While they do not lend themselves to being patented, nor will multi-billion dollar\u00a0human clinical trials\u00a0ever be funded to prove them efficacious, they have been used since time immemorial to both nourish our bodies and to prevent and treat disease.<\/p>\n<p>So valued were these in ancient times that they were worth their weight in gold, and entire civilizations either rose to great power or collapsed as a result of their relationship to them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pull-quote\">\n<p>Many of us use these daily, unaware that this is why we don\u2019t get sick.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>What is even more amazing is that many of these \u201cplant allies\u201d are found growing in our backyards, and often sitting there in our refrigerators and spice racks, neglected and under-appreciated.\u00a0 In fact, many of us use these daily, unaware that this is why we don\u2019t get sick as often as those who do not incorporate them into their diet. Let\u2019s look at a few examples.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Garlic<\/h2>\n<p>With the increasing prevalence of multi-drug resistant bacteria and the failure of the conventional, drug-based model to develop effective solutions against them (nor accepting responsibility\u00a0for creating them), spices have regained their once universal reign as broad-spectrum infection-fighters with sometimes life-saving power. Garlic, in fact, has several hundred therapeutic properties.<\/p>\n<p>Garlic\u2019s anti-infective properties include the following pathogens:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Amoeba entamoeba histolytica (parasite)<\/li>\n<li>Cholera<\/li>\n<li>Clostridium<\/li>\n<li>Cytomegalovirus<\/li>\n<li>Dermatophytoses (a type of topical fungal infection)<\/li>\n<li>Haemophilus influenzae<\/li>\n<li>Helicobacter pylori<\/li>\n<li>Herpes simplex virus Type 1<\/li>\n<li>Herpes simplex virus Type 2<\/li>\n<li>Klebsiella<\/li>\n<li>Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus A. (MRSA)<\/li>\n<li>Parainfluenza virus<\/li>\n<li>Peridontal infection<\/li>\n<li>Pneumococcal infections<\/li>\n<li>Pseudomonas aeruginosa<\/li>\n<li>Streptococcus mutans<\/li>\n<li>Streptococcus infections: Group A<\/li>\n<li>Streptococcus infections: Group B<\/li>\n<li>Streptococcus pyrogenes<\/li>\n<li>Thrush (oral fungal infection)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This amazing list underscores how important it is to keep a supply of garlic close by.<\/p>\n<h2>2.\u00a0Honey<\/h2>\n<p>Bees produce a wide range of therapeutic substances beyond honey, for example,\u00a0propolis, bee venom, royal jelly, beeswax, bee pollen, and the like, but this sweet, sticky stuff that we all love to dip our paw into occasionally, is the most well-known and most copiously consumed of them all\u2014and for good reason, it tastes great. But did you know that this sweet treat is one of nature\u2019s most powerful healing agents, as well?<\/p>\n<p>Here is just a smattering of some of honey\u2019s more scientifically researched health benefits and applications:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aspirin-induced gastrointestinal toxicity (honey coats the delicate linings of the stomach, preventing aspirin-induced lesions and bleeding)<\/li>\n<li>Bacterial infections<\/li>\n<li>Burns<\/li>\n<li>Candida infection (despite the fact that honey contains sugar, it demonstrates anti-fungal properties)<\/li>\n<li>Conjunctivitis<\/li>\n<li>Dental plaque (a recent study showed that Manuka honey was a viable alternative to chemical mouthwash in dissolving dental plaque)<\/li>\n<li>Dermatitis<\/li>\n<li>Diabetic Ulcer<\/li>\n<li>Herpes-related ulcers<\/li>\n<li>MRSA (especially for\u00a0Manuka honey)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are many more uses for honey than covered here. Needless to say, replacing synthetic sweeteners or highly processed sugars or high fructose corn syrup with a moderate amount of honey may be a great preventative health step to take.<\/p>\n<h2>3.\u00a0Apples<\/h2>\n<p>An apple a day does in fact keep the doctor away, especially cancer specialists, it would seem. For instance, one of the most well-established health benefits of consuming apples is to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. The more apples you consume, the less likely you are to develop this potentially fatal disease.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1888455\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy wp-image-1888455 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2015\/10\/31\/20151029-Fall-Foliage-Photos-Holly-Kellum-8290-674x449.jpg\" alt=\"Apples at Brown Barn Farms in Goshen on Oct. 29, 2015.

Turmeric<\/h2>\n<p>This is quite possibly the world\u2019s most important herb. Named \u201cKanchani,\u201d or literally \u201cGolden Goddess,\u201d in the ancient Indian healing tradition, its healing properties have been deeply appreciated, if not revered for countless centuries.<\/p>\n<p>Turmeric has been scientifically documented to have over 500 applications in disease prevention and treatment. It also has been shown to modulate over 150 distinct biological and genetic or epigenetic pathways of value in health, demonstrating a complexity as well as gentleness that no drug on the planet has ever been shown to possess.<\/p>\n<p>As there are too many health conditions that turmeric may benefit to list them all, this list is\u00a0the top 10:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Oxidative stress<\/li>\n<li>Inflammation<\/li>\n<li>DNA damage<\/li>\n<li>Lipid peroxidation<\/li>\n<li>Colorectal cancer<\/li>\n<li>Breast cancer<\/li>\n<li>Colon cancer<\/li>\n<li>Chemically induced liver damage<\/li>\n<li>Alzheimer\u2019s disease<\/li>\n<li>Tumors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Sayer Ji is the founder of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenmedinfo.com\/blog\/5-food-medicines-could-quite-possibly-save-your-life\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GreenMedInfo.com<\/a>,\u00a0where this article was originally published.\u00a0Join their free GreenMedInfo.com <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenmedinfo.com\/page\/newsletter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">newsletter<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of the most powerful medicines on the planet are masquerading as foods and spices.
