Sugar: The Bitter Truth

January 2, 2010

Sugar is fat. This simple relationship is revealed in this 9 part video series. You absolutely MUST watch this whole series. When sucrose and fructose enter the body the end result through various biochemical reactions actually creates new fat in the body. Featuring Dr. Robert H. Lustig, M.D. of UCSF Division of Endocrinology and Professor of Pediatrics – this lecture is not the over-simplified story of “increased calories from carbohydryates (sugar) of course makes us fat” but the actual hard science that has decoded the fructose mystery. Fructose in nature is embedded with super high levels of fiber. The industrial food companies have spent countless hours of research figuring out how to strip natural foods of this embedded relationship of sugar to fiber. Think of the sweetest food… yup -sugar cane. This plant is basically as fibrous as a stick! And don’t count on the FDA to help here – they are not getting anywhere near this. It’s up to you to educate yourself.

Dr. Lustig draws his conclusions that sugary drinks are the cause of the epidemic obesity levels in children in the US. Watch and be blown away. Fast forward part 6 if you are scientifically challenged.

Just Say No To Flu Vaccines

October 6, 2009


From Dr. Mercola:
The swine flu is simply another flu. It is not unusually deadly.

This is the first time both seasonal and pandemic flu vaccines will be administered. Both seasonal flu and swine flu vaccines will require two inoculations. This is because single inoculations have failed to produce sufficient antibodies. This is an admission that prior flu vaccines were virtually useless. Can you trust them this time?

Adjuvants are added to vaccines to boost production of antibodies but may trigger autoimmune reactions. Some adjuvants are mercury (thimerosal), aluminum and squalene. Why would you sign a consent form for your children to be injected with mercury, which is even more brain-toxic than lead?

This is the first year mock vaccines have been used to gain FDA approval. The vaccines that have been tested are not the same vaccines your children will be given.

Over-vaccination is a common practice now in America. American children are subjected to 29 vaccines by the age of two. Meanwhile, veterinarians have backed off of repeat vaccination in dogs because of observed side effects.

Modern medicine has no explanation for autism, despite its continued rise in prevalence. Yet autism is not reported among Amish children who go unvaccinated.

Researchers are warning that over-use of the flu vaccine and anti-flu drugs like Tamiflu and Relenza can apply genetic pressure on flu viruses and then they are more likely to mutate into a more deadly strain.

Most seasonal influenza A (H1N1) virus strains tested from the United States and other countries are now resistant to Tamiflu (oseltamivir). Tamiflu has become a nearly worthless drug against seasonal flu.

Public health officials are irresponsible in their omission of any ways to strengthen immunity against the flu. No options outside of problematic vaccines and anti-flu drugs are offered, despite the fact there is strong evidence that vitamins C and D activate the immune system and the trace mineral selenium prevents the worst form of the disease

The Bicarbonate Maple Syrup Treatment for Cancer

September 30, 2009

Sodium bicarbonate
This could be a lifesaving natural treatment from Andreas Moritz at the Ener-Chi Wellness Center in South Carolina:

Although sugar intake strongly stimulates cancer cell growth, the combination of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and maple syrup has the exact opposite effect; it makes it actually very difficult for cancer cells to function and survive.

Cancer cells can only operate in an acidic and oxygen-deprived environment. Since they are anaerobic by nature, they cannot use oxygen to metabolize glucose (sugar) and produce energy, but, instead, they have to ferment it. Compared with aerobic cells, which use oxygen and glucose to produce energy, cancer cells require about 15 times the amount of glucose as healthy cells to generate the same amount of metabolic energy. The cancer cells’ excessive hunger for glucose robs other healthy cells of this vital nutrient, thereby causing them to become weak, die, or also mutate into cancer cells. The starvation or weakening of healthy cells caused by the cancer cells’ incessant draining of nutrients from the tissue fluids, greatly diminishes the affected organ’s glucose and energy reserves. This is the main reason behind the failure of organs associated with cancer.

To prepare this simple, inexpensive but powerful remedy, combine pure 5 parts of 100% maple syrup (ideally B-grade), with 1 part of pure baking soda (with no added aluminum!). Place the mixture in a sauce pan and heat it on a medium flame for five minutes. Stir briskly. The mixture will greatly spread out and become foamy. Store in a cool place and take one teaspoon twice daily. For very serious conditions, take one teaspoon three times a day. Take uninterruptedly for at least 7-8 days, which is often sufficient to collapse tumors of the size one to two inches. You may experience a strong die-off, consisting of dead cancer cells, bacteria and toxins, usually expelled via the intestinal tract. Don’t be concerned if diarrhea occurs. This is the body’s way of relieving itself of the acid burden that’s behind the cancer. Other, seemingly unrelated health conditions may improve, too.

The maple syrup is capable of transporting bicarbonate into all parts of body, including the brain and nervous system, bones, teeth, joints, eyes and solid tumors. It may also help with other conditions of acidosis. Sodium bicarbonate therapy is harmless and so quick-acting because it is extremely diffusible.

Bra Cancer

August 3, 2009

Breasts represent sensitivity and nurturing, intimacy and sexuality. The power of the breast has been a focus in fashion since Edwardian times and saw the first harness-like patent in 1863. The modern day version of the bra didn’t appear on the scene until 1913 – but you can bet that women as far back as you can imagine fashioned some makeshift animal skin supportive garment when needed. But what does this seemingly innocuous garment have to do with breast cancer rates rising to affect 1 out of 7 woman today?

What’s a bra got to do with it? When we look at the anatomy of the breast we find the lymphatic system suffers a direct compression to the drainage of the lower breast from the tight depression line where an underwire bra focuses most of its tension. And rightfully so or it would do little to support the breast up. Any bra for that matter cinched tight enough will compress this lymphatic tissue; but the underwire bra specifically has a hard line that really can dig into this soft tissue, especially problematic where it turns and wraps upwards towards the armpit. This line of tension compresses the lower portion of the breast’s lymphatic system as these tubes travel from the midline of the body up to the axilla region of the armpit.

The lymphatic system is the sewage system for the tissues of the body. Cells toss out their debris into the fluid filled spaces that surround them. Imagine you only placed your garbage outside the front door of your house. If the garbage men couldn’t get to the door because you decided to erect a fence around your home – what do you think would happen to that garbage? It would sit there and fester and decompose. What do viruses and bacteria like most – dead tissue that they can disassemble to promote their life function and replication process. Breast tissue has the distinction of functioning like a sponge for toxins in a womans’ bodies – in men the prostate has this dubious distinction. And it makes sense that these toxins will settle into the lower part of the breast due to gravity. So the rational, logical conclusion is that when you compromise the sewage system of the breast tissue by compressing these channels how can you not create stagnation and force the breast tissue to wallow in its own toxic myre?

So what do we do with this information aside from national bra burning parties? Don’t worry ladies this is not necessary, you do not have to throw away your expensive silk underwire bras that make you look fantastic – you just need to be uber vigilant to taking care of your body. Adding a thorough breast massage each evening before bed is one possible solution. Another important suggestion is to NEVER sleep with your bra on. Sleeping with a bra has a 3x higher correlation to causing breast cancer than cigarette smoking does to causing lung cancer. Yes that’s 3x HIGHER. And of course if you do wear a bra absolutely make sure that it is custom fit for you from someone who understands posture and anatomy. This could make a profound impact on your entire body as poor fitting bras have been absolutely linked to back and neck pain.

How to do the simple massage:
First start at the midline of the body on the sternum between your breasts. Place the soft pads of your fingertips and in a curving pattern following the natural flow of the lowest part of the breast and slightly below onto the rib cage (follow the indentation left by the bra), compress into the body with a gentle force as if you were checking the ripeness of a tomato and slowly move toward the arm pit. You should make it a firm full stroke and keep your pressure consistent. It’s as if you were sliding a dime across a table. Come back to the midline and start immediately higher up then the last stroke. Work all the way up to the underside of the clavicle (collar bone). Now part two is also important. Massage in circular pattern (towards your thumb) around the nipple to cover the entire breast region for the left breast. Start around the nipple. On the right side of your body you will use your right hand and again move in circles towards your thumb. Now go back and switch directions on both breasts. It shouldn’t take more then 5 minutes and you can do it once you are in bed. The added benefit to consistent breast massage is early detection of any masses that you may have not noticed – and this is reason enough to keep up with this simple treatment.
