Did You Know? "10" MusT READ Health FACTS

1) There is no concrete evidence that fluoride is needed for teeth and it is a known carcinogen.

2) Children 10 years old spend an average of 29 hours a week watching TV, 14 hours listening to the radio, 9 hours listening to recorded music and 11 hours on the internet per week. This is a total of 63 hours per week of media bombardment!

3) In comparison, children spend average of 3 hours per week talking to their patients without distraction.

4) Wild yams are a very effective way to ease menopause and symptoms of PMS. Wild yams are a natural source of phytohormones and progesterone compounds.

5) If two jumbo jets collided every day and every one on board died it would be equivalent to the number of people who die of cancer daily in the U.S. alone. In fact, every 60 seconds someone dies of cancer.

6) A vegetable based hot dog (usually soy based) contains 60 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, 0 grams of cholesterol, and 8 grams of protein compared to a beef hot dog which contains 133 calories, 12 grams of fat, 5 grams of saturated fat, 26mg of cholesterol and 5 grams of protein.

7) Grilling, barbecuing, or broiling meats can produce HCA’s (heterocyclic amines) which are cancer causing agents. Cooking meats slower, with lower heat can help to reduce HCA levels.

8) Men have significantly more lower back problems and symptoms of sciatica due to carrying their wallets in their back pockets and sitting on them for extended periods of time.

9) Kombucha Tea can lower your cholesterol levels and naturally increase your energy.

10) If the world ate 10 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables daily we would reduce the cancer risk worldwide by an estimated 40%

TIP OF THE MONTH: 10 Commandments of Healthy Living

1 - Thou shalt not: EAT RED MEAT
Humans do not have teeth like carnivores or the saliva to break down meat. We do not have the enzymes to break up uric acid or LDL cholesterol from meat. All carnivores have short, pipe like, digestive tracts that allow quick elimination of decomposing and putrefied flesh.

Herbivores have long, curvy, snake like intestines to provide a long transit time through the system by way of peristalsis. These peristaltic waves are what breaks up food and allows the nutrients to be absorbed.All protein ultimately comes from plants, either directly or second hand from animals feeding off of plants.

The strongest animal on earth for its size is the silverback gorilla. It is 3 times the size of man and 30 times the strength. Their only food is fruit and bamboo leaves. Meat requires more energy to digest than it generates therefore it is a negative energy source.
Between 33 and 90 percent of commercial chickens are contaminated with salmonella and 80 percent of pigs have pneumonia at the time of slaughter.

Animal products contain NO fiber.
Meat contains 14 times more pesticide residues that plant foods.
90% of all cardiovascular disease stems from meat and dairy products, which happens to be the primary source of cholesterol and saturated fat. Cancerous cells feed on animal protein, which triggers the abnormal proliferation of cells. The meat in the biblical days was only 3% fat. Beef, the way it is grown today is 20-30% fat and pork is 40-60%! The meat in those days was also free of growth hormones, pesticides and preservatives.

2 - Thou shalt not: CONSUME MILK AND DAIRY
Drinking cows milk has been linked to anemia, allergies, diarrhea, heart disease, colic, cramps, stomach ulcers, sinusitis, skin rashes, acne, colds/flu’s, arthritis, diabetes, ear infections, osteoporosis, asthma and autoimmune diseases.
Dairy is a tremendous producer of mucous due to lactose intolerance, which puts extra burden on the respiratory, digestive and immune systems.

Dairy contributes to heart disease by saturated fat, high (LDL) cholesterol and the enzyme xanthine oxidase, which creates problems when milk is homogenized by damaging arteries.
Milk protein (casein), when pasteurized at 160 degrees, causes uric acid by-product formation leading to acidic blood. To balance this out the body pulls important minerals such as calcium from the bone leading to premature osteoporosis.

Synthetic formulas like Similac severely lack the necessary nutrients for growth and are devoid of enzymes, the life force of all living organisms.
Milk producers add coal-tar-derived vitamins in an attempt to replace some of the natural vitamins removed in processing.

3 - Thall shalt not: usE TABLE SALT
Table salt, sodium chloride, is an inorganic sodium compound formed by the union of sodium and chlorine, causing fluid retention in an effort to keep this poison in suspension and out of the cells. Table salt, when combined with inorganic minerals, causes kidney stones and gallstones, which can also join with fat in the blood to form plaques which, harden the arteries.

Sodium chloride draws water from the bloodstream, causing the body to experience excessive thirst.

Salt is an antibiotic; it kills life! It is used as a preservative because it kills bacteria (life) in the food to prevent the natural decomposing of that food.
Sodium must be in an organic form from organically grown fruits and vegetables in order for it to be utilized.

4 - Thall shalt not: EAT SUGAR
Sucrose is a product of man. During the processing and refining of sugar, the B- complex vitamins, enzymes, proteins, and other vitamins and minerals are removed.

Sucrose has a toxic, poisoning, drugging effect on the body by fermenting in the body, causing the formation of carbonic acid, acetic acid, and alcohol. Acetic acid has a paralyzing effect on the nerves and literally burns the cells.

Sucrose is one of the main causes of discipline problems with children, alcoholism, hypoglycemia, diabetes, crime, rape and a host of other social ills.

Breakfast cereals contain in excess of 50% sugar and there is 33% sugar in ice cream. A 12-ounce can of cola or soft drink contains 8 teaspoons of sugar!

5 - Thall shalt not: CONSUME WHITE FLOUR

In the refining of wheat, the miller removes the outer shell called the bran (fiber) because it leaves brown specks in the flour. The bran is then sold to health food stores. Then the germ is removed, which contains all the nutrients because it gums up the flour machines. The next step is to bleach what is left over with a chemical-bleaching agent similar to Clorox to make it nice and white. Finally, they add coal tar synthetic vitamins, package it and sell it to the unsuspecting public as enriched bread!

Enriched white flour has no fiber and very little nutritional value! The mixture of hydrogenated, trans-fatty acids, Calcium carbonate, tap water, LDL cholesterol, and white flour produces CEMENT!

6 - Thall shalt not: INDULGE IN FAST FOODS
Fast food is loaded with preservatives, emulsifiers, stabilizers, pesticides, growth hormones, steroids and saturated fat.
The heating, processing, refining and microwaving of all fast foods destroy the enzymes and eradicate up to 84% of the vitamins and minerals.

Fast food and fat is the leading cause of obesity, diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease.

7 - Thall shalt not: SMOKE OR CHEW TOBACCO
Tobacco smoke contains over 16 different poisons, tars, and oxidative products.

Leading cause of lung cancer, emphysema, pulmonary disease and circulation problems.

Strangely enough, the government has been pushing for a bill which would require you to have a prescription to attain nutrition supplements, while at the same time nothing is being done to eliminate KNOWN cancer causing agents like TOBACCO.

8 - Thall shalt not: TAKE IN CAFFEINE
Coffee is linked to Cancer of the bladder, rectum, pancreas, colon, ovaries, prostate, and breast. A single cup quadruples the body’s production of Hydrochloric acid, raising the temperature of the stomach by 10-15 degrees and narrows blood vessels in the brain. As little as 3 cups daily can create a psychological/physical addiction. Caffeine is also found in tea, chocolate and most soft drinks. It constricts the arteries, contributes to heart attacks and strokes, damages the liver and kidneys and is extremely addictive.
The volatile oils in coffee are responsible for damaging the linings of the stomach.

Coffee is a drug! There is nothing in coffee that the body can use. The only effect coffee has on the body is to tear it down and destroy cells.

Caffeine is a stimulant that gives a sensation of exhilaration, but its side effects are mental depression, nerve exhaustion, decreased muscular power and damage to the liver, adrenal glands and kidneys.

9 - Thall shalt not: DRINK ALCOHOL
Alcohol does irreparable damage to the cells, membranes and tissues as it travels through the liver.

Alcohol poisons the brain, damages nerves, heart, lungs and liver. Alcohol kills 25,000 people on highways not to mention disrupts homes, causes child abuse and spousal abuse and lowers productivity in the business place.

10 - Thall shalt not: usE HYDROGENATED OILS AND FATS
Margarine is the most dangerous "so called" food on the market. It is made by taking liquid oil and bubbling liquid hydrogen gas through it until it becomes hardened. Then it is bleached, filtered, and deodorized, producing an odorless, tasteless artificial fat. This produces trans-fatty acids, which lead to atherosclerosis and heart disease.

NUTRITION NEWS: How much Carbohydrate do I really need?

A recent study in the April issue of the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that at least 200 grams of Carbohydrate per day is needed for healthy, moderately active adults. Today there are many debates over suggested Carbohydrate intake especially relating to weight loss.

Considering that most people in the U.S. are extremely inactive (sedentary), this figure may even be too much. A normal function of the body is the storage of Carbohydrates in the muscles and the liver in the form of glycogen These stores total approximately 400-450 grams of carbohydrates in the form of glycogen. This is the body’s primary fuel source when activity is initiated. Typically, the average American eats 400 grams of carbohydrates per day. It would literally take a marathon to burn up all of your carbohydrate stores in one day. If your stores are full and you continue to eat carbohydrate rich food, the liver will convert the excess into triglycerides or FAT and this will be stored in your adipose sites (belly, thighs etc.), leading to weight gain.

I have found that most of my weight loss patients will actually have higher energy levels when eating between 75-150 grams per day. This is typically the level I recommend for weight loss as well as with those who need to regulate their blood sugar levels.

It is important to remember that the burning of fat as a fuel produces far more energy than the burning of carbohydrates. If a high carbohydrate diet is regularly consumed with little to no exercise, it will be difficult to burn fat. Here’s some tips to help you reach and maintain your desirable weight.

  • Cut out all sugar based soft drinks
  • Limit high carbohydrate vegetables such as corn, peas, beans, rice, and potatoes
  • Eat raw vegetables and fruit in their natural state or juice them fresh
  • Eat lots of fish, especially cold water fish such as salmon, mackerel, haddock and cod
  • Snack on raw vegetables or nuts, specifically almonds, brazil nuts, pecans, or walnuts (No peanuts- they contain aflatoxins
  • Limit milk intake because milk contains a significant amount of lactose, a milk sugar and it milk is poorly digested by the body
  • Avoid refined flour, white bread, and sugar based foods such as cookies, cakes, candies
  • Acceptable breads are 100% whole wheat, 7 grain, or spelt bread and limit to 2-3 servings per day

    SUPPLEMENT SPOTLIGHT: IP-6 The latest in the battle against cancer.

    Inositol hexaphosphate, abbreviated IP-6 and also known as phytic acid or phytate was first identified in 1855. It is found in all human cells where it regulates vital cellular functions. Its concentration is high in heart muscle, brain and skeletal muscle. Inositol is very important in maintaining the structural integrity of cell membranes. Recently, new research has shown its positive effects against cancer by controlling the growth of cancer cells. IP-6 is a key component of cell membranes.

    Cell membranes protect all cells and allow nutrients to travel in and waste products to travel out of the cells. These membranes contain special molecules called phospholipids made of essential fats and the mineral phosphorus. Phosphotidyl-inositol is one of these phospholipids. IP6 is a phosphorylated form of Inositol commonly found in fiber-rich plant foods. IP6 is hydrolyzed by phytase enzymes in the digestive tract to yield inositol. IP-6 may support natural cell defense against damaging hydroxyl free radicals by chelating with reactive iron. The following is an abstract of an article in the Journal of Nutrition, 1995

    Inositol hexaphosphate (InsP6, phytic acid) is ubiquitous in the plant kingdom and is abundant in cereals and legumes. In much smaller amounts InsP6 and its lower phosphorylated forms (InsP1-5) are contained in most mammalian cells, where they are important in regulating vital cellular functions. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments have suggested striking anticancer potential (preventive as well as therapeutic) for InsP6 with and without inositol. In addition to reducing cell proliferation, InsP6 increases differentiation of malignant cells often resulting in reversion to the normal phenotype. InsP6 is quickly absorbed from the rat stomach and upper intestine and distributed as inositol and InsP1. In vitro it is instantaneously taken up by malignant cells undergoing variable dephosphorylation to inositol and InsP1-5, pointing toward their role in mediating the action of InsP6. Because InsP6 is high in high-fiber diets, our studies also may explain, at least in part, the epidemiologic observation showing high-fiber diets are associated with a lower incidence of certain cancers. Although further studies are needed to elucidate the mechanism(s) of this action, inclusion of InsP6 in our strategies for cancer prevention and therapy is warranted.

    Science now knows IP-6 is more effective against cancer than a high fiber diet. Earlier studies have shown that pure IP-6 (without the bran) was a potent antioxidant that could inhibit cancer. IP-6 slows down the cell division rate of the cancer cells but does not effect the normal rate of cell division in healthy cells. It also enhances the immune system by stimulating the activity of natural killer cells, which attack cancer. The exact mechanism of how IP-6 works as an anti-cancer agent is still not fully known.

    IP-6 is fount naturally in plants, cereals and legumes (peas, beans). Because of its high phosphorus content, IP-6 is also important for the production of ATP or adenosine triphosphate which stores energy in every cell. Because diets high in fiber are associated with a decreased incidence of cancer, researchers think IP-6 (found in plants, cereals and legumes) may be one of the important factors.

    In order to use the IP-6 found in foods they must be eaten in raw form because they need live enzymes to release the IP-6. Any food cooked over 110 degrees will kill the phytase enzymes needed to release the IP-6 from the food. By the way, soybean seeds contain up to 2.58% of IP-6, but sesame seeds are the highest with 5.3% IP-6. It is best to take the pure preparations of IP-6 in capsule form to make sure you have all the IP-6 available to the body. A good IP-6 supplement should contain inositol as well because IP-6 and inositol work synergistically. This can be purchased at any health food store or on the web at any of the major supplement stores.

    In addition to be an anti-cancer agent it is also a powerful antioxidant and can reverse the effect of damaging free radicals produced during oxidation reactions in the body. It can also prevent too much iron in the diet from damaging cells, through its chelation properties. IP-6 binds to the excess iron, which would normally cause the formation of hyroxy-radicals that can damage the cell membranes. The prevention of cancer is the primary result of this antioxidant property.

    Supplements- 2 capsules of milk thistle, twice a day and 2 capsules of dandelion>, twice a day. Follow this supplement plan for all three days and follow for one week after.

    Day 1 - mix one gallon of distilled water with the juice of 3 lemons, 3 grapefruit, and 3 oranges or substitute pineapple for grapefruit. Drink this juice throughout the day as much as you can.

    No food for breakfast and lunch. Dinner is limited to one orange and one green apple.

    Evening bath- mix 2 ounces of cold pressed castor oil and 2 ounces of organic olive oil. Rub this over the skin from head to toe and sit in a hot bath for 15 minutes. Pat dry and cover yourself with 2 layers of thick blankets or a heated blanket for 1 hour to sweat out toxins.
    Go to bed and get at least 8 hours of sleep

    Day 2 - Same as day one except for bath
    Evening bath - mix one pound of sea salt (available at your health food store) and one pound of baking soda. Mix in hot bath water and sit in bath for 15 minutes.

    Day 3 Same as day one except for bath
    Evening bath - Mix 1 cup Clorox bleach mixed in hot bath water. Soak in bath for 15 minutes. This will pull toxic metals from your system
    It is important that you follow this program strictly and it is a good idea to use only organic, chemical free shampoos, soaps and especially deodorant. Drink plenty of the juice and also distilled water.
