Why the Belly of the Pumpkin is So
Good For You!
Pumpkin Seeds - or Cucurbita Seeds are full of nutrients!
. . .
.
. . such as protein, fiber, iron, copper, magnesium,
manganese, and phosphorous, as well as the amino acids
arginine and glutamic acid. They also contain calcium,
potassium, zinc, selenium, folate, and niacin. And they are
also a source of linolenic acid (which is believed to help
prevent hardening of the arteries).

Here are some of the things that munching on a small handful of seeds can
help with:
-
Calm an
irritated and overactive bladder occasionally associated with bedwetting
(Germany’s Commission E has approved using pumpkin seeds for bedwetting
and other bladder problems)
-
Get rid
of intestinal parasites (the ingredient cucurbitin in the seeds is
believed to paralyze the worms over time forcing them to lose their grip
and get expelled from the body)
-
Help with
symptoms of prostate enlargement (the use of these seeds for this
problem is traced back to Native American healers). A clinical trial
done using pumpkin seeds for BPH (Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy) showed
improvements in symptoms such as post-void dribbling, weak urine flow,
and time spent urinating in many of the participants. Fifty-three men
with BPH took part in this three-month, double-blind study completed in
1990.
You can get nutrients and benefits from pumpkin seeds in many forms, such
as:
- The
seed itself
-
Pumpkin seed oil
- Dried
herb
- Tea
You can buy
the seeds in health food stores either in the shell or already shelled. And
you can get them raw or roasted.
The oil is wonderful, we get ours from Donna Gates (author "Body Ecology
Diet"). Like most oils, it goes rancid so you do need to keep it
refrigerated.
Here’s a great recipe for getting rid of those parasites and worms:
- Make an emulsion by grinding up the seeds, mixing them with some
sugar (or honey) and some milk (or water)
- Sip this mixture in three daily doses, ingesting a total of about 2
ounces of the emulsion.
- Alternatively, make a tea with the ground seeds by infusing them in
hot water; allow the brew to cool slightly before straining and sipping.
Don’t take more than 16 ounces at one time.
Here's a tip
for men who are interested in good prostate health
-
preventing enlargement, or even helping your treatment along: chew a
handful of these seeds every day!
Make them in
an easy and delicious way at home - from your own pumpkins! Harvest the
seeds yourself from your fresh pumpkins or other squash as well. You then
roast them slowly on an oiled baking sheet in a 250 degree oven until crisp.

Frazzled
Housewife
Wear your
hair in rollers, put on a green facial mask or green face paint, wear
pajamas, black socks, ratty slippers and a dirty bathrobe tied cock-eyed.
Put a TV Guide and a remote in your pocket, carry a crusty spatula, optional
cigarette hanging out of mouth, use brown eye shadow under your eyes to make
bags.
Instant Old
- Apply
base make-up all over face and neck.
-
"Scrunch" up your face first to emphasize your "natural" wrinkles, and
apply make-up that is lighter than your natural skin-tone (work on a
small a great a time for best results). Then "de-scrunch" and fill in
the creases using a soft brown eye-liner pencil.
-
Create sunken cheeks by darkening the cheek hollows. Emphasize the
creases around your nose, and darken along your jaw line.
-
Create crows feet by your eyes.
-
Pucker up your lips to create wrinkles around your mouth.
- Add
liver spots, broken capillaries, etc.
Blend
everything with a make-up sponge. If you use make-up with a small amount of
yellow added, you'll get a more realistic look. Use the same techniques on
your hands for more realism. When you are all done, power allover with baby
powder to set make-up and give a dry skin appearance. You can also use baby
powder to make your hair look gray.
