Over the years, we have been perfecting the blend that
helped digestive issues, heartburn, etc.
We started with Re-Member, which originally was for Alzheimer’s and ADD,
etc., to calm and focus the mind and it turned out to also be great to help the
other heater/fire chakra, the belly.
We have since come up with the blend that has done nothing
less than perform miracles on digestive issues, including, the story of someone
that had a mass show up on their pancreas in X Ray, and using this new formula,
dissolved it…yes, it is gone.
Of course, other things were done by the individual, eating
healthy, etc to assist in creating this healing circuit, but the blend
definitely went a long way to help. So
why?
What is that Blend?

The other day, I happened upon a youtube that talked about
using ‘Turpentine’ to heal the liver.
Guess what?
What she recommended was the turpentine you have to special
order and what is
So, I thought about that.
There are many terpenes of various types (see following info) that make
up essential oils.
Over the past 25 years, teaching about Frankincense, I often
hear people say: ‘That smells like turpentine!’….well yes, it does have terpenes.
And many other
healing chemical constituents, but we are focusing on just one aspect today.
First off, look at that word, ter-pene, or ter-pine.
What other essential oil has lots of terpenes? Pine, major constituent, L-Pinene.
Of course, that comes from pine oil and both produce sap
that are used.
So, we have the Pine Cone….which is a fractal.
It is also at the door of Vatican Court. Yes, a great big old pine cone. Why?
A fractal is self-replicating.
In mathematics a fractal is an abstract object used to
describe and simulate naturally occurring objects. Artificially created
fractals commonly exhibit similar patterns at increasingly small scales.[1] It
is also known as expanding symmetry or evolving symmetry. If the replication is
exactly the same at every scale, it is called a self-similar pattern. An
example of this is the Menger sponge.[2] Fractals can also be nearly the same
at different levels. This latter pattern is illustrated in small magnifications
of the Mandelbrot set] Fractals also include the idea of a detailed pattern
that repeats itself
Now to this, let us
add the ‘PINE-AL’ GLAND. Remember, EL or
AL, is Gd of the Old Testament and is either the root or suffix to many words,
like EL-e-ment or AL-Chem-y. El Shaddai,
or Ang-EL. EL-ect, etc.
The pineal gland is a small, pinecone shaped gland of the endocrine system. A structure of the
diencephalon of the brain, the pineal gland produces the hormone melatonin.
Melatonin influences sexual development and sleep-wake cycles. The pineal gland
is composed of cells called pinealocytes and cells of the nervous system called
glial cells. The pineal gland connects the endocrine system with the nervous
system in that it converts nerve signals from the sympathetic system of
the peripheral nervous system into hormone signals.
Over time, calcium
deposits build-up in the pineal and its accumulation can lead to calcification
in the elderly.
Terpenes (/ˈtɜːrpiːn/) are a large and diverse class of organic
compounds, produced by a variety of plants, particularly conifers,[1] and by some
insects such as termites or swallowtail butterflies, which emit terpenes from
their osmeteria. They often have a strong odor and may protect the plants that
produce them by deterring herbivores and by attracting predators and parasites
of herbivores.[2][3] The difference between terpenes and terpenoids is that
terpenes are hydrocarbons, whereas terpenoids contain additional functional
groups.
They are the major components of resin, and of turpentine
produced from resin. The name "terpene" is derived from the word
"turpentine". In addition to their roles as end-products in many
organisms, terpenes are major biosynthetic building blocks within nearly every
living creature. Steroids, for example, are derivatives of the triterpene
squalene.
When terpenes are modified chemically, such as by oxidation
or rearrangement of the carbon skeleton, the resulting compounds are generally
referred to as terpenoids. Some authors will use the term terpene to include
all terpenoids. Terpenoids are also known as isoprenoids.
Terpenes and terpenoids are the primary constituents of the
essential oils of many types of medicinal plants and flowers. Essential oils
are used widely as fragrances in perfumery, and in medicine and alternative
medicines such as aromatherapy. Synthetic variations and derivatives of natural
terpenes and terpenoids also greatly expand the variety of aromas used in
perfumery and flavors used in food additives. Vitamin A is a terpenoid.
Higher amounts of terpenes are released by trees in warmer
weather, acting as a natural form of cloud seeding. The clouds reflect
sunlight, allowing the forest to regulate its temperature.[4] The aroma and
flavor of hops comes, in part, from sesquiterpenes (mainly alpha-humulene and
beta-caryophyllene), which affect beer quality.[5] Terpenes are also major
constituents of Cannabis sativa plants, which contain at least 120 identified
compounds.[6]
So, you see how complex this becomes? This is just one aspect of over 20 oils,
which the Happy Belly, mixed to perfection provides. For all stomach ailments, esophageal, Crohn's, Acid Reflux, heartburn, etc.
There is so much more to add to this, but we will save that
for another day, when we go deeper into what chemical constituents are and give
further explanations.

Isoprene
Terpenes are derived biosynthetically from units of
isoprene, which has the molecular formula C5H8. The basic molecular formula of
terpenes are multiples of that, (C5H8)n where n is the number of linked
isoprene units. This is called the biogenetic isoprene rule or the C5 rule. In
1953, the Croatian chemist Leopold Ružička discovered that the isoprene units may
be linked together "head to tail" to form linear chains or they may
be arranged to form rings.[7] One can consider the isoprene unit as one of
nature's common building blocks.
Isoprene itself does not undergo the building process, but
rather activated forms, isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP or also isopentenyl
diphosphate) and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP or also dimethylallyl
diphosphate), are the components in the biosynthetic pathway. IPP is formed
from acetyl-CoA via the intermediacy of mevalonic acid in the HMG-CoA reductase
pathway. An alternative, totally unrelated biosynthesis pathway of IPP is known
in some bacterial groups and the plastids of plants, the so-called
MEP(2-Methyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate)-pathway, which is initiated from
C5-sugars. In both pathways, IPP is isomerized to DMAPP by the enzyme
isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase.
Isopentenyl pyrophosphate
Dimethylallyl pyrophosphate
As chains of isoprene units are built up, the resulting
terpenes are classified sequentially by size as hemiterpenes, monoterpenes,
sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, sesterterpenes, triterpenes, and tetraterpenes.
Essentially, they are all synthesized by terpene synthase.
Second- or third-instar caterpillars of Papilio glaucus emit
terpenes from their osmeterium.
Terpenes may be classified by the number of isoprene units
in the molecule; a prefix in the name indicates the number of terpene units
needed to assemble the molecule.
Hemiterpenes consist of a single isoprene unit. Isoprene
itself is considered the only hemiterpene, but oxygen-containing derivatives
such as prenol and isovaleric acid are hemiterpenoids.
Monoterpenes consist of two isoprene units and have the
molecular formula C10H16. Examples of monoterpenes and monoterpenoids include
geraniol, terpineol (present in lilacs), limonene (present in citrus fruits),
myrcene (present in hops), linalool (present in lavender) or pinene (present in
pine trees).[8] Iridoids derive from monoterpenes.
Sesquiterpenes consist of three isoprene units and have the
molecular formula C15H24. Examples of sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpenoids
include humulene, farnesenes, farnesol. (The sesqui- prefix means one and a
half.)
Diterpenes are composed of four isoprene units and have the
molecular formula C20H32. They derive from geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate.
Examples of diterpenes and diterpenoids are cafestol, kahweol, cembrene and
taxadiene (precursor of taxol). Diterpenes also form the basis for biologically
important compounds such as retinol, retinal, and phytol.
Sesterterpenes, terpenes having 25 carbons and five isoprene
units, are rare relative to the other sizes. (The sester- prefix means half to
three, i.e. two and a half.) An example of a sesterterpenoid is
geranylfarnesol.
Triterpenes consist of six isoprene units and have the
molecular formula C30H48. The linear triterpene squalene, the major constituent
of shark liver oil, is derived from the reductive coupling of two molecules of
farnesyl pyrophosphate. Squalene is then processed biosynthetically to generate
either lanosterol or cycloartenol, the structural precursors to all the steroids.
Sesquarterpenes are composed of seven isoprene units and
have the molecular formula C35H56. Sesquarterpenes are typically microbial in
their origin. Examples of sesquarterpenoids are ferrugicadiol and
tetraprenylcurcumene.
Tetraterpenes contain eight isoprene units and have the
molecular formula C40H64. Biologically important tetraterpenoids include the
acyclic lycopene, the monocyclic gamma-carotene, and the bicyclic alpha- and
beta-carotenes.
Polyterpenes consist of long chains of many isoprene units.
Natural rubber consists of polyisoprene in which the double bonds are cis. Some
plants produce a polyisoprene with trans double bonds, known as gutta-percha.
Norisoprenoids, such as the C13-norisoprenoids 3-oxo-α-ionol
present in Muscat of Alexandria leaves and 7,8-dihydroionone derivatives, such
as megastigmane-3,9-diol and 3-oxo-7,8-dihydro-α-ionol found in Shiraz leaves (both grapes
in the species Vitis vinifera)[9] or wine[10][11] (responsible for some of the
spice notes in Chardonnay), can be produced by fungal peroxidases[12] or
glycosidases.[13]
Research
Terpenes have properties as chemicals in food, cosmetics,
pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.[14][15] Chemical synthesis of
terpenes can be problematic because of their complex structure, and plants
produce small amounts of terpenes, making it difficult, time-consuming and
expensive to extract them directly from plants. The genomes of 17 plant species
contain genes that encode terpenoid synthase enzymes imparting terpenes with
their basic structure, and cytochrome P450s that modify this basic structure.[16]
Research into terpenes has found that many of them possess
qualities that make them useful active ingredients as part of natural
agricultural pesticides.[17] Terpenes are used by termites of the
Nasutitermitinae family to ward off predatory insects, through the use of a
specialized mechanism called a fontanellar gun.[18]
Terpene, any of a class of hydrocarbons occurring widely in
plants and animals and empirically regarded as built up from isoprene, a
hydrocarbon consisting of five carbon atoms attached to eight hydrogen atoms
(C5H8). The term is often extended to the terpenoids, which are oxygenated
derivatives of these hydrocarbons.
Isopentenyl pyrophosphate
Dimethylallyl pyrophosphate
Biological formation of the terpenes occurs by the combination
of two molecules of acetic acid to give mevalonic acid (C6H12O4) and conversion
of the latter to isopentenyl pyrophosphate, which contains the five-carbon
isoprene skeleton. Further transformations of the isopentenyl compound yield
the true terpenes and the terpenoids.
The true terpenes are usually grouped according to the
number of isoprene (C5H8) units in the molecule: monoterpenes (C10H16) contain
two such units; sesquiterpenes (C15H24), three; diterpenes (C20H32), four;
triterpenes (C30H48), six; and tetraterpenes (C40H64), eight. Rubber and
gutta-percha are polyterpenes in which 1,000–5,000 isoprene units are joined in
a long chain. Monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and diterpenes are abundant in the
essential oils of plants: turpentine contains several monoterpenes, and the
rosin acids are diterpenes. Vitamin A is another important diterpene. The
triterpene squalene, obtainable from shark-liver oil, may be converted to
cholesterol and many other steroids. The carotenoid pigments are the best known
tetraterpenes.
Terpenes are a large and diverse class of organic compounds,
produced by a variety of plants, particularly conifers, though also by some
insects such as termites or swallowtail butterflies, which emit terpenes from
their osmeteria. They are often strong-smelling. They may protect the plants
that produce them by deterring herbivores and by attracting predators and
parasites of herbivores.
Essential oil, highly volatile substance isolated by a
physical process from an odoriferous plant of a single botanical species. The
oil bears the name of the plant from which it is derived; for example, rose oil
or peppermint oil. Such oils were called essential because they were thought to
represent the very essence of odour and flavour.
The first records of essential oils come from ancient India,
Persia, and Egypt; and both Greece and Rome conducted extensive trade in
odoriferous oils and ointments with the countries of the Orient. Most probably
these products were extracts prepared by placing flowers, roots, and leaves in
fatty oils. In most ancient cultures, odorous plants or their resinous products
were used directly. Only with the coming of the golden age of Arab culture was
a technique developed for the distillation of essential oils. The Arabs were
the first to distill ethyl alcohol from fermented sugar, thus providing a new
solvent for the extraction of essential oils in place of the fatty oils that
had probably been used for several millennia.
The knowledge of distillation spread to Europe during the
Middle Ages, and isolation of essential oils by distillation was described
during the 11th to 13th centuries. These distilled products became a specialty
of the European medieval pharmacies, and by about 1500 the following products
had been introduced: oils of cedarwood, calamus, costus, rose, rosemary, spike,
incense, turpentine, sage, cinnamon, benzoin, and myrrh. The alchemical
theories of the Swiss physician and alchemist Paracelsus played a role in
stimulating physicians and pharmacists to seek essential oils from aromatic
leaves, woods, and roots.
In some oils one or only a few components predominate: thus
oil of wintergreen contains about 98 percent of methyl salicylate; orange oil,
about 90 percent of d-limonene; bois de rose, 90 percent of linalool; and
cassia, up to 95 percent of cinnamaldehyde. In most oils there is a mixture of
anywhere from a few dozen to several hundred individual compounds. Trace
components are very important, since they give the oil a characteristic and
natural odour.
