One of the traditions in Buddhism is to pray for the long life
of your teachers or Rinpoches. Another tradition is gifting the Lama when you receive teachings. What better gift than something delicious which will lead to a longer life!
And what about taking care of yourself?
If you would like a long life you should read this article.
LONGEVITY IS A BOWL OF BERRIES WITH A DROP OF CLOVE
By David Stewart, Ph.D., Executive Director
Center for Aromatherapy Research and Education
The Natural Medicine Alert, Published
by the Young Life Research Clinic (YLRC) and Institute of Natural
Medicine contained an article entitled: "Fruits that Prevent Cancer and
Premature Aging." It was thoroughly documented with 80 cited
references. This excellent journal is available from the YLRC for $144
and I highly recommend you subscribe.
According to that article the secret to long, disease-free life may be
to eat lots of fresh berries. Here is why. The aging process is now
largely understood to be the action of free oxygen radicals that arise
in our bodies through normal metabolism and cell function as well
as from external environmental sources. Most free radicals contain
electrically unbalanced oxygen atoms.
Free radicals can be thought of as partial molecules frantically
looking for their missing parts. This makes them hungry and
aggressive, ready to grab a chunk from whatever tissue is available
(namely a piece of our bodies). Hence, they can cause disease by
disrupting normal function at a cellular level. As long as our bodies
can keep these radicals in check by dissipating them harmlessly,
we stay youthful and healthy.
When we suffer an immune deficiency or experience excess stress
from environmental factors such as ambient radiation, impurities in
our air or water, toxins in our foods, etc., free radicals can be formed
in our bodies at a rate faster than we can handle. These radicals
aggressively attack our own tissues causing unhealthy mutations
and irreversible damage. The consequences of this include
accelerated aging, cancer, and a host of other maladies.
There are foods and substances that absorb free radicals (containing
antioxidants) and the more you partake of these, the more youthful
and disease-free you will remain. Scientists at Tufts University have
developed a scale for the U.S. Department of Agriculture called the
ORAC test. (ORAC = Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) The higher
the ORAC score, the more capable that particular food is of destroying
free radicals, thus retarding the aging process and preventing cancers
and other diseases.
One of the most revolutionary products released by Young Living was
Ninxia Red Juice. The scientists at Tufts
University have determined that Ningxia Red Juice has the highest
ORAC score of any food on the market and guess what: It is available
only to Young Living members and distributors.
The top natural antioxidant foods as determined by Tufts University so
far are as follows:
FOOD ORAC SCORE*
Carrots 210
Oranges 750
Beets 840
Raspberries 1,220
Strawberries 1,540
Blueberries 2,400
Chinese Wolfberries 25,300
* based on a 3.5 oz. sample (100 ml)
Cherries, Cranberries, Apricots, Elderberries, Pomegranates and
Huckleberries also score very high, but no fruit or vegetable even
comes close to wolfberries.
Wolfberries (Lyceum barbarum) is the food that keeps the people of
Ningxia Province, China, living to ages of 120-150 and more. They
live that long simply because they never get sick. And they never get
sick because their isolated existence in the high desert is pollution
free and they eat only organic, natural foods high in antioxidants
every day, including wolfberries.
WHERE CAN I GET WOLFBERRIES?
If wolfberries are so great, how can I get some? There is only one place outside of China where wolfberries are grown and that is on the Young Living Farm where more than 100,000 bushes are under cultivation.
Besides Ningxia Red Juice, Young Living has a variety of products
containing wolfberries. They are as follows:
Young Living WOLFBERRY PRODUCTS
Power Meal
Essential Manna-Apricot
Be-Fit
Wolfberry Bar-Almond
Wolfberry Bar-Peanut
Ningxia Red Juice
Chinese Wolfberries
Ningxia Red Juice is a concentrate of the highest scoring antioxidant
foods in the world. Containing 80% wolfberry juice, it also contains
blueberry, pomegranate, apricot and raspberry juices. And itıs delicious.
The power of two tablespoons of Ningxia Red Juice daily is shown in the
following table:
TWO TABLESPOONS OF Ningxia Red JUICE
Have the Antioxidant Power of...
4 pounds of carrots
2 quarts of carrot juice
8 oranges
1 pint of orange juice
2 pounds of beets
2 cups of beet juice
3 cups of raspberries
2 cups of blueberries
Ningxia Red Juice may seem expensive, however, compare with the equivalents
above and you will see that for the same antioxidant benefit, Ningxia Red
Juice is actually less expensive than any of the alternatives above.
ESSENTIAL OILS HAVE THE HIGHEST ORAC SCORES
Essential oils have the highest ORAC scores of any known substance.
According to the Essential Oils Desk Reference, 2nd Ed., they are as
follows:
ESSENTIAL OIL BOTANICAL NAME ORAC SCORE
Sandalwood (Santalum album) 1,655
Roman Camomile (Camaemelum nobile) 2,446
Juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) 2,517
Rosemary (Rosmarianus officianalis) 3,309
Lavender (Lavendula augustifolia) 3,669
Spearmint (Mentha spicata) 5,398
Helichrysm (Helichrysm italicum) 17,420
Lemongrass (Cymbopogen flexuosus) 17,765
Orange (Citrus aurantium) 18,898
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) 24,157
Rose of Sharon (Cistus ladanifer) 38,648
Cinnamon Bark (Cinnamamum verum) 103,448
Mountain Savory (Satureja montana) 113,071
Oregano (Origanum compactum) 153,007
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) 159,590
Clove (Syzigium aromaticum) 10,786,875
Compare these numbers with the berries and you can see how potent
essential oils really are. The last six oils on this chart are even more
powerful than wolfberries. Clove is the champion of all with an ORAC
score over 10 million!! That means a drop of Clove contains 400 times
more antioxidant per unit volume than wolfberries, the most powerful of
all known fruits.
Of course, the comparison isnıt quite fair since oils are concentrates
while fresh fruits are not. Nevertheless, a 15 ml bottle of Clove Oil
(Code #3524, $12.00) has the antioxidant capacity of 150 lbs of carrots,
40 quarts of blueberries or 16 gallons of beet juice.
TWO DROPS OF ESSENTIAL OIL OF CLOVE
Have the Antioxidant Power of . . .
2.5 tablespoons of Ningxia Red Juice
5 pounds of carrots
2.5 quarts of carrot juice
10 oranges
20 ounces of orange juice
2.5 pounds of beets
1 pint of beet juice
4 cups of raspberries
2.5 cups of blueberries
This means a drop of clove in your drinking water or a drop of any
edible essential oil in anything you eat, is good for long, healthy living
and you don't have to eat a dozen oranges or drink a quart of beet juice
every day to do it. A couple of spoonfuls of Ningxia Red Juice will do it,
too.
The bottom line is this: Young Living essential oils and Young Living products are
good for you. The benefits of breathing, applying and taking essential
oils internally while consuming the Young Living supplements are far greater
than you can imagine.
As a gift of long life for your Rinpoche why not give him some Ningxia Red Juice? While you are at it get some for yourself or those you love.

H.H. the Dalai Lama said:
"Many of our problems are created by ourselves
based on divisions due to ideology, religion, race,
economic status, or other factors.
The time has come for us to think on a
deeper level, on a human level and appreciate
and respect our sameness as human beings."
From the book TIBETAN PORTRAIT - THE POWER OF COMPASSION
May all beings benefit.
