E. coli Bacteria Easily Killed With Spices Like Garlic, Clove, Cinnamon, Oregano and Sage

A recent outbreak of a virulent strain of E. coli has killed 19 people in Europe and infected more than 2,000 in at least 12 countries. The source of the outbreak hasn’t been pinpointed but the World Health Organization and the CDC are focusing on fresh naturally grown foods like tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers which were packaged in Germany.

Entire suspect crops are ordered destroyed by the WHO and the CDC every year when an E. coli outbreak is declared. Why does the WHO and the CDC order crops destroyed? In recent years there appears to be a concerted effort by the WHO and the CDC to target only the foods that are essential for a healthy diet and life for millions of people. Foods which helps prevent disease, illnesses and viral infections.

Every year the WHO and the CDC issues E. coli outbreak bulletins and they always accuse anti-cancer, anti heart disease and anti-microbial foods like lettuce, tomatoes, cabbage, spinach, peas and beans. No E. coli alert have been made against processed foods that make up the entire menu at fast food outlets. Fast processed foods are linked to heart disease, cancer, obesity, viral infections and a host of other ailments and illnesses. The intent of the WHO and the CDC is to destroy only the healthy natural food groups. Yes the death of 19 people is a good argument in favor of destroying a crop linked to an E. coli outbreak but the destruction of the entire crops affects millions. Without these healthy food crops thousands, even millions will become inflicted with disease, illnesses and viral infections and die.

Did you know that E. coli illnesses and deaths can be eliminated entirely with spices? Spices like cinnamon has a long history both as a spice and as a medicine. Cinnamon’s essential oils is an “anti-microbial” food, and the spice has been studied for its ability to help stop the growth of bacteria as well as fungi. Cinnamon’s antimicrobial properties are so effective that research demonstrates this spice can be used as an alternative to traditional food preservatives.

Researchers at Kansas State University have found that spices is effective in eliminating E. coli bacteria. An outbreak of E. coli in 1996 was allegedly traced to unpasteurized apple juice that killed one child and sickened many others. After that E. coli outbreak the US government ordered all apple juice and other fruit juices to be pasteurized – henceforth killing all nutritional benefits of the natural fruit juices. Another E. coli outbreak years before destroyed all nutritional benefits of another essential food – milk. Pasteurization of milk destroys it life giving and anti-disease nutrients – including natural Vitamin D and essential natural probiotic bacteria. Any trace of E. coli in milk is eliminated naturally with raw unpasteurized milk’s probiotic bacteria.

Daniel Y.C. Fung, a Kansas State food microbiologist, and Erdogan Ceylan, a research assistant, studied the antagonistic effect different doses of cinnamon alone and in combination with preservatives would have on E. coli bacteria in apple juice. Ceylan added 1 million E. coli bacteria cells to one milliliter of pasteurized apple juice. The number of bacteria cells added to the juice was higher than the amount of bacteria cells that would be found in consumer food products and was done for experimental purposes only. After adding approximately 0.3 percent of cinnamon – roughly over one teaspoon of the spice to a 64-ounce bottle – about 99 percent of the E. coli was killed. Fung’s research found that several spices, including garlic, clove, cinnamon, oregano and sage killed 99 percent of E. coli bacteria.

There is absolutely no need to pasteurize, destroy or add harmful chemicals to our natural food supply when preparing and cooking our food with natural spices like garlic, clove, cinnamon, oregano and sage kills E. coli bacteria. More people will die as a result of pasteurization, crop destruction and adding harmful chemicals than from any E.coli outbreak.

Study: Garlic May Keep Osteoarthritis at Bay

The pungent herb touted for its culinary versatility and medicinal benefits for centuries, may be a natural weapon to fight hip osteoarthritis, claims a new study.

According to researchers at King's College London and the University of East Anglia, garlic, a rich source of allium, not only protects against hip osteoarthritis, but also contains certain compounds that have the potential for developing treatments for the painful condition.


Professor Ian Clark of the University of East Anglia stated, "Osteoarthritis is a major health issue and this exciting study shows the potential for diet to influence the course of the disease.


“With further work to confirm and extend these early findings, this may open up the possibility of using diet or dietary supplements in the future treatment osteoarthritis."


Study details


Researchers exploring the impact of dietary patterns on the development and prevention of hip osteoarthritis studied 1086 healthy female twins aged 46 to 77 years who had no symptoms of the painful condition.


For the purpose of the study, the investigators assessed their eating habits and also carried out x-ray scans to determine the extent of early osteoarthritis in the twins' hips, knees, and spine.


The researchers found that women who had a high intake of garlic exhibited lower levels of osteoarthritis in the hip joint.


The benefits of garlic compounds explored


To examine the pharmacological benefits of garlic, the researchers focused on the allium compounds present in the clove.


They found that the diallyl disulphide, an organic sulfur compound, limits the amount of cartilage-damaging enzymes when introduced to human cells in the lab.


Lead author of the study, Dr Frances Williams from the Department of Twin Research at King's College London stated, "While we don't yet know if eating garlic will lead to high levels of this component in the joint, these findings may point the way towards future treatments and prevention of hip osteoarthritis.


"It has been known for a long time that there is a link between body weight and osteoarthritis. Many researchers have tried to find dietary components influencing the condition, but this is the first large scale study of diet in twins.


“If our results are confirmed by follow-up studies, this will point the way towards dietary intervention or targeted drug therapy for people with osteoarthritis."


The study, sponsored by Arthritis Research UK, the Wellcome Trust, and Dunhill Medical Trust is published in the 'BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders' journal.


Health benefits of garlic


Garlic not only makes food tasty but can also significantly aid in the healing and even prevention of certain medical conditions.


The wonder food has been known to treat high cholesterol, parasites, respiratory problems, poor digestion, and low energy.


Regular consumption of garlic helps lower blood pressure, controls blood sugar, and boosts the immune system. It has also been found to reduce the risk of esophageal, stomach, and colon cancer.


Garlic is a natural antiseptic, has the ability to fight infections and bacteria, and is an effective cure for warts and other skin problems.


Though garlic does not cause any serious side effects, people who are allergic to it or who consume it in large quantities may suffer from stomach irritation, heartburn, or flatulence.


Due to garlic’s blood thinning properties, people going in for surgery should consult their doctor before taking garlic supplements.

Simple Secret to Boosting the Nutritional Density of the Foods You Eat…

Did you realize that every time you flavor your meals with herbs or spices you are literally "upgrading" your food – nutritionally and therapeutically?


What’s more, you’re doing so without adding a single calorie.


You’re taking something ordinary and turning it into something extraordinary by adding color, flavor, powerful nutrients and antioxidants, and yes, even proven medicinal properties.


These 20 herbs and spices will dramatically boost the nutritional density of the foods you eat, and thus magnify the benefits every meal you eat!


•rosemary and basil for their anti-inflammatory power


•cumin and sage for their dementia-fighting power


•cayenne and cinnamon for their obesity-fighting power


•coriander and cinnamon for their sugar regulating powers


•lemon grass, nutmeg, bay leaves and saffron for their calming effects on your mood


•turmeric for its cancer fighting power


•oregano for its fungus-beating power


•garlic, mustard seed and chicory for their heart-pumping power


•basil and thyme for their skin-saving power


•turmeric, basil, cinnamon, thyme, saffron, and ginger for their immune-boosting power


•coriander, rosemary, cayenne and allspice for their depression-busting power


Why add these herbs and spices?


They maximize nutrient density: Herbs and spices are packed with powerful concentrations of antioxidants, minerals and multivitamins. You only need to add a small amount of each herb or spice to add incredible taste to your food, and more importantly, to turn it into a nutrient-dense gift to your body!


They help create a more thermogenic diet: Because spices are nutrient dense, they are thermogenic, which means they naturally increase your metabolism. This is simply the easiest way in the world to help increase nutrient uptake and prevent weight gain!


They make you feel good: Don’t be surprised if you start noticing a distinct new outlook on life after you begin adding spices and herbs to your diet. Because of the added nutrient “punch” you’ll enjoy, your body and mind will inevitably respond favorably!


They have real medicinal properties: Study after study shows the benefits of distinct herbs and spices. For example, one 2003 trial of 60 people with type 2 diabetes reported that consuming as little as two teaspoons of cinnamon daily for six weeks reduced blood-glucose levels and improved blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, perhaps because insulin plays a key role in regulating fats in your body.


So learn to choose flavor over blandness every time, and try to incorporate these 20 specific herbs and spices into your diet as often as possible.


Not only will your food taste better, but its benefits to your body will be dramatically enhanced!
