In the last 2 weeks the media has been on a blitz. At least 3 studies have been published that supposedly prove that nutritional supplements like C & E and now Ginkgo, are worthless. As I blogged the other day, this is because they are feeling the effects of loss of sales from the downturn in the economy and because people are turning to alternatives in droves because of the negative side effects, drugs bring.
This latest study on Ginkgo raises some interesting questions. First, why use Ginkgo produced by a drug company, for this study. Drug companies patent drugs and get 6 years of big profits, when they successfully market a new drug. Herbs cannot be patented and have low profit levels comparatively. Would you trust a drug company to produce an herbal product to be tested side by side to a drug. I wouldn't. Also, as you read the study, notice that Dr. Steven DeKosky, who led the federally funded study, reported receiving grants from and acting as a consultant for several drug companies, including some that make dementia drugs. I have a problem with him being unbiased, wouldn't you?
Before you read this latest study, take a look at Dr. Mercola's presentation of The Town of Allopath. It is a animated cartoon that demonstrates the illogical approach of Allopathic Medicine (Allopathic medicine: The system of medical practice which treats disease by the use of remedies which produce effects different from those produced by the disease under treatment. MDs practice allopathic medicine. Also called conventional medicine.)

Ginkgo fails to prevent Alzheimer's in large study...
The dietary supplement ginkgo, long promoted as an aid to memory, didn't help prevent dementia and Alzheimer's disease in the longest and largest test of the extract in older Americans. "We don't think it has a future as a powerful anti-dementia drug," said Dr. Steven DeKosky of the University of Virginia School of Medicine, who led the federally funded study.
Extracts from ginkgo tree leaves have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, but earlier research on ginkgo and memory showed mixed results. Annual U.S. sales of the supplement reached $107 million in 2007, according to Nutrition Business Journal estimates.

Want a better way to feel full and lose weight for a whole lot less money, than Fullbar or Lipozene...
Maybe you have seen the ads for Fullbar or Lipozene.
They both claim that using their product will help you lose weight by making you feel full and eat less.
Over all it is not a bad approach to losing weight and does work for many people.
HOW DOES EACH PRODUCT WORK?
Lipozene® creates a dietary fiber sponge that makes you feel full, thus reducing caloric intake and adding fiber to your diet. Lipozene® contains Glucomannan, a 100% natural fiber from the Konjac Root. It cost $29.95 for 60 capsules. Recomended use 1 to 2 capsules 30 minutes before meals.

The Story Behind Fullbar.
Fullbar creator: In working at my nationally recognized Bariatric Center of Excellence, I came to realize that there was a gap in what I could provide to people. Sure, I was treating those who had severe obesity, but what about everyone else? Now fast forward 4 years and over 50 formula changes later! Together with a food scientist, we created Fullbar, which uses the same principles in weight-loss surgery to help you loose weight. Fullbar's all natural ingredients help increase the sense of fullness that you feel before your main meal so that you eat what you want, but not as much. You still achieve appetite satisfaction, but with less food. When you don't have hunger pains, dieting is easier and you loose weight. Click here to view our TV ad that tells you more about how weight-loss surgery works and how Fullbar uses those same principles. We put Fullbar to the test and found that after a 3-month weight-loss study, people lost an average of 40% of their excess weight and 95% of trial participants were successful in loosing weight!** Individual results may vary.
How is Fullbar different than a regular granola bar or just eating bran with water? Our food scientist, Robert, is the best person to answer this question. Research regarding satiety shows that it is not simply achieved by eating a fiber source such as bran; there needs to be a combination of ingredients to provoke the response (this would be one reason why after drinking a fiber supplement, one does not feel satisfied). The combination of ingredients is: a fiber source, a protein source, shear bulk with low calories as well as water. This combination has the best effect in specific ratios which we have perfected here at FullBar™. So, yes it is much different than eating some bran and water before a meal, plus it tastes much better.
http://www.fullbar.com/fullbar-flavors.html
Well, there you have the marketing mumbo jumbo for both products. Fullbar is new and when you look at the ingredients, it contains 170 calories with 30 grams of carbs and 5 grams of fiber per serving. Lipozene is just Glucomannan with no calories, but you pay a huge price for it.
Here is my recommendation if you want to try this weightloss approach.
Just use a generic version of Glucomannan from Vita Cost and follow my Forever Changes Weight-Loss & Longevity Lifestyle Program.
NSI Glucomannan -- 2,000 mg per serving - 180 Capsules - $9.99
Recommended use... 3 capsules with a full glass of water - 30 minutes before a meal.
Here is what it does...
Glucomannan is a water-soluble dietary fiber that is derived from the Konjac root. Konjac is a perennial plant unique to Asia, and cultivated in Japan. The fresh Konjac tuber contains an average of 13% dry matter, of which 70% is Glucomannan, and the remaining 30% is starch. Glucomannan is a polysaccharide consisting of repeating units of beta-D-glucose and beta-D-mannose joined together in a chain. Historically, Glucomannan has been used in traditional Asian foods such as noodles, tofu, and other food products. Konjac flour (made from the tubers) has been a healthy Japanese jelly called "konyaku" for over two centuries. By expanding in the stomach, Glucomannan can be useful for people trying to lose weight. Fiber-containing foods such as Oats are known to help reduce cholesterol, improve bowel functioning and assist in weight reduction by creating a feeling of fullness. However, many people have a hard time consuming enough fiber from food and turn to fiber supplements such as Guar Gum and Pectin to help fulfill their daily requirements and get that feeling of "fullness."
Glucomannan offers a significant advantage over these other forms of fiber - much smaller doses are necessary to achieve optimum results. When Glucomannan is placed in water, it can swell up to seventeen times its original volume. These qualities make it extremely effective and convenient as a fiber supplement. Several small controlled studies have found Glucomannan to be effective for reducing total cholesterol levels in otherwise healthy adults. Glucomannan reduced bad cholesterol (LDL) and, according to some studies, increased good cholesterol (HDL). In addition, Glucomannan may improve other risk factors for heart disease, such as high triglyceride levels and high blood pressure. Several studies have suggested that Glucomannan may also help the body to regulate blood sugar levels and, therefore, could be helpful in treating diabetes. Additionally, Glucomannan might be helpful for individuals who experience episodes of low blood sugar. In one double-blind study, participants showed significant reductions in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, as compared to a placebo. In addition, their systolic blood pressure (the upper number in the blood pressure reading) was also reduced. However, there was no significant increase in HDL cholesterol and no improvement in the ratio of LDL to HDL cholesterol in that study. Another study of individuals with diabetes tested for the effectiveness of Glucomannan fiber-enriched biscuits against wheat bran biscuits for better blood sugar control, and while using the Glucomannan biscuits, people had a significant improvement in glucose control, as opposed to the wheat bran biscuits. Other studies have also found evidence that Glucomannan can improve blood sugar control. However, while this evidence is promising, more studies need to be performed before Glucomannan can be considered an effective support treatment for diabetes.

Don't be fooled and conned by the recent propaganda!!!
Drug companies are very fearful these days with the potential for universal health care coming and by the number of people choosing to use natural supplements over drugs for diseases. Concerned by this, they are saturating the news media with poorly done studies that discount natural therapies and even encouraging people to use drugs when they're not even sick, as preventatives. They are even going so far as to recommend drugs to young children in the name of PROTECTION.
One recent study on C & E in the prevention of heart disease used as usual low levels to do their study and a form of E that is almost worthless. Linus Pauling and Dr. Mathias Rath PATENDED a reversal and preventative program for cardiovascular disease in 1992. They recommended 3,000 mgs of C in the form of Ascorbic Acid with the amino acid Lysine as a preventative and 6,000 to 10,000 mgs of C in order to get a reversal. This study, listed below, only used 500 mgs of vitamin C. For vitamin E to be effective, it needs to be in a complex natural form including alpha, delta, beta & gamma tocopherols, or at minimum alpha tocopherol, in the natural form of D-Alpha Tocopherol, not in the dl-alpha tocopheyl acetate or succinate SYNTHETIC form that this study used. It also must be at a level that is more than is needed, to create an overflow effect.
The Drs. Evan and Wilfred Shute, eminent Canadian specialists (now deceased), who successfully treated over 54,000 cases of heart conditions, stated that VITAMIN E is an unusual "all or nothing substance" in that half a dose does not produce half a result. You need to take enough to "spill over" the top of the dam. What spills over the top produces the results. They stated there are 3 ways to make VITAMIN E useless. (1) Don't take high enough dosage to get "spill over" results. (2) Split the dose so you never get to the top of the dam. (3) Use the wrong form.
This study used 400 IU's of SYNTHETIC vitamin E when Pauling recommended up to 32,000 IU's a day for a long life. 2,000 IU's would be a minimum for most people, taken all at once with breakfast, of the mixed tocopherols like Unique E by A.C. Grace Company.
Next, there was a study stating that vitamin D did not prevent breast cancer. Again, in this study 400 IU's of D were used when 20 minutes of afternoon sun would provide a shirtless person with at least 10,000 IU's of D in a single dosage. Our ancestors who farmed, fished and hunted, all got very high levels of vitamin D, when the average in door working American get's little to none, even in the summer.
And lastly, this week a study came out that demonstrated that Statins have anti-inflammatory properties, and are now being recommended as a PREVENTATIVE for heart disease, even for healthy people. It was so effective that they cut the study short. Want to know why? So they wouldn't cause the side effects like muscle wasting, that comes with statin usage. You do understand the heart is a muscle, right? Not a good idea to waste it in an attempt to prevent inflammation like C-reactive protein levels, when high amounts of C & E can do it with little or no negative side effects.
Enjoy this weeks articles and remember that you will never get studies recommending natural remedies as long as they can't be sold as a drug at high prices.

Vitamins E And C Supplements Not Effective For Prevention Of Cardiovascular Disease... Neither vitamin E nor vitamin C supplements reduced the risk of major cardiovascular events in a large, long-term study of male physicians, according to a new study. READ MORE
Vitamin C supplementation lowers C-reactive protein levels... An article scheduled to appear in the January 1, 2009 issue of Free Radical Biology and Medicine reports the finding of researchers at the University of California, Berkeley that supplementing with vitamin C reduces C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation linked with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Dr. Rath’s Scientific Discovery in Heart Disease... Coronary Heart Disease Is an Early Form of ScurvyDr. Rath’s research reveals that coronary heart disease occurs exactly for the same reason that clinical (early) scurvy does – a deficiency of vitamin C in the cells composing the artery wall. Humans, unlike animals, develop heart disease because their bodies cannot produce vitamin C. The average diet provides enough vitamin C to prevent scurvy, but not enough to guarantee stable artery walls. As a consequence of vitamin C deficiency, millions of tiny cracks and lesions develop in the artery walls. Subsequently, cholesterol, lipoproteins and other blood risk factors enter the damaged artery walls to repair these lesions. READ MORE
Don’t be deceived! Adequate Vitamin D DOES profoundly reduce the risk of breast cancer!... In spite of numerous studies that demonstrate a profound reduction in risk of cancer with increased sunlight exposure and vitamin D supplementation, a new study appears to completely contradict the idea that vitamin D has anti-cancer properties, especially for breast cancer. [1]Don’t be deceived. The researchers obviously have not kept up on vitamin D research, or they have deliberately conducted a study with the express intention of misleading the public, meaning that the so-called “research” falls somewhere between incompetence and deception.

The Latest Pharmaceutical LIE... A new study (click to read) has made headlines and has people buzzing. Apparently, if everyone takes the cholesterol-lowering statin drug CRESTOR, you’ll have a 54% lower risk of a heart attack! It’s a miracle!Folks, this kind of information is disturbing for many reasons. First off, guess who funded this study? AstraZeneca, maker of Crestor! Secondly, a nasty side effect of taking this drug surfaced: many people in the study taking Crestor (vs those taking a placebo) saw blood sugar levels rise or were newly diagnosed with diabetes. Reduce heart attack; get diabetes! READ MORE
Statin drugs expose patients to dangerous, debilitating side effects... Millions of Americans take statin drugs to help lower their cholesterol, making it one of the most popular classes of prescription drugs on the market today, but like most prescription medications, these drugs are often unnecessary, as most Americans could lower their LDL (bad) cholesterol levels simply by changing their diet and lifestyle. However, we live in a world where people are looking for a quick fix, and doctors are eager to recommend "magic pills" to patients with any and all health concerns. The problem with these so-called "magic pills" is that they often end up doing more harm than good. Such is the case with Lipitor, the most popular of the five statin drugs available today.
Big Pharma's New Mass-Drugging Agenda Pushes Statin Drugs for Healthy People... Drug companies used to sell products for the treatment of disease. But it didn't take long for Big Pharma to figure out that the number of diseased people is limited, and therefore so are drug profits. To bypass this problem, they began inventing diseases and marketing them to the public as a way to create new demand for high-profit pharmaceuticals. This is how "bi-polar" came into existence, for example. Same story for ADHD, social anxiety disorder and even high cholesterol (which isn't a disease in the first place). READ MORE

If you read my blogs and study my main website you know that I believe you should take charge of your own health & wellness.
Why?
Because nobody cares as much about you than YOU DO!!!
Doctors today are so busy and overwhelmed that they are lucky to get 15 minutes with you, when you go in to see them. They get 95% of their treatment knowledge from a drug rep that comes in and educates them on what the latest drug is for treatment of this or that.
They have little or no time to study alternative approaches that are as effective as drugs, but with little or no side effects. In fact, many of these alternative treatments have side benefits that go beyond treating the main issue that you went to your doctor to complain about.
It takes guts and some time to focus on your own health, but perhaps the studies below will give you a fire in the belly, to start.

When the Cure Is Worse Than the Disease...
Mary wonders why the new young doctor she visited recently says to nearly every patient, after examining their throat, that it looks like their esophagus is being eroded by stomach acid and they need to start taking acid-blocking pills. He hands patients free samples provided by pharmaceutical companies. The patients are oblivious to the fact that if they begin using the drug, they may never be able to stop taking it without experiencing an excruciatingly painful bout of rebound heartburn.
One way to build an income in private medical practice is to hook patients on drugs that continually require re-examination, testing and prescription renewal.

Hospitals Are Some of the Most Dangerous Places ...
Ads touting the benefits of particular hospitals are common in big city newspapers, but on a recent day, I was struck by the sheer number of full-page ads for hospitals. In particular, one ad read: “For a healthy heart...eat properly, exercise daily and visit St. Francis, the hospital with more of the best cardiac specialists than any other hospital...”
What do hospitals have to do with disease prevention? Virtually nothing. Visit St. Francis or any other hospital? Unless you need the ER, you may very well be putting your life at risk.

World's Greatest Medical Failures...
Modern medical science has made incredible advances and contributions which have alleviated pain and suffering. Surgical technique (the cutting apart and repairing of the human body) has made remarkable progress. Identification of germs that cause disease and improved sanitation, which aids in preventing that disease, have also seen vast achievements. Burn treatment, trauma, and emergency room care are nothing less than miraculous. When it comes to these areas of medical care, the value they bring to us is impossible to measure.
But…there is another side to this story. There is great failure in health care today -- and, as a result of that failure, great pain and unnecessary suffering. And it is important that, as you discover how badly the modern medical paradigm is failing, you take great care not to assign blame wrongly. Yes, there are incompetent doctors whose practices we all abhor, and we wish they could never practice medicine again, but this newsletter is not about them. Neither is it directed at the thousands of faithful health care workers who go about their daily jobs. Specifically, my purpose in this newsletter is to confront the very foundational philosophy and system of the modern medical paradigm -- a philosophy that costs trillions and a system that promises hope, but delivers misery.

Drugs Kill More People Than Ever, Report Finds...
The 2008, first quarter report of deaths and serious injuries associated with drug therapy was recently released by The Institute for Safe Medication Practices, a nonprofit organization whose stated goal is to educate the healthcare community and consumers about safe medication practices. The findings of this report are astounding. According to the information gathered from data submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration during the first quarter of 2008, there were 20,745 reported serious injuries associated with drug therapy, up 34% from the previous quarter, and up 38% from last year`s average. Even more eye-opening than the number of serious injuries is the number of reported deaths – 4,824 people were reported killed from pharmaceutical drugs in the first quarter of 2008, a 2.6 fold increase from the previous quarter. This figure represents the highest number of patient deaths ever reported in a single quarter as a result of drug therapy. It also accounts for more deaths than those due to homicide during the same period.

Serious Complications and Death Linked to Heart Imaging Drugs ...
The FDA has said it is still concerned that certain heart imaging dyes may lead to serious side effects and even deaths. "FDA remains concerned about the accumulating safety data pertaining to marketed ultrasound contrast agents, and the labels for these products that continue to contain a boxed warning that highlights the risk for serious cardiopulmonary reactions," FDA officials said. The agents in question are used during electrocardiograms, in which doctors use ultrasound to take a three-dimensional, real-time picture of the heart as a diagnostic tool.

" The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." Albert Einstein
Why?
Because nobody cares as much about you than YOU DO!!!
Doctors today are so busy and overwhelmed that they are lucky to get 15 minutes with you, when you go in to see them. They get 95% of their treatment knowledge from a drug rep that comes in and educates them on what the latest drug is for treatment of this or that.
They have little or no time to study alternative approaches that are as effective as drugs, but with little or no side effects. In fact, many of these alternative treatments have side benefits that go beyond treating the main issue that you went to your doctor to complain about.
It takes guts and some time to focus on your own health, but perhaps the studies below will give you a fire in the belly, to start.

When the Cure Is Worse Than the Disease...
Mary wonders why the new young doctor she visited recently says to nearly every patient, after examining their throat, that it looks like their esophagus is being eroded by stomach acid and they need to start taking acid-blocking pills. He hands patients free samples provided by pharmaceutical companies. The patients are oblivious to the fact that if they begin using the drug, they may never be able to stop taking it without experiencing an excruciatingly painful bout of rebound heartburn.
One way to build an income in private medical practice is to hook patients on drugs that continually require re-examination, testing and prescription renewal.

Hospitals Are Some of the Most Dangerous Places ...
Ads touting the benefits of particular hospitals are common in big city newspapers, but on a recent day, I was struck by the sheer number of full-page ads for hospitals. In particular, one ad read: “For a healthy heart...eat properly, exercise daily and visit St. Francis, the hospital with more of the best cardiac specialists than any other hospital...”
What do hospitals have to do with disease prevention? Virtually nothing. Visit St. Francis or any other hospital? Unless you need the ER, you may very well be putting your life at risk.

World's Greatest Medical Failures...
Modern medical science has made incredible advances and contributions which have alleviated pain and suffering. Surgical technique (the cutting apart and repairing of the human body) has made remarkable progress. Identification of germs that cause disease and improved sanitation, which aids in preventing that disease, have also seen vast achievements. Burn treatment, trauma, and emergency room care are nothing less than miraculous. When it comes to these areas of medical care, the value they bring to us is impossible to measure.
But…there is another side to this story. There is great failure in health care today -- and, as a result of that failure, great pain and unnecessary suffering. And it is important that, as you discover how badly the modern medical paradigm is failing, you take great care not to assign blame wrongly. Yes, there are incompetent doctors whose practices we all abhor, and we wish they could never practice medicine again, but this newsletter is not about them. Neither is it directed at the thousands of faithful health care workers who go about their daily jobs. Specifically, my purpose in this newsletter is to confront the very foundational philosophy and system of the modern medical paradigm -- a philosophy that costs trillions and a system that promises hope, but delivers misery.

Drugs Kill More People Than Ever, Report Finds...
The 2008, first quarter report of deaths and serious injuries associated with drug therapy was recently released by The Institute for Safe Medication Practices, a nonprofit organization whose stated goal is to educate the healthcare community and consumers about safe medication practices. The findings of this report are astounding. According to the information gathered from data submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration during the first quarter of 2008, there were 20,745 reported serious injuries associated with drug therapy, up 34% from the previous quarter, and up 38% from last year`s average. Even more eye-opening than the number of serious injuries is the number of reported deaths – 4,824 people were reported killed from pharmaceutical drugs in the first quarter of 2008, a 2.6 fold increase from the previous quarter. This figure represents the highest number of patient deaths ever reported in a single quarter as a result of drug therapy. It also accounts for more deaths than those due to homicide during the same period.

Serious Complications and Death Linked to Heart Imaging Drugs ...
The FDA has said it is still concerned that certain heart imaging dyes may lead to serious side effects and even deaths. "FDA remains concerned about the accumulating safety data pertaining to marketed ultrasound contrast agents, and the labels for these products that continue to contain a boxed warning that highlights the risk for serious cardiopulmonary reactions," FDA officials said. The agents in question are used during electrocardiograms, in which doctors use ultrasound to take a three-dimensional, real-time picture of the heart as a diagnostic tool.

Nutrition in the news...
Dying for Lack of Sufficient Micronutrients...
While the terrain of his talk was familiar, Dr. Ames’s insights burrowed into the unacknowledged significance of adequate micronutrient supplementation. According to Ames, inadequacies in one or more micronutrients are widespread in the U.S. population and even greater around the world. Inadequacy is defined as being greater than two standard deviations below the Daily Value, for any of about 40 essential micronutrients (including minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and fatty acids) that are required for proper metabolism. As examples, Dr. Ames pointed out that 56% of all U.S. residents are thought to be deficient in magnesium, and almost all Americans of African descent are believed to be deficient in vitamin D.

Phenylalanine May Cheer You Up...
A susceptibility to depression has hung like a black cloud over mankind throughout history. During that time, men and women have applied endless ingenuity toward finding remedies that work. Some of them do work—sometimes, for some people. It’s an iffy proposition, and the challenge remains almost as great as ever. The advent of antidepressant drugs in modern times has been an undeniable blessing, but it’s one with some unpleasant strings attached. A more natural approach is to use nutritional supplements, which many people prefer because they’re largely free of adverse side effects, and they’re less expensive too. The amino acid phenylalanine has long been of interest because of its role in the production of dopamine and noradrenaline, two neurotransmitters that play key roles in the regulation of mood, especially with regard to our sense of well-being, i.e., our happiness. Significantly, deficiencies of these neurotransmitters in the brain are associated with depression.

The Veterans Administration (VA) is issuing a warning that the popular anti-smoking drug Chantix has been linked to an elevated risk of suicide. This warning comes months after the FDA first expressed concerns over the psychiatric effects of the drug.Chantix helps people quit smoking by simulating the effects of nicotine in the brain, while at the same time making real nicotine less effective. As early as November 2007, the FDA warned that many people were experiencing changes in emotions and behavior, including depression and suicidal thoughts, within weeks or even days of starting the drug. By February, the agency had strengthened its message, saying, "it appears increasingly likely that there may be an association between Chantix and serious neuropsychiatric symptoms."

Although the Japanese have known about and used spirulina for medicinal purposes for years, this form of microalgae is still not "mainstream" in American diets. Spirulina natively grows in alkaline, warm-water lakes. Demand for this whole food has sparked the cultivation of spirulina for commercial use in specially designed algae farms. As a result of this new distribution, you can buy spirulina supplements in your local health food store. Western medicine is finally taking note of spirulina's anti-cancer benefits, and you owe it to yourself to do the same.

If you are a women and often feel tired, mentally slow, cold, or have a lower than normal temperature - Listen up!!!
If you have subnormal thyroid levels, called Hypothyroid, the most common symptoms are dry skin, fatigue, dulling of mental faculties, depression, weight gain, constipation, aching joints, low blood pressure, high cholesterol, low libido, brittle nails, hair loss, and sensitivity to cold. If you have these symptoms and a thyroid test comes up within the normal range, it often still is a thyroid issue.
Dr.'s Broda Barnes and Stephen Langer recommend doing a Basal Metabolism Test, as do I. Why, because it is often more accurate in finding sub clinical hypothyroid issues, which may not show up in normal blood tests.

The Benefits of Whole Natural Thyroid ...
When it comes to thyroid therapy, nature’s product beats synthetic drugs.
By Dr. Edward R. Rosick
The pharmaceutical options available to doctors of today are certainly different from those available to their peers of just a hundred years ago. It seems that new drugs are being introduced every day, and most people assume that these new drugs are better than the old ones. But what if that’s not always true? Are some older medications being driven off the store shelves and the pages of medical journals for economic reasons rather than new scientific evidence? In the case of thyroid hormone replacement therapy, some physicians—especially those who tend to have a holistic medical philosophy—would say yes.

The stink in farts controls blood pressure... But I think if this catches on, it could back fire!!!
Ok, ok... I am all for lowering blood pressure without drugs, whenever possible, using alternative medicine, obviously, but I am not sure I am ready to go this far.
Think about it, if everyone started relying on using this approach to lowering blood pressure, say, in a elevator, a car or some other tightly enclosed structure, could this not actually cause the blood pressure of other passengers, to increase? I know mine would.
So, I cannot recommend this alternative approach, as I feel it could BACKFIRE!!!
Seriously though, this article did remind me that often in medicine, the cure can be worse than the disease.
Bill Sardi, one of my favorite medical research writers, talks about this in the second article for today's Blog... If you take drugs or are thinking of doing so, for say, acid reflux, you may want to read his report.
Enjoy good health...

The stink in farts controls blood pressure...
A smelly rotten-egg gas in farts controls blood pressure in mice, a new study finds.
The unpleasant aroma of the gas, called hydrogen sulfide (H2S), can be a little too familiar, as it is expelled by bacteria living in the human colon and eventually makes its way, well, out.
The new research found that cells lining mice's blood vessels naturally make the gas and this action can help keep the rodents' blood pressure low by relaxing the blood vessels to prevent hypertension (high blood pressure). This gas is "no doubt" produced in cells lining human blood vessels too, the researchers said.
"Now that we know hydrogen sulfide's role in regulating blood pressure, it may be possible to design drug therapies that enhance its formation as an alternative to the current methods of treatment for hypertension," said Johns Hopkins neuroscientist Solomon H. Snyder, M.D., a co-author of the study detailed in the Oct. 24th issue of the journal Science.
Snyder and his colleagues compared normal mice to mice that were missing a gene for an enzyme known as CSE, long suspected as being responsible for making hydrogen sulfide. As they measured hydrogen sulfide levels taken from tissues of the CSE-deficient mice, the scientists found that the gas was depleted in the cardiovascular systems of the altered mice. By contrast, normal mice had higher levels of the gas, thereby showing that hydrogen sulfide is naturally made by mammalian tissues using CSE.
Next, the mice were subjected to higher blood pressures comparable to serious hypertension in humans. Scientists had them respond to a chemical called methacholine that relaxes normal blood vessels. The blood vessels of the CSE-lacking mice hardly relaxed, indicating that hydrogen sulfide is a huge contender for regulating blood pressure.
Hydrogen sulfide is the most recently discovered member of a family of gasotransmitters, small molecules inside our bodies with important physiological functions.
This study is the first to reveal that the CSE enzyme that triggers hydrogen sulfide is activated itself in the same way as other enzymes when they trigger their respective gasotransmitter, such as a nitric oxide-forming enzyme that also regulates blood pressure, Dr. Snyder said.
Because gasotransmitters are common in mammals all over the evolutionary tree, these findings on the importance of hydrogen sulfide are thought to have broad applications to human diseases, such as diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases.
The research was supported by grants from the US Public Health Service and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research as well as a Research Scientist Award.
When the Cure Is Worse Than the Disease...
One way to build an income in private medical practice is to hook patients on drugs that continually require re-examination, testing and prescription renewal.
For example, blood thinners require prothrombin tests to determine how long it takes the blood to clot. Blood pressure pills require monitoring of blood pressure. And in the example above, once patients start taking acid-blocking medications they will find it is nearly impossible to stop taking them because withdrawal will provoke rebound acidity with throat-gripping pain.
Since the early 1990s it has been known that acid-blocking (histamine blocking) drugs commonly prescribed for heartburn create dependency. Withdrawal from the drug will create rebound hyper-acidity that causes the patient to reach for the antacid pills in desperation again. [1] , [2] To make matters worse, acid blockers may induce more, not less, disease. Stomach acid is a defense against invading pathogenic bacteria that enter the gut in food (foods are not sterile, but have low bacteria and mold counts that stomach acid normally kills). The habitual use of acid blockers may result in infection and even cancer. [3]
Most drugs don’t work, are inappropriate or are designed to make things worse.

So, I cannot recommend this alternative approach, as I feel it could BACKFIRE!!!
Seriously though, this article did remind me that often in medicine, the cure can be worse than the disease.
Bill Sardi, one of my favorite medical research writers, talks about this in the second article for today's Blog... If you take drugs or are thinking of doing so, for say, acid reflux, you may want to read his report.
Enjoy good health...

The stink in farts controls blood pressure...
A smelly rotten-egg gas in farts controls blood pressure in mice, a new study finds.
The unpleasant aroma of the gas, called hydrogen sulfide (H2S), can be a little too familiar, as it is expelled by bacteria living in the human colon and eventually makes its way, well, out.
The new research found that cells lining mice's blood vessels naturally make the gas and this action can help keep the rodents' blood pressure low by relaxing the blood vessels to prevent hypertension (high blood pressure). This gas is "no doubt" produced in cells lining human blood vessels too, the researchers said.
"Now that we know hydrogen sulfide's role in regulating blood pressure, it may be possible to design drug therapies that enhance its formation as an alternative to the current methods of treatment for hypertension," said Johns Hopkins neuroscientist Solomon H. Snyder, M.D., a co-author of the study detailed in the Oct. 24th issue of the journal Science.
Snyder and his colleagues compared normal mice to mice that were missing a gene for an enzyme known as CSE, long suspected as being responsible for making hydrogen sulfide. As they measured hydrogen sulfide levels taken from tissues of the CSE-deficient mice, the scientists found that the gas was depleted in the cardiovascular systems of the altered mice. By contrast, normal mice had higher levels of the gas, thereby showing that hydrogen sulfide is naturally made by mammalian tissues using CSE.
Next, the mice were subjected to higher blood pressures comparable to serious hypertension in humans. Scientists had them respond to a chemical called methacholine that relaxes normal blood vessels. The blood vessels of the CSE-lacking mice hardly relaxed, indicating that hydrogen sulfide is a huge contender for regulating blood pressure.
Hydrogen sulfide is the most recently discovered member of a family of gasotransmitters, small molecules inside our bodies with important physiological functions.
This study is the first to reveal that the CSE enzyme that triggers hydrogen sulfide is activated itself in the same way as other enzymes when they trigger their respective gasotransmitter, such as a nitric oxide-forming enzyme that also regulates blood pressure, Dr. Snyder said.
Because gasotransmitters are common in mammals all over the evolutionary tree, these findings on the importance of hydrogen sulfide are thought to have broad applications to human diseases, such as diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases.
The research was supported by grants from the US Public Health Service and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research as well as a Research Scientist Award.
When the Cure Is Worse Than the Disease...
One way to build an income in private medical practice is to hook patients on drugs that continually require re-examination, testing and prescription renewal.
For example, blood thinners require prothrombin tests to determine how long it takes the blood to clot. Blood pressure pills require monitoring of blood pressure. And in the example above, once patients start taking acid-blocking medications they will find it is nearly impossible to stop taking them because withdrawal will provoke rebound acidity with throat-gripping pain.
Since the early 1990s it has been known that acid-blocking (histamine blocking) drugs commonly prescribed for heartburn create dependency. Withdrawal from the drug will create rebound hyper-acidity that causes the patient to reach for the antacid pills in desperation again. [1] , [2] To make matters worse, acid blockers may induce more, not less, disease. Stomach acid is a defense against invading pathogenic bacteria that enter the gut in food (foods are not sterile, but have low bacteria and mold counts that stomach acid normally kills). The habitual use of acid blockers may result in infection and even cancer. [3]
Most drugs don’t work, are inappropriate or are designed to make things worse.

" The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." Albert Einstein

One person dies every 33 seconds from heart disease, culminating in about 2600 deaths every single day. LEARN HOW TO NOT BE ONE OF THEM.
Whether you are concerned about heart disease or know someone who is currently dealing with it, I recommend you read this blog and pass it on to anyone you know who may need this vital information.
While many drugs have been created to treat heart disease, none of them CURE (reverse) it. They deal with altering negative symptoms like high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, increased heart rate, irregular heart rhythms, etc. While they can be helpful in making life better, with heart disease, did you know predominate alternative doctors around the world, have reversed heart disease, including reversal of enlarged hearts, sloppy valves, as well as clogged arteries and blockages. Examples: Dr. Rath, M.D., Dr. Steven Sinatra, M.D., Dr. Gary Gordon, M.D., DO, MD(H).
Dr Linus Pauling with his fellow collaborator, Dr Rath, published "A Unified Theory of Human Cardiovascular Disease Leading the Way to the Abolition of This Disease as a Cause for Human Mortality", in 1992. This monumental work has largely gone unnoticed because of the entrenched opinions and dogma of the mainstream medical community and their overseers, the multi-billion dollar international pharmaceutical industry. The fact that you have probably not heard about this discovery in the mainstream media is disturbing and speaks volumes on the power of big money and the effectiveness of the pharmaceutical industry's disinformation campaigns.
Pauline and Raths theory of CVD is so scientifically compelling and demonstrable that in 1994 they were granted the only US patent for the cure of cardiovascular disease. This was no small feat since the US Office of Patents will only grant a patent for an invention that has been demonstrated to work. The non-prescription therapy advocated by Pauling and Rath has become know as the Pauline Therapy. The efficacy of the Pauline Therapy has been amply proven in thousands of cardiovascular patients who have been so fortunate to discover the remarkable treatment. The Pauline and Rath heart protocols in lower dosage levels will prevent cardiovascular disease and in higher dosages will actually reverse arterial plaque build up and reverse heart disease! Heart patients moving to the Pauling Therapy commonly avoid open-heart surgery and angioplasty. This is accomplished by dealing directly with the root causes of CVD and arterial plaque buildup. Almost without exception patients experience rapid recovery.
How can this be? Is there really any proof that vitamin C can actually allow the heart to repair itself. I grew up being taught that was impossible. Here is but 1 sample of research that has come out recently that proves Pauling and Rath right.
"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 bio active 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."
Why was this study not front page on every news paper in America?
In this blog I have listed as much research as one would need to evaluate the facts for themselves. I not only believe this information, I have experienced the results of these protocols, in both seeing incredible results in reversing my own heart damage, and seeing it return, when I took my eyes off the Pauling/Rath Protocol, while focusing on other anti-aging nutraceuticals.
Enjoy better health today... And start getting YOUNGER...

Cardiovascular Disease: Comprehensive Analysis...
Cardiovascular disease is rarely caused by a single frailty. Rather, it is a multifaceted failure that includes physical, psychological, and genetic weaknesses. Since cardiovascular disease remains the number one killer in Western societies, there is more published scientific information about its prevention and treatment than exists for other diseases. Overlooking just one risk factor, such as elevated levels of C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, or homocysteine, could lead to the development or worsening of the heart and/or vascular disease. The Cardiovascular Disease protocol is the most comprehensive chapter in this book; we urge persons concerned with the disease to study the chapter carefully.
At least 68 million people in the United States suffer from some form of heart disease, with an estimated 1.1 million Americans annually experiencing an acute myocardial infarction (MI or heart attack). According to current statistics released from the American Heart Association, cardiovascular disease accounts for about 950,000 deaths annually (about 41% of total mortality from all causes); coronary heart disease accounts for 460,000 of those deaths. In fact, one person dies every 33 seconds from heart disease, culminating in about 2600 deaths every single day. Additionally, the scope of this insidious health problem is worldwide. Globally, cardiovascular disease accounts for almost 50% of all deaths (GSDL 2002).
Researchers reporting in the American Journal of Critical Care further unsettled the scientific community when they declared that 50% of patients with coronary artery disease do not have any of the traditional risk factors (Futterman et al. 1998). In fact, 50% of all individuals 50 years or younger who die from heart disease succumb without any established signs of heart disease. Does this mean that traditional risk factors are no longer valid? The intent of this material is to answer that question by providing a comprehensive review of contemporary and novel risk factors that contribute to cardiovascular disease and a complete dialogue regarding treatment options available to patients.

Why Animals Don't Get Heart Attacks - But People Do...
Dr. Matthias Rath, M.D.
Only once in the course of human events comes the time when heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular conditions are being eradicated. That time is now. Just as the discovery
that microorganisms are the cause of infectious diseases led to the control of infectious epidemics, so will the discovery that heart attacks and strokes are the result of long-term vitamin deficiencies lead to the control of the cardiovascular disease epidemic. Mankind can eradicate heart disease as a major cause of death and disability during the 21st century.
Animals don't get heart attacks because they produce vitamin C in their bodies, which protects their blood vessel walls. In humans, who are unable to produce vitamin C, dietary vitamin
deficiency of this nutrient weakens the blood vessel walls. Cardiovascular disease is an early form of scurvy. Clinical studies document that the optimum daily intake of vitamins and other
essential nutrients halts and reverses coronary heart disease naturally. These essential nutrients supply vital bioenergy to millions of heart and blood vessel cells, thereby optimizing
cardiovascular function. An optimum supply of vitamins and other essential nutrients can prevent and help correct cardiovascular conditions naturally. Heart attacks, strokes, high
blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, heart failure, circulatory problems in diabetes and other cardiovascular problems will be essentially unknown in future generations.
The eradication of heart disease is the next great goal uniting all mankind. The availability of vitamins and other essential nutrients needed to control the global cardiovascular disease
epidemic is unlimited. The eradication of heart disease is dependent on one single factor: how fast we can spread the message that vitamins and other essential nutrients are the solution to the cardiovascular disease epidemic.

Heart Failure Patients Respond Well To Beta-blocker Drugs...
Heart failure patients who undergo beta-blocker therapy tolerated the treatment well and had less heart failure deterioration than placebo drugs, researchers at Yale School of Medicine and other institutions report in the July 12 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine. Beta-blockers are any of a group of drugs widely used in the treatment of patients with heart disease and hypertension. The drugs decrease the rate and force of heart contraction by blocking the beta-adrenergic receptors of the autonomic nervous system.

Reports of serious drug reactions hit record...
The number of serious drug reactions and deaths reported to the government shot up in the first three months of this year to set a new record, a health industry watchdog group said Wednesday. The Food and Drug Administration received nearly 21,000 reports of serious drug reactions, including more than 4,800 deaths, said an analysis of federal data by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices. Two drugs accounted for a large share of the latest reports. One was the blood thinner heparin. Most of the drug's problems were prompted by tainted heparin imported from China. The other was Chantix, a new kind of anti-smoking drug from Pfizer.

High-dose copper reverses heart enlargement ...
Relatively high doses of copper may help reverse unhealthy enlargement of the heart, according to a new study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine. The research was led by scientists at the University of Louisville Medical Center in Kentucky, in collaboration with Agricultural Research Service scientists from the Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center in North Dakota. The researchers fed a group of mice with enlarged hearts the equivalent of three times the human recommended daily allowance of copper. The mice that had been fed copper experienced a reversal of cardiac hypertrophy -- enlarged heart -- symptoms, whereas the non-supplemented mice did not.

Vitamin C: There May Be a Modern Chronic Deficiency ...
Vitamin C. Mmmm . . . maybe you think of a tall glass of Florida orange juice. Or maybe you grab it at the beginning of the cold season. But would you associate it with cardiovascular disease (CVD) or cancer? Maybe you should. According to an article published in October 2007, in the Journal of Nutrition, there is accumulating scientific evidence that very large (therapeutic) doses of vitamin C may be effective in treating both CVD and cancer. In addition, some scientists have hypothesized that the onset of these common degenerative diseases may actually be due to a vitamin C deficiency in the general population. Dr. Steven Hickey and Dr. Hilary Roberts with the Vitamin C Foundation and authors of the book 'Ascorbate: the Science of Vitamin C', have gone so far as to suggest that heart disease is actually a chronic form of the vitamin C deficiency disease called scurvy. If we ate the recommended 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day, we'd easily consume double the RDA for vitamin C and likely a lot more. According to Linus Pauling, a two time Nobel Prize winning chemist who is noted for his vitamin C research, our early human ancestors probably consumed 2,300 mg/day to 9,500 mg/day of vitamin C from their plant-based diet. This is 25 to 100 times more than today's RDA for an adult man!

Dr Linus Pauling's Unified Theory of Cardiovascular Disease ...
Over ten years ago, the two-time Nobel prize Laureate, Dr Linus Pauling and his associate Dr Matthias Rath, advocated and published a definitive thesis on the root cause, treatment, and actual cure for all forms of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including congestive heart failure, heart disease, and stroke. Today, cardiovascular related health problems together comprise fully one half of all causes of death in the US. Pauling and Rath's brilliant analysis of CVD is absolutely compelling and amply supported by numerous epidemiological and clinical studies. His unified theory of CVD constitutes one of the greatest breakthroughs in modern science, and yet has been almost completely ignored by the mainstream medical establishment, and received almost no press.

Coronary Heart Disease Is an Early Form of Scurvy...
Dr. Rath’s research reveals that coronary heart disease occurs exactly for the same reason that clinical (early) scurvy does – a deficiency of vitamin C in the cells composing the artery wall. Humans, unlike animals, develop heart disease because their bodies cannot produce vitamin C. The average diet provides enough vitamin C to prevent scurvy, but not enough to guarantee stable artery walls. As a consequence of vitamin C deficiency, millions of tiny cracks and lesions develop in the artery walls. Subsequently, cholesterol, lipoproteins and other blood risk factors enter the damaged artery walls to repair these lesions.

ONE PHARMACIST’S VIEW OF CORONARY HEART DISEASE: COMPARING THE “LIPID THEORY” WITH THE “UNIFIED THEORY”...
By Mike Ciell, R.Ph.
Conventional wisdom argues that cholesterol, an oily substance produced in the body, is the enemy and must be managed to prevent coronary heart disease. Fighting cholesterol is inherent in the “Lipid Theory” of heart disease. Alternatively, Linus Pauling, two-time Nobel laureate and Ph.D. and Matthias Rath, M.D., created the “Unified Theory” of heart disease, identifying vitamin C, L-lysine, and L-proline as critical nutritional agents that could both improve blood vessel function (flow) and reduce cholesterol plaques (blockages). Some researchers have said that vitamin C is the equivalent of “nature’s perfect statin.”

Nutrition in the news this week... And a few warnings as well...
Highlights in todays blog include new research that shows why it is not a good idea to have frequent CT Scans, even though they may be recommended by your doctor. Why I do not recommend using sun screens and use vitamin D and antioxidants instead. Also, more good news on Resveratrol, Curcumin, Magnesium, Black Cohosh , Alpha lipoic acid and L-acetyl-Carnitine, and of coarse, exercise. And, last but not least, a video on Anti-Cancer Foods you should consume.

A surge in the use of CT scans in the last 25 years has led to millions of patients per year being unnecessarily exposed to dangerous radiation that increases their risk of cancer, according to a paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine."It has been estimated that about 0.4 percent of all cancers in the United States may be attributable to the radiation from CT studies," the authors wrote. Because cancer can take a decade to appear, "this estimate might now be in the range of 1.5 to 2.0 percent" when adjusted for the current level of CT use.

Resveratrol and Curcumin Protect Against Neurodegenerative Diseases...
Modern medicine has verified the therapeutic value of curcumin, particularly as an anti-inflammatory agent with strong antioxidant properties. This makes it potentially useful in neurodegenerative diseases, in which both oxidative stress and inflammation play important roles. Curcumin acts as a neuroprotectant, shielding the brain’s neurons from some of the damage for which such diseases are notorious. Among the numerous specific actions that have been observed (in laboratory cell cultures) are the inhibition of amyloid-beta and the induction of heme oxygenase-1, an enzyme that protects against oxidative stress. Also, “Resveratrol is an efficient protective molecule against MPTP-induced brain lesions and may serve as a comple-mentary and/or preventive therapy in neurodegenerative diseases.“

Magnesium: Widespread Deficiency with Deadly Consequences...
“Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. There is an increased interest in the role of magnesium in preventing and managing disorders such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.”

CDC Finds 97 Percent of Americans Contaminated by Sunscreens ...
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) released a new study showing that nearly all Americans are contaminated with oxybenzone, a widely-used sunscreen ingredient. This chemical so far has been linked to allergies, hormone disruption, and cell damage, as well as low birth weight in baby girls whose mothers are exposed during pregnancy. Oxybenzone is also a penetration enhancer, a chemical that helps other chemicals penetrate the skin. So where has the FDA been on this?

The health of the world economy...
Normally I blog about health, wellness and anti-aging news, but today I thought I would help people understand what's going on in this financial crisis and just how bad it really is.
60 Minutes did a very good job explaining the problem and who's to blame, in layman's terms, and if you missed it, I think you should watch these set of video segments. If you thought 700 Billion was a lot to pay to get bailed out, try 60 Trillion on for size. That is how big this blow up is and why, even though it was created here by Wall Street, it has now effected every country in the world, and yes, it will effect you and I, if it hasn't already.
Click on the link below and then push PLAY on the first segment called "A Full Blown Financial Storm". It should automatically show you a set of segments, one after another, with a few short ads thrown in of coarse. These will explain better than I have seen explained anywhere else, who, why and how this all got started and just how big it really is.
It's short and to the point, just the highlights.
Stay healthy and watch your stress levels... Nutritional needs go way up in times like these.

Wall Street's Shadow Market: Credit Default Swaps
On Friday Congress finally passed a financial rescue package to buy up Wall Street's bad investments. The numbers are staggering, but they don't begin to explain the greed and incompetence that created this mess. It began with a terrible bet that was magnified by reckless borrowing, complex securities and a vast unregulated shadow market worth nearly $60 trillion that hid the risks until it was too late to do anything about them, and it's far from being over.
