Techno, Ambient Music, Spacy Synths, and Alternative Rock

This is a sampling of music I've created with keyboard synthesizers and software, as well as one original song I wrote on the piano, and a song written by an old friend that I wrote lyrics and sang to. This music spans the years 2002-2014.

 

Drink A Beer a Day and Keep the Doctor Away

Introduction

Most people think about beer as something that is unhealthy and contributes to diseases such as cihrrosis. Why this maybe true for people who drink too much. Beer has other benefits when it is used responsibly. Beer can help prevent cancer, dementia, and extend life. We will explore these ideas in this blog.

Beer Lengthens Telomeres

The Voice of Russia website featured an article in 2013 that explained how beer lengthens telomeres. Telomeres are composed of DNA and proteins, and they are at the ends of the strands of DNA in our chromosomes. As Telomeres shorten, disease and illness follows. The study found that a 5-to-7 percent ethanol solution would lengthen the telomeres.



Xanthohumol

Beer has an herb called hops that contains a health promoting flavonoid called Xanthohumol. Anthony Rivas wrote a great article explaining beers health promoting properties. Xanthohumol is an anti-oxidant that gives the beer its flavor and its tanginess. The darker the beer the better.

Researchers at Oregon State University have discovered that Xanthohumol inhibits a family of enzymes called cytochromes P450 that activate the cancer process. Xanthohumol creates the "quinone reductase" process thait aids in the detoxification of carcinogens. It will inhibit tumor growth in the early stages.

Beer was studied by researchers from the University of Lanzhou, China in 2015. They found that the xanthohumol in beer had anti-cancer, heart protective, and anti-inflammation properties.

Larger Memory in Moderate Beer Drinks

Earlier studies from last year at Lanzhou, China showed that moderate drinkers had larger hippocampuses. Anthony went on to explain how the larger hippocampuses translated to a better episodic memory. The improved memory stimulation may play a role in the prevention of Alzheimer's disease.

B-17

The Hunza's are a remarkable culture in that the incidence of cancer is non-existent in most people. The average life span is about 84 years. There is one main reason for this, the people eat grains, and seeds that are very high in a nutritious food called B-17 (a vitamin) -that in fact contains a natural poison (cyanide) that kills cancer cells.

According to G. Edward, Griffinn (2007 p. 89) , the B-17 substance releases cyanide at the cancer cell only, only to that cancer cell and nowhere else in the body. In the body as whole it is inert, but at the cancer cell it release the poisons right on target.

The True Physical Cause of Cancer

By 1952, Dr. Ernst T. Krebs, Jr., a biochemist in San Francisco, had advanced the theory that cancer, like scurvy, and pellagra, is not caused by some kind of mysterious bacterium, virus, or toxin, but is merely a deficiency disease aggravated by the lack of an essential food compound in modern-man's diet. (Griffin, 2007 p. 56).

Further he found that this specific food substance was found in the nitriloside family, which naturally occurs in twelve-hundred edible plants found all over the globe. (Griffin, 2007 p. 56).

Foods with the B-17 Vitamin

It is particularly prevalent in the seeds of those fruits in the Prunus Rosacea family (bitter almond, apricot, blackthorn, cherry, nectarine, peach, and plum), but also contained in grasses, maize, sorghum, millet, cassava, linseed, apple seeds, and many other foods that, generally, have been deleted from the menus of modern civilization. (Griffin, 2007 p. 56).

The highest amount of this substance is found in apricot seeds. Now before you start gobbling them down read this quote.

Therefore, it is wise to follow the simple rule that one should not eat at one time more seeds than he likely could consume if he also were eating a reasonable quantity of the whole fruit. (Griffin, 2007 p. 100).

Directions for Eating Apricot Kernels

I'd start with one kernel per day before you are comfortable with it. And then build it up two and three and four, and finally twelve. The above direct quote is a general guideline to abide by if you decide to eat apricot kernels. Further I would recommend you buy the book World Without Cancer and read it from front to back before trying this medicine.

Dosage

According to Griffin (2007) , It is recommended to eat 12 (fifty milligrams) seeds a day for people without a history of cancer in the family. And you eat seeds with foods, not alone due to the bitter taste, some examples would be salads, yogurt, even ice cream. Never eat them all at once, but divide it up in three meals for the entire day. So you eat 4 kernels, one for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Now for those with cancer in their family it is recommended to take double the amount. Start slowly, build up your number of seeds, and always eat it with food and divide it up in small meals throughout the day. Never eat them all at once, and without food- too bitter- and it goes against the basic guideline noted. And always eat trusted domesticated apricot kernels, never eat wild apricot kernels. (Griffin, 2007)

Cassava Root In The Native American's Diet

Native American people commonly eat a root called cassava root. They're incidence of cancer is almost non-existent when on their native diet. When they stop eating their native diet then they are susceptible to disease. (Griffin, 2007)

The Eskimo and Their Native Diet

The third culture we'll mention is the Eskimos. They are almost an entirely meat eating society living in the ice cold temperatures. There main food is caribou meat which is rich with B-17. This is because the caribou consume many grasses containing B-17. (Griffin, 2007)

Unfortunately, modern civilization moved away from eating this bitter substance and therefore introduced disease. At one time Western people ate sorghum instead of sugar, also rich in B-17.

Food as Medicine

One suggestion, is instead of white flour pancakes, eat buckwheat (B-17) pancakes. The secret is to make your food your medicine.

"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food," was advise from the Greek physican Hippocrates. Why should food just be to stuff you up. (Anonymous, 2012).

Allergy Warnings and Apricot Trees to Avoid

Do not consume apricot seeds if you may be allergic to them, or if they are from a wild tree. Further do not consume them unless you abide by the guidelines in this article or as mentioned in the book World Without Cancer.

Thank you for reading, and I wish you the best of health for your life.
