Hi
Everyone!
Summer is knocking-at-the-door here in Southeast Texas. Gone are the cool evenings of Spring. Temperatures are steadily climbing and the humidity is rising at a comparable pace. No need to pay for a sauna treatment---just walk outside!
During this season our outside time tends to increase dramatically. Natural medicine practitioners have known for a long time that spending time in the sun is healthy and healing to the body. People who have definite health concerns will do well to get a daily sun-dose of 15-20 minutes on as much of the body as possible. Don't miss the article below, Scientists Say Sunshine May Prevent Cancer as the scientific community is now agreeing that the sun is not our enemy. We do recommend that you purchase an all-natural, chemical-free sunscreen product to use on the days when you will be exposed to the sun for long periods of time. Be responsible by monitoring your time in the sun especially between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Gall bladder surgery is quickly becoming the number one most performed surgery in America. Contrary to what conventional medicine will tell you, the gall bladder plays a very important role in digestive health. What Conventional Medicine Won't Dare Tell You About Gall Bladder Removal Surgery contains a wealth of information to consider before consenting to surgery. As your first line of attack for gall bladder disease we recommend performing a liver/gallbladder flush, which has helped many people stay out of the surgeon's office.

There are thousands of diet book and diet gurus offering a myriad of ideas for quick weight loss. Although some of these plans may provide short-term results, gimmicks and gadgets do not add up to a permanent weight loss solution. The quickest way to lose weight is to have patience, eat healthy, use a weight management supplement such as Slimirex™, and incorporate a exercise plan into your daily activities.
Eat Healthy
The body needs over forty different vitamins and minerals each day in order to function properly and maintain overall good health. Eating healthy not only allows you to control your portions and lose weight, but it also helps ensure that you get the nutrients your body needs to stay strong. Many people think that eating healthy means skipping meals and eating mostly bland, tasteless foods. But this is not true. Healthy eating simply means following two basic steps: variety and moderation.
Variety: A healthy diet is a well-balanced one, and one that supplies ample amounts of raw fruits, vegetables, whole grains and protein. Eating a variety of foods ensures that you get a good dose of the many different nutrients your body needs, and it keeps your diet interesting and easier to follow. There are so many wonderful foods to choose from that it seems silly for dieters to limit themselves to low-fat cottage cheese and broccoli. Try to range from different fruits, veggies, beans, grains, range fed organic poultry, seafood, and range fed organic meats, to make your diet delicious and nutritious.
Moderation: Moderating the foods you eat every day is a critical step to weight loss. It does not mean you should starve yourself or even go hungry. But it does mean that you should control the size of the portions you choose to eat. Eating several smaller meals throughout the day (breakfast, mid morning snack ,lunch, mid afternoon snack and dinner)will help your stomach feel fuller with less food and it will ensure that you are never hungry. It's also important to remember that there are no particularly bad foods, but there are foods that you should eat or drink in smaller amounts than others.
Increase Metabolism
Eating raw fruit only for breakfast is the best way to fuel your body and increase your metabolism. Skipping breakfast or eating breakfast later in the morning will force your metabolism to slow down until the system receives some fuel. You can also increase your metabolism by eating four to six smaller meals throughout the day to keep the body going. Don't try to starve yourself or ignore your hunger, as this will slow down your metabolism in a hurry. If you feel hungry, your body is trying to tell you that it needs food to recharge. Energy foods such as whole grains, beans, fruits and vegetables stimulate the metabolism faster than high fat or high protein foods. Also, incorporate exercise into your day to rev up your metabolism. In addition to a simple workout routine, you can park further away from your office or the grocery store, and walk the distance. Take your dog for a walk when you get home. Use the stairs instead of the elevator whenever possible, and do more activities around the house to burn calories and increase your metabolism. Also, be sure to chew every bite of food at least 25 times before swallowing.
Exercise
Daily exercise is an essential component in achieving quick weight loss results. Exercise stimulates the metabolism and helps to burn calories. Long-term studies have shown that people who have lost weight and kept it off for the long-term, have found a way to incorporate exercise into their daily activities. Different exercises are better for different people, and some burn more calories than others. Here's a look at some common exercise routines and the calories they burn per hour. Choose an exercise routine that works best for you and try a few different exercises each week for the quickest weight loss results.
Bicycling (6mph) 240
Bicycling (12mph) 410
Running (5.5mph) 740
Running (7mph) 920
Jumping Rope 500
Swimming (25yds/minute) 275
Swimming (50yds/minute) 500
Tennis 400
Walking (2mph) 240
Walking (3mph) 320
Quick Weight Loss Tips
- Don't focus on pounds as much as you focus on eating sensibly. Weigh yourself once a week to keep track of your progress, ut don't go overboard.
- Don't allow your weight loss program to become stressful. Stress causes you to lose hope and overeat as compensation.
- Keep your plan simple so that you will be sure to achieve quick and permanent weight loss results.
- Remember, we all have good days and bad days. Sometimes, we may even have a string of bad days where temptation and stress get the best of us. The important thing is to remember not to panic or feel guilty. Just get yourself back on track as soon as possible.

| Scientists Say Sunshine May Prevent Cancer |
By MARILYNN MARCHIONE
Scientists are excited about a vitamin again. But unlike fads that sizzled and fizzled, the evidence this time is strong and keeps growing. If it bears out, it will challenge one of medicine's most fundamental beliefs: that people need to coat themselves with sunscreen whenever they're in the sun. Doing that may actually contribute to far more cancer deaths than it prevents, some researchers think.
The vitamin is D, nicknamed the "sunshine vitamin" because the skin makes it
from ultraviolet rays. Sunscreen blocks its production, but dermatologists and
health agencies have long preached that such lotions are needed to prevent skin
cancer. Now some scientists are questioning that advice. The reason is that vitamin
D increasingly seems important for preventing and even treating many types of
cancer.
In the last three months alone, four separate studies found it helped protect against lymphoma and cancers of the prostate, lung and, ironically, the skin. The strongest evidence is for colon cancer.
Many people aren't getting enough vitamin D. It's hard to do from food and fortified milk alone, and supplements are problematic.
So the thinking is this: Even if too much sun leads to skin cancer, which is rarely deadly, too little sun may be worse.
No one is suggesting that people fry on a beach. But many scientists believe
that "safe sun" — 15 minutes or so a few times a week without sunscreen —is
not only possible but helpful to health.
One is Dr. Edward Giovannucci, a Harvard University professor of medicine and nutrition who laid out his case in a keynote lecture at a recent American Association for Cancer Research meeting in Anaheim, Calif.
His research suggests that vitamin D might help prevent 30 deaths for each one caused by skin cancer.
"I would challenge anyone to find an area or nutrient or any factor that has such consistent anti-cancer benefits as vitamin D," Giovannucci told the cancer scientists. "The
data are really quite remarkable."
The talk so impressed the American Cancer Society's chief epidemiologist, Dr.
Michael Thun, that the society is reviewing its sun protection guidelines. "There is now intriguing evidence that vitamin D may have a role in the prevention as well as treatment of certain cancers," Thun
said.
Even some dermatologists may be coming around. "I find the evidence to be mounting and increasingly compelling," said
Dr. Allan Halpern, dermatology chief at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
in New York, who advises several cancer groups.
The dilemma, he said, is a lack of consensus on how much vitamin D is needed or the best way to get it.
No source is ideal. Even if sunshine were to be recommended, the amount needed would depend on the season, time of day, where a person lives, skin color and other factors. Thun and others worry that folks might overdo it.
"People tend to go overboard with even a hint of encouragement to get more sun exposure," Thun
said, adding that he'd prefer people get more of the nutrient from food or pills.
But this is difficult. Vitamin D occurs naturally in salmon, tuna and other oily fish, and is routinely added to milk. However, diet accounts for very little of the vitamin D circulating in blood, Giovannucci said.
Supplements contain the nutrient, but most use an old form — D-2 —that
is far less potent than the more desirable D-3. Multivitamins typically contain
only small amounts of D-2 and include vitamin A, which offsets many of D's benefits.
As a result, pills might not raise vitamin D levels much at all.
Government advisers can't even agree on an RDA, or recommended daily allowance
for vitamin D. Instead, they say "adequate intake" is 200 international units
a day up to age 50, 400 IUs for ages 50 to 70, and 600 IUs for people over 70.
Many scientists think adults need 1,000 IUs a day. Giovannucci's research suggests 1,500 IUs might be needed to significantly curb cancer.
How vitamin D may do this is still under study, but there are lots of reasons to think it can:
_Several studies observing large groups of people found that those with higher
vitamin D levels also had lower rates of cancer. For some of these studies, doctors
had blood samples to measure vitamin D, making the findings particularly strong.
Even so, these studies aren't the gold standard of medical research —a
comparison over many years of a large group of people who were given the vitamin
with a large group who didn't take it. In the past, the best research has deflated
health claims involving other nutrients, including vitamin E and beta carotene.
_Lab and animal studies show that vitamin D stifles abnormal cell growth, helps cells die when they are supposed to, and curbs formation of blood vessels that feed tumors.
_Cancer is more common in the elderly, and the skin makes less vitamin D as people age.
_Blacks have higher rates of cancer than whites and more pigment in their skin, which prevents them from making much vitamin D.
_Vitamin D gets trapped in fat, so obese people have lower blood levels of D. They also have higher rates of cancer.
_Diabetics, too, are prone to cancer, and their damaged kidneys have trouble converting vitamin D into a form the body can use.
_People in the northeastern United States and northerly regions of the globe like Scandinavia have higher cancer rates than those who get more sunshine year-round.
During short winter days, the sun's rays come in at too oblique an angle to spur the skin
to make vitamin D. That is why nutrition experts think vitamin D-3 supplements may be especially helpful during winter, and for dark-skinned people all the time.
But too much of the pill variety can cause a dangerous buildup of calcium in the body. The government says 2,000 IUs is the upper daily limit for anyone over a year old.
On the other hand, D from sunshine has no such limit. It's almost impossible to overdose when getting it this way. However, it is possible to get skin cancer. And this is where the dermatology establishment and Dr. Michael Holick part company.
Thirty years ago, Holick helped make the landmark discovery of how vitamin D
works. Until last year, he was chief of endocrinology, nutrition and diabetes
and a professor of dermatology at Boston University. Then he published a book, "The UV Advantage," urging
people to get enough sunlight to make vitamin D.
"I am advocating common sense," not prolonged sunbathing or tanning salons, Holick
said.
Skin cancer is rarely fatal, he notes. The most deadly form, melanoma, accounts for only 7,770 of the 570,280 cancer deaths expected to occur in the United States this year.
More than 1 million milder forms of skin cancer will occur, and these are the
ones tied to chronic or prolonged sun tanning.
Repeated sunburns — especially in childhood and among redheads and very fair-skinned people —have
been linked to melanoma, but there is no credible scientific evidence that moderate
sun exposure causes it, Holick contends.
"The problem has been that the American Academy of Dermatology has been unchallenged for 20 years," he says. "They
have brainwashed the public at every level."
The head of Holick's department, Dr. Barbara Gilchrest, called his book an embarrassment and stripped him of his dermatology professorship, although he kept his other posts.
She also faulted his industry ties. Holick said the school has received $150,000 in grants from the Indoor Tanning Association for his research, far less than the consulting deals and grants that other scientists routinely take from drug companies.
In fact, industry has spent money attacking him. One such statement from the
Sun Safety Alliance, funded in part by Coppertone and drug store chains, declared
that "sunning to prevent vitamin D deficiency is like smoking to combat anxiety."
Earlier this month, the dermatology academy launched a "Don't Seek the Sun" campaign calling any advice to get sun "irresponsible." It quoted Dr. Vincent DeLeo, a Columbia University dermatologist, as saying: "Under
no circumstances should anyone be misled into thinking that natural sunlight
or tanning beds are better sources of vitamin D than foods or nutritional supplements."
That opinion is hardly unanimous, though, even among dermatologists.
"The statement that 'no sun exposure is good' I don't think is correct anymore," said
Dr. Henry Lim, chairman of dermatology at Henry Ford Health System in Detroit
and an academy vice president.
Some wonder if vitamin D may turn out to be like another vitamin, folate. High intake of it was once thought to be important mostly for pregnant women, to prevent birth defects. However, since food makers began adding extra folate to flour in 1998, heart disease, stroke, blood pressure, colon cancer and osteoporosis have all fallen, suggesting the general public may have been folate-deficient after all.
With vitamin D, "some people believe that it is a partial deficiency that increases the cancer risk," said
Hector DeLuca, a University of Wisconsin-Madison biochemist who did landmark
studies on the nutrient.
About a dozen major studies are under way to test vitamin D's ability to ward off cancer, said Dr. Peter Greenwald, chief of cancer prevention for the National Cancer Institute. Several others are testing its potential to treat the disease. Two recent studies reported encouraging signs in prostate and lung cancer.
As for sunshine, experts recommend moderation until more evidence is in hand.
"The skin can handle it, just like the liver can handle alcohol," said Dr. James
Leyden, professor emeritus of dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania,
who has consulted for sunscreen makers.
"I like to have wine with dinner, but I don't think I should drink four bottles
a day."
| Which Foods Contain the Most Antioxidants? |
By Ben Kim, D.C.
One of the most important steps you can take to prevent heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease is to eat plenty of antioxidant-rich foods. As discussed in a previous article on free radicals, antioxidants protect your health by preventing and repairing damage caused to your cells by excessive free radicals.
Antioxidants are plentiful in plant foods, particularly those that have bright colors. As of May, 2005, the most comprehensive study of the antioxidant content of common foods that I know of was published in the June 2004 edition of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. According to this study, the 20 most antioxidant-rich foods are as follows:
| Rank |

The highest ranked foods in four major categories are as follows:
Fruits: blueberries, cranberries, and blackberries.
Vegetables: beans, artichoke hearts, and surprisingly, russet potatoes.
Nuts: pecans, walnuts, and hazelnuts.
Spices: cinnamon, oregano, and ground cloves.
Here are a few points to keep in mind when choosing antioxidant-rich foods:
- Because there are many different types of antioxidants that can protect your tissues from different types of damage, it is best to eat a wide range of antioxidant-rich foods.
How much you benefit from the antioxidants found in the foods you eat depends on how well you breakdown and absorb these foods.
One of the best ways of making sure that you are getting plenty of antioxidants in your diet is to strive to eat lots of fresh vegetables. If you just don't have the time to eat a large green salad every day, consider buying a good juicer and drinking a fresh vegetable juice on a daily basis. Another more convenient option is to use a high quality super green food product.
It is best to limit the amount of sweet fruits that you eat according to your dental health and blood sugar and insulin levels. If you haven't already, please read my article on the dangers of eating too much fruit.
- When washing and preparing vegetables and fruits, be sure to wash non-organic varieties with extra care to help remove pesticide residues. This is especially important for vegetables and fruits that are known to be heavily contaminated with pesticides.
"All
we need to remember is this: if God has given us a job to do, He will
provide for us the means by which to accomplish it. All we have to do is
ask Him what He wants us to do and then be willing to do it."

| Is American Dentistry Killing Us? |
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen
Is American Dentistry
killing us? Probably. There are certainly good reasons circulating around the campfires to believe so. It's
time, I believe, for the North American Health Freedom Movement to focus
on Dentistry, and its problems, because what happens in the mouth effects
the whole body.
I believe that the American Dental Association (ADA), as the primary representative of Dentistry, is in "siege
mode," meaning that their Modus Operandi, these days, seems
more defensive of position than promotional of healthy Dentistry.
Why? Because,
I think, they are defending, like the tobacco industry did for years, untenable positions. In
fact, in my opinion, American Dentistry, as an industry, is far more
deadly than tobacco ever was - and I'll tell you why I think so.
(1) American
Dentistry's official position on Mercury Amalgams.
If you listen
to the nonsense spewed out of conventional dentistry, you hear, from
them, that the only safe place to store the deadly toxin mercury is in
the teeth. The stories they make up to bolster this claim are ludicrous.
Mercury is OFFICIALLY
mega-dangerous before it is installed in the teeth, and is OFFICIALLY
mega-dangerous when it is being removed from the teeth. But, according to Dental spokesperson Robert Baratz MD. DDS. PhD, it is perfectly safe while in the teeth - Never
mind that University scientists outright laugh at Baratz's claims - he,
and Dentistry in general, stick to their statements.
Two thirds of
North American Dentists still install Mercury Amalgams. Mercury leaches out from the teeth into the body causing serious health problems. For
information on this issue, there is a very good article detailing this
problem called "The Dental amalgam
Issue - A Terrible Sin Against Humanity."
(2) Cavitations
- Dentistry's officially ignored MAJOR health problem...
Susan Stockton MA writes, what I think, is the best article for the layman, about the "Cavitation
Issue." It is clear and concise, and written from the patient's viewpoint. In
her article called "JAWBONE
CAVITATIONS: Infarction, Infection & Systemic Disease" she makes the issue simple, and understandable. You need to read it. Below
is a sample:
"Ischemic osteonecrosis (bone death due to poor blood supply) is a disease of the entire skeleton – i.e., it can affect any bone in the body. It
is best known as a hip condition, and yet it is actually more common
in the jawbone, though unacknowledged as such by mainstream medicine
and dentistry.
A jawbone cavitation is simply a hollow space
or pocket in the bone. It is not readily visible to the eye and often
causes no local discomfort, though it can be the hidden cause of
facial pain syndromes (hence one of its names, NICO – Neuralgia Inducing Cavitational Osteonecrosis). The
chief initiating factor is trauma to the jaw, often brought on by
standard dental treatment."
Of danger to North Americans is the ADA's official position that "Cavitations
do not exist," an idea that denies basic science and years worth
of teaching in Dental schools. I suspect that their position
may have a lot to do with the section written below.
(3) Root
Canals - Festering Death Modules...
To properly understand the idea of "root
canals" we must first make a comparison. A "root canal" is
the process of removing the nerve tissue to a dead, or dying tooth,
so that you don't feel the pain. Thank God that Heart Surgeons don't think the same way as Dentists. Imagine
going to your MD with chest pains and having them say "No problem,
we'll just go in and cut out the nerves to the heart, and your pain
will go away."
Uhhmm?
Thank God we don't let Dentists deal with brain tumors, broken arms and legs, bullet wounds, or depression.
One of the originators
of "root canals" George Meinig DDS, in a startling interview,
tells the truth about root canals. He says:
"Yes,
a high percentage of chronic degenerative diseases can originate from
root filled teeth. The most frequent were heart and circulatory diseases
and he found 16 different causative agents for these. The next most
common diseases were those of the joints, arthritis and rheumatism.
In third place - but almost tied for second - were diseases of the
brain and nervous system. After that, any disease you can name might
(and in some cases has) come from root filled teeth."
I read somewhere that "root canals" are a three trillion dollar business, so I don't expect official Dentistry to give them up willingly. There are those that say that "root
canals" are a major cause of "Cavitations..." above.
(4) Fluoride
in our water - One of the biggest scams foisted on Planet Earth...
The "fluoride
issue" is explained in detail on the Fluoride Action Network web page. There
you can sign up for Paul Connett's excellent free newsletter on the
subject.
But, to get the gist of the issue from someone not involved in the fight, go read the article written by Devvi Kidd called "GERMANS & RUSSIANS USED FLUORIDE TO MAKE PRISONERS STUPID & DOCILE."
Kidd says, quoting other authoritative research:
"It is a matter of record that sodium fluoride has been used for behavior control of populations. In an "Address in reply to the Governor's Speech to Parliament," [Victorian
Hanstard, August 12, 1987, Nexus, Aug/Sept 1995], Mr. Harley Rivers
Dickinson, Liberal Party Member of the Victorian Parliament for South
Barwon, Australia, made a statement on the historical use of fluorides
for behavior control.
"Mr. Dickinson reveals that, "At
the end of the Second World War, the United States Government sent
Charles Elliot Perkins, a research worker in chemistry, biochemistry,
physiology and pathology, to take charge of the vast Farven chemical
plants in Germany. While there, he was told by German chemists of a
scheme which had been worked out by them during the war and adopted
by the German General Staff. This scheme was to control the population
in any given area through mass medication of drinking water. In this
scheme, sodium fluoride will in time reduce an individual's power to
resist domination by slowly poisoning and narcotising a certain area
of the brain, and will thus make him submissive to the will of those
who wish to govern him. Both the Germans and the Russians added fluoride
to the drinking water of prisoners of war to make them stupid and docile."
(5) The organized
conspiracy to attack those who try to call attention to the problems
above...
North America is known for its promotion of innovation in all aspects of society except one - health care.
In North America,
health care has developed into a war. On one side is the status
quo, called "medicine." On the other is "health." The two are far from the same. The
American public, with their buying habits, is rejecting "medicine" in favor of "health," and
despite massive drug marketing campaigns, and brutal raids against competitors
to drugs (supplements, electro-medicine, oxygen therapies) by the Big
Pharma controlled US Food & Drug Administration (FDA), "medicine" is being sidelined.
It is no secret,
in North America, that an organization exists whose primary function
is to murderously attack innovators in health care - literally burying
them with venom, hatred, lies, and misinformation. It's been going on
for years. The group calls themselves the "quackbusters." No
studies have ever been done to determine how much suffering and death
they have caused - yet.
The "quackbusters" are
something of a cottage-industry. It is a money making operation
that makes mega-millions, if not mega-billions, for its client base -
conventional medicine and dentistry.
I've written volumes about how the "quackbusters" operate in medicine, and I've helped set up legal cases defending against "quackbuster" assaults. But, until now, I haven't written a lot about how they operate in Dentistry. Today
is a good day to start.
The "quackbuster" hate brigades:
First let me give you a quick course on how the "quackbusters" operate in the world of Dentistry:
(1) I have
good reason to believe that the "quackbuster" operation
is run out of a New York ad agency, where targets are selected, and plans
are made, and executed. The ad agency is conducting a public relations "black
ops" for its paying client. Ask the question "who is the
paying client?"
(2) After
the target is selected the actual attack begins by having the "story," or accusation, appear on failed MD Stephen Barrett's "quackwatch.com" web
site.
(3) Then
an article in the so-called "Consumer Health Digest" is sent out to over 10,000 unsuspecting recipients announcing the "quackbuster's" accusation. I
believe that the recipients of this "digest" are government agency
employees, insurance company employees, and lower level quackbuster minions. So,
who is the "Consumer Health Digest?" As report author Stephen Barrett says:
"Consumer Health Digest is a free weekly e-mail newsletter edited by Stephen Barrett, M.D., and cosponsored by NCAHF and Quackwatch. It summarizes scientific reports; legislative developments; enforcement actions; other news items; Web site evaluations; recommended and nonrecommended books; research tips; and other information relevant to consumer protection and consumer decision-making. William
M. London, Ed.D, M.P.H., is associate editor. Items posted to this
archive may be updated when relevant information becomes available."
(4) Then
a complaint is filed against the Dentist, with a State agency, by one
of several ways (a) a lower level "quackbuster" minion,
(b) an insurance company, (c) another competing Dentist. (d)
by the State Board itself., all of which are recipients of the "Consumer
Health Digest."
(5) The
State agency is duped into believing that there is a real problem by
being referred to "quackwatch.com" believing that "quackwatch.com" contains valid information from an authoritative, reliable source, when, in fact, it does not.
(6) The
State agency investigates the charges against the Dentist, and during
the investigation, is deluged with a barrage of "helpful" emails and phone calls from "concerned
citizens" (quackbusters in disguise) putting pressure on investigators to make a finding against the Dentist.
(7) "Helpful" letters, and phone calls, from a self-styled "expert," Robert
Baratz MD, DDS, PhD, and others, arrive, putting more pressure on investigators
to "find" against the Dentist. Baratz is the president of
the legally defunct National Council Against Health Fraud (NCAHF).
(8) Selected
State Dental Board members are contacted, and asked to involve themselves
in the case - to put even more pressure on State investigators to "find" against the Dentist.
(9) The
State investigator, either (a) fearful for his/her continued employment
at this point, "finds" against the Dentist, and recommends that
charges be filed. Or, (b) a "quackbuster friendly" investigator will subpoena a large number of patient charts, then while contacting those patients tells them that "they
were defrauded," referring those patients to "quackwatch.com" for further information, and suggests that they, the patients, could "get their money back if they file a formal complaint with the State Board, and testify in the case, against the Dentist." Once there is a patient complaint the investigator "finds" against the Dentist, and recommends that charges be filed.
(10) An "Accusation," gets filed against the Dentist based on the investigator's report.
(11) The
accused Dentist hires legal representation, and the Administrative Process
begins.
(12) The "Accusation" against the Dentist is put on "quackwatch.com" and a notice is sent out to the over 10,000 recipients of the so-called "Consumer
Health Digest."
(13) Local
media is contacted so as to get the "Accusation" in front of the Dentist's patient base - so that he/she loses business and cannot afford an attorney to defend himself/herself.
(14) Robert
Baratz MD, DDS. PhD is brought in as the do all/be all "expert witness" against the Dentist.
(15) The Administrative Hearing takes place in front of an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). In
small to middle size States, the ALJ may share an office, a desk, a carpool,
a bed, or a Supervisor, with the Attorney prosecuting the case against
the Dentist.
(16) The
ALJ makes a recommended Decision and sends it on to the Dental Board
for a final decision.
(17) The
Final Decision in the case is made behind closed doors, without the Dentist
or his/her attorney present, where the Board member(s) mentioned in (8)
above leads the decision to a conclusion against the Dentist.
(18) The
Dentist's attorney, if he/she is savvy, knowing that Dental board cases
for cutting-edge Dentists are pretty much kangaroo courts," set the case up for appeal right from the start - and files a formal Appeal with a higher Court with a Motion for a Stay of the Dental Board's decision.
(19) The
Appeal Court reverses the Board decision, sending the case back to the
Dental Board...
(20) Etc.,
etc., etc.,...
Counter-Measures...
Looking at the daunting process above from the viewpoint of a Dentist under assault it seems like "a
no-win situation." For at best the process is exhaustive
of money, energy, and time - and the easy solutions, like "giving
in," or "settling the case" have a lot of appeal. But
Dentists that seriously believe in their cutting-edge work don't find
it easy to accept "giving up" those beliefs.
So, we've had
to develop, and use, more practical cost-effective counter-measures. So far they are successful, and a lot less expensive. And,
there is no reason to expect that they won't continue to be.
I'm not going to tell you, at this time, what those strategies and tactics are - for the "quackbusters" all
read my newsletter, and I'm involved, in my role as a Crisis Management
Consultant, in a few counter-measures right now.
However, if you
are a health professional under attack, and the method I outlined above
looks familiar, call me. To find me, click on my name just below

| What Conventional Medicine Won't Dare Tell You About Gall Bladder Removal Surgery |
from newstarget.com
A reader asks, "After
having gall bladder surgery three weeks ago, I am having a lot of discomfort,
bloating, nausea, and in general, not feeling well. My doctor says it will
pass, but it seems to be getting worse. I am a 65-year-old woman. Do you have
any advice?"
The first piece of advice
I have for people who are considering gall bladder surgery is to get advice
before the surgery, not after it, because once you've had the gall bladder
removed, your options are quite limited. Remember that conventional medicine
loves to go in and remove organs that are presenting symptoms rather than
addressing the root cause of the problem in the first place. They think
that by removing the organ that hurts, they've cured the problem. Hogwash! Gall bladder disease
and gallstones are almost always the result of poor nutrition. For example:
consuming a lot of soft drinks, sugar products, highly acidic foods like
red meat and products made with white flour all contribute to the formation
of gallstones. Gallstones can
be reversed, but it’s something that takes quite a bit of time. After
all, they have been formed in your body over a period of decades, so it's
not something you can get rid of overnight from a nutritional standpoint.
At the same time, I know that a lot of people are experiencing extreme
pain when it comes to passing gall bladder stones. So obviously, those
people are looking at surgical procedures as a more immediate technique
for getting rid of the pain. Let's look at some information
about gallstones because it is something that affects somewhere around
18 million people in the United States, and maybe even as many as 1 in
every 12 people. And yet most people don't know they have them. According to the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), pain from gallstones results in about 800,000
hospitalizations and more than 500,000 operations each year in the United
States. Unfortunately, the NIH doesn't give people a lot of information
about how to actually avoid gall bladder problems. It's also critical to
recognize that the gall bladder has an important function in digestion.
And, if you just remove it (which by the way is quite the barbaric thing
to do), you are compromising your digestive health for the rest of your
life. Surgeons who remove gall bladders are complacent in educating
patients about nutritional changes they need to pursue after losing this
important digestive organ. For example, you're
not going to get the same quality of digestion you would have had if your
gall bladder were in place. You're not going to get the excretion of the
bile from the gall bladder into the small intestine, and as a result, you're
not going to efficiently digest foods that are moving through your digestive
tract. This is especially true for dietary fats, including essential fatty
acids. Without a gall bladder,
you're not going to be able to digest dietary fats with any degree of efficiency.
This means that if you don't take bile salts as a nutritional
supplement every time you eat healthy fats, you'll miss out on all-important
omega-3 fatty acids and other healthy oils. That's why people who have
had gall bladder removal surgery usually suffer the classic signs of EFA
deficiencies: poor nervous system function, irritability, learning difficulties,
heart disease, poor blood sugar control, and so on. Doctors and surgeons
flat out aren't telling patients this all-important information. It's downright
criminal, if you ask me. This basic education should be required by law.
It's flat-out evil to remove an essential organ from a patient's body and
neglect to tell them about the long-term adjustments they need to make
in order to compensate for that missing organ.
And you know
why surgeons don't tell people the truth about gall bladder removal surgery?
I suspect it's because if people knew the horrifying nutritional consequences
of the procedure, they'd refuse to do it, and surgeons and hospitals would
lose out on those paying customers. Talking to a gall bladder surgeon about
your gall bladder health is sort of like taking your car to a greasy garage
mechanic and asking, "Is there anything wrong with the transmission?" The
answer you get is designed to pad his pockets. If you want honest answers
on gall bladder pain, go visit a naturopath. As always, I
strongly recommend that people who are considering this surgery look at
naturopathic options, because removing a functional organ from your digestive
tract is never a health-enhancing solution. It's just something that's
too easy for conventional medicine to do. They do hundreds of thousands
of these surgeries a year. They don’t consider it a big deal so the
patients don’t think it’s
a big deal either! But it really
is a big deal. It's sort of like saying, "Well, doctor, my tongue hurts." And
the doctor says, "Let's cut out your tongue." In
fact, your gall bladder is far more important for digestion than your tongue.
Do everything you can
to protect your gall bladder. Along those lines, one of the most important
things you need to do is physically massage your internal organs through
body movement. A lot of people are surprised to hear this, but your internal
organs need to be massaged just like your muscles and skin. Massage therapy is something that I recommend everyone pursue to enhance his or her health. Massage moves lymph fluid around the body. It stimulates the skin. It even stimulates the brain indirectly and helps create an immunostimulating relaxation response in virtually everyone. The internal organs need this same massage and the very best way to massage these internal organs, such as the gall bladder, is to engage in gentle body movement exercises.
One of the very best
you can pursue is Tai Chi. By following the gentle, pivoting movements
of Tai Chi, you will massage your liver, gall bladder, pancreas, and even
your heart. These organs are not fixed in place. They're not fixed in your
body like they are on an anatomy chart. Your organs move around, and they
actually benefit from movement just like massaging a limb.
Also along those lines,
one of the most important things you need to do is engage in breathing
therapy because conscious breathing and deep breathing offers an outstanding
massage to all the internal organs in your torso. Your lungs take up a
tremendous amount of space in your chest cavity, and when you inhale and
really expand your lungs, you are moving the other organs in your cavity
and giving them a massage at the same time. Breathing is an excellent way
to oxygenate your internal organs and get some movement.
And by the way,
your average conventional medicine physician isn’t going to recommend
any of this -- nor will he or she even believe any of it. They've never
been taught that massage is important for internal organs. In fact, most
doctors I know don't think massage is useful at all, which sort of just
goes to show you how little they know about how the human body really works!
But massage is critical. And of course, so is nutrition. Once again, your
best strategy here for your gall bladder is to avoid removing it. Instead,
support gall bladder health through diet, nutrition, and physical exercise. For
the reader question in particular, if you've had the gall bladder removed,
and you're having a lot of discomfort. What should you do now? I'm sorry
to say that these are the predictable side effects of having a gall bladder
removed. And chances are your doctor or surgeon probably didn't explain
this fully to you. Surgeons have a habit of making everything sound really
simple, up until the day you have the procedure done. Then, you start
experiencing all sorts of rather serious side effects, and they say, "Oh
yeah! That could happen as well." Hopefully, in this experience,
you've learned a lesson. And that lesson is, don’t
have body parts removed by overzealous surgeons. I don’t
know how to state it any simpler than that. I'm sorry I don’t
have a simple solution for you to regain your health after having your
gall bladder removed. But the fact is, when you start removing important
organs from your body, it is going to have some serious negative consequences
-- by the way, bloating and nausea is really only the tip of the iceberg
here. The worst effects are the ones you probably won't feel, that is, impaired digestion for the rest of your life and chronic essential fatty acid deficiencies. In fact, people without gall bladders need to take special care of the foods they consume for the rest of their lives. And above all, they need to avoid all fried foods and any snack foods containing hydrogenated oils or trans fatty acids due to the role of the gall bladder plays in neutralizing excess dietary cholesterol.
| How To Handle a Rumor: The Test of Three |
Keep this philosophy in mind the next time you either hear or are about to repeat a rumor.
In ancient Greece
(469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day the
great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who ran up to him excitedly
and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your
students?"
"Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before
you tell me, I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Test
of Three."
"Three?"
"That's right, Socrates continued. "Before
you talk to me about my student let's take a moment to test what you're
going to say. The first test is Truth. Have you made absolutely
sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"
No," the man said, "actually
I just heard about it."
"All right," said Socrates. "So
you don't really know if it's True or not."
"Now let's try
the second test, the test of Goodness. Is what you are about to
tell me about my student something good?"
"No, on the
contrary..."
"So," Socrates continued, "you
want to tell me something bad about him even though you're not certain
it's true?"
The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.
Socrates continued. "You
may still pass though, because there is a third test - the filter of Usefulness.
Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be Useful to me?"
"No, not really..."
"Well," concluded Socrates, "if
what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why
tell it to me at all?"
The man was defeated and ashamed. This was the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.
Of course, it also may explain why Socrates never found out that Plato was cavorting with his wife ;)
