Best Face Masks & Personal Protection Equipment PPE Rankings
Best Face Masks & Defense Personal Protection Equipment Rankings + Experience – Best Looking PPE face mask shield during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our proud bio-team outfit here in beautiful Panama tropics has been developing health information for a while now, and like everyone in the world, we have been taking a hard look at the new COVID-19 flu, sanitizers, the best face masks, and personal protection equipment (PPE).
This is history in the making, a serious precedent to be taken very seriously regarding the way we view the flu. We have taken it upon ourselves to search out the best looking PPE face shields and masks and see if they can’t play an everyday role in our lives to prevent spreads of virus and disease.
The old July 2017 cold/flu headline: Just in time for Flu season, and hopefully, no need to battle the worst of flu strains in your area, although they are predicted to be fierce this year – be sure to read these important things to know!
❉ COVID-19 Flu Researchers! Be advised of the World Health Organization, and the Center for Disease Control recommendations.
So I offer a thoughtful, experienced read on the fight and some DIY options. I also mention some serious cautions everyone should know about these symptoms and some serious acknowledgments about them and how they are affecting more people, more severely, today.
First, let us go over the physical best COVID-19 Defense strategy using personal protection equipment for individuals. Also here is a helpful guide from the Center on Disease Control and the new Government Coronavirus Site.
❉ 1 COVID-19 / FLU Defense
Strong Personal Health & Immune System
“Protecting nature is what will ultimately protect you.”
- Best Water
- Best Nutrition
- Best Sleep
- Complete Exercise
- Educated Personal Protection Equipment PPE use
- *Best Immune System Booster
Some studies show that even ramping up simply ramping up vitamin C intake can keep you locked out from sickness, like the COVID19 Coronavirus.
Certain schools of thought feel that by staying extremely hydrated one can avoid the set in of bad bacteria.
Sleep experts would say and true it is, “good sleep and rest is the best preparation for combatting illness.”
No doubt all potent points of view for employing. If you ask me I’ll likely say an attitude of gratitude should carry you through most troubling things.
Mangoes go into season now (March to May). To see more on the immune system boosting click here.
❉ 2 COVID-19 / FLU Defense
Rural areas and self quarantining.
If you have the ability to retreat to rural homes and nature than you should do this as much as possible. Nature and exercise will be king in keeping a strong system also.
This will spread much faster in dense cities than in rural areas.
Keeping your distance from others including surfaces, if you can simply stay away from it all you will.
This is a moment in history where we should appreciate time with loved ones. Time to get that computer work done, work from home and think real hard about the possibility of this happening again.
Studies suggest even sunlight itself can help with influenza. [3,4]

❉ 3 COVID-19 / FLU Defense
Personal Protective Equipment PPE
- Disinfectant
- Gloves
- Best Face Mask s & Glasses [1]
If you must travel take all the precautions, take the vitamins, and the best serrapeptase and definitely use sanitizer, alcohol, gloves and a mask with glasses. Not many mentions the glasses but eye ports are huge as far as to contact and with contraction of viruses.
To wear a face mask without eye protection is a little ill-informed. Sanitize with an alcohol spray, an autoclave, and the sun, all of these items regularly.
Treat money the same way, sanitizing it and your hands all the time. It is handling money or cards that oftentimes is the spreader of illness but sanitation is a cheap easy solution to this.
These steps right here really should be a priority and those who meet these criteria should be able to travel, etc.
Discussion: Schools and sports shut down seems smart and doable but this continued shutdown of nearly the entire economy could be more damaging than the virus itself.
I am proud to say the Chiriqui Province of Panama where I write to from today (March 23, 2020), has done a very intelligent job of keeping things running, buttoning up some new precautions while toning down the public pace.
Around the 28th, of March robberies have started to happen in Panama City and Colon.
They didn’t seem to enforce the curfew too harshly either, at first, which is really a good ethical thing on the part of law enforcement here. Then as the world went into total lockdown so have we.
❉ We have to balance and figure how much banning rights and work, and shutdowns of the economy will damage more than a virus itself.
Overall we seem to be managing pretty well, but I noticed a few obvious pointers missed.
❉ You would think an education program or video could be produced to quickly advise the risks and ways to protect oneself and enhance the immune system’s protection ability could be a part of whats televised all day about this.
❉ A focus on the immune system and the best overall health is surely worth much more consideration than I have found in all this week of digging into COVID19 Coronavirus information.
❉ Now if we all lived in homes that were actually sustainable homes, appropriately spread out, we would be fine. That’s probably a stretch for most readers at this time.
Curfews will surely put more breaks on the spread, to a very small degree and is this evidence that the control freaks are behind it all? Is protection against looting and homeless entry while businesses are closed?
It’s all very hard to deal with, it almost seems that harsh media warning about carefulness and personal protective equipment could have even fueled the economy, and saved the grocery store buy up scares that leave so many without.
However, that all being said a lesson from history on the Spanish flu is the thing was scary, it affected many, precautions were eventually taken, and when it was over began the roaring 20’s.
Could U.S. President Trump’s comments about “coming back better than ever” following this “15 days to slow the spread,” be accurate?
A history teacher tells me the majority of history books in classrooms don’t even have the Spanish Fu in them.
Theory: It would seem once a majority builds the immunity maybe we share with each other that immunity rather than the sickness?
Maybe we can share in optimism about it all at least.
We could speculate even, and many do that the Spanish Flu of 1918 contributed to the booming of the 1920s.
We are talking about America, it would be good to look more at what happened to the developing countries, during the Spanish flu, at least for me since I am in Panama at the moment.
An artist friend yells at me over the phone now as I finish this piece up, about how “following black plague the Renaissance period began one of the most revolutionary and flourishing art periods in history.

BEST PPE & FLU DEFENSE BENEFITS
If one protects themselves well both with PPE and immune defense; should they come in contact with contagious viral bacteria, hopefully, it’s in a very small amount and the immune system is prepared to fight.
One piece of good news we must not take for granted is we are not new to the flu. Several historical focal points have been pointed out some not so repeated in media. As always you can get the full scoop here.
For a time now certain weapons against the flu have been identified and written about. [5,6]
As mentioned earlier the idea of this is nothing new, and the lack of preparatory measures can be fairly graded as a large error in management, although it could be much worse. And statesman administrations (outside of the control-freaks) everywhere are showing the best side of humanity if not but for a bit.
A clear to benefit, to be responsible is feeling responsible, feeling proud and earning respect from peers and from self for being AJ-ready to go.
PPE & FLU DEFENSE SIDE EFFECTS
You want to stay home when you are sick, the big risk is you get something else while weakened and the two or more together bring you way down.
Right away the recommendations were to take protective measures, especially if aged middle 50’s or over. [7,8]
BEST FLU DEFENSE EXPERIENCE
Bigger Risks at Play > Need to Know About – Flu Symptoms and the Times
The times of flu symptoms and the times today, are increasingly dangerous yearly and should be paid attention to. Two months ago (this article has been revised in 2020 and was originally published in July of 2017 for DIY flu treatments and readiness ), May 4, 2017, Brian Walsh reported in his Times Magazine article, The World Is Not Ready for the Next Pandemic, pointing out that the new bird flu H7N9 is on the loose moving from birds to humans in China and costing a towering death tole.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ranks H7N9 as the flu strain with the greatest potential to cause a pandemic–an infectious disease outbreak that goes global. If a more contagious H7N9 were to be anywhere near as deadly as it is now, the death toll could be in the tens of millions.
The Spanish flu of 1918, carried around the world by soldiers bound for or returning from the butchery of Europe’s battlegrounds, killed between 50 and 100 million people – much more than that died in the First World War itself, and maybe more than have died in any war. This is the same H1N1 that was tested from 26 April 2009, to 13 February 2010; whereas the CDC had received reports of the deaths of 277 children with laboratory-confirmed 2009 influenza A (H1N1) within the United States.
Yellow Fever, dengue fever, and staph are here in Panama where we study Nutritional Diversity diet mastering, ‘papalamoya’ a form of Leishmaniasis, and other incredibly strong bacterial, viral and parasite infections are everywhere waiting for a weakened host.
Torcello, or bot fly parasites now word-familiar because of the shock value of the videos and other strong parasites live here, and most humans who have lived here long enough have become familiar with something painful or threatening along these lines.
Flu and Cold symptoms once again come with a heavier warning and a heavier potency here in the climate where bacteria thrive.
When fighting a sickness like this in the modern age, it may be in modern medicine, like a pill that we find resolve. Especially considering the very real possibility that this thing has been tinkered with by a lab.
One thing is very likely that this is a response to encroachment on nature.
Either way, we need to back off nature and stop destroying the planet.
I can’t stop thinking about the best immune system boosters, and how available they remain as toilet paper and masks sell out. With strong immune systems and the best immune system boosters, it seems like most of us should be able to take this COVID-19 thing head-on and leave the restrictions to the old folks or those with conditions pre-existing.
As drugs have been in existence these various flu viruses and infectious bacteria have actually evolved and become stronger, and drug-resistant even.
Several disease control and health authorities theorize and warn (2017 original notation) that the next big health crisis is going to be in a flu-like capacity. The ‘2009 H1N1 Pandemic’ while much less deadly than the same virus in 1918, represented a strain interestingly resistant to the vaccine for it.
We must be stronger people to resist stronger viruses. We must have the stronger nutrition.
Again the best immune system boosters come to mind.
Today, how many fast, aggressive infections are successfully treated by pharmaceuticals, purchased down the street? City convenience and central product distribution have their perks.
I am not saying that drugs like Erythromycin and Amoxicillin could be 100% needed especially if Sepsis or other complications set in. Here in Panama, they sell these things without a prescription. They will sell individual pills of it too, and the cost of these compounds here is nothing compared to the cost in the States.
I have, however, recently seen one treat an aggressive sinus infection clear with these antibiotics, where I was seemingly unable to treat the particular infection using the homeopathic remedy. This particular patient had not been on this diet and based on interview questions it seemed they were on a poorly planned diet. Also, I am no expert I simply know enough to know that it is possible to heal all of these things naturally and curious enough to try to figure it out. Not that info would be important or anything… f r e e d o m ..
Nutritional Diversity as a preventative health science assumes that with a diverse enough full spectrum of Nutritional Diversity intake, the system can reject and deal with the infection before it can run in the system any noticeable symptom is ever encountered.
This again in reasonable biological consideration it would depend also on the type of infection, it’s potency and strength, and it’s a delivery vehicle into the human being.
The impact would also depend on what kind of best immune system boosters were employed.
Influenza and mosquito driven sicknesses represent some of the most dangerous of our time. I want to point out some risks to be considered when experiencing flu symptoms, that are not as well known but should be now.
In this particular COVID-19 case, as the smoke clears it seems or more and more a question why were we not advised earlier to have immune boosters and flu blocks, especially when Universities such as Minnesota published a thorough warning that these viruses were more than potential experiences for us and could even be deployed at any time as bioterror attacks via CIDRAP back in 2003. [x]
❉ Medications in the modern pharmacy include Oseltamivir, sold under the brand name Tamiflu, is an antiviral medication used to treat and prevent influenza A and influenza B (flu), Zanamivir is a neurasthenia inhibitor medication used to treat and prevent influenza caused by influenza A and B viruses. They have been evaluated to be 20 percent effective in reducing the complications or symptoms of the patient.
❉ Scientists discovered that omeprazole family compounds block the “proton pump”, and hypothesized that they
could “interfere with the mechanism of fusion of the virus envelope and endosomal membrane, thereby hindering
the M2 proton pump mechanism of influenza viruses.” [x,x]
❉ These compounds should be more of a focus today as well as one malaria drug. [WSJ,LS]
❉ Ib proffer is said to have major conflicts with viruses causing patients to have worse symptoms and severe pain.
This decade is seeing some more damaging and more popular issues than one might think. Some are steadily on the rise, and at a shockingly increasing rate.
According to Edgar Cayce, even the most nutritious foods can turn to poison in the system if eaten while a person is in a negative frame of mind. Never eat when angry, worried or extremely tired.
This sounds a lot like Masauro Emotto’s flash-frozen water prints.
Interestingly mentioned in the book, Pandemic: Tracking Contagions from Cholera to Ebola and Beyond, Shah discusses the history and science of contagious diseases, “humans put themselves at risk by encroaching on wildlife habitats. “About 60 percent of our new pathogens come from the bodies of animals,” she says. Bat’s, birds and monkeys by way of insects like mosquitoes are where we have contracted our major illnesses she explained also.
The H1N1 Flu virus, which is theorized to have combined with other flu strains that all work together, is currently (2009, the last peak point in Flu effectiveness) less lethal than previous pandemic strains and kills about 0.01–0.03% of those infected; the 1918 influenza was about one hundred times more lethal and had a case fatality rate of 2–3%. [x]
By 14 November 2009, the virus had infected one in six Americans with 200,000 hospitalizations and 10,000 deaths – as many hospitalizations and fewer deaths than in an average flu season overall, but with a much higher risk for those under 50. With deaths of 1,100 children and 7,500 adults 18 to 64, these figures “are much higher than in a usual flu season.”
There has been a lot of debate about falsified statistics, and manufactured pandemic media, as well as in surrounding vaccine effectiveness.
The NY Times reports, “more than 300 instances of emerging infectious diseases occurred between 1940 and 2004.” Professor Oxford, a world authority on epidemics, to warn that a new global pandemic of animal-derived flu is inevitable. And, he says, “the clock is ticking fast, to look to 2017-2018 for signs of its emergence.”
When we get sick with the flu, we need to consider our weakened system is susceptible to other attacks and complications.
Sepsis
Sepsis is a condition (and common flu complication) that can kick into gear with numerous underlying infections or causes; sepsis can become an issue out of a host of other issues and we need to be more careful about it that we think.
Just like with candida information, more should know about sepsis, and how common of occurrence it is.
Sepsis causes millions of deaths globally each year and is the most common cause of death in people who have been hospitalized. The worldwide incidence of sepsis is estimated to be 18 million cases per year. In the United States sepsis affects approximately 3 in 1,000 people, and severe sepsis contributes to more than 200,000 deaths per year. [x]
The door of sepsis swings open in 1–2% of all hospitalizations and accounts for as much as 25% of ICU bed utilization. Because it is rarely reported as a primary diagnosis (often being a complication of cancer or other illness or infection), the incidence, mortality, and morbidity rates of sepsis are likely underestimated even then. One Native American tribe medicine man was observed taking the rarely sick Indian a distance away from the camp and treating the patient there, and of course, as many measures as possible to provide sterility and stop the spread of infections and infection complications such as sepsis are taken in today’s hospitals. [x]
Sepsis is a blood infection, a life-threatening condition that arises when the body’s response to infection causes injury to its own tissues and organs. Common signs and symptoms include fever, increased heart rate, increased breathing rate, and confusion. Severe sepsis sets in with poor organ function or insufficient blood flow. Insufficient blood flow may be evident by low blood pressure, high blood lactate, or low urine output. Septic shock is low blood pressure due to sepsis that does not improve after reasonable amounts of intravenous fluids are given.
Sepsis is caused by an immune response triggered by an infection. Most commonly, the infection is bacterial, but it may also be from fungi, viruses, or parasites. More people die from Sepsis than from automobile fatalities. [x]
After treatment especially antibiotic treatment definitely consider using the best immune system boosters available today or better, the nutritional diversity diet to rebuild your health and defenses.
Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Leaks, Meningitis, Staph, Severe Infection
Staphylococcus aureus, Meningitis, and Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, blood infections, serious sinus infections are the calling card of many unnecessary brain damages, deaths and complications for the decade ahead and behind us today.
Symptom: The onset of a metal taste in the mouth could indicate a window of opportunity that is open at that time for the entrance of problems that will strike later.
This was Amoxicyllen time for me I won’t lie. And that did the trick.
Many of these cases are ill assessed, or the result of not taking the seemingly simple infection seriously enough at the onset. Contaminant tumors and long term developing risks can set in at the sinus walls.
If fever, loss of normal taste and smell or sores in the mouth, nose or ear canals, or on the face under the skin are increasingly sensitive; the personal threat level should be raised to red.
The popularity of the sinus attack to deliver quick, effective and crippling results to patients has risen sharply and now is a proclaimed, ‘2020 top ten serious-risk to humans,’ on several health journals.
Infections of the sinuses are more popular because of polluted air and polluted oceans lakes and water supplies.
Chemical showering on certain city water supplies is a very valid concern and it does contribute to inner ear and sinus problems and the weakening of several vital tissues in the body. Of course, drinking this contaminated water supply does also.
Up to 25% of pneumonia cases and up to 70% of meningitis and encephalitis cases are caused by unknown foreign pathogens.
New Technology that provides for “genomic diagnosis,” which involves sequencing all the genetic data in a patient sample in an effort to find all hidden pathogens – will be game-changing in the detection of pathogenic causes to infection.

Erected in Munich in 1638, shows a basilisk being slayed
These things being known, we must launch a constant and dedicated wellness campaign to win the fight against infection before the infection sets in. Also, identification and treatments should be able to be produced pretty quickly in these times.
Heavy set-in could leave lasting damages and effects such as mucous pockets and tumors that could affect us later in life especially as athletes if left untreated or submitted to.
COVID-19 Coronavirus presents some of the most aggressive flu activity yet.
Carriers of the Herpes virus, HPV, hepatitis or HIV obviously have a greater risk of explosive infections and problems with flu and other viruses, though the thought should be. That even these too can be beaten. that being said, a combination of one serious condition and COVID-19 Coronavirus could quickly take a person down.
Don’t forget about the all-natural actions and agents in the fight!
The fountain of youth and health that is the Nutritional Diversity diet, requires constant maintenance and up-keep and intake volumes to achieve the desired results; which are quite different than traditional diets have us planning and consuming.
Make no mistake at the least that a tough sickness like COVID-19 Coronavirus needs a tough fight.
❉ Breathwork is a viable defense option, well presented and brought to science by Wim Hoff, and as far as I am concerned this can be some extremely powerful stuff to have especially regarding viruses that present significant mortality rates.
❉ Cold shower and polar plunges are great immune system activators.
❉ The sun people. The sun.
❉ Herbs and nature. Some starting species to look at not mentioned above are basil, noni, damiana, ambrosia (colleague C.D. Moulton already claims success here) pumpkin squash, ashwagandha, cassava leaf and regular best green juices possible with this and other stuff and you are on your way to optimal health.
❉ Run. Swim. Play in nature with loved ones.
Curfew and the costs to enforce it, the productivity that has stopped, and any forced actions to come make me very wary. these things seem like they would come with more damage than this particular virus strain. A careful tiptoe, we all now walk no doubt.
Whatever way I have a few things in play this virus throws a wrench at, and so it becomes a responsibility to take a good look at what it really is.
A woman from Bugava marks the first case in this province, and it happened this day of updating the piece on March 3rd, 2020.
PPE & FLU DISCUSSION
https://youtu.be/d_nrjgQsTW0
Group immunity and individual immunity are both real things. Immunity can be shared between species and that is part of how animals run around just fine with these diseases. The other reason is they eat highly diverse diets.
Hypothesis: This being said ideally the best way for the individual to come into contact with this is by small contact, maybe air contact while the immune system is in top shape. This is rest, exercise, water, sun, nutrition, vitamins and supplements and this should be calculated. I cannot stress enough the link above for a highly refined, extremely functional, advanced and highly diverse diet.
This form of “air vaccination,” is perfect for the flu, is more natural for the human system, it is trustworthy for patients and cheaper in cost, plus less intrusive is always better.
This type one day treatment could go on in hotel rooms and sustain the tourism industry that will now fall from quarantine.
There have been times in history where this quarantine was totally necessary and its best to be safe than sorry. There is no better time to remain a product during such a time at home than now.
In this particular case, rankings were especially difficult to stay on top of as they would keep going out of stock. We have been making several updates per week the best COVID-19 spray sanitizers and PPE. We resorted to certain creative avenues is this particular operation.
What about fashionable body/head suits?
COVID-19 / FLU FAQ
Q. Does COVID-19 Coronavirus kill everyone who gets it?
A. No. Not even close. Many will experience only a cough or less. The most at risk are people overweight, out of shape already weakened by another condition. With this Flu, most who die will die from a complication such as pneumonia.
Q. COVID-19 Coronavirus has been said to resemble the formulation of a heavily mutated, modified or lab altered virus. What are your thoughts on this?
A. Russia seems to feel the same way recently. For now, we will stay focused on health and not in “politics,” the absolute best soap opera I have ever seen and made sure not to get sucked into! 😉
The ability for the whole world to implement the same criteria at once quickly is here.
This makes permaculture farming so much more attractive to me than ever before.
Q. What is the best COVID-19 defense!!!??
A. The best COVID-19 defense is technically immunity. At a time where big business is not trusted and neither are vaccines and as far as building that immunity and general best COVID-19 defense; is to be in excellent health, with lots of continuous and diverse nutrition, sleep, exercise, and water is the best COVID-19 defense.
Q. What is your (the author) best COVID-19 defense!!!?? What is your routine like right now?
A. #1 A high diversity of food! Deep see tuna, red meat, chicken, and about 70 different plants and supplements. best immune system booster and such. Liters and liters of oil. Tons of water including a few liters of distilled and ozone charged.
❉ I have my boxing timer app set to 30 minutes (computer work) intervals with ten minutes (urination rotation) breaks where at this time I am just pure push-ups and splits stretches all day. I have been on a slow build to 2k push-ups per day at 20-40 push intervals followed by a 20 splits stretch and a cold shower.
I figured I would use the time to increase my daily push-up stack from 500 to 1000.
One way I may want to do is get a day of double what I want my work out norm to be so.
- I did this by doing 250 the first day to have no soreness but prep up. The second day I did 400 and the third I shot for 2k. So I can give myself some warm-up over two easy days and went right at it. Day three I through lots of door frame chest stretching in also.
- I did 20g whey protein, 5g best collagen joint complex, 4g cordyceps, 2g taurine, at intervals of 320, in smoothies.
- I jumped caloric intake day 2, 3 (22nd) and 4 (rest) significantly, I was stockpiling whatever we could get anyway.
❉ Then I put new topical and internal nutrition and keep my intervals small and designed to keep my sys in a high rev idle concentrating on vitamin C and immune sys helpers.
❉ Then I go dry in the sun while I let the dog out, cause I keep him in with me since, in the beginning, they were saying pets can get it.
❉ I have also taken the time to focus on my Tai Chi, and the Art of Frying Small Jealous Minds..

Then I am back it again. When life gets tough on you, its time to get tough in life. I would say we are pretty locked out here regardless of the mayhem that is forming all around us here in David, Chiriqui Panama.

Q. By how much does this sanitation and personal protective equipment PPE really help?
A. If you protect yourself correctly you can hang out with this virus all day and not get it theoretically.
Q. How much does this PPE itself affect our environment?
Great question, thank you for asking. It can be the determining factor in getting a virus or not although, it could be argued (our team would argue) that it could be better to encounter and build an immune defense. 2. We have not seen a recycle effort for gloves and mask so this is all disposable waste selling out to the earth as toxic to digest in the end. 3. Sterilization of the living environment and living utensils such as cell phones gives a chance for immune system to rest.
That being said,
“When they are really coming after you you know you are doing it right!” – Harry Dent Economic Forecaster
ABSTRACT: In this crazy flu case, a virus is looking for a host, it does not want the host to die. It may even want a system that builds immunity that part is still unclear, but it doesn’t want the host to stop living because this virus could stop living also, of there no other host to go to. We live with tons of viruses all the time we just get along with them now, and in so we are able to move forward and take on even stronger ones, the weight-lifting and training possibly of the immune system.
VIRAL DEFENSE & PPE RECAP
COVID-19 Novel CoronaVirus and other flu viruses are highly contagious and powerful.
Keeping your distance from others, using PPE and keeping your immune system on high is the best defense.
Likely the first in a series of harmful viruses. This is certainly the warning shot and personal education period on the possibilities of future issues.
Get ready for the economy to slingshot into a new “roaring era!”
Don’t have a victim mentality and protect yourself at all times.

For Those Interested in Global Health Regarding the Pandemic Preparedness Conversation
Pay good attention to the pandemic prevention possibilities of the “Global Virome Project,” an ambitious offensive strategy to identify, characterize and sequence the nearly five hundred thousand viruses that have the potential to spill over.
The best defense is a good offense.
The scientists behind the project estimate that it would cost $3.4 billion to complete the endeavor which pretty affordable after the number I have heard from the President’s CoronaVirus task force lately. It’s a huge amount of money in the shoestring world of animal health.
“PREDICT,” by comparison, is funded at one hundred million and many believe that the project would easily pay for itself many times over if it could successfully stop a single pandemic.
The Global Virome Project, which has been championed by leading infectious-disease experts around the world, is still almost entirely inspirational.
One thing to note is the independent inspiration was the Human Genome Project when it was first proposed by academic biologists years before its formal government launch.

Best Ashwagandha Rankings, Benefits & Experience
The best ashwagandha is one of the most famous and central of Ayurvedic herbs, and for good reason. The odor of horse (‘ashwagandha‘ translated). Withania somnifera, known commonly as ashwagandha, Indian ginseng, poison gooseberry, winter cherry, or urine of the cows, is a plant in the Solanaceae / nightshade family.
Ayurveda, roughly translated into “Knowledge of life”, if which the magic herb is center in therapeutic measures to boost physical, mental, social, and spiritual harmony in order to improve the total quality of life. [x]
Several other species in the genus Withania are morphologically similar, which means at a microscopic, or not level, the anatomy or structure of the plant closely resembles that of other plants, in this case in the nightshade family.
The tomato is of the nightshade family. Cucumbers and peppers, too. ND normally goes very light on nightshades; peeling and de-seeding are very important with them because of the ‘lectins’ they carry. These lectins are proteins that act as splinters to sugar molecules that together create toxins that dull performance and cause signs of aging. The *could be bypassed by leaf-only consumption.
There are many a processes involved with eating from the garden, and they should be. It is like a video game after a while, trying to find the hidden way and unlock the power of nature and her armada of trillions upon trillions of species that work together as a divine organ playing the tune of life. We will never understand it all in this lifetime.
Ayurveda is the oldest surviving written system of healing and optimization. Popular herbs in today’s culture, such as the popular root of turmeric or cousin ginger, are two other plants of the same family with similar morphological benefits.
The ND Sciences Group has been using each of them for temporary use treatment, not for regular use treatment.
The use of the best ashwagandha in Ayurvedic medicine extends back over 3000 to 4000 years to the teachings of an esteemed rishi (sage), Punarvasu Atriya.
It has been described in the ancient principle sacred texts of Ayurveda, including the Charaka and Sushruta Samhitas.
Ashwagandha is also used as an “adaptogen” to help the body cope with daily stress, lower blood pressure and as a general tonic to improve immunity.
Many don’t realize that when certain plants are used together they can unlock a new level of effectiveness.
Oftentimes these ‘together’ effects can be unlocked through the use of other plants such as the best hot peppers, other peppers, and black pepper.
Withania somnifera has been a principal ingredient in many herbal remedies and green juices, throughout time.
Let’s check out the best ashwagandha we can order up today and get it into our system tomorrow!

The superfood has been the focus of regenerative health possibilities is an ongoing track of study. [16]
Glutamate neurotoxicity a cause of some stroke, head trauma, multiple sclerosis, and neurodegenerative disorders has pointed a search for herbal remedies. [17]
In the traditional system of medicine in India, the magic herb has been used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. This could surely be helped further by the addition of turmeric. [18]
The magic plant is traditionally used in treating epilepsy, depression, arthritis, diabetes, and palliative effects such as analgesic, rejuvenating, regenerating, and growth-promoting effects. [19]
examine the possible effects of ashwagandha root extract consumption on muscle mass and strength in healthy young men engaged in resistance training.
A great 8-week, randomized and prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study using 57 young male subjects 18–50 years of age, with basic experience in resistance training who were then randomized into magicherbtreatment (29) and placebo (28) testing groups.
Testers in the ‘treatment’ group consumed 300mg of withania root extract twice daily, while the control group ate starch placebos.
This study reported that ashwagandha supplementation is concretely associated with and supportive of significant increases in muscle mass and strength and concluded suggesting that ashwagandha supplementation may be a powerful add-in fop a resistance training program. [20]

ASHWAGANDHA SIDE EFFECTS
Headache, sleepiness, and stomach upset have been reported in clinical studies when doses become very high. Remember to start slow with all things, rare allergic reactions are always possible.
Withania somnifera is regarded generally as very safe. [x,x]
ASHWAGANDHA EXPERIENCE
I use the shrub as much as possible, it grows at certain locations I visit it frequently. I am new to knowing her personally.
Ashwagandha ‘s History & Modern Use
Traditionally, ashwagandha has been given as a nerve tonic and adaptogen, which means as an agent to helps people adapt to various emotional and physical stressors.
It was classically used in India for nearly 5,000 years for conditions such weakness and debility in old age, hardships while young, constipation, insomnia, nervous conditions, stress, goiter, joint inflammation, parasites, hormone balance, and rheumatism – sort of a cure-all bring the overall system up herb. Good Nutritional Diversity diet plans want as many species with that feature as they can get in.
In old days a paste even made from the ashwagandha root, powdered then applied topically as a treatment to boils, cancers on the skin or gums, and other health threatening-looking tissue.
Ashwagandha is known to help people strengthen their immune systems after illness, chemotherapy, and surgery. It is a highly effective, evidence-based remedy to help reduce levels of stress and anxiety by lowering cortisol levels, and a plethora of other ways, to reach the end goal.
The scientist is quick to point out the presence of triterpene lactones, withanolides, withaferin A, alkaloids, steroidal lactones, tropine, and cuscohygrine, and other relatively powerful and recognized plant essences and chemicals realized form the laboratory dissection of the plant – something that in the pursuit of healing and performance anyway, is not necessary.
Alternative Use of Ashwagandha
Now people have matched the magic herb to a stack of conditions such as arthritis, anxiety, bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), balance, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trouble sleeping (insomnia), tumors, tuberculosis, asthma, a skin condition marked by white patchiness (leukoderma), bronchitis, backache, fibromyalgia, menstrual problems, hiccups, tumors, tuberculosis, asthma, a skin condition marked by white patchiness (leukoderma), Parkinson’s disease, and chronic liver disease. It is also used to reduce the side effects of medications used to treat cancer and schizophrenia.
Like ginger, ashwagandha is said to reduce fat and sugar levels in the blood. A very similar list seems addressed by another shrub the same size; Ambrosia.
The soft two and a half foot shrub sometimes with small berry, is easy to grow in pots, and around the permaculture farm in sunny to partial, in dry stony earth. It has fury leaves and green parts and grows the orange to red fruit inside of a case that looks like the roof of the Kremlin, made from linen.
ASHWAGANDHA DISCUSSION
We ranked the best ashwagandha Withania somnifera, supplements to asses real source quality, refer the potent medicinal herb to clients as an alternative to other substances and to further our studies of plants and plant nutritional effects across I wider range of experiment and examination.
We looked hard at the warm looking herb whose fruits come in Kremlin-like domes that really help aerate and nutrify soil mixes, and we took time to consider what factors were important, and what factors were not while selecting the best Withania somnifera, herb source.
This is done by our company because we think one day the referrals could help us to provide this cutting edge information and because we need to find out and refer only the best product to our group of readers.
The Withania somnifera, is very applicable to the ND food combinations and ratios we have been working on in the last few years. She fits right in. We mark her high, on the demand list for our clients, permaculturists, athletes and general followers.
This is one of the ones we have spent a lot of time on.
Third-party testing of the substances available was required for ranking in this particular recommendation.
At least one hundred positive user statements are materials were the second requirement we had in this eval.
Anytime there is a good combination herb or benefits for any given substance we are sure to make mention of that. In this case turmeric for arthritis maybe jackfruit too, and damiana and or mango for energy and sexual performance and function restoration, gotu kola or dormilona (which acts more as a stimulant for me personally) for sleep and insomnia, and papaya for high-octane digestive capabilities and ginger for blood management. Black pepper, hot pepper, salt, oils and avocado can always improve uptake.

Best Hot Peppers, The Many Benefits, Rankings, Side Effects & Experience
𝕻icante, or spicy hot peppers are not as popular here in South America, as they are in my hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico,

Albuquerque Hot Air Balloon Fiesta, State Flag Balloon
which is also the hometown of the #1 International Fiery Foods Festival and also the more famous International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta.
Hot peppers have been used, cultivated, and cherished since man existed. Mostly for a good purpose, sometimes for bad.
Right away with athletic performance clients, I make sure a fiery food practice is employed. If you want a strong system overall, and you are asking me, you want to start training or progress as significantly as possible in your ability to eat the best hot peppers.
Once you have the skill it’s one you won’t want to lose. They say once you can’t take it anymore it’s hopeless you are without the spice and that’s not good.
The best hot peppers are superfoods. If you are one of the ones that thought you couldn’t but want to get back into it just go slow and keep tomatoes and tomato-based sauces out of it in the beginning. The best olive oil helps.
The love of hot peppers, and the health benefits that have been realized and enjoyed strongly dispel the notions that, if it tastes good it is best for you, or that taste is an object of edibility.
Hot peppers, especially those containing capsaicin, can offer a wide range of performance, health, and toughness benefits when included in a diet. Here’s a breakdown:
Performance Benefits
- Improved Circulation: Capsaicin dilates blood vessels, enhancing circulation and oxygen delivery to muscles during physical activity.
Metabolic Boost: Eating hot peppers can increase metabolic rate, helping with fat burning and energy production.
Endurance Support: The adrenaline rush from spicy foods can enhance focus and stamina, potentially improving athletic endurance.
Pain Tolerance: Regular exposure to capsaicin may increase your pain threshold, which can be helpful in pushing through tough workouts.
Health Benefits
Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Capsaicin has anti-inflammatory effects, helping reduce chronic inflammation, which is linked to conditions like arthritis and heart disease.
Enhanced Immunity: The high vitamin C content in peppers supports the immune system, aiding in quicker recovery from illnesses or strenuous activity.
Heart Health: Capsaicin can lower LDL cholesterol levels, reduce blood pressure, and improve overall heart health.
Digestive Health: In moderate amounts, peppers stimulate the digestive system, improving gut motility and possibly enhancing microbiome diversity.
Pain Relief: Capsaicin can desensitize nerve endings, which is why it’s often used in topical pain relief creams. Internally, this can help alleviate mild discomfort and reduce chronic pain perception.
Anti-Cancer Potential: Studies suggest that capsaicin can help slow the growth of certain cancer cells by promoting apoptosis (programmed cell death).
Toughness Benefits
Mental Toughness: Eating hot peppers regularly can train your brain to handle discomfort better, increasing resilience in challenging situations.
Endorphin Release: The initial heat from peppers stimulates the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, creating a sense of euphoria and promoting mental toughness.
Adaptation to Stress: Capsaicin activates the same stress responses as physical exercise, helping the body adapt to and recover from stress more efficiently.
Cold Resistance: Regular consumption of spicy foods has been associated with increased thermogenesis, helping you tolerate colder environments more effectively.
Other Benefits
Weight Management: The appetite-suppressing effects of capsaicin can help with calorie control, aiding in fat loss or maintenance of a lean physique.
Antioxidant Protection: Hot peppers are rich in antioxidants like beta-carotene and flavonoids, which protect against oxidative stress and support overall health.
Including hot peppers in your diet in moderation can help you tap into these benefits, making them a potent addition to a health-conscious or high-performance lifestyle.
ABSTRACT
In the garden I have grown some habanero relative peppers, the Mayan relative pepper, a little round ‘tabasco’ pepper, and a few jalapenos in the mountains, which speak for the general idea in local peppers. There are many species of best hot peppers that do well here, and really most hot peppers can do well anywhere they are fed and attended to well.
The most well-known hot variety, although not so hot here anymore, are listed as ‘Mayan’ peppers, and they are larger peppers and look like the ‘Red and Green Chile’ in New Mexico that hangs on ‘ristras.’
New Mexicans have been eating these (our local version of that can be very hot) chili peppers that grow there for thousands of years. New Mexicans I know will tell you our pepper is from there in New Mexico brought directly from God and is the super, superfood of them all, and you will read in a moment how they really are!
The main idea in the migratory plant study is that the Mayan pepper is from the traditional Aji, and from that different cultivars evolved.
Concretely, in contrast, there is really nothing to assure that this idea is true, or that the idea of New Mexico’s Hatch Green Chili is a completely different insert ofa completely different pepper either.
Some have theorized that Hatch Green Chili peppers, the best hot pepper could be behind Albuquerque dominating the UFC.
Ideas of hot foods making hot heads in history are all theoretical. Mostly the thought was spicy food love started during specific cultures that practiced developing intentional pain tolerance.
Recently, phytoliths of garlic mustard seed (Alliaria petiolata) were found in carbonized food deposits on prehistoric pottery from the western Baltic dating from 6,1 k.a to 5,7 k.a cal BP (Ertebölle Complex).
This archaeological evidence suggests much greater antiquity to the spicing of foods than previously thought within a hunter-gatherer or ancient premise.
Garlic mustard a.k.a. Hedge garlic alliaria petiolata is an inconspicuous plant, found in clumps in the lighter forest, which belongs to the Brassicaceae family of plants. It is native to Europe, Western and Central Asia, and Northwestern Africa. The leaves, flowers, and fruit are of the species are all edible.
The fruit of plants from the genus Capsicum, members of the nightshade family, Solanaceae. The name comes from the Aztec language, Nahuati.
Lunch was good!
On our own we know that eating spicy foods activates en expulsion of mucus from the system, namely in the sinuses.
This is important cleaning, and many health theories such as Arnold Ehret, a Godfather to vegetable healing have been logically formed around mucus-lessness as the real code to staying healthy.
No pain no gain can be employed here, and one can do their own experiment with that. Eat a large number of strong peppers, and on the other side of the hurt, one will find that their system is clear.
Electrophysiological records in both peripheral and central nervous systems show that the primate sensory taste system is basically organized around two major clusters of fibers and their cortical projections.
Co-variations between the neural responses to various compounds were observed for sugars, on the one hand, and for tannic acids and alkaloids. Our human taste perception system is not essentially different from that of the other primates as far as the dichotomy allowing discrimination of noxious v.s. beneficial substances through taste; clearly in the case of hot peppers not so much, nor maybe in garlic, black pepper ginger or turmeric.
Interestingly we know that two of these hard-tasting miracles, turmeric, and black pepper, are more active together and this could be similar in hot peppers.
An increasing amount of evidence shows that animals such as insects, birds, and primates use plant parts with certain categorical compounds known as ‘secondary compounds’ to improve their comfort or their health.
The concept of self-medication now generally accepted in primates but also in other vertebrates was first proposed by D.H Janzen (1978), an ecologist at the University of Pennsylvania.
Liken to the spice, bitterness is normally suggested to represent a reliable signal of toxicity for animals and humans but a number of secondary compounds are bitter tasting (Saponins, Alkaloids, and some Sesquiterpenoids, Terpenoids and Steroid Glycosides) and many of these substances possess important pharmacological activity.
Garlic mustard produces a variety of helpful secondary compounds including flavonoids, defense proteins, glycosides,
Nutritionally Diverse, Spicy Lunch
glucosinolates, particularly Sinigrin, a breakdown product allyl- isothiocyanate (AITC) that reduce its palatability to herbivores.
The chili plant seed is broken down by humans and primates whose taste receptors are burned, but the bird’s digestive tract does not break down the seed nor does the bird spit it out, from any taste reaction because it does not have the primal dichotomy of dissemination as an obstruction to his interest in the seed.
The plant should be well propagated by the bird gardener members of a miraculous human-inspired permaculture somewhere.
Popular Science and many others have had a very difficult time deciphering the love of chili eating, but well recognized that many do love it, and to them, it’s a deep passion. Chili is still the word for the plant pepper as it was for the Mayans and the Aztecs who may have been the one who gave it that name.
“Acceptance of food depends not only on taste, but also on olfactory, tactile and visual signals, as well as memories of previous, similar experiences and social expectations. Food palatability and hedonic value therefore play central roles in nutrient intake. As a result, ancestral humans who liked spicy food—and therefore gained from its health benefits—might well have had longer, healthier lives and more offspring” (Nilius & Giovanni 2011)
Paul Sherman, a professor of neurobiology and behavior at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York has research that shows people in warmer regions of the world benefiting from eating spicier foods, because of the fiery peppers are natural antimicrobials.
Food-born pathogens and parasites are more populated in warmer climates, and spices can kill or inhibit their growth.
The spicy research presented in National Geographic (2005) sited that in the same region of Thailand one culture who eats blander foods, ( less spicy) does experience more diarrhea and infections.
Paul went on to find out that hotter cultures ate the hotter foods, and colder ones ate less spicey foods, interestingly the germ stopper is less popular where it is not needed, such as in cold climate places.
Albuquerque, nestled into the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, must be the exception.

HOT PEPPER EXPERIENCE
I am in the Caribbean right now, on an island in Panama known as Bocas del Toro, a great place for permaculture farming, where there are some famed hot sauces but it’s not necessarily somewhere I would send a firey food lover. Bocas sauce is hot, but not that hot, and it does have a mustard seed base. Barbados had some great hot stuff too.
There are a few hot sauces of weight here for sure and across Central and South America a few more. I have had some solid stuff, and there are surely some murderous hot peppers growing quite well here in the tropics, and proudly many types at our own small family farm.
HOT PEPPER DISCUSSION
Tough Guys Eat Spicy Food :
1932, the Soviet Union sent one of its best agents to China, a former schoolteacher and counter-espionage expert from Germany named Otto Braun.
His mission was to serve as a military adviser to the Chinese Communists, who were engaged in a desperate battle for survival against Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalists.
The tale of Braun’s adventures in the Chinese Communist revolution is packed with enough twists and turns for a big-screen thriller. In the clutch of culinary history, one quote from Braun’s autobiography recalls his first impressions of Mao Zedong, the man who would soon go on to become China’s Emperor.
“The food of the true revolutionary is the red pepper,” declared Mao. “And he who cannot endure red peppers is also unable to fight.”
I love this story, and I believe the quote is accurate. I don’t let the young men around me off easy for eating a bland plate of food, and I will have my own hot something with me, even if their household is unprepared, always. “Real Tough Guys Eat Spicy Food,” is one of the things they may hear me say.
I know, coming from Albuquerque New Mexico, where we love our Green Chili more than our … it’s a long-lasting positive relationship that never goes bad.
I thought for the longest time there would be no way I could ever live without the stuff. It really was that important to me, I am close to finding some imports or doing a dedicated climate control space to grow some of my own here but sadly at this time I miss her.
I am able to find a few good hot peppers here in Panama though.
Science now finds connections to neurological and hormonal endorphin releases in the hot peppers as well as other reactions that affect our happiness and our senses in life.
The NAUTILUS company published an article last year (Andrew Leonard 2016) entitled “Why Revolutionaries Love Spicy Food,” which explains basically that firey people like firey food, and that there is a link between the chili pepper and risk-taking.
Christopher Columbus on Jan. 1, 1493, recorded in his diary, his discovery of the chili pepper, on the Caribbean isla of Hispaniola,“the pepper which the local Indians used as spice is more abundant and more valuable than either black or melegueta pepper [an African spice from the ginger family].”
A Sichuanese folk saying goes: “Spicy peppers are the meat of poor guys.” Sichuan people an already hot eating people were the main group that adopted the chili pepper significantly when Columbus first imported it to Europe and Asia. Poor guys are usually tougher guys.
The chili pepper plant is a strong grower, easy to cultivate, productive crop. High in A, B, and C’s vitamin spread of nutrition, sure to keep the body and immune system tough and ready.
Shark’s Fin and Sichuan Pepper, y Fuchsia Dunlop, an author of Chinese cookbooks, says that the region’s passion for spice is explained by the intersection between climate and traditional Chinese medicine: “In terms of Chinese medicine, the body is an energetic system, in which damp and dry, cold and hot, yin and yang, must be balanced.”
In the mid-70’s a study of the pepper craze in Oaxaca, Senior Rozin of the University of Pennsylvania determined that the act of eating chili peppers is an acquired taste in Mexico.
Children do not come out of the womb craving a scorching hot cuisine. They’re encouraged, by their families, to handle the chili’s burn with small doses that gradually increase.
In describing the variance between heavy hitter hot mouths and the light roaster, Rozin came up with a theory he called “benign masochism.” A certain type of person, he theorized, was lured to the burn, the same kind of person, he suggested, who might be drawn to other “sensation-seeking” activities.
Surprising amounts of sources word the chili peppers effect by saying the chili gives a mild ‘high.’
During the Sino-Japanese War between 1937-1945, of the 1,052 generals and marshals who served in the early ranks of the People’s Liberation Army, a whopping 82 percent hailed from China’s four spiciest provinces is pointed out by an essay from Hongjie Wang, an associate professor of history at Armstrong State University in Georgia.
Wang specializes in Sichuan culture, and in his essay, “Hot Peppers, Sichuan Cuisine and the Revolutions in Modern China,” he writes of one contemporary Chinese cultural observer who called Sichuan’s inherent “potential for rebellion, so beautiful and marvelous.” In 1911, according to Wang, a protest against “imperialist” control of newly constructed railroads in Sichuan triggered national unrest that ultimately led to the fall of the Qing Dynasty.
One could make the case that Sichuanese hot tempers set in motion the entire process of China’s modern political development. Anecdotal in the language of Sichuan, Wang scribes, “eating spicy food has come to be regarded as an indication of such personal characteristics as courage, valor, and endurance, all essential for a potential revolutionary.”
In a cultural list of the spiciest food geography, the “Spicy Quest” came up with the following red zones:
- South Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Polynesian SE Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei),
- Buddhist SE Asia (Thailand, Laos, Burma, Vietnam),
- Himalayas (Bhutan, Nepal, Sikkim, Tibet?),
- China (Sichaun and Hunan provinces),
- Indigenous South America (Bolivia, Ecuador, Amazon),
- American Desert (US Southeast, New Mexico, Mexico),
- Korea Peninsula Sphere (Korean regions in China, Korea, and Russia, nearby Japanese and Chinese islands),
- East Mediterranean (Syria, Lebanon),
- Southern Africa (South Africa, Mozambique), Balkans, North Africa (Tunisia),
- West Africa (Guinea, Cameroon, Nigeria, Senegal, Liberia),
- and the Caribbean (Trinidad, Jamaica).
A hot food eater identity is reasonably a daring individual who may like pain. Personality types class in the risk-taking, nomads on the move who can carry a cheap and easy-to-grow option for adding flavor to a constrained diet. Or they are from a hot and humid climate, where microorganisms grow, or strongly favoring a yin and yang medical philosophy.
The reasoning I like the best is those that believe the hot pepper is a source of courage and energy and makes them tough.
Certain indications point to fiery citrus combinations as being powerful pre-workout employs. This is not an advised combination for those building their tolerance to spicy food, but for advanced practitioners.
I can testify to you that real tough guys eat spicy food, that chili peppers are muscle food, and healthy food and that my people have bee eating and growing this food right where I was born and raised, under the red skies. 100% 505, (Hatch) is something I am very proud of, and what every Albuquerque born stud can tell you, is we love our Green Chili – and we love it so much that we will fight about it. 😀

In a video of the pop song “La Mei zi” by Hunanese singer Song Zuying, who lives in a firey foods culture in Asia, is seen surrounded in scores of young, red-clad Chinese women frolicking amid a harvest of heaps of chili peppers, as Song Zuying sings:
