Ulterior Health

Moving my business offices to a new city a few hours away from our old office has resulted in me leaving go many tasks like posting on this blog.

However this could not be passed up.

The SELECT study on vitamin E and Selenium need to be exposed.

The study, if you heard of it, stated that they do no good and could do harm. This is absolutely true. The form of vitamin E and the dose of selenium used in the study could indeed prove harmful to your health. They should be avoided at all costs.

What should you do?

The chemically-derived vitamin E (dl-alpha tocopherol acetate) given at 400 IU per day did have deleterious effects in the SELECT study. What should you conclude? If you see an “l” after the “d” in a vitamin E (see above) then it should be avoided if you read between the lines according to the study.

In this case, this vitamin e is made from coal tar and it has little or no antioxidant properties.

What about selenium that was used in the SELECT study? l-selenomethionine was used at a dose of 200 mcg.

This is the typical dose given to prostate cancer patients, burn patients and numerous others. However, the doctors tend to be divided on the effectiveness of this.

What we know is that selenium is an essential macronutrient. This means it is needed for life and health. This is because it is an essential co-factor in the production of glutathione. Thousands of medical studies show that glutathione plays a major role in fighting cancer.

We also know many dietary and drug interactions could reduce the absorption of the mineral. Reduce the intake and reduce the glutathione formation and increase other complications.

For instance, statins suppress selenium absorption. In the test, this would have had to be accounted for by giving a higher dose.

Since statins damage muscle and nerves, the increased potential diabetes risk could be a side effect of the statin and not the selenium.

So when you hear a study that is not congruent with common knowledge, it is usually because of a flaw.

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
fighting warrior, Glutathione. It has natural healing properties.

Good health to you.

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.

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.
