Toothpick weed for asthma and obesity
Watch any reality TV show, and you’ll notice obese characters portrayed eating continuously. One such program on Discovery Health recently, interviewed a teenage boy who struggled with obesity and diabetes his whole life.
Meanwhile, his brothers who lived in the same household, eating the same food, remained thin. Even so, the boy revealed that he had occasionally consumed an entire pizza on his own.
As a parent with teens, such eating behavior is not unusual and does not lead directly to obesity. I have two whole milk drinking, chip consuming, pizza eating teens without weight issues.
Something is going on besides a simple in / out equation.
This becomes almost certain when allergy medication, typically used for rhinitis (seasonal allergies) and asthma, turns out to help people lose weight and curb diabetes.
A common medication, cromolyn, stabilizes mast cell activity and prevent allergic reactions has been shown to resolve obesity and diabetes. According to an NIH study, “Mice fed a healthy diet improved moderately, while those given either cromolyn or Zaditor (ketotifen fumarate) showed dramatic improvements. But mice given the drug and switched to a healthy diet showed nearly 100 percent recovery in all areas.”
Cromolyn, a drug derived from the plant Ammi visnaga, originates in the Mediterranean area, but can be grown nearly anywhere. The common name, toothpickweed, is a member of the carrot family.
Cromolyn and Ammi visnaga suppress the mast cell action. Since this decreases fat storage and diabetes, then something must be going on in the intestines and causing the body to freak out.
