Colloidal Silver as an Immune Support Nutrient

Using Colloidal Silver as an Immune Support Nutrient

The amount of colloidal silver required to kill any bug is unknown.
Modern research suggests that most pathogenic organisms are killed in the test tube at concentrations of 10–40 ppm, with some requiring up to 60 ppm.

Whether or not a specific colloidal silver product will kill any virus is also unknown. There are a few published studies showing that silver does have probable anti-viral properties. The working hypothesis is that colloidal silver can bind directly to viral particles and interfere with either the function of the virus or the binding of the virus to human cells.

It is a shame that our government doesn’t pay for further research, especially relating to seasonal flu, which could be of profound benefit to the public health.
I never suggest using colloidal silver as a daily preventive product and I never suggest using it on an ongoing basis for anything. Colloidal silver taken daily will disturb the friendly balance of flora in your gut – albeit not anywhere near as badly as antibiotics will (because colloidal silver also kills yeast). If you find that you want to take it daily for a while then be sure to take some acidophilus at a different time and other GI support as needed.

When you understand that nothing is guaranteed and you understand that the product is non-toxic when used as directed (and not longer than two weeks), then in my opinion the best time to try it is at the onset of any bug.

1-2 tsp is generally used as the first dose, repeated in a few hours and every few hours if needed (up to four times per day).

You can also use a nasal spray bottle to spray it up into your sinuses, if needed.
Some have used it as ear drops or eye drops quite successfully.
If doing eye drops I would recommend a fresh bottle.

The typical response based on clinical experience is that well over half the time, and more likely greater than 70% of the time, whatever bug seemed to have a toehold in you is completely gone.

If you don’t get that benefit, well, it didn’t work that way for you. It is somewhat hard to believe that anything can potentially work so well, yet it often does.

Based on my clinical experience the ability of colloidal silver to knock out an established bug is not as high. It is closer to 50/50 in terms of whether it will be significantly helpful or not (taking 1 tsp up to four times a day, up to two weeks). I have seen many cases of dramatic improvement and many cases of no improvement – and there is no way to know without trying.
Other than transient digestive disturbance, I have never seen any downside.

Think of colloidal silver as a tool in your immune support toolbox. In actual practice, it is one of many things you may consider taking if you are fighting a bug. It certainly does not replace appropriate medical care, nor does any immune support nutrient.

Always see you doctor, as appropriate, for your situation. Most people aren’t going to go running off to their doctor at the first sign of a bug. Consider this time a window of opportunity to see if you can get the upper hand. You have many options, and colloidal silver is one of them.

It is my opinion and experience that colloidal silver is so good at what it does that it is worthwhile for everyone to have a bottle on hand for a time of need.

You won’t know if you are knocking out a virus or bacteria, but do you really care? Most people just want that feeling of their body being invaded to be over – fast.

It is also my anecdotal observation that colloidal silver does work on many viral infections, and has helped many people with the flu of years gone by.

How effective it may be against the H1N1 swine flu is anyone’s best guess. Time will tell. I for one will be ready and waiting.

Food of the Week . . . Sea Vegetables

Did you know that sea vegetables almost perfectly match the mineral composition of human blood?

Consider the facts that our earth is about 60% water (primarily oceans), and our bodies are also about 60% water (fluids in and around our cells, and blood).

If you examine the mineral profile of the oceans, the sea vegetables that grow in these oceans, and our blood, it is difficult to find any category of food that has as diverse a mineral composition as sea vegetables.

It's also difficult to find any category of food whose overall mineral composition better matches that of human blood. The nutritional uniqueness of sea vegetables also involves a category of nutrient called sulfated polysaccharides. This category of carbohydrate-related nutrients, also called fucans, has been studied for its anti-inflammatory properties, and fucan extracts from brown sea vegetables have been found to lower inflammatory activities of key human proteins involved in inflammation called complement proteins.

Which is the best form of WHEY?

From Jay Robb:

Question: I have always believed that your whey protein was the best available, and I looked at it as an investment in my health. But recently, I have heard rumors that whey protein concentrate is better than isolate. I found an article that claims all isolates are exposed to acid processing, that the body cannot assimilate proteins in isolate form, and that isolates are stripped of their nutritional cofactors. What is the truth??

Answer: All of these claims are false, and I hope my explanation (though it is a little long) will help you understand why whey protein isolate is the purest and best form of protein available.
First, the claim that all isolates are exposed to acid processing is totally false.
Only ion-exchange whey isolates are usually exposed to acid during processing.
Ion-exchange whey is outdated now and was the original means of isolating the whey protein fractions of sweet dairy whey. We used this in our original formula back in 1994, but have since upgraded to only using a whey protein isolate created from cold-filtering liquid sweet dairy whey through a unique ceramic filter that captures the whey protein fractions and “isolates” them.

Isolate in this case means the sugars (such as lactose) are removed, as well as any fat portion.
This type of processing DOES NOT filter out the immune boosting cofactors of the original whey protein, only sugars and fat.Next, your body CAN assimilate proteins in isolated form.
Your body can easily assimilate a protein in isolated form.
But a whey protein isolate is not a single amino acid that is isolated.
Isolated, in this case means that the whole food protein fraction is isolated and the sugars and water are removed.
A whey CONCENTRATE is merely a whey isolate that is not filtered very well, and includes some sugars and fats (not pure protein).

An isolate is usually easily tolerated by someone who is lactose intolerant, but a concentrate contains significant amounts of lactose that can upset the intestinal tract of a person who is lactose intolerant.

Finally, a cold-filtered whey isolate is NOT deficient in nutritional cofactors or amino acids. An ion-exchange whey isolate can be deficient in key amino acids and cofactors, but this is completely different from a cold-filtered whey isolate. Cold-filtered whey isolates are not deficient at all.

As I have stated, they are pure, isolated protein, with only fat, water, and lactose removed.The article you read on whey protein isolates must been written years ago, and was probably just never updated.

The information is false and very outdated. Isolates are only possible thanks to new technology, and Jay Robb is committed to keeping up with advances to bring you the purest and best protein available.

It is a shame that there is so much good information on the internet and there is also a lot of false and misleading information such as the information you read.

Kombu - Add to Soups & Beans

Yesterday I made a HUGE batch of Magic Mineral Broth - a recipe by Rebecca Katz.
See the recipe at her website.

One of the ingredients is kombu - a sea vegetable.

Use kombu when cooking soups, brown rice and beans by adding a 4-6 inch strip to as they cook. When cooking time is short, soak kombu for 20 minutes first.

Cut up cooked kombu and add it back to the soup or beans.

Kombu is a good source of Iodine and Potassium as well as vitamins A, and C and it contains glutamic acid, a natural flavor enhancer.

Kombu contains enzymes that help to break down the sugars in beans that cause bloating and gas. It increases digestibility, reduces blood cholesterol and hypertension.

Chlorella

The following is found on NaturalNews

Four Inexpensive Whole Food Supplements Wednesday, October 15, 2008 by: Barbara L. Minton, citizen journalist

today we'll look at one of the four:

Chlorella

Chlorella is a single-celled fresh water-grown green algae that

• helps build the immune system and
• detoxify heavy metals and other poisons in the body. It
• improves the digestive and elimination system,
• normalizes blood sugar and
• blood pressure levels,
• increases and clarifies focus and attention,
• improves energy level,
• balances body pH, and
• cleanses the breath.

Chlorella contains slightly less protein than spirulina, and this protein is also highly digestible.

It contains

• the complete vitamin B complex with more B-12 than liver,
• vitamin C,
• vitamin E,
• a broad spectrum of enzymes including pepsin for digestion,
• beta-carotene,
• iron,
• zinc,
• macro minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium, rare trace minerals,
• essential fatty acids including gamma linolenic acid (GLA), and
• polysaccharides.

Chlorella is

• 18% chlorella growth factor that is a fabulous rejuvenator of the body produced in its nucleus,
• up to 10% RNA, and
• up to 3% DNA.

Its chlorophyll content is higher than the other algae and grasses. The tough outer cell wall of chlorella, which must be broken in processing to allow access to its nutrients, provides a fiber that eliminates toxins, pesticides and heavy metals by binding with them in the body.
It aids the body in the breakdown of persistent hydrocarbon and metallic toxins such as DDT, PCB, mercury, cadmium and lead, while strengthening the immune system response. This fibrous broken outer cell wall also provides material that greatly enhances digestion and digestive tract health.
The chlorophyll in chlorella like that in spirulina has a magnesium ion at its center, giving it the same remarkable red blood cell building ability. Chlorella is also an excellent transporter of oxygen to the body and brain.
Its chlorophyll cleanses the bowel, bloodstream and liver.
Chlorella stimulates the activity of T-cells and macrophages by increasing interferon levels, enhancing the immune system's ability to combat foreign invaders such as bacteria, viruses, chemicals and foreign proteins.
It is a power cancer fighter.
NSI brand chlorella can be purchased online from

• Vitacost for $29.99. The bottle contains 1500 tablets. The suggested consumption amount is 3 grams which would be 15 tablets, yielding 100 servings per bottle.
• Kyoto chlorella from Swanson Vitamins is a high quality chlorella with packaging that allows the chlorella to remain extremely fresh. Swanson charges $35.99 for 1500 tablets.
• There doesn't seem to be much powdered chlorella around at a reasonable price with the exception of NOW Foods' powdered chlorella, selling at Lucky Vitamin for $25.06 a pound. Unless the cell wall of the chlorella has been broken, the product is worthless. Check the labeling information.

Redskins cheerleader Got Flu Shot - Now Disabled

View Video

Desiree Jennings, 26 was the picture of health prior to the flu shot she received on August 23. She is a Washington Redskins cheerleader and an avid runner. Ten days after receiving the flu shot, she came down with the flu. After that, her health got worse and she was hospitalized twice for seizures. Finally, she was diagnosed with dystonia and the doctors speculated that it was the flu shot that caused it.

Alternative Treatments for Meniere's Disease

The following information is found at: http://www.cancertutor.com/Other02/Menieres_Disease.html

Proposed Natural Treatment for Meniere's Disease

KNOWN CAUSE of Symptoms: Aspartame
First of all, aspartame, the sugar substitute, also known as NutraSweet, Equal, etc., that is found in virtually all diet soft drinks and many other products, has been proven to cause the symptoms of Meniere's Disease. It also causes depression and a lot of other things.

RULE #1: Avoid aspartame AT ALL COSTS
Likewise, the ubiquitous food additive MSG, or monosodium glutamate (to be discussed next), can also give a person the symptoms of Meniere's Diease.

KNOWN CAUSE of Symptoms: MSG, HVP, Cysteine
MSG is ADDED to over 30 different substances, thus allowing the food vendors to HIDE the fact that MSG is in their products. Food vendors ADD MSG on purpose to make the food more flavorable and to make the food more addictive.
However, they HIDE the fact that MSG is in their products because if they admitted it, no one would buy their products.

Here is a PARTIAL list of foods that contain MSG that the food industry does not want you to know about. The list was compiled by Shoshanna Allison, M.T.P.:
Food Additives That ALWAYS Contain MSG
Monosodium Glutamate [MSG]
Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein [HVP]
Hydrolyzed Protein;
Hydrolyzed Plant Protein
Plant Protein Extract
Sodium Caseinate
Calcium Caseinate
Yeast Extract
Textured Protein (Including TVP)
Autolyzed Yeast
Hydrolyzed Oat Flour
Corn Oil
Food Additives That FREQUENTLY Contain MSG
Malt Extract Malt Flavoring
Bouillon Broth Stock
Flavoring
Natural Flavors/Flavoring
Natural Beef or Chicken Flavoring
Seasoning Spices
Food Additives That MAY Contain MSG Or Excitotoxins
Carrageenan
Enzymes
Soy Protein Concentrate
Soy Protein Isolate
Whey Protein Concentrate
Also: Protease Enzymes of various sources can release excitotoxin amino acids from food proteins
For more information about MSG fraud, see:http://www.truthinlabeling.org/

RULE #2: Avoid MSG, HVP, cysteine, etc. AT ALL COSTS
Possible Cause: Food Allergies
Allergies frequently cause inflammations in the body. These allergies show up in different places in the body. It is possible one of those places causes the symptoms of Meniere's Disease.
Possible Cause: Microbes
While Meniere's Disease may be caused by a virus, there is insufficient evidence that it is generally caused by a virus.
Having said that, a review of the natural substances that have successfully treated Meniere's Disease leads to a list of items that are generally antiviral, antifungal and antibacteria treatments.
An example of this is colloidal silver, which has been shown to be effective in the treatment of Meniere's Disease.
In alternative medicine colloidal silver is generally used to treat bacterial infections and viral infections.
Other Things to Avoid
(excess salt - and poor quality salt - use Real Salt, Celtic Salt etc.)
Meniere's Disease may be caused or exacerbated by poor circulation.
Things like caffeine and nicotine are well-known to cause circulation problems.
Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes also cause circulatory problems.
There is a list of supplements below which improve circulation.
Treatments for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes can be found elsewhere on this website.
Treatments
Here are some alternative treatments that are claimed to treat Meniere's Disease:
Note: Some mutivitamins may meet several of these requirements.
Manganese, 50 mg a day,
Chromium Picolinate, to control blood sugar, which is a problem with many MD patients,
Magnesium, 200 mg a day,
Calcium (get coral calcium, which also has trace minerals),Vinpocetine (mentioned on several sites),
Lipase enzyme (Meniere's has been known to be caused by a lack of this enzyme)
Niacin - Vitamin B3 (improves circulation),
Cayenne Pepper (improves circulation),
MSM (improves circulation),
Ginko Biloba (improves circulation),
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) (improves circulation),
Alpha Lipoic Acid (Lipoic Acid) (for hearing loss)
Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids (keep arteries free from plaque),
Supplement High in B Vitamins,Vitamin B12
Colloidal silver (antiviral, antibacterial)

All Causes Listed
1) Aspartame (KNOWN cause),
2) MSG, HVP, Cysteine (KNOWN cause),
3) HSV-1 virus (may or may not be a cause),
4) Food allergies (probable cause),
5) Lack of lipase enzyme

Nerve Regeneration
If true Meniere's Disease is caused by nerve degeneration, there are several items which are known to regenerate nerve damage. They are:
1) DMSO, [see: DMSO Article]
2) Helichrysum essential oils (my recommended vendor is Young Living - all other U.S. brands are junk). There is one testimonial of helichrysum helping a Menieres patient significantly. Young Living vendors can work with you on how to use cotton balls to administor the essential oil.
3) EFA's, which are a type of omega-3 fatty acids (source: The pH Miracle for Diabetes, by Robert O. Young, PhD),
4) Insulin (source: Treating Cancer With Insulin Potentiation Therapy, by Ross A. Hauser, M.D. et. al.),

Lifetime IBS is GONE in Two Weeks

Digestive Wellness 3rd edition - widely used in college nutrition programs

Leaky Gut Syndrome

Michael, a 45 year old man, came to see me who's main complaint was debilitating Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
He was self employed and the symptoms were so severe that he couldn't work two weeks every month. He was also on medications for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, depression, arthritis and allergies. And he was 35 pounds overweight which put him in the obese category.

He told me that he could remember being a child and not being able to make it home from school because the IBS was so severe. This was a clue to me that this was a lifetime problem, and perhaps he had Celiac disease. I had him return to his physician with a request for celiac testing. The results came back negative. However, while we were waiting for the test results I had him start an elimination diet to remove possible inflammatory foods from his diet.

I explained to him, "You have so many things going on, and all of them could be due to diet and lifestyle. Let's start with a clean slate and see if anything changes for you".

From his diet we eliminated

• wheat,


• sugar,


• dairy,


• alcohol,


• perspectives,


• additives,

and within one week he started to feel better.

In two weeks his IBS was gone, as was the stiffness in his fingers; he had lost eight pounds and was starting to feel pretty good.

At the end of three months he had lost 30 pounds, he reported having a terrific level of energy and said he felt 15 years younger. His physician was then able to take him off his antidepressants, blood pressure, cholesterol, and allergy medications.

Michael is an example of someone who was being treated in the conventional way using the "pill for an ill" approach.

The holistic approach treated him as a whole person who was suffering from inflammation. Allergies, weight gain, IBS, stiffness in the joints, and even depression can have inflammatory components. So rather than treat individual symptoms we looked for the common source. The idea is to look for the lever that's the right one for that particular person. One size fits all is usually not the best approach.

***************************

Here's a source for a good e-book on how to do an elimination diet.

Organic Produce May Have Been Treated with Naturally-derived pesticides that are Neurotoxins

source
But what does the USDA mean by organically produced? Organically grown means a product was not grown or processed using synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. That does not mean that naturally derived fertilizer and/or pesticides are not used - they are. The kicker is that neither the USDA nor FDA (or most of the farmers for that matter) test for organic pesticides. Some of the commonly used ones are:
Rotenone - insecticide extracted from the root of a tropical plant; it is a nerve toxin that is also used to kill mites on chickens and kill fish
Deguelin - a derivative of rotenone & naturally occurring insecticide; high doses are suspected of having negative effects on the heart, lungs, and nerves of humans
Pyrethrum/Pyrethrin - fungicide and likely human carcinogen derived from chrysanthemums
Azadirachtin - insecticide extracted from the seeds of the Neem tree that acts as an anti-feedant and growth inhibitor
Myristicin - a naturally occurring insecticide present in nutmeg oil; has possible neurotoxic effects on dopaminergic neurons

The Consumer's Union reported that 25% of organic fruits and veggies carried detectable levels of pesticides and 1/3 of that 25% had levels higher than conventional products.
And organic products make up about 8% of the confirmed E.coli cases in the US, but are only 1% of the diet.
Lesson here? Just because something is labeled organic doesn't mean it doesn't contain things you may not want to ingest.
So whether you buy conventional or organic, give that food a good washing!
I've only scratched the surface of this topic, there's so much more to the organic world. So I will be "organically speaking" for a little while!

Are Marshmallows a Whole Food?

What is a Whole Food?

from Feeding the Whole Family

by Cynthia Lair (Sasquatch Books, 2008)

To determine whether a food is whole or not one must be awake when making food choices. Before we put a bite in our mouths, before we heat it up, before we even decide to toss it in our grocery cart, there needs to be a moment, a second, when we consider where the food came from.

What was its life like before it came to be on this grocery store shelf?

Foods that are in boxes can be pretty mysterious. For simple whole foods, foods that don't need a list of ingredients, imagining what their journey was like is easier.

I have found that the best way to determine whether a food is whole or not is to ask these questions:

Can I imagine it growing?

It is easy to picture a wheat field or an apple on a tree. Tough to picture a field of marshmallows. I know of no streams where one can scoop up a bucket of diet soda, no trees where one can pick froot loops.

How many ingredients does it have?

A whole food has only one ingredient - itself. No label of ingredients is necessary on simple foods like apples, salmon and wild rice.What's been done to the food since it was harvested?

The less, the better. Many foods we eat no longer resemble anything found in nature. Stripped, refined, bleached, injected, hydrogenated, chemically treated, irradiated, and gassed; modern foods have literally had the life taken out of them.

Read the list of ingredients on the labels; if you can't pronounce it or can't imagine it growing, don't eat it.

If it is not something that you could possibly make in your kitchen or grow in a garden, be wary.

Are all of the original edible parts still present?

Juice is only a part of a fruit.

Oil is only part of the olive.

When you eat a lot of partial foods, your body in its natural wisdom will crave the parts it didn't get.

Graphical Evidence shows Vaccines Didn't Save Us!

VaccinationDebate Website

GRAPHICAL EVIDENCE SHOWS VACCINES DIDN'T SAVE US

The above graphs, based on the official death numbers as recorded in the Official Year Books of the Commonwealth of Australia, are taken from Greg Beattie's excellent book "Vaccination A Parent's Dilemma" and

represent the decline in death rates from infectious disease in Australia.

They clearly show that vaccines had nothing to do with the decline in death rates.

(Note: Graphical evidence on the decline in death rates from infectious disease for USA, England, New Zealand and many other countries shows the exact same scenario as above).

So what were the true reasons for this decline?

From his book 'Health and Healing' Dr Andrew Weil best answers it with this statement;
"Scientific medicine has taken credit it does not deserve for some advances in health. Most people believe that victory over the infectious diseases of the last century came with the invention of immunisations. In fact, cholera, typhoid, tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough, etc, were in decline before vaccines for them became available - the result of better methods of sanitation, sewage disposal, and distribution of food and water."

Read More from the Vaccination Debate Website

NaturalNews.com reports these chilling facts as found on the VaccinationDebate website:

- In 1977, Dr Jonas Salk, who developed the first polio vaccine, testified along with other scientists that mass inoculation against polio was the cause of most polio cases throughout the USA since 1961. (Science 4/4/77 "Abstracts" )

- In 1978, a survey of 30 States in the US revealed that more than half of the children who contracted measles had been adequately vaccinated. (The People`s Doctor, Dr R Mendelsohn)

- In 1979, Sweden abandoned the whooping cough vaccine due to its ineffectiveness. Out of 5,140 cases in 1978, it was found that 84% had been vaccinated three times! (BMJ 283:696-697, 1981)

-The February 1981 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 90% of obstetricians and 66% of pediatricians refused to take the rubella vaccine.

- In the USA, the cost of a single DPT shot had risen from 11 cents in 1982 to $11.40 in 1987. The manufacturers of the vaccine were putting aside $8 per shot to cover legal costs and damages they were paying out to parents of brain damaged children and children who died after vaccination.

Urgent lawsuit filed against FDA to halt swine flu vaccines; claims FDA violated federal law

lawsuit charges that the FDA violated the law

in its hasty approval of four swine flu vaccines by failing to scientifically determine neither the safety nor efficacy of the vaccines.

NaturalNews

Friday, October 09, 2009

by: Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

Health freedom attorney Jim Turner is filing a lawsuit in Washington D.C. mid-day Friday in an urgent effort to halt the distribution of the swine flu vaccine in America.

On behalf of plaintiffs Dr. Gary Null and other licensed health care workers of New York State, the lawsuit charges that the FDA violated the law in its hasty approval of four swine flu vaccines by failing to scientifically determine neither the safety nor efficacy of the vaccines.

"The suit will seek an injunction against the FDA from approving the vaccine," attorney Jim Turner told NaturalNews on Thursday evening's Natural News Talk Hour show.

"And the core of the argument is that

• they have not done the proper safety and efficacy tests on the vaccine to allow it to be release at this time.

"The suit seeks to not only nullify the FDA's
unlawful "approval" of the four H1N1 influenza vaccines, but to also ask the
court to issue an injunction that would halt any mandatory vaccination
requirements."

The FDA is required by law to establish that a vaccine is safe and effective before it can be given to the public," said Turner. "We are arguing that they did not establish that the vaccine was effective, and did not establish that it was safe. They are trying to get it on the market by a waiver."

How to avoid Pancreatic Disease

DearPharmacist.com had the following article:

"Two people in my neighborhood have pancreatic cancer, and my favorite actor Patrick Swayze died of it. What is going on? What do you know about this and how can we protect ourself?"
–E.D. New York City

Answer:
It’s among the top 5 leading cancers in the United States, it’s extremely aggressive and surprisingly, more than 250,000 people die of it worldwide. I was very sad when Dirty Dancing star, Patrick Swayze died from it recently.
With cancer, there are many factors at play, but no single smoking gun.

If you have diabetes, gallbladder disease, Celiac disease or liver damage, your risk of pancreatic cancer is higher.

There are also many household items and foods that increase your risk for pancreatic disease, so here are 6 things I want you to get rid of:

1. Hard liquor and alcohol. It’s a liquid bullet aimed for your liver and pancreas. Alcohol causes free radical damage which increases risk for pancreatitis, which often precedes cancer of the pancreas. Don’t trade in your pancreas for your heart by drinking alcohol every night.
2. Cigarettes. Just like alcohol, cigarettes spark loose cannons in your body that destroy healthy cells and promote the growth of cancerous ones. A 2004 study in Cancer proved that tobacco was an environmental trigger for pancreatic cancer in predisposed patients.
3. Soda and Foods that contain HCFS: ‘High fructose corn syrup’ is a very concentrated sweetener that forces your pancreas to secrete a truckload of insulin in order to neutralize the blood sugar spike that occurs after consumption. High insulin blood levels increase your risk of many diseases, including pancreatic cancer. In fact, there is an undeniable link between high insulin (as well as insulin-resistance) with pancreatic cancer according to a 2005 JAMA study.Several weeks ago, I wrote a detailed column diseases caused by high insulin, which is posted at www.DearPharmacist.com. The second reason I want you to get rid of items containing HCFS is because it causes obesity. Obesity affects levels of two other hormones called leptin and adiponectin. When those two hormones fall out of balance, it appears that your risk for pancreatic cancer increases. Besides, obesity is an absolute risk factor for pancreatic cancer.
4. Non-stick pots. Animal studies show that a chemical called PFOA is tied to cancer. Studies conflict, however some experts feel that non-stick pots are a source of this chemical. Until we are sure, it’s safer to cook with stainless steel.
   
5. Soft plastics that contain phthalates (like teething rings, water bottles): There are numerous research articles that link phthalates to cancer, including prostate, breast and pancreatic cancer.
6. Animal and trans fats. A study in the June 2009 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found a direct relationship between pancreatic cancer and dairy or red meat-derived fats.
   Did You Know?The herb curcumin may benefit people with pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer.

10 Things You're Not Supposed to Know About the Swine Flu Vaccine

Ten Things You're Not Supposed to Know about the Swine Flu Vaccine
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
by: Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews

Ten things you're not supposed to know about the swine flu vaccine

(At least, not by anyone in authority...)

#1 - The vaccine production was "rushed" and the vaccine has never been tested on humans. Do you like to play guinea pig for Big Pharma? If so, line up for your swine flu vaccine this fall...

#2 - Swine flu vaccines contain dangerous adjuvants that cause an inflammatory response in the body. This is why they are suspected of causing autism and other neurological disorders.

#3 - The swine flu vaccine could actually increase your risk of death from swine flu by altering (or suppressing) your immune system response. There is zero evidence that even seasonal flu shots offer any meaningful protection for people who take the jabs. Vaccines are the snake oil of modern medicine.

#4 - Doctors still don't know why the 1976 swine flu vaccines paralyzed so many people. And that means they really have no clue whether the upcoming vaccine might cause the same devastating side effects. (And they're not testing it, either...)

#5 - Even if the swine flu vaccine kills you, the drug companies aren't responsible. The U.S. government has granted drug companies complete immunity against vaccine product liability. Thanks to that blanket immunity, drug companies have no incentive to make safe vaccines, because they only get paid based on quantity, not safety (zero liability).

#6 - No swine flu vaccine works as well as vitamin D to protect you from influenza. That's an inconvenient scientific fact that the U.S. government, the FDA and Big Pharma hope the people never realize.

#7 - Even if the swine flu vaccine actually works, mathematically speaking if everyone else around you gets the vaccine, you don't need one! (Because it can't spread through the population you hang with.) So even if you believe in the vaccine, all you need to do is encourage your friends to go get vaccinated...

#8 - Drug companies are making billions of dollars from the production of swine flu vaccines. That money comes out of your pocket -- even if you don't get the jab -- because it's all paid by the taxpayers.

#9 - When people start dying in larger numbers from the swine flu, rest assured that many of them will be the very people who got the swine flu vaccine. Doctors will explain this away with their typical Big Pharma logic: "The number saved is far greater than the number lost." Of course, the number "saved" is entirely fictional... imaginary... and exists only in their own warped heads.

#10 - The swine flu vaccine centers that will crop up all over the world in the coming months aren't completely useless: They will provide an easy way to identify large groups of really stupid people. (Too bad there isn't some sort of blue dye that we could tag 'em with for future reference...)The lottery, they say, is a tax on people who can't do math. Similarly, flu vaccines are a tax on people who don't understand health.
