When
all the pathways
are traveled upon,
and there is no other way
to see the Light
of Dawn,
it may seem that you
are forever lost,
and Eternal Night has begun.
But the Light
of Love,
shinning in your Heart,
will cast your Spirit
into a Sea
of Tranquility,
where the dark of night
becomes the Light
that is endless,
and dwells in the House
of the Lord.
“For once you were darkness,
but now in the Lord you are Light.
Live as Children of Light —
for the Fruit of the Light is found
in all that is Good and Right and True.
Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord.
Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.
For it is shameful even to mention
what such people do secretly;
but everything exposed by the Light
becomes visible,
for everything that becomes visible
is Light.”
– Ephesians 5:8-14
“God is Light,
and in Him there is
no darkness at all.”
– 1 John 1:5
.
Verse 5 says,
“God is Light;
in Him there is no darkness at all.”
Note that we are not told
that God is a Light,
but that He is Light.
Light is part of His
Essence,
as is Love.
– 1 John 4:8
“You are all Children of the Light
and Children of the day.
We do not belong to the night
or to the darkness”
– 1 Thessalonians 5:5
Let us live our lives as Children of the Light,
so that the Light of the Glorious
Gospel of Grace
may become a witness to the World
that we are Children of God
and Partakers of His Divine Nature.
Long to
reflect the Light
of Love,
as you Journey through
this dark World.
There is
a deep well of desire
from the Fountain of Forgiveness
in every Heart.
.
Beyond this moment,
cast your deep longing
into the Ocean
of God’s Eternal
Love.
Cast your Heart
into the Sea
of Forgiveness
and Tranquility.
.
When the night seems
endless,
the Light of God’s Love
will dawn
and Forever Be.
How fragile is the
Human Heart.
But God
will give our feet of clay
Wings to Fly,
and the Light
of Day.
In the Peaceful World
of Prayer and Meditation
we find refuge.
.
There is
an Elegant Oasis
of nurturing calm,
where worry and fear
melt away.
It is a Sanctuary,
and a form of Therapy
for the Heart and Mind
and Soul.
The Power
of Prayer is
undeniable.
Yes.
There’s something Miraculous
in Meditation and Prayer.
They transport us
to a Happier Place.
They Breathe Life
into our fragile Heart,
and Lift our mortal veil
of fear.
.
When
Hope is etched with tears,
we can rise above Earthly cares,
and cast all doubt
into the Ocean
of God’s Love.
Communion with God
takes us on a Sacred Journey
of self–discovery and Inner Healing.
.
We
become Truly Grateful
for Life and Living,
and for the Serenity
of Knowing
Love.
When
we look up at the Stars,
we experience something
Wonderful.
.
We discover
that our World holds
a special place.
Our Place
is in the Heavens
of God’s Natural Universe
of countless Worlds.
.
We
are Deeply Loved,
in a vast and unimaginable Universe,
where
Love conquers all –
The Love
of God.
Goodnight.

The Anticancer Power of Parsley
Parsley is a potent anticancer food and is a staple in Mediterranean and South American cuisine, but sadly in many Western dishes, it is little more than a garnish.
Parsley contains a variety of nutrients including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, lycopene, and folate, but most importantly, it is one of the richest sources of anticancer compounds apigenin and falcarinol.
Aromatase is an enzyme in the body that turns androgens into estrogens. Blocking aromatase can inhibit breast and prostate cancer cells and there are a number of aromatase-inhibiting drugs used in cancer treatment including Aromasin, Arimidex, and Femara. Apigenin is a flavonoid that blocks aromatase. It has also been found to make cancer cells more sensitive to chemotherapy by activating a tumor–suppressor gene called P53. (Source)
Apigenin has been reported to suppress various human cancers by triggering apoptosis (cell death) and autophagy, inducing cell cycle arrest, suppressing cell migration and invasion, stimulating an immune response, and directly killing cancer stem cells.
“Apigenin shows significant cell cytotoxicity selectively against various types of cancer cells with low or no toxicity to normal cells. These selective anti–cancer effects are further shown to suppress cancer stem cells (CSCs) in various types of cancers. CSCs are closely associated with drug resistance, metastasis, and the recurrence of cancer.” (Source)
A study from Ohio State University showed that apigenin binds with an estimated 160 proteins in the body allowing it to have a wide array of beneficial effects, as opposed to pharmaceutical drugs, which typically only target one molecule.
A unique characteristic of cancer cells is that two types of mRNA splicing occur as opposed to only one in a normal cell. This abnormal splicing defect is found in roughly 80% of cancer cells and is a mechanism used by cancer cells to stay alive.
The Ohio State researchers observed that apigenin influences a specific protein called hnRNPA2 thereby restoring the single-splice characteristic back to breast cancer cells. Restoring this function allows cancer cells to act like normal cells and die naturally and may also make them more sensitive to chemotherapy drugs. (Source)
For further enlightenment, scroll down and look at Table 1 in this study outlining the numerous molecular cancer targets influenced by apigenin.
Apigenin is found in many fruits and vegetables, but the highest concentrations are in celery, chamomile, and parsley.
Foods with the highest levels of apigenin (micrograms/gram)
–Celery 191 ug/g
-Fresh parsley 2154.6 ug/g
-Chamomile 3,000-5,000 μg/g
-Dried parsley 45,035 μg/g
Dried parsley has the highest concentration of apigenin by a significant margin, over twenty times more than fresh parsley! (Source)
Falcarinol in Parsley
Plants grown outside organically produce natural pesticides to protect themselves. Some of these compounds, known as polyacetylenes, are incredibly beneficial for human health and act as direct anticancer agents. One of these is a flavone called falcarinol in carrots, which I highlight in my book Chris Beat Cancer: A Comprehensive Plan for Healing Naturally.
For years I was under the impression that carrots had the highest levels of falcarinol.
Enter parsnips and parsley.
Parsnips have twice the falcarinol as carrots, but parsley contains four times more falcarinol than parsnips and seven times more than carrots. (Carrots 82.23 mg/kg, Parsnips 164.74, Parsley 629.36 mg/kg ) (Source)
Note: Boiling leaches falcarinol from vegetables. Raw consumption is best. (Source)
Parsely might just be one of the most overlooked and underrated anticancer foods. In addition to apigenin and falcarinol, parsley contains several more anticancer compounds including quercetin, luteolin, and kaempferol. And yes, I am now officially obsessed with parsley.
Three ways to get more parsley into your body:
– Juice it. Throw parsley into the mix with other veggie juice blends.
– Eat it. Use it as a leafy green base with kale or spinach in the Giant Cancer-Fighting Salad. Make tabbouleh (See my Quinoa Tabbouleh recipe in Beat Cancer Kitchen.) Make chimichurri. It’s like a spicy pesto made with parsley instead of basil.
- Sprinkle it. Put dried parsley flakes on your salads, and on cooked veggies, and add to soups and even smoothies.
Cowboy Math Two tablespoons of dried parsley flakes are roughly equivalent in nutrient content to one cup of fresh parsley.
Parsley is easy to find in most grocery stores. It’s also easy to grow in your garden. If you are inclined to mega dose, I suggest getting organic parsley flakes in bulk on Amazon.
