Red blood cell production:

The iron content in the nutmegs improves the red blood cells count in our blood.

Blood pressure:

Copper is also an important nutrient in nutmegs which helps to maintain the blood pressure and consequently helps in the balance of heart rate too.

Toothache:

Nutmeg oil contains eugenol which is used in dentistry treatments to cure toothache. The oil is also used for body massages to cure joint pains.

Nausea can be cured by the consumption of fresh nutmegs with honey.

Nutmegs with honey, are a good remedy for diseases like gastritis and indigestion. The improvement in digestion boosts metabolic reactions in the body.

People of Trinidad and Tobago - 2


Francis & Laura Escayg - Isaiah (11), Phoenix (6) and Roxy-Moon (5)

Isaiah was born with the genetic disorder “Incontinentia Pigmenti”. Our doctor told us as kindly as he could when he was 9 months old but in those early days it felt like our world had ended – there was the initial grief, anger and disbelief. The foremost characteristic of the condition is developmental delay.

Isaiah can walk but can’t straighten his legs, he is non-verbal, his spine is curved, his eyes are crossed, and he is not potty trained. Determining what causes him discomfort at any time is a guessing game. He has food allergies .He pretty much needs help with everything. He has to be watched all the time because he climbs on cupboards and windows, falls and can sometimes end up in dangerous situations.

Once he nearly strangled himself on the burglar proofing when his t-shirt got snagged. Another time he ran straight out of his grandmother's home in Paramin and fell down a precipice. He has unexpected seizures. He’s sensitive to the energy of other people. He gets angry, happy, and sad like all of us.

He understands and responds to love affection, kisses, and hugs wholesomely. Isaiah would possibly be more independent with ongoing therapy but it’s not available here. Ideally we would like to have him assessed and profiled abroad and given our therapy options.

Everything costs money but the truth is we were never able to afford it. People in T&T with disabilities have very few rights. Families often hide them away because society sees them as “less than”. There is no policy or legislation to serve or protect them. There needs to be more empathy and awareness of the needs of the disabled. They don't need pity. They need systems to allow them to live with dignity and respect.

We both pooled our skills of film and music and founded the organisation “Cause an Effect” to create awareness for ALL disabled people. Ideally we would like to see sustainable living and work communities for the disabled – where those who need it can live and work with assistance, care and dignity. We worry about what happens as we get older and are not here to look after him. This year CAE partnered with Special Olympics.

These incredible disabled athletes bring home gold, silver and bronze medals but the treatment, adulation and respect given to them is completely different than to those who are not disabled.

Francis: We are producing a 70-min. documentary film which we want to complete in time for the T&T 2016 Film Festival called “Soul Dieu”. It’s about a father and a disabled son living in our society.

Its personal; I share my pain and bare the challenges my family faces in raising a child with special needs. I hope to create empathy and shift people’s perspectives about persons with special needs, so we can all enjoy a more inclusive society.

My anxiety is I’m 60. I need to know there will be a place for my son when I’m no longer here- somewhere that’s kind, productive and receptive. It’s an ongoing journey.

Local Tribute ~ Rafael Robertson

Rafael Robertson (master musician) was a beautiful human being who used every opportunity to engage
And enlighten those of us around him. He was always one to offer a kind supportive word to a young
Musician in a bid to encourage them to be better.

He always had a warm smile, a hearty laugh and a witty response. His favorite opening phrase...
"Ming, hear what nah..." as he proceeded to pontificate and elucidate on this and that. He would end with
"We trinis real different boy... "

He loved life and he loved his children. He loved Pan and Calypso, and for all our faults, he loved Trinidad and Tobago.

A master musician but more importantly, an even greater human being. Definitely a giant of a man.
I will surely miss his smile and RAFter.
