Ulterior Health

What if….

Most people do not have a life style or the health to be able to exercise. Exercise is an excellent form of weight loss, cancer prevention and in some cases a cure for many diseases including cancer.

Many are faced with economic challenges and cannot afford medical treatment for weight loss.

There are a myriad of weight loss books and programs. Some work for some and not for others which probably includes us.

What if there was truths in each and every one of those diet programs.

I have been testing this theory of mine. In the past week, I have gone from 298 lbs to 285.5 lbs yesterday and today 8/29/08 down to 284.5 lbs.

The first ten lbs can be water weight. So, what will tomorrow and the next week bring?

The diet is simple. It involves combination, elimination, and multiplication.

Combination

The diet involves combination of many diets. Most boost immune power. All make you lose weight with out exercise. If you exercise, the results will be more dramatic.

Elimination This involves eliminating two things. Anything that is toxic to the body. In my case I continue to boost my glutathione with supplements and diet.

This means no MSG, no nitrates (no processed meats), no milk unless organic, no aspartame, etc.

It also involves elimination of foods that either I have an allergy to or cause a weight gain reaction.
No milk products unless they come from organic milk (Prolac, the hormone given to make cows make more milk makes me break out in a rash. This is true even of cheese or yogurt.).
No bread or pasta.

No cookies, cake or processed wheat products and foods like these.

The first response my wife had to my plan was how much it was going to cost.

The first week bill was about $120
Second week bill came in at $70 (this week had the most dramatic results from a diet addition)
Third week bill ended at $40

The frig is fuller than ever. Tuesday is grocery day. We will only need a few things.

Sorry Starbucks, you didn’t make any money on us.
No fast food, no snacks, no sodas, no junk food. We don’t own stock in them so no loss to us.

Oh, but we do get to have snacks. watermelon, cantelope, apples, fruit cocktail only made by me (no sugar, etc).

What if you could lose weight, save money, eat more than ever and feel better?
Next time, find out how much I am eating. Hint…more than ever.

This article is rather interesting because of how large a group it looks at. It lacks the one thing that started me on this quest to understand the ulterior health factors.

The question: What does the cysteine do? The answer: produce the bodies master cancer

In fighting the anti-aging war, we need to be vigilant in finding and dealing with these insurgents.

The solution to fluoride poisoning is just avoid fluoride. If there are health problems as a result, then the detoxifying effects of glutathione could help.

Hidden Danger…MSG and Aspartame

EPO & Sports: Not the Only Controversy

The news if rife with stories about athletes using EPO to enhance performance.

This is not the only controversy surrounding this cloned version of the human hormone erythropoietin.

A number of doctors are using this drug off label or outside of the pharmaceutical guidelines. Many are doing this to respect the healthcare wishes of their patients wanting alternatives to blood transfusions.

Some are doing this because not only is it good medicine, it is good business.

St Joseph’s Hospital of Cleveland Ohio advertises that it can shorten your hospital stay from 1/2 to three days.

The reason for the growth in the use of this drug is a growing number of patients in the US and the world wanting to eliminate the risk of blood borne diseases. This means if faced with the need for a blood transfusion, they want options or alternative treatments.

The controversy is in the effectiveness of the treatment. A second problem is the black box warning.

Seems some doc’s are giving it too much and too often. The result is too much blood and that causes other problems. Even so, it is advancing the field of alternatives to transfusions.

As a result of advances, two hospitals in the US have virtually eliminated blood transfusions all together.

On the other side of the is the use of blood transfusions when blood counts drop to unsafe levels. The challenge facing health care, what exactly are unsafe levels.

Dr Richard Spence of St Agnes Hospital in Baltimore, MD USA made this comment regarding the practice of blood transfusions.

“…there are no high level studies that show the effecy of blood transfusions.
The studies show the exact opposite.”

But what about when doctors say blood saves lives?

Dr Spence has said in conferences that there is anecdotal evidence but that evidence is not hard science. If an alternative that can have the same or better effect, reduce risk of both infection, complication and even death, why wouldn’t we want to use it.

All of the evidence says it works.

This controversy will not end soon.

The Mindless Middle

There is a mindless middle. A place between the sports controversy and the medical controversy.

In order to prevent the problems some clinicians have found that just giving iron results in the body making enough red blood cells. Many are giving an IV form of iron with remarkable success.

That is not what’s interesting. What is interesting is those who cannot tolerate the IV iron are given black strap molasses and peanut-butter. It works to boost the blood count.

No EPO, just iron, protein, and the building blocks of red blood cells.

There is more…

There is a body of research that says boosting the bodies glutathione levels increases the bodies red cell count.

In my families experience, just a few weeks on one of the glutathione boosting products resulted in a post operation day one blood count higher than the count prior to surgery.
Not only that, there was no infection at the surgery site. As to the healing, well the clinicians said they had never seen anything like it, regarding the heeling being so fast.

So we have gone backwards to advance science.

Wow…

What is Glutathione

The other title:Preserve That Fresh Smelling Room and Your Body Prior to Your Death at a Fraction of the Cost of Embalming with Air Fresheners

One of the most basic underlying or ulterior causes of health problems is foreign substances the human body is exposed to.

This briefly looks at fragrances in air fresheners, the health risks, the chemicals and potential chemical reactions to ambient substances. Links to the original paper and how to find what chemicals are in your fragrances or soaps.

A recent University of Washington Toxic Chemical Paper had some eye opening information. When you click on the link you can down load the paper in PDF form.

An overview…
The first landmark studies were in 1991-2.

The study analyzed 31 fragranced products like perfumes, deodorants, soaps, fabric softeners, and air fresheners found . The most common risk exposure was found in more than one-third of the products. The chemical list was quite long. It included ethanol, limonene, linalool, ?-phenethyl alcohol, ?-myrcene, benzyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde, ?-terpineol, ?-citronellol, and ?-
pinene.

That was over 20 years ago. In a 2001 study analyzed 59 consumer and occupational products. The list included soap, laundry products, dish washing detergents, and cleaners. The study looked at 19 target fragrance compounds.

Of these, the most common chemicals in more than one third of the products, were limonene, linalool, citronellol, eucalyptol, geraniol, and ?-pinene.

But wait… this is not whats interesting.

What is interesting is what the study founds happens to some of these chemicals.

The chemicals were not bad enough on their own. Some of these chemicals can react with normal every day things that may already be in the air we breathe.
When combined, a secondary pollutant can be created.

Without getting into the geekey stuff, air freshener chemicals can combine with ozone to create aldehyde, also known a formaldehyde.

They have also been associated with asthma and asthmatic exacerbations (although other studies deny this finding) and allergic contact dermatitis.

Note…My personal thoughts…Hmmm, breathing in toxic chemicals does not cause asthma problems so they must be safe for asthmatics.

It gets better…the article indicates that the US manufacturers of these products do not need to disclose all ingredients.

Note…If you would like to find out what chemicals are in your fragrances all you need is a MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) This has the product safety information sheets prepared by manufacturers and marketers of products containing toxic chemicals. You do have to join to access the information. It is free.

So, you have a choice. Go ahead and assume they are safe because the government is taking such good care of us, surely they would tell us if these were dangerous. Who knows, maybe science will find that breathing in formaldhyde will preserve you alive even though you die.

Or, become an educated consumer. Avoid the ulterior health risks.

There is one other protection we can take. Since these are everywhere, boosting our bodies detoxifying mechanism will help remove the toxins we take in. The best way to do this is to boost your glutathione.

Check out this press release. Note what doctors want you to know.

These are the same doctors that some people say do not want you to know things. As a nurse, I never believed the “they don’t want you to know nay sayers.” For over 15 years there has rarely been a patient that did not get vitamins of some kind.

So, this is what your doctor WANTS YOU TO KNOW.
Yes, I am shouting. You can lower your cancer risk with this one ulterior healthy lifestyle change away from processed meats.

Sea Salt vs Table Salt, which is better for health?

The difference is apples and oranges.

Although both have the same nutritional values, the differences start there.

Sea Salt
Comes from the sea, evaporated from sea water. If it is not refined, it will taste different than table salt due to the different minerals within. It does not have additives or added iodine. However, like sea food, it naturally contains iodine.

Some websites suggest 80 minerals are present in sea salt.

Table Salt

Table salt is made from rock salt mined from mineral deposits. It is usually refined into a form closer to pure sodium chloride. It also comes in an iodized form. The refining process removes most of the minerals.

Most medical studies use table salt which poses a unique problem. What effect does the absence of trace elements and minerals have on our body?

Table salt is usually associated with the feeling of being bloated.

Which is better?

Sounds like the sea salt.

One thing…none of the studies or web sites showed the associated need to hydrate the body along with the salt. This is an essential aspect of our health.

In the book The Water Cure it is suggested that we drink much more water than you would think, only adding salt to our diet.

The result, you can lose weight by just drinking water.

Like Dr. Jeckel, aspartame turns into something different when ingested.

If you look young for your age and you drink diet soda then to say your well preserved might be an understatement. If you get migraines or know someone who does, then this is even more relevant.

A study by the University of Miami in Florida, USA found that migraines might be linked to aspartame.

When we drink aspartame it turns into formaldehyde. This is not some urban legend web scare tactic. This is right from Pub Med, the government web site that prints abstracts of the peer reviewed medical journals.

You can see it here…Aspartame and Migraines: A Possible Connection

The underlying cause of many health problems are often the toxins we ingest.
We need to not only eliminate the toxins, we need to detoxify our bodies. The best way to do this is by boosting our intercellular glutathione.

Good Health to you.
