IS WHEY YOUR WAY?

We all know we need protein our diet for cell growth, repair, immune cells, muscle and production of hormones.

We all know:

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey

Sounds like sloppy cottage cheese to me, how about you? We know whey is derived from milk. But unlike milk, there is no fat or lactose. There are several potent disease fighting properties.

Whey is considered highly effective against salmonella and strep. It is loaded with natural antioxidants. The levels of glutathione decreases as we age, therefore, we are more prone to infection.

Would whey extended life in humans as it has in laboratory animals? Do you want to live until 100, (in wellness)? Then perhaps whey is your way.

Look for it in the sports supplement section of your health food store, even if you are a couch potato!

Not WHEY, how about Neem?

Old Trunks has learned there are several remedies practiced in India what are not common to her.

The latest discovery is Neem. Neem has been used for 4,500 years and is part of the Ancient Ayurvedic healing system along with other herbs previously mentioned. It is so versatile that it is called the "village pharmacy" in India. Recent studies confirm it is used in greater than 60 products and is, indeed, a powerful medicine.

It is said it can be used externally, internally, as a diet supplement. In a paste to treat acne and eczema and is great for winter itch, (dry skin in North Dakota). It is antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial. It is mouth wash and toothpaste. People in India broke off a branch and used it as a tooth brush only to discover the merits and effectiveness of gum disease.

The earliest Sanskrit medical writings refer to the benefits of neem fruit, neem seeds, neem oil, neem root and neem bark, hence its extensive use in traditional medicine. Now, let's see if I can find a picture of it!

Whey neem? I don't know how much it weighs.
