Guest guest Posted September 12, 2000 Report Share Posted September 12, 2000 I would like to know why Joyce was banned from this group!!! I enjoyed what she had to offer and can not understand when someone is willing to offer so much why we would want to bann them. I don't remember her attacking folks character or calling people names, and yet she is not allowed to post anymore. Maybe someone can shed alittle light on the matter for me. There are not that many folks that contribute, and yet when someone like Joyce dedicates their time to share we find a reason to boot them off. It seems we fear those that want to talk about God and yet we have no problem letting the devil slip in the back door. So could someone please enlighten me and tell me why Joyce is no longer allowed?

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2000 Report Share Posted September 12, 2000 Thioproline - Healing power of Mushroom www.ighawaii.com/naturally/newsletter/mushroom.html QUOTE: " As a food only, mushrooms are quite extraordinary. They contain a broad range of vitamins, minerals and complete protein with all essential amino acids. The Greeks and Romans ate them for the strength they believed they produced for battle. " In this regards the Reishi, Shiitake, Maitake, Cordyceps and Coriolus mushrooms are of particular interest. These mushrooms produce a variety of complex compounds such as betaglucans, from which most of the health benefits are believed to be derived. " Some of the specifically active biochemicals include lentinan, eritadenine, heteroglycan, protein conjugates, and thioproline. These biologically active compounds have been shown in controlled scientific studies to increase survival in gastric cancer patients, to have antibacterial, antiviral and antiparasitic action, to be immunomodulatory, to improve blood lipid profiles, to block the carcinogenic activity of N-nitroso compounds, to improve liver function in hepatitis patients and even to inhibit the human immunodeficiency virus. They have also been demonstrated to enhance protein synthesis, help the liver detoxify, stimulate and regulate the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, protect against radiation, have anti-thrombotic activity, serve as biological response modifiers - and improve muscular dystrophy. " In searching the patent literature I have discovered that various mushrooms and isolated compounds from them are a part of patented products and processes such as antitumor preparations, liver stimulants, hypotensive preparations, liver stimulants, hypotensives preparations, hypocholesterolemic preparations, hypoglycemic preparations, chronic bronchitis treatments, immunologic agents, Alzheimer's Disease treatments, antibiotic-bacteriolytic enzymes, antimutagens, skin preparations, hair tonics, bath preparations, beverages, bone formation accelerators, and postoperative treatments. " The exact mechanism of action of medicinal-type mushrooms is only now beginning to be elucidated. Much of the activity, however, is likely due to the complex polysaccharides such as the beta-glucans which have cell surface activity. This interplay of mushrooms with polysaccharides on tissue-cell surfaces which affect cell-to-cell, tissue-to-tissue communication via cytokines and other biochemical intermediaries, along with the broad nutritional value of the mushrooms, is likely the key to the myriad beneficial activities. " The health enhancing potential of these mushrooms is quite " extraordinary. It is for this reason that various types of mushrooms have been incorporated into some of the Wysong supplements, such as Immulyn (immune system nutrition)... " Maitake mushroom, one of the ingredients in Immulyn, has been approved by the FDA for a phase II pilot study. The research will focus on the 1,3 and 1,6 beta glucan fractions on late stage III or early state IV adenocarcinomas of the breast and prostate. From Wysong Health Letter Shiitake The Shiitake mushroom is the SECOND most widely cultivated mushroom in the world and is both a prized medicine as well as a culinary delight. Because of its traditional use in folk medicine and its availability, it has been the subject of intense research. Cochran's review of medicinal mushrooms, " Medical Effects " (Biology and Cultivation of Edible Mushrooms, Academic Press, 1978), list Shiitake as having antifungal, anti-tumor, and antiviral effects. Shiitake also have the ability to lower high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and may also prevent the increase of chromosomal damage induced by anti-cancer drugs. Additionally, Shiitake contains all eight essential amino acids in better proportions than soy beans, meat, milk, or eggs as well as a good blend of vitamins and minerals including vitamins A, B, B12, C, D and Niacin. Shiitake produces a fat-absorbing compound which aids in weight reduction.

Health Benefits of Thioproline Detoxification... www.wellnessamerica.com/subscriber/amino_acids/Thioproline.htm - 3k QUOTE Description Thioproline is an endogenous Sulfuric (sulfhydryl) Amino Acid that is produced within the Liver. The chemical structure of TCA is similar to that of Penicillin (although its activity within the body differs to that of Penicillin). Health Benefits of Thioproline Detoxification Thioproline prevents the conversion of dietary Nitrites to Nitrosamines (by trapping them within the body, allowing their excretion via the Urine) (Abstracts). Metabolism Thioproline possesses Antioxidant properties. Thioproline protects the Liver from the damage induced by various toxins: - Thioproline protects the Liver against the toxic effects of Acetaminophen overdose. - Thioproline protects the Liver against the toxic effects of Tetracycline. - Thioproline protects the Liver against the toxic effects of Alcohol (ethanol). Dietary Sources of Thioproline Fungi: Shiitake Mushroom * Seafood: Cod * Thioproline is not present in raw or dried Shiitake Mushrooms, but is produced when Shiitake Mushrooms are boiled in Water for at least 5 minutes or when Shiitake Mushrooms are soaked in cold Water for 30 minutes. Using either of these processes, the Thioproline content of Shiitake Mushrooms increases to 700 mcg per 100 mg. Furthermore, if Shiitake Mushrooms are cooked together with Cysteine-rich foods (such as Chicken Liver) the Thioproline produced from Shiitake Mushrooms rises to 10 mg per 100 grams (of Shiitake Mushrooms). Clinical Availability of Thioproline Synthetic Thioproline has been synthesized and patented; and is classified as a Pharmaceutical Drug. Chemical Data Chemical Name: L-(-)-Thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid Molecular Formula: C4H7NO2S UNQUOTE I would opt for the natural Thioproline, rather than its synthetic form, since some synthetic compounds have been found to do harm to the body.

I enjoyed what she had to offer and can not understand when someone is willing to offer so much why we would want to bann them. I don't remember her attacking folks character or calling people names, and yet she is not allowed to post anymore. Maybe someone can shed alittle light on the matter for me. There are not that many folks that contribute, and yet when someone like Joyce dedicates their time to share we find a reason to boot them off. It seems we fear those that want to talk about God and yet we have no problem letting the devil slip in the back door. So could someone please enlighten me and tell me why Joyce is no longer allowed?

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2000 Report Share Posted September 12, 2000 Tis a sad day that someone is banned for talking about God, there has to be another reason. This is a joke right? Hey if I knew what to do maybe your right, one that allows the full meal deal, cause without it all, nobody really wins.
