[What is Phytosterol?]

Phytosterols are compounds found in plants that resemble cholesterol. The National Institutes of Heath report that there are over 200 different phytosterols, and the highest concentrations of phytosterols are found naturally in vegetable oils, beans and nuts. Their benefits are so recognized that foods are being fortified with phytosterols. At the supermarket, you may see orange juice or margarine advertising phytosterol contents. After reviewing the health benefits, you may want to add phytosterol-rich foods to your diet.

[Benefits]

Cholesterol-Lowering Benefits

The most well-known, and scientifically proven, benefit of phytosterols is their ability to help lower cholesterol. A phytosterol is a plant compound that is similar to cholesterol. A study in the 2002 issue of “Annual Review of Nutrition” explains that phytosterols actually compete for absorption with cholesterol in the digestive tract. While they prevent the absorption of regular dietary cholesterol, they themselves are not easily absorbed, which leads to a total lower cholesterol level. The cholesterol-lowering benefit does not end with a good number on your blood work report. Having lower cholesterol leads to other benefits, such as a reduced risk for heart disease, stroke and heart attacks.

Cancer Protection Benefits

Phytosterols have also been found to help protect against the development of cancer. The July 2009 issue of the” European Journal of Clinical Nutrition” offers encouraging news in the fight against cancer. Researchers at the University of Manitoba in Canada report that there is evidence that phytosterols help prevent ovarian, breast, stomach and lung cancer. Phytosterols do this by preventing the production of cancer cells, stopping the growth and spread of cells that are already in existence and actually encouraging the death of cancer cells. Their high anti-oxidant levels are believed to be one way phytosterols help fight cancer. An anti-oxidant is a compound that fights free radical damage, which is negative effects on the body produced by cells that are unhealthy.

Skin Protection Benefits

A lesser known benefit of phytosterols involves skin care. One of the contributing factors in the aging of the skin is the breakdown and loss of collagen — the main component in connective skin tissue — and sun exposure is a major contributor to the problem. As the body ages, it is not able to produce collagen as it once did. The German medical journal “Der Hautarzt” reports a study in which various topical preparations were tested on skin for 10 days. The topical treatment that showed anti-aging benefits to the skin was the one that contained phytosterols and other natural fats. It is reported that phytosterols not only stopped the slow-down of collagen production that can be caused by the sun, it actually encouraged new collagen production.

Hi, I’m Dr. Ahuva Gamliel, a Naturopathic Physician and Licensed Acupuncturist. Today, our topic is how to use pumpkin seed oil for worms. So, how pumpkin seed oil is used is you take one tablespoon in the morning on an empty stomach and I’m going to use this handy dandy little child’s dispenser because it’s easy to measure and less of a mess for me. Ohh, I got much more than a tablespoon and I’ve actually never tried this, but it smells kind of nutty and I’m up for an adventure so I’m going to actually taste this. I’m going to take; let’s see, I filled this up almost two tablespoons; so, I’m going to take half of it, more or less, then I’ll save the other half for later. So, so here we go. Hmm, I took almost all of it; you know, it kind of tastes like flaxseed oil, it’s nutty, it probably wouldn’t even be bad as a salad dressing or part of a salad dressing. And so, for the therapeutic use, you would take another dose two hours later and then two hours after that, you follow the pumpkin seed oil dose with the dose of castor oil, which I’m not going to take because castor oil is a very strong laxative. And so what this does is it paralyzes the intestinal worms. It makes them immobile, so they can no longer hold onto the intestinal walls and then the castor oil helps you to eliminate the bowel so they come out. You have various different treatment options; the pumpkin seed oil is natural safe and effective and it really doesn’t even taste bad. So, I’m Ahuva Gamliel, a Naturopathic Doctor here at MiBaSo in sunny Miami Beach, Florida and thank you for watching.
