"Product Description




The Timeless serum collection contains high concentrations of hyaluronic acid and matrixyl that you won't find anywhere else. All natural and paraben free, we don't use excess ingredients to make up for the lack of actives. We like to keep it simple and effective.

This product contains:

Matrixyl 3000 - major wrinkle fighting ingredient used as an alternative to Retin A. Increases collagen synthesis up to 350%! We use an 8% concentration for maximum results.

Hyaluronic Acid - one of the most powerful hydrating and moisturizing ingredients on the market today. Holds up to 1000 times its weight in water! And as always, we use a higher concentration of HA than any other seller. This serum contains 1% HA, or about 2x the amount of HA contained in others 60% concoctions. "

if this stuff actually works, it may be a great addition to the NBE medicine box for increased collogen...

more research needed.

beware of your toothpaste!

in my just for giggles thread, I had posted an actual article about toothpaste and larger nipples.. being the curious little squirrel I am, I decided to see if there was ANYTHING about toothpaste that can actually be an endocrine disruptor.. scary what I found:

Original article in just for giggles thread:
https://www.funadvice.com/q/how_will_too...ur_nipples

What toothpaste contains (actual endocrine disruptor): Triclosan
about triclosan (See also the bit about food allergies).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triclosan

link purporting that colgate is an endocrine disruptor, due to triclosan:
http://vaccineliberationarmy.com/2014/08...t-warning/

other supporting websites on triclosan as endocrine disruptor:
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/276700.php

http://ecowatch.com/2013/11/24/fda-remov...san-soaps/

A quick search on Amazon for Triclosan revealed these items :
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=TRICLOSAn&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3ATRICLOSAn

SO, in essence, what I thought was a joke.. is actually possible? if toothpaste applied to nipples, may actually make them bigger.. though I am sure it would take months and months of applications to see any changes, if any at all.

interesting article to read:

https://propelsteps.wordpress.com/tag/sulphites/


Note: it is PRETTY SCARY to see how much of this stuff is acceptable and is in EVERYTHING>.... a Must Read!

amongst all the other vital and interesting info: this stood out , particularly due to NBE :

Soy
Contains several naturally occurring compounds that are toxic to humans and animals. Soy foods block calcium and can cause vitamin D deficiencies. One health agency estimates than 100 grams of soy protein provides the estrogenic equivalent of the pill. Processing and all modern soy foods contain MSG, which cause neurological problems. Soy products inhibit thyroid function, which may lead to fatigue and mental issues. Infants on soy formula are vulnerable to developing autoimmune thyroid disease when exposed to high amounts of isoflavones over time. These Isoflavones have been found to have serious health effects, including infertility, thyroid disease or liver disease, on a number of mammals. Long term feeding with soy formulas inhibits thyroid peroxidase to such an extent that long term elevated thyroid stimulating hormone levels can also raise the risk of thyroid cancer. It is said that two glasses of soy milk a day over the course of a month contains enough of the chemical to change the timing of a woman’s menstrual cycle. Only eat soy if it has been fermented: such as soy, misu and tamari and if it is labeled as organic or non-GMO.

Spotlight on :

Myrrh

when one thinks of Myrrh, we often think of the wise kings that brought frankincense and Myrrh to baby jesus. or, an incense being burned in churches, or by some pagan rituals...
however, being steeped in its history, myrrh has many great medicinal properties:

http://gentleworld.org/magical-and-medic...and-myrrh/
Frankincense and myrrh are from the same plant family (Burseraceae)

Health Benefits: Anti-septic, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory, anti-depressant, anti-microbial and anti-viral, astringent, expectorant, stimulant, carminative, stomachic, anti catarrhal, diaphoretic, vulnerary, anti-spasmodic, immune booster, improves circulation, body tonic.
Uses:
works as a sedative, for spiritual opening, stimulating thought
◾heals wounds (essentially those of a ‘weeping’ nature), protects against infection and promotes healing
◾skin diseases (eczema, ringworm, etc.)
◾soothes cracked and chapped skin, fades scars and other spots
◾used during and before meditation to align energy centers and encourage healing
◾used in gum and mouth (ulcer) preparations
◾stimulates uterine health and helps to normalize menstruation, relieves contractions or spasms (cramps, aches etc.)
◾relieves gas and diarrhea, improves stomach health, treats pyorrhea

◾protects against coughs and colds (viral infections), provides relief from mucus and phlegm, eases congestion, breathing trouble, etc.
◾works as a fungicide
◾stimulates blood circulation, digestion and nerves, increases sweat to purify body
◾And more!
Words of Caution: Myrrh oil can have toxic effects if used in excess. It should be avoided during pregnancy due to its stimulating nature.

What interested me, was that one breast enhancement cream (listed in separate post, claims that myrrh helps increase fat (more research needed)

[tanysquirrel]

since I worked on myrrh, now I turn to frankincense :
Boswellia sacra essential oil induces tumor cell-specific apoptosis and suppresses tumor aggressiveness in cultured human breast cancer cells
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22171782/

purported to shrink breast tumor cells. (multiple sources cite same claim).

more research needed.

Yarrow

so as I was perusing amazon for breast creams in particular to decipher their ingredients for research on each component ingredient. I found that yarrow helps the lymphatic system, and since the lactiferous ducts (milk ducts) are part of that system, that this herb may help in NBE

this is the product I found with that ingredient :
https://www.amazon.com/Living-Libations-Organic-Wildcrafted-Massage/dp/B01F1C6DRK/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1470591108&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=yarrow+breast+cream

"Breast Massage With Breast Massage Oil Is A Regenerative Practice To Stimulate Circulation + Lymph Drainage. Cypress, Yarrow & Laurel Oils Generate The Movement Of The Fluid That Removes Toxins & Supplies Fresh Nutrition To The Cells"

Apigenin

https://www.amazon.com/Swanson-Apigenin-50-90-Caps/dp/B001TEIJIQ/ref=pd_sim_121_5?ie=UTF8&dpID=516dELHaViL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&psc=1&refRID=285Y2AYTTX9E3JZ54EFN

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apigenin

"Apigenin shows second-order positive modulatory activity at GABAA receptors.....Through effects on cell signaling, inflammation, cell cycle, and protease production, apigenin has demonstrated effectiveness against a wide range of cancer types, while not showing toxicity to normal cells"

however, it inhibits : CYP2C9
CYP2C9 is an important cytochrome P450 enzyme with a major role in the oxidation of both xenobiotic and endogenous compounds. CYP2C9 makes up about 18% of the cytochrome P450 protein in liver microsomes (data only for antifungal). Some 100 therapeutic drugs are metabolized by CYP2C9, including drugs with a narrow therapeutic index such as warfarin and phenytoin and other routinely prescribed drugs such as acenocoumarol, tolbutamide, losartan, glipizide, and some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. By contrast, the known extrahepatic CYP2C9 often metabolizes important endogenous compound such as 5-hydroxytryptamine and, owing to its epoxygenase activity, various polyunsaturated fatty acids, converting these fatty acids to a wide range of biological active products

not sure what to make of this so far, but more research is needed.

lice shampoo- the hidden breast growth side effect for men??(gynecomastia)

http://www.greenmedinfo.com/article/epid...n-exposure

OBJECTIVE: To investigate an observed epidemic of gynecomastia among Haitian refugees in US detention centers in 1981 and 1982.
METHODS: All identifiable environmental exposures were investigated for estrogenic and antiandrogenic activity.
RESULTS: A high incidence of gynecomastia was observed among Haitian refugees in five detention centers in the United States. Of 284 men screened, 20 (from 18 to 53 years old) demonstrated new-onset gynecomastia (Tanner stages 2 to 5) in June 1982. The mean onset of gynecomastia was 130 +/- 12 days after arrival in the United States. Other symptoms included loss of libido (in all 20 patients) and decreased beard growth (in 10). Plasma concentrations of luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, prolactin, testosterone, and estradiol were not significantly different from those in 20 age-matched control subjects. Environmental substances, including tap water and the delousing agents Kwell shampoo and R&C Spray (applied to bedding and clothing), were tested for estrogenicity and androgenicity. None of these substances bound to cytosol estrogen receptors. The delousing agents were assayed for androgen binding by using genital skin fibroblasts. R&C Spray competed equally with testosterone for androgen-binding sites. Phenothrin, the "multi-cide" component of R&C Spray, reproduced this competitive binding result. When tested for antiandrogenic effects on prostate growth by using immature male rats treated with testosterone-filled Silastic capsules, phenothrin antagonized androgen action, as demonstrated by decreased prostate weights.
CONCLUSION: The antiandrogenic activity of phenothrin may explain this unusual epidemic of gynecomastia.

oddly enough, it can still be purchased on amazon:

Galanin - fat storage -neuropeptide

foods that increase chest fat:
http://ezinearticles.com/?Foods-That-Cause-Your-Body-to-Store-Chest-Fat-and-Cause-Pseudogynecomastia&id=2715830

Many of these foods are present in more than one of the oestrogen-containing group. Foods containing saponins, for example, are thought to interact with the hypothalamus and the pituitary hormones which explain the link between chest fat and oestrogens and the acid/alkaline balance in food. The nerve control for controlling appetite and many other metabolic functions is the hypothalamus. Neurotransmitters, or chemical messengers, are sent out from the hypothalamus to tell you when to eat, how much and, more importantly, what to eat.

One of these neurotransmitters is serotonin which regulates food cravings and your appetite. Another is galanin which affects fat storage: the more galanin your bodies make, the greater amount of fat we store in our bodies, including chest fat. Foods need to be properly broken down in the stomach by the hydrochloric acid there to prevent these problems of acidic food. Where acid waste remains in the body systems, it eventually results in the thyroid gland becoming under-active. This, in turn, affects our body's metabolism and can result in weight gain.

galanin:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galanin
" Galanin has been implicated in many biologically diverse functions, including: nociception, waking and sleep regulation, cognition, feeding, regulation of mood, regulation of blood pressure, it also has roles in development as well as acting as a trophic factor(growth factor)"

to note: when doing a search on foods that contain galanin, biotin comes up. further research needed.

Of interest, perhaps, if galanin can be introduced topically/transdermally, site application to increase breast fatty tissue might be enhanced, but only at the breast area vs belly and legs and such?? is this what in essence volufiline and voluplus are doing via the nutmeg oils?
