68-year-old Orthodox priest Fr Dimitry Sidor has been served a mobilisation summons by Zelensky's Government in the city of Uzghorod in Western Ukraine. The Zelensky regime has no morals, ethics or honour. They are desperately forcibly mobilising old men, women, disabled people and even priests to die in a war for NATO's interests.

https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/8-powerhouse-substances-relieve-mental-fatigue When mental fatigue hits you, choose from the most effective natural remedies. Researchers have found that certain areas of the brain -- the nucleus accumbens, orbitofrontal cortex, amygdala, insula and anterior cingulate cortex -- weigh the costs and benefits of performing a task. If the energy needed is higher than what one gets out of doing an activity (satisfaction, reward, praise), mental fatigue occurs.[i] Mental fatigue -- drowsiness, difficulty concentrating, decreased alertness, disordered thinking, slow reactions, lethargy, reduced work efficiency and making more mistakes -- is usually caused by long-term cognitive activities that can seriously impact the brain's cognitive function.[ii] The effects of mental fatigue can result in decreases in cognition -- foggy brain, burnout or depression,[iii] executive decision-making and impaired physical performance -- more car accidents, [iv] pilot errors,[v],[vi] and difficulty in endurance tasks.[vii],[viii] It can also negatively affect patients with chronic fatigue syndrome,[ix] cancers,[x] multiple sclerosis,[xi] Alzheimer's disease[xii] or Parkinson's disease.[xiii],[xiv] Natural substances including tart cherries, herbal teas -- rosemary or ginseng -- improved gut bacteria, chaga mushrooms, sesame seeds paired with astaxanthin, spirulina and chicken extract are eight highly effective ways to relieve mental fatigue. 1. Tart Cherries Tart cherries are known for their high levels of polyphenols along with strong antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties.[xv] Drinking tart cherry juice has also proven effective in athletic performance recovery.[xvi],[xvii],[xviii] In research of 50 middle-aged adults, half were assigned to drink tart Montmorency cherry juice --30 milliliters (ml) twice daily -- and the other half took a similarly-sized placebo juice for three months. The tart cherry group had higher accuracy in digit vigilance with fewer false alarms in numerical cognitive tasks, higher alertness and lower mental fatigue ratings than the placebo group. Plasma metabolomics also revealed an increase in some amino acids -- which are important to effective neural transmissions -- in response to tart cherry intake, which did not present in those taking the placebo.[xix] Tart cherry juice -- 240 ml compared to 240 ml placebo juice in the morning and before bedtime for two weeks -- was effective for treating insomnia in a small pilot study (eight people) due to its high content of procyanidins. Insomnia was defined as having difficulty initiating sleep, maintaining sleep or getting high quality sleep. It also included at least one daytime complaint, such as fatigue, poor attention, concentration or memory impairment; social vocational dysfunction, poor school performance, mood disturbances, daytime sleepiness, reduced energy, proneness for errors or accidents, tension, headaches, gastrointestinal symptoms or concerns about sleep.[xx] 2. Rosemary Tea Herbal treatments and essential oils are being used more frequently for dealing with stress, burnout and fatigue. Herbs have been found to modulate the body's stress response.[xxi] In an experimental study of 66 employees, aged between 20 and 60 years, half received 4 grams (g) of rosemary in 150 ml of hot water per day for two months. The control group, on the other hand, did not receive anything. Results revealed that rosemary tea had a significantly positive effect on employee burnout compared to placebo.[xxii] In a randomized pilot study, 14 participants received either a personal inhaler containing a mixture of essential oils or rose water as a placebo three times a day for three weeks. The aromatherapy group had a much greater reduction in mental exhaustion and moderate burnout.[xxiii] 3. Ginseng and Rhodiola Rosea Ginseng is composed of ginsenosides with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer effects. Clinical research studies show ginseng can improve mood disorders,[xxiv] psychological function, immune function, weakness and fatigue.[xxv],[xxvi] Ginseng can also affect the aging process by impacting your sleep-wake cycle, metabolism and cognition.[xxvii] Further, in a study of 161 healthy cadets aged from 19 to 21 years, those who took two capsules of SHR-5 Rhodiola rosea extract showed a pronounced anti-fatigue effect for mental work against a background of fatigue, stress and anxiety when compared to a placebo.[xxviii] 4. Astaxanthin and Sesamin Severe fatigue can negatively affect quality of life, and oxidative stress may play a significant role. Dietary supplementation of astaxanthin and sesamin (from sesame seeds) (AS) -- two strong food-derived antioxidants -- could address issues with fatigue. In a study of 24 healthy volunteers supplemented with AS or a placebo, each for four weeks, the AS group had significantly improved recovery from mental fatigue compared with the placebo group.[xxix] To examine the effects of an AS supplement on cognitive function, 21 participants with mild cognitive impairment were given an AS capsule -- 3 mg of astaxanthin, 5 mg of sesamin -- twice daily or a placebo supplement for 12 weeks. Results showed supplementation with AS improved cognitive decline/dysfunction related to the ability to comprehend and perform complex tasks quickly and accurately.[xxx] 5. Chaga Mushrooms In addition to having antitumor, antiviral and immunity-boosting properties from polyphenols and polysaccharides,[xxxi] chaga mushrooms (Inonotus obliquus) also postpone physical fatigue and improve mental fatigue.[xxxii] 6. Spirulina A wealth of in vivo, animal and human research supports the brain health potential of spirulina, highlighting antioxidant,[xxxiii],[xxxiv] anti-inflammatory[xxxv],[xxxvi] and neuroprotective[xxxvii],[xxxviii],[xxxix] mechanisms. Preliminary clinical studies have also suggested that spirulina helps reduce mental fatigue and protects the vascular wall of brain vessels from damage.[xl] In a randomized study of spirulina supplementation in men, the group taking 3 g per day of spirulina produced an increase in exercise output -- 30 minutes on a cross trainer machine -- within four hours of the exercise and eight weeks later. In a subjective survey, the men also reported improvements in mental and physical fatigue within four hours and eight weeks later in the spirulina group compared to the placebo.[xli] In a study of 60 rats, the animals were divided evenly between control group, exercise group, exercise and spirulina polysaccharides -- doses of 50, 100 or 200 mg per kilogram (kg) -- treated groups, and exercise and caffeine (10 mg/kg)-treated group (positive control) with the exercise of running on a treadmill for 30 minutes each day for six days in a row. On the seventh day, spirulina was found to prolong the time to exhaustion more effectively during the treadmill exercise in a dose-dependent way compared to the other groups.[xlii] 7. Extract of Chicken In a human experiment, 20 healthy male students were given two bottles of chicken extract called Brand's Essence of Chicken or a placebo (70 ml per bottle) daily in the morning for one week. The task performance of subjects -- a mean arithmetic test and a short term memory test -- significantly improved with the chicken extract compared with the placebo group. From a mood state questionnaire, subjects also felt more active and less fatigued during the workload and their blood profile showed high cortisol levels -- a signal of stress -- recovered faster when they took the chicken extract regularly.[xliii] 8. Probiotic -- Bifidobacterium Longum Mounting evidence suggests gut microbiota not only regulate intestinal function and health but also play a role in mental health via the gut-brain axis.[xliv] Using single probiotics - Bifidobacterium longum (B. longum) -- at a low dose of less than 10 colony forming units per day (cfu/d) and a short treatment duration -- less than eight weeks -- was found to be more effective with respect to overall symptom response and quality of life issues in treating gut diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome.[xlv] In a scientific research experiment, 40 healthy volunteers received either the probioticB. longum 1714™or a placebo for four weeks at a dose of 10 cfu/d. Only the probiotic group had modulated resting neural activity, which enhanced vitality, and reduced mental fatigue. Neural responses during social stress, which activated brain coping centers to counteract negative emotions, were also impacted.[xlvi] Superstars for Mental Fatigue Given the stressors in the workplace, ever burgeoning workloads with little reward and the increased frenetic activities that social media and technologies produce, it is no surprise that mental fatigue is affecting the long term health, happiness and performance of people. Luckily, there are some real superfoods (tart cherries, ginseng, rosemary, spirulina, chicken extract, AS, chaga mushrooms and probiotic B. longum) that can reduce mental fatigue and other associated symptoms such as burnout, sleep issues, stress, anxiety, depression, making mistakes, cognitive decline and physical fatigue.

We the Patriots USA say that “this is the movie we wish we didn’t have to make. But this is a movie everyone needs to see.” The new movie – ‘Shot Dead’ – released on 9 November documents the stories of children killed by the covid injections as told by their parents. Hear from the families brave enough to speak up and admit that the shot killed their children. Hear from the ones who have refused to keep quiet. We all know that there are so many who have sold out to pharma, denying that their loved ones were hurt or killed by the shots. But there is no amount of money or threats that can keep these parents from speaking the truth in honour of their children – and so this doesn’t happen to one more child. This is the first film that focuses on the deeply personal aspect of the devastation unleashed by the shot and the mandates, as told by the families who lost loved ones. This film will make you cry. This film will make you think. And this film will prompt you to take action for children everywhere. Official website: Shot Dead Movie

https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-11-12-king-charles-ban-cigarettes-uk-tobacco-nicotine.html King Charles announces TOTAL BAN on cigarette smoking in UK – is it because the nicotine in tobacco helps protect against COVID? At the state opening of the British Parliament this week, King Charles shocked the nation with a plan to completely ban smoking all throughout the United Kingdom. In his King's Speech, which ceremonially marks the beginning of the new legislative year, King Charles revealed that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will be imposing a historic crackdown on cigarettes and the smoking of tobacco. The first phase involves passing legislation to raise the legal age for buying cigarettes. In every year that follows, the legal age will be raised again and again until eventually there are no more smokers left in Great Britain. "We must tackle the single biggest entirely preventable cause of ill health, disability, and death," Sunak previously stated in anti-tobacco messaging to the nation. "And that is smoke, and our country. Smoking causes one in four cancer deaths," he further proclaimed. If the plan moves forward as intended, a 14-year-old living in the UK today will never legally be sold a cigarette. (Related: Research out of Texas A&M University found that nicotine can help protect aging brains against Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.) Is nicotine all bad? Nicotine can actually be beneficial in protecting against cytokine storms. The first of the smoking ban legislation will be subject to a "free vote," meaning Members of Parliament (MPs) will not be told how they should vote by party enforcers. The Labour Party has confirmed, however, that it intends to vote alongside the Conservative government to pass the bill, which means it is "expected to fly through," to quote The Sun. "People take up cigarettes when they are young," Sunak claims. "Four in five smokers have started by the time they are 20. Later, the vast majority try to quit." "But many fail because they are addicted and they wish they had never taken up the habit in the first place. If we could break that cycle, if we could stop the start, then we would be on our way to ending the biggest cause of preventable death and disease in our country." Along with many other things on the world stage right now that are slated to reach their endgame on this particular timeline, England intends to become completely smoke-free by the year 2030, meaning fewer than five percent of the public using cigarettes. There has been much speculation over the years as to why governments of the world really want people to stop smoking. It cannot be about public health, otherwise they would ban other things like genetically modified organisms (GMOs), vaccines, fluoridated water, 5G, and many, many other things that are much more dangerous than the tobacco plant. It may come as a shock to some, but there are actually some medicinal benefits to tobacco and its nicotine constituents. For one, nicotine inhibits cytokine storms, also known as hypercytokinemia, an overreactive innate immune response that releases too many pro-inflammatory signaling molecules, sometimes resulting in death. The issue of tobacco and cytokine storms came up more than once during the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) "pandemic" when it was discovered that nicotine actually provides protective benefits for the lungs when faced with severe respiratory infections. "Statistical surveys of COVID-19 patients indicate, against all common logic, that people who smoke are less prone to the infection and / or exhibit less severe respiratory symptoms than non-smokers," reads the abstract of one study about all this that was published in the journal Immunology Letters (Elsevier). "This suggests that nicotine may have some preventive or modulatory effect on the inflammatory response in the lungs. Because it is known that the response to, and resolution of the SARS-CoV-2 infection depends mainly on the lung macrophages, we discuss the recent scientific findings, which may explain why and how nicotine may modulate lung macrophage response during COVID-19 infection." When Big Brother – or in this case, Big Royalty – tells you something has to be banned in order to protect public health, you are probably being lied to.

Massie, disappointed in his amendment, known as Part B Amendment No. 60, to H.R. 4820, the "Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2024," tweeted the following after it was shot down, including by 19 House Republicans who voted against it. "The federal government has mandated that all vehicles sold after 2026 must have a kill switch that can disable your vehicle based on your driving performance," Massie "tweeted" on X (formerly Twitter). "My amendment to defund that unconstitutional mandate failed tonight." (Related: America is waiting to see how Rep. Rand Paul [R-Ky.] and Rep. Massie will hold Tony Fauci accountable for his crimes against humanity during COVID.) USA Today lied to America about there being "no vehicle 'kill switch' in Biden's 2021 infrastructure bill" It should be noted that prior to Massie's amendment, the media was busy denying that there was even a kill switch provision in the Biden infrastructure bill at all. USA Today, for instance, reported back in January that: "No, there's no vehicle 'kill switch' in Biden's 2021 infrastructure bill." The article continues to repeat this lie again and again, only to end the piece with an admission that: "Whether or not the technology will become a part of the infrastructure bill's final rule remains to be seen ..." It turns out that the infrastructure bill does contain provisions for a kill switch, prompting Massie to send USA Today a copy of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act with the following entry in the "Definitions" section circled: "The term 'advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology means a system that ... can ... passively monitor the performance of the driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired; and ... prevent or limit motor vehicle operation if an impairment is detected ..." In other words, new cars in 2026 and beyond will contain not just a breathalyzer ignition interlock but also an embedded kill switch that allows a third party, including the government, to turn off a person's car, leaving him or her stranded until someone reengages the vehicle. "If you’re crawling through traffic in 2025 and approach a traffic light, IBM hopes it will be able to take control of your car," reads a 2010 report explaining that this type of remote disablement technology for cars has been in the works for some time now. "And according to the patent, you won’t be able to go again until it lets you ... With a laptop and customised software called CarShark, the researchers disabled the brakes of a regular family car and switched its engine off – while it was moving." Several years prior in 2008, it was mandated that all new American cars be outfit with CAN (Controller Area Network), a standard protocol for enabling all the car's electronics to "talk to each other." There is even now talk of creating "smart guns" that can be used to disable someone's firearm in the much the same way – for the "safety" of the children, of course. Such technology is described by writer Vin Suprynowicz as an "electronic master key" that has the capacity to "disable" any "smart guns" inside a person's home. This, it is speculated, will be used to outlaw all firearms that do not have disablement technology, a direct assault on the Second Amendment.

https://expose-news.com/2023/11/13/the-israel-times-reports-israel-seeking-to-appoint-uks-tony-blair-as-gaza-humanitarian-coordinator/ The Israel Times has reported that Israel is seeking to install former British prime minister Tony Blair as a humanitarian coordinator for the Gaza Strip, according to a report Sunday, out of a desire to improve the humanitarian situation inside the Palestinian enclave and reduce international pressure as it continues to wage its war on Hamas. Source. Is he really the best man for the job given his past experience? The Ynet news outlet, citing unnamed senior officials, said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hopes to leverage Blair’s experience as former envoy to the region for the Middle East Quartet to temper international concerns over the civilian cost of Israel’s campaign in Gaza. Although Ynet said the exact definition, scope and authority of the proposed role had not yet been clearly defined, adding that there would be an emphasis on “providing medical treatment and medicines, and on the possibility of evacuating the wounded and sick from the Strip.” Source According to the report, efforts at easing the humanitarian situation in Gaza are being coordinated by Israel’s health and defense ministries, with the former assisting in a number of projects in recent weeks, including efforts by international actors to set up field hospitals in Egypt and the arrival of a hospital ship from France. Source People are a Tad Surprised at the News Previous Experience The above tweet is obviously referring to Tony Blair‘s past experience of choosing to commit British troops in joining the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, which deserves a mention here at this time. An inquiry was conducted by Sir john Chilcot namely, “the Chilcot inquiry and said that the decision the then Prime Minister Blair’s cabinet to invade was made in circumstances that were “far from satisfactory.” The Inquiry found: * Blair had chosen for Britain to join the US invasion of Iraq before peaceful options for disarmament had been exhausted and military action was not a last resort (source). * He deliberately exaggerated the threat posed by Saddam Hussein and the threat posed by the Iraqi regime as he sought to make the case for military action to MPs and the public in the buildup to the invasion in 2002 and 2003. (source). * Blair disregarded warnings about the potential consequences of military action, and relied too heavily on his own beliefs, rather than the more nuanced judgments of the intelligence services. * Judgments about Iraq’s capabilities …” were presented with a certainty that was not justified,” the report says (source). * The decision to invade was made in unsatisfactory circumstances (source). * Britain’s intelligence agencies produced “flawed” information about Saddam’s alleged weapons of mass destruction, the basis for going to war. and made no attempt to consider the possibility that he had got rid of them, which he had. (source). According to the inquiry there had been no imminent threat from Saddam Hussein and Blair was also told between early 2002 and March 2003 Blair that, post-invasion, Iraq could degenerate into civil war. In September 2002, the US Secretary of State, Colin Powell, predicted “a terrible bloodletting of revenge after Saddam goes.” Britain’s previous strategy of containment could have been adopted and continued for some time and had Tony Blair refused for the UK to join the US in the war there would no have been a lasting change in the UK’s relationship with the US” yet wrote to George W Bush eight months before the Iraq invasion to offer his unqualified backing for war well before UN weapons inspectors had completed their work, saying: “I will be with you, whatever” (source). Unnecessary Deaths The UK military were seriously ill-equipped for the task in Iraq and “humiliating” deals were stuck with enemy militias. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) planned the invasion in a rush and was slow to react to the security threats on the ground, particularly the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) that killed so many British troops. The invasion and subsequent occupation resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of individuals as well as the displacement of over 4 million others in Iraq. Chilcot said that by 2009, when UK forces were pulled out of Iraq,. Iraq was gripped by “deep sectarian divisions”. There was a fragile situation in Basra, rows over oil revenues, and rampant corruption inside Iraqi government ministries. Chilcot describes as “meagre” the results of Britain’s costly six-year occupation, according to Chilcot. War Crimes The Chilcot inquiry’s conclusion that the unnecessary invasion of Iraq undermined the United Nations required the prosecution of Tony Blair. The High court however ruled that Tony Blair should not face prosecution for his role in the 2003 Iraq war, as according to the lord chief justice, Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd, and another senior judge, Mr Justice Ouseley, there was no crime of aggression in English law under which the former prime minister could be charged. Michael Mansfield QC, argued that the international crime of a war of aggression had been accepted by then UK attorney general Sir Hartley Shawcross QC in the 1940s, at the time of the Nuremberg trials of Nazi war crimes. The decision also blocked an attempt by a former Iraqi general, Abdulwaheed al-Rabbat, to bring a private war crimes prosecution against the former Labour leader. Imran Khan, the solicitor who represented the general, said: “Iraq has been left decimated and in a state of chronic instability. Despite all of this, and the clear findings of the Chilcot inquiry which laid bare the conduct of those that should be held to account, the high court has confirmed that there is to be no accountability. Those responsible are to remain unpunished. This is not justice.” He continued. “Other countries, including Germany, Kosovo, and Serbia, have enacted domestic legislation, Khan said. “The failure of the British government to give tangible commitment to the prosecution of the crime of aggression undermines the rule of law. It sets a dangerous precedent in times of global insecurity and sets an example to the rest of the world of how to commit the most serious of crimes and get away with it” (source). The former Labour leader and British prime minister from 1997 to 2007, has no qualms to accuse others of “savagery.” The Man For The Job Strangely enough, someone thinks that Blair who was the envoy for the Quartet from 2007 to 2015 is the man for the job. The Israel Times says “The Middle East Quartet consists of the United Nations, the European Union, the United States and Russia, and was established to help mediate Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations. It has been largely inactive in recent years, as Western relations with Russia have soured.” Source Blair’s office said in a statement to Ynet that “Mr. Blair maintains an office in Israel and he continues to work on matters tied to Israel and the Palestinians. Understandably, he has conversations with people in the region and other places in order to see what can be done, but he was not given or offered the role.” However, the report also indicated Blair has been contacted on the matter and talks have been ongoing in recent weeks. The former British leader’s office told Ynet in response that “he has not been given or offered a position,” but did not directly deny any contact.” It’s a mad world.

https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/power-peppermint-15-health-benefits-revealed1 A favorite herbal medicine of the ancients, peppermint leaves have been found in Egyptian pyramids dating back to 1,000 BC. Modern scientific investigations have now confirmed that this remarkable plant has over a dozen healing properties. In our continuing effort to educate folks to the vast array of healing agents found in the natural world around us, we are excited to feature peppermint, a member of the aromatic mint family that you may already have squirreled away somewhere in your kitchen cupboard. While most have experienced peppermint as a flavoring agent, or perhaps as a comforting cup of herbal tea, few are aware of its wide range of experimentally confirmed therapeutic properties. The ancients certainly were aware of the mint family's medicinal value, having been used as herbal medicines in ancient Egypt, Greek and Rome thousands of years ago.[i] Dried peppermint leaves have even been found in several Egyptian pyramids carbon dating back to 1,000 BC. Today, modern scientific investigations are revealing an abundance of potential health benefits associated with the use of different components of the peppermint plant, including aromatherapeutic, topical and internal applications. Most of the human research on peppermint performed thus far indicates this plant has great value in treating gastrointestinal disorders, including: Irritable Bowel Syndrome - Since the late 90's it was discovered that enteric-coated peppermint oil capsules are safe and effective in the treatment of this increasingly prevalent disorder.[ii] This beneficial effect extends to the pediatric community. In one children's trial 75% of those receiving peppermint oil had reduced severity of pain associated with IBS within 2 weeks.[iii] Another 2005 trial in adults concluded that "Taking into account the currently available drug treatments for IBS Peppermint oil (1-2 capsules t.i.d. over 24 weeks) may be the drug of first choice in IBS patients with non-serious constipation or diarrhea to alleviate general symptoms and to improve quality of life."[iv] In another 2007 trial 75% of patients receiving peppermint oil saw an impressive 50% reduction of "total irritable bowel syndrome score."[v] Most recently, a study published January of this year found that peppermint oil was effective in relieving abdominal pain in diarrhea predominant irritable bowel syndrome.[vi] Colonic spasm - Peppermint oil has been studied as a safe and effective alternative to the drug Buscopan for its ability to reduce spasms during barium enemas.[vii] [viii] Gastric Emptying Disorders - Peppermint has been found to enhance gastric emptying, suggesting its potential use in a clinical setting for patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders.[ix] Functional dyspepsia - A 2000 study published in the journal Ailment Pharmacology and Therapy found that 90 mg of peppermint oil and 50 mg of caraway oil resulted in 67% of patients reporting "much or very much improved" in their symptoms of functional dyspepsia. [x] Infantile Colic: A 2013 study found that peppermint is at least as effective as the chemical simethicone in the treatment of infantile colic.[xi] Other studied applications include Breastfeeding Associated Nipple Pain and Damage: A 2007 study found that peppermint water prevented nipple cracks and nipple pain in breastfeeding mothers.[xii] Tuberculosis: A 2009 study found that inhaled essential oil of peppermint was able to rapidly regress tuberculous inflammation, leading the authors to conclude: "This procedure may be used to prevent recurrences and exacerbation of pulmonary tuberculosis."[xiii] Allergic rhinitis (hay fever): A 2001 preclinical study found that extracts of the leaves of peppermint inhibit histamine release indicating it may be clinically effective in alleviating the nasal symptoms of allergic rhinitis.[xiv] Shingles Associated Pain (Post-Herpetic Neuralgia): A 2002 case study found that topical peppermint oil treatment resulted in a near immediate improvement of shingles associated neuropathic pain symptoms; the therapeutic effects persisted throughout the entire 2 months of follow-up treatment. [xv] Memory problems: A 2006 study found that the simple aroma of peppermint enhances memory and increases alertness in human subjects.[xvi] Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea: A 2013 study found that peppermint oil was found to be effective in reducing chemotherapy-induced nausea, and at reduced cost versus standard drug-based treatment.[xvii] Prostate Cancer: Preclinical research indicates that peppermint contains a compound known as menthol which inhibits prostate cancer growth.[xviii] [xix] Radiation Damage: Preclinical research indicates peppermint protects against radiation-induced DNA damage and cell death.[xx] [xxi] Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1: Peppermint has been found to have inhibitory activity against acyclovir-resistant Herpes Simplex virus type 1.[xxii] [xxiii] Dental Caries/Bad Breath: Peppermint oil extract has been found to be superior to the mouthwash chemical chlorhexidine inhibiting Streptococus mutans driven biofilm formation associated with dental caries.[xxiv] [xxv] This may explain why powdered peppermint leaves were used in the Middle Ages to combat halitosis and whiten teeth. Peppermint is actually a hybridized cross between Water Mint (Mentha aquatica) and Spearmint (Mentha spicata),[xxvi] the latter of which has also been researched to possess remarkable therapeutic properties, such as the ability to exert significant anti-androgenic effects in polycystic ovarian syndrome[xxvii] and ameliorating the related condition of mild hirsutism, marked by excessive hair growth in females.[xxviii] Like all plant medicines, extreme caution must be exercised when using extracts and especially essential oils. Also, remember that more is not always better. A recent study on the use of rosemary in improving cognitive performance in the elderly found that a lower 'culinary' dose (750 mg) was not only more effective in improving cognition (as measured by memory speed) than a higher dose, but the highest dose (6,000 mg) had a significant memory impairing effect.[xxix] This illustrates quite nicely how less can be more, and why an occasional nightly cup of peppermint tea may be far superior as preventive strategy than taking large 'heroic' doses of an herb only after a serious health problem sets in. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Resources [i] A.

which would make sense since that would be the biggest target, especially when shooting from a moving helicopter. A gut shot for any animal, but especially a horse, would lead to an unimaginably agonising and slow, torturous death for these magnificent creatures. The surrounding horses and foals would have to watch their fellows suffer and die a cruel fate for several days. What is going on right now in the Kosciuszko National Park, thanks to Penny Sharpe, is a national disgrace and an abomination. YOUR HELP IS NEEDED! Please send a firm but RESPECTFUL email to; office@sharpe.minister.nsw.gov.au Demanding an independent environmental impact study and an independent headcount of the Brumbies. DEMAND THE CULL BE STOPPED NOW!" https://t.me/daveoneegsauschat ______________________________________________________________________________ "Dear Ms Sharpe, I implore you to look at the evidence of blatant animal cruelty and mismanagement by parks and wildlife services towards our beloved heritage brumbies. We all know there are less than 3,000 left in the park. What will you do after they're all gone? Bring in cattle, goats and sheep? How can anybody be so callous towards the most iconic Australian Heritage Horse? It's time to turn the page on this horrific time in Australia's history and close the book on grossly inhumane slaughter of our protected wild animals. It is foal season. We have lots of footage of dead and dying baby foals - their blood is on the hands of the bureaucrats who have rubber stamped these aerial culls. We will expose you all in the end. It is our duty now as a nation to protect the last of them. As a country of proud Aussies we need to do better than make gross errors in judgement and attempt to "shut the gate once the horse has already bolted". When these few last Brumbies run out - their kind is lost forever. You are making them extinct. And they matter. Their bloodlines matter - they have been a positive part of the ecosystem which has sustained them well for hundreds of years. Will you be the one to save them? Or gun for the last of them and fill the mares with bullets while their young are eaten from her womb by wild predators? Your choice, to be a hero or a heinous and harsh bureaucrat. We all pray you decide to do what is right and end these culls forever. There are better ways forward. Their numbers are already well below the sustainable numbers for the park. Their bodies are rotting in the pristine waterways already. We will show the public your bad deeds.
