Jubilee 101 by laurabruno

Just wanted to make blog readers aware of a fabulous (and free) online resource for all things DIY and permaculture/organic gardening oriented. The Jubilee 101 site offers thousands of PDF's, which you can download for free, as well as over 100 videos. You can learn how to quilt, how to passively cool or heat your home, companion planting, how to fix a door, how to harvest rainwater, how to make raised beds ... even how to build your own yurt.

This site addresses pretty much anything and everything DIY or permaculture-related, so I'd encourage people to go there and explore. If something nudges your intuition as important for you to know, you're free (and encouraged) to print out the PDF's for future reference. On Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, you don't always know your exact, final destination; nor can you always predict traffic jams, detours or rest stops along the way. You just never know when you'll appreciate printed road maps to get you back on track instead of whatever bizarre detour life throws your way. Plus, the funny thing about Law of Attraction is that when you feel secure and like you have what you need to handle anything and everything, then the need for such intense lessons has a funny way of bypassing us.

How is an ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure? When preparation provides obvious, immediate cures the moment the issue/illness/undesired situation arises ... and ... when preparation creates such a strength of inner knowing and confidence that our inner vibration overrides any external insecurities tossed our way by shaky economies, falling skies or quaking Earth. In any case, Jubilee 101 offers a lot of material for the super low price of no price, making it quite literally a priceless resource. I have no relationship with the site. I just like passing along good information when I find it.

Blessings on the journey!

How Coconut Oil May Rescue The Brain From Alzheimer's Disease

How Coconut Oil May Rescue The Brain From Alzheimer's Disease Posted: 29 Oct 2013 05:23 AM PDT The internet loves a good "natural cure" recovery story. For instance, when Dr. Mary Newport, MD, dramatically reverses her husband's symptoms of Alzheimer's disease after just two weeks of adding coconut oil to his diet, thousands enthusiastically share the story. But despite their popularity, anecdotes rarely stand the test of time, nor the scrutiny of the medical community, at least not like experimental research published in peer-reviewed biomedical journals. All the more reason to celebrate a promising new study soon to be published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease titled, "Coconut Oil Attenuates the Effects of Amyloid-β on Cortical Neurons In Vitro."[i] The study lends fresh experimental support to an accumulating body of anecdotal reports that coconut oil may alleviate and/or regress cognitive deficits associated with aging and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's. Medical researchers from the Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, NL, Canada, undertook a pilot study to investigate the effects of coconut oil supplementation directly on cortical neurons treated with amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide in vitro. Aβ peptide is the main component of certain deposits found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease believed to contribute to the disease. The researchers noted that a recent clinical trial, which we reported on in our article MCT Fats Found in Coconut Oil Boost Brain Function in Only One Dose, reported significant improvements in Alzheimer's disease patients after 45 and 90 days of treatment with medium chain triglycerides from coconut oil. They pointed out that this trial led to the marketing of the FDA-approved 'medical food' caprylidene (trade name Axona), but that the public has shown greater interest in coconut oil itself as a potential therapy, owing to its far greater affordability and availability.
