Everyday, I speak to people and they ask me questions about things they've heard on social media or snippets they've been told that simply aren't true. At Magictree, we don't pick sides, we are not vegan, or alkaline, or anti big pharma, we're just about healing. Below are 10 myths, keeping you from unlocking the next stage of your results.
-
Apple Cyder Vinegar Is good for you – Whilst ACV does support weight loss, it also pickles the liver and causes your body to leach calcium from healthy bones and teeth to buffer the acids
-
Ashwagandha kills your emotions – there is only evidence of ashwagandha KM66 variant causing dulled emotions. Raw ashwagandha sticks do not isolate compounds to trigger adverse affects of that nature.
-
Diabetes is a lifelong condition – With diet and lifestyle and herbs like moringa and black seed oil to increase insulin sensitivity and nourish the liver, we often see diabetes reversed within a matter of months.
-
High Cholesterol requires statins – there are studies which show 4g of brazil nuts lower cholesterol by 20 points in 1 day and they are also more effective than statins reducing the risk of diabetes rather than statins which increase it.
-
Shilajit is not good for women – Shilajit stabilises hormones rather than blindly raising testosterone or estrogen, for the same reasons it is great for men, it is also great for women
-
Dong Quai is a phytoestrogen – Dong Quai is not fully understood in the western world but it is an estrogen stabiliser rather than a phytoestrogen. That is why it supports fibroids and endometriosis.
-
Chlorella is good for heavy metals – Chlorella is a poor binder, and when it does pick up toxins, it can’t hang on and deposits those toxins in nearby tissues. Spirulina Is a much better choice.
-
Fruit sugar is the same as sugar from sweets – the idea that all sugar, from fiber to dextrose is the same has become popularised, but it is not true. Fruit sugar is wrapped in polyphenols and is processed differently by the body and does not ferment the same due to its ash mineral content.
-
Fruit is bad for diabetes – Fruit is essential in healing diabetes. Do not juice or blend your fruit, eat it whole and eat it alongside root vegetable carbohydrates to nourish your liver with a glucose source it wants and can use.
-
Lions mane is best with coffee – Lions mane is best consumed with other apoptogenic herbs like Brahmi or ashwagandha. Rather than lions mane offsetting the negative effects of caffeine you should think of it as caffeine offsetting the positive effects of lions mane.
