The Princess of Wales brings Awareness to Holistic Healthcare Upon Completion of Three Peaks Challenge

Image
The Princess of Wales completed the Three Peaks challenge over the weekend.  The challenge involves a blend of driving and trekking through three of the highest mountain peaks in England, Scotland and Wales--Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa. The challenge areas cover 23 miles of walking distance along with a 462 mile drive between each peak.   The challenge is open to the public and many aim to walk to the summit of the peaks within 24 hours.  However, the trek is so grueling and extensive that only 40% of the individuals attempting the challenge are able to complete it within this timeframe.  It is recommended that individuals desiring to complete the Three Peaks Challenge engage in strength training over a period of eight to twelve weeks. Whether Catherine engaged in strength training is unknown but she has always been quite athletic.  Not only did Catherine complete the challenge--she is part of the smaller percentage of people who were able to comp...

Developing Research on How Fruits & Vegetables Can help to Fight COVID-19

“Eat your Fruits and Vegetables” was probably a command that the average person was likely to hear growing up. I know i had an aunt who preached fruit and vegetables all the time and I’m grateful that it rubbed off! Be thankful for all the fruit and vegetable preachers in your life because they are offering sound wisdom. Certain folks scoff at the sight of vegetables and fruits and it could be due to taste or general dislike of them. Realize and accept that fruits and vegetables have so much to offer to you—healthwise!





The fact is that fruits and vegetables contain healing phytochemicals that are effective in fighting diseases and various other ailments. Numerous scientific studies support this fact. Phytochemicals are responsible for giving fruit, spices, herbs and vegetables their aroma, color and smell and are instrumental in maintaining and improving immunity. Diets full of meat and unhealthy foods will negatively impact overall immunity.

A study named the UK Phyto-V Covid-19 Study has been developed to understand how phytochemicals in fruits, vegetables and plants such as pomegranate, citrus, turmeric, and aloe vera can help COVID-19 symptoms to disappear. The study is being led by Dr. Robert Thomas of Bedford Hospital in the UK. Participants of the double blind placebo controlled trial take a supplement which contains a combination of phytochemicals such as curcuminoids (turmeric), apigenin (chamomile tea, celery, citrus), catechins and ellagic acid (green tea, pomegranate), quercetin (Apples, onions, red wine), hesperetin (citrus fruits), aloe emodin (aloe).

Dr. Thomas identified in a previous study that these phytochemicals reduced SARS’s ability to replicate. the focus of the current study will help to understand how these phytochemicals reduce symptoms of COVID-19. Participants consume the supplements for a period of 4 weeks or until their COVID-19 symptoms disappear.


CONFIRMED: POMEGRANATE EXTRACT FIGHTS VIRUSES and covid-19

Another research study determined that pomegranate peels are capable of inhibiting COVID-19 as they were previously found to be inhibitors of the SARS virus which is similar to Covid-19. This study was led by Dr. Relja Surucic who is affiliated with the University of Banja Luka in Bosnia. Pomegranate peel extract contains the phytochemical punicalagin which is what blocks the virus from entering host cells. According to Dr. Surucic, pomegranate extract IS also helpful in fighting viruses such as herpes virus, influenza virus, poxviruses, and human immunodeficiency virus.

THE Phyto V COVID-19 study is still recruiting participants to take part. If you are in the UK, have had a positive COVID-19 test result and are interested in participating in the study please visit:

There are a few other similar studies that are being developed in india, the middle east and spain.
The evidence produced from current scientific studies such as these goes to show you that nature really is the best remedy!

Green News Guide Clean, Organic & Natural Perfumes & Colognes: A List of Brands and Companies

Image
It’s Earth month folks! Happy Earth Month! This is one of the best months of the year where we spend most of our time giving back to our earth.  It can be difficult finding 100% natural perfume companies and fragrances.  After coming across a few articles over the years about natural or clean fragrance companies, the list is usually very short and there are only less than a handful that are spoken of.  The truth is that there aren’t that many that are out there.  Many of them are located overseas where standards and protocols for products designated for human consumption or usage are much more stringent and stricter.    Green News Guide has spent some time identifying natural, clean and sustainable fragrance companies in the USA and abroad.  I've compiled close to seventy natural or clean fragrance companies.  Many of these fragrance companies are committed to policies or missions that take into consideration the health of our planet.  I'm pr...
