Survivalist Guide Ecclesiasticus 1:18

The fear of the Lord is a crown of wisdom, making peace and perfect health to flourish; both which are the gifts of God: and it enlargeth their rejoicing that love him.

Cayenne Pepper

Cayenne pepper has been called "the king of herbs" with good reason, as it has been used for thousands of years for its healing powers. Many nations from around the world have recounted the amazing results of this simple healing herb. The Secret of Cayenne pepper is contained in a component known as capsicum, which neutralizes what, is referred to substance P, a neuropeptide linked to the cause of inflammation in the body. The highest content of capsicum can be found in the hottest forms of chili peppers, cayenne pepper being amongst these along with others such as habanero and scotch bonnet.

It is not surprising that cayenne peppers as well as other chili peppers can trace their seven thousand year history from the Islands of the Caribbean, to Central and South American, regions whose cuisines are renowned for their hot and spicy flavors. They have been cultivated in these regions for more than seven thousand years, first as a decorative item and later as a foodstuff and medicine. The people of the West Indies soak the pods in water, add sugar and juice of sour oranges, and drink it freely in fevers. They have no fears of fatal effects from colds or plagues like yellow fever as long as they can get plenty of capsicum. They not only drink the tea of it, but also chew and swallow the pods one after the other, like we do doughnuts. Cayenne is also a blood pressure equalizer and because of this it can do some unbelievable things. Did you know that you can actually stop a heart attack in its tracts with cayenne pepper? It's true. Cayenne pepper has been shown to stop a heart attack in about 60 seconds flat! Many of the old herbalist claim that in cases of severe cuts, gunshot wounds, etc., cayenne can be taken internally as a tea, and the bleeding will stop by the time, in most cases, you can count to ten. Back in the old western days it was said that men would carry cayenne on them in case they got shot. This is because cayenne goes immediately into the blood stream and adjusts the blood pressure from the top of the head, to the bottom of the feet, equalizing pressure over the whole body. This takes high pressure, which causes rapid bleeding, away from the wound and clotting starts immediately. For this reason Cayenne can be easily noted as a survivalist herb must have.

Banana Peel

Almost everyone on Earth has at some point in their life experienced the pleasant taste of a banana, and knowingly or unknowingly experienced the health boosting benefits that comes from eating a banana. Many of us, myself included, consume bananas on a daily basis and can’t seem to get enough of the kick that bananas can add to a homemade breakfast, snack, or dessert. For this reason, bananas are known worldwide, but what is not widely known about bananas is that the entire fruit is edible, including the peel. Not only this, banana peels can be used in a variety of simple ways outside of internal consumption that would make most people think twice about throwing away another banana peel. Sounds crazy doesn’t it?

What may be more surprising to most is that banana

peels are just nutritious as the meat of the banana if not more. In many parts of the world banana peels are eaten on a regular basis. Banana peels can be eaten raw, fried in light oil, boiled in water to make tea (also to add to soups, gravies, sauces, etc.), and dried into powder for consumption in a variety of recipes. Internally, banana peels can lower cholesterol, relieve depression, relieve inflammation, combat obesity, improve sleep, boost cardiovascular health, combat cancer, boost eye health, protect red blood cells, relieve constipation as well as diarrhea, and boost overall immunity.

Externally, banana peels can be used to reduce

wrinkles in the skin, treat warts, acne, psoriasis, relieve poison ivy, insect bites, speed up the healing of bruises, dislodge/remove splinters, and relieve headaches. Outside of this, banana peels can be used to remove heavy metals from drinking water, polish silver, shoes (leather), polish/whiten the teeth, fertilize soil, deter aphid, to tenderize meat, and cure hemorrhoids. Find it all hard to believe? Give banana peels a try. So the next time you’re about to throw away the peel of a banana think consider the loss.

Sister Ahmanaha’s Kitchen From the Tribe of Gad: Hot Water Corn Bread

The Facts

To a far greater degree than anyone realizes, several of the most

important food dishes that the Southeastern Native Americans live on today is the "soul food" eaten by both black and white Southerners. Cornbread has been called a "cornerstone" of Southern U.S. cuisine, hominy is still eaten, Sofkee live on as grits, Indian fritters are variously known as "Johnny cakes" and Native American boiled cornbread is present in the south as "corn meal dumplings" and "hush puppies".

The Mohawks and many other tribes added spices such as garlic or cooked beans, berries or nuts for a more savory bread. *Cranberry Cornbread pictured on the right.

Sister Ahmanaha’s Kitchen Hot Water Cornbread

The North

A typical northern U.S. cornbread recipe contains half wheat flour, half cornmeal, milk/buttermilk, eggs, leavening agent, salt, and usually sugar, resulting in a bread that is somewhat lighter and sweeter than the traditional southern version. In the border states and parts of the Upper South, a cross between the two traditions is known as "light cornbread."

Hot Water Cornbread: Ingredients:

ü 2 Cups coarsely ground cornbread ü 2 TSP baking powder (optional) ü 1/2 TSP salt ü 1 TSP sugar (optional) ü Boiling water ü 1 ½ TBL butter (optional) ü Oil to fry in.

Preparation:

1. Stir together cornmeal, salt, sugar, and just enough boiling water to make a stiff batter that can be shaped.

2. Heat ¼ inch vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. When oil is hot, carefully drop batter from a spoon into the oil and lightly press flat with back of spoon

3. Cook until browned on the bottom, then flip and cook until browned on the other side. Remove to paper

towel lined plate. Serve hot. (Instead of frying you can also place in the over at 450° for 45min.)

The Mohawks and many other tribes added spices such as garlic or cooked beans, berries or nuts for a more savory bread. (Add 1 can/160z cooked kidney beans to every pound of flour)

Words Of Wisdom Psalms 73

Psalms 73:1 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart. Psalms 73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. Psalms 73:3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Psalms 73:4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm. Psalms 73:5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men. Psalms 73:6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a

garment. Psalms 73:7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. Psalms 73:8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily. Psalms 73:9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the

earth. Psalms 73:10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to

them. Psalms 73:11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? Psalms 73:12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in

riches. Psalms 73:13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency. Psalms 73:14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. Psalms 73:15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy

children. Psalms 73:16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; Psalms 73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. Psalms 73:18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into

destruction. Psalms 73:19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly

consumed with terrors. Psalms 73:20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt

despise their image. Psalms 73:21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. Psalms 73:22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. Psalms 73:23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right

hand. Psalms 73:24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Psalms 73:25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire

beside thee. Psalms 73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my

portion for ever. Psalms 73:27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them

that go a whoring from thee. Psalms 73:28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.

Nature’s Remedies

Cinnamon is such a simple spice but yet there are so many amazing things about it. Throughout the modern world, cinnamon is very popular and is used primarily as a culinary spice, mainly in desserts, but little is taught about its medicinal qualities. Aside from its pleasant aroma and delightful taste, cinnamon has the capability of treating various common diseases and ailments that are deemed incurable today. To the surprise of most, cinnamon has been proven to aid in treating diabetes, the flu, arthritis, heart disease, and various forms of infection. It has also been proven to increase blood circulation, promote sweating to detox the body, and prevent the growth of different forms of mold as well as yeast.

When combined with honey, the combination has

been proven to aid in lowering bad cholesterol, helping to cure cancer of various forms, treat chronic fatigue, high blood pressure, the loss of hearing, bad breath, acne, and many other complications. Cinnamon is a common spice to most and can be used in teas, smoothies, breakfast recipes, desserts, and in many other creative ways. Add some spice to your life and your diet by adding cinnamon to some of your everyday meals.

Cinnamon

Ecclesiasticus 38:4 The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth; and he that is wise will not abhor them.

Are you experiencing anemia, mental fogginess, chronic coughing, fatigue, memory loss, muscle weakness, nerve damage, depression, dementia, insomnia, or tingling in extremities (fingers and toes)? If so, there’s a great chance that you are experiencing a vitamin B12 or Cobalamin deficiency. Vitamin B12, also known as Cobalamin, is one of the eight vitamins in the B vitamin family. Vitamin B12 is responsible for maintaining proper blood circulation, fertility (in women), nerve development (and protection), cell formation, mental clarity, memory, muscle function, proper digestion, a healthy metabolism, and energy levels.

Vitamin B12 is also responsible for helping the body to utilize iron properly, which is highly important. Many of the vitamin B12 deficiency cases in the world today are due to poor diet. Most deficiencies of this kind can be reversed with minor diet modifications. Foods that contain vitamin B12 include eggs, fish (as well as other meats), raw milk, and various natural fermented foods. If you are already eating such foods yet still deficient, your deficiency could be as a result of poor food absorption. Chewing food properly, being careful not to overeat, and spicing up your food with a little black pepper are just a few tips to help in better absorbing your food.

A growing body of evidence is proving that one of the most popular and most delicious fruits is also one of the healthiest - dark grapes. Grapes make a great replacement for a sweet snack. There are also many benefits to eating them like protection against asthma, migraine, constipation, indigestion, fatigue, kidney disorders, macular degeneration, cataracts, high cholesterol, edema, and antibacterial activity. They also carry the ability to protect against age related memory decline and even improve memory. The high content of vitamins and minerals in grapes are responsible for their many health benefits. The fruit contains high levels of A, C, and B6, together with folate, calcium, potassium, manganese, zinc, copper, and iron, all the ingredients necessary to maintain a healthy body. Grapes also contain polyphenols, which contain antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory properties that reduce DNA damage caused by free radicals. Polyphenols have been the focus of research with regard to preventing such conditions as aging, cardiovascular disease, dementia, and even cancer. Not to be ignored are the grape seeds themselves, which provide added health benefits. Grape seeds are the source of the popular supplement, grape seed extract. Recent animal research has indicated that polyphenols found in grape seeds can reduce the development of plaque in the brain that is associated in Alzheimer`s. Besides being a powerful antioxidant, grape seed extract is also anti-allergenic, an antihistamine, and anti-inflammatory. It strengthens blood vessels, aids in circulation, improves skin elasticity, and promotes healthy hair growth. Grape seed extract contains bioflavonoids, which help protect cell membranes and guard against oxidative damage caused by free radicals.

It’s no coincidence that we can find similar health benefits in red wine. Many studies have shown that moderate red wine drinkers have less incidence of heart disease than non-drinkers and now scientists are confirming a direct correlation between red wine and many powerful anti-aging benefits. Moderate consumption of some red wines may be a very effective way of improving your cardiovascular health as well as your lifespan. To realize these health benefits one must consume red wine that is less sweet and has a lower alcoholic content. For the most health benefits, one or two glasses of red wine with a meal are optimal.

Eye diseases like cataract, glaucoma, macular degeneration, detached retina or myopia all come from weakness and inflammation in the tissues that make up and surround the eye. When the membranes become tough like leather, fluids are trapped, and particles start to build up. If the buildup continues, it will seem as if you are looking through frosted glass. Our eyes should also be flexible, so the muscles can change the eye's contour and focus. When the eye membranes and muscles become tough, the eye cannot focus properly and vision becomes blurry. When treating irritated eyes, most eye drops and medications deaden the nerves and cover the pain, but the problem is not solved and the discomfort returns.

We don’t need to lose our vision as we age or commit ourselves to costly eye surgeries; with MSM we can treat the root of the problem and regenerate it. MSM can also have a similar effect on hearing loss in the form of an eardrop but that is an entirely different conversation. With all of these benefits and no side effects it’s interesting to note that FDA recently has banned MSM eye drops from being sold on the market. Even so it turns out that it is very easy and cost effective to make it at home.

MSM Eye Drops MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is natural sulphur that can be found in plants. MSM relieves swelling, inflammation and pain because it allows the harmful substances that have accumulated to flow out and nutrients to flow in. It also contributes sulfur to the body needed to make vitamins such as B1, and the antioxidant amino acid glutathione.

MSM eye drops can help to soften the membranes, allowing fluids to pass through the optical tissues. When our optical membranes become permeable, nutrients are able to penetrate through the optical tissues and provide nutrients needed for the body to heal itself.

MSM eye drops can be used to:

- strengthen eyes - prevent glaucoma - prevent cataract, - keep the eyes young - dissolve mucus accumulation - keep your eyes moist - correct dryness - relieve strain - relieve red eye - clear up pink eye - clear up sties - clear up eye infections - tie up free damaging free radical - tie up destructive proteins

The Hebrew Health Tip of The Week: Beware if undercooked and overcooked food"

Eating clean raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, etc is extremely healthy and beneficial to the body. Reason being, the body is able to get all of the precious live enzymes, vitamins, and minerals that are destroyed when food is cooked. In this particular manner, eating raw food is great. On the other hand, eating undercooked or overcooked foods, mainly meat, unclean fruits/vegetables, and other common pasteurized foods pose many dangers to the body. Eating undercooked meat and unclean produce increases the body’s risk of being exposed to ecoli, parasites, and many forms of harmful bacteria.

Such can lead to infections of different sorts, pneumonia, diarrhea, and many other illnesses. Eating overcooked or pasteurized foods can lead to severe digestion problems, poor absorption, obesity, build up in the intestines, poor blood circulation, candida, free radical damage, and even cancer.

Limiting the amount of baked food consumed, steaming, and boiling food more often are just a few tips to help lighten the burden placed on our bodies daily. Avoid pasteurized foods as much as possible and eat clean raw produce as often as you can.

The Green Thumb: Carrots

2

3. After the carrots have germinated and are about

a 25mm(1") tall start the thinning process. To thin you can pull them out but I recommend getting a small pointed pair of scissors and snipping them off at soil level. Thin them so they are about 13mm(½") apart.

4. Water once a week when your plants reach about 8 inches tall.

5. What sometimes happens is the peat or whatever you use settles around the growing carrots and exposes the neck of the carrot just below where the foliage grows. Because it is exposed to the light it turns green - no big deal just cut it off when you’re preparing them to eat. To prevent this, gently sift some more peat etc. over the carrot seedlings. Don't worry if you partially bury them, as they will continue to grow.

Harvest after about 2 -3 months.

We have our garlic going so now let’s expand our garden and throw in some carrots. Growing carrots is extremely easy and pleasurable for container gardening. It’s an ideal vegetable to grow if you are limited for space and a great project for the kids too. You’ll also be happy to know you can harvest as early as two months given the right conditions. In round pots you can harvest between 30-40 carrots. In the larger square and rectangular plant containers you can produce many more, so choose your container according to how much you would want to harvest of course. Preferred Type of Containers:

• Clay pots... 33cm(13") diameter and 30cm(12") deep

• Rectangular plant containers... 55cm(22") long, 20cm(8") wide and 20cm(8") deep

• Square plant containers... 32cm(13") square and 30cm(12") deep

Directions:

1. Fill the plant containers with peat, mix it with some vermiculite if you have access to some as this helps retain moisture, add an organic fertilizer and start sewing.

2. Make small drills about 13mm(½") deep, thinly sow the carrot seed along the drills (you can sew 2-3 in the hole), fill in the drills and water using a watering can with a fine rose. They typically take about 7 days to germinate.

Genesis 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it

was good.
