Understanding your body and how it reacts to stress Hans Selye said that a painful blow and a passionate kiss can be equally stressful. The point is that anything that requires a return of balance to homeostasis is considered a stress. Normally our body, and particularly our adrenal glands, help us adapt to our situation by making changes and secreting substances which help us deal with the situation. Some people push their adrenals and their bodies and a “fight or flight” stress situation becomes prolonged, which furthers chronic fatigue and [...]

Soda and Aggression?
Soda and Aggression? Are your teenagers getting out of control? What do you do? Who do you blame? Yourself? Violent video games? How about the culprit that is hiding in your fridge! Before you point fingers at anyone or anything, I want you to consider how much soda your teenager drinks. A new study shows that high school kids who drink more than 5 cans of soft drinks per week are 15% more likely to act violently when compared to their non-soda drinking counterparts. The study included over 1,800 students. [...]

Allergy “Season” only finds some bodies Sneezing, wheezing, running nose, itchy eyes, blotchy skin — here we go again with allergy season! Sneezing, wheezing, coughing and itching are commonly considered symptoms of allergies, but joint stiffness, sluggishness, headaches, alternating constipation and diarrhea – these symptoms and others can also be signs of an “allergic reaction,” a “sensitivity,” or an “intolerance” to something entering your body. Why do some of us suffer every year, others have good years and bad years, while others never suffer allergies?? To answer this, let’s understand [...]

Total Shield Certain equipment has been developed to protect our magnetic field, thus helping neutralize harmful electromagnetic fields of radiation. The sluggishness, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, irritability, eye strain, rashes and other health problems associated with continuous exposure to high electromagnetic fields (above 30 Hz) can be counteracted with a device designed to blanket an area of about 20,000 square feet. This larger unit was designed to protect a home or office environment against harmful grid lines, geomagnetic disturbances, artificially generated electromagnetic standing waves, extremely low frequencies (ELF frequencies) and other [...]

The Cancer-Sugar Connection Sugar Feeds Cancer The simple concept that “sugar feeds cancer” is often overlooked as part of a comprehensive support plan for cancer sufferers. Of over 4 million cancer patients being treated in the U.S. today, few are offered specific advice or guidelines for using optimum nutrition, beyond being told to “just eat good foods.” Most cancer sufferers lack knowledge of what an optimal nutritional program is or how to implement it. Many cancer sufferers could have a major improvement in the outcome of their disease if cancer’s [...]

Breast Cancer, Alcohol and Tobacco Comments from Bandolier: Evidence-Based Thinking about Health Care (www.jr2.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/band109/b109-4.html) One of the most important developments in recent years has been collaboration between research groups to pool information on individual patients better to understand disease development and treatment. One such is investigating breast cancer [1]. Study The influence of alcohol and tobacco on breast cancer was examined in 65 studies contributing individual patient data on over 66,000 women with breast cancer and nearly 130,000 controls. Of these, 53 had information on both alcohol and tobacco in [...]

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD): Key Recommendations Antioxidants Can Prevent AD But They Must Be Food-Source Journal of the American Medical Association, June 26, 2002; 287:3223-3237, 3261-3263 Diets rich in vitamin C and E may delay the onset of memory-robbing Alzheimer’s disease. Free radicals that are released during normal cellular processes can be harmful to body tissues, leading to oxidative damage or stress. Experts have linked oxidative damage to many illnesses, including cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Since antioxidants — including vitamins C and E — can neutralize free radicals, some [...]

X-Rays, Cancer and Heart Disease by John Gofman, M.D., Ph.D. John Gofman, M.D., Ph.D., is one of the leading experts in the world in these issues. He is a nuclear physicist and a medical doctor. The evidence presented in his book, Radiation from Medical Procedures in the Pathogenesis of Cancer and Ischemic Heart Disease, strongly indicates that over 50% of the death-rate from cancer today, and over 60% of the death-rate from Ischemic Heart Disease today, are x-ray-induced. The finding means that x-rays (including fluoroscopy and CT scans) have become [...]

Crystalline Brucella The title page of a genuine U.S. Senate Study, declassified on February 24, 1977, shows that George Merck, of the pharmaceutical company, Merck, Sharp & Dohme (which now makes cures for diseases that at one time it created), reported in 1946 to the Secretary of War that his researchers had managed “for the first time” to “isolate the disease agent in crystalline form”.(3) They had produced a crystalline bacterial toxin extracted from the Brucella bacterium. The bacterial toxin could be removed in crystalline form and stored, transported and [...]
