NEW: Some Facts about Cedar Resin and Resin Extract
Cedar trees secrete resin as a defense to close wounds from insects or other forces. The sap provides a protective layer or sealant over the injury. The sap hardens forming an amber glob which turns dark in color over time. On fresh wounds, you'll notice a whitish layer of sap covering the damaged area. With time, large clumps form making it easier to harvest. Resins contain antimicrobial properties that help prevent decay and fungal infections, and resins also seem to decrease water loss during droughts or plant injury.
Humans have gathered and used resins from cedar for thousands of years. Native Americans used cedar sap for medicinal purposes. The resin is either chewed on or made into a beverage by mixing with water. It is known to be very effective in treating stomach ulcers and rheumatoid arthritis. It also alleviates joint pain, while reducing inflammation and increasing mobility. It was used in ancient Babylon to treat stomach problems, inflammations and ulcers.
During the Civil War, a Confederate surgeon named Francis Porter used cedar resin as a stimulant, diuretic and laxative. There is evidence that colonial Americans used cedar sap as a cold and cough remedy and in the treatment of cancer, and physicians even recommended ground cedar resin mixed with water for ulcers, smallpox and syphilis. The Chinese used the resin from a cedar tree to treat abscesses.
The most popular product that is made with Cedar resin is medicinal Turpentine balsam or Resin extract on a base of Siberian Cedar Nut Oil 5%, 10% and 20%.
According to the "Plants for a Future" "The turpentine obtained from the resin of all cedar trees is antiseptic, diuretic, rubefacient and vermifuge. It is a valuable remedy used internally in the treatment of kidney and bladder complaints and is used both internally and as a rub and steam bath in the treatment of rheumatic affections. It is also very beneficial to the respiratory system and so is useful in treating diseases of the mucous membranes and respiratory complaints such as coughs, colds, influenza and TB. Externally it is a very beneficial treatment for a variety of skin complaints, wounds, sores, burns, boils etc and is used in the form of liniment plasters, poultices, herbal steam baths and inhalers... It is useful in treating burning of the body, cough, fainting and ulcers."
Resin extrtact has been used medicinally since ancient times and is still being used as folk remedies up to the present. The most common applications are for infections and infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, cancer, arthritis and rheumatic diseases in general. Resin extract therapy may be one of the best ways to eliminate pathogenic microbes and parasites from the blood and bowel. It appears that the success of Resin extract is due to its detrimental effect on these fungi and CWD microbes, which then allows the immune system to eliminate remaining pockets of other pathogens and abnormal cells in tumours and affected organs.
According to Wikipedia: "Turpentine was a common medicine among seamen during the Age of Discovery, and one of several products carried aboard Ferdinand Magellan's fleet in his first circumnavigation of the globe." To expel tapeworms, a powerful dose of one to two tablespoons of Turpentine was given, usually mixed with the same amount of castor oil and taken floating on milk. This was repeated every second or third day until the fragments of the worm ceased to appear in the stool. For children, the prescription was less drastic: one teaspoonful of sugar, three to four drops of Turpentine and one teaspoonful of castor oil.
Jennifer Daniels, MD, discovered that American slaves had a secret remedy that kept them free of diseases: a teaspoon of turpentine balsam mixed with a teaspoon of white sugar, taken for short periods several times each year. She adopted this as a successful Candida therapy: Slowly pour a teaspoon of turpentine balsam over sugar cubes or a rounded teaspoon of white sugar to soak it all up. Then chew the cubes or soaked sugar and wash the mixture down with water. Dr Daniels generally recommends doing this twice a week for several weeks, but initially daily with long-term Candida. Continue until the problem is fixed - which can happen surprisingly quickly.
Dr Daniels states that before starting turpentine balsam therapy it is essential to prepare by drinking lots of water, adopting a suitable anti-Candida diet and cleaning the bowel. At this stage, it is necessary to have three daily bowel movements, otherwise the pathogens may get into the blood. She also believes that the use of sugar in this case is beneficial in stopping the sugar craving so common with Candida and in attracting the Candida to the "poison".
In her report, Dr Daniels also wrote that the first edition of The Merck Manual of appropriate and accepted treatments for recognised diseases, published in 1899, states that turpentine balsam therapy is effective for a wide range of conditions including gonorrhoea, meningitis, arthritis, abdominal difficulties and lung disease.
Resin extract is often recommended as best for cleaning the blood, as it is quickly absorbed in the stomach.
How To Use Resin extract
How Resin extract is taken and for how long is rather flexible. Some take it as needed, while others have a full course every year just as a precaution. A good way is to start with half a teaspoonful, then continue with one teaspoon for a week or two; if not much seems to happen, then gradually increase up to one tablespoon for a while until ending with one teaspoonful, for a total duration of about six weeks or until your problem has sufficiently improved. It may be advisable to have a shorter or longer follow-up course two months later.
Commonly, Resin extract is taken once a day either before breakfast or at bedtime. One woman supposedly cured her terminal cancer, with metastases all over the body, by drinking a glassful of Turpentine balsam followed by fruit juice. She wrote that it caused extreme diarrhoea and vomiting for three days. High doses of microbicides may cause too much fungal die-off too suddenly, resulting in a "reaction" with nausea and fatigue. While this is generally good and part of the healing process, it is better to increase the dose only gradually to avoid or minimise strong, unpleasant reactions, although diarrhoea is very common at some stage. During a reaction, temporarily reduce or skip the remedy until recovered.
Resin extract is best taken on an empty or nearly empty stomach, as it floats on anything that is in the stomach and then may continue repeating for a longer time.
For arthritis, Resin extract is used as a rub or in a pack placed on painful areas. This is very effective in drawing out inflammatory pain from arthritic joints and promoting their healing. Also, tumours may be covered with Turpentine balsam packs.
For toe and nail fungus as well as fungal infections of the skin, the affected parts may be soaked in Resin extract.
Candida infections or thrush in the mouth or vagina may be treated by coating or rinsing with Resin extract.
However, for cleaning the bowel of cancer, Candida or parasites, it may be necessary to take up to a tablespoonful of Resin extract at a time.

Customer Reviews:
...I have used the cedar nut oil with resin to get rid of a bad congested chest. I rubbed the resin extract on my chest and then used a light heating pad over top of a towel to open up my skin - what relief... The cold never did go into my chest deep like they almost always do - I think this is because of the cedar nut oil with 10% resin. My doctor was very pleased and was surprised when I told him how I got rid of the cold. I have a terrible history of bronchitis and have had pneumonia a number of times, so he had wanted to use anti-biotics with me. As I had just gotten my most recent shipment in I told him I would use my Cedar Nut products first and see what happens. Two weeks later there was no sign of the cold at all - and as before I mentioned, did not move deep into my lungs like usually happens.
Blessings to you all at the Ringing Cedars of Russia people.
Sincerely, Jessica Wheeler, Canada

I do however still have GERD and will continue with the treatment and report back to you.
Thanks again.

Although the Cedar Resin Extract is a bit strong, I feel it is the most beneficial of all the Cedar Nut Oils you have in your selection. I use it internally once a day in the morning and it gives me energy through the whole day. All the best!

NEW: Cedar Nut Benefits: 5 Ways This Nutritious Seed Can Rejuvenate Your Body
By Dr. Mercola
Cedar nuts have been enjoyed since ancient times. Roman soldiers ate them and they've been mentioned by Greek authors as early as 300 BC.1 Nutritionally speaking, cedar nuts contain many of the same healthy nutrients as other nuts, including healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants... but cedar nuts are not actually nuts at all.
Cedar nuts are the seeds of cedar trees. You'll find them between the scales of cedar cones.
Once harvested from the cone, cedar nuts must be shelled, and they should be consumed shortly after. Unshelled cedar nuts are prone to rancidity due to their high oil content (so be sure to store them in your fridge).
Cedar nuts are considered a delicacy in many parts of the world. They're commonly eaten raw or roasted, and their sweet nutty flavor and crunchy texture lends itself well to snacking, vegetable dishes and, of course, sauces like pesto.
5 HEALTH BENEFITS OF CEDAR NUTS
There are many additional reasons to eat cedar nuts aside from the flavor, as they're surprisingly good for your health.
1. Suppress Your Appetite
If you're trying to lose weight, eating cedar nuts may help. Research showed that fatty acids derived from cedar nuts lead to the release of high amounts of cholecystokinin (CCK), an appetite-suppressing hormone.
Women who consumed three grams of the fatty acid pinolenic acid prior to breakfast slowed the absorption of food in their gut and decreased their food intake by 37 percent.
2. Boost Energy
Cedar nuts contain nutrients that help boost energy, including monounsaturated fat, protein and iron. Cedar nuts are also a good source of magnesium, low levels of which can lead to fatigue.
One-half cup of cedar nuts provides nearly half of the daily recommended amount of magnesium, which is a benefit in itself since so many Americans are deficient.
3. Reduce Heart Disease Risk
Cedar nuts contain a synergistic blend of compounds known to support heart health. This includes monounsaturated fat, magnesium, vitamin E, vitamin K and manganese.
Research suggests that the pinolenic acid in cedar nuts supports healthy cholesterol levels and may have LDL-lowering properties by enhancing the liver's LDL uptake.
4. Anti-Aging Antioxidants
Cedar nuts contain a wealth of antioxidants, including vitamins A, B, C, D, and E, and lutein. Antioxidants are crucial to your health as they are believed to help control how fast you age by combating free radicals, which are at the heart of age related deterioration.
Antioxidants are nature's way of defending your cells against attack by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Your body naturally circulates a variety of nutrients for their antioxidant properties and manufactures antioxidant enzymes in order to control destructive free-radical chain reactions.
5. Vision Health
Cedar nuts contain lutein, a carotenoid that may help you ward off eye diseases like age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Your macula is a small area just two millimeters wide, located in the back of your eye, in the middle portion of your retina.
For reasons scientists have yet to pinpoint, parts of your retina and macula may become diseased. As AMD progresses, tiny, fragile blood vessels that leak blood and fluid begin to develop in your retina, causing further damage.
However, there is pigment in your macula that seems to act as a blue-light filter to protect your macular region against oxidation by light. In addition, this macular pigment can scavenge free radicals.
Lutein is one of the predominant pigments in this area, and numerous studies have found that consuming foods rich in these nutrients can significantly reduce your risk of AMD (and non-Hodgkin lymphoma).

Russian Cedar Nuts are Awesome, thx Anastasia :):):)
Serge, Oregon, USA

I have found since I began using the cedar nut flakes, first of all they are so delicious I eat them all the time, its like my body is craving the vitmains and minerals present in the cedar nuts, like it can't get enough of what the wonderful cedar nuts offer. I usually take about 1/2 cup and pour boiling water over them and then let them sit until the nuts have softened. They are incredibly sweet but not cloying sweet, they taste marvellous, and I can almost feel the energy kicking up in my body when I eat them. Once I ate them very late at night and wasn't able to go to sleep for quite a while - being wide awake I put my time to productive use. I also will cook them with milk or else blend the cedar flakes with water in the blender and make a rich nut milk instead, which is again delicious, and fills me with a great energy and satisfaction for my appetite...

The brand name "THE RINGING CEDARS OF RUSSIA" stands for business integrity, decency and the highest possible quality of product. All products marketed under this brand name convey the primordial power of Nature and the warmth of our hearts. We offer:
A variety of high-quality cedar products, including cedar nuts and cedar nut oil.
Huge plantations of cedar trees grow in the Siberian taiga, said to be the ecologically purest area of the world. The virgin forest of the taiga has never been treated with any chemicals or artificial fertilisation, nor abused by agricultural machines.
Cedar nuts (the seeds of the cedar tree) take two years to mature, during which time the tree accumulates a huge volume of positive cosmic energy. Crops of nuts are harvested manually by people lovingly devoted to this task, working in a pleasant environment without undue haste to create unique products full of positive energy reflecting the infinite powers of Nature. Specific preparations include:
We pick only cedar cones which fall naturally from the trees, thus ensuring that only ripe cones are selected. We always avoid hitting the trees to shake unripe cedar cones down (as happens with some other commercial operations) -- a practice which causes the nuts to lose their healing power.
Cones are then manually shelled with the help of wooden shell-removers. Nut centres are separated from their shells using wooden rollers.
Cedar nut oil and cedar nut flour marketed under our brand name are obtained by the cold-pressure method, using manual wooden oil-presses.
Cedar nut oil is then stored in special containers and packed in a Kin Domain "Sunny Meadow" located near Tomsk city using unique technology to avoid any contact with metal. The whole process is strictly supervised to ensure it complies with all sanitary requirements.
Final products are placed in special packaging to prevent daylight penetration, and stored at a temperature of 0C to +5C to better preserve the product's natural components. The resulting product is a bright gold-coloured liquid with the pleasant smell of cedar nuts. It is a 100% natural product with strong healing powers.
SIBERIAN CEDAR NUT OIL
Siberian Cedar nuts (cedar nuts) contain about 60% oil. They are therefore pressed to obtain Cedar nut oil, which is available on the market as a very expensive gourmet cooking oil. Cold pressing in all-wooden presses is preferred to retain the nutritional properties of nuts and derive the oil of highest quality.
The Cedar nut oil bearing "The Ringing Cedars of Russia" brand comes exclusively from wild-harvested Siberian Cedar nuts - one of the most nutritious Cedar nuts in the world. In comparison, other Cedar nut oils are usually pressed from the Italian pignolia Cedar nuts, which are not nearly as potent and are often harvested from trees growing in plantations. Our Siberian Cedar nut oil is extra virgin (100% cold pressed from freshly shelled raw Siberian Cedar nuts), whereas most Cedar nut oils on the market are either not cold pressed or even pressed from roasted (!) Cedar nuts, which significantly decreases the oil value. Finally, "The Ringing Cedars of Russia" Siberian Cedar nut oil is the only one which is available on the market anywhere in the world pressed with wooden presses in accordance with traditional techniques described in Vladimir Megre's life-changing book "The Ringing Cedars of Russia". In contrast, all other Cedar nut oils are pressed using steel presses, which immediately degrades them (contact with steel oxidizes some of the Cedar nut oil's most important ingredients such as vitamins, and is known to remove the 'life force' from the oil).
Cedar nut oil has also traditionally been used in ancient Russian and European natural medicine to cure a wide array of ailments - ingested (decreasing blood pressure, boosting immune system resistance, etc.) or applied externally (a range of dermatological disorders). It is also used in expensive cosmetics.
Cedar nut oil contains pinolenic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid, and is marketed in the U.S. as a means stimulate cell proliferation, prevent hypertension, decrease blood lipid and blood sugar, and inhibit allergic reactions.
