Turmeric helps Alzheimer's disease

    In 2004, the department of neurology of Kanazawa University published a thesis about the curcumin contained in turmeric being effectual to help cure Alzheimer type of senile dementia.

    Alzheimer is said to occur due to the amyloidosis beta (Ａβ). When this fibrillar amyloid plaques develop inside the brain, it becomes toxic and starts to kill the cells of the cerebral nerves. Until recently, scientists were not able to find a way to stop this expansion of toxin. However, Kanazawa University team had succeeded in the experiment of taking the curcumin out of turmeric and adding it into the solution that contains amyloidosis beta which made the plaques development stop.  In addition, when turmeric was administered to a brain cell that was showing an Alzheimer condition, not only did it stop the progression but also the fibrillar amyloid plaques had dissolved.





Now the team is suggesting curry for meals at nursing or retirement homes.

    It is true that in India, the percentage of people with dementia is extremely low compared to other countries. Moreover, the I.Q. test shows that Indians have a very high intellectual standard. I know the president of a software company. He tells me that the Indian engineers working for him in Japan has very high abilities. When you explain one issue, they seem to understand ten. Not only in math but they are very fast in learning the language.

    In Japan, the lower grades of elementary school only teaches multiplication of one digit up to 9x9. But in India, they seem to teach up to two digits, 19x19. Maybe we should recommend our children to eat more curry! Then their memory capacity may expand.






    But as they say “too much of one thing is not good,” there are different opinions about turmeric. Many say it’s good for the liver and some say it’s not good. So I went to do my own little research and found out that the autumn turmeric (common turmeric) has several times more curcmin than the spring turmeric (wild turmeric). Most of the data indicating that turmeric is not good for the liver was talking about the autumn turmeric that is very high in curcmin. The spring turmeric is low in curcmin but instead contain high levels of antioxidants.

     The science of anti-aging is really about the science of antioxidants.  Thus the spring turmeric is a high-potent item for your health in general. A website, Spring Turmeric Research Center (http://www.haru-ukon.com/- in Japanese only) tells about a research on a new perspective on cancer, the cause being a type of virus.  Showing their clinical data, they claim that the cancer is virus-based, and taking spring turmeric will increase one’s immune power and cure the disease.

    

    
Naturally a question arouses. If cancer is a type of virus would it be contagious? If the cancer virus is anaerobic (not needing oxygen), it does not infect through air. It may be contagious genetically or through the living environment.

    Now the issue is how much of the spring/wild turmeric should be consume? In my opinion, if you are under 20 years old, just eat curry once in a while. There is no need to take turmeric supplement. Healthy adult should take 2~3 tablets, three times a day. According to the Spring Turmeric Research, cancer patients should take 5 ~8 tablets, three times a day (3~6grams daily). One of the data in Germany says that the safe amount of consumption of turmeric is 1.5~3grams. So depending on your weight and condition of health, you should decide how much to take.

    Most of all, before taking any supplements, the important thing is to accumulate the ‘energy of gratitude.’  The magnetic-energy of gratitude is the most powerful source to change your life for the better. The daily act of gratitude sending to your ancestors will bring good fortune in many ways. So work on your power of gratitude. We all have the power to bring good to this world. Lets make it happen!

    Recently, some tensions are occurring in the international affairs. But I would say, with many of us working on the gratitude energy, the wind will blow in the right direction. The Emperor is working on the Shiho-hai (四方拝), sending gratitude for peace to the four directions daily. Let us do the same. Next March, another turning point may wave on us. Lets dive through it!

Know that you are not lacking anything

(written Dec. 13th) 

     This morning, the senses I was getting is that so many people are starting to have some breathing problem. Many reason for this, but the biggest part is that so many people are worried about their future. And that is causing them hyperventilation.

     Hyperventilation happens when you are unconsciously breathing in more that breathing out. Oxygen causes oxidization that is poison to a human body. Fighting against oxygen has always been part of the evolution of creatures on Earth. Excessive amount of oxygen is still poisonous to the system of our human nature. Oxidation kills the probiotic bacteria as well.   



So when you feel the anxiety:

1.     1. Make sure you tell yourself “Relax! It’s going to be ok.” And take a deep breath from your abdomen. Breathe out twice as much.  (Even when you are sitting, try to breath from your stomach.)

2.     2. When the breathing becomes difficult, use your hands and cover the nose and mouth. And breathe inside your hands. When you breathe in the breath you just exhaled, you are breathing in the carbon dioxide which will help you stabilize hyperpnoea. Your warm hands would help you calm down as well. During the winter, wearing a mask would not only help protecting from virus but also help you balance your oxygen and CO2 level while you breathe through it. The best way would be to carry a small paper bag. And breathe inside the bag.






      Hyperpnoea has symptoms such as; trouble breathing, shallow breathing, pain or pressure in the chest or heart area, dizziness, pulsation, numbness on arms and legs, light headed, fear of dying… etc. It all comes from anxiety that causes an unbalance in the autonomic nerves.

     The kotodama, ‘ikashite-itadaite arigato-gozaimasu’  and ‘amaterasu-ohomikami amaterasu-ohomikami ’ (twenty sounds) is the right vibrational energy that will bring you to stableness. The spring ukon (turmeric) and ginger will also help to balance the nerve system. Take five tablets three times a day.

     The lactic bacterium supplements such as Miyairi-san (clostridium butyricum) or acidophilus would increase probiotic bacteria in the intestine that is essential to increase serotonin in the brain. This would lead to balancing your nervous system. I believe in a long run, these natural products would be more effective than the western medicine that is a synthesized product aimed for specific illness.




     As the first cause of hyperventilation being the anxiety, the second cause would have to do with the electro-magnetic waves from the sun and the depletion of the ozone layer. At the same time, the unbalance of the geomagnetism seems to also be giving cause to the layers of air in our planet.  

     These days, I am sensing that oxygen shortage is happening even in flatland due to the sudden change in air pressure. Certain clouds are staying way too long in the sky, the pollution caused by the yellow sands from China… so many unusual phenomenons are happening.





      I am concerned with the lungs of the Japanese people. In the younger generation, tuberculosis of the lungs is increasing rapidly. If you are suffering from slightly high temperature and coughing for over a period, you should have your lungs checked. The earlier the better for your treatment and also to avoid infection.




     A light exercise is best to keep your nervous system in balance. I do a 500m pigeon-toed walk up the hill exercise everyday. I put my attention on the big toes and down towards heel as I walk. You don’t need to spend a lot of money. Simply drink a lot of distilled warm water(about 40℃), do light exercise, be in gratitude and send gratitude to your ancestral spirits. Do these daily and things will turn the right way. 


      Just like excessive breathing, the excessive thoughts thinking that you are still lacking something will actually become pollution to yourself. If you think you are unlucky, you need to correct your thoughts.

Warm distilled water as high as your body temperature will be absorbed most efficiently.

Probiotic bacteria is the key!

(written Dec.11th)

  This morning, the revelation was about “intestine.”  The content of the revelation was that “the intestine is the source of the brain function and lives are born inside the intestine.”

     It told me that the intestine was the hidden brain (second source). So I googled “Intestine, second brain” and I found several interesting theses on this subject.

   Serotonin is a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system that is essential in the function of a brain. 95% of the serotonin is made inside an intestine. This means that when the intestinal activity decreases, the brain activity is weakened. The function of the movements of your hands and legs are also affected. Memory and thinking ability decreases as well.

　 When something very shocking occurs, people get symptoms like unable to walk or move properly. In such cases, when you go to a doctor, often they examine your brain. But I sense, that the hidden problem is the decrease of the probiotics (good bacteria) in the intestine.

   　　

  The revelation followed with an image of a gastrointestinal map. The brain is proven to show detailed functions tied with different parts of the body.  The same thing can be said with the intestine. The revelation tells me that the long intestinal tract has specific area that ties to specific function in some parts of the body. When the detail can be analyzed, a map of the function can be made. The image I was given showed something like… cancer in liver, stomach, chest… each organ has the point/area in the intestinal tract where the probiotics has disappeared and harmful bacteria are dominating. Even if for some reason, you had an operation to cut a part of your bowel, it still seems to cover the function as a whole just like how the brain works.

　  Then I remembered about the man called Kumagusu Minakata (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minakata_Kumagusu). He had mastered many fields academically. And at the end went into researching slime molds/fungus and anti-shrine-consolidation protests for the nature conservation movement in Japan. Kumagusu had discovered ‘god’ in the fractal (having the absolute law within the unordered structure) movement of the fungus. I sense the same thing about the probiotics. Probiotics (good bacteria) = god’s will.

     To conclude, the probiotics within the intestine holds the fate of human lives. If you are doing something against your ‘good will’ (your spirit side/soul part of self) , some part of your intestine’s bacteria turns into harmful ones.

    A child often says he/she has a stomachache when troubled or worried.  I think this has to do with the good bacteria turning into bad ones. The body is giving a signal… ”no, don't go that way.” As we get older, we tend to grow ego and those senses we had as a child are weakened. As a result, the probiotics disappears from one part of the intestine which leads to decreasing tryptophan (essential amino acid) in one part of the brain. Then: 1. The brain will make wrong decisions. 2. Create illness in some part of the body.

　

     Therefore, consuming probiotics daily would be a very good idea. The traditional Japanese diet is made out of many kinds of fermented food that contains probiotics.  Miso, pickles, doburoku(unfiltered sake), soy sauce,  nattō (fermented soybeans), dried persimmon etc… these are all very good. Amongst these products, miso is exceptionally good. This is how the hikyaku (delivery guys in the old days) could run for over 60km daily. Probiotics gives stamina.    If you feel fatigue more than usual that means you have less probiotics in your intestine. And it needs to be increased.

     The problem is that when probiotics are taken from your mouth, half of it would be killed by your gastric acid.  Maybe if there is a way to inject through the anus that might be a possibility.  Actually, the probiotics such as lactic acid bacteria is also good for hemorrhoids.  It helps restoring the wounded cells.

     The probiotics could be the key to an evolution to the modern medical treatment. If someone could encode the map of the intestinal tract, which part is connected to which organ. Then such as in cancer treatment, the probiotics can be administered to that area in some way.

     Kumagusu was also a master in astronomy.  There is a link between the microorganisms and the universe. Our innate god = good will brings birth to the microorganisms/bacteria. The probiotic bacteria are the representatives of our innate god. And it can be practically applied in various fields.

I will be looking forward to the scientific evolution.

Think small. The affect will be grandeur.

   I often come to an understanding that each and one of our brains are connected to the entire universe. Both the front and the back of the universe.  I have written about the relationship between a human brain and the universe in the past (article:July 20,2009 and July 14, 2010)

　 We humans should look into and take care the details of our own daily lives. I often sense that this is the best way to affect the universe. People who are in the spotlight are often so concerned about the outlook and private lives are a disaster. When you become notable or famous, there will be so many allurements that could lead you to a wrong direction.

     You might be thinking you are working hard for the company or the society. But if your family has to sacrifice and creating an unhappy situation, you are not emanating good energy to the universe. Even if you are a low-income worker, if your intention is to take good care of your family with love, then you are doing so much better for the whole universe. If you are single, it is still the same. Leave the energy of gratitude, every step of the way. The vibrational magnetic-energy of gratitude will reach the universe with a positive affect. 

     Rather than thinking big, think small by taking care of yourself and close family. When you could satisfy your small world, you are actually helping the society spiritually. In order to acknowledge kami (god), there is no need to spend a lot of money in religious rituals and ceremonies. You will become closer to divinity when you spend your daily moments by trying to act through your own good will (= your innate god).

    It will be much easier and faster for you to accomplish small things than large things. And the truth is that, spiritually, there is not much difference. Even if it’s a small thing, when it is accomplished by your good will and dedication, at the end, you will reach the divinity. It will be valued as the same as the person who has accomplished in a larger scale and recognized.

    Looking from space, the amount of influence one human can give to the universe is not that different.

A hint to a healthy life

(written Nov.28th)

    This morning, the very end part of Ooharae-no-kotoba, the Grand Purification Norito Chant came to me. This norito is the only one that has a righteous vibrational energy translated into Japanese from shinkai, the World of the Gods.

「”早川の瀬”に坐す瀬織津比売（せおりつひめ）と言ふ神　大海原に持出でなむ　此く持ち出で”往なば”　　荒潮の潮の八百道の八潮道の潮の八百曾に坐す速開都比売（はやあきつひめ）と言ふ神　持ち”加加呑みてむ”　　此く加加呑みてば　息吹戸に坐す息吹戸主（いぶきどぬし）と言ふ神　根国底国に息吹”放ちてむ”　此く息吹放ちてば　根国底国に坐す速佐須良比売（はやさすらひめ）と言ふ神　持ち佐須良比失ひてむ　此く佐須良比失ひてば　罪と言ふ罪は在らじと　祓へ給ひ清め給ふ」

   The four red words are the names of the four deities who are the Haraedo-no-ookami, The Four Gods of Purification.  The names are Seoritsu-hime (sun deity), Hayaakitsu-hime (moon diety), Ibukido-nushi (fire deity) and Hayasasura-hime (water deity). In the past, I have explained the hidden meanings of this norito. But this morning, I received a revelation of another hidden meaning.

    The four deities and the sentences that go with them are showing the four steps of digestive function on a human body. By consciously using these four steps properly, one could purify his/her body and mind and perform a healthy life. 

First comes the sun deity who represents a normal blood flow. The sentence says, “the flow of the river is running fast (早川の瀬).” This means that the blood stream is running fast = normal. The second blue word “往なば(inaba)” and the rest of the sentence is explaining, once you have a proper fast blood flow then the next step of digestion is possible to take place. It is saying, without the proper blood flow, proper digestion is not possible.

   The third blue word, 加加呑みてむ(kakanomitemm) means absorbing through eating and drinking. And that is explained by using the moon deity. Only when the sun (normal blood flow) exists, the moon (nutrition absorption) can exist. It is metaphorically speaking about the digestive system (stomach and intestines).

   Next the fire deity (proper breathing) appears. It is talking about the necessity of proper breathing when the moon (nutrition absorption) is in action. It means, after a meal, in order to have proper digestion, a deep abdominal breathing is needed. The fourth blue word “放ちてむ (hanachitemm)” is signifying that within the deep abdominal breathing, the ‘breathing out’ is more important.

   When these steps are taken properly, the forth deity, Hayasasura-hime (water) will run the path smoothly. Hayasasura-hime (water) is a derivative of Susanoo and he shall take away all illness. 

Therefore:

1. Normal blood flow is essential. In order to have a normal blood flow, take distilled water all day (about 2L) and do enough light exercise daily.

2. In the norito, it says “荒潮（arajio = sea salt）の潮”. This means in the distilled water add a tint of sea salt. This is also important.

3. When you breath, be more conscious of the breathing out. Breath out twice as much than breathing in.

Our body is the vessel that holds our innate god = soul. We must take good care of it.

＊The date of the creation of norito chant, Ooharae-no-kotoba, is not certain but appears on a document as early as 676AD.

This photo was taken at the newly built bridge, the pathway towards Kazahinomi-no-miya shrine of Ise Jingu. It was taken on September 17^th by one of my blog reader, at the ceremony for the completion .

This day, another special event was taking place. It was the day to distribute the taima-fuda charm for next year to those who were related in some way to Ise Jingu, and all of those people were a part of the first time bridge crossing ceremony.

The hexagon shape is appearing under this new bridge. It is the energetic figure of a deity. 

Thank you for reading this blog. Next update will be on Dec. 3rd.

The unexpected cause

(written on Nov.27th)

   This morning, I received a revelation about a concept on the human DNA. We are facing global crisis with weather, ocean current, forest… the whole natural environment is out of order and destroyed. It is said that the pollution created by humans is the cause. However, the revelation I received tells me that the vibrational energy emanated from the human DNA also takes a big part of the cause.

   The forest becoming feeble is a reflection of the slackness of our DNA. Our DNA has evolved through many centuries and we are part for the great nature. Not only are we part of the great nature, but also the leading model that determines the condition of the whole. Consequently, when we look at the condition of the forest/natural environment of a country, we are able to tell the condition of the nationality’s health/DNA and vice versa.  Even in a country where desert takes most of the land, the wind and the sand movements determines the condition.

   I am saying that the bad condition of the great nature does not affect our DNA so much, but instead, the condition of our DNA affects the great nature in a greater scale. Therefore, when we change our inner world/DNA to a better condition, we are able to save our planet Earth. When we succeed in readjusting our DNA, the great nature will be revitalized and return to the right order.

   And ancestral kuyō takes a big role in the readjustment. The Western religion is lacking the idea of ancestral worship. The destructive side of the Western civilization is because of this lack. Ancestors are the origin of our DNA. And when you are not giving great attention to that fact, it creates a great problem.

   Japan has the potential to save the world, because we still take great importance on ancestral worship. We are capable to become the source of readjustment to all humans’ DNA.

   Buddha never talked about ancestral worship. But the Japanese Buddhism has incorporated ancestral worship. It uses the title “Buddhism” but in fact, it has become an original Japanese religion. Kunitoko-tachi-Ookami, the kami of the Chain of Islands of Japan had induced this idea. During the Kamakura Period, the kami led Buddhism to come into Japan and become extremely popular.  Until then, nature worship was the only belief amongst the Japanese people. Buddhism added the idea to heal our personal souls though it is yet under development.

   The idea of nature worship and personal soul healing is still separated in Shintoism and Buddhism. Therefore, having and altar worshiping our source Amaterasu-ohomikami (sun goddess) and underneath the kami-dana having the altar for our ancestors to heal their souls would create an evolution to our DNA. It unites the two (nature worship and personal soul healing) together and reconnects the right spiritual alignment. 

   The first person who realized and challenged this idea was Nichiren (see Dictionary-IseHakusando). But he did not succeed.

   The honey-bees need the queen bee. She procreates children endlessly. The ecology of the bees takes the hexagon shape. This is a reflection of the foundation of the universe. The sun goddess, Amaterasu-ohomikami is our queen bee.  One day, the science may catch up to the idea I am telling you now.

   Ancestral kuyō is essential to change our DNA.
