Did you know - Our dear 'Soursop/Guanaban' is a Wonder Tree? Your Loved Ones may benefit from this article.

The fruit is called Guanabana in Central America, Soursop in the Carribean and Sub-Saharan Africa, Graviola in Spain and a friend from India just informed me that it is know as Ramfar in India. It grows in many parts of the world and is known by various names.

Check out this website dedicated to the magic fruit  http://www.soursopgraviola.com

Guyabano, The Soupsop Fruit
The Sour Sop or the fruit from the graviola tree is a miraculous natural cancer cell killer 10,000 times stronger than Chemo.

Why are we not aware of this?
Its because some big corporation want to make back their money spent on years of research by
trying to make a synthetic version of it for sale.

So, since you know it now you can help a friend in need by letting him know or just drink some sour sop juice yourself as prevention from time to time.
The taste is not bad after all. It’s completely natural and definitely has no side effects.
If you have the space, plant one in your garden.
The other parts of the tree are also useful.

The next time you have a fruit juice, ask for a sour sop.

How many people died in vain while this billion-dollar drug maker concealed the secret of the miraculous Graviola tree?

This tree is low and is called graviola in Brazil , guanabana in Spanish and has the uninspiring name "soursop" in English. The fruit is very large and the subacid sweet white pulp is eaten out of hand or, more commonly, used to make fruit drinks, sherbets and such.

The principal interest in this plant is because of its strong anti-cancer effects.
Although it is effective for a number of medical conditions, it is its anti tumor effect that is of most interest.
This plant is a proven cancer remedy for cancers of all types.

Besides being a cancer remedy, graviola is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent for both bacterial and fungal infections, is effective against internal parasites and worms, lowers high blood pressure and is used for depression, stress and nervous disorders. 

If there ever was a single example that makes it dramatically clear why the existence of Health Sciences Institute is so vital to Americans, it's the incredible story behind the Graviola tree.

The truth is stunningly simple:
Deep within the Amazon rainforest grows a tree that could literally revolutionize what you, your doctor,
and the rest of the world thinks about cancer treatment and chances of survival.
The future has never looked more promising.

Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous tree it now may be possible to:
* Attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy that does not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss
* Protect your immune system and avoid deadly infections
* Feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of the treatment
* Boost your energy and improve your outlook on life

The source o f this information is just as stunning: It comes from one of America 's largest drug manufacturers, the fruit of over 20 laboratory tests conducted since the 1970's!
What those tests revealed was nothing short of mind numbing...
Extracts from the tree were shown to:

* Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon,
breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer..
* The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug!
* What's more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectively hunts
down and kills only cancer cells. It does not harm healthy cells! 

The amazing anti -cancer properties of the Graviola tree have been extensively researched-- so why haven't you heard anything about it?
If Graviola extract is as half as promising as it appears to be--
why doesn't every single oncologist at every major hospital insist on using it on all his or her patients?

The spine-chilling answer illustrates just how easily our health-- and for many, our very lives(!)--are controlled by money and power.

Graviola--the plant that worked too well.

One of America 's biggest billion-dollar drug makers began a search for a cancer cure and their research centered on Graviola, a legendary healing tree from the Amazon Rainforest.
Variou s parts of the Graviola tree--including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit and fruit-seeds- -have been used for centuries by medicine men and native Indians in South America to treat heart disease, asthma, liver problems and arthritis.
Going on very little documented scientific evidence, the company poured money and resources into testing the tree's anti-cancerous properties-- and were shocked by the results. Graviola proved itself to be a cancer-killing dynamo.

But that's where the Graviola story nearly ended.

The company had one huge problem with the Graviola tree--it's completely natural, and so, under federal law, not patentable. There's no way to make serious profits from it.

It turns out the drug company invested nearly seven years trying to synthesize two of the Graviola tree's most powerful anti-cancer ingredients. If they could isolate and produce man-made clones of what makes the Graviola so potent, they'd be able to patent it and make their money back.
Alas, they hit a brick wall. The original simply could not be replicated.
There was no way the company could protect its profits--or even make back the millions it poured into research. As the dream of huge profits evaporated, their testing on Graviola came to a screeching halt.
Even worse, the company shelved the entire project and chose not to publish the findings of its research!

Luckily, however, there was one scientist from the Graviola research team whose conscience wouldn't let him see such atrocity committed.
Risking his career, he contacted a company that's dedicated to harvesting medical plants from the Amazon Rainforest
and blew the whistle.

Miracle unleashed
When researchers at the Health Sciences Institute were alerted to the news of Graviola,
they began tracking the research done on the cancer-killing tree.
Evidence of the astounding effectiveness of Graviola--and its shocking cover-up--came in fast and furious....

....The National Cancer Institute performed the first scientific research in 1976.
The results showed that Graviola's "leaves and stems were found effective in attacking and destroying malignant cells." Inexplicably, the results were published in an internal report and never released to the public...

...Since 1976, Graviola has proven to be an immensely potent cancer killer in 20 independent laboratory tests, yet no double-blind clinical trials-- the typical benchmark mainstream doctors and journals use to judge a treatment's value- -were ever initiated..


A study published in the Journal of Natural Products,
following a recent study conducted at Catholic University of South Korea stated that one chemical in Graviola was found to selectively kill colon cancer cells at "10,000 times the potency of (the commonly used chemotherapy drug) Adriamycin.. ."

....The most significant part of the Catholic University of South Korea report is that
Graviola was shown to selectively target the cancer cells, leaving healthy cells untouched.
Unlike chemotherapy, which indiscriminately targets all actively reproducing cells (such as stomach and hair cells), causing the often devastating side effects of nausea and hair loss in cancer patients.

...A study at Purdue University recently found that leaves from the Graviola tree killed cancer cells among six human cell lines and were especially effective against prostate, pancreatic and lung cancers...
Seven years of silence broken--it's finally here!

A limited supply of Graviola extract, grown and harvested by indigenous people in Brazil , is finally available in America .

The full Graviola Story--including where you can get it and how to use it--is included in Beyond Chemotherapy: New Cancer Killers, Safe as Mother's Milk, a Health Sciences Institute FREE special bonus report on natural substances that will effectively revolutionize the fight against cancer..


From breakthrough cancer and heart research and revolutionary Amazon Rainforest
herbology to world-leading anti -aging research and nutritional medicine,
every monthly Health Sciences Institute Member's Alert puts in your hands today cures the rest of America --including your own doctor(!)--is likely to find out only ten years from now.

Would You Defend Your Spouse Even If They Are Out Rightly Wrong

Our question today! Would you defend your spouse everywhere and every time even when you know that they are so wrong?

Mr and Mrs Smith against the world.

                                               
I am asking this question because I know that couples disagree a lot. But in my understanding, it should be you and your spouse against the world. Sometimes this is somewhat hard in situations where you know that your spouse is the wrong one in a fight, not necessarily physical combat but maybe a fight for rights or opinion.

I took some time to get the opinions of a few happily married folks and here is what they said;

"If it is outside, there is no way I won't defend my husband, even if he is very wrong. But its a different case when we are indoors, I will tell him how wrong he is or was" -Jin .O

"I will defend my wife even in front of our kids, when we are alone I still have to be careful and gentle in correcting her, so we can sleep in peace"- D.E

"It really depends on the situation, if its an altercation and I notice she is the wrong one, I will just take her away from the scene before I do any other thing but I will never let the other party know that I thought she was wrong" -Dave.

So apparently, most couple will defend each other in public. But I was wondering if the situation will still be the same where the said disagreement is between your spouse and your family member(s) and your husband or wife is damn wrong?

If you would defend your spouse, in what type of occasions and why, any instances where you have already done so?

Please lets hear you!

Tips To Rekindle That Fire in Your Marriage!

C'mon marriage does get boring at some point if you do not give it attention. Apart from monotony which sets in with doing the same things continuously, kids and family needs also get in the way. As such in other to keep your ideal marriage alive, you would need to work on it quite often.

That said, let me share this article by Jim Burns with you;


Can I be perfectly honest with you? Romance doesn’t come naturally to me. Physical intimacy absolutely does. But romance ... that’s another story. I didn’t have good role models growing up and I just don’t think about it as much as the woman I am happily married to for the last 32 years does. 

I Apologise!

An apology is a good way to have the last word~ Anonymous.

So guys first let me apologise for MIA. I have been very busy and mostly in transit which explains why I haven't blogged for a while, not making excuses just saying I am sorry for denying you your favourite posts*wink*

So how do you say that eight lettered, three worded sentence that we so desperately want to hear but mostly unwilling to say?

A lot has been said about the magical word "sorry" but I am looking at the perfect situation where the word is prefixed with "I am"

It is a given that every relationship has its moments, some filled with love some with hurt. If the relationship is marriage, these type of days may even tilt more to the latter side. But, no matter how many of such 'hurt days' you experience, how it is handled will eventually tell on your relationship.

Contrary to what many believe (especially women) the person who always takes the initiative to say " I am sorry' is not the weaker one. This is because it takes strength and maturity to know that YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE RIGHT TO SAVE YOUR RELATIONSHIP, YOU ONLY HAVE TO BE TRUE TO YOURSELF.  Just ask yourself, would I rather lead a peaceful life with just a few sincere words or assert my right and slug it out? If your answer is anywhere near the former, then be true to yourself and work out your relationship. It may not be easy at first especially if you are going to be the one always apologising but believe me you may not do it for long because these things are reciprocal. In the end you would have taught your spouse, the art of reconciliation.

Having said that, lets look at some tips of a sincere apology.

1. Accept responsibility- If you would be the one to apologise, you must accept some sort of responsibility. Not necessarily that you are the one in the wrong but that you somehow contributed to it.

2. Learn to let go- Because most times you may be the one actually hurting, you must learn to heal your hurt and forgive yourself even as you are forgiving your spouse.

3. No buts, No excuses- If you have decided to apologise, excuses are a sure way of ruining your end goal. Say you are sorry and mean it.

4. Try physical contact- To make an even more lasting impact, try touching or hugging your spouse/partner while apologising. Its a sure way of bridging gaps and mending walls.

5. Go a little further- Just saying I am sorry may not always be enough. Let your spouse know that you do realise how you may have hurt them and that you neither intended it nor are you intending to do it again.

6. Make fun rules- If you have a young marriage, this one is your take because you will have lots of such days when these rules come in handy. Good thing is, it's fun and handy. Your fun rules may include; a) If we are quarrelling and we kiss its over, b) If  any of us use our pet names, it's over , c) Every misunderstanding ends at 12 am or whatever time that makes sense to you., etc.

I(we) personally have some but yea I am hoarding, Lol. Needless to say, I find them very useful and sincerely hope you will find this post helpful as well and if you need a little nudge to take the blame and have the bliss you desire, here it is. Go ahead and say it, "I am sorry"!

How I Spent My "Val"

First, I have always wondered why everybody's name changes to Valentine on Feb 14 and suddenly the people in your life that you love now go by  the name Val, whether male or female. Lol.

Anyway, I don't have a Val in my life (*eyez pooping*?)....I have Uche! And I celebrate him everyday which means yesterday wasn't left out.

However, yesterday the 15th of February happens to be our anniversary so you will understand why henceforth, the 14th will be a lesser date for me as long February is concerned.

Sadly, the foundation of St.Valentine's day celebration as we know it today is wrong, so also is almost every other celebration out there no matter what justification we give them.

Some also argue that Love should not be dictated and therefore there shouldn't be a date set aside for showing it or celebrating it and I concur.

But there are also some folks who have become so emasculated in the things of life or are so nonchalant that were it not for such dates, they would never remember to say "I Love You"

 So, my conclusion is this- if Val's day is what floats your boat, the only day that you remember to reiterate your love for your wife, husband, children, family and friends, then by all means do it on that day.

A lot of us while still single secretly crave for that one person that we care about to acknowledge his/her love on that day among other days, so how come we won't legitimately do it now that we have him/her forever by our side?

If you are a Christian couple and you are trying to find a justification  for celebrating love on Valentine's day, then read what Marriage Missions, a christian organisation has to say about Val's  here.

Now back to me... :-)

Your Work Spouse Versus Your Real Life Spouse.

Work Spouse situations arise out of the obvious reason that most of us spend more time at work than at home with our real spouse.

For instance, you work round the clock, you get home exhausted, you would really want to spend time with your DW (Dear Wife) but there's not just enough strength. You barely manage to go through with dinner (or sometimes not) and you hit the bed. It follows naturally that you will confide in someone and that someone would be that person you easily bond with at work, since this is where you spend your peek periods or that person who by their job description become privy of even some personal aspects of your life.

But before you read this article, my two pence is; in order to avoid issues with your real spouse, always be open about your relationships at work and everywhere else. Never give room for unhealthy assumptions.

Is this Something To Worry About?

According to this study, the trends are changing! If you want to qualify to marry before 30, get a college degree. In fact to double the pace, get as many as you can. Lol.

In a reversal of long-standing marital patterns, college-educated young adults are more likely than young adults lacking a bachelor’s degree to have married by the age of 30.

Can I say that this trend is not limited to the United State, its so happening in Nigeria as well and all over the world.

One reason comes to my mind, men and women don't want them "liabilities" no more *justkidding*

Really what do you think, is the reason for the tidal change? Where has this put Love, 1st, 2nd or even last place on the list?

Trying To Get Pregnant!

Recently, during dinner a friend conversationally said,

"I wish I knew that getting pregnant could be work in some cases, I have been trying to get my wife knocked up now for 2 years and its not just happening, meanwhile we did everything to avoid it while we were dating and even in the first year of our marriage"

Asked if they have seen a doctor he answered yes and the doctor said both of them are perfectly fine.

I went to research on this and to my amazement getting pregnant for most women is not usually that easy especially when they are really gearing up for it. For others, they don't even know when it happens.

A one too many reason I found, that may cause the delay is anxiety and stress. Apart from seeing a doctor, after trying for over 10-12 months, every woman who is trying to conceive (TTC) is advised to take it slow and easy.

Hard as this may seem, especially when all your friends are getting pregnant and putting to bed and then you have started getting those 'side calls' from family and friends asking if you have doubled (LOL), living stress free, not putting your heart into it and going ahead to enjoy yourself with your spouse is what I am made to understand to be the magic wand.

So many women, confessed to getting pregnant as soon as they stopped TRYING.

Some other women, from experience suggested doing the pills. Funny? Yea, you can imagine using contraceptives so you can get pregnant??. However, the number of personal testimonies to this makes it worth the try. They suggested this approach especially if your cycle has recently become irregular. It will help regularize your cycle and a staggering number of women got knocked up soon as they got off the pills.

Whatever you do as the saying goes, Please consult your doctor.

P.S:  I would appreciate any informed opinions, experiences, advice (medical or otherwise) for myself and many other women out there. Thanks.
