A Real Breakthrough; New Formula,
What people say makes us excited::
Yes, I DID receive your new formula. Sorry I didn't
respond sooner, but I took some time off and went
away for a long weekend.
I am VERY impressed with the sample you sent.
I
have used it about six times now, and I have really
experienced great relief...more than any other product that I have tried so far! So, I am very happy to pass that news along to you. And, I am also very happy to have found a product that works.
It seems to work almost immediately. The smell as well as the color is much more pleasant than your last formula, too.
Congratulations on a very fine product!!
You must be very excited to share this with people.
Sincerely,
Mary Selfridge
Spicy Thai curry can scuttle cancer spread:
[Health India]: London, Feb 3 : According to researchers eating spicy Thai curry could inhibit the growth of cancer cells, reports the Sun.
Tests revealed that a ginger-like root used to flavour the dishes appears to kill cancer cells.
Now a team from King's College, London, believes the root can not only attack cancer cells but also protect healthy ones from cancer-causing substances.
The root, called galangal, is already used as an alternative treatment for stomach cancer in Indo-China and taken as an aphrodisiac.
Researchers who tested galangal extracts on breast and lung cancer cells found it reduced the incidence of the disease three- fold.
"Experiments show some basis to the claim that galangal could treat cancer. But we need to conduct more tests," study leader Prof Peter Houghton was quoted as saying. (ANI)

A bowl of Thai curry could help fight cancer
JIM MCBETH
SCIENTISTS seeking a cure for cancer revealed yesterday that a bowl of Thai curry has the potential to provide what is regarded as the Holy Grail of medicine.
Galangal - a plant root similar to ginger - is an ingredient in most Thai dishes and it has now been proved that an extract of the plant can both kill cancer cells and protect healthy ones from the disease.
And, as a not unwelcome by-product, the Thai people, who have used galangal as a medicine for aeons, promise it will also ease flatulence, cure dyspepsia and increase the libido.
The research, by a team at King’s College, London, have discovered galangal has the capability to activate an enzyme which attacks cancer cells.
Galangal is used in the preparation of most fresh curry pastes, and Professor Peter Houghton, who led the research, found that extract of the root provided a "dual" function of cure and protection which is very rare.
He said: "Normally, natural remedies do one thing or the other. Galangal appears to do both."
But he added: "We are not yet talking about cures for cancer. We have only added a page to the sum total of our knowledge."
His research into the medicinal properties of natural remedies has been going on for 30 years, and one in four medicines on the market is based on plant molecules, including drugs for the treatment of cancer and Alzheimer’s.
Prof Houghton added: "We’ve shown galangal can potentially kill cancerous cells and strengthen healthy cells, but there’s a way to go. However, there is a basis to claim it could be used to treat cancer.
"We need further tests, such as looking at whether people who eat galangal on a daily basis are less likely to suffer from cancer than those who do not.
"In the east, the line between food and medicine is more blurred," he went on. "Medicinal plants are regularly taken in food."
Natural remedies are common to Oriental culture. Galangal is used in Indo-China and Malaysia for cancer of the stomach.
The word is a Chinese corruption of "Khalanjan", which is Arabic for "mild ginger". The scientific endorsement of its properties came after Prof Houghton tested a number of Asian plants reputed to be medically beneficial.
He found that when galangal was added to liver cells in laboratory conditions it activated a detoxifying enzyme known as GST - Glutathione S-transferases - one of several important enzymes involved in excreting carcinogens.
Previous research has shown substances which increase activity of GST also prevent cells from becoming cancerous.
The research is not news to Thai people.
At the Erawan Thai restaurant, in Edinburgh, Benjapoin Craig - she married a Scot - said: "Galangal is regarded as a medicinal plant in Thailand and is a main ingredient of many Thai dishes such as dthom tay gy."
