"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go for it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. "
- Howard Thurman (1900-1981)
The world needs a lot of help. It needs beekeepers, herbalists, leaders and FAITH. Have you ever thought that you complain too much? If you complain about politics, get involved. If you complain about the medical insurance crisis, get involved and volunteer to serve on a committee in Washington DC. If you complain about the environment, do some online research, find out how you can GO GREEN, and make some changes in your everyday life.
The world needs you to get alive and involved. I sometimes get involved with too many things or projects at one time. I can handle many arts and crafts projects at the same time, but it gets a little too much for me when it is a world project. Last year I was talking to a patient about honey bees and Colony Collapse Disorder with populations of bees being wiped out. I got involved. I took a course by Chris Harp (http://www.honeybeelives.org/), read books, and now I am waiting for my nuclear family of Russian bees to arrive. I got alive and involved. I want you to get involved!!
The culinary spice thyme can be effective against parasites. There are many other actions of this herb, but today we focus on parasites. The active compounds in thyme are thymol, carvacrol and flavinoids. These are especially active against hookworms, roundworms, threadworms and even skin parasites. It also can kill fungal species such as Candida albicans, Aspergillus and Crytococcus.
Did you know that LISTERINE MOUTHWASH has thyme as a primary ingredient?!
Thyme in the mouthwash kills many bacteria and viruses.
Other anti-parasitic culinary herbs are fennel, cayenne, ginger, and garlic. Due to garlic's constituents allicin and ajoene, this herb kills many parasites. It also controls secondary fungal infections. I love garlic for its anti-microbial action against a wide range of bacteria. It also is effective against amoebas, especially Entamoeba histolytica.
You got to love that garlic !
Until tomorrow...
