Don't need it. Since I realized the digestive connection to my arthritis I have structured my diet to achieve optimal output, so to speak. That's something I learned from my studies of Ayurveda 20 years ago. These days I don't remember much detail from what I learned in those studies, but the necessity of having a healthy digestive system remains paramount for me. I am also lucky that I would rather eat a good piece of fruit than a candy bar any day. I find healthy food to also be the best-tasting. LC

guggul (the resin of the myrrh tree and one of the proverbial gifts of the Magi,) is both a bile sequestrant and low level statin. For this reason, one should add COQ10 if you take it. It's health effects have been known about since well before that time. Gold is a cure for economic ills, Frankincense (Boswellia) was an anti-oxidant, analgesic, anti-carcinogen and disinfectant, and myrrh was a medicine for the heart. Three of the gifts are explicitly identified in Matthew — gold, frankincense and myrrh — and have become one of the best known items from Matthew; it is often assumed that these three are the only gifts the Magi are described as giving. (It has been suggested by scholars that the "gifts" were in fact medicinal rather than precious material for tribute.[11][12][13]) They are often linked to chapter 60 of the Book of Isaiah and to Psalm 72. Both of these reports gifts being given by kings, and this has played a central role in the inaccurate perception of the Magi as kings, rather than as astronomer-priests. In a hymn of the late 4th-century hispanic poet Prudentius, the three gifts have already gained their medieval interpretation as prophetic emblems of Jesus' identity, familiar in the carol "We Three Kings" by John Henry Hopkins, Jr., 1857.
