Hi! I found this at the site linked below. Hope it helps. =)\n\nMost people associate seaweed with the crispy, salty appetisers served at Chinese restaurants, yet there is a strong tradition of seaweed consumption in Celtic areas such as Scotland, Ireland and Brittany.\nJapanese nori, the small red seaweed Porphyra umbilicalis, which is used in many sushi dishes, also grows in this country, where it used to be known as sloke.\nResearchers have started to investigate seaweed's nutritional qualities and have discovered that it is a rich source of antioxidants, such as beta-carotene, and the vitamins B1 (thiamine, which keeps nerves and muscle tissue healthy), B2 (riboflavin, which helps the body to absorb iron and is therefore good for anaemics) and vitamin B12.\nIt also contains trace elements, such as chromium, which affects the way insulin behaves in the body, and zinc, which helps with healing.\nLegend has it in Brittany that the earliest seaweed farmers never worried about the cuts they sustained while handling the knotted tangles of seaweed and kelp they were harvesting to make pain d'algues --- seaweed bread --- because they knew that the wounds healed with little or no treatment.\nA US study out in February indicated that a diet containing kelp lowers levels of the sex hormone oestradiol (a form of oestrogen) in rats and bringing hope that it might also decrease the risk of oestrogen-dependent diseases such as breast cancer in human beings.\n"The most profound discovery was that women with endometriosis and severe menstrual irregularities experienced significant improvement in their symptoms after three months of taking 700mg of seaweed capsules a day, " says Dr Chris Skibola, an assistant research toxicologist at the School of Public Health at the University of California.\nFor 20 years Japanese scientists have run more than 500 clinical trials to discover whether there are elements in seaweed that could suppress the growth of tumour cells.

There can be too much of a good thing.  You should not require any additional supplements other than your daily vitamin - especially if you have a relatively healthy diet. Extra vitamin C/E pills can acually harm you if you take too much.  \n\nYou are better off to concentrate on a healthy diet, and maintain a healthy body weight.  This will ensure you are not consuming too many calories.  Try avoiding deep fried foods or refined carbohydrates such as found in candy, deserts, and especially soft drinks.  Keep bread, rice and pasta to small portions as they contain significant amounts of sugar.\n\nSome foods may promote healthy skin if they contain antioxidants and Omega Fatty Acids.  Antioxidants can prevent inflammation, contribute to proper growth of collagen which supports the skin, and prevent accelerated aging thought to occur when antioxidant levels in the body are low.\n\nFruit is an excellent source of antioxidants in the form of polyphenols and vitamin C, which can prevent inflammation and prevent a condition known as oxidative stress.  Berries have the highest antioxidant to sugar ratio and blueberries are top of the list.  This is important because a high sugar content can "cancel out" the effects of the antioxidants. For example orange juice is very high in vitamin C (an antioxidant) and very high in sugar.  So for antioxidants you are better off with berries than you are with sweeter fruits like oranges and  pineapples.  You can still drink OJ or grapfruit juice but limit to a small "shot glass".  Apples are also a good fruit - not too sweet - and a good source of fiber.\n\nOmega fatty acids are good for your skin because they are considered to have anti-inflammatory properties. Salmon is a good source of OFAs, however there are concerns over mercury contamination -especially in salmon grown in fish farms.  So you might want to limit salmon to less than 4 times per month and supplement with walnuts which are another great source of OFAs.\n\nMany people believe that water is good for your skin and overall health, however  you do not need to drink an excessive amount.  In a 2002 American Journal of Physiology review, Heinz Valtin concludes that the average person drinks enough water by drinking only when they are thirsty.  So drink your water but there is no need to guzzle 2 Liters of water per day thats for sure.

They are good protein and have little to no fat but very very high in cholesterol.  Yes they are good for you as long as you don't eat a bunch of fatty foods along with them.

I had a friend that had this and she had to stay away from greens when she ate, along with anything that had seeds (including strawberries...those little black seeds on the skin of the strawberry would do her in every time!).\n\nShe also ordered a vitamin from Shaklee.  I can't remember the name of it; however, if you talked to a dealer of their vitamins, I'm sure they could direct you to the right thing (it's actually 2 things...one was a powder that you drink and the other was a tiny round white pill and both restored the natural flora that is in most peoples bowels; however, people that have UC don't have this or have very little of this).\n\nI think I would give these other options a try before the surgery; however, if it doesn't work, definitely talk with your doctor and get a second and third opinion before any surgery!\n\nGood luck!

I looked around and found that many people have tried cinnamon for insulin replacement.  Since it is a natural source for keeping your sugar up and it is not approved by the FDA I wouldn't go out on a limb for it.  Before trying it, consult your doctor. But I found some info on it.\n\n\nIn the media, "cinnamon" has been reported to have remarkable pharmacological effects in the treatment of type II diabetes. However, the plant material used in the study was actually Cassia, as opposed to true cinnamon.\nCassia (Cinnamomum aromaticum, synonym C. cassia) is an evergreen tree native to southern China and mainland southeast Asia west to Myanmar. Like its close relative, Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum, also known as "true cinnamon" or "Ceylon cinnamon"), it is used primarily for its aromatic bark, which is used as a spice.\n\n\nHealth issues\nOne study demonstrates that ingesting 1 to 6 grams of powdered cassia (Cinnamomum cassia) per day significantly reduces blood sugar in type 2 diabetics, and improves cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The effects, which can even be produced by brewing a tea from cassia bark, also benefit non-diabetics who have blood sugar problems. Cassia's effects on enhancing insulin sensitivity appear to be mediated by polyphenols. Despite these findings, cassia should not be used in place of anti-diabetic drugs.\n\nThere is also much anecdotal evidence that consumption of cassia has a strong effect in lowering blood pressure, making it potentially useful to those suffering from hypertension. The USDA has three ongoing studies that are monitoring the blood pressure effect.\n\nThere is concern that there is as yet no knowledge about the potential for toxic buildup of the fat-soluble components in cassia, as anything fat-soluble could potentially be subject to toxic buildup. However, people have been using the spice as a seasoning safely for thousands of years. There are no concluded long term clinical studies on the use of cassia for health reasons.\n\nI didn't put the whole artical. I am just pointing out some of the info that I picked up.  If you'd like to know more just go to the website. Hope you find what you are looking for.

1. Walnuts \n\nWhen it comes to nuts, the walnut is the king. It's a great source of the healthy omega-3 essential fatty acids, which have been found to protect the heart, promote better cognitive function, and provide anti-inflammatory benefits for asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, eczema and psoriasis. \n\nWalnuts also contain the antioxidant compound ellagic acid, which is known to fight cancer and support the immune system. But that's not all--in a study in the August 2003 issue of Phytochemistry, researchers identified 16 polyphenols in walnuts, including three new tannins, with antioxidant activity so powerful they described it as "remarkable."\n\nWalnuts are incredibly healthy for the heart. A study in the April 2004 issue of Circulation found that when walnuts were substituted for about one-third of the calories supplied by olives and other monounsaturated fats in the Mediterranean diet:\n\nTotal cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol were reduced\n\nThe elasticity of the arteries increased by 64 percent\n\nLevels of vascular cell adhesion molecules, which play a major role in the development of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), were reduced\n \n  \n2. Almonds\n\nJust a quarter cup of almonds contains nearly 25 percent of your needed daily value of the important nutrient magnesium, plus is rich in potassium, manganese, copper, the antioxidants vitamin E and selenium, and calcium. In fact, a quarter cup of almonds has almost as much calcium as a quarter cup of milk.\n\nThey're also great for the colon. An animal study on the effects of almonds on colon cancer found that animals (which were exposed to a colon-cancer-causing agent) given whole almonds had fewer signs of colon cancer than animals given almond oil or no almonds. Researchers suspect the benefit may be due to almonds' high fiber content. \n\nPlus, almonds are one of the best nuts for lowering cholesterol because 70 percent of the fat they contain is the healthy monounsaturated variety, which has been shown to help clear arteries.\n \n  \n3. Cashews\n\nCashews are lower in fat than most nuts, and 65 percent of this fat is unsaturated fatty acids. Of this, 90 percent is oleic acid, the heart-healthy fat found in olive oil.\n\nPlus, cashews are rich in copper, magnesium, zinc, iron and biotin.\n \n  \n4. Pecans \n\nPecans are an excellent source of over 19 vitamins and minerals including vitamins E and A, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, copper, phosphorus, potassium, manganese, several B vitamins and zinc. \n\nPlus, according to Sue Taylor, R.D., director of nutrition communication for the National Pecan Shellers Association, "Recent clinical research studies evaluating the impact of pecans on serum cholesterol have found pecans can significantly help lower blood cholesterol when consumed as part of a heart-healthy diet."\n\nIn fact, a study from New Mexico State University found that eating 3/4 cup of pecans a day may significantly lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and help to clear the arteries.\n \n  \n5. Brazil Nuts \n\nThese nuts are extremely nutrient-rich and contain protein, copper, niacin, magnesium, fiber, vitamin E and selenium. Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that works to neutralize dangerous free radicals. A study at the University of Illinois even found that the high amounts of selenium in Brazil nuts may help prevent breast cancer.\n \n\n6. Macadamia Nuts \n\nThese nuts are high in protein, fiber, healthy monounsaturated fats, potassium and magnesium. And, a study done at Hawaii University found that people who had added macadamia nuts to their diets for just one month had total cholesterol levels of 191, compared to 201 for those eating the typical American diet. The largest change was found in the LDL (bad) cholesterol.

Recent research suggests drinking a glass of tart cherry juice might help defuse arthritis pain. Researchers from Michigan State University found anthocyanins, the same chemicals that give tart cherries their color, may have more powerful anti-inflammatory effects than aspirin. It's still unknown whether this might translate into pain relief for arthritis patients in the real world.
