Risk takers crave dopamine

The findings support Zald’s theory that people who take risks get an unusually big hit of dopamine each time they have a novel experience, because their brains are not able to inhibit the neurotransmitter adequately. That blast makes them feel good, so they keep returning for the rush from similarly risky or new behaviors, just like the addict seeking the next high.  more from Time

Resveratrol kills cancer cells

Grape extract kills cancer cells

Resveretrol — found in grapes – Previous research has shown grapeseed extract has an effect on skin, breast, bowel, lung, stomach and prostate cancer cells in the laboratory.  It can also reduce the size of breast tumours in rats and skin tumours in mice.  However, the University of Kentucky study is the first to test its impact on a blood cancer.  Lead researcher Professor Xianglin Shi said: “These results could have implications for the incorporation of agents such as grapeseed extract into prevention or treatment of haematological (blood) malignancies and possibly other cancers.  ”What everyone seeks is an agent that has an effect on cancer cells but leaves normal cells alone, and this shows that grapeseed extract fits into this category.”      more from BBC

Restricted blood flow to brain (from cardiovascular disease) leads to Alzheimer’s

 

Public Release: 24-Dec-2008
 Neuron
Brain starvation as we age appears to trigger Alzheimer’s
A slow, chronic starvation of the brain as we age appears to be a major trigger of a biochemical process that causes some forms of Alzheimer’s disease. A new study from Northwestern University has found when the brain doesn’t get enough sugar glucose — as when cardiovascular disease restricts blood flow to the brain — a process is launched that produces the sticky clumps of protein that appear to be a cause of Alzheimer’s.

Child care relationships tied to kids’ stress levels

WEDNESDAY, Nov. 19 (HealthDay News) –

Bickering parents and poor caregiver relationships each increase levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) in children, new studies say.

• Long-term or frequent rises in cortisol can have negative health consequences. 
• The first study, which looked at 191 full-time day-care children, found that many preschoolers experience increasing levels of cortisol throughout the day, the opposite of how the hormone is produced in most humans.
• In the second study, higher cortisol levels were found in children distressed by their parents’ fighting.
  • Children who become very upset when their parents fight are more likely to develop psychological problems and have higher cortisol levels.
  • Study leader Patrick T. Davies, professor of psychology at the University of Rochester, said in a news release from the journal’s publisher, “Because higher levels of cortisol have been linked to a wide range of mental and physical health difficulties, high levels of cortisol may help explain why children who experience high levels of distress when their parents argue are more likely to experience later health problems.”

• promotes liver health
• detoxifies the body
• relieve pain and stiffness of arthritis/bursitis

• alleviate postmenopausal “hot flashes”. 1
• If cut before it blooms, alfalfa is low in fiber and high in energy. 
• improves soil structure and condition, and controls weeds in subsequent crop rotations.
• Alfalfa is a good source of protein, B-complex vitamins, and certain minerals, including calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, and potassium.
• Alfalfa could help prevent fatigue associated with vitamin/mineral deficiency or protein energy malnutrition in disadvantaged parts of the world. 
• absorbs significant quantities of cholesterol. The direct interaction of saponins and cholesterol is thought to be responsible for the ability of alfalfa and other saponin-containing plant materials to reverse diet induced cholesterolemia in rats. Alfalfa saponins also interact with cholesterol found in intestinal cell membranes. This potentially alters cholesterol metabolism by interfering with intestinal absorption of cholesterol. 3
• absorbs bile acids in the small intestine which then enter the large intestine and are eliminated along with steroids.  Since steroids normally facilitate cholesterol absorption, their elimination provides another possible mechanism to reverse or prevent cholesterolemia. 4

IBS to Colitis to Cancer?

How can IBS lead to Cancer?

 

CAUSE and PROGRESSION

• IBS develops when people eat less than 25-50 grams of fiber a day or have a Candida Infection.
  • IBS is chronic constipation, alternating constipation and diarrhea, spastic colon, abdominal cramps and tenderness, mucas, abdominal bloating and gas, or incomplete evacuation.
• IBS can lead to Ulcerations & Inflammation.  (Source: Dr. Mark Bowles)

• Colitis is chronic inflammation of the intestine.  The two most common types are Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s disease (which involves the small and large intestine).
• Colitis can cause Diverticulosis. (Source: Dr. Mark Bowles)

•  
  • A diverticulum is a bulge of the inner colon lining through the colon’s muscular wall to its outer surface. 
  • Diverticulitis occurs when undigested foods become hard and dry, causing the colon walls to strain and break. 
  • A local infection in the colon develops, causing subsequent pain in the lower left corner of the abdomen, sometimes accompanied by fever and chills.
  • Many with Diverticulosis have been given the bad advice of severely restricting fiber.  Lack of fiber worsens the condition.
  • Fatty foods, Candida Infection and stress aggravate the condition.
• Diverticulosis increases the risk of Colon Cancer as damaged cells replicate.

Eat Tyson chicken? Be aware.

If You Eat Tyson Chicken – you need to know this…

Submitted by Whole Food And More

Tyson Foods, the world’s largest meat processor and the second largest chicken producer in the U.S., has admitted that it injects its chickens with antibiotics before they hatch and then labels them as raised without antibiotics.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has told Tyson to stop using the antibiotic-free label, but the company has sued for the right to keep using it.

Poultry farmers regularly treat chickens and other birds with antibiotics. But scientists have become increasingly concerned that the routine use of antibiotics in animal agriculture may accelerate the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

After Tyson began labeling its chicken antibiotic-free, the USDA warned the company that such labels were not truthful, because Tyson regularly treats its birds’ feed with bacteria-killing ionophores. Tyson argued that ionophores are antimicrobials rather than antibiotics, and are not used on human patients. Tyson suggested a compromise which was eventually accepted by the USDA — they would use a label reading “raised without antibiotics that impact antibiotic resistance in humans.”

Tyson’s competitors Perdue Farms Inc., Sanderson Farms Inc. and Foster Farms sued, and in May 2008, a federal judge ruled in their favor and told Tyson to stop using the label. Not long after, USDA inspectors discovered that in addition to using ionophores, Tyson was regularly injecting its chicken eggs with gentamicin, an antibiotic that has been used for more than 30 years.

The agency told Tyson that based on the new discovery, it would no longer consider the antibiotic-free label “truthful and accurate.” Tyson objected again, claiming that because the antibiotics are injected before the chickens hatched, the birds can truthfully be said to be “raised without antibiotics.” Tyson has filed a lawsuit against the USDA, claiming that the agency had improperly changed the definition of “raised without antibiotics” to include the treatment of eggs.

Polycystic Ovaries – Insulin Resistance – Heart disease – Infertility

Insulin resistance : a root cause of PCOS

Problems managing polycystic ovarian syndrome?  It may not be due to lack of willpower. Instead, you could be Insulin Resistant, a root cause of PCOS. Scientists at the National Institutes of Health, Stanford University and other research centers have clearly identified the existence and effects of Insulin Resistance, a biochemical condition that can cause excessive weight gain and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.

 

PCOS and Insulin Resistance

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a hormonal imbalance linked to the way the body processes insulin after it has been produced by the pancreas to regulate blood sugar (glucose). Insulin Resistance could be caused by:

• genetic predisposition
• high stress
• unhealthy lifestyles
• environmental toxins (hygiene products, herbicides / pesticides / industrial growth fertilizers)

 

Insulin resistant cells

Over time, the above factors have damaged the complex ability of the body’s cells to properly utilize insulin to convert glucose to energy. This process creates Insulin Resistance.

Insulin Resistance vastly reduces the insulin sensitivity of cells, which impairs the processing of glucose through the cell wall for conversion to energy. As a result, glucose remains in the blood stream, causing elevated levels of blood sugar, which are sent to the liver. Once there, the sugar is converted into fat and stored via the blood stream throughout the body. This process can lead to weight gain and obesity, key factors in creating PCOS, which is also referred to as Polycystic Ovarian Disease or PCOD.

 

Insulin Resistance can also cause PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)  is by raising insulin levels in the blood stream. Unhealthy lifestyles and genetic conditions can lead to the pancreas overproducing insulin. This excess insulin stimulates the ovaries to produce large amounts of the male hormone testosterone, which may prevent the ovaries from releasing an egg each month, thus causing infertility. High levels of insulin also increase the conversion of androgens (male hormones) to estrogens (female hormones), upsetting a delicate balance between the two and having a direct effect on weight gain and the formation of cystic follicles or ovarian cysts.

 

 

Symptoms of PCOS

The symptoms  vary widely from woman to woman. Because the symptoms vary so widely and not all women display all the symptoms, doctors very often misdiagnose PCOS. This became an issue of critical concern after a study in 2000 found that women suffering from PCOS have a higher risk of coronary heart disease.

• polycystic ovaries
• irregular or completely absent periods,
• Hirsutism (excessive facial or body hair),
• Alopecia (male pattern hair loss),
• obesity,
• acne,
• skin tags (raisin-like growths on the skin),
• Acanthosis Nigricans (brown skin patches),
• exhaustion or lack of mental alertness
• decreased sex drive.
• high blood pressure
• high levels of LDL “bad” cholesterol
• atherosclerosis, which occurs when fatty deposits called plaque cling to the interior walls of the arteries, leading to blockages that can cause heart attacks or stroke. Not only do PCOS sufferers have higher rates of plaque buildup but those over 45 have thicker deposits of plaque.
• up to 40% of women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome have either impaired glucose tolerance or Type 2 Diabetes by the age of 40.

Endometriosis alleviated, finally.

 

Endometriosis.

 

I had this pain 25 out of 28 days each month for a number of years.  It was diagnosed through symptomology first, then surgical laporoscapy.

 

Doctors recommended:

1. Morphine
2. birth control
3. laporoscapy surgery every couple years

I choose the laporoscapy surgery.  Unfortunately, because I still had the candida overgrowth, the endo returned within a few months.  I began searching alternative medicine archives. 

 

Alternative Approach: 

I tried this for 3 years, without cheating.

1. organic, mostly raw food diet, no hormones or antibiotics
2. purified water
3. excercize (5-45 min day on mini trampoline, aerobic, stretching)
4. avoided 37 food allergens (including dairy, wheat, egg, some beans, etc)
5. no refined sugar, caffiene, chemical preservatives or food dyes
6. many brands of supplements (starting with cheap ones, ending with expensive brands.
7. followed candida diet (no sugars, vinegars, processed meats, etc)

After 3 years of disciplined struggle, I still had Endometriosis and systemic Candida Overgrowth.

 

What finally worked:

I got rid of endo and the candida infection with Shaklee’s technology based products. :

1. ALKALINE CELLS: Created with Energizing Soy, Vitalizer, Osteomatrix & Alfalfa
2. DIET: As Shaklee strengthened my body and my food allergies were overcome, I gradually add in more foods.
3. CANDIDA: killing the candida overgrowth (which is usually the root cause of endo.)
4. SCAR TISSUE: dissolved with Fiber Plan
5. ENDOMETRIAL LINING: repaired with antioxidants (A, B, C, E)  
6. NERVOUS SYSTEM: balanced with B-complex
7. HORMONES/ CELLULAR REJUVINATION: balanced with lots of Energizing Soy Protein
8. HORMONES / INFLAMMATION: balanced with essential oils (omegaguard, gla, lecithin)
9. DNA REPAIR: repaired damage DNA with Vivix  (which also rebalances hormones, keeps candida astray and keeps inflamation down)
10. EXCERCIZE: (5-45 min day on mini trampoline, aerobic, stretching)

 

Will it alleviate your pain?

Do you have endo or candida overgrowth? 

• Take quiz to find out.  (endo quiz, candida quiz)
• If you give your correct contact info, I’ll share and discuss your results with you.

Overwhelmed? Stressed?

• What is making you feel overwhelmed?
  • LEARNING CURVE?  It’s natural and expected that our minds will be on overdrive every time we learn a new skill, subject, job, etc.  It’s part of the learning curve.  In time, all the new skills will come automatically.  Now, I give myself a pat on the back with each new skill and a little hug of patience when I don’t have the skill yet.
  • TOO COMPLICATED OR NO PLAN?  The simpler it is, the better it will work.  If overwhelmed, it helps to clarified your plan & make sure you haven’t gone away from it. I’m learning to make a list, keep the objective simple and clear and only do activities which directly relate to accomplishing the task.  Then, I get to check mark it!   
    • Here’s an example: choice:  Spend 5 hrs on a newsletter to make it perfect or 1 hour simple newsletter and 4 hrs inviting or following up?  The second choice produces more income and helps more people.  With extra income I can hire someone to make the newsletter and use the remaining hour for follow up.  Hmmm.
  • PERFECTIONIST/CRITICAL?  Have some ‘mean voices’ in the mind that ‘lie’ about how you should do everything perfectly?  The cool thing about free will is that you get to turn the voices off if you want to. 
  • DISTRACTION?  Others control your time?  Can’t say no?  No routine for household peace?  Decide what’s most important and focus there, not everywhere.  Make sure it’s your definition of important, not everyone else’s demands.

Do you relate to any of these?

Sugar Sickness Alternatives

 

Deadly sweet? ‌

• Refined sugar is a simple carbohydrate because its been stripped of its nutrients. A sugar plant has nutrients. Sugar cane and molasses are more directly utilized, not extracted, and carry more of the nutrients to metabolize sugar.  more about sugar
• Sugar drives insulin levels to abnormal heights, causing Type 2 Diabetes or Syndrome X.
• Sugar depresses the immune system by slowing the ability of white blood cells to kill infection.  Think of a group of kids just after a sugary cereal breakfast; they’re very susceptible to passing around viruses and bacteria.
  • “Eating or drinking 100 grams (8 tbsp.) of sugar, the equivalent of about two cans of soda, can reduce the ability of white blood cells to kill germs by forty percent.  The immune-suppressing effect of sugar starts less than thirty minutes after ingestion and may last for five hours.” (from Feeding Your Immune System) 
• Our body deals with excess sugar by creating more insulin.
  • What is the purpose of Insulin‌?  It is a hormone secreted by the pancreas. Its main function is to store energy from food. Only a small amount of carbs are stored as glycogen, the rest are converted into triglycerides. Yes, triglycerides! 
  • Why is insulin fluctuation problematic?  Cells become resistant when too much insulin is pumped. They turn off their insulin receptors and are not ready to receive energy from food. The cells are trying to protect themselves from the excess, so they send a signal that they’ve had enough.
• Sugar depletes B vitamins and harms the nervous system.  Adrenaline is made from B vitamins; stress causes adrenaline production.  If too much adrenaline enters the system, cortisol is produced.  Cortisol harms many processes, including the nervous system.
• Sugar harms digestion because it feeds candida which can lead to candida infection.
• Sugar creates an acidic body system. (not acidic blood ph, but acidic cells created by consuming certain food types)  Acidic cells lead to all types of disease (allergy, cancer, diabetes, endo, candida, arthritis, etc.)

Alternatives to refined sugar? ‌

• Artificial sweetners:
  • The food industry has tried to create chemical imitations for sugar to help us avoid calories. Water is the only drink that truly has zero calories. A chemical concoction like diet soda dehydrates the body because it takes water away to dissolve and try to break down those chemicals.  All of the chemical sweetners have side effects.
  • Aspartame, or Nutra Sweet (brand name), is found in so many drinks, yogurts, gums, usually in food items traditionally sweetened with sugar, which people have decided they want to avoid, either to avoid calorie intake or tooth decay.
    • When the FDA approved aspartame, it was never intended to become so widely used, and the threshold for consumption by which they figured it would be “safe” for humans is usually surpassed by anyone taking more than one serving per day.
    • It was tested only in its powder form and then it was stated that it does not produce cancer in the animals, but does produce brain lesions.
    • In its liquid form it turns into poisonous wood alcohol (methanol). Methanol is stored in the liver and accumulates. 
    • Discovered by accident through biological warfare research and has become entrenched in our food supply.
    • Aspartame is linked to the rise in the rate of childhood seizures. (adapted from Chemical Crazy and Insulin Resistant by Sherrie Attila)
• Natural Sweetners:
  • Sucanat is non-refined cane sugar which retains its molasses content. The pure dried cane juice is extracted by mechanical processes, heated and cooled at which point the small brown grainy crystals are formed. (from WikiPedia)
  • Xylitol is extracted from fruit, usually strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries. It is safe and good for preventing tooth decay. Many chewing gums and natural toothpastes are made with xylitol.  
    • Both sucanat and xylitol are able to be measured and used in a way similar to white sugar in cooking and baking.
  • Agave Nectar is a cactus plant similar to aloe vera. It doesn’t effect blood sugar levels.
  • Stevia is a sweet herb, not a sugary substance. It can be in liquid or powder and is measured in drops and has no effect on blood sugar.
  • Honey sugars are surrounded by nutrients to metabolize the sugar.  In recipies, increase flour or decrease liquid, add a bit of baking soda and powder.
  • Maple Syrup sugars are surrounded by nutrients to metabolize the sugar
  • Molasses is sugar which is not refined or whitened. It contains a good compliment of B vitamins. The strong flavor makes it inappropriate for some recipes. Available in granule form.
  • Ground dates add sweetness and fiber.
  • Applesauce adds moisture and sweetness.
  • Ground grapes add moisture and sweetness.

Sugar may be entrenched in our diets, but nutritious additions and alternatives can be found. Some families may wish to delete sugar completely. Artificial sweeteners should be avoided. Any change you can make to control sugar intake will be an improvement, and step by step, we can all build healthier habits.

Water bottles – heart disease and diabetes?

 

JAMA Raises Concerns about BPA

–Dr. Jamie McManus, M.D., FAAFP
Chairman, Medical Affairs, Health Sciences & Education

BPA – what is it?  It is a chemical modifier used in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Polycarbonate plastics typically are clear and hard and have many applications, including use in certain food and beverage packaging such as water and infant bottles, as well as compact discs, impact-resistant safety equipment, and medical devices.  About 7 billion pounds of BPA are produced worldwide each year.

Problems BPA causes?  cardiovascular disease (coronary heart disease, heart attack, angina), diabetes, liver enzyme abnormalities, brain damage, developmental abnormalities, precancerous changes, metabolic syndrome, etc. 

Why BPA causes these problems?  Possibly, BPA is a hormone disruptor or modulator and causes pancreatic cells to increase insulin production.

Who is at risk?  In 2007, the CDC found BPA in the urine of nearly 93% tested.  This indicates widespread exposure to BPA in the US.  Who has the highest levels?   Children, then females, then males.

Shaklee’s response:  Shaklee’s first commitment is to product safety and, as such, our product packaging is free of BPA.

Tips to reduce Exposure to BPA:

1. Avoid Reusable Polycarbonate (labeled #7) plastic water and baby bottles, which tend to be hard, clear and colorful. Choose polyethylene or glass.  
2. Avoid Polycarbonate Plastic Food Containers and Tableware. These may also be labeled “PC” underneath a plastic code #7 in the recycling triangle on the bottom of the container. Use instead: BPA-free plastics with the recycling labels #1, #2, or #4 and #5, ceramic or glass. Soft or cloudy-colored plastic containers do not usually contain BPA.
3. Minimize the use of canned food & drink, especially tomato sauces because the high acidity causes more chemical leaching. Choose foods which are fresh, frozen, or stored in glass. The recent study by EWG found BPA in more than half of the 97 canned goods that were tested.
4. Ask your dentist for BPA-free sealants and composite fillings.
5. Avoid microwaving or heating any food in plastic containers because heat may release chemicals into food.

Cloudy, throbbing, stuffed up?

When the leaves fall, do your airways constrict and sinuses congest?  Do your throbbing headaches prevent you from enjoying the fall colors?  I remember when my eyes would tear up so badly that a film would cloud my vision and cover my contact lenses.  It’d  make everything from driving to reading difficult.  So, I’d wear my glasses, wipe my eyes and hope for the best.  That is, until infection set in.

The allergy whirlwind 

• clear, runny nose
• cracking ears
• sore throat
• constricted airways
• constricted sinus cavities
• thicker mucas
• cloudy vision
• headache
• neck ache
• swollen glands
• infection sets in
• productivity & focus depletes
• miserable

Old, broken techniques

Here’s what I used to do…

• blow nose
• wipe eyes
• take allergy meds
• sleep more
• drink more water
• eat comfort food (ie. chocolate malt ball ice-cream)
• wear glasses instead of contacts
• get antibiotics from my doctor
• finish antibiotic cycle
• two weeks later, get antibiotics again
• all fall, winter and spring
• summer was my only hope, untill ragweed blooming.  Arggghhh!

Sound familiar?

Sing a new song.  “Free at last!”

I’ve learned some simple and effective techniques to help overcome and avoid this cumbersome cycle.   I hope they help you!

• Raise the immune system so histamine isn’t produced when in contact with ‘allergens’.   How? 
  • Energizing Soy Protein
  • Vitalizer
  • Nutriferon
• Avoid sugar (which lowers the immune system and uses up antioxidants).
• Distinguish acquired allergies from actual allergies; avoid actual allergens
• Thin the mucas.  How? 
  • alfalfa (thins mucas, reduces inflamation & raises immunity.) 
  • What if you’re allergic to grasses?  Don’t worry, for most people Shaklee’s alfalfa isn’t allergy causing because we only use the leaves, not the stems of the plant.  Also, we only use mature alfalfa leaves so the root systems go deep into the soil.  Why is this important?  When you take our alfalfa, you get the trace minerals found deep within the earth which can raise your immunity. 
  • Take acidophilus to thin intestinal mucas.  Much of the immune system effectiveness is in the intestine.
  • Hydrate with purified water to thin the mucas and avoid infection.
  • Avoid mucas producing foods like dairy.
• If congested, irrigate the sinuses immediately.   This removes excessive thick mucas, kills infection and reduces inflamation. 
• Soothe sore throat with echanacea & zinc
• Kill infection
• Breathe clean air.

Infection Relief

NOTE:

To effectively kill infection, it’s important that the product you’re using:

• has no contamination
• is consistantly the same formulation
• has enough active ingredient
• is made with the most pure raw ingredients
• is processed so the enzymes are still alive. 

 If these specifications aren’t met, the product won’t be strong enough to kill the infection.  All of our products exceed these specifications.

 

FIGHT INFECTION: virus, flu, cold, ear, sinus

Every 5 hours till infection is completely gone:

• 5 garlic
• 2 sustained release vita C (till loose stools, then back down to 3 a day till infection leaves) 
• 10 alfalfa
• 3 TBS Energizing Soy Protein
• 20 ounces purified water
• irrigate sinuses (if needed)
• organic onion juice drops in ear if infected  (This smells bad but often relieves the pain within 15 minutes.)

 

 

ANTIBIOTIC WARNING

If you used an antibiotic, the good flora of the intestine will be destroyed.  Be sure to replenish the healthy flora (acidophilus) in intestine before the yeast (Candida) get overgrown.  Your choice of acidophilus is important because if it can’t arrive in your intestines alive, pass the hydrochloric acid of the stomach, it won’t help the body.  Shaklee’s patented ‘pearl coating’ ensures live flora get delivered to your intestine. 

Candida overgrowth?  Test here.  (If you don’t include proper contact info, I won’t be able to send you your results.)

 

SKIN INFECTION

• Soak infected body part in 1 gallon water with 1/2 teas Basic G for 20 min as often as possible (1-3 times daily)
• Rub area with antibacterial herbal cream
• Strenthen immune system with Vivix

Lead-Contaminated Vitamins!

Drop-wrist?  Blue line on gums?  Anxiety?  You may have lead contamination.

The FDA uncovers that lead is found in many vitamins.  Shaklee vitamins do not contain lead! 

Lead toxicity (emedicine, Wikepedia) lowers the immune system, causes neurological (ADD, memory & anxiety) and fertility problems. 

Symptoms and effects

The symptoms of chronic lead poisoning include neurological problems, such as reduced cognitive abilities, or nausea, abdominal pain, irritability, insomnia, metal taste in oral cavity, excess lethargy or hyperactivity, chest pain, headache and, in extreme cases, seizure and coma. There are also associated gastrointestinal problems, such as constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, poor appetite, weight loss, which are common in acute poisoning. Other associated effects are anemia, kidney problems, and reproductive problems.

In humans, lead toxicity sometimes causes the formation of a bluish line along the gums, which is known as the “Burton’s line”, although this is very uncommon in young children. Blood film examination may reveal “basophilic stippling” of red blood cells, as well as the changes normally associated with iron-deficiency anemia (microcytosis and hypochromia). However, basophillic stippling is also seen in unrelated conditions, such as megaloblastic anemia caused by vitamin B12 (colbalamin) and folate deficiencies.^[14]

Lead affects the peripheral and central nervous system. The most common sign of peripheral neuropathy due to chronic lead poisoning is painless wristdrop (weakness of the extensor muscles of hand) which usually develops after many weeks of exposure.

A direct link between early lead exposure and extreme learning disability has been confirmed by multiple researchers and child advocacy groups.

A May 2000 study by economic consultant Rick Nevin theorizes that lead exposure explains 65% to 90% of the variation in violent crime rates in the U.S.^[15][16]. A July 2007 paper by the same author claims to show a strong association between preschool blood lead and subsequent crime rate trends over several decades across nine different countries^[17]. These results were discussed in a July 2007 Washington Post article, reviving interest in the subject^[18]. Nevin’s results reflect peer reviewed findings by Dartmouth Political Scientist Roger D. Masters,^{[19] [20]}and similar work is being done by other researchers. Amherst economist Jessica Reyes’ working paper^[21] and Masters’ work are both pre-publication and available online.

STEPS

1. Day 1-6 Drink 1 quart of apple cider (or fresh extracted juices) daily & eat as much vegitarian diet (fat free) as you need.
2. Day 6 @ noon: eat your lunch
3. Day 6 @ 3 pm: 2 teas epsom salts dissolved in one ounce hot water followed by a little citrus juice for taste
4. Day 6 @ 5: repeat #3
5. Day 6 @ evening meal: only citrus juices or fruits
6. Day 6 @ bedtime: whip in a blender 1/2 cup warm olive oil & 1/2 cup lemon juice.  Drink quickly (not slowly)  (Some people occasionally reported slight nausea which disappears soon.  On rare occasions vomiting occurs.  It’s not necessary to drink the mixture again.)
7. Day 6 after olive oil / lemon juice: go to bed. Lie on your right side with your right knee pulled up close to your chest for at least 30 minutes.

Causes? 

A variety of factors can cause the stomach to cramp or intestine to get ‘clogged’ or coated, leading to mal-absorption or allergy issues.

• insufficient fiber: most Americans eat 5-7 grams of fiber (recommended 25-50 grams)
• Candida overgrowth causing ‘leaky gut’ (microscopic holes in intestinal walls allowing foods to enter bloodstream and causing histamine overproduction & antibody formation)
• insufficient pure water intake
• too much refined sugar
• too many processed foods stripped of live enzymes
• inefficient enzyme production or hydrochloric acid in the stomach
• food allergy / sensitivity causing undigested food to coat the intestine

Our Master Cleanse

 

10 days to a Better You.

 

 

Why cleanse? 

• Cleansing makes people feel better and look younger.
• Because of the chemicals found in food, air, water & environment, glandular systems are crippled, causing depression, obesity, fatigue, & frequently illness.
• No other animal could survive if they ate the chemicals humans eat. 
• Even humans that come from indigenous parts of the world become deathly ill when they adopt the “Western” diet. 
• Our bodies are sick & polluted, & just like neglected machines, they suffer when not running at peak efficiency.  
• Our Master Cleanse can help change that.  It’s not magic; it flushes out the waste that’s putting a huge burden on every organ in your body.
• Dr Bernard Jensen explains how internal waste poisons the entire body:

“The heavy mucus coating in the colon thickens and becomes a host of putrefaction. The blood capillaries to the colon begin to pick up the toxins, poisons and noxious debris as it seeps through the bowel wall. All tissues and organs of the body are now taking on toxic substances. Here is the beginning of true autointoxication on a physiological level.”

~ Dr Bernard Jensen, DC, ND, Ph.D.

Thankfully Our Master Cleanse can eliminate waste and reverse lots of damage.

 

Tried & failed?

Tried the original Lemonade Master Cleanse (1950s) and failed?  Why?

• hunger
• fatigue
• cravings
• blood sugar imbalance
• lack of protein
• too many toxins to eliminate
• detox effect

 

Solution?

Science has solved these problems by adding specific products & foods. 

our-master-cleanse-recipe   1 serving size.  Drink 6-12 a day. 1 TBS Instant, Energizing Soy Protein, or Cinch 2 TBS of organic lemon juice 1/2-2 TBS of organic grade B maple syrup 1/10 tsp organic ground cayenne pepper 10 oz of filtered water 3-6 alfalfa tabs 1 free food At bedtime: Herb Lax  (Instructions) If possible, include a detox therapeutic bath each day.

• To maintain freshness, prepare only enough for 1 day. (6-12 servings each day).

Cleanse to more productivity! 

1. A balanced metabolism feels better.  Cleansing (removing unhealthy chemicals, fats & sugars)  increases metabolism efficiency (cells reproduce faster).  
2. Better cells are produced when better ingredients (protein, vitamins & minerals) are bioavailable in the bloodstream.  
3. DNA damage (genetic weaknesses) get duplicated as cells reproduce.  If genetic weaknesses (caused by the free radical damage, heredity or chemical toxicity) are repaired, the resulting reproduced cells can create healthier organs.  
4. When protected from unhealthy chemicals, fats & sugars, less problems develop in aging.
5. It’s easier to be productive when you feel good!

 

FAQs:

• What if I want to only use the cleansing items, can I?  Yes, but the best results are achieved by jumpstarting the metabolism with the cleanse.
• What if I want to only repair my DNA, can I?  Yes.  You can add the other products later.
• How long do I cleanse?  Cleanse from one month to forever.  The longer you cleanse, the stronger your cells will become over the years.  I cleanse every day.

Benefits others received:

• blood sugar stabilization

Productivity linked to nutrient intake

Poor workplace nutrition hits worker’s health and productivity, says new ILO report. 

The ground-breaking study examines worldwide workplace eating habits & reports that better nutrition can raise national productivity rates, prevent micronutrient deficiencies, chronic diseases & obesity.  Modest investments can be repaid in reduction of sick days and accidents. 

Some stats

• Poor diet costs up to a 20% loss in productivity. 
• Poor diet consequences: morale, safety, productivity, & the long-term health  (C. Wanjek, Food at Work: Workplace solutions for malnutrition, obesity and chronic diseases
• 1/6 are undernourished or overweight.
• 46% of global disease is diet related. (2001)
• 60% of all deaths is diet related. (2001)
• Diet-related diseases are expected to climb to 57% by 2020.
• In SE Asia, iron deficiency accounts for a US$5 billion loss in productivity.
• In India, the cost of lost productivity, illness & death due to malnutrition is US$10 to 28 billion, or 3-9% of GDP
• The US annual cost of obesity to business for insurance, paid sick leave & other payments is US$12.7 billion.
• In the US, where over 2/3 of the population is overweight, direct medical costs accounted for approximately US$51.6 billion & lost productivity approximately US$3.9 billion – reflected in 39.2 million lost workdays, 239 million restricted-activity days, 89.5 million bed-days and 62.6 million physician visits.

Bumpy arms?

            

Have raised bumps on the back of your arms? 

• Although many don’t realize this, colorless or red raised bumps on the back of the arm often indicate a delayed allergic reaction (food sensitivity) to …dairy. 
• Sometimes it’s not the dairy, but the mold (cheese) that causes the problem.
• The bumps can indicate the body’s response to a lack of enzyme production in the stomach. 
• A lack of enzyme production can lead to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), constipation, bad breath, diarrhea, coated mouth, intestinal bloating, intestinal pain/cramping, Crohn’s Disease, undigested food causing mal-absorption issues, and all the problems associated with mal-absorption (mood, ADD, nervous system problems, etc).

Solutions?

1. Basic Program for health
2. Alfalfa - 10, 1-4 times a day. 
3. Digestive aid (enzymes) to help your body digest the dairy.  If this works for you, you won’t have to avoid dairy products! 
4. Starter Cleanse.  This will help remove the allergen & excessive histamine production.  What does this mean?  No more bumps for you! 
5. Contact us for a complimentary health consult.

Intestinal pain?

Food allergies?

 

Food allergies

• Food allergies occur when a low immune system mistakenly responds to a food item as if it’s harmful.  In its attempt to protect, it creates specific IgE antibodies to that food.  The next time the person eats that food, the immune system releases massive amounts of chemicals and histamines.  These chemicals trigger a cascade of allergic reactions. 

• Medline has a database of numerous studies linking food allergies with reactions. (Keywords: ‘food allergy asthma’ or ‘food allergy dermatitis’)

• Another cause of food allergies can be a Candida overgrowth.  Candida can eat microscopic holes in the intestinal wall.  Foods ‘leak’ into the bloodstream and cause the body to produce antibodies against them.  Hence, the candida overgrowth must be contained and the intestinal wall must be repaired to stop this cycle and return the body to health.  How to stop candida overgrowth?

• There are 2 types of responses to allergens, immediate reaction – IgE or delayed reaction IgG.

Allergies- from food consumed days ago?

 

There are 2 types of allergic reactions… 

• IMMEDIATE REACTION – IgE:  This occurs within minutes after exposure.  Most common allergens are: dander, shellfish, nuts, bee stings, mold & pollen.

• DELAYED REACTION – IgG: Appearing 24-72 hours after exposure, they’re difficult to discover. Most commonly from dairy, cigarette smoke, wheat, eggs & chemicals (in food, air, hygiene / cleaning products, clothing & water).  This type of allergen has long term affects on the body.

Med side effects – worse than the allergies?

Really?

Each allergy stricken individual should concider the negative side effects of medication.  Often times, the side effects are worse than the original symptoms.   Here are some examples.

• ANTIHISAMINES:  insomnia, drowsiness, tremors, nervousness, irritability, dry mouth, constipation, urinary retention, rapid heartbeat, blurred vision
• DECONGESTANTS:  restlessness, irritability, insomnia
• STEROIDAL INHALANTS: glucocorticoid residue may supress immune defenses in mouth & throat, causing thrush due to yeast overgrowth, swallowed inhalant residues may be absorbed into bloodstream causing the same complications that occur when steroid drugs are taken orally
• ALLERGY SHOTS: Dilluted allergens are shot into the bloodstream in hopes that the body will ‘learn’ to accept them  and stop producing antibodies in response to their presence.
• SURGERY: A cutting instrument is thrust up the nasal cavities to remove excess bone, tissue and mucosal buildup.

Allergies – symptoms? … seizures?

Allergy symptoms:  asthma, seizures,… death?

Often sufferers don’t realize that symptoms are caused by allergies because allergies can affect the entire body.  Here are some examples:

• RESPIRATORY:  asthma, rhinitis, hay fever, wheezing, sinus/ear infections, headaches, fever
• SKIN: swelling (tingling) of lips, throat, larnyx, eczema (atopic dermatitis), hives / itching, skin sores, raised bumps on back of arm, heat
• GASTROINTESTINAL: stomach pain, vomitting, diarrhea, constipation
• CARDIOVASCULAR:  severe drop in blood pressure, shock, irregular heartbeat
• MIND / NERVES: fatigue, seizures, anxiety, ADD, dizziness, learning difficulties, loss of consciousness, death

Hormone Elevator – too bumpy to ride? 

People who eat poor diets and put themselves under an enormous amount of stress will not be in balance; their bodies will create disease. This can manifest as hormone problems (hormone inbalance, PMS, moodiness, anxiety, irritability, breast tenderness, backaches, headaches, excessive bleeding, pain, fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, miscarriage, early menopause, low energy, low sex drive), pancreatic illness, heart disease, high blood pressure, and eventually cancer.

Lifestyle of many women with menstrual disorders:

• very stressed (good and bad stress counts)
• unbalanced diet  (Should be 30% protein, 40% carbs, 30% fat)
• too much high fat meat
• too many simple carbs (white sugar & flour)
• too few complex carbs (whole grains, legumes, beans, veggies, fruits)
• too many dehydrating liquids (alcohal, soda, coffee)
• too many carbonated beverages (inhibits calcium metabolism)
• too many foods that create ‘acidic cells’
• too many processed foods (food w/out enough nutrients for body)
• affected by too many toxins (in air, water, food, homes, work place)
