Beware of Memory Foam Mattresses

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 20:07:07 -0500

They offgas some chemicals, including formaldehyde, which is used as an embalming fluid in funeral homes, that have me seriously concerned. There is a strong smell that may give you a headache at the least, and possibly much more. The only safe “foam” mattresses that I recommend are made from natural latex rubber (which comes from trees, by the way).

How healthcare institutions talk to you.

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:49:35 -0500

jayparkinsonmd:

I’ve been thinking a ton about the fact that patients aren’t the real customers in healthcare. Very little has been designed for you— the user of healthcare. When you visit a hospital’s website, do you get the same feeling as using Kayak to purchase a plane ticket or tumblr to create your first blog and start publishing within 30 seconds? Do you feel more knowledgeable or more empowered? Nope.

Healthcare talks to you in two ways. They choose from a few different stock photos of smiling old people, male doctors, and photos of their institutions. And then they have two different messages:

“We care about you.”

and/or

“We’re the best.”

Visit Hopkins, Mayo, Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, Cleveland Clinic, Mass General, and the Ohio State University Medical Center.

They’ll also throw in the obligatory syndicated health information in “diseases A to Z” because they think you’ll go to your nearest hospital’s website to search for health information rather than your Google search bar.

And these are the top institutions in the country all saying and doing the same thing. Do a random search for some rural hospital somewhere in America and you’ll find the same messaging. It may be tweaked with something like “We’re the best (for Western Maryland)” but of course don’t forget “We Care about you.”

Do they think that people respond to this messaging and these uber helpful tools providing generic syndicated health information? Or is this just a symptom of ridiculously unimaginative groupthink?

The main problem lies in the fact that all of healthcare tries to do all things for all people…and their messaging reflects that generic nothingness.

Healthcare needs to be made cool, engaging, unique, transparent, and personalized. We need to drag it out of pre-Mad Men era messaging, Marketing 101, and 7th grade health class and make the experience one that’s as awesome as buying a computer from the Apple Store or a hip replacement from Bumrungrad.

I can guarantee that in the next 5 years there will be an entire healthcare ecosystem that springs up from the periphery that truly speaks to you and lives up to the same expectations you have from Apple or Kayak. It won’t come from the establishment. It will come from a network of people who simply want something better for themselves and for you.

Swine flu vaccination alert!

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:48:37 -0500

After all that has been said on the swine flu, I hesitate to add more. However, it might be of interest for you to know the ingredients that all vaccines contain.

In the article: www.thecitizen.com/~citizen0/node/37660, Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz reports that:

“All vaccines carry a list of ingredients that typically increase human disease and death (i.e., morbidity and mortality). These include toxic elements and chemicals such as mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde and formalin (used to preserve corpses), MSG, foreign genetic material, and risky proteins from various species of bacteria, viruses, and animals that have been scientifically associated with triggering autoimmune disorders and certain cancers. A growing body of scientific evidence strongly suggests vaccines are largely responsible for increasing cases of autism and other learning disabilities, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, Lupus, MS, ALS, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, hay fever, allergies, chronic draining ear infections, type 1 autoimmune diabetes, and many, many more pandemics. “

Judy Roberts who took the swine flu shot of 1976, which left her and other 4000 Americans with severe neurological disorders tells her story. Take the time to listen to her experience in this video divided into two parts. It’s not very long.

Part 1:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyIguUrElwc&feature=related

Part 2:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lg1y-O0b_9I&NR=1

The following short video lists the symptoms of the Swine flu which are no different from that of the seasonal flu. Dr. Kent Holtorf – Expert in infectious diseases- explains the swine flu vaccine’s implication in autism and other diseases. It contains 25 thousand times the level of mercury than what would be considered toxic if it were in food or water. Listen to more here:

Great website to purchase 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide!

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:36:28 -0500

http://pureh2o2forhealth.com. They also carry a book by Madison Cavanaugh, which is informative and inexpensive, plus they include glass dropper bottles that are very useful for adding the 35% food grade ONLY hydrogen peroxide drops to a 6-8 ounce glass of distilled water. You have to dilute it for ingestion. (Read the WHOLE book first before trying this so you fully understand what you are doing!!)

What to buy? I started with 4 quarts, as I knew I would share with some of my loved ones, but just re-ordered 4 gallons this time, since I plan to use it for most everything, from daily baths, which your skin will love—you need a pint in about 10 gallons of bath water—to general household cleaning, including adding it to the sink water for hand washing your dishes or adding some to the dishwasher for disinfecting… to 1 cup in laundries for whitest whites, just to name a few! So it all depends on how you will use it!

Do you know how your white blood cells kill invading germs?

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:35:44 -0500

By producing hydrogen peroxide. Lots of it. It’s your body’s counter-terrorism task force - its first and best defense against any infection. Kills bacteria, viruses, yeast and parasites, all the evil-doers.

Most of us started on hydrogen peroxide shortly after birth. Not only does mother’s milk contain high amounts of H2O2, the amount contained in the first milk (colostrum) is even higher. The bottled version (of the H2O2, not the milk) is one of the few simple miracle substances still available to the public.

As you know, the hydrogen peroxide molecule (H2O2) is water (H2O) with an extra oxygen atom attached. When those oxygen atoms get released against germs and become (good) free radicals, they oxidize them, and they’re toast. Indeed, the the intense bubbling you see when hydrogen peroxide comes in contact with a bacteria-laden wound is the oxygen being released and bacteria being destroyed (O2, Bruti?).

This cutting-edge cure was proved more than 80 years ago by two English doctors in India who tried using hydrogen peroxide to stop a pneumonia epidemic. It worked, and patients knocking on Death’s door were soon turned away. The therapy was perfected many years later by Charles H. Farr, M.D., but drug firms succeeded in drowning out his message. And more recently, doctors at Baylor University proved the effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide therapy against many more diseases, including clogged arteries.

If you would like to find a doctor in your area trained in the use of intravenous H2O2 infusion, contact the International Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation (IBOM), P.O. Box 13205, Oklahoma City, OK 73113 at (405) 478-4266. They can provide names and addresses of doctors using the procedure in your area.

Are you feeding yourself cancer?

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:35:13 -0500

Blame the pesticides in our food, the preservatives and additives in our skin care products, even the synthetic materials in our clothes.

Let’s start with what we eat…

Did you know that…

93% of non-organic oranges analyzed contained pesticide residues

78% of apples analyzed contained pesticide residues

43% of all fruit and vegetables analyzed had detectable levels of pesticides

50% of lettuce contained residues from 7 or more chemicals

71% of cereal bars contain pesticide residues

83% of oily fish (like tuna) showed pesticide residues

It gets worse! Clean food activists have identified the “dirty dozen.” These 12 fruits and vegetables, when conventionally grown, are drenched in pesticides. Ever hear the comment that you are getting a little strawberry with your pesticide? They are near the top of the list!

Others on this “horror list” include all-time favorites, like peaches, lettuce and spinach… plus nine more fruits and vegetables most of us eat regularly!

The Dirty Dozen are absolutely TOXIC because they’ve been raised with so many pesticides there’s no way to wash them off. Even peeling these fruits and vegetables will not rid them of the toxins when they’ve been conventionally grown.

In fact, if you eat your USDA-recommended 5 daily servings of fruits and veggies from the “Dirty Dozen” list, you can swallow an average of 10 pesticides a day.

How many of the “dirty dozen” are you unconsciously eating?

The danger doesn’t stop with fresh produce.

Chicken, beef, pork and eggs are all full of dangerous pesticides. In fact, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service 2007 National Residue Program Data results (published Oct. 2008) tested nineteen (19) compound classes of veterinary drugs and pesticides (all told, about 120 compounds). Out of the beef, chicken, pork, veal, eggs and other products analyzed, 42 chemical residue violations were found.

Not a single one of these substances is something you want to put in your body! And several of them are known carcinogens!

But you can free yourself of worry (and disease!) without spending your whole paycheck or even changing where you shop.

The truth is it’s just as easy to eat wholesome organic foods as it is to eat the conventional foods that are pesticide-and-preservative drenched you may routinely buy.

And you don’t have to spend your whole paycheck to get the good stuff. You just have to know what to look for and make a few simple choices.

Most likely, these days you won’t even have to change where you shop, as the other grocery stores are starting to get into the action of healthier foods!

It’s really that simple.

Best of all… You don’t have to eat bean sprouts, brown rice, and soy milk… give up beef or eggs or cheese… or deny yourself any of the foods you love to “Go Green” and gain all the health benefits!

FACT—No matter where you live:

From the ketchup you buy to the lipstick you wear…
From mac n cheese for the kids to delicious organic wines…
From household cleaners to what you wear…
There are easy, affordable “Green” choices you can make…Starting Today!

How would you like to have an 800 phone number you can call to ask about pesticides and pesticide contamination of conventionally-raised meats? It’s available - but statistics say not even a single person out of every 1,000 consumers even knows it exists! Here it is: (800)-256-7072 (TDD/TTY).

The site provides links to selected government food safety-related information. This Web site is part of the National Food Safety Information Network. http://www.foodsafety.gov/~fsg/meat.html ….

Or, how would you like to know the website that lists all the free government publications that outline the pesticide residues in our food supply? Check here:

Office of Pesticide Programs, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency… oehha.ca.gov/public_info/TDfood.html

The truth is, every day that goes by, it’s getting easier and easier to make healthy choices… not only by choosing organic foods to eat (like antibiotic-free, grass fed beef or lean, delicious buffalo), but in choosing “green” personal care products, “green” clothing, “green” dry cleaning that’s done without harsh chemicals… even organic wine! Ever try Bonterra from Mendocino County in California? It is a cabernet savignon that is delicious and totally pesticide free!

Why can “green” information save your life? Because Big Business is waging a fierce disinformation campaign to keep you from finding out how easy it is to eat and live in a radically healthier way.

Big Business doesn’t want you to think green and buy local. They want you to keep eating processed foods and pesticide-drenched produce they bring in from Mexico and Chile.

That’s why they make it a point to confuse you. A favorite trick is labeling products that are patently not organic as “green.” (That’s called “green-washing” by organic producers - as in “white-washing,” or lying to you.)

Here’s a “greenwashing” example: It seems K-mart’s American Fare paper plates, labeled “biodegradable,” are so far from “green” that the FTC actually sued them to change the labeling. And how often does your supermarket tell you which produce is from a foreign country that doesn’t follow FDA safeguards?

Big business also doesn’t want you to know about a website that keeps track of the worst “greenwashing” offenders to help make the most informed choices possible.

Not only that, but there are easy-to-read symbols to look for to make sure the products you’re buying are organic, such as the USDA Organic logo, or a secret number in the produce aisle. If a fruit or vegetable has this number, you KNOW it’s organic. That number is 9 followed by another 4-digits. For non-organic, there will be a different number and usually there are only 3 other digits.

Here’s the flip side of the coin - any apple, bell pepper, or head of lettuce - any fruit or vegetable that does NOT have this number - is likely loaded with pesticides.

It’s just that simple. And simple is the key.

The truth is, most of us can make small changes, but if huge changes are required, it’s hard to stick with it.

But in the case of “green” and organic foods, bodycare products, even clothing, it’s a simple matter of knowing the brands to look for. Because, chances are, they’re probably already in the places you shop.

Not just foods like Muir Glen organic canned tomatoes and Heintz organic ketchup, but personal care products like Vita-Myr toothpaste with no flouride, household cleaners like GreenWorks (from Clorox, no less!), 7th Generation paper products, chemical-free, natural clothing—think cotton, silk, wool, linen—and chemical-free dry cleaning — the whole works.

Let me tell you about some more of the hidden dangers in your supermarket aisle… common additives that are so toxic that they should be illegal!

What Big Business Is feeding America…

Just to let you know how big the problem is, there are two basic types of pesticides used in growing conventional food. You wouldn’t want to feed either to your loved ones:

1. Organochlorides - These kill pests by attacking their central nervous systems. They have been linked to cancer, birth defects and genetic changes in animals. They are fat-soluble and stored in body fat. They are far more persistent than organophosphates. In other words, once they get in your body, they are very hard to get rid of.

2. Organophosphates — These interfere with nerve conduction in pests. They are the most common pesticides used today. They are water-soluble and break down rapidly.

Governments control the use of pesticides through legislation, and there are various lists of banned and restricted pesticides. You can easily look up which pesticides are being used to grow your favorite foods - and which foods are dangerously exempt from USDA residue limits (called “tolerances”).

How effective is pesticide policing by the USDA?

To be blunt: not very.

Investigations continually show that illegal and dangerous pesticides are appearing in food.

This contamination seems to be from two sources: illegal use of banned pesticides, and also the use of pesticides that are legal (or unpoliced) in the country where the food is grown.

A recent study from the U.S.-based Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that:

“Many pesticides that have been banned or restricted for health reasons were found illegally on scores of different foods. Examples include:
Captan, a probable human carcinogen banned on 30 crops by the EPA for health reasons—found illegally on 14 of these crops. Chlorpyrifos (Dursban), a potent neurotoxin heavily used in schools and homes but restricted to use on certain foods to protect young children from additional exposure—found illegally on 16 crops.

Endosulfan, a chemical cousin of DDT that mimics the female hormone estrogen in the human body—found illegally on 10 crops.”

So do please get more informed, read labels, try to wear more clothing that comes as “mother-nature made,” like cotton, silk, wool, linen. If you see a lot of chemicals listed, google them to understand more. Or go to the website EWG.org. They have loads of information and continually research to offer healthier options and alternatives!

To your greater wisdom and much better health!

Many food toxins do not come from manmade poisons, but are produced by the plant themselves,

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 18:19:58 -0500

as protection against invasion by bugs, viruses, fungi, and bacteria. These are called phytoalexins. In addition, cooking certain plants can produce powerful toxins, as we see with frying potatoes, which produces a carcinogenic toxin called acrylamide.
The production of these toxins by plants depends on a number of factors, including sprouting of the plant (as with potatoes), temperature, sugar content (especially fructose), and how diseased the plant is.

The nightshade plant family (Solanacae) contains over 92 different genera and includes not only the deadly nightshades, Atropa belladonna, mandrake, and jimson weed, but also includes potatoes, tomatoes, most peppers (not black pepper), paprika, eggplant, and tobacco plants. All of these plants secrete powerful toxins called glycoalkaloids.
Recent research indicates that these glycoalkaloids are powerful inhibitors of cholinesterases, which can lead to seizures, muscle spasms, and death in higher concentrations. In addition, they constain substances that inhibit digestive enzymes, increase intestinal permeability (leaky gut syndrome), worsen inflammatory bowel diseases, and may increase the incidence of miscarriages.

Recent studies have shown that these compounds damage the mitochondria of cells, leading to cell death. Of great concern are studies showing that these compounds impair the implantation of embryos, which is a leading cause of miscarriage in pregnant women.

With the growing incidence of inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and the demonstration that genetically prone animals fed these compounds develop a high incidence of such bowel disease, one would be concerned with diets containing tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes. Studies have shown that inflammatory bowel diseases are most prevalentin countries with the highest intakes of these Solanacae plants.

Unfortunately, Americans are obsessed with French fries and potato chips. Studies have shown that frying potatoes significantly increases the concentration of glycoalkaloids.

Flouride, aspartame, MSG: deadly toxins found in common products!

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 18:17:47 -0500

THIS IS FROM DR. RUSSELL BLAYLOCK:
When brain cells are weakened, either by disease or by free-radical damage, they become much more vulnerable to injury by toxins of various types.
Fluoride
Fluoride is a powerful brain toxin, especially when combined with aluminum. You should avoid fluoridated water, fluoride toothpaste, and fluoride mouthwashes.
Excitotoxins
Avoid excitotoxins such as MSG, aspartame, hydrolyzed proteins, and soy proteins in food.
Pesticides
Avoid pesticides and herbicides, especially within the home. They are linked to increased risk of Alzheimer’s dementia and especially Parkinson’s disease. In sensitive individuals, even minute concentrations can result in advanced and very rapid onset Parkinson’s disease.
Aluminum
Avoid all aluminum-containing foods (processed cheeses, teas with lemon, pancakes, biscuits, and all foods using baking powder), cookware, medications, vaccinations, and topical ointments.
Do not eat foods high in aluminum when eating or drinking citrus-containing foods and drinks (orange juice, lemon juice, grapefruit juice, etc).
Mercury in Fillings
Do not let your dentist fill your teeth with mercury-containing amalgam (looks like metal) or in any way manipulate your fillings (tooth cleaning, etc).
If you have amalgam fillings, have them removed by a dentist trained in proper removal procedure. The International Association of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) trains physicians in this procedure and can give you the name of a trained dentist near you.

Eating Out Issues

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 18:17:09 -0500

Ever go to a restaurant where they refuse to cook your steak medium rare? The warning that your meat is not safe unless you cook it until it’s dry and brown is bad advice. It’s not justified by the facts and cooking your food that way can cause arthritis, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.

This indiscriminate overcooking of food is a bad idea. It denatures protein, breaks down vitamins and removes nutrients. I’ve uncovered an even more serious concern. Many cooking techniques that achieve a high temperature trigger a chemical change called glycation that mimics aging. New studies have linked eating these foods to premature aging and a host of chronic diseases.

The Only Answer to Cancer

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 17:45:00 -0500

Got cancer? Know someone who does? NO WORRIES. HONEST!

This book tells of the 35,000 patients CURED by Dr. Leonard Coldwell in Germany, before he was run out of the country. He now lives in the US traveling across the country sharing his information via lectures and meetings.

There are over 300 known cures/therapeutic treatments, and one or many may work for you or a loved one, but not all work for each person due to individuality. They are not toxic, do not cause you to lose your hair via chemo (or poison, however you look at it), do not require surgery (cutting, disfiguring) or radiation (burning). They also do not cause the tumor to explode and metastasize. Such welcome news.

Cancer need not be feared anymore. Even though we did not get the memo from the FDA, Big Pharma, NIH, the American Cancer Society, and our own doctors, if you follow the HUGE money trail—Dr. Coldwell states it takes about half a million to die of cancer in this country—you can get an idea as to why we have been living in fear and ignorance all these many years.

But how dare they withhold this vital, life saving information??? And, how come we were so sheep-like to give such control of our own bodies to someone else? I understand the history where we got really good at expecting immediate relief of whatever symptoms we were experiencing with some magic pill(s) from our doctor, but our trust apparently was misplaced as many were leading us down a path of no return, or at least, of no real stab at the cause of this thing called cancer.

We all have the cancer cells in us, but when/if you have chronic stress or emotional distress, cancer may pay you a visit. So he terms it a wake-up call or sorts, and asks you to reflect on your life to see what stressful event(s) might have caused it.

How to fix it, then, for starters? DO WHATEVER YOU NEED TO DO TO ELIMINATE YOUR STRESS. YOUR BODY WILL THEN BEGIN TO HEAL ITSELF, and the various therapies will be able to work for you. If you cannot eliminate the stress, Dr. Coldwell says that you will just get the cancer back again, perhaps now with a vengeance.

It makes so much sense to me, and I have heard of most of the therapies/treatments already, but so appreciate his perspective that it is really a mental or emotionally based illness.

His information can be found on his website known as www.instinctbasedmedicine.com, and you can also tune in to his radio show: www.blogtalkradio.com/TheDrColdwellReport

This gives all of us much-needed hope, allows us to take control of our own healing rather than being pressured into something fast by our physician, and takes away the fear of cancer, since there are thousands who are easily surviving and prospering with one or more of these treatments, some as easy as simply modifying one’s diet. The tumors shrink to nothing. And stay GONE, as long as WE keep our stress levels low!

He does explain that some 14% of cancers are NOT stress related, but more probably are linked to toxins in the person’s environment, but his treatments are still wonderful at eliminating the cancer, even the dreaded forms of brain cancer!

So check out this fast reading book… knowledge is power.

KNOCKOUT, by Suzanne Somers

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 14:11:07 -0500

Wow, an incredible read about CURES AND PREVENTIONS FOR CANCER. This is news to use immediately. And if you have not read her previous book, BREAKTHROUGH, you have missed out on lots of very relevant and healthy tips for everyday living with robust health. No matter how busy you are, if your health is compromised, nothing much matters, does it? So… up to all of us to do what we can to stay abreast of breaking ALTERNATIVE news, so that we can have the healthy body we want! The interviews with the medical doctors and scientists in both books will leave you informed and appreciative, though perhaps surprised and possibly enraged at knowing this info was available earlier, but because of entity collusion between FDA, big Pharma and AMA, ACS, et al… the public did not get the memo!! You may have had loved ones suffer and/or die, so please, in order to help others, share the news. Thanks!
