Emu oil may be weapon in bowel cancer fight

Cathy O’Leary Medical Editor - The West Australian on July 6, 2016, 12:40 am

Emu oil could help to ward off bowel cancer, according to results from landmark WA research.

University of WA researcher Suzanne Mashtoub said the results suggested taking emu oil capsules could protect people with bowel diseases from developing tumours.

While it was premature to recommend people take emu oil to prevent or treat bowel cancer, the results were promising.

The National Health and Medical Research Council post-doctoral research fellow used a Cancer Council WA grant to study the effects of emu oil sourced from South Australia.

Professor Gordon Howarth from the University of Adelaide with UWA emu oil researcher Dr Suzanne Mashtoub.

Dr Mashtoub was prompted to do the animal study because of the anti-inflammatory effects from emu oil used on the skin.

“My aim was to investigate whether emu oil could reduce inflammation and repair damage in the bowel caused by ulcerative colitis, and monitor if we could prevent the development of bowel cancer,” she said.

The study found emu oil helped prevent weight loss, which could be useful for bowel cancer patients, and appeared to protect the intestine from inflammation.

Dr Mashtoub said while emu oil did not prevent tumours, those that developed were smaller.

Researchers will now focus on the most effective dosage and frequency of treatment.

Terry Slevin from Cancer Council WA said it was early research and people should not take emu oil believing it would stop them getting bowel cancer.

Using Emu Oil for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The syndrome occurs when the tendons in the wrist become inflamed after some type of aggravation such as typing or writing. These tendons pass between the bones and ligaments of the palm of the hand in a constricted area calleda tunnel. Treatment includes resting the hands using splints. Oral and injected anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen are also common treatments.

Emu oil products are also used to alleviate excruciating nerve pain. There has been reported relief from carpal tunnel syndrome including the burning and tingling numbness in the fingers.

Emu oil may act in an anti-inflammatory manner to relieve the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome similar to oral anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin and Motrin. Vitamins B6 and B2 can be taken for 3 months at a daily dose of 300 mg for each vitamin. These should be taken in 100 mg. doses at each meal. If, after a trial of 3 months there is no benefit from the use of emu oil and the B vitamins, you should seek other therapies since permanent nerve damage may occur in some people.

"My husband works at a simple retail store, but he does everything from customer service to stocking and such. He complains about joint and foot pain when he gets home. We've tried different products, even stuff from Melaleuca, which used to be my go-to product. It still works a bit, but I decided to try this and my husband enjoys it a lot more."

"Not all Emu Oil is created equal. Years ago I actually spent months finding this Emu Oil and bought a gallon of it when I did. If you have pets, it heals hot spots and lick granilomas,; it is the best moisturizer; it heals fire ant bites instantly; any bite or wound it will heal. And it only takes a small amount to do it. I don't have enough space here to tell you all the miracles Emu Oil has done for me, my friends and family. You won't be able to live without it."         ~ Mary P. from Sherman, TX 

 

"I had been struggling with eczema on my hands for months. Tried hydrocortisone and other prescription medicines which only provided temporary relief. I felt immediate relief with the Derma Ease and the eczema is all but gone within a week. It's a great product. I am telling everyone that I can about it."

"I am am an avid lip balm user, all day long. I have bought all drug store brands and thought a few were good but then my wife discovered the Longview Farm lip balm, along with several of your other products, which are now staples in our household! The lip balm melts on your lips without becoming liquid in your pocket. I highly recommend this product based on quality, price and service." ~Anonymous from Charleston, TN

~Anonymous from USA

 "I am 72 and pain just goes with the age, but to I decided to try the oil, the cream has aloe in it and I am allergic. Trying to change the sheets on my bed is usually an all day pain, work a bit, rest my back, work, etc. Today I tried the oil for the first time on the hip and back where it hurts and it stopped the pain instantly! Later I tried it on my feet, after shopping my toes cramp. Again the same! Instant relief! Thank you so very much! I will recommend this to everyone who ever had pain."

Mosquito Bites

Emu Oil for Mosquito Bites!

When you get bit by a mosquito, the itch  is caused by the mosquito's saliva which is an anticoagulant. It causes our bodies to produce a histamine response, creating a slight itchiness around the bite area from a mild allergic reaction. The worst thing you can do is scratch the itchy are. It may feel good, but it will make the bite worse. 

Did you know Emu Oil can help to relieve symptoms of the bite? Emu Oil takes the sting out of insect bites. Mosquito bites cause damage to the skin and inflame the tissue. Since Emu Oil is an all-natural anti-inflammatory, it begins to soothe the skin the minute it is applies.

This summer before you get your camping gear packed up make sure to pack a bottle of  LongviewFarms Emu Oil.

Emu Oil For Hair Loss.

     Hair loss is not something we like to see when we look in the mirror. Many of us wonder, “why is this happening to me?”  According to experts, hair loss can be caused by many things such as aging, hormones changes and family history of baldness.

       “In men, testosterone is converted to DHT (dihydratestosterone) within the hair follicle. Testosterone is converted to DHT by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase, which is produced in the prostate, the scalp and various adrenal glands. Over time, DHT causes hair follicles to degrade and shortens their anagen, or active phase. Technically, the follicle is still alive and connected to a good blood supply. Some follicles will die, but most will simply shrink in size and produce weaker hairs. The shorter anagen growing cycle means more hairs are shed and remaining hairs become so thin that they cannot survive daily wear and tear, according to experts. Hairs in balding areas gradually change from long, thick, colored hairs into fine, unpigmented, fuzzy hairs.”  ~http://www.emu-oil.com/HairLoss.html

      

Many people wonder what can be done about hair loss. One thing that may work is Emu Oil.  If the hair follicles are dead there is nothing that can be done. If they are asleep, or in a dormant state, you can try Longview Farms Emu Oil to wake them up.



       We recommend massaging a small amount of emu oil into the hairless or thinning area of the scalp three times per day, if possible. In the evening or on weekends, apply a greater amount of emu oil to the scalp and leave on for 20-30 minutes, then wash hair with a mild shampoo or Longview Farms Emu Oil Shampoo. (Our Sponsor)  If your hair follicles are in a sleep state, you should notice signs of re-growth in 30-90 days. 

 Here is what some of our customers had to say:
“So far this has worked really great. The shampoo and condition are one of the best I've used...leaving my hair full and scalp feeling good. The oil is a little greasy on the scalp...but I've started growing back small hairs and peachfuzz on the top & front of my scalp. It helped re-activate my hair follicles. again.” ~ Ken from Romeoville, IL
“I must let you know, I have only been using the hair loss treatment a month and already I can see hair growing in a severely thin area...I am sooo happy...” ~ Paulette from CA
