Increasing modern complexity, increasing disease complexity!

Is it even a surprise that Type 5 Diabetes is now being formally recognized as the 3rd type of Diabetes in Humans?

And you thought there were only 2 Types didn't you! 😇

In the research field, even more are known. They shall be 'formally' recognized with rising cases; hopefully it doesn't!

We try to learn enough to try to stay one ahead, and attempt to prevent them!

Our series of Diabetes related update is about to end!
But not before we highlight that there are now more types of Diabetes than before.

This is why we take extra steps to better learn prevention of brand new upcoming modern diseases,
by visiting remote Himalayan villages that are still devoid of these side-effects of modern lifestyle!

All the Best!!

Berberis aristata, also known as Indian barberry is native to the Himalayas.

The root bark contains the bitter alkaloid berberine, which has been studied for its potential pharmacological properties. Can be used to treat many diseases, such as cancer and digestive, metabolic, cardiovascular, neurological diseases, etc (please see references).

The fruits of the species are eaten by people living in areas where the plant is found, often as a dessert. They are juicy and contain plenty of sugars and other useful nutrients that supplement their diet.

We are in touch with local & native remote high altitude farmers and their community who are seeking new buyers and new markets! Should there be any commercial interest, please contact us and we shall connect you DIRECTLY to the remote locals!

Everyone knows "You ONLY Live Once"!

But why get a new type of disease, never seen before, un-treatable; hopefully not named after the unfortunate person!

Like Type 4 Diabetes. Not Type 1, not Type 2, & not Type 3 like in our previous post!

AND THIS IS NOT EVEN THE CRAZIEST PART!

This is still in animal models, not in human... YET.
As soon as this appears in lots of humans, a magic drug/pill be ready to sell to you!

There are no magic silver bullet solutions to prevent them!
But we do try, we vacation in remote Himalayan villages to learn more;
where people are known for astonishing health & even youth in their later years!

All the Best!!

We have started shipping Rajma Dal, also known as Kidney Beans.
Naturally cultivated, from high altitude Chamba villages.
No chemical fertilizers or chemical sprays.

Sourced from icy villages, these Rajma grow slow, accumulate for nutrients from the soil enriched by mineral rich spring water. The higher and better nutrient profile is reflected in it's distinct rich and royale taste.

Treat yourself with high altitude Rajmas coming from the remote villages in the Himalayan district of Chamba, India, known for a very healthy population. Prepared with onion, garlic and just a few basic spices and authentic (sea) salt. Combined with fresh rice, enjoy a nourishing and ravishing desi Rajma Chawal!

Message us for further details!

Living in the 21st century, The Future, has it's advantages.
So many problems are solved and literally imperceptible!

How about some risks that accompany the benefits?

A wise man once said/wrote: "There are no solutions, only trade-offs" [Guess who?]

In our latest video series centered around 'preventive healthcare',
we show new forms of ancient diseases that are sadly becoming more popular.

They are new, so expecting a cure so soon is unlikely.
So, we strive to learn these better and hope to prevent them!

Walnuts from ice peaks, last batch. Sellout soon!! & as always special discounts for our first few repeat customers 😇.

Our Walnuts were very well received! 98% satisfaction, a separate post/video on the interesting 2% later!

Linoleic acid, plays a vital role in maintaining health, particularly in heart health and skin function, is an essential omega-6 fatty acid. The body cannot produce and must obtain from the diet.

Our Walnuts are coming from around 7000 to nearly 10000 feet above sea level.

And research (linked below) shows that changing growing altitude from 1600ft to 4000ft increases the levels of key nutrients for the human body by a lot.

Our's is growing at double the altitude, but at reasonable price, with pan India home delivery!

While we don't have any titration/Mass Spec based quantification yet, we do have a former Mass Spec expert/ex-scientist in our core team, the long distance running bro; and ofcourse he uses this!

Message us directly should you like to order!

Rise of extreme version of Diabetes, earlier in life is directly leading to developmental defects in the next generation!

Worse than inheriting debt? We hope we are wrong!

That's why we travel to places where food, habits, rituals, culture and lifestyle has managed to keep such aggressive modern diseases in check! All the Best!!

There are more ways to get the same disease in our modern world. So we travel to places where is this not the case!

There are ancient remedies.
Our Author comments the modern origin of many classical diseases are different in our times. So, while treatment has modernized, the spectrum of measures to aid prevention of the disease has not kept pace!
