Curing with Cinnamon

Southeast Asia is known for its cinnamon. Back in the day the uses for Cinnamon were quite popular. From treating a variety of ailments like kidney, liver and hearing problems, to keeping meat from spoiling, and cinnamon aids in the keeping diseases from spreading due to its antibacterial properties.

Today Cinnamon is used for weight control and Type II diabetes. The Bellville Nutrition Center is under the auspices of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. Their 2003 study found that cinnamon lowered glucose, triglycerides and LDL cholosterol, and improved diabetes problems.

The department also found that it helped with insect problems. As an additional bonus the deparment found that even after the experiment was over, all the befencial effects continued for 20 more days. A professor of nutrition at the Public School of Nutrition at the Harvard school of Public Health was amazed at the long-lasting results. Dr. Anderson of the US Dept of Agriculture said, "Cinnamon makes cells more sensitive to insulin."

Cinnamon contains sulphur, the seventh mose prevalent substance in human's and dog's bodies. Dogs love cinnamon. Fleas, ticks, flies and mosquitoes hate sulphur.

In 2004, the people found that if they sprinkled cinnamon around the island, it killed mosquito larvae more effectively tha
DEET,(a common pesticide.) On July, 2004 a recommendation was made by the Agriculture and Food Chemistry Dept. in Taiwan to use cinnamon to repel insects. Yet, if the dogs found the cinnamon and ate it, it wouldn't hurt them. Dogs love cinnamon.
