_____________________________

1. Eat a primarily vegetarian diet - eat 7 - 10 servings of nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables every day. You may want to use a Vita-Mix blender to made blended juices and smoothies.


2. Don't eat seared meat, it creates heterocyclic amines (carcinogens)


3. Don't eat nitrates in processed meat. They are changed to nitrosamines in the stomach (carcinogens)


4. Minimize meat in the diet. Women who eat meat every day have over a 300% increase in breast cancer. Meat contains high iron levels. Most of this iron is absorbed. Iron is a potent generator of free radicals.


5. Eliminate bad "supermarket oils" Oils make a difference. Omega 6 oils (soy, safflower, sunflower, peanut, corn, canola, etc.) stimulate PG2 Prostaglandin - inflammatory substance which activates dormant breast cancer cells and produces active cancer. The average american is consuming 50 times more Omega 6 fats than they should.
   The government and nutritionists have told us that they prevent heart attacks and that we should consume more vegetable oils. Not only does it increase breast cancer, it increases overall inflammation in the body and significantly aggravates atherosclerosis. Take fish oil or cod liver oil, make your own salad dressing of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.


6. Vitamin deficiency dramatically increases your risk of breast cancer. Particularly a deficiency in
   B12
   Vitamin E
   Selenium
   Folic Acid
   
   If you supplement with Vitamin E and Selenium you can reduce breast cancer incidence 60%.
   If you add other antioxidants and change your diet closer to a vegetable-based diet and if you eat meat, eat only mercury-free fish and white meat in moderation - you can reduce breast cancer risk much higher than that - 70 to 80% reduction in breast cancer risk.


7. Cut alcohol. Alcohol significantly increases risk of breast cancer. Studies show a 292% increased incidence of breast cancer in women who consume even small amounts of alcohol.
   But if they take folic acid, it erases the carcinogenic effect of alcohol.
   Alcohol depletes folic acid.

Women with increase risk of breast cancer...
If you supplement with

Quercitin + Vitamin C 500 mg, Powerful cancer-inhibiting properties, antioxidant, iron chelator, anti-inflammatory. Take one or two, 3 times a day. NSI Brand

Curcumin, 500 mg. Take one twice a day. Promotes healing of previously damaged tissue. Absorption is increased when taken with olive oil or fish oil. NSI Brand

Gingko Biloba 120 mg. Take one twice a day. (Do not take with aspirin, arthritis meds, or other anticoagulants) NSI brand

Vitamin E 400-800 IU is protective and can reverse damage. Carlson E Gems Elite or Unique-E.

Vitamin C - 1500 mg or more of buffered vitamin C powder (look for 100% L-ascorbate, fully reduced)

Vitamin D3 - 2,000 - 4,000 IU, see vitacost. Regulates genes and can turn off cancer.

Selenium - 100-200 micrograms per day, no more. see vitacost

Alpha Lipoic Acid - 100 mg per day,

Vitamin B12, B6, Folic Acid and Niacinamide Vitacost has a B-Complex

you dramatically decrease the effect of the inheritance so you are far less likely to develop breast cancer even though you have a strong family history.


From Dr. Blaylock's book, Health and Nutrition Secrets:

When the balance between good and bad bacteria becomes disrupted...this can lead to a B12 deficiency... breast cancer...

Correct the imbalance --->STOP taking antibiotics and NSAIDS. Add a good probiotic.

(see http://www.wellnessresources.com/ or http://www.beyondhealth.com/)











Dental x-rays bounce off the teeth and go to the brain and thyroid and increase brain and thyroid cancer.



Recommendation:



Eat a pure diet.



You can reverse some of this.



Genes can be turned on and off.



Nutrition can activate good genes.

The Health Benefits of Probiotics

Article by Dr. Group

Studies on Probiotics
Studies show that probiotics

• improve the bio-availability of many important nutrients in the body such as zinc, iron, phosphorus, all of the B vitamins, calcium, copper, and magnesium. [4]
• normalize bowel function in patients suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). [5]
• provide improvements in patients suffering from bloating. [6]
• have been shown to significantly lower the rate of diarrhea and diaper rash in babies’ consuming infant probiotics. [7]

Active bacteria cultures, such as acidophilus, have been shown to aid in reducing intolerance to lactose found in dairy products. [8]

• Several studies on probiotics have indicated that through the process of regulating intestinal transit time of fecal matter, probiotics can dramatically reduce constipation in the elderly. [9]
• Other reports indicate that some forms of probiotics, can aid in promoting the growth of healthy bacteria in the colon, significantly lowering the conversion of bile in the colon into carcinogens. [10]
• Some studies demonstrate that probiotics enhance overall immunity through a process of regulating lymphocytes and antibodies in the body. [11]

Squalene and the Swine Flu H1N1 Vaccination

Squalene is the adjuvant that drug makers are adding to the vaccine because it will stimulate the immune system, hoping that the immune system will then see the "killed" virus and make antibodies.
This has never been approved by the FDA.

Squalene is not a problem when injested.
Squalene causes horrible problems when it is INJECTED.

Squalene was given in the first Gulf War and was responsible for 20,000 hospitalizations for adverse effects.

"Squalene in vaccines has been strongly linked to the Gulf War Syndrome. On August 1991, Anthony Principi, Secretary of Veterans Affairs admitted that soldiers vaccinated with the anthrax vaccine from 1990 to 1991 had an increased risk of 200 percent in developing the deadly disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig’s disease. The soldiers also suffered from a number of debilitating and life-shortening diseases, such as polyarteritis nodosa, multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus, transverse myelitis (a neurological disorder caused by inflammation of the spinal cord), endocarditis (inflammation of the heart’s inner lining), optic neuritis with blindness and glomerulonephritis (a type of kidney disease)."

Squalene stretches the supply - its all about the money.

http://socioecohistory.wordpress.com/2009/07/15/dr-russell-blaylock-vaccine-may-be-more-dangerous-than-swine-flu/

http://georgewashington2.blogspot.com/2009/08/while-swine-flu-vaccine-has-been.html

"Here's a key point: novel adjuvants stretch the supply, so from the perspective of getting enough vaccine for the country or the world in a hurry, they would be indispensable. But from the point of view of the individual, the risk-benefit calculation is problematic."

Dr. Blaylock: Like SARS and bird flu before it, this swine flu scare is a lot of nonsense. Just take your high dose vitamin D3 (5000 IU a day), eat a healthy diet and take a few immune boosting supplements (such as beta-1, 3/1, 6 glucan) and you will not have to worry about this flu.

We are taking Colloidal Silver in the a.m., Probiotics in the p.m. (take them separately as colloidal silver works like an antibiotic and probiotics are the good bacteria), and Vitamin D.

Dr. Mercola
What Squalene Does to Humans
Your immune system recognizes squalene as an oil molecule native to your body. It is found throughout your nervous system and brain. In fact, you can consume squalene in olive oil and not only will your immune system recognize it, you will also reap the benefits of its antioxidant properties.
The difference between “good” and “bad” squalene is the route by which it enters your body. Injection is an abnormal route of entry which incites your immune system to attack all the squalene in your body, not just the vaccine adjuvant.

Your immune system will attempt to destroy the molecule wherever it finds it, including in places where it occurs naturally, and where it is vital to the health of your nervous system.[viii]
Gulf War veterans with Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) received anthrax vaccines which contained squalene.[ix] MF59 (the Novartis squalene adjuvant) was an unapproved ingredient in experimental anthrax vaccines and has since been linked to the devastating autoimmune diseases suffered by countless Gulf War vets.[x]
The Department of Defense made every attempt to deny that squalene was indeed an added contaminant in the anthrax vaccine administered to Persian Gulf war military personnel – deployed and non-deployed – as well as participants in the more recent Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program (AVIP).
However, the FDA discovered the presence of squalene in certain lots of AVIP product. A test was developed to detect anti-squalene antibodies in GWS patients, and a clear link was established between the contaminated product and all the GWS sufferers who had been injected with the vaccine containing squalene.
A study conducted at Tulane Medical School and published in the February 2000 issue of Experimental Molecular Pathology included these stunning statistics:
“ … the substantial majority (95%) of overtly ill deployed GWS patients had antibodies to squalene. All (100%) GWS patients immunized for service in Desert Shield/Desert Storm who did not deploy, but had the same signs and symptoms as those who did deploy, had antibodies to squalene.
In contrast, none (0%) of the deployed Persian Gulf veterans not showing signs and symptoms of GWS have antibodies to squalene. Neither patients with idiopathic autoimmune disease nor healthy controls had detectable serum antibodies to squalene. The majority of symptomatic GWS patients had serum antibodies to squalene.”[xi]
According to Dr. Viera Scheibner, Ph.D., a former principle research scientist for the government of Australia:
“… this adjuvant [squalene] contributed to the cascade of reactions called "Gulf War Syndrome," documented in the soldiers involved in the Gulf War.
The symptoms they developed included arthritis, fibromyalgia, lymphadenopathy, rashes, photosensitive rashes, malar rashes, chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, abnormal body hair loss, non-healing skin lesions, aphthous ulcers, dizziness, weakness, memory loss, seizures, mood changes, neuropsychiatric problems, anti-thyroid effects, anaemia, elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), Raynaud’s phenomenon, Sjorgren’s syndrome, chronic diarrhoea, night sweats and low-grade fevers.”[xii]

http://www.newsweek.com/id/195692
Swine flu vaccine contains squalene oil as an adjuvant.Squaline contributed to the cascade of reactions called Gulf War syndrome. GIs developed arthritis, fibromyalgia, lymphadenopathy, rashes, photosensitive rashes, malar rashes, chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, abnormal body hair loss, non-healing skin lesions, aphthous ulcers, dizziness, weakness, memory loss, seizures, mood changes, neuropsychiatric problems, anti-thyroid effects, anaemia, elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, deadly Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Raynaud's phenomenon with paroxysms of lack of blood in fingers and toes in fingers and toes, Sjorgren's syndrome with blurred vision, chronic diarrhea, night sweats and low-grade fever.
Dangerous side effects of flu vaccinations due to vaccine adjuvant squalene:Imunologist Dr. Pamela Asa first recognized autoimmune diseases showing up in GIs that mirrored those in lab animals injected with oil formulated squalene adjuvants.
Squalene adjuvants are a key ingredient in a whole new generation of vaccines intended for mass immunization around the globe.
Squalene is not just a molecule found in a knee or elbow - it is found throughout the nervous system and the brain.
When injected in the body, the immune system attacks it as an enemy to be eliminated.
Eating and digesting squalene isn't a problem.
But injecting it galvanize(s) the immune system into attacking it, which can produce self-destructive cross reactions against the same molecule in the places where it occurs naturally in the body - and where it is critical to the health of the nervous system.
Once self-destruction begins, it doesn't stop as the body keeps making the molecule that the immune system is trained to attack and destroy.
Squalene is a kind of trigger for (a) real biological weapon, what Soviet researchers called a biological time bomb.
Now the WHO hype is aimed at provoking mass hysteria over a non existing threat to humanity: Swine flu, a much milder A flu than seasonal flu. Such politically created hoax will probably be associated with mandatory mass vaccinations for no medical reason but for the enormous profits of the New World order corporations and their scientists - as well as for global/political reasons. The vaccine carries a risk of very serious complications.
Firstly we remember the Bayer´s contaminations of products for hemophiliacs with AIDS virus and this year Baxter´s contamination of seasonal flu vaccine with deadly bird flu virus.
However, there is also a very serious problem with the adjuvant of the vaccine: the oil squalene, which is said to have caused the Gulf Syndrome.

War on You
Animals injected with squalene always develop painful, incurable, autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus according to investigative journalist Gary Matsumoto, former reporter for NBC and Fox News. (Gary Matsumoto, Vaccine A: The Covert Government Experiment That’s Killing Our Soldiers and Why GIs Are Only the First Victims, Basic Books, 2004)
Dangers of squalene have been known since 1956 when Dr. Jules Freund, creator of this oil-based adjuvant, warned that animals injected with his formulation developed terrible, incurable conditions: allergic aspermatogenesis (stoppage of sperm production), experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (the animal version of MS), allergic neuritis (inflammation of the nerves that can lead to paralysis) and other severe autoimmune disorders.
Squalene (MF 59) was added to the anthrax vaccine. This vaccine caused tens of thousands of U.S. Iraq Desert Storm soldiers to suffer permanent neurological damage called “Gulf War Illness.” (Jane Bergermeister, Adjuvants to be added to H1N1 vaccine by Baxter and WHO programme body for “endless loop of self-destruction, 2009)
Squalene (MF 59) enzyme is not approved for human consumption but waived for use in the H1N1 vaccine. It also potentially causes “undiscovered side effects” according to Jefferson, Mercola and others. (video)

Protect Your Breasts With Vitamin D

Christiane Northrup, MD
Posted: August 21, 2009 06:42 PM

The Huffington Post

There's a paradigm shift going on in medicine as new research reveals a far greater role for vitamin D.

Vitamin D is not just for kids--or the prevention of rickets.

Optimal levels of Vitamin D (40-80 ng/ml) enhance the creation and functioning of healthy cells throughout the body.[1]

In addition to protecting the bones and boosting the immune system, studies show that Vitamin D helps prevent certain cancers, including breast, ovarian, prostate, and colorectal.[2,3,4,5] Exciting new research shows that in the U.S. alone, thousands of new cases of breast cancer could be prevented every year if more women had optimal levels of vitamin D.[6]
A study conducted by Cedric Garland and other prominent vitamin D researchers determined that women with vitamin D levels above 52 ng/ml have half the risk of developing breast cancer as those with 13 ng/ml![7] Garland (et al) estimates that 58,000 new cases of breast cancer in the U.S. could be prevented per year by raising vitamin D levels to 52 ng/ml. Imagine what the global impact could be!

Suffering from IBS - Alternative Approach?

The following is from the BeyondHealth website by Raymond Francis

Question: I am suffering from IBS, experiencing
abdominal cramping, diarrhea, bloating and gas. My
doctor has me on two different drugs, but I was wondering
what the alternative approaches might be.
C. B. — Nogales, AZ
Answer: Drugs are seldom a solution to anything, and
there are always better alternatives. While everyone has
digestive disturbances at times, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)
now affects about one out of five Americans—an
epidemic to say the least. While drugs may alleviate your
symptoms, they do nothing to eliminate the causes, and
of course, drugs are toxic and do long-term damage to
your health.

In fact, two of the most widely used drugs
have serious side effects, including severe constipation
or diarrhea and decreased blood flow to the colon, which
may lead to even more digestive problems and diseases.

We all have to understand that prescription drugs are virtually
always a poor option for any health problem. Much more than an inconvenience with unpleasant
symptoms, IBS has a host of other ramifications including impaired digestion and nutrient absorption along with the creation of toxins and infections in the gut.
This results in deficiency and toxicity, the two causes of all disease.

In my experience, a combination of dietary and lifestyle changes along with high quality supplements work quite well to eliminate the problem.
Perhaps the largest single cause of IBS is the irresponsible use of antibiotics and other prescription drugs by our physicians. This creates abnormal flora in the digestive
system, upsetting the bacterial balance in the intestines. In turn, this results in maldigestion, tissue damage, malabsorption, the creation of dangerous toxins and IBS.

The first thing to do is stop eating the junk that passes for food in our supermarkets. Stay away from sugar, alcohol, caffeine and all fried foods. Switch to a primarily plant food diet, rich in fresh fruits, vegetables and grains.

Stay away from unhealthy oils (all supermarket oils) and consume only high-quality (the quality is critical) olive, flax, coconut and fish oils. Do not consume any foods you know you are allergic to. Each allergic reaction will irritate your gut for days. If you are not certain what you might be allergic to, stay away from common allergens such as dairy, gluten-containing grains
(wheat, rye, and barley), corn, soy, yeast, eggs and nuts.
Do proper food combining.

Do not mix starchy foods with protein foods as most Americans do—the standard meat and
potatoes diet or pancakes and eggs for breakfast. When taken together, this slows the digestion, leading to bacterial growth that can colonize in the stomach lining and
cause digestive disturbances.

Do not drink a lot of fluids with your meal, as this can dilute the stomach acid and
make digestion less efficient. Lastly, get on a good supplement program to support
your digestive system.

Natural Cure for MRSA and Other Skin & Wound Infections

Photo credit

According to Russell Blaylock, MD, the best treatment for all wounds, even those infected with MRSA is a 50:50 mix of Hydrogen Peroxide:Betadine (Povidone Iodine).

Buy these two items at any drugstore or Wal-Mart and keep them on hand.

Mix the two in equal parts and flood the wound or soak the wound the best you can.

Dr. Blaylock used this extensively ever since he was a resident in neurosurgery. Mix half hydrogen peroxide with half betadine. Make up enough to use for each treatment. "Hydrogen peroxide and betadine will kill just about any organism and known virus, no organism can develop resistance to it," said Dr. Blaylock in an interview with Raymond Francis, Beyond Health.

Dr. Blaylock used this on all surgical wounds he encountered, even those that went very deep into the spine.

You will notice bubbling as the Hydrogen Peroxide debrides ( remove dead, contaminated or adherent tissue)the wound. Put some betadine on a bandage and cover the wound. Repeat a 3 or 4 times during the day.

Dr. Blaylock said, "I never had a wound that wouldn't heal. It always cleared the infection immediately. In fact I could close the wound primarily, which is almost never done in surgery. It would sterilize the wound so completely that you could close the wound primarily. I never had a wound re-infected after treatement with than. It is something anyone can do."

MRSA is resistant to antibiotics, but it is not resistant to antiseptics.

This is the most powerful antiseptic.

Usually within a week of treatment most wounds should be clean.

Raymond Francis say improve overall health and immunity by getting off sugar, processed oils, white flour and get on a good program of supplements like Vitamin C.

You shouldn't have these infections if your immune system is doing its job.

Another thing Dr. Blaylock suggested is Beta Glucan (purchase at Vitacost). It stimulates your cellular immunity and that's what is used mainly to fight bacteria.

The other thing is Vitamin D3. In high concentrations Vitamin D causes your body to secrete anti microbial peptides which fight bacteria. Most people as they get older get severly Vitamin D deficient, so it takes 5,000 - 10,000 U of vitamin D for a few weeks, then cut back to 2,000 - 5,000 units of D3 per day.

Beta glucan plus D3 can drastically improve your immunce system, but you need to cut out sugar, high fructose corn syrup etc.

Bacteria live off sugar.

That's why diabetics are so easily infected, because their tissues are filled with sugar. Sugar suppresses the immune system.

Millions are Deficient in Vitamin D

Deficient in Vitamin D

"Millions" of Children Deficient in Vitamin D

PEDIATRICS (doi:10.1542/peds.2009-0051)
August 3, 2009

About 70 percent of U.S. children have low levels of vitamin D, which puts them at higher risk for bone and heart disease, researchers said today.

"We expected the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency would be high, but the magnitude of the problem nationwide was shocking," said Dr. Juhi Kumar of Children's Hospital at Montefiore Medical Center.
Cases of rickets, a bone disease in infants caused by low vitamin D levels, have also been increasing, other research shows.
The new finding, from a nationwide study, adds to growing evidence that children as well as many adults also lack the vitamin.

Most Americans are Lacking Vitamin D

Archives of Internal Medicine April 2009

Three-quarters of U.S. teens and adults are deficient in vitamin D, the so-called "sunshine vitamin" whose deficits are increasingly blamed for everything from cancer and heart disease to diabetes, according to new research.

Between 1988 and 1994, 45 percent of 18,883 people (who were examined as part of the federal government's National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) had 30 nanograms per milliliter or more of Vitamin D.

A decade later, just 23 percent of 13,369 of those surveyed had at least that amount.

Dr. Eisenstein's Comments:

"No More Vitamin D Deficiency "
What a scandel millions and millions of American Children and Adults are deficient in Vitamin D.

The 35 year campaign by doctors to keep people out of the sun, the use of sunscreens, the contamination of our fish with toxic heavy metals, and the inadequate recommendation for vitamin D supplementation (400IU per day) has led to this serious condition.

...millions and millions of American Children and Adults

are deficient in Vitamin D

Recent scientific studies have found that the level of Vitamin D in most people, while adequate to protect against rickets, is not high enough to lower the probability of pain, cancer, autism, heart disease, osteoporosis and many more medical conditions that may be caused by insufficient amounts of Vitamin D.

You can become "1" less vitamin D deficient person.

At the same time that doctors are discrediting the value of vitamins, minerals and supplements, more and more scientific studies are coming out about their medical and therapeutic values and the sever defeciency in children and adults. No vitamin has had more scientific studies recently published than the rediscovered "Sunshine Vitamin" - Vitamin D.

Dr. Eisenstein's Daily Vitamin D3 Recommendations

1. Get a Vitamin D3 blood test 25(OH)D
2. Make sure your whole family has adequate blood levels of Vitamin D (>50-80ng/ml).
Most children and adults vitamin D blood level is <30ng/ml.>

MSM: Get Rid of Pain

From NaturalNews with David Wolfe:

Methyl sulfonyl methane. MSM is a biologically available form of sulfur that's naturally found in wild, untended food. We don't really have access to that hardly at all any more. I mean, almost all our food is grown on farms for us. It's not being watered naturally by the rain. I'm talking about the natural sulfur that's produced in the oceans that helps create clouds, then drops them on the land that we need nutritionally in order to produce flexible collagen. Now what in the world does that mean? It means that sulfur produces flexible skin and flexible muscle tissue. It stops, in essence, wrinkling and increases the juiciness of the collagen and the discs, the joints that basically separate our bones from each other. On top of all that, it increases the growth of our hair, our nails, so that we have thicker, richer growth of our hair and nails. This can all be easily experienced within two weeks of taking MSM.

David: It's really incredible and people who want thick quick growth of their hair and nails are almost always completely shocked by how powerful MSM can be. You can get it in capsule form. You can get it in a powder form. It's available in every single health food store now. Once you startlooking into it, and especially when you take it, here's what you're going to find out. You're going to find it's one of the most important things you've ever taken. I have randomly polled hundreds of people about MSM. I almost always, to a T here from people who have taken it before: "Oh, MSM changed my life." I've heard that dozens of times, that exact quote. "Oh, MSM changed my life."

From Raymond Francis, Beyond Health
If you're in any kind of pain, this supplement could change your life.
It's methylsulfonylmethane, better known in the supplement world as MSM.
I'm talking about pain from arthritis, fibromyalgia, headaches, muscle soreness, shingles, scleroderma, interstitial cystitis, tendinitis, bursitis, inflammatory bowel disorders . . . or almost any other kind of pain known to humankind.

MSM is the miracle pain remedy James Coburn made famous when he was interviewed in 1999 after winning a Best Supporting Actor Oscar at age 70. His acting career had been put on hold for 15 years due to debilitating Rheumatoid Arthritis. It was MSM that he thanked for enabling him to start working again and win the prize that was the highlight of his career.

And this is one pain remedy that is completely safe.
Not only is MSM one of the safest molecules known and virtually without adverse side effects, if you take MSM to reduce pain, you are likely to get unexpected benefits: stronger nails and hair; relief from allergies, respiratory and chronic skin problems; improved gastrointestinal and immune functions; and faster wound healing including the removal of scars and sunburn damage.

MSM has been shown to inhibit cancer, kill parasites, alleviate leg cramps, help with lupus, and increase energy. If that's not enough for you, it also supports detoxification pathways and reduces the risk of heart disease!
The Magic of Sulfur
. . . could deficiencies be rampant?
Sulfur comprises about 1/3 of MSM by weight, and it is this element that provides much of the magic in the MSM miracle.
One of the most abundant minerals in the human body, sulfur is absolutely necessary for normal growth and repair. A component of several amino acids, certain vitamins and coenzymes, insulin and bile acids, sulfur is present in enzymes and proteins, especially in the skin, nails and hair.
It is also an important part of the cartilage which protects our joints, preventing arthritic pain. Whereas glucosamine is used to make up the building blocks of joint cartilage, these building blocks are linked together in chains by bonds made from sulfur. It is these sulfur bonds that make cartilage strong, firm and resilient.
Sulfur is an important constituent of cell membranes. Where deficient, cell walls become hard and stiff, hindering the flow of fluids into and out of the cell. This prevents toxins from getting out and nutrients from getting in. It also causes pressure build-up in cells, producing inflammation and pain in joints and elsewhere in the body.
Sulfur has had a long history as a healing substance. Sulfur hot springs have eased pain and promoted healing since ancient times. Garlic's primary benefits are related to its sulfur compounds; and sulfur is one of the components of glutathione, the most important antioxidant in the human body.
Given its importance, it is surprising that relatively little scientific attention has been paid to sulfur. Although it is considered an essential nutrient, no dietary requirement has ever been specified for it. It is assumed that a diet adequate in protein will supply enough.
Yet there are those who believe that deficiencies in sulfur are rampant, and that pain and disability may be symptoms of this deficiency.

While present in fresh food, it is extremely perishable and can be destroyed by even minimal processing, such as cutting, washing and drying foods, and even more so by cooking.
Mineral deficient soils compound the problem.

MSM: Effective!
. . . trusted by veterinarians for more than 60 years
Although MSM has been researched since the 1940s, and used successfully by veterinarians and pioneering alternative health practitioners for almost as long, published scientific research until quite recently has been either in a test tube or on animals. However recent human studies, primarily on using MSM to treat osteoarthritis, have been very encouraging.
In a 2006 study, arthritics took 3 grams of MSM twice a day for 12 weeks. By the end of the study, pain had been reduced 25%. An earlier study got significantly better results using a dose 2,250 mg per day:an 80% reduction in pain over 6 weeks. The differences are probably due to differences in the quality of the MSM used in the studies.
In a third study, participants took either 1500 mg/day of glucosamine, 1500 mg/day of MSM, or the two together. At the end of 12 weeks, pain in the glucosamine group was reduced 63%; in the MSM group 52%; and with the combination 79%. Also the combination group experienced quicker relief from pain and inflammation than either of the other groups.
Other studies have found 2,600 mg/day helpful in alleviating seasonal allergies, an MSM and silymarin cream helpful in managing rosacea, and that an MSM nasal spray reduced snoring.
MSM: Safe!
. . . found in mother's milk
Because it is present in small amounts in many foods, and made in the body from amino acids like methionine and cysteine, MSM is not a molecule that is foreign to the human body. MSM is even found in human breast milk. In more than 60 years of research and use in humans and animals, there have been no published reports of allergic reactions or negative interactions with any drug, herb or nutrient. Some anecdotal reports of mild side effects, like loose stools, upset stomach or skin rashes, have cleared up as soon as MSM was discontinued. I suspect these were reactions to impurities in the MSM supplement and not to the MSM itself.
When safety tests are done, scientists determine how much of a given substance is lethal to animals. But with MSM they gave up testing when 20 grams of MSM per kilogram of body weight failed to kill any animals. MSM has a toxicity rating similar to pure water.
However even too much pure water can be harmful, and although some people take up to 100 grams of MSM a day (1,000 mg = 1 gram) without an apparent problem, we don't know what the long-term effects of such large doses might be. For most people 500 mg/day is sufficient. Specific conditions may warrant 1,000 to 6,000 mg/day.

Changing Your pH when You are Too Acidic

Changing pH actually takes some time and is usually done through food. Increase fresh veggies and fruits, lentils, nuts and seeds.

Also, I heard this but never tried it: using Umeboshi plum paste. It can be found in health food stores. Take one teaspoon every day for a week or so, then just a teaspoon every few days for maintenance. You can chase it with a little water.
This is powerfully alkalizing pickled fruit (it’s quite sour to the taste) and will bring your pH into balance quickly.

Raymond Francis:
Cut your acid load and increase your intake of alkaline minerals.
Cut sugar, reduce meat and eliminate dairy.
Cola drinks, coffee, sport drinks and milk all contribute to excess acid.
Drink at least two liters of pure water everyday.
Stress, toxins, and allergic reactions also contribute and should be minimized.
If you are too acidic, it may take some time to normalize your pH. Don't get discouraged. It took decades to get where you are and reversing it will take time.
Raymond Francis is an M.I.T.-trained scientist, a registered nutrition consultant, author of Never Be Sick Again and Never Be Fat Again,

Also try this from Dr. Brantley:
Upon rising drink 8 ounces of pure water with a pinch of sea salt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Ideally do this 30 minutes before every meal.Lemon is one of the only foods with the same kind of energy as the liver. The liver and the lemon contain what is called anionic energy, while most foods contain a cationic energy.When you drink lemon juice and water first thing in the morning, you successfully turn on your liver, warming up the engine, preparing the liver to support the digestive process. Lemon has a powerful effect on the body’s biochemistry and pH levels. The lemon is high in potassium.

These acid-suppressing medications, it turns out, are linked to a 30 percent increase in the risk of acquired pneumonia. And if you're suffering from something like the swine flu, pneumonia is the most common cause of death. It's the secondary bacterial infections, after all, that killed most people in 1918, and that's what's likely to cause the greatest number of fatalities in the next great pandemic as well.If you want to protect yourself from influenza, avoid taking antacid drugs (including over-the-counter antacids).

Taking Indigestion Medication May Increase Risk of Osteoporosis:

Researchers from the University of Manitoba in Canada have discovered that those who take the indigestion drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) over the long-term may increase their risk of osteoporosis and related fractures.

In a study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, researchers looked at PPI use among more than 65,000 people over the age of 50, including 15,792 who had experienced osteoporosis-related fractures of the vertebra, hip or wrist.

The use of PPIs for five years or more was correlated with a 62 percent increase in the risk of osteoporosis-related hip fractures, while use for seven years or more was correlated with a risk increase of more than 400 percent. Use of PPIs for seven or more years was also associated with a doubled risk of all osteoporosis-related fractures.

Book: Natural Alternatives To Nexium, Maalox, Tagamet, Prilosec & Other Acid blockers: What to Use to Relieve Acid Reflux, Heartburn, and Gastric Ailments

Reviews on amazon.com:
*Truly a blessing! Now I finally understand why I have heartburn - it isn't a deficiency of Prilosec that's for sure. Had I known sooner, I could have solved the real problem and spared myself not only a lot of expense but also have avoided the side effects of the drug.

How to get off Nexium and Acid blockers:
Take probiotics and clean up your diet.

From Suzy Cohen, R.PH. book, The 24-Hour Pharmacist
"The answer to healing your gut once and for all isn't found at your pharmacy--it's in your fridge." Here's what she recommends (read the book to get the background info!)

1. Replenish your friendly bacteria with probiotics (I use Super Dophilus from Wellness Resources). Look for products that contain at least 5 billion organisms and at least lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium.
2. Suzy says that acid blockers make it harder for you to maintain healthy levels of folic acid, vitamin b12, vitamin D, and minerals like calcium, iron, and zinc. So if you have been on these acid blockers awhile you will want to supplement the b vitamins, Calcium (as calcium citrate 600 mg/day), Vitamin D (as cholecalciferol, 2,000 mg/day), Zinc, and Iron.

Clean up your diet...first do an elimination diet to check for food sensitivities:

There are Better Calcium Sources than Milk

Calcium:

It is better to choose foods that are high in calcium and are not dairy products.
Dairy contains fat as well as calories, making them prohibitive to eat on a weight loss regimen. Eating some plain, unsweetened yogurt occasionally is fine.

Here are other non-dairy calcium-rich foods:

Sardines
Carrots
Green leafy vegetables such as kale, mustard greens, collards, parsley, turnip greens, beet greens, and dandelion greens
Legumes such as sprouted lentils
Fresh string beans give an ample supply of calcium .
Nuts such as almonds, filberts, and brazil nuts
Blackstrap molasses is very high in this important nutrient. Try 1 tablespoon in a half cup of warm water and drink.
Sea vegetables such as dulse, hijiki, kelp, and wakame are also good sources. (Add sprinkles to salads, and soups.)
Sesame and sunflower seeds
Persimmons, currants, figs, and blackberries

Colloidal Silver Generator

the following information is found HERE (website for silverlungs.com)

What is "colloidal" and "ionic" silver? - True "colloidal" silver is a concentration of nano-sized (particles) of silver suspended in a liquid. True "ionic" silver is a concentration of silver (ions) suspended in a liquid.

During the electrolysis process within The SilverLungs™ Generator, silver ions are created and pulled into the solution of water by the removal of an electron from a single silver atom crystallized within the structure of the silver electrodes. The positive charges of silver ions keep themselves separated from each other due to like-pole repulsion of magnetic charges and forces.
Silver particles are also produced in a smaller ratio as "grains" of silver. These grains of silver are detached from the same crystallized structure of the silver electrodes as a secondary result of ion production through a process referred to as "under cutting." Electrolysis can cause separation at the "grain boundaries" of silver crystals which causes a group of crystallized silver atoms to detach from the silver electrode as a particle. This is how electrolysis produces both ions and particles.

The silver particle content is also held apart from the repulsion of like-poles through an acquired force referred to as "zeta potential." Keeping the silver ions and particles small and separated is key to a stable silver solution with a long shelf-life and more integrity. Although silver particles and silver ions have a distinct atomic difference, they both possess anti-bacterial, anti-germicidal, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties.

Why silver? - Multiple laboratory tests have shown colloidal/ionic silver to kill disease-causing pathogens, viruses and bacteria typically within minutes of contact. Silver has been shown to be a powerful anti-fungal, anti-germicidal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral substance. Surprisingly, current modern pharmaceutical antibiotics are generally effective on less than 10 pathogens.

Silver is used readily in hospital burn wards to prevent scar tissue. Ionic silver has been shown to regenerate human cells and greatly relieves burns when applied topically.

Toxicity to silver ions and nano-sized silver particles is essentially unseen in the very low concentrations produced by The SilverLungs™ Generator.

How does silver work inside the body? - In lay terms, it is commonly believed that a disease-causing pathogen or a virus - in the presence of nano-sized silver particles or ions - will become suffocated through a chemical process called "Catalytic Oxidation".

Other research shows that ionic silver can rob electrons from proteins and/or enzymes that a virus needs to survive and the same result is achieved indirectly by disabling these associated components required for the survival of a virus. Ionic silver has also been shown to regenerate cells that have been destroyed by disease or physical damage.

Silver-infused bandages are commonly used in hospitals and burn wards to protect against infection and to greatly reduce tissue scarring and painful burning sensations.

Gluten connection and Alopecia

Photo from book, The Girl With No Hair

What Is Known About Alopecia And Celiac Disease?

One of the first research studies linking alopecia with celiac disease was published in 1995. Italian doctors had noticed that several of their patients with alopecia also had celiac disease, and that in one of these patients -- a 14-year-old boy -- the missing hair on his scalp and body completely regrew after he adopted a gluten-free diet. This boy's case, and a few others, prompted the doctors to screen a large group of alopecia patients for celiac disease.

Dr. Gazsi recommends:

100% gluten-free diet. Take glutamine, Digestive Enzymes, A good multi vitamin/multi mineral supplement.

Does Eating More Frequently Really Improve My Metabolism?

Jay Robb Q&A
Does eating more frequently really improve my metabolism?
Question: Many diets suggest eating small meals more frequently to keep the metabolism up. For example, many diet programs suggest eating 6 times a day. So why does the FBDME suggest to eat only 3 meals per day and no snacking (and the Six-Pack Diet only twice a day - I bought that book also)?
Answer: Great to hear from you! The research I have seen, and my own personal experience, does not support the myth that frequently eating small meals keeps up the metabolism any better than 2-3 meals a day. Eating frequently is a personal preference for some individuals and I find this to be a habit that can make us slaves to food. If you eat every 2-3 hours your entire day is focused on food. Your digestion can also suffer when foods are consumed too frequently. Hence, my diet plans suggest eating only 2-3 meals a day and no snacking. Snacking adds extra calories, and unless you are trying to gain weight, snacking makes no sense.

What are acceptable sources of meatless protein on your diets?
Question: I am doing the Fruit Flush and I don’t like to eat meat. Can I substitute hemp seeds for the protein in the salad at night, instead of a drink or other protein?
Answer: I classify hemp protein as a nut or seed. It is mostly fat and fiber and very little protein because of the limiting amino acid factors. You may use it like you would any other nut or seed. For meatless protein on any of my diets, I suggest cottage cheese, cheese, egg whites, whey protein, rice protein, or egg white protein.

Thimerosal on Label of H1N2 Vaccine

From the Desk of Mayer Eisenstein MD,JD,MPH

This is a still shot from an ABC News story: Study: Pregnant Women Hospitalized More Often For Swine Flu from Panavax, an H1N1 vaccine currently in testing (there are several.)

The label indicates that this is a multi-dose vial containing Thimerosal used as a preservative.

The Washington Post confirmed today that the swine flu vaccine, which is set to be rolled out nationwide this fall, in what some fear could ultimately become a mandatory vaccination program, will contain thimerosal, a mercury compound which is a toxin linked with autism and neurological disorders.

US Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius confirms that the Swine Flu (H1N1) Vaccine will be laced with the mercury based preservative thimerosal.

Flu vaccines have never worked in any age group. There is limited or no data on the safety and effectiveness of the swine flu vaccine especially with the new untested adjuvants.(formulated compounds, which when combined with vaccine antigens intensify the body's immune response.) Let us not be like sheep being taken to be slaughtered.

Give the right to make medical decisions back to the Patients and their Doctors! The notion of mandating an unsubstantiated injection with no clear evidence of efficacy is outrageous.

Vaccine choice is what it is all about. An informed and aware public both physically and intellectually is what is best for us.

To become better informed please go to Medical Voices Vaccine Information Center. We need Big Pharma and Big Government to stay out of our lives.

Rosacea can be an easy problem to manage

Article by Dr. Mercola

Read full article

Rosacea can be an easy problem to manage with dietary changes, specifically the elimination of grains and sugars, coupled with emotional stress management.

It is rare when the rosacea of patients that visit my clinic doesn’t rapidly resolve when they follow my dietary and other all natural recommendations.

Limit Sugar and Grains.

You will want to normalize your insulin levels and one of the best ways to do this is make certain your intake of foods that will raise them like, sugar, bread, pasta, rice, corn and potatoes are kept low. Ideally it would be best to measure your fasting insulin level to determine if you are eating inappropriate amounts of these foods. Ideally your fasting insulin level should be 3 or lower.

Exercise Regularly
This will also help to normalize your insulin level and overall improve the performance of your immune system.

Eliminate Trans Fat and Processed Foods
Most people don’t realize that most of the fats in your skin cell membranes are exclusively omega-6 fats. If you consume processed foods that are loaded with damaged omega-6 fats, they will be incorporated into your cell membrane and predispose that skin cell to an increased risk of diseases like rosacea and skin cancers. You should make certain that you have a good source of omega-6 fat from organic pumpkin, sesame, or sunflower seeds, or their cold pressed oils.

Optimize Your Sun Exposure and Vitamin D Levels
When you have appropriate levels of vitamin D, your body will produce over 200 antimicrobial peptides to fight any infection in your body. If for whatever, reason you are unable to receive regular sun exposure, then you will want to take a high quality vitamin D supplement and measure your vitamin D level so it is around 50-70 ng/ml.

Eat for Your Nutritional Type
Eating the right foods for your individual needs is your best defense against dis­ease. When you fortify your body with the nutrients it requires, you strengthen your immune system and prepare it to do its job.
Your body was designed to protect and heal itself. Give it the help it needs in the form of the proper fuel for your nutritional type.

Control Emotional Stress
Uncontrolled emotional stress can seriously compromise your immune system. Stress is also a trigger for rosacea flare ups if you already suffer from the disor­der.
I have found that energy tapping techniques work remarkably well in resolving emotional challenges.
If you suffer from rosacea, or if you’re a Baby Boomer not interested in becoming a sta­tistic of this chronic and incurable condition, I strongly encourage you to consider prevention as well as alter­natives to costly medications that carry the risk of overuse and dangerous side effects.

Think of it this way:
Science is proving rosacea is caused by a malfunction of your immune system.
Your immune system is your key to freedom from disorders and disease.
A strong, well-functioning immune system starts with the nourishment you put into your body and your ability to manage emotional and psychological stress.

D Deficiencies

by Raymond Francis at BeyondHealth

Consequences of Vitamin D Deficiencies

. . . a major contributor to our current epidemic of chronic disease As more scientific research is done, we continue to discover the many important roles vitamin D plays in the human body, and the dire consequences of D deficiencies.

What we currently know about the many roles of vitamin D is still the tip of the iceberg, but we know enough to state with confidence that D deficiencies are a major contributor to our current epidemic of chronic disease.

Arthritis.

Vitamin D plays an important role in the synthesis of synovial fluid, the fluid that protects joint health. Vitamin D status has been found to be protective in both osteo and rheumatoid arthritis. Autoimmune Disease.

Low levels of vitamin D have been linked with lupus, multiple sclerosis, Sjogren's Syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroiditis and Crohn's disease.Cancer.

Vitamin D helps to prevent 77% of all cancers through a variety of mechanisms.

As the use of sunblock has gone up, so has the cancer rate. Cancer rates also increase the further you live from the equator (and the less sunlight you get).

Cardiovascular Disease.

Vitamin D helps protect against heart disease by promoting the body's production of anti-inflammatory chemicals and suppressing the calcification of blood vessels.

It has been used as a treatment for high blood pressure, and those with low levels have twice the risk of heart attack, heart failure and stroke.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Fibromyalgia.

Correction of vitamin D deficiencies have led to amelioration of symptoms.

Depression.

Depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder have responded favorably to vitamin D treatment. Vitamin D regulates the production of serotonin and other important neurotransmitters.

Diabetes. Supplementing with vitamin D and calcium cuts the risk of developing diabetes by 33%. Children who receive D supplementation from the age of one have an 80% reduced risk of developing Type I diabetes. Vitamin D also improves insulin reception. Insulin resistance is a factor in not only diabetes but in heart disease and cancer.

Immunity.

Vitamin D plays an important role in the immune response and is itself an anti-viral. Vitamin D researcher J.J. Cannell reported that in a psychiatric institution where he works, while every ward around his fell victim to an influenza epidemic, the vitamin-D supplemented patients in his ward did not.

Inflammation.

Vitamin D is an anti-inflammatory, helpful with allergies or any other inflammatory condition.

Muscles/Pain.

Muscle pain and fatigue are among the first signs of vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D improves motor function, muscle strength and maintenance of muscle mass, balance, speed, and quickness of reaction; in addition it lowers both chronic pain and pain after injury.

Elderly supplemented with vitamin D have fewer falls.

Osteoporosis.

Vitamin D plays crucial roles in calcium absorption and metabolism, and in bone building. Supplementing with both calcium and vitamin D reduces bone loss and fracture risk.

Parkinson's Disease.

Vitamin D is crucial in the production of neurotransmitters like dopamine. It has been shown to be protective against getting Parkinson's, and D-deficiency may be a major cause of this disease.
Periodontal Disease.

Low serum levels of vitamin D are associated with periodontal disease.

Women's Health.

Infertility is associated with low vitamin D status. PMS has been completely reversed by supplementing with calcium, magnesium and vitamin D. Vitamin D has been used successfully to treat polycystic ovarian syndrome, an endocrine disorder leading to irregular periods, masculinization and often obesity.

____________________

Pregnant women need more D, and unless they supplement at very high doses (4,000 IU/day), their breast milk will not be an adequate source of vitamin D for their infant child. For this reason the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends supplementation of 400 IU to all children from birth.
