Day 26: Let's Learn About Supplements

I did a little research into some supplements. I am starting to combine them with my smoothies. Below are a list of supplements that I have found that may help with HIV, other diseases and general health.


1. Essential Oils - Use of essential oils help to calm the body. External use of lavender, peppermint and others sooth the mind and body. The mind and body are very powerful mechanisms in preventing illness by releasing chemicals to combat, sickness, allergies and depression.


Find a scent can be put in the bath, laundry or other places that will make you smile.


2. Slippery Elm - Powder is derived from the bark of the Slippery Elm Tree.  It assists in mouth and intestines.  Slippery Elm can aid intestinal track to achieve a greater nutrient uptake thus helping the body and immune system.

3. Turmeric Root - A rhizome (not a root) related to ginger.  It is found in South-East Asia and is the main ingredient in curry.  It is a strong antioxidant with anti-inflamitory properties.  Turmeric root has been shown to prevent the spread of HIV.

4. Pau d'arco - A natural herb retrieved from the inner bark of the Taheebo Tree, found in Central and South America.  Pau d'Arco can interfere with replication of HIV, influenza, and other viral forms.

5. Bee Pollen - Bees pack the powder into granules, adding honey or nectar from honey sacs where it is then transported back to the hive. An enzyme is added to prevent germination, metabolizing the pollen for food..  Bee Pollen is high in antioxidants and aids immune system. Itcontains vitamins, minerals, protein,  and carnitine.


You can use powders of these in smoothies.  By adding water you can create a paste.  Soak the powder for two weeks in a high proof alcohol (Everclear, 150-Rum).  This will make it into a liquid form that can be added to tea, coffee or other beverages.


6. Grapeseed Oil - Can reduce the spread of HIV in the body.

7. Walnut Oil - High in Omega-3 fatty acids.


Try to use oil as in salads, oatmeal or on toast.  Heating walnut oil breaks down the good fats.


8. Multivitamin - Provides vitamins and minerals missing from the diet.

Taking a Multivitamin at the end of the day can possibly help as lowered activity lets the digestive tract absorb more.

9. Penis Wrinkle - Just checking to see if you read this far!  But serious.  Did you know that masturbation can reduce the chances of prostate cancer and that a healthy active sex life can reduce stress.  In fact it is important to make sure you continue to have sex in your 40's and 50's.  Studies show people who stop having sex because of mid-life crisis, menopause and divorce in their 40's and 50's will have a lowered to no libido in their Golden Years.

Stay Happy!

Note: Since I am not a medical professional please do not take the information and apply it without first consulting your doctor.  Research on supplements can vary drastically.  This is merely a guide of helpful effects that have been found with one set of studies.  As with all supplements there is research to prove these effects do and don't work.  Further research on side effects should be examined before trying any of these.
