I was introduced to Dan Shen a few months back. No, it's not a man who I met, it's an amazing herb that is part of my program for improving my heart. I added a few nutrients to my life extension program that have had a very powerful impact on my progress. As I mentioned the other day, I added Serrapeptase, which removes scar tissue, fibroid tissue, and plaque and Salvia Miltiorrhiza (Dan Shen), who's attributes are mentioned below.
Would your cardiologist ever recommend these nutrients?
At a recent conference of heart specialists, this is what happened when Dr. Zi stated to the crowd that as much as 80% of heart operations could have been eliminated by the use of Dan Shen. Four or five surgeons got up and left the class, never to return!
You can't blame them I guess, but perhaps if you were in the room with heart problems and were waiting for an operation, maybe your ears would have perked up and your note pad would have come out, ready for every word you could discern. I know it would have gotten my attention...
This is why I recommend taking charge of your own health, as nobody cares more about your health than you do.
You're never too old to get younger!!!

The Amazing Heart Normalizing Action Of Dan Shen...
Serous heart problems such as angina, arrhythmias, repeated episodes of “A-Fib” and other heart disorders can actually be eliminated with a single whole herb called Salvia miltiorrhiza known in China as Dan Shen. This is accomplished safely and remarkably fast. Dan Shen is one of those herbs that Big Pharma tries to “bury under the rug” because of the threats it poses on all the “wonderful FDA approved” heart drugs.
Newly Approved Cardiovascular Treatment in China Features Same Active Ingredient as Technical Sourcing’s MSV 60...
One of the most significant remedies in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dan Shen has been the subject of research at the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica (SIMM), a unit of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, since 1992. On May 25, the SFDA approved a new drug application for depsides salts from Salvia miltiorrhiza, with magnesium lithospermate B as the primary active compound, for the potential treatment of chronic angina. The approval came on the heels of years of clinical trials showing that the standardized extract significantly reduced myocardial infarct size (the portion of the heart muscle that is damaged by insufficient blood supply) and lessened myocardial injury, lowered the oxygen consumption of the heart muscle in tissue and animal studies, and reduced platelet aggregation (blood cell stickiness) and thrombosis (blood clot) formation.
Preventing A Broken Heart: Research Aims To Reduce Scarring From Heart Attacks...
A heart damaged by heart attack is usually broken, at least partially, for good. The injury causes excessive scar tissue to form, and this plays a role in permanently keeping heart muscle from working at full capacity. Now researchers have identified a key molecule involved in controlling excessive scar tissue formation in mice following a heart attack. When they stopped the scarring from occurring, the scientists found that the animals' heart function greatly improved following the injury.
Serrapeptase - A 2nd Gift from Silkworms...
The natural Chelation-Anti-Inflammatory Serrapeptase has had wide clinical use - spanning over twenty-five years throughout Europe and Asia - as a viable alternative to salicylates, ibuprofen and the more potent NSAIDs. Unlike these drugs, Serrapeptase is a naturally occurring, physiological agent with no inhibitory effects on prostaglandins and is devoid of gastrointestinal side effects. Serrapeptase digests non-living tissue, blood clots, cysts, and arterial plaque and inflammation in all forms. The late German physician, Dr. Hans Nieper, used Serrapeptase to treat arterial blockage in his coronary patients. Serrapeptase protects against stroke and is reportedly more effective and quicker than EDTA Chelation treatments in removing arterial plaque. He also reports that Serrapeptase dissolves blood clots and causes varicose veins to shrink or diminish. Dr. Nieper told of a woman scheduled for hand amputation and a man scheduled for bypass surgery who both recovered quickly without surgery after treatment with Serrapeptase.
Inflamed Gums Linked To Heart Disease...
The next person who reminds you to floss might be your cardiologist instead of your dentist. Scientists have known for some time that a protein associated with inflammation (called CRP) is elevated in people who are at risk for heart disease. But where's the inflammation coming from?

Let's start health reform for ourselves and our family, starting today!!!
We really do need health reform in this country. Instead of treating disease after it occurs we need to develop programs that prevent disease and therefore give us a better overall life for a longer period of time.
Does it makes sense to wait until your car breaks down before you maintain it?
Would you be considered smart to wait until your roof leaks before you repair it?
Do you wait until your checking account goes below zero before you add more funds?
In most every other area of life most people make preventative decisions that keep them from harms way. But when it comes to health we are taught by modern medicine to wait until we show signs of disease and then begin to treat it. It is a ridiculous position if you actually stop to think about it.
Perhaps it is because people still think there is no science behind supplementation and eating the right diet. I do my best every week to educate you otherwise and to think prevention.
NSI updated their Synergy Cardio Multi recently and I really like it. It contains many of the nutrients that I blog on all the time in therapeutic amounts and it is affordable for most everyone. For about $1.30 a day you can have incredible protection.
Take a look at this new product and see what I mean.

Cancer Preventive Properties Identified In Resveratrol, Found In Red Wine, Red Grapes...
Early laboratory research has shown that resveratrol, a common dietary supplement, suppresses the abnormal cell formation that leads to most types of breast cancer, suggesting a potential role for the agent in breast cancer prevention. Resveratrol is a natural substance found in red wine and red grapes. It is sold in extract form as a dietary supplement at most major drug stores.
Is Your Health Condition Linked to This Deficiency?...
“Stay out of the sun.” This dictate has become a cardinal rule of anti-aging, and chances are good that you’ve heard it from your doctor more than once. But recently, the medical community has started to reconsider this particular issue, and the reason can be traced directly back to calciferol—better known as vitamin D. It’s impossible to overstate the importance of adequate vitamin D intake. Years ago, scientists lauded it for its critical role in bone health. Today, however, we know that vitamin D might actually be the single most important vitamin in your body.
Is Vitamin C Harmful to Cancer Patients?...
In a recent presentation at the American Cancer Society meeting, Dr. David Golde of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center speculated that supplemental vitamin C may be harmful to cancer patients. Dr. Golde had previously shown how vitamin C gets into and accumulates in cancer cells. Golde and others are concerned that the extra vitamin C in cancer cells may enhance their growth or protect them from the cell-killing free radicals produced by radiation and some chemotherapeutic drugs.
The "Peanut Butter Diet": Heart-Healthy Alternative To Olive Oil...
ScienceDaily (Nov. 23, 1999) — Cholesterol-lowering, low fat diets have abounded in recent years in the quest to reduce the risk of heart disease, the most familiar being the American Heart Association's "Step II" diet, which confines dietary fat to less than 25% of calories and replaces the lost fat with carbohydrates. But recent research into the effects of monounsaturated fats (MUFAs, found in olive and certain other oils) suggests that low fat may not necessarily be the best way to ensure a healthy heart. Kris-Etherton and her colleagues at Pennsylvania State University made an across-the-board comparison of three diets: the Step II diet (25% fat), a diet high in MUFAs ( 34-36% fat), and the average American diet (34% fat). The high MUFA diets decreased cardiovascular risk by an average of 20.6%, versus a 12% reduction in risk for the Step II diet.
Vitamin C Lowers Levels Of Inflammation Biomarker Considered Predictor Of Heart Disease...
ScienceDaily (Nov. 14, 2008) — A new study led by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, adds to the evidence that vitamin C supplements can lower concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), a central biomarker of inflammation that has been shown to be a powerful predictor of heart disease and diabetes. The same study found no benefit from daily doses of vitamin E, another antioxidant.
Black raspberries slow cancer by altering hundreds of genes...
New research strongly suggests that a mix of preventative agents, such as those found in concentrated black raspberries, may more effectively inhibit cancer development than single agents aimed at shutting down a particular gene. Researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center examined the effect of freeze-dried black raspberries on genes altered by a chemical carcinogen in an animal model of esophageal cancer. The carcinogen affected the activity of some 2,200 genes in the animals’ esophagus in only one week, but 460 of those genes were restored to normal activity in animals that consumed freeze-dried black raspberry powder as part of their diet during the exposure.
93 Percent of Women with Infertility are Deficient in Vitamin D...
A new study conducted at Yale University School of Medicine reveals that vitamin D deficiency is strongly correlated with infertility. (Most likely, it causes infertility.) And rather than infertile women being pumped full of chemicals for conventional infertility treatments, what they really need is safe, simple, low-cost vitamin D. Of course, infertility treatment centers can't charge women $20,000 for vitamin D (like they do for in-vitro fertilization procedures), so they don't recommend it. They'd rather women remain vitamin D deficient so they can keep selling them expensive infertility treatments. Vitamin D is, without question, the miracle nutrient of the century.
Breast Cancer Rates Soar after Mammograms and Some Cancers may Heal Naturally...
A report just published in the Journal of the American Medical Association’s Archives of Internal Medicine (Arch Intern Med. 2008;168[21]:2302-2303) reaches a startling conclusion. Breast cancer rates increased significantly in four Norwegian counties after women there began getting mammograms every two years. In fact, according to background information in the study, the start of screening mammography programs throughout Europe has been associated with increased incidence of breast cancer.
Micronutrient Deficiency Responsible for Cancer and other Diseases, Proclaims Scientist ...
Deficiencies in micronutrients arising from a high-calorie, nutrient-poor diet may be responsible for many modern health problems from cancer to obesity, a health researcher has proclaimed.
Ames told a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science that a diet rich in junk food, which has lots of calories but few vitamins and minerals, forces to body to enter a "crisis mode," designed to keep the body alive over the short term. The problem is that this leads the body to neglect its own long-term survival, including tasks such as repairing regular DNA damage and maintaining a healthy immune system."DNA damage increases deficiency of each of the 15 micronutrients that have been examined in humans, primary human cells in culture or in rodents," Ames said. "These deficiencies are associated with cancer."
NCI's Flawed SELECT Study Attacks Vitamin E...
The National Cancer Institute's (NCI) SELECT study (Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial) for prostate cancer in men was halted this week after initial data analysis showed that selenium and vitamin E, taken alone or together for an average of five years, did not prevent prostate cancer. Since the goal of SELECT was to prove a 25% risk reduction, and since early data suggested such a result was unlikely, the trial was stopped. Furthermore, the researchers felt that there were non-statistically significant possible risks: "there were slightly more cases of prostate cancer in men taking only vitamin E and slightly more cases of diabetes in men taking only selenium. Neither of these findings proves an increased risk from the supplements and may be due to chance."
Carnitines—Better Than Testosterone for Impotence ...
The Italians, it could be said, are in love with amore. Where there’s love, of course, there tends to be sex, so it seems fair to say that Italians have more than a passing interest in mankind’s favorite pastime. All of which may or may not have anything to do with the fact that some recent studies on the subject of sexual function (dysfunction, actually) were conducted by a team of Italian researchers in Ferrara, Bologna, Fermo (Ascoli Piceno), and Rome. Two of the scientists are the inventors of a patented process involving the combined use of two chemical compounds, propionyl-L-carnitine (PLC) and acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC), “for the therapy of symptoms associated with partial androgen deficiency of the aging male.”

READ THIS LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT... How to survive a heart attack and repair the damage over time...
Six years ago I had severe heart damage due to inflammation from bacteria in my blood. Deep cleaning and root canal work along with amalgam removal at the dentist all had an effect in creating my condition. We now know that antibiotics are critical before and after major dental work, especially when you have a heart mummer or a history of Rheumatic Fever when you were a child. That being said, this year I had a heart attack (Infarction) and dealt with it in my home myself. (I don't recommend this for anyone else, so don't try this at home).
I survived because of the things I do right. 50% of people who get heart attacks have normal cholesterol levels. Did you know that? Why did I have a heart attack? I am not sure exactly. I had a stressful year, losing my only brother to lung cancer and being with him until his last breath. Financial concerns, who knows for sure...
I experimented on myself, as I do orthomolecularly, and made some quick changes. Perhaps that had an influence. But I take a life extension program and it made the difference that allowed me to survive the attack at home. A recent study showed that hearts that had been treated with resveratrol recovered in pretty good shape from what would have been a lethal heart attack. My recovery is nothing less than miraculous in many ways as I continue to do the right things, with a few new additions, to help my heart to regenerate. One new addition is an enzyme called Serrapeptase. Click here to see how this enzyme can help the body remove dead tissue (scar tissue) so new healthy tissue can come in.
Now I know when I say things like this people start to wonder if I am sane. Everyone knows the heart doesn't repair itself after damage, it just becomes enlarged to compensate and over works the good tissue that is left. Right? NO... I have the advantage of knowing cases where supplementation of certain nutrients actually reversed enlarged hearts and where bad electrocardiograms became good ones within 4 to 6 months. There have been many cardiologists in the last few years who have started treating and preventing heart disease as well as Type 2 diabetes, Alzheimers, and Cancer prevention in a whole new way. One recent book just came out that I just read this week. It is called A CARDIOLOGIST'S GUIDE TO ANTI-AGING, ANTIOXIDANTS, and RESVERATROL. The author of this 150 page book is a cardiologist by the name of Dr. Gruss.
Dr. Gruss explains in easy-to-understand language the real causes of chronic illnesses and what you can do to avoid them. Dr. Gruss is concerned that although research scientists have proven the connection between inflammation, oxidation, and chronic diseases, many doctors and their patients simply aren't getting the message. I have recommended programs on my Anti-Aging page that incorporate all that is written in his book.
SPECIAL OFFER...
If you e-mail me at cww@cwiechert.com, and ask me, I will e-mail you free (a $30.00 value) a PDF version of his book. It is a must read for anyone wanting to prevent and reverse chronic disease. If I could have written the book myself I would have made no changes. His information is spot on. And it is backed by all the recent studies I have blogged about in the last few years.
E-mail me today for your copy. It is my gift to all of you. The gift of good health. Forward this offer to anyone you love that may have an interest.

Heart Regenerates After Infarction: First Trials With Mice...
ScienceDaily (Dec. 13, 2008) — Up until today scientists assumed that the adult heart is unable to regenerate. Now, researchers and cardiologists from the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch and the Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin (Germany) have been able to show that this dogma no longer holds true.
Mayo Clinic Proves New Heart Muscle Cells Can Come From Bone Marrow...
ScienceDaily (Mar. 11, 2003) — ROCHESTER, Minn. -- Mayo Clinic researchers have proven for the first time that cells produced by the bone marrow can form new heart-muscle cells in adults, providing an important boost to research that could enable the body to replace heart muscle damaged by heart attack. The findings are now available online and will be published tomorrow in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.
Damaged heart? Grow around it!...
Researchers are racing to heal injured hearts by using stem cells from outside the heart, and maybe even ones inside it.
An idea that was mere fantasy just a few years ago - growing new tissue to replace damaged or diseased heart muscle - is now one of the hottest areas of on-the-horizon cardiology research. Teams around the world are trying to mend broken hearts by injecting or infusing primitive stem cells or muscle cells into the heart or by rousing the heart to repair itself.
THE SECRET FACTOR...
The key to all of this depends on this...
This study adds a credible piece to the puzzle:Richard T. Lee, M.D., senior author of a study published by the American Heart Association says: "We have been taught for decades that when your heart cells are dead, they are dead and there is nothing we can do about it.We are excited about anything suggesting that we can grow more heart cells."Lee and his colleagues tested 880 bioactive substances – including drugs and vitamins – approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to see if they stimulated the mouse stem cells to become heart muscle cells. The cells were genetically altered to give off a fluorescent bright green color when viewed under a microscope if they had become heart muscle cells."We only got 1 out of the 880 to light up, and that was from ascorbic acid, the chemical commonly known as vitamin C," says Lee, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, and a lecturer in biological engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass.

An idea that was mere fantasy just a few years ago - growing new tissue to replace damaged or diseased heart muscle - is now one of the hottest areas of on-the-horizon cardiology research. Teams around the world are trying to mend broken hearts by injecting or infusing primitive stem cells or muscle cells into the heart or by rousing the heart to repair itself.
THE SECRET FACTOR...
The key to all of this depends on this...
This study adds a credible piece to the puzzle:Richard T. Lee, M.D., senior author of a study published by the American Heart Association says: "We have been taught for decades that when your heart cells are dead, they are dead and there is nothing we can do about it.We are excited about anything suggesting that we can grow more heart cells."Lee and his colleagues tested 880 bioactive substances – including drugs and vitamins – approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to see if they stimulated the mouse stem cells to become heart muscle cells. The cells were genetically altered to give off a fluorescent bright green color when viewed under a microscope if they had become heart muscle cells."We only got 1 out of the 880 to light up, and that was from ascorbic acid, the chemical commonly known as vitamin C," says Lee, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, and a lecturer in biological engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass.

Einstein researchers find that vitamin D may protect against peripheral artery disease...
(BRONX, NY) – People with low vitamin D levels may face an increased risk for peripheral artery disease (PAD), according to researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University. The scientists reported their findings at the American Heart Association’s Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology Annual Conference 2008.
PAD is a common disease that occurs when arteries in the legs become narrowed by fatty deposits, causing pain and numbness and impairing the ability to walk. PAD affects about eight million Americans and is associated with significant disease and death, according to the American Heart Association.
MYTH: Sunbathing Is Bad for Your Health...
It seems like I've been talking forever about the enormous benefits of increasing your vitamin D levels and sun exposure. Studies over the last seventy years have linked low levels of vitamin D with various health problems including cancer, osteoporosis and osteomalacia in adults (resulting in hip and vertebral fractures), rickets in children, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, hearing loss, high blood pressure, psoriasis, heart disease, and diabetes. As I discussed in the previous section, studies have confirmed that vitamin D and sun exposure can protect against infectious diseases. Yep, you read right, read it again! And you have always heard that sun could could cause cancer - right? Well if you backed yourself like a potato in the sun that is true. All you need is 20 minutes a day, but read on for the full story.
Green Tea Prevents Deathly Plaque Formation In Parkinson's And Alzheimer's - First Results In The Test Tube And With Cell Models...
The substance ECGC (Epigallocatechin-3-gallate) from green tea can redirect the deadly process which leads to the accumulation of protein aggregates in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. EGCG modulates a cascade of protein misfolding in such a way that the formation of deadly plaques is interrupted, and harmless protein structures emerge instead. Researchers of the Max Delbrueck Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch, a national research laboratory of the Helmholtz Association in Germany have made this discovery in the test tube and in cell models.
Researchers Discover That A Protein In Grape Skins Can Kill Cancer Cells...
It's well known that drinking red wine in moderation can have some health benefits, mainly attributed to a compound called resveratrol. Now, scientists at the University of Virginia Health System have discovered how. They found how resveratrol helps to starve cancer cells by inhibiting the action of a key protein that feeds them. The protein, called nuclear factor- kappa B (NF-kB), is found in the nucleus of all cells and activates genes responsible for cell survival. "We used physiologically-relevant doses of resveratrol and found dramatic effects on human cancer cells," said Marty Mayo, assistant professor of biochemistry and molecular genetics at U.Va.
Resveratrol Slows Aging in Animal Study...
The polyphenol resveratrol slows aging in mice, according to the results of a new study that confirms the red wine component’s ability to mimic caloric restriction.
Past studies have shown that resveratrol in high doses can extend lifespan in invertebrates and prevent early mortality in mice fed a high-fat diet. In the new study, researchers fed mice either a control diet, a diet that included low-dose resveratrol (4.9 mg kg-1 day-1), or a calorie-restricted diet from the time the animals were middle age to old age.
Solid Tumor Cells Not Killed By Radiation And Chemotherapy Become Stronger...
Because of the way solid tumors adapt the body's machinery to bring themselves more oxygen, chemotherapy and radiation may actually make these tumors stronger. "In a sense, these therapies can make the tumor healthier," said Mark W. Dewhirst, D.V.M., Ph.D., professor of radiation oncology at Duke University Medical Center. "Unless the treatment is very effective in killing many if not most tumor cells, you are shooting yourself in the foot."
Epigenetics, you, and 2 generations out... Take 7 minutes and watch this amazing video...
Your diet, or whether you take supplements like B-Complex, vitamin D, zinc, selenium and many other proteins and phytonutirents have an amzing effect on obesity and type 2 diabetes as well as other diseases. The study of Epigenetics explains why diet and proper supplementation are critical to not only our health, but the health of our children, 2 generations out.

Acrylamides From Fried, Grilled Foods Linked to Ovarian Cancer ...
Women who eat approximately one portion of chips a day have twice the chance of developing ovarian or endometrial cancer as women who eat less acrylamide-containing food, according to a new study conducted by researchers at the University of Maastricht, Netherlands, and published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology.
Low-Dose Resveratrol Prevents Cardiac Aging...
Based on the functional analysis of gene-expression profiles in multiple tissues, we postulate that both CR and resveratrol impact pathways that determine chromatin remodeling, perhaps in response to a metabolic stress signal. The ensuing alteration in chromosome architecture and transcription [genetic information transfer from DNA to RNA] may . . . retard some aspects of the aging process in the long term. Understanding the pathways that influence the expression of genes involved in chromatin remodeling and transcription in response to both CR and resveratrol may therefore provide key insights into the molecular basis of aging in mammals. . . . Our studies suggest that dietary consumption of a low dose of resveratrol partially mimics CR and inhibits some aspects of the aging process.
Food Compounds That Kill Test-Tube Cancer Cells Analyzed...
Strawberries, grapes, blueberries and some familiar seasonings like rosemary contain compounds that can—in test tubes—kill cells of a childhood cancer. Nutrition-focused research by molecular biologist Susan J. Zunino of the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Western Human Nutrition Research Center (WHNRC), Davis, Calif., may reveal exactly how the powerful plant chemicals fight the disease known as acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Four Ways Milk Causes Acne ...
We all know the advertisements where celebrities sport the milk mustache and ask `Got Milk?`. However studies suggest that a more accurate question would be: `Got milk? Got acne?` This article explores how hormones and allergenic proteins in milk could contribute to acne.At least three large-scale studies reported in the American Journal of Dermatology found a link between drinking milk and acne. NaturalNews reported about a study that found those who drank two or three glasses of milk a day had 44% higher chance of developing severe acne.
Could heart-healthy pistachios be the new pomegranate?...
Pistachio growers in the US are hoping that as another study emerges highlighting the health benefits of pistachios, the nuts may gain the kind of consumer recognition pomegranates have achieved in recent years. According to research carried out at Penn State University and presented this week at the American Dietetic Association Food and Nutrition conference in Chicago, pistachios significantly reduce inflammation at a cellular level – a recognised risk factor for heart disease – as well as reducing cholesterol and blood pressure.

If you have amalgam fillings, or have ever had amalgam fillings, this Blog is directed to you and is a must read...
Amalgam fillings are a cheap way to fill cavities and have been used since I was born, at least 57 years ago. I know because I had some put in when I was a child. We have now come to understand that they can cause mercury poisoning which over time can create lots of health issue. In fact I believe my trip to the dentist 6 years ago that created my heart issues was compounded by the fact that my amalgams were removed, and bacteria as well as mercury was allowed to go into my blood stream and did damage to my mitral valve that created cardiac arrhythmia, or AFIB. Dentists are now recommending antibiotics and are safely removing amalgams, understanding just how important it is.
There is a patient who had severe mitral valve prolapse. A 35-year old banker who could not walk more than 20 metres without getting cyanosed, blue from lack of oxygen. Five cardiologists and surgeons suggested open heart surgery immediately. He decided against the surgery and went to the DaVinci Clinic in Cyrus to see Dr. George Gorgiou. A central part of the pathology was severe mercury toxicity of the heart tissues - he had 14 amalgams removed that were poisoning him in the process which caused severe mitral valve prolapse.
With the correct treatment not only did this man survive but nearly a year later he is now wind surfing 12 miles in competitions and came first two weeks ago in a race with two others. He is working a full life etc. The patient actually has registered with the Guiness Book of Records as being the only man on this planet who has completely healed of severe mitral valve prolapse without open-heart surgery. Dr. Georgiou is a naturopathic doctor whose speciality is chelation of heavy metals. His program includes Chlorella and other modalities.
While dentists don't all agree on whether amalgams are safe or not, they are required to treat them as hazardous waste when they are removed from teeth, so you be the judge.
VIDEO - FDA sounds the alarm on Amalgam Mercury Fillings.
Smokers also tend to have high cadmium and arsenic levels as well as other heavy metals and they can also be gotten for municipal water supplies and wells.
And, all of have as much as 1000 times the levels of lead in our bones due to lead contamination from the air we breath to lead paint we may have been exposed to.
According to Scientific American, physicians for decades have grappled with ways to block further tissue damage in patients who suffer heart attacks and are effected by mercury poisoning. They have tried everything from drugs to cell therapy—all with little luck. But promising new research indicates that a biogel made from seaweed may have the healing powers that have thus far eluded them.
Some of the principle healing agents in seaweed are magnesium, iodine, and selenium.
Dr. B. West says, “Iodine supplementation may be the missing link in a good percentage of heart arrhythmia cases, especially atrial fibrillation. The body needs adequate stores of iodine for the heart to beat smoothly. After close to a year now of using Iodine Fulfillment Therapy, I can attest to this fact. Most of the stubborn cases of cardiac arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation that we were unable to completely correct with our cardiac protocols have now been resolved with adequate supplies of iodine added to the protocol.”
Please take a few minutes and view the information and videos below. If you suspect that you might have symptoms of metal toxicity, many health practitioners recommend removing amalgams and replacing them with gold crowns or other non toxic options and then taking a program to chelate out heavy metals from your tissues.
Iodine, selenium and magnesium from seaweed and chlorella as well as EDTA, all have the ability to chelate mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic, as it does other inorganic toxic trace minerals. They can together even remove Percolate, the halogen like rocket fuel polluting half of North America.
Scientific Studies Concerning Mercury Dental Fillings
Prepared by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology
www.iaomt.org
1. Mercury is a very toxic substance-- more toxic than lead, cadmium, or arsenic.
2. At least seventeen separate studies have confirmed that dental patients absorb a daily dose of mercury derived from their mercury fillings. Mercury is not rendered chemically inert in dental fillings.
3. On average, eighty percent of the mercury inhaled into the lungs is absorbed into the bloodstream.
4. The general population in America absorbs more mercury from dental fillings than from any other source. Studies demonstrate that two-thirds of the mercury absorbed by non-occupationally exposed populations is derived from amalgam fillings.
5. The mercury absorbed from dental fillings exceeds published government toxic thresholds for mercury.
6. A specific no-observed-effect level (NOEL) cannot be established, meaning that no level can be established at which mercury does not adversely affect the body.
7. Peer-reviewed studies have established that adverse health affects have been associated with mercury vapor derived from amalgam fillings.
8. Mercury is transferred from a mother to her fetus during pregnancy and is transferred post-natally through breast milk.
9. The developing fetus and young children are disproportionately affected by mercury exposure, because many aspects of development, particularly brain maturation, can be disturbed by the presence of mercury.
10. Mercury derived from mercury fillings may impair kidney function.
11. Mercury has been linked to Alzheimer’s Disease.
12. Mercury has been linked to Parkinson’s Disease.
13. Mercury released from dental "silver" fillings provokes an increase in mercury and antibiotic resistant bacteria in oral and intestinal flora.
14. Animal studies demonstrate that exposure to mercury vapor can induce
autoimmunity.
17. IAOMT's science contributed to Germany's ban on mercury fillings for women and children.
18. Mercury vapor released by fillings is routinely measured in dentists' offices.
19. There is more mercury in dental fillings than in all other products sold in America.
20. The U.S. government has never tested mercury fillings for safety.

In Scientific First, Researchers Correct Decline In Organ Function Associated With Old Age...
ScienceDaily (Aug. 11, 2008) — As people age, their cells become less efficient at getting rid of damaged protein — resulting in a buildup of toxic material that is especially pronounced in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and other neurodegenerative disorders. Now, for the first time, scientists at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have prevented this age-related decline in an entire organ — the liver — and shown that, as a result, the livers of older animals functioned as well as they did when the animals were much younger. Published in the online edition of Nature Medicine, these findings suggest that therapies for boosting protein clearance might help stave off some of the declines in function that accompany old age. The study's senior author was Dr. Ana Maria Cuervo, associate professor in the departments of developmental & molecular biology, medicine and anatomy & structural biology at Einstein.
Comment: Modern lifestyle can result in the enzymes that control the laying down of fibrous tissue diminishing. Too much fibrous tissue can become the matrix for Atherosclerosis plaque that clogs arteries. In blood vessels, it causes thrombosis or blood clots; in breast tissue, fibrocystic breast disease and fibromas in the uterus. Proteolytic enzymes (protein digesting), such as Serrapeptase, have been shown in studies to dissolve away these, relieving the inflammation and lowering the associated pain.
Red Wine’s Resveratrol May Help Battle Obesity ...
(NaturalNews) Resveratrol, a compound present in grapes and red wine, reduces the number of fat cells and may one day be used to treat or prevent obesity, according to a new study. The results will be presented at The Endocrine Society’s 90th Annual Meeting in San Francisco.Past research found that resveratrol protected laboratory mice that were fed a high-calorie diet from the health problems of obesity, by mimicking the effects of calorie restriction. Researchers at the University of Ulm in Germany wanted to know if resveratrol could mimic the effects of calorie restriction in human fat cells by changing their size or function. The German team used a strain of human fat cell precursors, called preadipocytes. In the body, these cells develop into mature fat cells, according to the study’s lead author, Pamela Fischer-Posovszky, PhD, a pediatric endocrinology research fellow in the university’s Diabetes and Obesity Unit.
Comment: A recent landmark study from Harvard Medical School, published in the medical journal Nature, found that ultra-high doses of red wine extract with resveratrol allowed obese mice to eat a high fat diet and still live a long and healthy life¹. Researchers discovered that the liver and other systems in obese mice remained healthy and fat-related deaths dropped 31 percent for those taking a resveratrol supplement.
Natural Viagra? - Horny Goat Weed' Shows Promise...
ScienceDaily (Sep. 30, 2008) — Move over, Viagra! Researchers in Italy report that an ancient Chinese herbal remedy known as "horny goat weed" shows potential in lab studies as source for new future drugs to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). The study, which provides scientific evidence supporting the herb's well-known use as a natural aphrodisiac. In the new study, Mario Dell'Agli and colleagues point out that Viagra (sildenafil) and several other prescription drugs are now available for ED, or male impotence. ED affects an estimated 18 million men in the United States alone. Studies show, however, that these drugs may cause side effects such as headache, facial flushing, stomach upset, and visual disturbances.
Comment: Horny goat weed contains flavonoids that may have estrogen-inhibiting properties. Its main constituent, icariin, is believed to assist with healthy erectile function in men. It may help expand capillaries and larger blood vessels to promote better flow of hormone-rich blood to sensitive tissues. It may also safely modulate hormones involved in sexual desire and pleasure, for both men and women. While the exact mechanism by which it operates is unclear, research suggests its effects may be related to the production of the sexual hormone androgen.
Bee Pollen: A Powerful Sex Drive Enhancer...
(NaturalNews) Bee Pollen is not only great for sex drive, it will also make you feel great, have more sustained energy, increase your endurance, relieve stress, enhance your immunity, and reduce allergies... as well as improve your sex life.
Comment: Bee Pollen is not only good for energy and sex drive, but it is good for any type of air borne allergies and is very nutritious.
Watermelon Found to Function as Natural Viagra ...
(NaturalNews) New research suggests that watermelon may produce effects in the body similar to that of Viagra, perhaps pointing the way to a natural remedy for men suffering from erectile dysfunction, says Bhimu Patil of Texas A&M University.Research conducted by Patil and others has recently revealed that the flesh of watermelon contains higher levels of the amino acid citrulline than researchers had thought. Until then, most of the citrulline was believed to reside in the inedible rind of the fruit. This is significant because the body converts citrulline into arginine, another amino acid that functions as a precursor to nitric oxide. Nitric oxide, in turn, plays a critical role in the dilation of blood vessels and the process of penile erection.
The Dangers of High Fructose Corn Syrup ...
NaturalNews) In case you missed it on TV, recent ads campaigns have tried to convince people that High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is something that’s actually good for you. For me and many others who are into natural health and informed on the dangers of man made chemicals and food additives, a statement like that is not only a lie but an outright shock. What’s even more amazing is that the commercials show one person that seems to know that HFCS is not good but can’t quite remember why, while the other person who is apparently “well informed” convinces the first person that their information is wrong and that HFCS is really good for you because it’s supposedly “natural” because it’s made from corn.
Beautiful Hair and Skin Require Optimal Thyroid Functioning ...
(NaturalNews) Whether your hair turns gray and falls out or stays a thick mane of vibrant color is dependent on your body having proper levels of thyroid hormones. New ground breaking research has documented that human hair follicles are direct targets of the thyroid hormones T3 and T4 which modulate hair biology parameters from cycling to pigmentation.

'Epigenetics' Means What We Eat, How We Live And Love, Alters How Our Genes Behave...
ScienceDaily (Oct. 27, 2005) — DURHAM, N.C. – A mother rat withholds nurturing licks from its pup and elicits a brain change that impairs the pup's response to stress as an adult, researchers in Canada found. A pregnant woman's dietary deficits increase her offspring's risk of diabetes, stroke and heart disease later in life, researchers in England have shown.
How Diet, Antioxidants Prevent Blindness In Aging Population...
ScienceDaily (Aug. 27, 2008) — A new study reveals part of the magic behind a diet rich in antioxidants, showing how artichokes, blueberries and pecans can hold at bay the leading cause of age-related blindness in developed countries. Researchers at Brigham Young University and Weill Medical College of Cornell University discovered a link between two processes in the retina that, in combination, contribute to a disease called macular degeneration. They found antioxidants disrupt the link and extend the lifetime of irreplaceable photoreceptors and other retinal cells.
“The implication is that people at risk of macular degeneration could help prevent the disease by consuming antioxidants,” said Heidi Vollmer-Snarr, a BYU chemist who earned a doctorate from Oxford and began work on this disease as a postdoctoral researcher at Columbia.
Comment: BioAstin Supreme™ is a next generation super antioxidant. Formulated by Doctors Bob Corish & Leonard Smith, MD, BioAstin Supreme™ is the most powerful natural antioxidant on the market. In fact, it is Supercarotenoid – clinically proven to be 500 times more powerful than Vitamin E in its free radical quenching capacity. It supports eye health.

Here we go again, this is getting ridicules...
Again this week we have yet another study designed to get you to stop taking worthless supplements and blindly follow the loving hand of Conventional Medicine. As I have been reporting to you for over 3 years, researchers are convinced the recommended daily allowance of vitamin D of 400 IU's is grossly inadequate and needs to be at least 3 times higher if not 6.
Notice below the most recent study using low dosages of D, and trying to counter the other study done in 2007.
Do they think we are idiots???
Unfortunately most people don't read the details of studies done and just react to media hype as in gets reported.

Calcium Plus Vitamin D Supplementation Is Not Associated With A Reduced Breast Cancer Risk...
ScienceDaily (Nov. 22, 2008) — Taking calcium and vitamin D supplements does not reduce breast cancer incidence in postmenopausal women, according to data from a randomized, doubled-blind, placebo-controlled trial published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Several observational and preclinical studies have suggested that vitamin D supplements may reduce breast cancer risk, but results have been inconsistent.
To test this possibility, researchers evaluated breast cancer incidence as a secondary endpoint in the Women's Health Initiative study in 36,282 postmenopausal women who were randomly assigned to take 1,000 mg of calcium plus 400 IU of vitamin D daily or to daily placebo. (The primary endpoint of the study was effect of the supplements on hip fracture.) Baseline 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were determined in all 1,067 breast cancer cases and 1,067 matched control subjects.

New research shows vitamin D slashes risk of cancers by 77 percent; cancer industry refuses to support cancer prevention ...
Exciting new research conducted at the Creighton University School of Medicine in Nebraska has revealed that supplementing with vitamin D and calcium can reduce your risk of cancer by an astonishing 77 percent. This includes breast cancer, colon cancer, skin cancer and other forms of cancer. This research provides strong new evidence that vitamin D is the single most effective medicine against cancer, far outpacing the benefits of any cancer drug known to modern science.The study involved 1,179 healthy women from rural Nebraska. One group of women was given calcium (around 1500 mg daily) and vitamin D (1100 IU daily) while another group was given placebo. Over four years, the group receiving the calcium and vitamin D supplements showed a 60 percent decrease in cancers. Considering just the last three years of the study reveals an impressive 77 percent reduction in cancer due to supplementation.
(The full press release of this study is included below. It provides more details about the findings.)
Note that these astonishing effects were achieved on what many nutritionists consider to be a low dose of vitamin D.

Studies the pharmaceutical companies don't want to you see...
Last week I blogged on the fact that the drug companies were on a campaign to saturate the news media with propaganda that nutrients like C & E had no effect on cardiovascular disease or cancer. I explained that they always use too little or low quality nutrients so the studies come out the way they want them to. Basically they want them to fail. Below I have reprinted a study you all should read. This is why they don't want you to take charge of your own health with natural supplements.
As I have explained before, all animals create ascorbic acid from their livers except, humans, guinea pigs, bats and a few monkeys. It is produced at varying levels depending on the animals stress levels. Vitamin C along with the amino acids (proteins) lysine & proline, are needed by the body to produce collagen, which keeps arteries strong and healthy. Notice what happened in this study when they caused mice to not be able to convert ascorbic acid on their own, like they normally do. The second study used 700 mgs of C which is a little higher than last weeks study, by a third and it had a measurable improvement. Imagine if they had used the levels Linus Pauling said were needed to prevent & reverse cardiovascular disease, and the amount the mouse would naturally produce on it's own, what might have happened.
If you are a thinking individual, a light should go on in your brain as to why conventional medicine and the drug companies, might not want you to know this, or to practice preventative medicine on your own. It's just too powerful.

Abstract:
By inactivating the gene for L-gulono-gamma-lactone oxidase, a key enzyme in ascorbic acid synthesis, we have generated mice that, like humans, depend on dietary vitamin C.
Regular chow, containing about 110 mg/kg of vitamin C, is unable to support the growth of the mutant mice, which require L-ascorbic acid supplemented in their drinking water (330 mg/liter). Upon withdrawal of supplementation, plasma and tissue ascorbic acid levels decreased to 10-15% of normal within 2 weeks, and after 5 weeks the mutants became anemic, began to lose weight, and die. Plasma total antioxidative capacities were approximately 37% normal in homozygotes after feeding the unsupplemented diet for 3-5 weeks. As plasma ascorbic acid decreased, small, but significant, increases in total cholesterol and decreases in high density lipoprotein cholesterol were observed. The most striking effects of the marginal dietary vitamin C were alterations in the wall of aorta, evidenced by the disruption of elastic laminae, smooth muscle cell proliferation, and focal endothelial desquamation of the luminal surface. Thus, marginal vitamin C deficiency affects the vascular integrity of mice unable to synthesize ascorbic acid, with potentially profound effects on the pathogenesis of vascular diseases. Breeding the vitamin C-dependent mice with mice carrying defined genetic mutations will provide numerous opportunities for systematic studies of the role of antioxidants in health and disease.
Vitamin C May Reduce CHD Risk
01/03/2005
BOSTON--Vitamin C was inversely associated with risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in a cohort study that examined the relationship between antioxidants and CHD. The study appears in the
December issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (80, 6:1508-1520, 2004)
(www.ajcn.org).
The study pooled nine prospective studies containing information on intakes of vitamin E, carotenoids and vitamin C. During a 10-year follow-up, 4,647 CHD events occurred in 293,172 subjects who were free of CHD at baseline.
Subjects with a daily intake of 700 mg or more vitamin C had a lower risk of CHD. Also, dietary intake of antioxidant vitamins was only weakly related to a reduced risk of CHD after adjustment for confounding factors, and supplemental vitamin E intake was not related to lowered CHD risk.
The scientists concluded high vitamin C supplement intake produces a reduced incidence of CHD events, and noted vitamin E and carotenoids apparently do not cause significant reductions in CHD risk.

" The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." Albert Einstein
As I have explained before, all animals create ascorbic acid from their livers except, humans, guinea pigs, bats and a few monkeys. It is produced at varying levels depending on the animals stress levels. Vitamin C along with the amino acids (proteins) lysine & proline, are needed by the body to produce collagen, which keeps arteries strong and healthy. Notice what happened in this study when they caused mice to not be able to convert ascorbic acid on their own, like they normally do. The second study used 700 mgs of C which is a little higher than last weeks study, by a third and it had a measurable improvement. Imagine if they had used the levels Linus Pauling said were needed to prevent & reverse cardiovascular disease, and the amount the mouse would naturally produce on it's own, what might have happened.
If you are a thinking individual, a light should go on in your brain as to why conventional medicine and the drug companies, might not want you to know this, or to practice preventative medicine on your own. It's just too powerful.

The report card is out and Conventional Medicine, FAILS...
The U.S. ranks 42nd in the world in life expectancy and 37th for infant mortality but is close to #1 in obesity.
In the last 20 years, type 2 diabetes has doubled.
This is in spite of the fact that we spend more money per capita on medical care than any country in the world.
Shouldn't this be front page on all the papers?
It will be next month, as Time magazine will focus on The American Health Care System. Look for it when it comes out and be sure to read it...

Micronutrient Deficiency Responsible for Cancer and other Diseases, Proclaims Scientist...
Deficiencies in micronutrients arising from a high-calorie, nutrient-poor diet may be responsible for many modern health problems from cancer to obesity, a health researcher has proclaimed. The specific effects of many vitamin deficiencies are well known, and have led governments to advise supplements for certain high-risk populations, including calcium for older women, vitamin D for dark-skinned people at risk of bone diseases, and folic acid for women whose children would otherwise be at risk of neural tube birth defects. But Bruce Ames of the University of California at Berkeley and the Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute has suggested that nutrient deficiency may also lead to more general health deficiency.Ames told a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science that a diet rich in junk food, which has lots of calories but few vitamins and minerals, forces to body to enter a "crisis mode," designed to keep the body alive over the short term. The problem is that this leads the body to neglect its own long-term survival, including tasks such as repairing regular DNA damage and maintaining a healthy immune system."DNA damage increases deficiency of each of the 15 micronutrients that have been examined in humans, primary human cells in culture or in rodents," Ames said. "These deficiencies are associated with cancer."Ames said that most people in the United States are deficient in at least one of the 40 micronutrients required for proper bodily function. He cited studies showing that 56 percent of the population fails to meet the recommended magnesium intake guidelines, and that 93 percent fail to consume enough vitamin E. Ames is the inventor of the "Ames test," which is used to determine the mutation-and cancer-causing potential of chemicals. He sits on the scientific advisory board of the nutrient company Juvenon.

A WARNING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
Senate Document No. 264, 1936.
"Our physical well-being is more directly dependent upon minerals we take into our systems than upon calories or vitamins, or upon precise proportions of starch, protein or carbohydrates we consume.
Do you know that most of us today are suffering from certain dangerous diet deficiencies which cannot be remedied until depleted soils from which our food comes are brought into proper mineral balance?
The alarming fact is that foods (fruits, vegetables and grains) now being raised on millions of acres of land that no longer contain enough of certain minerals are starving us - no matter how much of them we eat. No man of today can eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply his system with the minerals he requires for perfect health because his stomach isn't big enough to hold them.
The truth is that our foods vary enormously in value, and some of them aren't worth eating as food... Our physical well-being is more directly dependent upon the minerals we take into our systems than upon calories or vitamins or upon the precise proportions of starch, protein or carbohydrates we consume.
This talk about minerals is novel and quite startling. In fact, a realization of the importance of minerals in food is so new that the text books on nutritional dietetics contain very little about it. Nevertheless, it is something that concerns all of us, and the further we delve into it the more startling it becomes.
You'd think, wouldn't you, that a carrot is a carrot - that one is about as good as another as far as nourishment is concerned? But it isn't; one carrot may look and taste like another and yet be lacking in the particular mineral element which our system requires and which carrots are supposed to contain.
Laboratory test prove that the fruits, the vegetables, the grains, the eggs, and even the milk and the meats of today are not what they were a few generations ago (which doubtless explains why our forefathers thrived on a selection of foods that would starve us!)
No man today can eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply his stomach with the mineral salts he requires for perfect health, because his stomach isn't big enough to hold them!
No longer does a balanced and fully nourishing diet consist merely of so many calories or certain vitamins or fixed proportion of starches, proteins and carbohydrates. We know that our diets must contain in addition something like a score of minerals salts.
It is bad news to learn from our leading authorities that 99% of the American people are deficient in these minerals, and that a marked deficiency in any one of the more important minerals actually results in disease. Any upset of the balance, any considerable lack or one or another element, however microscopic the body requirement may be, and we sicken, suffer, shorten our lives.
We know that vitamins are complex chemical substances which are indispensable to nutrition, and that each of them is of importance for normal function of some special structure in the body. Disorder and disease result from any vitamin deficiency. It is not commonly realized, however, that vitamins control the body's appropriation of minerals, and in the absence of mineral's they have no function to perform. Lacking vitamins, the system can make some use of minerals, but lacking minerals, vitamins are useless.
Certainly our physical well-being is more directly dependant upon the minerals we take into our systems than upon calories or vitamins or upon the precise proportions of starch, protein and of carbohydrates we consume.
This discovery is one of the latest and most important contributions of science to the problem of human health." Senate Document No. 264, 1936.
