After the Civil War, the literature faded from war times into stories of love, nature, depression, and more.

To my surprise I find it a somewhat well-furnished abode, occupied with what I remember, have heard recently, and observed. Ernest Hemingway...

On the other hand, a 2017 comprehensive review of CBD studies in psychiatric disorders found inconclusive results. According to the authors, there isn’t enough evidence to claim CBD as a treatment for depression. However, the authors do note positive results for anxiety disorders. Based on their review, more human tests are needed to better understand how it works, what ideal dosages should be, and if there are potential side effects or hazards.
I am thinking of trying CBD oil for my anxiety and insomnia. This has been ongoing since returning from Iraq a few years ago. I am now a Nursing student and feeling the lack of sleep now more than ever. I am currently taking Qualia and Organigi daily and off all prescription medications. I am already giving CBD to my old dog and it is helping her arthritis, just wanna cash in on this without it affecting my school negatively. What would be a good dosage for a 120 lb female to start at? I am very sensitive to medications and drugs, I even cut the Qualia dosage in half.
Did you get an answer for this? I have the exact same scenario. I'm treating my TN with Tegretol, and recently tried CBD. I think I took too much and there are some weird drug interactions with Tegretol and I felt quite stoned....was alone and talking to myself in my head thinking I was Einstein. It freaked me out a bit but I think I took too much. I'm trying lower doses again as recently my TN seems to be resisting the meds, although I have had a lot of emotional stress, which seems to be a trigger. Thanks!! Anna
If no effects are noticeable initially, increase your dosage every few days. It takes time for the compound to build up and affect the body. Other cannabinoids, such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), trigger almost immediate results (the previously mentioned “high”), but CBD’s effect is milder. Changes can take a few days to become apparent. Therefore, it's important that you stick with the same dosage for a few days before deciding to increase it.
Cost is another consideration. Most CBD oils are sold in concentrations of 300 to 750 mg, although this may range from less than 100 mg to more than 2,000. A good indicator of price-point is the cost per milligram. Low-cost CBD oils usually fall between five and 10 cents per mg; mid-range prices are 11 to 15 cents per mg; and higher-end oils cost 16 cents per mg or higher. Given these varying per-milligram costs, a bottle of CBD oil may be priced anywhere from $10 or less to $150 or more.
Nature’s Script also sells a pet CBD tincture in 150mg, 300mg, and 1,000mg concentrations. As a general rule of thumb, low-concentration oils are a good option for smaller dogs while larger concentrations may be more suitable for larger breeds – but pet owners should always check with their vet beforehand. In addition to standard shipping, Nature’s Script offers expedited delivery for customers in the contiguous U.S.
My question is specifically regarding CBD interactions with the endocannabinoid or limbic system and a mention made in your post regarding homeostasis. In April of this year I got a tube of "high CBD" oil which was foul tasting and made me gag. It did not sit well and my digestion went off. The company said that there was nothing wrong but by the end of the month I was in trouble. I stopped taking CBD and basically had an emotional breakdown. I went to a therapist to find out how and why I had basically lost homeostasis – precisely how I summarized my condition.
As noted in the previous section, CBD oil prices vary significantly by brand. The best practice for most is to determine a per-milligram budget for CBD oil, as well as a maximum price for the entire bottle. For example, you might decide that 10 cents per milligram or less is a reasonable budget; and that $45 (for a 450-mg concentration, based on the budget) is a maximum bottle price. Also, if ordering online, be sure to include potential shipping costs.
Collin, C., Ehler, E., Waberzinek, G., Alsindi, Z., Davies, P., Powell, K., Notcutt, W., O'Leary, C., Ratcliffe, S., Novakova, I., Zapletalova, O., Pikova, J., and Ambler, Z. A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study of Sativex, in subjects with symptoms of spasticity due to multiple sclerosis. Neurol.Res. 2010;32(5):451-459. View abstract.
I was in awe of CBD's potent effects, especially when I learned that the oil could be used to treat everyday ailments like anxiety, chronic pain, migraines, nausea, and inflammation in addition to serious issues like epilepsy, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's. With that, I threw caution to the wind and asked for a sample. Here's what happened when I took one full dropper of Charlotte's Web's Everyday Plus Hemp Oil in the mint chocolate flavor every morning for seven days.
Generally, new users start with one drop on the first day, to get an idea of how it affects them. Depending on the results, and what you’re using it for, you might thereafter take a lot more, or stay consistent. For anxiety, pain, and general health, around 2.5mg to 20mg is often recommended. For epilepsy, on the other hand, you might need as much as 200mg to 300mg.
Your dosage of CBD oil will depend on a lot of important factors, including your weight, age, lifestyle, personal preferences, medical history, gender, and others. It’s impossible to determine your dosage without a doctor, so be sure you consult them before taking any CBD oil. Generally, it’s best to start slowly with a small dosage and then increase it as needed.
“THC”—the more-famous, high-inducing compound in cannabis—“works directly on the cannabinoid system, meaning it attaches to receptors and mimics some of our own internal endocannabinoids,” says Igor Grant, a professor and chair of psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. But CBD’s interaction with the endocannabinoid system is subtler. “Normally, these endocannabinoid-signaling molecules are broken down by enzymes, and one thing CBD does is interfere with the actions of those enzymes.”
My Father passed away from Alzheimer’s. I wish I had known about this then. I said the whole time I wish I could talk “the retired fireman/veteran all around good guy” into smoking weed. I would have tried anything Alzheimer’s doesn’t play fair and nothing his Doctor prescribed ever helped or change symptoms for very long. He was anxious and regardless of what the dr’s said he was scared for two years until the very end when he given so much morphine he couldnt wake up anymore. TRY IT!
“I just felt good,” he adds. “But I wasn’t high at all.” Joliat’s anecdotal experience with CBD is a common one. Some informal polling suggests a lot of people today are at least vaguely familiar with cannabidiol, and have either used it themselves or know someone who has. But even some people who use it don’t seem to know exactly what it is or whether there’s any hard science out there to back up its benefits.
Studies using animal models of anxiety and involving healthy volunteers clearly suggest an anxiolytic-like effect of CBD. Cannabidiol has shown to reduce anxiety in patients with social anxiety disorder and researchers suggest that it may also be effective for panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. (7)
According to the medical tests and case studies, CBD can be safely administered to children. When it comes to the pediatric use of cannabidiol, it’s best to start with 5mg of CBD daily. This should be enough for your children to help them deal with post-traumatic anxiety or some milder, stress-related symptoms. But in some cases, where a child suffers from epilepsy, the dosage may reach up to 1500 mg daily.

CBD oils may contain some THC. Cannabis may impair your ability to drive safely or operate equipment and may have short- and long-term effects on your memory, attention, mood, heart rate, and mental health. It is also easy to overconsume CBD oil, so it's important to start with a low dose, as it may take several hours or longer to begin to feel the effects after consumption.
Recently a friend gave my 80 year old father a small bottle of 550 MG CBD Oil to help him with some chemo side effects. My father does not want it so he gave it to me as he knows I have restless legs at night with tiny little muscle spasms like little fireworks going off in both lower legs from the knee down when I lay down to go to sleep at night.

Super Eagles head coach Sunday Oliseh held talks with the 19-year-old winger at Melwood on Wednesday about his international future.
Bermondsey-born Ibe has represented England at under-18, 19 and 20 level but is eligible to play for the African nation as his dad David is from Nigeria.
However, while flattered by Nigeria’s desire to get him on board, the ECHO understands that the talented teenager is still hoping to launch an international career with England.

Ibe is expected to be named in Gareth Southgate’s England Under-21s squad for next month’s matches against USA and Norway.

Ibe has been Liverpool’s standout performer in pre-season and is expected to start in Sunday’s Premier League opener at Stoke City.

Effect of Loading Rate and Soil Amendments on Inorganic Nitrogen and Phosphorus Leached from a Wastewater Soil Absorption System1
- R. L. Uebler2
Permissable wastewater loading rates for ground absorption sewage disposal systems in North Carolina are currently estimated from an on-site characterization of soil texture and structure; but, after the trenches of the system are dug, the actual ability of the soil to absorb the applied wastewater may be far less than the estimated loading rate due to smearing of the trench-soil interface. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of wastewater loading rate and soil amendments proposed to help overcome the detrimental effect of soil smearing on wastewater treatment by a soil absorption system.
Three loading rates, 7.5, 11.3, and 15.0 L m−2 d−1, were tested and two soil amendments, cement and lime, were compared with a control. The amendments were added to the soil on a 5% by-weight basis. Three absorption trenches, 3.0 m in length, were dug for each loading rate-soil amendment combination. Soil water samples were obtained monthly for 12 months from ceramic cups placed 15 and 30 cm below the trenches. Water samples were analyzed for NH4+-N, NO3+-N, soluble P, chloride and pH.
Concentrations of NH4+-N, NO3−-N, and soluble P varied significantly with the time of sampling. Transformation of NH4+-N to NO3−-N was enhanced by the soil amendments, indicating that the aeration status of the soil near the trenches was improved by the amendments. The effect of the amendments was most noticeable during the spring recovery period as aeration status was increasing from winter minimums. Higher NO3−-N levels for the cement as compared with the lime in spring suggest that cement may be a more effective amendment than lime. The lowest loading rate had significantly higher concentrations of NO3−-N during the spring months. Soluble P levels increased linearly from 0.1 to 0.9 mg L−1 over the first year operation of the system.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

With over million Japanese now living outside Japan proper, are we going to see the end of descriptions of how insular, unadventurous, needy, tribal and close-minded Japanese are?
Japanese living abroad pass 1 million markNo, I guess not. But a human being's got to dream, believing that maybe someday all the cliches die.
The number of Japanese living overseas topped one million as of Oct. 1 last year for the first time since such data started to be kept in 1968, the Japanese Foreign Ministry said Monday.
The number, which includes Japanese who reside abroad for more than three months or who have permanent residence in a foreign country, rose 5.4 pct from a year before to 1,013,230, the ministry said.
By country, the highest number, 351,668, were living in the United States, followed by 114,899 in China, where many Japanese firms have set up, up 15.8 pct.
The number of Japanese who reside in Brazil was the third biggest at 65,942, and that of Britain came fourth at 54,982.
By city, New York ranked first with 59,285 Japanese residents, followed by 50,503 in Los Angeles, 40,264 in Shanghai and 26,991 in Bangkok.
60,000 Japanese in NYC? Boy, do I ever so want to open a Koseirodosho-certified hoikuen on the West Side of Manhattan.
The evening edition of the Yomiuri Shimbun reports that on the all-important issue of men vs. women, the women are still on top, for the seventh straight year. Women (and girls) make up 51.6% of the Japanese living overseas.
The Yomiuri also notes that for reasons of operational security, the Jieitai posted to Iraq are not included in the Foreign Ministry totals of Japanese living overseas.

Tracks are open—at least they are in Europe, where it’s sunny and shiny. MotoGP’s already had two races, and World Superbike just wrapped up its first test. Read on:
The big question this year is when Marc Marquez will return. Now we know the answer—he’s been cleared to return for the April 16-18 weekend at Portimao. This means we’ve got a new question: Just how fast will he be?
Marquez has been sidelined for almost a year, after crashing in the 2020 MotoGP opener and re-injuring his much-mashed right arm/shoulder. He missed the two Qatar races on doctor’s orders. Will he approach Portugal with the same old balls-to-the-wall vigor that got him into trouble in the first place? Or will he play it cautious, earning some smart points until he reckons he’s in a place to start winning every weekend all over again? Stay tuned.
Currently, Ducati’s Johann Zarco leads the GP standings with 40 points after two races, with Yamaha teammates Fabio Quartararo and Maverick Vinales close behind with 36 points each. Those are big leads, but Marquez is easily capable of erasing that gap if he returns to previous form. As soon as one of those riders makes a big mistake, Marquez will be on top of that error (Quartararo, in particular, is likely to end up out of the points in a race or three, due to crashing).
Normally, World Superbike racing would be well underway by now, but thanks to COVID-19, the usual Australian jaunt was called off this spring.
Instead, teams are still waiting for their first race at Aragon on the May 21-23 weekend. They got their first stab at the track for 2021 this week, though, with a two-day test. Scott Redding and Michael Ruben Rinaldi (both riding Ducatis under the Aruba.it flag) duked it out for top times, with Redding ultimately prevailing. Yamaha factory rider Garret Gerloff was third.
What does this mean? Hard to say, as many of the series’ top riders weren’t at Aragon (remember, the pandemic means travel gets a lot more complicated). Honda, BMW, and Kawasaki were at the Catalunya test two weeks earlier, but not at Aragon. At the earlier test, Honda and BMW had the fastest bikes, generally speaking.
However, it’s worth noting that Redding’s best lap time was very close to Jonathan Rea’s track record at Aragon, set last September aboard the factory Kawasaki. Will Redding close in on Rea this summer? The Kawasaki ace has long been The Man To Beat, but maybe the Aruba team has finally figured out the formula.


The June Apples is the project of multi-instrumentalist sisters Ellie and Taz whose passion for traditional music has led them to form a duo reworking traditional tunes, songs and stories and creating their own original songs. After being involved in projects with other artists, they discovered their affinity for playing together and for the past year have performed all over the South West. Expect lush harmonies, foot-stomping dance tunes and tales of loss, murder and vegan pirates!
“Thanks so much for your performance in St Patrick’s Chapel last Friday! You certainly wowed us — it was original and distinctive, great fun and musically spot-on (I am the sort of person who pays to hear Shostakovich quartets, so am perhaps a worthwhile opinion).” — An audience member.
Ellie Mains Fiddle, vocals, occasional flute & percussion
Ellie has a deep-rooted love of folk music, art and story. Her musical journey began at Wells Cathedral when she gained a place to become one of the first girl choristers. After leaving the choir she stayed on to study flute, violin and singing and subsequently attended the University of Oxford. Her passion for music never far away, on leaving Oxford she moved to Bristol, started an indie band in her garage and joined an experimental free jazz group. Work and wanderlust took her to the south of France and then to Reykjavik before settling back in the Mendip Hills and picking up her long-neglected fiddle, going to as many folk sessions as possible and greedily learning tunes and songs. She has since become a ‘face’ on the local folk scene and has been part of many musical projects as well as being one half of The June Apples with Taz. When not performing on stage, Ellie organises youth music tours and loves growing vegetables. Ellie lives on a smallholding with her partner, their gaggle of children and a menagerie of cheerful animals.
Taz Mains Guitar, Vocals, Bassoon
Taz started playing music at a young age, and hasn’t really stopped. A brief foray after specialist music school into university led to the birth of her first child (and eventually a degree in music and psychology). As a youth she spent many hours jamming on her guitar, piano and Bassoon, which she continues to do in lots of musical projects, including the June Apples. Her work as a freelance accompanist and strong passion for community music has lead to teaching and group work, including children’s choirs and a successful parent and child music group. She has more recently entered into a love affair with the double bass. Her love of history, local landscape and traditional skills has inspired in Taz a great appreciation of all things folk. Folk bassoon (a niche but nonetheless existent genre) has become one of her favourite past times, along with collaboratively collecting tunes, arranging and writing and playing music with her sister, Ellie.
When not playing music, Taz can be found doing care work, making stuff out of wood, painting and drawing pictures, riding bicycles and gardening. She currently resides in the heart of Somerset’s Mendip Hills, surrounded by lush countryside, children, instruments and cats.

A local Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader was shot dead on Sunday morning in Bhangar area of South 24 Parganas district. While local party workers suspect the hand of “Maoist land agitators” behind the murder, others claim it was a result of “infighting” in the TMC. Police were tight-lipped over the incident with PTI quoting SP (Baruipur) Arijit Sinha as saying: “We are investigating the matter.” Asitur Rahman (30) alias Babusona, who was office bearer of Bhangar II panchayat samiti, was returning from the residence of another party leader Bhangara II panchayat samiti chief Arabul Islam when he was shot.
Bhangar has seen violence and constant protests against a power project in the area. Some claim that land was grabbed for the project and that it would pose danger to environment and health. In January, two people were killed in alleged police firing during protests against the government at Kolkata.
Local TMC leaders alleged Rahman was shot by activists of the Jami, Jibika, Bastutantra O Paribesh O Raksha Committee (committee to protect land, livelihood, ecosystem and environment), which had been leading the protests in Bhangar.
Floated by the Maoist outfit CPI-ML (Red Star), the committee is supported by CPM-led Left Front, CPI-ML (Liberation), Majdoor Kranti Parishad and Association for Protection of Democratic Rights (APDR).
“Those who are protesting against the project in name of land agitation are spreading violence. Yesterday, a panchayat office was vandalised by them. Today, Rahman had gone to meet Arabul Islam at his residence,” said local TMC leader Kaiser Ahmed.
However, the committee denied the allegations and said Rahman’s killing was a result of TMC infighting.
“For last few days, attempts were being made by associates of TMC leaders Arabul Islam and Kaiser Ahmed to disrupt our rally. Today, factional feuds broke out between two rival groups of TMC in Bhangar- one lead by Arabul Islam and the other by Kaizar Ahmed. This led to the killing,” said convener of the committee, Mirza Hasan, in a press statement.


Elodie LautenMiracle 2
This new version for Wilde Calm picks up where the white label remixes left off, as Lauten had always intended to record her own dancefloor version of “In the Light...” and found a kindred spirit in collaborating with Brooklyn producer Pocketknife. The track features Lauten on vocals and keys, Nirosta Steel (Steven Hall) on additional vocals, Peter Zummo on trombone, and production/arranging by Pocketknife. Reworks were done by two long-time fans of Lauten, L.A.’s Gifted & Blessed (Technoindigenous Studies, Wild Oats, Eglo) and Brooklyn’s Bryce Hackford (PRAH, DFA). Gifted & Blessed references Lauten’s classic post-minimalist compositions with his remix and takes the dance floor of “Miracle 2” out into the cosmos. Hackford focuses on the instrumental track, extending it way out and roughing it up with heavy Bushwick Body Actualized vibes.

During March & April each year Sockeye Salmon head up the many rivers & streams in the Mackenzie Basin on their spawning run. The Mackenzie Basin is the only place in the Southern Hemisphere where you'll see this spectacle. Monitoring over the last few years has put the numbers between 40,000 & 70,000.
While on their spawning run it is illegal to catch, net or spear the fish, or even walk in the river bed and trample their nests (redds). Males are dark reddish/orange & the females have a blue tinge. Once the salmon have spawned they die & the river beds become littered with dead & dying fish. A sad sight but that's nature.
These are not the Chinook (King) salmon that most people are familiar with and are farmed in the canals, Sockeye are quite small in comparison.

BSSG is a not-for-profit organisation. It is supported by a Hub Administrator, who works part time, and volunteers.
BSSG provides various activities for stroke survivors and their carers to assist them in transitioning from hospital and clinical care to community care, where they can start re-building their lives and wellbeing.
- To provide regular meetings for members to have social connectedness with others sharing a common experience.
- To provide a venue where invited guest speakers and allied health professionals can disseminate up-to-date information, advice, service and resources.
- To nurture members back to mainstream activities in the community and have a quality of life.
- To promote stroke prevention and stroke awareness.
To encourage stroke survivors, their carers and family members to confidently enjoy life after a stroke through mutual emotional support and the common provision of information, communication and education.
Advocacy and Networking
To help achieve our aims and mission statement, our members:
· Share their stroke and carer stories with other members of our group and sometimes the wider community through voice and print.
· Participate in stroke and carer studies, surveys and conferences conducted by universities and other not-for-profit organisations.
· Provide consultation to disability committees and other not-for-profit organisations.
· Assist with the smooth running of our activities.
To see how some of our members have contributed to wider knowledge of the effects of stroke see
The BSSG was founded by Jenny Cheng (Stroke Survivor) and her husband Peter Cheng (Carer) in 2002. This organisation is now recognised as one of the most active and innovative community-based stroke support groups in Australia.
Jenny tells us of the events that led to her establishing the BSSG:
“ I am a stroke survivor. I survived a brain haemorrhage on 27 March 1993.
Stroke is a brain attack, like a heart attack, that comes quickly. Within minutes it transformed me from a healthy working mother and wife to an incoherent, half paralysed individual. It was terrifying. It was depressing. Nothing had prepared me for the trauma. Stroke is so sudden.
My recovery was difficult, not just for myself but for the whole family. I needed lots of support, but found that stroke services in the community were uncoordinated and difficult to access.
As the City of Boroondara had no stroke support groups, I formed the BSSG. It kept me busy and really helped my recovery, which was slow. In time I gradually got back to doing some of the activities I used to do.
The BSSG provided a unique opportunity to speak with other stroke survivors and carers and share our individual experiences.“

The foundation of BSSG’s logo
In 2003, two BSSG members came up with the BSSG logo which is used on all BSSG stationeries, publications and building signage.
Percy Hayes, a 92 year old stroke survivor, came up with the concept design and Peter Cheng, the co-founder of BSSG, provided the graphic artwork.
The logo symbolises the Spirit and Strength shown by Stroke survivors in the way they manage the consequences of their trauma.

If she survived the spider, Little Miss Muffet’s good eating habits may have given her a lifetime of protection against cancer and a host of other diseases.
The “curds and whey” she was eating in the Mother Goose nursery rhyme are cottage cheese. Curds are the solid pieces and whey is the liquid. It turns out that whey protein contains a powerful health-giving substance with so many benefits, you’ll want to rush to the nearest health-food store to stock up.
The whey ingredient I’m talking about is called lactoferrin.
It first came to my attention years ago when Japanese researchers showed that lactoferrin stopped the growth of some solid tumors in laboratory mice. They also found it prevents the spread of cancer cells in these animals.
The researchers studied the effects of bovine-derived lactoferrin on cells intended to mimic either skin cancer or leukemia. Mice were injected with the experimental cancer cells, which are known to spread easily from tumors to other organs and tissues.
When researchers administered lactoferrin just after tumors formed, it went to work suppressing tumor growth.
What’s more, they found that the spread of cancer cells to the lungs and liver was significantly less than in control animals that did not receive lactoferrin. So you get a double-whammy: lactoferrin suppresses cancer where it exists AND it helps keep cancer from spreading to other organs.
So just what makes lactoferrin a cancer-fighting superhero?
Here’s how lactoferrin starves
hungry cancer cells…
Lactoferrin is a glycoprotein, that is, a protein with a glucose molecule attached. Its name combines the Latin words “lacto”, which means “milk”, and “ferrin” which means “iron”.
Lactoferrin is highly concentrated in human breast milk, as well as in the so-called “new milk” or “first milk” of cows that have just given birth, and indeed in the milk of most mammals. The lactorferrin in mother’s milk provides powerful immune protection to the newborn. Actually, the substance is found in ALL milk, but “new milk” has the highest concentration.
The key to lactoferrin’s cancer-fighting properties is its amazing ability to bind with iron. It forms a bond with iron that’s 100 times stronger than transferrin—your body’s major iron transport protein.
Studies show that excessive iron in your diet may increase your risk of developing certain types of cancer. Researchers believe many diseases and cancers need iron to reproduce and grow. By starving cancer cells for iron, lactoferrin helps deprive them of life.
In a review published last year in the journal Biomolecules, researchers found lactoferrin has a “wide range of molecular targets controlling tumor proliferation, survival, migration, invasion and metastasization… even for treatment of brain tumors due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.” The researchers called lactoferrin a “promising tool for cancer prevention and treatment.”
If you’re healthy, your own body can produce large amounts of lactoferrin to battle a specific infection or tumor. This molecule binds with excess iron in that area and prevents the bacteria or the tumor from feeding on it.
In fact, very high concentrations are found in the saliva in our mouths, where it probably serves the function of killing off microbes in our food and drink.
Yes, you heard right: Besides being a Godsend in fighting cancer, lactoferrin is a powerful, broad-spectrum microbe-killer, too! It helps fight bacteria, fungi, viruses and even protozoa.
Lactoferrin doubles as a
Numerous studies prove that lactoferrin by itself or in whey protein boosts your immune system. For example, studies show lactoferrin supports your immune system by:
- Preventing survival or growth of bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi
- Activating or stimulating immune system cells
- Regulating normal cell growth
Scientists believe that when lactoferrin binds with iron, it chokes the supply to pathogens that feed on it. But it manages to do this without harming the good bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus in your stomach!
Laboratory experiments prove this superstar protein can weaken and defeat some of the heartiest germs, including:
- Candida albicans—which causes yeast infections.
- E. coli—which can cause anemia, kidney failure, and death.
- Helicobacter pylori— which can cause stomach ulcers.
- Herpes simplex virus-1—which causes cold sore blisters.
- Klebsiella pneumoniae—which causes pneumonia and liver abscesses.
- Staphylococcus aureus—which causes skin infections and poisons your entire system if it enters your bloodstream.
Numerous anecdotal reports suggest lactoferrin has an astonishing ability to clobber these and many other germs that make you sick.
A priceless immune-system booster
Lactorferrin is an essential part of a healthy, adult immune system. This is critical for cancer patients, because the disease itself—and many conventional cancer therapies—tend to damage or suppress the immune system.
Lactoferrin is NOT a magic cure-all for cancer all by itself. It’s one of a number of immune-enhancing and tumor-fighting therapies you can employ. According to the Health Sciences Institute, cancer patients can safely take large doses of 500 to 1500 mg. per day. That’s the range found in case histories of human cancer patients (I don’t know of any large-scale studies on human cancer patients; the evidence is based on individual case histories and on animal studies).
From what I have learned, lactoferrin can be safely used along with chemotherapy and radiation, for those patients who aren’t willing to depend on alternative treatments alone.
If you’re like me and you want to take lactoferrin to PREVENT cancer and other diseases, some supplements come with a recommended usage of 100 mg. per day. Frankly, that sounds like a low dose to me, but that’s what they say. There’s no toxicity although if you’re allergic to milk, you might be safer skipping lactoferrin and trying another immune booster.
You can purchase lactoferrin supplements in most health food stores or from online sources. Another source — also available in supplement shops — is dried and powdered whey protein, which you can mix into a drink. Athletes like to use whey protein to build muscle mass, but it can benefit the rest of us, too. Many nutritional supplements include whey protein because of its ability to help build muscle mass.
