Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Carrie Shepard <carrieshepard@yahoo.com>]

Paul,

This simply disregards the true story, it's so much more than pscychological, 
these oils can be used rectally, vaginally, ingested, and used topically and 
they affect the heart, mind, soul, body, and spirit having living frequencies 
that harmonize with one another and our cells:  the constituents in eo's are 
studied in order to produce sythetic drugs which can then be patented and 
marketed.  There's a fairly recent study done here in OK with YL 
frankincense, tsuga, sandalwood, and balsam fir found equally effective 
against bladder cancer.  You have to read the full study to find the other 
oils mentioned that did as well.

BACKGROUND: Originating from Africa, India, and the Middle East, frankincense 
oil has been important both socially and economically as an ingredient in 
incense and perfumes for thousands of years. Frankincense oil is prepared 
from aromatic hardened gum resins obtained by tapping Boswellia trees. One of 
the main components of frankincense oil is boswellic acid, a component known 
to have anti-neoplastic properties. The goal of this study was to evaluate 
frankincense oil for its anti-tumor activity and signaling pathways in 
bladder cancer cells. METHODS: Frankincense oil-induced cell viability was 
investigated in human bladder cancer J82 cells and immortalized normal 
bladder urothelial UROtsa cells. Temporal regulation of frankincense 
oil-activated gene expression in bladder cancer cells was identified by 
microarray and bioinformatics analysis. RESULTS: Within a range of 
concentration, frankincense oil suppressed cell viability in bladder 
transitional
 carcinoma J82 cells but not in UROtsa cells. Comprehensive gene expression 
analysis confirmed that frankincense oil activates genes that are responsible 
for cell cycle arrest, cell growth suppression, and apoptosis in J82 cells. 
However, frankincense oil-induced cell death in J82 cells did not result in 
DNA fragmentation, a hallmark of apoptosis. CONCLUSION: Frankincense oil 
appears to distinguish cancerous from normal bladder cells and suppress 
cancer cell viability. Microarray and bioinformatics analysis proposed 
multiple pathways that can be activated by frankincense oil to induce bladder 
cancer cell death. Frankincense oil might represent an alternative 
intravesical agent for bladder cancer treatment.
