to its antioxidant effects – antimicrobial actions that inhibit the progression of acne. Furthermore, it is highly effective against the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a bacterium responsible for staph infections.

Mangosteen is at least as effective as most pharmacological agents as far as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties are concerned. Diabetics are increasingly in favor of its regular use and report that their need for insulin decreases considerably with the ingestion of mangosteen products.

The medicinal benefits of mangosteen will doubtlessly be heralded for a long time to come. Many more will be announced and either confirmed or dismissed in the process. At the moment, there is an understandable trend towards treatment with naturopathic agents like mangosteen extracts in lieu of prescription drugs.

Those properties may be taken as confirmed (unlike some of the miraculous benefits ascribed to it.) However, the highest testimonial that can be given for including this legendary (and certainly not inexpensive) plant in one’s diet is the fact that people who do apparently enjoy better overall health. This means that they appear to be less prone to disease and have higher energy levels than those who do not use mangosteen. They spend less money on prophylactic (preventive) medicines, pay fewer visits to doctors and hospitals and display a higher level of confidence in their health status.

With polluted air, toxic wastes and high levels of stress threatening humans from every side, natural products like mangosteen may offer a centuries-old escape from some of the worst maladies generated by modern civilization. In an age where the use of regenerative food supplements has become something of a religion, could one possibly give higher endorsement to any other natural solution?

Benefits Of Colloidal Silver

High-quality, finely suspended silver particles with less than fifteen atoms in a cluster are known as colloidal silver. This can be procured from stores, pharmaceuticals, and suppliers through mail order.

Colloidal silver is known to have a profound effect in protection against infectious and pathogenic micro-organisms such as viruses, fungi, and bacteria. The metallic silver ions act as potent inhibitors of enzymes involved in the oxidative metabolism of the microorganisms. The pathogens are destroyed, after which the debris is eliminated by the immune system. Studies have demonstrated that while a broad-spectrum antibiotic is effective against a dozen pathogens, colloidal silver can be successfully used against nearly 650 types of pathogenic organisms.

Colloidal silver has been used for healing in Eastern medicine. Ayurvedic, Chinese, and Homeopathic practitioners use this as an essential ingredient in the formulations. It stimulates growth, enhances oxygenation, and regeneration of cells forming bones, skin, and other soft tissues. It is known to improve the flow and drainage of the lymph necessary for maintaining a functional immune system and to eliminate toxins.

Colloidal silver has been used widely to treat skin ailments such as rashes and to provide relief from sinusitis and ear infections. Topic applications have been recommended for cuts and abrasions and for the regeneration of the skin tissue in burn victims. It is considered as a safe, non-toxic substance frequently used as an antiseptic for babies and in veterinary practice.

It is a good practice to carry colloidal silver while traveling or camping. It is known to be harmless, non-allergenic, and non-caustic. One ounce of colloidal silver added to a quart of water guarantees the safety of the water for ingestion. Other areas where the benefits of colloidal silver are being perceived are agriculture and dairy farms.
