Here is an update on the following topics for Emergency Meditation:
Drought in southern Africa and new armyworm invasion in Malawi and surrounding areas
Over the past years, 45 million people in southern Africa are facing severe food shortages due to drought, flooding and economic decay.
https://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/news/africa/Drought-and-hunger-stalk-southern-Africa/4552902-5431538-esltgn/index.html
Countries affected include Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe, with Zimbabwe being the hardest hit by drought.
The region could have a long period of drought, then a heavy rainfall that destroys all the remaining good crops as well as damages to buildings and people.
Meanwhile, Malawi is also suffering from a new wave of locusts/armyworm caterpillars’ invasion, after the previous one in 2017.

This new invasion has hit as many as 467,000 farmers in all 28 farming districts in Malawi, which has been declared state of disaster. Around 144,000 hectares of crops have been affected, which is nearly triple that of 2017.
Sorghum, millet, rice, and corn are the crops being affected.
This armyworm invasion is going to worsen the food insecurity situation in Malawi, as well as the whole African continent and the world.

To counter this invasion, the government is distributing pesticides to help the farmers to control the infestation. However, this is only effective to a certain extent and there are currently not enough planes to cover all areas.
Therefore, we suggest to include this situation in the Emergency Meditation to visualize the weather in southern Africa being more favorable for crop growing and visualize the locusts invasion being stopped completely with the White Fire of AN. Also, visualize the people in the region being free from fear of starvation.
Turkey earthquakes
A magnitude-6.8 quake struck eastern Turkey at the evening of Friday, January 24th local time. Tremors were also felt in neighboring Syria, Lebanon, Iran and as far as Tel Aviv, Israel.

Emergency teams have set up more than 9,500 tents and distributed 17,000 hot meals for displaced residents.
We suggest to include this situation in Emergency Meditation as well. Visualize people of affected areas being provided with all necessities and medical care. Visualize all missing people being found and rescue, and communities returning to their normal lives as quickly as possible.

Although there isn ’ t a defined cure , diabetes can be managed with diet and lifestyle and , often , medication .
One way to boost its management is with essential oils for diabetes , used in various ways to improve insulin sensitivity , manage body composition , and improve overall digestive wellness .
Diabetes is one of the more widespread metabolic , chronic illnesses of our time .

( 3 ) It ’ s important to have an understanding of the disease itself before we adjust our habits and supplemental efforts in response .
For example , if you are using an essential oil with the goal of improving insulin sensitivity for type 2 diabetes , understanding that exercise can have a similar and even more potent result will help you make safe choices and avoid bottoming out .

For the diabetic who now focuses their lifestyle toward managing both the causes and symptoms of the disease , having such a versatile toolkit can be a lifeline .
Here are some of the most useful essential oils for diabetes .

There are multiple varieties of the Cinnamon tree , including C. cassia , which we usually refer to as simply cassia when used for its essential oil .

” ( 6 ) The researchers pointed to pancreatic support as the likely mechanism leading to the blood sugar benefits .
We don ’ t have an exact directive from studies and research to tell us how to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wellness , but we can glean some helpful tidbits : • Internal use seems to be the most effective .
• Cinnamon in all forms appears to lower blood sugar .
Takeaway : Cinnamon essential oil may join the diabetic ’ s arsenal of culinary weapons against glucose .
One or two drops for an entire day is a safe and sufficient amount – dilute it into a lipid and include it in recipes .
Remember , cinnamon is a strong oil and can be an irritant if not used properly .
Be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when using cinnamon in any form , and consult with your doctor before adjusting medication .
Your body might just respond a little TOO well to cinnamon ’ s strengths !
One of the most intriguing things about essential oils for diabetes is the effect of synergy , which is the phenomenon in which combinations of oils work together to make even stronger effects .
That ’ s why we ’ re so frequently making blends and formulas of essential oils for diabetes rather than just using one here and another there .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
One prominent study out of Georgetown in 2005 took note of the benefits of synergy when they studied essential oils for diabetes .

Like cinnamon , some herbs and their essential oil are simply regarded as anti-diabetic .
Those are the words anyone with a diagnosis or pre-diagnosis of diabetes wants to hear !

The results of this study in particular were published in 2010 with exciting news .

Ultimately , the researchers concluded that Melissa “ administered at low concentrations is an efficient hypoglycaemic agent , probably due to enhanced glucose uptake and metabolism.

ESSENTIAL OILS FOR DIABETES AND THE BODY

If you have type 2 diabetes your body does not use insulin properly. This is called insulin resistance. At first, your pancreas makes extra insulin to make up for it. But, over time it isn’t able to keep up and can’t make enough insulin to keep your blood glucose at normal levels. (2)

In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin. The body breaks down the sugars and starches you eat into a simple sugar called glucose, which it uses for energy. Insulin is a hormone that the body needs to get glucose from the bloodstream into the cells of the body. (3)
It’s important to have an understanding of the disease itself before we adjust our habits and supplemental efforts in response. For example, if you are using an essential oil with the goal of improving insulin sensitivity for type 2 diabetes, understanding that exercise can have a similar and even more potent result will help you make safe choices and avoid bottoming out. On the other hand, if you are a type 1 diabetic, no amount of insulin sensitivity will correct a lack of insulin.
Therefore, the information in this article is relevant to type 2 diabetics specifically and, when I state to “diabetes,” I refer to type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes can have very serious and life-threatening complications, from poor wound healing to cardiovascular events. Never adjust your medications without the guidance of your physician, and if you suspect you may be diabetic, schedule a consult with your doctor right away.

Most of us are already familiar with substances that are beneficial for insulin sensitivity, with powdered cinnamon topping the list of kitchen remedies to help deal with blood sugar and diabetes.

Essential oils for diabetes are best used as integrative components of our wellness routines. For the diabetic who now focuses their lifestyle toward managing both the causes and symptoms of the disease, having such a versatile toolkit can be a lifeline.
Here are some of the most useful essential oils for diabetes.
6 WAYS TO USE ESSENTIAL OILS FOR DIABETES MANAGEMENT
1. CULINARY CINNAMON ESSENTIAL OIL
Probably the most researched of the essential oils for diabetes relief, cinnamon in general refers to a group of trees whose leaves or inner bark are distilled for its essential oil or the bark harvested as a spice. There are multiple varieties of the Cinnamon tree, including C. cassia, which we usually refer to as simply cassia when used for its essential oil.
The most heavily researched “angle” for cinnamon and diabetes is that of the powdered spice, with a great deal of focus placed on it for pancreatic support, glucose lowering, weight loss, and general diabetes prevention and management. (5)
Research of essential oils for diabetes is moving through the best applications and preparations, though, and essential oils have made their appearance in the literature. In 2013, an evaluation of cinnamon leaf essential oil found that “all tested doses of [cinnamon essential oil] significantly lowered fasting blood glucose and fructosamine.” (6) The researchers pointed to pancreatic support as the likely mechanism leading to the blood sugar benefits.
We don’t have an exact directive from studies and research to tell us how to maximize cinnamon’s potential for diabetic wellness, but we can glean some helpful tidbits:
Internal use seems to be the most effective.
Cinnamon in all forms appears to lower blood sugar.
A little dab’ll do!
Takeaway: Cinnamon essential oil may join the diabetic’s arsenal of culinary weapons against glucose. One or two drops for an entire day is a safe and sufficient amount – dilute it into a lipid and include it in recipes. Remember, cinnamon is a strong oil and can be an irritant if not used properly.
Be sure to monitor your blood sugar carefully when using cinnamon in any form, and consult with your doctor before adjusting medication. Your body might just respond a little TOO well to cinnamon’s strengths!
2. BLENDED ESSENTIAL OILS FOR DIABETES FOR INSULIN SENSITIVITY
One of the most intriguing things about essential oils for diabetes is the effect of synergy, which is the phenomenon in which combinations of oils work together to make even stronger effects. That’s why we’re so frequently making blends and formulas of essential oils for diabetes rather than just using one here and another there. Teamwork makes the dream work, right?
One prominent study out of Georgetown in 2005 took note of the benefits of synergy when they studied essential oils for diabetes. Instead of isolating a single oil for their research, they experimented with blends of multiple oils that have been suggested as beneficial essential oils for diabetes. Oils named in the summary included (7):
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum)
Cinnamon ( Cinnamomum zeylanicum)
Cumin (Cuminum cyminum)
Oregano (Origanum vulgare)
The essential oils for diabetes blends were able to improve insulin sensitivity when taken internally, which can be replicated by including oil blends diluted into a carrier and consumed in capsules, drinks, and recipes.
As a side note, surely it’s no accident that culinary herbs play a role in improving the way we digest and use food! God’s medicine has been right there around our dinner plates all along!
Takeaway: As you discover oils that can be a) used internally and b) used to improve causes like insulin sensitivity or symptoms of any sort, experiment with blends! Pre-mix your dilution by adding a few drops each of the oils you’d like to blend into a 5 ml or 10 ml bottle of a carrier oil.
3. MELISSA ESSENTIAL OIL FOR GLUCOSE REGULATION
Like cinnamon, some herbs and their essential oil are simply regarded as anti-diabetic. Those are the words anyone with a diagnosis or pre-diagnosis of diabetes wants to hear! Let’s fight this disease right at its core, where the body stops short of breaking down glucose into usable energy.
Like most early research, Melissa essential oil was tested on mice for precise tracking of its actions and potential benefits. Lab tests can first tell us the composition of oils, then how it is generally received in a body, and later how the human body responds in various circumstances.
The results of this study in particular were published in 2010 with exciting news. Of the mice that received a low-dose, heavily diluted amount of Melissa essential oil, markers of diabetes were reduced in multiple facets. Ultimately, the researchers concluded that Melissa “administered at low concentrations is an efficient hypoglycaemic agent, probably due to enhanced glucose uptake and metabolism.”(8)
Once more, we see that it only takes minute amounts of these potent digestive health oils to make a potentially substantial difference for those battling blood sugar imbalances by using essential oils for diabetes.
Takeaway: One drop is plenty, included in blends or diluted on its own for digestive assistance and potential glucose regulation. As with all hypoglycemic/anti-diabetic substances, be sure to monitor your levels carefully and work with your doctor closely.
4. KOREAN PINE FOR A NEW SCENT WITH STRONG BENEFITS
Moving away from the expected culinary herbs and their essential oil content, it seems you can still maintain anti-diabetic benefits while also branching out. Still very much in the foundational levels of research, Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) has also exhibited potential for diabetes relief.
In the same vein as the Christmas favorite and year ‘round healer fir essential oil, Korean pine essential oil comes from the needles of an evergreen pine tree. It’s woodsy and grounding, the perfect addition to a blend of anti-diabetic oils we’ve looked at so far.
Researchers tackled this oil in 2013, very much in vitro, by injecting the oil into lab mice. The results were promising, with effects on the body that led to improved glucose levels. (9) We won’t be injecting essential oils, of course, but this demonstrates the wide range of oil types that may be part of our anti-diabetes toolkit.
Takeaway: Don’t feel restricted with your diabetes-fighting blends! Look for oils like Korean Pine to mix up your approach. If it can’t be taken internally, enjoy diffusion or direct inhalation to begin to introduce the oil into your routine.
5. USING ESSENTIAL OILS FOR DIABETES FOR SIDE EFFECTS OF DIABETES
This is where we really get to play with essential oils for diabetes and the diabetic management lifestyle. Diabetes is so much more than how cookies or cakes are used by the body. Any time nutrient use is involved, the whole body is affected. Complications of diabetes can include:
Heart health
Oral health
Respiratory health
Skin health
Immune health
In other words, diabetes is a case study in the ways that each body system is intertwined with the others.
Using what we know about essential oils for diabetes to boost these systems and potential complications, we can counter the effects of diabetes while managing the source of the issue with medication, diet, and lifestyle.
We can take this to its logical end and get creative with skin health and healing oils, oils for oral health, clear breathing oils, and antimicrobials. For a more specific look at how essential oils for diabetes comprise complementary therapy, a systematic review had this to say about research that has been conducted:
Essential oils can be used to reduce the side effects of some complication (ulcer: loss of skin integrity) and to reduce that often take longer to resolve than in non diabetic patients. Essential oil[s] can also ameliorate the stress of the coping with a lifelong chronic condition such as diabetes. (10)
The applications are endless here. If you or a loved one is diabetic, learn all you can about the various uses of essential oils for diabetes, and begin to incorporate them into your life. The healing, restorative, and preventative benefits can quickly become your most trusted ally.
Takeaway: Diabetes complications can occur throughout the body, and essential oils can help to counter these issues and support the body’s intended processes. Look for anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and stress relieving oils as a start to your essential oil “medicine” cabinet.
6. QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENT FOR KIDS WITH DIABETES
Let’s not forget the kids who are impacted by diabetes. As a primarily genetic disorder, diabetes isn’t about who ate too much cake as they got older. Kids are affected to the tune of thousands, and many of them spend their lives in and out of doctor’s offices getting poked and prodded, not to mention those who receive daily injections.
Very recently, published in August 2015, researchers published findings on the use of essential oils for diabetes to help relieve some of this stress and physical pain for kids with diabetes. Thankfully (and hardly surprising), markers for pain relief were noticeable thanks to diffused orange and lavender oils. (11)
Incidentally, these oils are notable for their anxiety-relieving properties, as well, which only contributes to quality of life for kids who are faced with more than their little lives should have to deal with.
Takeaway: Diffusion of oils can help with anxiety relief and even direct pain relief, and even the most gentle of oils can be potent for this purpose. Diffuse oils during times when painful or frustrating procedures are necessary, or place drops on a handkerchief or other personal inhaler to “sniff” when needed.

But even red-hot online sales cooled off late in the year as consumers turned sour.
Consumers in the UK, generally a hardy bunch when it comes to borrowing and shopping, were not in a shopping mood before the holidays. Retail sales in December at non-food brick-and-mortar stores – ranging from specialty stores to department stores – fell 1.6% compared to December last year, seasonally adjusted, according to the UK’s Office for National Statistics (ONS). The less volatile three-month moving average fell 1.1% year-over-year, the biggest decline since September 2009, when consumers were trying to clamber out of the Financial Crisis:
The decline in December caused the non-food brick-and-mortar index to drop to its lowest level since June 2018. And it’s down 3.2% since its peak in July 2019, an indication of just how fast retail sales have deteriorated in the second half of the year:
Even sales at food stores fell 1.7% year-over-year in December. But gasoline sales rose 4.7%, on higher fuel prices.
Even red-hot online sales cooled off in the second half.
Online sales – including sales by the online divisions of brick-and-mortar retailers – had skyrocketed 18.4% in the seven months from December 2018 through July 2019, to a huge all-time record, but have since fallen off, in another sign of retail weakness in the second half, reducing the 12-month growth from December 2018 through December 2019 to “just” 13.3%:
Online sales in the UK now account for 19% of total retail sales. The biggest gains were in the household goods sector whose online sales surged 23% year-over-year in December. This rapid shift to online retail poses a major threat to the viability of many brick-and-mortar stores that have failed in building a vibrant and large online business.
All combined, including online sales, fuel sales, and grocery sales, total retail sales have fallen 1.6% from the peak in July 2019 – due to the weakness in the second half – but eked out a year-over-year gain of 1.5%.
Why this sudden slow-down in retail sales in the second half?
The British Retail Consortium — which focuses on brick-and-mortar stores and doesn’t cover big online retailers, such as Amazon — hammered the uncertainty surrounding Brexit:
“2019 was the worst year on record and the first year to show an overall decline in [brick-and-mortar] retail sales. This was also reflected in the CVAs, shop closures and job losses that the industry suffered in 2019. Twice the UK faced the prospect of a no deal Brexit, as well as political instability that concluded in a December General Election – further weakening demand for the festive period.”
“We’ve had the perfect storm in recent years,” says Martin Newman, a former multichannel operator for Ted Baker, Harrods and Burberry. “The political uncertainty has fueled a fall in consumer confidence and a subsequent tightening of belts.”
And lots of bankrupt companies. The highest profile collapses in 2019 included Thomas Cook, the world’s oldest travel agent that collapsed in late September, leaving 600,000 travelers stranded abroad. It was placed into compulsory liquidation, resulting in an estimated 6,500 job losses in the UK alone.
The brick-and-mortar meltdown.
Some of the biggest retailers that collapsed include:
Debenhams , the department store that has graced British high streets for over 200 years and which was put through a “pre-packaged” administration in April. Around 4,000 members of staff were laid off. The store continues to trade after its creditors took control of the business, but is struggling to reinvent itself and just revealed plans for 19 more store closures this month.

By The Associated Press,
LONDON — So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu.
With little fuss and not much fanfare, Britain left the European Union on Friday after 47 years of membership, taking a leap into the unknown in a historic blow to the bloc.
The UK’s departure became official at 11 p.m., midnight in Brussels, where the EU is headquartered. Thousands of enthusiastic Brexit supporters gathered outside Britain’s Parliament cheered as the hour struck. They had been hoping for this moment since Britain’s 52-48 percent vote in June 2016 to walk away from the club it had joined in 1973.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson called Britain’s departure “a moment of real national renewal and change.”
But many Britons mourned the loss of their EU identity, and some marked the passing with tearful vigils. There was also sadness in Brussels as British flags were quietly removed from the bloc’s many buildings.
Whether Brexit makes Britain a proud nation that has reclaimed its sovereignty, or a diminished presence in Europe and the world, will be debated for years to come.
While Britain’s exit is a historic moment, it only marks the end of the first stage of the Brexit saga. When Britons wake up on Saturday, they will notice very little change. The UK and the EU have given themselves an 11-month “transition period” — in which the UK will continue to follow the bloc’s rules — to strike new agreements on trade, security and a host of other areas.
The now 27-member EU will have to bounce back from one of its biggest setbacks in its 62-year history to confront an ever more complicated world as its former member becomes a competitor, just across the English Channel.
French President Emmanuel Macron called Brexit a “historic alarm signal” that should force the EU to improve itself.
“It’s a sad day, let’s not hide it,” he said in a televised address. “But it is a day that must also lead us to do things differently.”
He insisted that European citizens need a united Europe “more than ever,” to defend their interests in the face of China and the United States, to cope with climate change and migration and technological upheaval.
In the many EU buildings of Brussels on Friday, British flags were quietly lowered, folded and taken away. This is the first time a country has left the EU, and many in the bloc rued the day. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen lamented that “as the sun rises tomorrow a new chapter for our union of 27 will start.”
But she warned Brexit day would mark a major loss for the UK and said the island nation was heading for a lonelier existence.
“Strength does not lie in splendid isolation, but in our unique union,” she said.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson insisted post-Brexit Britain would be “simultaneously a great European power and truly global in our range and ambitions.”
“We want this to be the beginning of a new era of friendly cooperation between the EU and an energetic Britain,” Johnson said in a pre-recorded address to the country broadcast an hour before Britain’s exit.
In a break with usual practice, independent media outlets were not allowed to film Johnson’s speech, which the government recorded Thursday at 10 Downing St.
Johnson won an election victory in December with a dual promise to “get Brexit done” and deliver improved jobs, infrastructure and services for Britain’s most deprived areas, where support for leaving the EU is strongest. On Friday, he symbolically held a Cabinet meeting in the pro-Brexit town of Sunderland in northeast England, rather than in London.
Johnson is a Brexit enthusiast, but he knows many Britons aren’t, and his Conservative government aimed to mark the moment with quiet dignity. Red, white and blue lights illuminated government buildings and a countdown clock projected onto the prime minister’s Downing Street residence.
There was no such restraint in nearby Parliament Square, where arch-Brexiteer Nigel Farage gathered a crowd of several thousand, who belted out the patriotic song “Land of Hope and Glory” as they awaited a moment that even Farage sometimes doubted would ever come.

Londoner Donna Jones said she had come to “be part of history.”
“It doesn’t mean we’re anti-Europe, it just means we want to be self-sufficient in a certain way,” she said.
But Britons who cherished their membership in the bloc — and the freedom it bought to live anywhere across of 28 countries — were mourning.
“Many of us want to just mark our sadness in public,” said Ann Jones, who joined dozens of other remainers on a march to the EU’s mission in London.
“And we don’t want trouble, we just want to say, well you know, we didn’t want this.”
Britain’s journey to Brexit has been long, rocky — and far from over.
The UK was never a wholehearted EU member, but actually leaving the bloc was long considered a fringe idea. It gradually gained strength within the Conservative Party, which has a wing of fierce “euroskeptics” — opponents of EU membership. Former Prime Minister David Cameron eventually agreed to hold a referendum, saying he wanted to settle the issue once and for all.
It hasn’t worked out that way. Since the 2016 vote, the UK has held fractious negotiations with the EU that finally, late last year, secured a deal on divorce terms. But Britain is leaving the bloc arguably as divided as it was on referendum day.
By and large, Britain’s big cities voted to stay in the EU, while small towns voted to leave. England and Wales backed Brexit, while Northern Ireland and Scotland voted to remain.
Candlelit vigils were held in several Scottish cities, government buildings in Edinburgh were lit up in the EU’s blue and yellow colors, and the bloc’s flag continued to fly outside the Scottish Parliament.
Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said Brexit “will be a moment of profound sadness for many of us across the UK.”
“And here in Scotland, given that it is happening against the will of the vast majority of us, that sadness will be tinged with anger,” she said in a speech in Edinburgh.
Sturgeon’s Scottish National Party government is demanding the right to hold a referendum on independence from the UK, something Johnson refuses to grant.
London, which is home to more than 1 million EU citizens, also voted by a wide margin to stay in the bloc.
Mayor Sadiq Khan said he was “heartbroken” about Brexit. But he insisted London would remain that welcomed all, regardless of “the color of your skin, the color of your flag, the color of your passport.”
Negotiations between Britain and the EU on their new relationship are due to start in earnest in March, and the early signs are not encouraging. The EU says Britain can’t have full access to the EU’s single market unless it follows the bloc’s rules, but Britain insists it will not agree to follow an EU rule book in return for unfettered trade.
With Johnson adamant he won’t extend the transition period beyond Dec. 31, months of uncertainty and acrimony lie ahead.

A new study in Alzheimer ’ s disease ( AD ) patients using dietary supplementation with a unique saturated fat has confirmed earlier research that a non-drug based approach can stabilize and even improve a degenerative disease whose symptoms are usually managed with drugs and not cured .
Published in the journal Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment and titled “ Retrospective case studies of the efficacy of caprylic triglyceride in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer ’ s disease , ” [ i ] this exploratory study sought to test whether caprylic acid triglycerides ( CT ) – a type of fat found naturally in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of coconut and palm kernel oil – would improve the condition of mild-to-moderately afflicted AD patients .
The researchers noted that , “ The limitations of current pharmacotherapy have prompted interest in diet and dietary supplementation as part of the overall treatment regimen for patients with AD.
” The researchers reviewed the case records of eight patients with extensive monitoring of cognitive function using the Mini-Mental State Examination ( MMSE ) and who had received on average 20 grams a day of CT for at least 6 months .
The patients were at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ undergoing conventional drug-based therapy for AD of mild-to-moderate severity ( MMSE 14-24 ) .
Caprylic acid is commonly isolated from coconut oil .
One cup ( 218 grams ) contains approximately 16.3 grams , according to NutritionData.com ’ s coconut oil nutrition facts .

A new study in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients using dietary supplementation with a unique saturated fat has confirmed earlier research that a non-drug based approach can stabilize and even improve a degenerative disease whose symptoms are usually managed with drugs and not cured.
Published in the journal Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment and titled “Retrospective case studies of the efficacy of caprylic triglyceride in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease,” [i] this exploratory study sought to test whether caprylic acid triglycerides (CT) – a type of fat found naturally in the milk of mammals and a constituent of coconut and palm kernel oil – would improve the condition of mild-to-moderately afflicted AD patients.
The researchers noted that, “The limitations of current pharmacotherapy have prompted interest in diet and dietary supplementation as part of the overall treatment regimen for patients with AD.”
The researchers reviewed the case records of eight patients with extensive monitoring of cognitive function using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and who had received on average 20 grams a day of CT for at least 6 months. The patients were at least 50 years of age, were undergoing conventional drug-based therapy for AD of mild-to-moderate severity (MMSE 14-24).
Caprylic acid is commonly isolated from coconut oil. One cup (218 grams) contains approximately 16.3 grams, according to NutritionData.com’s coconut oil nutrition facts. While the prospect of consuming over a cup of coconut oil in order to obtain the 20 gram ‘clinical dose’ used in this study may be unappealing, consider that preclinical research on whole coconut oil, which contains other beneficial medium chain triglycerides, is quite encouraging, and that generally speaking one needs to take less of the whole food complex in order to obtain the kind of therapeutic effect observed in one of its isolated components.
The results of the 8-person case study revealed that 2 patients experienced disease stabilization and 2 saw modest improvement, i.e. the CT actually reversed the disease trajectory, with a reduction in symptoms corresponding directly with the initiation of the dietary intervention.
The researchers concluded:
“Results from this case review study indicated that addition of CT to pharmacotherapy for AD was associated with stable disease or improvement for some patients. In particular, addition of CT seemed to have slowed the rate of decline, as measured by MMSE scores, compared with rates of decline reported in larger longitudinal studies. These findings warrant further investigation in a larger study.”
This study has profound implications for the estimated 5.4 million people in the U.S. diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, and who are presently taking a class of drugs (cholinesterase inhibitors and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists) that have been linked to a wide range of side effects including seizures and may fail to outperform basic plant therapies such as turmeric, saffron and ginkgo biloba.
The basic premise behind the use of caprylic acid in Alzheimer’s disease is that it addresses region-specific decreases in cerebral glucose metabolism characteristic of the disease. Caprylic acid releases ketone bodies which can be used as an alternative fuel source by the brain during periods of low glucose availability. Semi-miraculous recoveries have been reported anecdotally, and even within the peer-reviewed medical literature, a 2004 study published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging found near immediate improvements in cognition and memory within 20 Alzheimer’s patients who received a single 40 ml (2.7 tablespoon) dose of medium chain triglycerides. Read our article “MCT Fats Found in Coconut Oil Boost Brain Function In Only One Dose” to learn more.
As we have touched upon recently in an article about ‘The Grain That Damages The Human Brain,’ there is increasing recognition among the medical community that dietary interventions and/or modifications are not of secondary importance in treating brain disorders, but constitute – as Hippocrates once taught – an essential element in treating and even reversing chronic, degenerative conditions that are for the most part refractory to conventional, drug-based treatment. This new study adds to a now substantial body of data that Thomas Edison was absolutely correct:
“The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.”

prepareforchange--2020-01-31--Here’s how Israel’s borders would change if Trump’s peace plan is enacted

Israel ’ s current borders , compared to how they would look if Trump ’ s peace plan were enacted .
At the same time gives Israel the perception of having the “ moral high ground ” in front of the international community to immediately “ start annexing anything Israel wants ” under the excuse that “ The Palestinians rejected a ‘ peace plan ’ therefore they are not ready to have a State of their own ” .
Trump ’ s ‘ deal of the century ’ won ’ t bring peace – that was the plan- it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to scape justice out of his legal troubles of corruption by increasing his chances of winning a 3 rd round of the upcoming Israeli elections within a year .
President Trump on Tuesday unveiled what he has called the “ Deal of the Century ” — a peace proposal for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict .
The Trump/Netanyahu annexation peace plan “ was written with the clear intention of getting the Palestinians to reject it.
” The scheme ’ s real aim “ will lead to Israel gradually taking control over the entire West Bank.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ nastiness is not an accident or a blunder .
It ’ s just part of the annexation plan .
“ Israel will apply its laws to the Jordan Valley and to the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.
” That ’ s the definition of annexation .
This is an annexation plan , not a plan for peace .
Basically , the plan doesn ’ t provide hope but total surrender to the Palestinians !
In a nut shell , Trump ’ s fake ‘ peace plan ’ is permanent apartheid for Palestine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Trump administration , believes that this plan will lead to peace .
A more realistic concern is how quickly it will pave the way to greater bloodshed .
The 180-page plan goes into great detail about how the land swaps would go — and you can read our summary by clicking here .
One of the toughest issues in past negotiations has been who controls which lands .
In Trump ’ s plan , Israel would keep control over its West Bank settlements and its borders with Jordan and most of Egypt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ future state of Palestine some of the West Bank , Arab communities in the north of what ’ s now Israel , and vast stretches of the Negev Desert .
All of the Palestinian land would technically be connected , though some of it only by narrow roads ( or a record-setting West Bank-to-Gaza tunnel ) .
This diagram shows how the land would change : And here you can see more details about the future state of Palestine : Donald Trump called the plan “ win-win , ” though to whom the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The first Win is undoubtedly Israel ’ s , of whom the only thing that is being asked is a four-year settlement freeze while Palestinian statehood is negotiated .
Outside this exhausting demand to do less , Israel gets : all ( or near enough ) its settlements , all of Jerusalem , control over borders , uncontested military control over the whole area of historic Palestine , some one-third of the West Bank and the removal of any possibility that Palestinians who were expelled in 1948 could ever claim a right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lands and homes and years that were stolen from them .
It is little wonder that a beaming Benjamin Netanyahu , the incumbent Israeli prime minister who stood next to Trump as he presented the plan , looked more smug than ever .

” Indeed .
No one could sum up better than Netanyahu how much is wrong with the plan .
It has precisely nothing to do with the Palestinians , who have been reduced to the kind of bit players their status – in the eyes of those who came up with and support this plan – as second-class people restricts them to .
Palestinians don ’ t go entirely empty-handed .

This must be what Jared Kushner meant about economic advancement .
The Palestinians also might look forward to a resort area on the northern Dead Sea .
With details like these , it is easy to see how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The plan , of course , is unworkable .
It is a non-starter as the Palestinians have said all along .
It violates every red line the Palestinian Authority has stipulated , every principle the Palestine Liberation Organization signed onto in 1993 and every resolution of international law .
It cements a situation in which one set of people retains control over another without being responsible for upholding their rights .
No Palestinian leader could accept it .
No Palestinian leader will accept it .
Any Arab leader who is seen to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Authority officials – Mahmoud Abbas , the PA leader , called it the “ slap of the century ” – and Hamas spokespeople predictably rejected the plan out of hand .

B ’ Tselem , an Israeli human rights group , said the plan changed nothing .
“ What the Palestinians are being ‘ offered ’ right now is not rights or a state , but a permanent state of apartheid.

”

Israel’s current borders, compared to how they would look if Trump’s peace plan were enacted.
At the same time gives Israel the perception of having the “moral high ground” in front of the international community to immediately “start annexing anything Israel wants” under the excuse that “The Palestinians rejected a ‘peace plan’ therefore they are not ready to have a State of their own”.
Trump’s ‘deal of the century’ won’t bring peace – that was the plan- it is a useful tool to help embattled Netanyahu to scape justice out of his legal troubles of corruption by increasing his chances of winning a 3 rd round of the upcoming Israeli elections within a year .
President Trump on Tuesday unveiled what he has called the “Deal of the Century” — a peace proposal for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The Trump/Netanyahu annexation peace plan “was written with the clear intention of getting the Palestinians to reject it.” The scheme’s real aim “will lead to Israel gradually taking control over the entire West Bank.”
So Jared Kushner’s anti-Palestinian nastiness is not an accident or a blunder. It’s just part of the annexation plan.
“Israel will apply its laws to the Jordan Valley and to the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.” That’s the definition of annexation. This is an annexation plan, not a plan for peace.
Basically, the plan doesn’t provide hope but total surrender to the Palestinians! In a nut shell, Trump’s fake ‘peace plan’ is permanent apartheid for Palestine.
No one, least of all the Trump administration, believes that this plan will lead to peace. A more realistic concern is how quickly it will pave the way to greater bloodshed.
The 180-page plan goes into great detail about how the land swaps would go — and you can read our summary by clicking here.
One of the toughest issues in past negotiations has been who controls which lands. In Trump’s plan, Israel would keep control over its West Bank settlements and its borders with Jordan and most of Egypt. In return, it gives the future state of Palestine some of the West Bank, Arab communities in the north of what’s now Israel, and vast stretches of the Negev Desert. All of the Palestinian land would technically be connected, though some of it only by narrow roads (or a record-setting West Bank-to-Gaza tunnel). This diagram shows how the land would change:
And here you can see more details about the future state of Palestine:
Donald Trump called the plan “win-win,” though to whom the second win goes is hard to say.
The first Win is undoubtedly Israel’s, of whom the only thing that is being asked is a four-year settlement freeze while Palestinian statehood is negotiated.
Outside this exhausting demand to do less, Israel gets: all (or near enough) its settlements, all of Jerusalem, control over borders, uncontested military control over the whole area of historic Palestine, some one-third of the West Bank and the removal of any possibility that Palestinians who were expelled in 1948 could ever claim a right of return or even compensation for the lands and homes and years that were stolen from them.
It is little wonder that a beaming Benjamin Netanyahu, the incumbent Israeli prime minister who stood next to Trump as he presented the plan, looked more smug than ever.
“For too long,” Netanyahu said in his remarks after Trump had delivered (boy, did he deliver), “the very heart of the land of Israel, where our patriarchs prayed, our prophets preached and our kings ruled has been outrageously branded as illegally occupied territory. Well today, Mr. President, you are puncturing this big lie.”
Indeed. No one could sum up better than Netanyahu how much is wrong with the plan. It has precisely nothing to do with the Palestinians, who have been reduced to the kind of bit players their status – in the eyes of those who came up with and support this plan – as second-class people restricts them to.
The other “win”
Palestinians don’t go entirely empty-handed. Their overlords have granted them “statehood.” Over more than twice as much land as they currently control. Practically swapping vast areas of Prime central Palestinian, rich, costal & densely populated territories for patches of distant arid & dead wastelands.
That at least is the breathless reporting that infected initial reports on the plan’s announcement, though no one stopped to ask the obvious: two times nothing is?
According to the plan, the issue of territory was worked out “in the spirit of UN [Security Council Resolution] 242.” But that would suggest some kind of adherence to 1967 boundaries. Judging by the “conceptual maps” of the plan’s appendix, it is hard to see that the 1967 boundaries were even considered.
Indeed, the priority, as the plan makes clear, is Israel’s security. Hence Palestinians get no control over borders in and out of the West Bank.
Nor do the maps indicate in what sense Jerusalem becomes both the unified capital of Israel while also becoming Palestine’s capital of “Al-Quds [including] areas of East Jerusalem.”
In lieu of compensation, a “Trump Economic Plan” will benefit refugees already present and those who are absorbed into the “State of Palestine” or the “Palestine Empire” or “Greater Palestine” or whatever the Palestinians want to call it, a series of non-contiguous areas that would be connected by bridges, tunnels and roads.
We get roads! This must be what Jared Kushner meant about economic advancement.
The Palestinians also might look forward to a resort area on the northern Dead Sea.
With details like these, it is easy to see how the Trump plan runs to 180 pages.
Unworkable
The plan, of course, is unworkable. It is a non-starter as the Palestinians have said all along.
It violates every red line the Palestinian Authority has stipulated, every principle the Palestine Liberation Organization signed onto in 1993 and every resolution of international law.
It cements a situation in which one set of people retains control over another without being responsible for upholding their rights.
No Palestinian leader could accept it. No Palestinian leader will accept it. Any Arab leader who is seen to support it will be tainted.
It’s worse than a joke. It’s an insult.
Palestinian Authority officials – Mahmoud Abbas, the PA leader, called it the “slap of the century”– and Hamas spokespeople predictably rejected the plan out of hand.
Others, too, were scathing.
B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights group, said the plan changed nothing.
“What the Palestinians are being ‘offered’ right now is not rights or a state, but a permanent state of apartheid.”
Matt Duss, foreign policy advisor for US presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, tweeted out his word of the day: “Bantustan,” and cautioned journalists to talk to “actual Palestinians.”

The resurgence of vulnerability.
I am Athena and I have a message for you. With the increase of rebalancing energies, the divine feminine within you all rises again. This will be indicated by your ability to re-embrace being vulnerable again.
To love and to divulge of oneself requires vulnerability for both partners. Your world has been invulnerable for so long because of your attack culture. As this subsides, and it is, a resurgence of the gentleness of the mind, the higher, finer energies bask your planet in their Light again, and your people experience more willingness to become vulnerable.
Vulnerability is not the state that you have defined it as. Vulnerability is not the state you see as being at risk. Vulnerability is a state of confidence where disclosure is undertaken in an exchange of refined energies. Your people have re-defined the original term and distorted its meaning to indicate something that is perishable through fear and attack. It is not. Vulnerability is strong, it is wise, and it is progressive. It is not perishable through fear-based states. This is not vulnerability. That is fear.
Many of your terms have been distorted by your minds that could not embrace the higher frequencies anymore, and as these frequencies return to your planet, redefinition of your words must begin anew.
Vulnerability is sweet. It is mutual. It is the route to higher understanding of the other’s expression.
Your world has been so harsh for so long and the delicate richness of expression has been lost to you in your fear-based states. These higher states have always been available to those who forsake fear in favour of the expression of love. You see this in your old literature. Fear cannot eradicate these higher frequencies of love. It will only leave them out of your grasp.
Refinement of your minds brings with it the ability to express at higher frequencies, and in so doing, relationships will take on renewed satisfaction, interaction will provide richness to your lives again. Your heretofore fear of divulging your deepest thoughts will leave you as your world continues its ascension to higher Light.
I am Athena. I loved your world once and now I have returned.
