Warning: lower cholesterol may raise your cancer risk!

Below is a compiled piece of information from editor William Campbell Douglass II, M.D. of  Health Sciences Institute of Baltimore. As a subscriber to them, I always enjoyed reading their medical marval unveiled.


He is One of the healthiest, most active M.D.'s alive unleashes his shocking secret:

"I would PANIC if my cholesterol dropped below 300!" as he wrote.  And here goes;

The secret is out––and studies show that higher cholesterol could slash your stroke risk by nearly 300%!


Dear Misled Friend:

When I hear a buddy bragging about lowering his cholesterol to 160, I think: "My God, he's a walking heart attack."

Before you call me "crazy" (a title I'm very familiar with), let me show you how keeping those levels HIGHER can...

Revive your sex drive...

Lower your likelihood of cancer...

Improve your brain function...

And make you far less likely to die!

That's because of one simple truth: Cholesterol is not your enemy!

When you tune out the mainstream's anti-cholesterol propaganda -- life is good... and I speak from experience. It means sinking your teeth into a juicy steak whenever you want instead of struggling through another bowl of cardboard granola. It means lounging on the front porch with a premium cigar while your neighbors suffer through another grueling jog.

That's how I've always lived my life and it's probably why I'm called medicine's most outspoken MYTH-BUSTER!

Now I want to show you how you can ignore the lies and shrug off your medical miseries IN THE NEXT 60 SECONDS!

Read below for details on how you can:

SLASH ALZHEIMER'S RISK OVERNIGHT... it couldn't be easier!

GET BACK ON THE COUCH and still be strong and fit.

WARD OFF BREAST CANCER with this miracle mineral.

NATURALLY BOOST TESTERONE LEVELS back to normal.

Cholesterol nice and high? GREAT!

Too low? NOW THAT'S A PROBLEM...

I'm not just talking about raising "good" (HDL) cholesterol. I mean total cholesterol and I think it should be ABOVE 200.

It could save your life.
Yes, I realize that mainstream medicine has been ordering patients to lower their cholesterol more and more until they reach that "magic" range of 160.

But, I make sure my levels are always above 200 (I aim for 300), and I've outlived many of my mainstream peers-and indulged in life's pleasures the whole time.

As usual, mainstream science is turning in my favor and backing up my carefree lifestyle. See for yourself...

1. HIGHER cholesterol makes you far less likely to die...

FACT: Lowering cholesterol can make heart disease worse. A review of medical studies on cholesterol and mortality in heart patients found that lower cholesterol levels led to death ––not survival, like the drug companies want you to think.

FACT: Low cholesterol can trigger the deadliest kind of stroke. It's called a massive stroke and it happens when blood vessels in your brain are so weak, they burst open. Any cholesterol count below 200 is a red flag for this kind of stroke.

FACT: Low cholesterol may raise your cancer risk. Yes, a new study actually links low LDL levels with an increased risk of developing cancer. And it's not the first one. In fact, more than 20 studies have been done on cholesterol and cancer. And the overall majority linked cancer with low cholesterol!

How could all this be so? For the same reason that your body makes its own cholesterol. It's a vital nutrient! Cholesterol is a necessary building block for your immune system and especially your brain cells. In fact...

2. HIGHER cholesterol may improve your memory, stave off depression and even protect you from Alzheimer's...

Believe it or not, healthy brain cells are chock full of cholesterol. Yup, 25% of your body's cholesterol is in your brain. It fuels the electrical impulses that make thinking possible. Plus, studies show...

FACT: Low cholesterol impairs brain function. It's been linked to depression. And cholesterol-lowering drugs have been shown to trigger memory loss . (Drug companies want us to forget this -- and we may – if we keep taking statin drugs!)

FACT: Low cholesterol is linked to Alzheimer's. The eminent researcher Iwo J. Bohr recently published a peer-reviewed paper on the subject. He points out that Alzheimer's patients typically have lower cholesterol and suggests that a great way to prevent the disease may be to eat a high cholesterol diet .

FACT: Low cholesterol is even linked to suicide -- and it's not just because folks are fed up with celery and tofu! The real reason is probably that low cholesterol literally makes you crazy!

And now for some upbeat news...

3. HIGHER cholesterol could

super-charge anyone's sex life...

Why? Because cholesterol is the "raw material" for your sex hormones. Without it, you can't manufacture testosterone, women can't make estrogen––and none of us would have any more sex drive than an earthworm!

Now aren't you ecstati that your cholesterol is over 200?   If it isn't, think of all the fun you'll have getting it back up to healthy levels!
So who am I to be swinging this ax?

I'm William Campbell Douglass, M.D.

I've been called 'the conscience of modern medicine,' and the National Health Federation voted me 'Doctor of the Year.'

I've also been labeled a 'maverick,' and several less flattering names too, but hey, that's part of the territory. And friend, my territory is everywhere...

I've flown with US Navy crews as a Flight Surgeon...

Saved lives as a long-time emergency physician...

Battled malaria in bullet-torn regions of Central America...

Fought deadly epidemics at my own health clinic in Africa...

Worked alongside doctors at Russia's renowned Pasteur Institute...

I've even been called before Congress (they never asked me back)...

And if there's one undeniable medical fact I've learned in 40 years of treating patients all over the world, it's that...

THERE IS NO SUCH THING as an undeniable medical fact!

Medicine just doesn't work that way. You're not a number, you're a human being. The most unpredictable thing in creation...

And your own road to real health can be easier, cheaper and far more pleasant than any health-nag would ever predict.

First we'll get the diet Nazis out of your life. I mean...

Everyone's hollering 'EAT YOUR VEGETABLES'

But please don't overdo it. Because the actual figures reveal:

VEGETARIANS DIE YOUNGER. Oh, they tell you they're healthier, but census data shows the opposite. Plus...

VEGETARIAN KIDS ARE SICKLIER. The Archives of Pediatric Adolescent Medicine reports that children reared on these diets are at higher risk for 'impaired psychomotor development.

VEGETARIAN DIETS WON'T EVEN MAKE YOU MORE REGULAR. Even teenage vegetarians are 8 times more likely to use laxatives!

AND THEY could SAP YOUR SEX LIFE AND YOUR STRENGTH. This is not a myth. In fact, researchers at the University of Massachusetts Medical School have linked meatless, low-protein diets to slumping sex function and muscle loss and bone damage.

And if your idea of instant breakfast is COFFEE AND A CIGARETTE...

Actually, you're half right. That morning cup of coffee you crave is one of nature's real health miracles:

JUST DRINK 2-3 CUPS A DAY and presto! You're 45% less likely to suffer from gallstones...

RAISE IT TO 4 CUPS and you dramatically drop your risk of colon cancer (the second deadliest cancer in America)...

WANT ONLY ONE CUP? Plug in the pot! Because just one cup of coffee packs the antioxidant power of three fresh oranges.

I don't recommend smoking, but if you do, don't give up the coffee! One study shows it may even help protect smokers from bladder cancer.

Then, when they pester you to  'DRINK 8 GLASSES OF WATER A DAY'...

Turn back on your tormentors with one simple question. WHY?

Know what? NOBODY KNOWS WHY. In the words of a famous nutritionist at Penn State University, 'I can't tell you...and I've written a book on water.'

Maybe your kidneys need it? No, according to a kidney expert at the National Institutes of Health, the average healthy adult gets all the water he or she needs from solid food alone.

Well then, perhaps it's to replace the water you lose from drinking coffee? Wrong again! The Journal of the American College of Nutrition confirms that caffeine doesn't dehydrate healthy people.

From now on, you have doctor's orders to drink water only when you feel like it. And if you'll take just one precaution with your water supply, you can...

SLASH YOUR RISK OF ALZHEIMER'S OVERNIGHT

It's really easy. Starting tomorrow, drink no tap water. Not because of industrial pollution, but because of chemicals that 'health authorities' are adding to your water. For example...
People who warned against FLUORIDATION used to be ridiculed, but guess what? In Scandinavia, in fact all of Europe, and nearly every other medically advanced nation, they have now banned the practice.

Know why? Because fluoride makes your body absorb extra aluminum . And where does the aluminum go? Your brain. And what metal shows up alarmingly in the brains of Alzheimer's victims? You guessed it. (Hmm... Maybe our health authorities have been drinking too much water?)

INCREDIBLY FRIGHTENING CANCER MYTHS  that you can stop worrying about right now

If you don't want cancer, don't believe anyone who tells you:

'SUNSHINE CAUSES MELANOMA.' Just the opposite. In studies all over the world, as sun exposure increases, malignant skin cancer risk goes down. In the sunniest parts of Australia, lifeguards have lower skin cancer rates than office workers.

'ELECTRIC BLANKETS GIVE YOU CANCER.' Know how this myth got canonized? Instead of commissioning new research, a public health authority put the question to a VOTE. (NEWS FLASH: you can't change the laws of nature by voting.) Yet even these geniuses freely admit that more than 500 existing studies show ZERO compelling evidence of electric fields causing cancer. Rest easy and while you're at it, enjoy your heating pad again.

'HIGH FAT DIETS CAUSE BREAST CANCER.' Fat phobia may be the height of fashion, but it's JUNK MEDICINE. Researchers studied 88,795 women over the course of 14 years, and what did they find? Not one sign that high-fat diets promote breast cancer. Not one hint that low-fat diets protect you. And in fact...

Women who consumed the least fat got breast cancer MORE OFTEN

Yet of all the cancer myths current today, none has killed more innocent people than one particular, truly murderous hoax:

'DDT CAUSES CANCER.' Says WHO? Check the record. Back in the 1970s, the Environmental Protection Agency examiner summed up 9,000 pages of research by flatly declaring, 'DDT is not a carcinogenic hazard to man.' He also emphasized that it doesn't harm fish, birds or other wildlife. Despite this open-and-shut case, his boss, EPA head William Ruckleshaus went ahead and banned DDT. Aides later said he never read even one page of the studies. He had helped to hatch the DDT scare and couldn't bring himself to admit he was wrong.

The worldwide witch-hunt against DDT hasn't saved one peregrine falcon. But it has unquestionably murdered tens of millions of human children in tropical nations, who continue to die from malaria,

Dengue fever, yellow fever and other mosquito-borne plagues.

I know this all too well from treating patients at my own clinic in Africa. It steams me to think that the anti-DDT activists who commit this genocide are congratulating themselves for being great humanitarians. And the crowning irony is that...

DDT may even prevent breast cancer

One of America's greatest medical researchers, Dr. William Hazeltine, has found that small amounts of DDT actually lower the risk of leukemia and breast cancer in lab animals. (The animals appeared so much healthier, lab technicians started referring to this miracle compound as 'vitamin DDT.')

Are you starting to see how many deadly health FALSEHOODS have been promoted to FACTS, just by being endlessly repeated? And there's another side to this counterfeit coin. Just as many real health breakthroughs that could save your life tomorrow are being ignored.

THE REAL CANCER BREAKTHROUGHS

That mass media has BLACKED OUT

For example, what if you had a truly foolproof test for detecting hidden cancers? One that finds the cancer early enough to enable a complete cure? Everyone wants there to be a test like this, but...

IT SURE ISN'T MAMMOGRAPHY. One of today's most acclaimed cancer experts, Dr. Michael Baum of University College Hospital, London, recently announced that 'I think there is a deception going on.' Very simply, the latest statistics show that mammograms don't save lives. And half of all women diagnosed with 'early breast cancer' may be having mastectomies for nothing.

IT ISN'T THE PSA TEST for prostate cancer, EITHER. Ask your doctor about the alarming study published in the peer-reviewed medical journal The Lancet. Believe it or not, it shows that men who take this test are more likely to die of prostate cancer than men who don't.

How to detect and defeat  NEARLY ANY FORM OF CANCER

It's new, it's called the AMAS test, and nothing else even comes close to it. If your doctor runs it twice, your rate of false positives and false negatives drops to under 1%.

How important is this accuracy? Life or death. For example, if you find prostate cancer early enough, you've got a 99% chance of a cure.

And the test couldn't be easier. The doctor takes a blood sample and screens it for a substance called Anti-Malignan Antibody (AMAS). No squeezing the breasts. No poking around you-know-where.

The antibody is manufactured by your own immune system, in response to any common kind of cancer cell.

Thus, if you simply test for AMAS, you can reliably surmise when cancer is lurking somewhere in your body. And get treatment before it spreads.

Breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, name it...your chances for beating any of these cancers has suddenly skyrocketed!

Exciting? You bet. If there's any cancer in your family, AMAS should absolutely be part of your own regular checkup.
TODAY'S DEADLIEST CANCER-PREVENTION MYTH. You're probably following it at meal-time and hating every minute of it...

THE BEST CANCER PREVENTIVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF, a beverage that cuts off the blood supply to start-up cancer cells...

AND THE REAL 'MAGIC BULLET,' a laser-light therapy that can make chemotherapy obsolete, destroying cancer cells without harming healthy ones.

Then you'll learn about today's most popular form of SUICIDE...

Want to kill yourself trying to  AVOID HEART DISEASE?

Then just obey the Food Police and eat a VERY LOW-FAT DIET.

I've been cautioning my readers about this for years and now I'm even hearing agreement from the Chairman of the Nutrition Committee of the American Heart Association. Even he now admits that a very low-fat diet can be harmful to many people! So unless you've actually been tested and found to have a very specific condition called 'pattern B LDL,' be careful to get enough animal fat in your diet.

At this point patients often ask me,'But how can I keep my cholesterol down?' Well, maybe you should be more concerned about getting it higher. Because...

LOW CHOLESTEROL can be much deadlier than high cholesterol

Here too, even the American Heart Association is now admitting...

LOW CHOLESTEROL CAN TRIGGER THE DEADLIEST KIND OF STROKE. It's called a 'massive stroke,' and it happens when blood vessels in your brain are so weak, they burst open.

EVEN MODERATELY LOW CHOLESTEROL LEVELS can raise your risk of these strokes. By this, I mean under 200. Yet many doctors routinely prescribe cholesterol-lowering drugs if it's over 200!

No wonder the British Medical Journal recently announced:

'CHOLESTEROL SCREENING IS NOT WORTHWHILE!'

When they actually looked at the figures, guess what? Folks with lower cholesterol were just about as likely to develop heart disease as those with higher levels. It simply doesn't matter.

So what's the real cause of heart disease? Well, for one thing:

Too little RED MEAT in your diet

See how pleasant real health can be? Your friends might say 'YOU'RE NUTS,' but the actual biochemistry behind my EAT LIKE A HUMAN diet is now endorsed by just about every serious heart researcher.

You see, of all the different substances they can measure in your blood, the deadliest risk factor for heart disease is not cholesterol, but a chemical called HOMOCYSTEINE. Because...

Cholesterol doesn't do diddly unless it 'catches' on a ridge or a pit in your artery walls. And the secret cause of these 'cholesterol traps' is homocysteine. Too much homocysteine and your arteries corrode like a rusty pipe.

But it's so easy to cut down your homocysteine levels! Three vitamins do the trick quickly, including vitamins B6 and B12. And by far the richest source of these vitamins is...

You got it. Red meat .

Then you'll learn all about:

HOW TO EXPAND NARROW ARTERIES almost instantly, after any meal, with a nutrient pill that goes to work in seconds...

HOW TO CLEAN OUT DISEASED ARTERIES permanently and make them flow free again, without surgery, diet or any drugs at all...
COMMON INFECTIONS that cause many heart attacks, and the little-known treatment that kills these dangerous germs...

And the next time you hear anyone say 'HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY PREVENTS HEART DISEASE,' be a good friend and set them straight:

HRT can DOUBLE a woman's risk of heart disease

In a recent study of 2,000 women who had suffered heart attacks, taking estrogen doubled their risk of further problems.

Understand, I am not saying that Hormone Replacement Therapy is bad for your heart. It's just that most menopausal women are receiving the wrong mix of hormones. Doctors are flooding their systems with too much estrogen and progesterone, usually dangerous synthetics, when in fact...

The heart-healthy hormone women need is TESTOSTERONE

Forget what everyone told you about 'male' and 'female' hormones. As any first-year medical student should know, both women and men produce all the very same types of sex hormones.

It's just the proportion that's different . Healthy women produce more estrogen and progesterone...men make more testosterone...but all of us need some of each to stay healthy.

Testosterone, not estrogen , is the hormone that keeps your heart strong. If you're a woman over 50, there's a good chance your levels are too low (just as in men over 50).
Do look into it. Not only is it better for your heart, but it may also reverse osteoporosis.

It's even been shown in some to cut breast cancer risk by 90%.

Now what about men? Well, don't let anyone tell you that 'MEN HAVE TOO MUCH TESTOSTERONE.' Because...

What doctors don't tell you about testosterone isn't just stealing your potency. IT'S KILLING MILLIONS OF MEN EVERY YEAR.

Studies show that many American men over 40 actually suffer a dangerous testosterone deficiency. Yet doctors typically don't even test for it, because they too are victims of JUNK MEDICINE:

EVERYONE THINKS that testosterone causes heart disease. Yet the research shows it's a fabulous treatment and may even prevent strokes.

EVERYONE FEARS that testosterone promotes prostate disease. Yet studies show that both benign swelling and cancer typically strike older men, with declining testosterone levels.

EVERYONE ASSUMES that the state-of-the-science treatment for impotence is Viagra. While it can help, all-natural testosterone can make you feel and perform like a 21-year-old again. And, a combination of the two...wow!

THE REAL MIRACLE FOR ARTHRITIS PAIN

I am not talking about glucosamine or chondroitin. They do work, but their pain-relief power is limited.

The REAL miracle for joint pain and swelling has been sitting right under our noses for decades. I'm certain you've heard of it...

Good old reliable CORTISONE!

Stay with me here. I realize that everyone tells you 'CORTISONE CAN DESTROY YOUR HEALTH,' and so it can...

But so can any other substance, including water. And when cortisone's powers were first discovered, doctors got carried away. They gave huge doses that were bound to be destructive.

Now, one courageous doctor has proved that cortisone can be safe and a Godsend to sufferers . His name is Dr. William Jeffries.

YOUR BODY PRODUCES ITS OWN NATURAL FORM OF CORTISONE, to help it fight stress, injuries and fatigue...

BUT MANY JOINT PAIN SUFFERERS ARE SECRETLY DEFICIENT in this natural form, called hydrocortisone. Simply correct this with very small doses and the results can transform your life.

Better still, this same natural therapy can clear up many other anti-immune problems, like hay fever, asthma and more besides. So do let me show you how to get access to this real health breakthrough. (Warning: I am not talking about Prednisone, which is dangerous.)

How to protect your loved ones from the world's #1 killer

Everyone thinks that today's biggest threats to your life are heart disease and cancer, but surprise...

Germs are back on top again, as a very worried AMA revealed at a conference not long ago.

People who check into hospitals for treatment of other conditions are dying of bacterial pneumonia that antibiotics can't touch. Tuber-culosis has returned to America in drug-resistant strains...

New strains of colds are lasting for months and doctors are publicly worrying that the killer flu which wiped out 20 million people back in 1919 could be reborn any autumn now...

But cheer up, because despite what everyone tells you... Antibiotics are not our most powerful
weapon against infectious disease

They're just the most profitable for drug companies. Right now, however, we already possess an alternative that can blast all the diseases mentioned above and many more to kingdom come.

It's safe, backed by decades of solid research, and boy is it ever cheap.
You can buy it at drugstores everywhere for 65¢ a bottle. So what is this amazing miracle-in-a-bottle?


HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
Go ahead and laugh if you like, but what follows is no joke:

DID YOU KNOW that your own white blood cells produce hydrogen peroxide? Yes they do. Lots of it.

KNOW WHY? Because that's how they kill invading germs. It's your body's first and best defense against any infection. Kills bacteria, viruses, yeast, parasites - all the bad guys.


DON'T BELIEVE ME? Look it up. (Try the Encyclopedia Britannica website. Check the info on 'granulocytes.' See? I told you so.)

BUT HOW? The hydrogen peroxide molecule (H202) is basically water (H20) with an extra oxygen atom attached. When that oxygen gets released against germs, it 'oxidizes' them. Poof, they're goners.


IT WAS BACK IN 1920 that two English doctors in India tried using hydrogen peroxide to stop a pneumonia epidemic. It worked . Patients on the edge of death bounced back to life.

YEARS LATER, THE THERAPY WAS PERFECTED by Charles H. Farr, M.D., P.H.D. He was recently nominated for the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

IN THE 1960s, DOCTORS AT BAYLOR UNIVERSITY proved its safety and effectiveness against many diseases, including such improbable candidates as cancer and hardening of the arteries.

I'VE USED IT IN MY OWN PRACTICE to treat patients suffering from all manner of maladies from influenza and colds to cases of emphysema. It works fast. It works safely. It works, period.

And this shockingly cheap therapy was a real health miracles for my patients in Africa, where the ungodly high cost of drugs condemns millions to death every year.

So how do drug companies get away with selling expensive antibiotics, when we've got this stuff that's nearly free? You'd call me paranoid if I told you.
Getting intrigued? I'm just warming up...

I'd love to brief you on many more JUNK MEDICINE MYTHS to avoid and real health breakthroughs that truly deliver the goods, but I'm out of space.
THE FIBER FRAUD. Doctors were getting positively hysterical about your colon. Fiber this, fiber that. Now it appears that some kinds of fiber can trigger precancerous growths...

HOW TO THROW OFF FATIGUE by throwing out your vitamin C pills and taking the world's most un-hyped vitamin instead.

VITAMIN 'O' AND OTHER JOKES that masquerade as alternative medicine. They say you eat this stuff and it floods your body with oxygen. EAT oxygen? You may as well try to breathe food.

POWER NAPPING FOR FUN AND PROFIT. Napping is fabulous medicine and now you can make it an even more bountiful fountain of health. Winston Churchill, Thomas Edison, Napoleon, JFK and other human dynamos shared this sleepy little secret that can make you smarter, sexier and more productive.

And, to keep you ahead of the HEALTH NAGS and on top of the best new real health breakthroughs in the months ahead...

Don't let self-righteous health sadists nag you to death...

Just give your body what it's begging for!

The Other CoQ10

Today my email came in as The “OTHER” CoQ10 most supplement makers won’t dare tell you about!  And it unveiled that The CoQ10 most people take and the type used in most studies is called “ubiquinone.”
And it is very important for our health because it powers up our heart, brain and vitality in the intra-cellular regions of our body (inside of our cells).

Yet for CoQ10 to be fully utilized by our body, it must be turned into its reduced form, known as “ubiquinol.” In other words — our body needs BOTH forms.

Up to age 40, our body has no trouble converting ubiquinone into ubiquinol. But as we age, this ability decreases. And if our CoQ10 supplement is only giving us one form or the other — we’re missing out (and paying for more than we’re getting).


As we’ll see in just a moment, to get the most out of CoQ10 — we need ubiquinol and ubiquinone to work together...

I myself came to know this product through a late friend of mine while I was in Australia and she was prescribed with such supplement while she was having her operation.  So I also bought a big bottle of it and to be shared with mum.  But I only gave some to mum for the sheer reason that most of my siblings thought I am alienated to their opinions but God knows the best. I can only pray n pray...pray......... and the song just smooth me "Still"   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3wwWFsSlNQ&feature=related  I did everything all for love.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=vMIY__Ydrq8

Upon stumbling on the net I get more source of info from the link regarding CoQ10 here:

Happy reading!

Dr Budwig natural cancer treatment

It has been so disheartening to see close friends, relatives and many others arround the globe afflicted with such debilitating disease, cancer.  Many diagnosed with this incurable cancer only left to send home to die after giving doses of  chemotherapy succumbing to the limited days left over and the close ones ready to mourn.

Today I came accross an article by  Dr. Budwig, after 30 years of study, she observed that the blood of seriously ill cancer patients were deficient in certain nutrients. It was the lack of these nutrients that allowed cancer cells to grow out of control.

By simply eating a combination of two natural and delicious foods not only can cancer be prevented -- but in case after case it was actually healed! "Symptoms of cancer, liver dysfunction, and diabetes were completely alleviated." Remarkably, what Dr. Budwig discovered was a totally natural way for eradicating cancer.

Dr Budwig was born in Germany in 1908. She passed away in 2003 at the age of 95. She has been referred to as a top European Cancer Research Scientist, Biochemist, Blood Specialist, German Pharmacologist, and Physicist. Dr Budwig was a seven-time Nobel Prize nominee.


For over 10 years now her methods have proved effective -- yet she is denied publication -- blocked by the giants who don't want you to read her words.


The two natural food are non other than the flaxseed oil mixed with the cottage cheese. The mixing ratio is two tablespoons of cottage cheese to one tablespoon of oil. Mix only the amount you are consuming at one time so it is mixed fresh each and every time. One example would be to mix (4) tablespoons of cottage cheese to (2) tablespoons of flax oil, consumed twice daily or more depending on the severity of the health condition, one is attempting to address. One should probably start slowly with the oil, maybe just once a day and work their way up letting the body adjust to the protocol. The oil and the cottage cheese must be thoroughly mixed at a low speed, using an Immersion Blender, blending until a creamy texture with no standing oil is achieved.   The following items listed below should be avoided  while on the diet.
(The reason one needs to exclude these items from his / her diet is that they interfere with the diet by lowering the voltage field in the cells.)



Sugar

All animal fats

All meats

Margarine

Butter

Salad dressing oils- exception extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar or lemon

Foods high in Preservatives

Below is an excerpt from youtube of how to make the diet.

Pigs trotters

Pigs' feet: the new superfood.  It sound quite tempting if u r either a Christian denomination or none.  I myself do not like to eat but my spouse loves so much.  I learned to eat it only when I learned to make xiao long bao when the filling called for it. I just found so troublesome to pluck out the silvery furs and the smell of the meat.  I only liked the bones for making delicious soup. Read here for further news. 

Britain agrees deal to sell pigs trotters to China from The Telegraph.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1576184/Britain-agrees-deal-to-sell-pigs-trotters-to-China.html






As Britain's spending on cosmetic surgery soars, Fiona MacDonald Smith suggests it's time that we chopped and changed our diet instead .




The latest anti-ageing food? Pigs' trotters. That's right, you heard it here first. In New York, the most talked-about new opening of the past couple of months has been a Japanese restaurant called Hakata Tonton, where 33 out of the 39 dishes contain pigs' feet.





The reason for this, according to its owner, Himi Okajima, is that they are rich in collagen, the protein responsible for skin and muscle tone, more recognizable to beauty addicts in the form of face creams and fillers.





"Collagen helps your body retain moisture," says Okajima, who has introduced a chain of restaurants specializing in collagen cuisine in Japan . "Your hair and skin will look better, but it's not just for looking beautiful now. If you begin eating collagen in your thirties, you will look younger in your forties."





Maybe this sounds a little improbable ( "It's news to me," sniffs Lisa Miles of the British Nutrition Foundation.. "I've certainly never heard of eating collagen." ) but Okajima believes he is on to something. Figures published last month show that British spending on cosmetic surgery is the highest in Europe, hitting nearly £500 million in 2006, four times more than in 2001.



Isn't there a cheaper solution? Couldn't eating the right foods, in the right way, be a simpler, and ultimately more long-term way to stay looking and feeling younger? "You are what you eat," says nutritional therapist Ian Marber, aka The Food Doctor.





"You can't turn the clock back but you can slow things down. Every cell replicates from RNA and DNA. In order to keep the DNA in good condition, you want to protect cells from harmful free radicals. And for this you need to eat fruit and vegetables, which contain vital anti-oxidants like vitamins A, C, E and zinc.





"It doesn't have to be expensive," he adds. "I know people go on about so-called 'superfoods' which have a greater concentration of anti-oxidants, but two apples a day will give you plenty of vitamins and fibre. You just need to ensure a varied diet."





"The key is to remember we're omnivorous," agrees nutritionist Christian Lee, who is the national trainer for the Dr Nicholas Perricone cosmetics and nutrition empire. "Have you ever noticed how women age more rapidly than men?





That's because they don't eat enough protein. The days you don't eat protein are the days you age. The body can't store protein, but it needs it for cellular production and function





"At each meal you should be able to hold up three fingers and say 'I've got a good source of protein (lean fish or poultry, nuts, seeds or tofu); an essential fatty acid ( Omega 3 or 6, so that's coldwater oily fish, flaxseeds, linseeds ) and a low glycaemic carbohydrate ( fruit, vegetables, and whole grains like quinoa, buckwheat and oatmeal )'. If you can say that, you're on the right road."





Perricone, a dermatologist, became America's most famous anti-ageing specialist with his "Three-Day Nutritional Face Lift", which extolled the virtues of eating wild Alaskan salmon twice a day, claiming its essential fatty acids would banish puffiness and tighten the skin. Uma Thurman, Heidi Klum and J-Lo are all fans.





In his new book Ageless Face, Ageless Mind, which has yet to reach the UK, Dr Perricone's team assert that up to 40 per cent of wrinkles are caused by dietary sugar.





"When you eat high glycaemic carbohydrates like bread, cakes and pasta, they turn into sugar in the blood so fast that the pancreas can't respond with enough insulin and the blood becomes saturated with sugar," argues Christian Lee. "The sugar needs to go somewhere so it attaches itself to the cell membranes.





When it does this to collagen molecules in the skin, it causes the collagen to become stiff and immobile and that's the birth of the wrinkle. The bad news is that it doesn't end there - the sugar then pumps out free radicals, causing a double whammy of damage.





The good news is you can prevent it - either by cutting out sugar or by taking a supplement of alpha lipoid acid, which is 400 times stronger than vitamin C and E combined."





So ditch the sugar, but don't forget the pigs' trotters.





FOODSTUFFS THAT KEEP YOU YOUNG





Spinach contains the pigment lutein, present in the retina, which helps maintain the health of the eye.





Tomatoes contain the anti-oxidant lycopene, which can protect the skin from UV damage from the sun.





Purple or red berries - such as blueberries, raspberries and strawberries - are full of anthocyanins which can help protect against diabetes, heart disease and cancer, and help maintain strong arteries.





Oily fish, such as fresh water salmon, herring, mackerel and sardines, and also flax seeds and linseeds, are the main source of omega-3 fatty acids, which can delay the ageing process of the skin.





Water: drinking more aids digestion and elimination; drinking too little can harm the complexion.





...AND SOME THAT AGE YOU





Carbonated drinks - along with tea, coffee, sugar, red meat and alcohol - can push the body's balance towards the acidic, meaning that alkaline minerals (such as calcium) are removed from bone stores to balance it, weakening the bones. Restricting them may help you keep stronger bones.





Nightshade vegetables - potatoes, tomatoes, chillies, aubergine and peppers - while often healthy in other respects, contain a chemical that studies suggest can activate pain and inflammation associated with arthritis. Avoiding these foods may help reduce it.





Refined carbohydrates - such as white bread, white rice, sugary cereals, pasta and noodles - contribute to the development of type II diabetes, which accelerates the ageing process and, if not controlled, can lead to a wide range of other health problems.

Our Liver

Do u have any idea how the organ liver work inside us? Interesting stuff from my friend who already passed away but I just wanna put it here in remembrance of her. Hope she is Now with all the Angels.

 

Despite keeping your weight down, exercising, and following a balanced diet, free of added sugars, junk foods, and simple carbs and u think u might be doing everything right to avoid insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes and in the pink of health and yes a very clean bill each checking but.....

If you're not getting enough sleep, it may not be doing you a bit of good. Myself is good example and every time I did not get enough sleep my blood sugar and BP level sure elelevated to certain level beyond boundarries though I am not in that catagory called a diabetic or HB sufferer. Thanks God tor that.

From my recent health read:

In a recent study, researchers from Leiden University in the Netherlands checked the insulin levels of nine healthy people after eight hours of sleep. In the second phase of the study, the same subjects slept four hours and their insulin levels were checked again.

Results showed that just this ONE night of inadequate sleep reduced insulin sensitivity by as much as 25 percent in some subjects.

In the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, the authors note that insulin sensitivity is apparently not fixed. Even in healthy people, a single night of poor sleep can temporarily knock everything out of whack.

Of course, one night of late-to-bed, early-to-rise won't prompt type 2 diabetes. But it very well could if that turns into a regular sleep pattern.

Last year, a study showed that people who get an average of less then six hours of sleep each night are more than four times more likely to develop blood sugar dysfunction compared to those who average more than six hours per night.

And that may explain the results of another recent study from the UK.

Researchers at the University of Warwick reviewed 16 sleep studies from various countries, including the U.S., Europe, and East Asia. Two results emerged: 1) Habitual lack of sleep increases risk of premature death by more than 10 percent, and 2) Excessive sleep (an average of more than nine hours each night) is also linked with premature death.

The difference: Too little sleep causes poor health, while too much sleep indicates that a serious health issue (such as hypertension) is already underway.

For some people, the fix for too little sleep is simple: Take this warning seriously and force yourself to turn off the TV, say "good night" to everyone a little earlier, and get adequate rest every night.

Remember that insomnia is a monster that's hard to tame.

My best natural sleeping aid is reading a bible or a story book that ease me into slumber land. Because this is the time my focus are on the words I read and not tending to focus on other subjects and my mind relaxed, so easily into slumber land with a deep sleep pattern. Thanks God for such.

9 ‘harmless’ habits that age you

The following articles was taken from Prevention.com....n ... just read n learn more...


It pretty much goes without saying that smoking cigarettes and frying your skin in the sun make you older, so kudos for quitting and slathering on the sunscreen religiously. But if you’re trying to turn back the clock — or at least slow it down a little — don’t overlook these other habits that may be sabotaging your efforts.

1. You keep your college bedtime
It’s not uncommon for superbusy women to cram a day’s worth of around-the-house to-dos into the late evening hours, a practice that pushes back bedtime into — eep! — "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" territory. The problem with this is that too-little sleep is proving to be really, really bad for your health: Research links it to high blood pressure, diabetes, weight gain, and even just looking tired and older.

Act your age: We’re not saying you need a perfect 8 hours every single night, but make sleep a priority more often and your body will thank you. Everyone's sleep needs are different; to find out what yours are, sleep experts recommend you turn off the alarm clock when you're well rested, and see how long you naturally sleep. (Most people need 7 to 8 hours.)

2. You have a soft spot for sweets
A sugar-packed diet can take its toll on your waistline, but now experts also believe it can make your skin dull and wrinkled too. To blame is a natural process known as glycation, in which the sugar in your bloodstream attaches to proteins to form harmful new molecules called advanced glycation end products (AGEs, for short). The more sugar you eat, the more AGEs you develop; these damage surrounding proteins like collagen and elastin, which keep skin firm and elastic. Once damaged, springy and resilient collagen and elastin become dry and brittle, leading to wrinkles and sagging. These aging effects start at about age 35 and increase rapidly after that, according to a study published in the British Journal of Dermatology.
Act your age: It's not easy to eliminate sugar completely, but limiting added sugar to no more than 10% of total calories can help. If you're a 45-year-old woman of average height (5-foot-4), that's 160 calories (or 10 teaspoons) from added sugar — about the number in one 12-ounce can of Coca-Cola or six Hershey's Kisses. By comparison, the average American consumes 31 teaspoons per day of added sugar, or the equivalent of 465 calories. Watch for stealthy sugar in unexpected foods, like salad dressing. Many prepared foods contain hefty amounts of sugar, but it's hidden under aliases — including barley malt, corn syrup, dextrose, fruit juice concentrate, maltose, maple syrup, molasses, and turbinado — on ingredient panels.
3. You’re stressed more often than not
You don’t feel good when you’re stressed-out — be it from work projects piling up, a miserable commute, issues with the kids, etc. — and there’s good biological proof why you shouldn’t. Stress increases the concentration of the hormones cortisol and norepinephrine in the bloodstream, kicking up blood pressure and suppressing immunity.

Over time, stress that doesn’t go away can delay healing, harden your arteries, and possibly shrink areas of your brain involved in learning, memory, and mood—talk about feeling older!
Act your age: Stress will never go away completely, but how you manage everyday blips can keep hormones on a more even — and healthy — keel. Deep breathing is the top antistress pick of Prevention advisor Andrew Weil, MD: He makes time for it at least twice a day. “It only takes 2 minutes,” he says. “I do it in the morning, when I’m falling asleep in the evening, and anytime I feel upset.” Try it: Exhale strongly through the mouth, making a whoosh sound. Breathe in quietly through the nose for a count of 4. Hold your breath for a count of 7, then exhale with the whoosh for a count of 8. Repeat the cycle 3 more times.

4. You only exercise when trying to lose weight
Exercise is one of the best turn-back-the-clock agents around, but too many of us don’t reap its full benefits because we only associate physical activity with weight loss. If you tend to hit the gym in 2-week stints to shed a few pounds, but then take a few months off from physical activity, you’re missing out on some major health perks. Research shows that vigorous exercisers have longer telomeres — cellular biomarkers that shorten as we age — compared with healthy adults who rarely work out. Being active consistently can help fight brain fog, reduce inflammation, and prevent type 2 diabetes and other chronic conditions that crop up over time.

Act your age: Don’t let your sneakers get dusty. Choose any activity you enjoy — be it walking, cycling, or dancing — and aim for a minimum of 20 to 25 minutes a day. Break it down, if you have to, into two 10-minute sessions. Slowly increase the frequency, duration, and intensity in small increments. If you miss a day, don’t let it become a habit; just pick up again the next day.

Kefir - Live Probiotic Drink

This bottled jar is my first batch of Kefir Drink or the Snow lotus yeast enzyme (天山雪莲) though I have brewed many batches. The grain was given to me by my friend who is also as health conscious as me. In actual fact, before I proceed to brew my kefir drink, I did lots of research from internet. I also came to know that my grandma who is now in Heaven had almost passed away for about 2 decades used to brew Kefir for her consumption. (info from my cousin n aunty) She lived to 90 decades during her earthly live. I tried to introduce to my cousin whose health is deteriorated by the affliction of cancer cells in various parts of her body, moreover the chemotherapy exhausted and debilited her entire body. She stands very enthusiastic to take the kefir drink. Scientist research stated that Molecular formulas showing the two isomers of Lactic Acid: 0 C-OH H-C-OH H-C-O H in Kefir Drink has been shown to have anti-cancer and anti-tumor properties. Research showed that proliferating cancer cells can be at least partially restored to normal function, i.e., healed through reactivating them to normal function by involving the work of lactic acid in the body.

What is Kefir?
Basically, kefir is made by fermentation of the kefir “grains”, which resembles miniature cauliflower florettes that are the size of wheat kernels. These grains consist of casein and gelatinous colonies of micro-organisms that grow together symbiotically. The dominant micro-flora are Saccharomyces kefir, Torula kefir, Lactobacillus caucasicus, Leuconnostoc species and Lactic Streptococci. It is found that yeasts present can multiply on the sugary brown water or in milk for food. Daily consumption not only supports a balanced intestinal eco-system but also influences metabolism and ultimately regulate the health of our immune system. Probiotics bacteria help you digest foods, help keep away harmful pathogenic bacteria and produce a variety of beneficial vitamin B’s. And the present of prebiotic bacteria; the inulin which is fibre helps maintain normal bowel function, decreases constipation, lowers cholesterol and triglycerides, and helps normalize blood sugar levels.


One of the most thorough studies on kefir was conducted by Edward R. Farnworth Food Research and Development Centre,Quebec, Canada. And dated back in the early nineteen century, the best known researcher on Kefir is an international Nobel Prize winner (1908) Russian professor Elie Metchnikoff.

It is believed that Kefir drink enhances one health with its many nutritional benefit to our bodies. For me, I clearly see my heamorrhoids gone though trying in vain of other medication. Since my body do not response much to the original "Medical Maverick" I always tried to dug in my heels and rolled up the sleeves to find more on traditional methods of whatever food appealing to my body and best of all...with a price any shoestring budget can afford.

5 Powerful Foods that Lower Your Blood Pressure

Are you eating enough of these 5 amazing foods that help reduce high blood pressure?
Share this with your loved ones n friends...... (from Frank Mangano)

by Frank Mangano
Consumer Health Advocate
Author of the popular book: Blood Pressure Miracle

What can You Do to Lower Blood Pressure?

You don't need potentially dangerous drugs to control and reduce your blood pressure. Controlling blood pressure levels could be as simple as doing lifestyle modifications and eating healthier.

If you are a smoker, quit. If you drink heavily, try to practice self-control. At work, take the stairs instead of the elevator. And if you have been obsessed with sweet, sugary foods as well as processed fast-food meals, then modify your eating habits as well. Learn to eat the right kinds of food before it's too late.

Below are 5 of my top picks for powerful foods that could help you lower your blood pressure levels:

1. Artichokes
The use of artichokes has been implicated in the lowering of cholesterol levels in the blood. Since hypercholesterolemia is one of the risk factors for high blood pressure, this information is actually good news. Three clinical trials conducted separately by Dr. Barbara Wider supports this fact. In Cochrane Database of Systemic Reviews’ October 2009 issue, where the result of the study was published, it was shown that patients who were diagnosed with hypercholesterolemia and given Artichoke leaf extract exhibited a decrease in their blood cholesterol levels.

Artichokes taste amazing steamed (generally steam for about 1 hour) and then dip each piece into a mixture of olive oil, grass-fed butter, and garlic. Delicious!

2. Bananas
A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine says that incorporating bananas in your day-to-day meals can actually cut stroke-related deaths by as much as 40 percent. A 1997 study at Johns Hopkins University recommended eating at least five bananas daily to achieve the desired effect, and that is to lower elevated blood pressure levels. However, a study conducted by Indian researchers at the Kasturba medical college revealed that people who eat two bananas a day, for one whole week, can lower their blood pressure levels by 10 percent.

Bananas are rich in potassium, which is responsible for the proper functioning of the heart. It works with sodium to maintain balance of the body’s fluids, which is an important factor in the regulation of blood pressure.


3. Beets
A research study conducted by scientists from Barts and The London School Medicine revealed that simply drinking one 500 ml glass of beetroot juice each day can produce astounding health benefits, especially to the heart.

Beetroot juice has been found to lower high blood pressure levels. Professors Amrita Ahluwalia and Ben Benjamin, from the William Harvey Research Institute and Peninsula Medical Center, respectively, led the research efforts, which revealed that the consumption of dietary nitrate that is found in beetroot has BP-lowering effects in as fast as 1 hour after ingestion, with the effect lasting for up to 24 hours. The result of the study was published in the March 2008 issue of Hypertension.

You can try beetroot juice, or also try baked beets sliced on salads or as a side dish to dinner.


4. Cocoa
A study conducted by researchers from Germany’s University Hospital of Cologne revealed that cocoa can significantly lower high blood pressure levels. Study results were published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. The beneficial heart effects of cocoa are attributed to its flavonoid content, specifically procyanids.

Because cocoa is most commonly found in chocolate, people falsely assume that eating a lot of chocolate could be good for the health. Keep in mind that cocoa in chocolates have undergone a lot of processing, and it has been mixed with loads of sugar, so this is not totally healthy. The best way to take advantage of the health benefits offered by cocoa is to choose raw cacao – it is good for the heart, the brain and the liver. Raw cacao nibs go great in smoothies! Also use organic cocoa powder in smoothies or homemade hot cocoa sweetened with stevia instead of sugar.


5. Garlic
Researchers from South Australia’s University of Adelaide have conducted studies, which provide solid proof that the consumption of garlic can indeed help lower elevated blood pressure levels. Garlic supplements in powder form were given and results revealed that it produced a reduction in systolic blood pressure. Garlic has been known all over the world as a very important herb, especially with its heart-protecting capabilities. It helps lower blood cholesterol levels and prevents blood from forming clots (which could lead to heart attack and stroke).

Furthermore, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal has published the results of a laboratory test showing how garlic juice can lead to a decrease in blood pressure levels. Eating the equivalent of 2 cloves of garlic each day can significantly contribute to the health of the heart.

Seasonings That fight Aging

Super Spices
Season your way to better health if u like adding spices into your food or if u r a health conscious guy. We r all vain, painstakingly and haunted by all the medical marvel unveiling to us that a world where devastating aging isn't inevitable. And yet claiming that you can spin back the clock -- Reclaim your looks, reclaim your energy, reclaim your youth but to me I still prefer the natural things out of all nature God provided for us.

From my daily read articles, I learned that a touch of spice might be just what you need to minimize the damage of aging — and even offset the impact of diabetes. Season your way to better health if u like adding spices into your food or if u r a health conscious guy.

New research from the University of Georgia finds that antioxidant-rich herbs and spices can block the formation of harmful compounds that are associated with aging and may inhibit tissue damage caused by high levels of blood sugar. A little spice goes quite a long way, as the antioxidants are extremely concentrated. Here r some herbs and spices keep u looking young.

1. Ground Cloves




Try it in cake or biscuit dough for an added layer of spicy sweetness. I liked to just put it in my mouth n nibble it cos it can cure bateria in the mouth and also good for the teeth, hence no bad breadth. It keeps me awake while driving. I was having acute tooth pain a month ago and from my internet sources, I tried nibbling some in the mouth and subsequently the pain was gone.

2. Ground Jamaican Allspice



'Allspice’ has been given for its aromatic flavor that seems to be a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves is known to have aromatic and sweet smell and hence it forms an important condiment in kitchens across the world. I like to put in ginger cakes, apple pies or even to marinade with chicken or any meat.

Allspice is known for its carminative, anti-inflammatory, warming, soothing and anti-flatulent properties and a good source of niacin, helping the body in detoxifying harmful compounds. It is also rich in vitamin c which is a powerful natural antioxidant that aids in providing resistance against infectious agents and iron that is required for red cell production in the bone marrow. Having a good source of potassium that helps the body to control heart rate and blood pressure by regulating the balance of sodium in the body blood system. With it high contain of manganese acting as a co-factor for the powerful antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase, by the body. It is also known to increase digestion power, by increasing gastro-intestinal secretions. It can only taken in small amount and not so frequently. Nonetheless, individuals with history of cancer or those who are a risk of cancer should not delve on this herb as Eugenol, a substance found in it, can promote cancer.

3. Ground Cinnamon



I like to spread it on whole wheat toast drizzled with honey and the stick used for curry chicken or with the 5 spices chicken or meat.

Benefit of taking cinnamon ( refer to my post dated : 18/8/10; cinnamon with honey )

4. Ground Oregano



I like to put on top of homemade garlic bread or pizza which is my favorite flour made.

Oregano is an aromatic herb that belongs to the ming family.

Its strong antiviral and antibacterial properties can help destroy organisms that contribute to skin infections, and it also has antiparisitic properties which is helpful in digestive problems. It can strengthen the immune system and helps increase the joint and muscles flexibility. It is learned that it improves respiratory health.
Oil of Oregano when applied topically can help treat skin infections, itchy skin and irritated gums, (but make sure it has been diluted because oregano oil is concentrated and can cause burning sensation to tongue or skin).
Oregano oil helps in the treatment of sinus or lung congestion. Just mix 2 or 3 drops of oil with juice, and drink this daily, you can notice the improvement within 3-5days.
Oregano has antioxidant properties more than apple or bluberries which play a vital role in the prevention of many forms of cancer, as well as perhaps slowing down the aging process.

Fresh oregano like other leafy vegetables is loaded with vitamins and nutrients. It is a good source of iron and manganese as well as calcium, vitamin C, and vitamin A. It also has omega-3 fatty acids.

The dried leaves can also be applied in bags as a warm application to painful arthritic
swellings and other conditions, including rheumatism.



Oregano is rich in fiber too.

Traditional way to reduce cholesterol

Below is a recipe someone shared with me a traditional way on reducing cholesterol. I heard from a friend that someone managed to avoid a bypass surgery after he drank this soup every morning for 25 days!
For the normal person, just drink it once in a while..

RECIPE FOR REDUCING CHOLESTEROL Ingredients:
1) black fungus (80g)
2) old ginger (80g)
3) red dates (10)

Method:
1) Soak the black fungus in water until it is soft and then wash it clean.
2) Cut the ginger (without removing the skin) into roughly 8 slices.
3) Remove the seeds from the red dates.
4) Put all the ingredients into a slow cooker.
5) Add in 8 cups of water into the cooker.
6) Cook the mixture for 6 hours using low heat.

Note: It is best to prepare this in the evening and start cooking before you
go to bed. If you start cooking at say 9 pm, the soup should be ready for drinking by 6 am. This was how I tried it few years back for my hubby n it sound applicable which helped to lower his cholesterol.

Potatoes

Just read the above article from my email box n found that now nutritionists are promoting potatoes. Actually potatoes are good with low glycemic index and good for the diabetes. I still prefered local potatoes, espcially the purple ones and the Japanese types.

Click to the above link what the Executive Director of the Washington State Potato Commission promote potatoes instead of the junk food.
