Ulterior Health

In the middle of moving a dinner invite came. The dinner included three small glasses of wine. Then came the 98 octane coffee.

I am one who says coffee does not keep me awake. Funny thing, my usual 5 hours of sleep was only 3 1/2 hours. Awake and unable to go back to sleep and a long day scheduled was not fun.

Then at 5 AM it was brought to my attention that my lips looked dry. Very dry at that.

Wine may help you go to sleep faster but it will not help you have a good nights sleep. Actually the opposite is true. Now add caffeine and with the dehydration from that alcohol, you have a perfect storm to keep you awake.

Simple lesson here about medications, drugs, and chemicals we expose our body to. The more dehydrated we are the more potential to react or not. We are so complex in our make up, sometimes one thing that may have no effect can have greater effect depending on that balance.

Even 12 hours later the imbalance is still being felt in my being thirsty. Bringing the balance back could take a few days.

If you drink, remember to compensate with increased water intake prior to sleep.

Oh yea, one more thing. People often wonder why Beer passes though you so fast. A urologist I once worked for shared the reason why this is.

It seems that it does not have to stop to change colors.

Good health to you.

New findings of treatment that will reduce cancer related deaths by up to 44%.

Even more exciting, the treatment has been shown to reduce cardiovascular death by a remarkable 73%.

The treatment was reported in the September BMJ from the Harvard School of Public Health. It gets even better. There are few untoward side-effects. Those experiencing side effects will usually find they go away after a short time.

Also there are virtually no known drug interaction problems with this treatment. It is commonly known in health care that when you take ten medications, there is a 100% chance of all of them interacting with each other.

In some cases, this treatment will reduce or even eliminate the need for some medications. However, do not stop with out consulting your doctor.

The unfortunate aspect of the treatment is the cost. It is not covered by medicare, Medicaid, or any insurance company to my knowledge at this time. This means it will not be available to the vast majority of those who need it the most.

What is it? The link to the study can be found at the bottom.

It does not come in a pill form although it can be hard to swallow.

It is perhaps the ultimate ulterior health treatment we could ever institute in our life.

It is a life style change.

The study, managed by doctors consists of very simple treatments. What is the treatment? Stop smoking, eat healthy, exercise. This explains why insurance companies will not pay for it. Yes, a price most will not want to pay.

if you add supplementation and flush the toxins from your body, the cardiovascular risk and cancer risk can be cut by 90%.

Imagine, dying from old age rather than a dreaded disease like cancer.

All for the want of a simple treatment.

The study shows that these lifestyle changes can reduce your risk of death from ALL causes by 55%.

Are you willing to pay the price to reduce cancer risk, decrease cancer mortality

Good health to you.
