The Healing Power of Ginger
JAN 17
Zingiber Ocinale also known as Ginger Root, has been used as medicine in parts of world such as
Asia, India, and Arabia as herbal traditions since ancient times In !hina, for e"ample, ginger has been
used to help digestion and treat stomach upset, diarrhea, and nausea for more than #,$$$ years
Ginger is an incredible herb with powerful anti in%ammatory properties I can a&est to this, as I use
this herb regularly to manage in%ammation associated with an autoimmune disease that I ha'e known
as Ankylosing (pondilitis )h&p*++thepositi'epearcom+chronic,in'isible,illness+ankylosing,spondylitis+-
It.s also good for appro"imately /$$ other arthritic conditions including Osteoarthritis 0ecause

as the widespread musculoskeletal pain associated with ha'ing 7ibromyalgia
)h&p*++thepositi'epearcom+chronic,in'isible,illness+6bromyaglia+-
8here ha'e been studies on ginger comparing its ecacy to that of aspirin and not only did it take
smaller dosages to accomplish pain relief, there were also no known side e5ects In further
comparison to aspirin, it is common knowledge that doctor.s recommend daily usage of aspirin to
inhibit the blood thickening en9yme which can lead to clogged arteries 8he only issue with
taking aspirin daily are the potential side e5ects, such as stomach upset, bleeding ulcers, 1oint
discomfort and a potentially compromised immune system Other studies show that regular aspirin
consumption increases the rate of mortality, and this would include the use 2(AI3s One way to
successfully accomplish the e5ects of aspirin without the harmful side e5ects, is to substitute with the
use of Ginger Root A cardiology clinic in an Israeli hospital now recommends that all of its patients
take /+# teaspoon of ginger daily in place of aspirin Ginger is 4uickly becoming the :wonder herb;
because of its incredible healing e5ects on the circulatory system, e'en transcending the potential of
many modern cardio'ascular drugs <eart disease is the =/ killer in >nited (tates, and indi'iduals are
becoming more :heart health; aware, wanting positi'e results without the harmful side e5ects, so its
no wonder that ginger is growing by leaps and bounds in its popularity
A group of researchers from !ornell ?edical (chool published an article in the 2ew @ngland Aournal
of ?edicine in /BC$ con6rming that ginger did in fact inhibit the life,threatening process of platelet
aggregation 0ecause of ginger.s many physical healing properties, it
o5ers synergistic cardio'ascular e5ects, such as antio"idant, strengthening of the heart muscle and
lowering serum cholesterol Ginger is known to actually pre'ent cholesterol biosynthesis
0ecause of Ginger.s stimulation of immunity and inhibition of platelet aggregation, it has a positi'e
in%uence on cancer patients Ginger also soothes the stomach and aids in digestion, so for this reason
its great for symptoms relating to irritable bowel syndrome )I0(-, %u, stomach upset, nausea, 'omiting,
morning sickness, e'en chemotherapy related nausea It also eases cold symptoms, and works as a
catalyst for other herbs making their e5ects stronger, so for this reason you.ll want to be mindful of
other herbs and medications that you decide to use with Ginger 0ecause of Ginger.s e5ects on the
circulatory system and its ability to regulate blood sugar it is great for diabetics and for those looking to
gi'e a boost to their reproducti'e system Researchers ha'e concluded there is a signi6cant increase in
the sperm swimming ability and sperm content associated with ginger consumption, so with this being
said Ginger has the ability to increase fertility

takes place and once your symptoms subside, you might 6nd that you can return to eating higher
amounts of starch when you.re feeling well, while limiting the amounts of starch on high %are days
Oou are probably wondering how to start and precisely what you can eat I would highly suggest using
a food 1ournal to note your reactions to speci6c foods, then immediately begin eliminating the ma1or
culprits such as* processed foods, breads, pastas, cakes, potatoes and all %our products 7ocus more on
eating 'egetables, then note how your body reacts when eating these foods Oou might 6nd that you
are 6ne with eating some higher starch 'eggies than you were with eating simple carbohydrates, or you
might 6nd that you.ll also need to eliminate starchy 'egetables as well Khen eliminating high starch
foods from your diet, do so one by one It is important to log your physical reactions for your own
knowledge and when communicating your e"periences to your doctor Leep li4uid iodine on hand to

tested portions- I.ll e'entually post a low,starch food list and as this blog is new, there are a few
low,starch recipes and food suggestions, but more are coming
"s this Diet ndorsed 0( Doctors7 ?ost doctors typically a'oid recommending a speci6c
eating regimen to control symptoms and usually lea'e this decision to their patients: Aust so you.re
aware, eating less than /D$ grams of carbs per day, can lead to a buildup of keatones in the body
Letosis can not only a5ect the breath, but can lead to a build up of uric acid in the blood According to
the American ?edical Association, it is also important to limit the amounts of purine rich foods, when
following a higher protein, low,carb or low,starch eating regimen, as high le'els of uric acid in the
blood cause crystals in the 1oints contributing to Gout Khen you must maintain a low,starch diet to
control symptoms of A(, or related I0(, it really becomes about choosing the lessor of two e'ils
<owe'er, it is helpful to eat at least the minimum amount of carbs and a'oid e"cessi'e amounts of
purine rich foods such as* ancho'ies, mushrooms, spinach, asparagus I cauli%ower Instead eat higher
amounts of low,purine fruits I 'egetables, while speci6cally increasing your intake of salmon, %a" I
6sh oils, such as omega D,G,BZs, dark berries and sugar,free,/$$V pure cranberry 1uice to cleanse
the kidneys to a'oid >8Is and perhaps e'en kidney stones 0e sure to also drink plenty of water, as a
higher protein, low,starch and low,carb diets can easily dehydrate
8hough there are many highly marketed low carb diets which are all the new cra9e, it is not
recommended that otherwise healthy indi'iduals engage in low,carb or low,starch eating, other than
those looking for alternati'e methods to managing symptoms of speci6c diseases or chronic conditions,
such as Ankylosing (pondylitis, !hronic 7atigue (yndrome, 7ibromyalgia, 3iabetes I I0( to mention a
few It is highly recommended that you educate yourself about your disease or chronic in'isible illness
