#Cayenne (capsaicin)🌶️

"These results indicate that capsaicin could be a promising agent for the chemoprevention of pancreatic carcinogenesis, possibly via inhibiting pancreatitis & mutant Kras-led ERK activation." (mice)

#Cayenne (capsaicin) 🌶️

"Research shows that capsaicin, the active ingredient that gives chilis their heat, can affect platelet function and reduce blood glucose levels."

"A pilot test tube study suggests that sugarcane molasses may enhance the body’s natural #antiinflammatory reaction. It may do this in part by enhancing the good bacteria in the colon." #colitis #ibd

#Molasses ('07)

'In conclusion, we have shown that molasses can be used effectively as a #prebiotic because of the increase in #Bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria numbers ... giving an added possible health benefit consequently inhibit the growth of pathogenic #bacteria'

"Based on the strong association between bile acid efflux and feeding/fasting cycle, the circadian clock may be a sensible switch to control bile acid release and reabsorption as well as synthesis."

The effect of #celiac disease upon #bilesalts (1973)

"In conclusion, we suggest that in coeliac disease the bile salt pool is enlarged due to reduced #hepatic surveillance of bile salt pool size. Because of #gallbladder inertia, the pool is turned over and metabolized slowly"

@ultimape @Cathelicidin the molasses anecdote is really an interesting one. would have never even thought to look at molasses unless you posted that 🤔

Ginsenoside Rg1 Ameliorates Pancreatic Injuries

"Our work revealed that G-Rg1 may prevent T1DM by increasing autophagic activity through a potential mechanism that may be related to the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway."

After chemo, the % of CD4+ T lymphocytes was significantly ⬆️ in the #ginseng group than in the control group (42.01% vs. 33.69%, p=0.048). The ratio of CD4+/CD8+ T lymphocytes was also ⬆️ in the #ginseng group (2.03 vs. 1.28, p=0.027)

Carbs give highest sugar spike , then protein and no sugar spike with fats .

More sugar spikes means more insulin spikes .

So, more frequent eating with carbs heavy meals will bring more insulin spikes .

Resulting high level of insulin in blood most of the time .

This will result in insulin resistance too.

Finally

Obesity
Big tummy
Visceral fat
Type 2 diabetes
Hypertension
PCOD
& even Cancer as insulin is a growth hormone.

Pharmaceutical quick fixes are not what you need. You must face up to your symptoms & acknowledge this is not just random victimisation. Every symptom has its reasons. Using a functional and integrative medicine approach to analysing root cause means looking beyond symptoms /2
