This failure is inexcusable considering that anyone can reverse type 2 diabetes and stop type 1 diabetes in its tracks in a few months or less once you understand the true cause of diabetes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diabetes is a metabolic disease caused by the Standard American Diet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It produces dehydration, acidosis, low oxygen and damage from oxidation caused by free

use may cause cancer&lt;/a&gt;: "Scientists from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a group affiliated with the World Health Organization (WHO), say that mobile phones are a 'possible' carcinogen that may be a cause of cancer. The findings, which support previous research on the subject, add to the growing body of evidence which suggests that the electromagnetic radiation emitted from mobile phones causes serious health problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'A positive association has been observed between exposure to the agent and cancer for which a causal interpretation is considered ... to be credible,' states the IARC. However, in the same train of thought, the agency claims that evidence is 'limited' to suggest that mobile phone usage is linked to glioma or acoustic neuroma, two types of brain cancer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2009, IARC published a study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology that linked mobile phone usage to an 18 percent increase in brain tumor risk. And because it was observed that such tumors tended to form on the sides of brains where mobile phones were primarily used, the connection between the two is even more striking (http://www.naturalnews.com/027448_c...)."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&lt;br /&gt;We recommend that you use ear phones with your cell phones, not blue tooth, which is actually worse, since it puts the emitter of the radiation deeper into your skull. Frequently shift the location of the phone on your body, left side, right side, back of the belt, etc. Finally, make sure you take massive amounts of antioxidants, which counteract the damage done by the cell phone radiation.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-2203339742945088717?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.naturalnews.com/032609_cell_phones_cancer.html' title='WHO panel warns that cell phone use may cause cancer'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/2203339742945088717/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2011/06/who-panel-warns-that-cell-phone-use-may.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/2203339742945088717'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/2203339742945088717'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2011/06/who-panel-warns-that-cell-phone-use-may.html' title='WHO panel warns that cell phone use may cause cancer'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-5232846838023110872</id><published>2011-03-22T18:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-22T18:57:27.448-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Lipoprotein (a) - How To Reduce</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.drlam.com/opinion/Lp(a).asp"&gt;Lipoprotein (a) - How To Reduce&lt;/a&gt;: "Lipoprotein A, commonly called Lp(a), is a major independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The optimum laboratory level should be under 20 mg/dl and preferrably under 14 mg/dl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Currently, there is no medicine or drugs that to effectively lower your Lp(a). A high Lp(a) is genetically linked.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately, Mother Nature has provided us a much better non-toxic alternative. It consist of large doses of vitamin C, L-lysine, and L-proline. Vitamin C, L-Lysine and L-proline are the basic building blocks of collagen. When these vitamins enter our bodies, they form collagen in large amounts. This is necessary, as collagen must be replenished in blood vessels to remain healthy and plaque free over periods of time. The reason is simple - Lp(a) is manufacturered in the liver in response to aging vascular system and 'micro-fissures' in the endothelial vascular wall. The body, in its attempt to patch up these fissures, produce cholesterol and its relative Lp(a). &lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, Both cholesterol and Lp(a) are sticky , making them perfect for the job."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-5232846838023110872?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.drlam.com/opinion/Lp(a).asp' title='Lipoprotein (a) - How To Reduce'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/5232846838023110872/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2011/03/lipoprotein-how-to-reduce.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/5232846838023110872'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/5232846838023110872'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2011/03/lipoprotein-how-to-reduce.html' title='Lipoprotein (a) - How To Reduce'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-2545938717659181318</id><published>2011-03-22T18:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-22T18:55:26.835-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Acrylamide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylamide#Cooking_methods_that_affect_acrylamide_production"&gt;Acrylamide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia&lt;/a&gt;: "In February 2009, Health Canada announced that they were assessing whether acrylamide, which occurs naturally during the cooking of French fries, potato chips, and other processed foods, is a hazard to human health and whether any regulatory action needs to be taken"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-2545938717659181318?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylamide#Cooking_methods_that_affect_acrylamide_production' title='Acrylamide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/2545938717659181318/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2011/03/acrylamide-wikipedia-free-encyclopedia.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/2545938717659181318'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/2545938717659181318'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2011/03/acrylamide-wikipedia-free-encyclopedia.html' title='Acrylamide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-1500296885176144621</id><published>2011-02-23T09:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-23T21:12:03.212-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='heart attack'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Statins'/><title type='text'>Statins Are Dangerous, Ineffective, Expensive Drugs!</title><content type='html'>New study finds cholesterol meds don't work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Can it really be true that statins won't stop heart attacks?"&lt;br /&gt;That was the incredulous headline in a recent edition of Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.&lt;br /&gt;They were referring to a damning new analysis from the Cochrane Collaboration, which found that statins don't make a drop of difference for 99.9 percent of all low-risk customers conned into taking them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, conned -- because these are the customers (let's stop calling them patients) who've made statins into the world's best-selling drugs. They're the millions of people who take these meds every day despite no history of heart attacks or heart disease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heck, some don't even have high cholesterol levels.&lt;br /&gt;So why are they taking them? Good question -- because it's certainly not doing them any good: The new study looked at 14 clinical trials involving more than 34,000 customers, and found you'd have to give 1,000 of these people statins every day for an entire year to prevent a single death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Put another way, that's an absolute reduction of a tenth of a percent -- smaller than a statistical blip.&lt;br /&gt;But hold on a minute, because even that teensy-weensy "benefit" is just a wild exaggeration!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Cochrane team found evidence of bias and selective reporting of results to favor the meds -- which shouldn't be a stunner since most of the trials in the analysis were funded by statin makers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in addition to exaggerating the drug's supposed benefits, the researchers either hid the side effects or never even bothered to report them at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let me report them here: Statins have been linked to intense and debilitating muscle pain, kidney failure, liver dysfunction, and cataracts. Some people have reported severe memory loss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Britain's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency even warned recently that some statin users suffer from sexual problems, sleep loss, and depression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now that the cat's out of the bag and even the mainstream media has spotted it, let's get back to that headline: Can it really be true that statins won't stop heart attacks?&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Yes, its true!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now, the rest of the world knows it too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;_____________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;Bill's Comments:&lt;br /&gt;_____________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;There is No reason to take dangerous, expensive drugs that never cure anything.

Clinical studies published in the professional journals "Hypertension" and "Nitric Oxide" found that this characteristic of beet juice helped reduced blood pressure and improve blood flow to the brain in older adults. As a result, the researchers theorize that nitrites in beet juice may help protect heart health and prevent cognitive decline in the aging brain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A 2 in diameter beet contains about 35 calories and 8 gms of carbohydrates.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;From Dr Al Sears &amp;nbsp;When you eat it, the beet root is mixed with your saliva and bacteria on your tongue. This combo turns into nitric oxide.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;When it gets to your stomach, another reaction occurs, and the natural nitrate is recirculated throughout your body. This helps your blood vessels relax and eases your blood pressure. You see the biggest drop 3-4 hours after eating beet root. But the effects last for up to 24 hours.8&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;You can get the most out of beet roots by either chewing them raw or throwing them in your juicer.

In 2008, the figure was 23.6 million. About one in four is unaware of the condition. An additional 79 million now have pre-diabetes, 22 million more than estimated in 2008.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;Mainstream medicine has no answer for the diabetic catastrophe engulfing us. They project that 1/2 the population will have diabetes by 2050, or sooner.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;"Diabetes is a chronic disease that is incurable!" The American Diabetes Association &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;In fact, diabetes is not a disease, and is curable&lt;/b&gt;!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;Many alternative medicine docs (&lt;a href="http://bz9.com/twtr"&gt;Dr Stephen Ripicci&lt;/a&gt;, Dr Thomas Lodi,) etc &amp;nbsp;view diabetes as a warning from the body that it is breaking down. The cardiovascular system, the nervous system and the kidneys are breaking down and you are dying. What about blood sugar?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;Blood sugar is a symptom, not a cause of diabetes. Aggressively attacking blood sugar is not effective in curing diabetes and in fact, further destroy the diabetic body, culminating in death by heart attack for 80% of diabetics.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;Diabetes, like most other chronic, degenerative "diseases," like cancer, heart trouble, fibromyalgia, acid reflux, osteoporosis, etc. are caused by Bad Food! "Serious diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, etc.that are linked to diet, Kill 2 out of 3 Americans each year!" National Cancer Institute.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;Dr Caldwell Esselstyn, a noted cardiologist, discovered that heart disease was caused by diet. He has spent the last 20 years curing thousands of cardiovascular disease patients with diet. He has also written a best seller, "How to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease" in which he describes his successes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;Dr Hiromi Shinya, a world famous oncologist, (cancer specialist), prevents and cures cancer with diet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;Bad food, the USDA approved Standard American Diet, SAD, damages the body and destroys its immune system, giving rise to the above mentioned chronic diseases.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;You see, the body is designed to cure itself. Everyday, it defeats all types of diseases. This process, referred to broadly as "homeostasis" is how the body maintains its health by adjusting to external forces.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;However, homeostasis, depends on maintaining certain conditions in the body.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Acid/Alkaline Balance&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Adequate Oxygen&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Adequate Hydration&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sufficient Antioxidants&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;Healthy cells require the Ph, or acid alkaline balance, to be slightly alkaline or a reading of 7.365 in order for the physiological and biochemical processes that define life to function normally.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They also require adequate oxygen to function.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The body is 70% water and sufficient water is needed by every cell to function correctly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Free radicals, mutant chemicals that oxidize or damage every part of the cell, including its nucleus, can overwhelm the body's store of antioxidants.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Standard American Diet is composed of foods and drinks that are acidic, upsetting the acid/alkaline balance and causing a deficit of oxygen in the cells.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The diet also is deficient in antioxidants as well as water. In other words, the SAD diet is made up of Bad Foods!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Good Foods are the true cure&amp;nbsp;for these chronic, degenerative diseases, including &lt;a href="http://www.greattastenopain.com/cmdt.asp?id=1298519"&gt;acid reflux, Chron's disease, IBS and other gastrointestinal maladies.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The most important and most powerful Good Food, is Ionized Water. This is water that mimics the water from the healthiest waters found in pristine glacial streams found in places like the High Himalayas, Bad Nordenau in Germany, and in several sites in the Andes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This water is naturally high in alkaline minerals, which combat the acid in the cells and restore their acid/alkaline balance. It is also a powerful antioxidant, neutralizing the dangerous free radicals, it is also loaded with extra oxygen.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Unfortunately, this natural water is not stable and therefore cannot be bottled and sold commercially. The Japanese, fortunately, have been able to reproduce the water's qualities by ionizing plain tap water. In Japan, these water ionizers have been used in hundreds of hospitals to treat all types of diseases over the last 25 years.The aforementioned Dr Shinya, the oncologist, makes ionized water a staple in his anticancer treatments.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Also, over 25% of Japanese citizens have one of these ionizers at home and not incidentally, the Japanese are the longest lived people on the planet!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Other Good Foods are fruits and vegetables. These are the foods that were our original foods, along with a little meat. Our body's are programmed to sustain life with these foods. They are alkaline and rich in antioxidants.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When you adopt a diet of Good Foods, your body cures itself!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;If you have or know someone who has diabetes, send them to this link, it is my testimony of how I cured my type 2 diabetes. &lt;a href="http://i-beat-diabetes.com/"&gt;http://I-Beat-Diabetes.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bill Young, Nutritional Health Coach&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;646-961-3818&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-6225091302222456931?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/6225091302222456931/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2011/01/diabetes-numbers-rising-rapidly.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/6225091302222456931'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/6225091302222456931'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2011/01/diabetes-numbers-rising-rapidly.html' title='Failure Of Diabetes Treatment Means Diabetes Will Double by 2050!'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-6799833827352772082</id><published>2011-01-25T22:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-01T20:49:30.598-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dr. William Howard Hay'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oxygen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dr otto warburg'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dr Theodore Baroody'/><title type='text'>All Chronic,Degenerative Diseases Have One Cause!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Now we depart from health in just the proportion to which we have allowed our alkalis to be dissipated by introduction of acid-forming food in too great amount...

The bottom line for the US medical industry? Just like everything else in American culture, it's about making money off other people, not health.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Faculty physicians stay on the industry lecture circuit, where they can net tens of thousands in additional income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Critics of the practice say delivering talks for drug companies is incompatible with teaching future generations of physicians. That's because drug firms typically pick the topic of the lecture, train the speakers and require them to use company-provided presentation slides. They are in training to become drug salesmen for Big Pharma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You're giving someone else's messages, someone else's talk, someone else's judgments," said Dr. Bernard Lo, a medical professor at University of California, San Francisco who chaired a national panel [3] examining conflicts of interest in medicine. "We don't allow our students to use someone else's work."]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Examples are Dr. Alan Yeung [5], vice chairman of Stanford's department of medicine and chief of cardiovascular medicine who earned $53,000 [6] from Eli Lilly &amp; Co. in 2009 and the first half of 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Child psychiatrist Hans Steiner [7] was paid $109,000 [8] by Lilly to deliver talks about a drug for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The practice of paying doctors to become Big Pharma shills is widespread. It forms one of the major sources of influence over the practice of medicine in this country. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Big Pharma's goal is to maximize their profits, patient's health is secondary. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't take your doctor's word about your treatment. Do your own research on the web.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-2761182659231210758?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/2761182659231210758/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/12/med-school-professors-paid-big-bucks-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/2761182659231210758'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/2761182659231210758'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/12/med-school-professors-paid-big-bucks-to.html' title='Med school professors paid big bucks to whore for drug companies !'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-4055076552097248606</id><published>2010-12-16T20:34:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-16T20:42:34.769-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fibro'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pain killers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fibromyalgia'/><title type='text'>Do You Have Fibromyalgia?

Kruszewski, a Harvard-educated psychiatrist who once worked as a paid speaker for several drug makers, became a government informant and now consults for plaintiffs suing drug companies. Earlier in his career, he spoke at events for Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline and Johnson &amp; Johnson as an advocate of antipsychotics. He said one company offered him incentives of $1,000 or more every time he talked to an individual doctor about one of its drugs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“When I started speaking for companies in the late 1980s and early ’90s, I was allowed to say what I thought I should say consistent with the science,” he recalls. “Then it got to the point where I was no longer allowed to do that. I was given slides and told, ‘We’ll give you a thousand dollars if you say this for a half-hour.’ And I said: ‘I can’t say that.

It was a major multicenter clinical research study with over 3,000 participants aimed at discovering whether modest weight loss through dietary changes and increased physical activity or treatment with the oral diabetes drug metformin (Glucophage) could prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes in study participants. At the beginning of the DPP, participants were all overweight and had blood glucose, also called blood sugar, levels higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes—a condition called pre-diabetes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The DPP found that participants who lost a modest amount of weight through dietary changes and increased physical activity sharply reduced their chances of developing diabetes. Taking metformin also reduced risk, although less dramatically. The DPP resolved its research questions earlier than projected and, following the recommendation of an external monitoring board, the study was halted a year early. The researchers published their findings in the February 7, 2002, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-928736911528427115?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/928736911528427115/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/10/nih-study-finds-diet-and-exercise.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/928736911528427115'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/928736911528427115'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/10/nih-study-finds-diet-and-exercise.html' title='NIH Study Finds Diet and Exercise Almost Twice As Effective As Metformin In Reversing Pre-Diabetes'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-7669248234180857100</id><published>2010-10-02T14:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-02T14:52:46.311-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dr Ripich'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UCLA Medical school'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='American Diabetes Association'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diabetes'/><title type='text'>UCLA Med School Cures Diabetes in 3 Weeks!</title><content type='html'>More and more doctors and other medical professionals are becoming aware of the diabetes' industry's scam.

Where cell mitosis ceases and the life of the cell is short. Tests on mice fed cesium and rubidium showed marked shrinkage in the tumor masses within 2 weeks. In addition, the mice showed none of the side effects of cancer. Tests have been carried out on over 30 humans. In each case the tumor masses disappeared. Also all pains and effects associated with cancer disappeared within 12 to 36 hr; the more chemotherapy and morphine the patient had taken, the longer the withdrawal period.

Despite the increasing sophistication of surgical techniques, the introduction of new techniques such as balloon angioplasty, and a number of new drugs (e.g. beta blockers, calcium antagonists), it is estimated that over 1 million heart attacks will occur this year, resulting in 500,000 deaths.  In short, we do not have an adequate therapeutic solution to the problem of myocardial infarction (heart attack).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cornerstone of therapy for treatment and prevention of myocardial infarction is to remove blockages in coronary arteries that are thought to be the cause of the infarction.  This adheres to the widely accepted coronary artery thrombosis theory of infarction; that is, arteries become clogged with plaque, damaged from such things as smoking or high cholesterol.  A clot forms a fissure in the plaque.  The clot may shut off the blood flow of the coronary artery, causing a heart attack.  It is deceptively simple:  The coronary arteries are clogged.  No blood can flow, so the muscles of the heart cannot be supported, and heart metabolism stops, leading to death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Germany, another theory of myocardial infarction has been proposed by Dr. Berthold Kern (1911-1995).  Dr. Kern, while performing autopsies in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s, observed that the findings of these autopsies did not corroborate the coronary obstruction hypothesis.  He began researching the literature, looking for clues as to an alternative etiology.  What he found was not only a new theory that may provide the missing piece of the coronary obstruction theory, but a therapy now being used by over 5000 physicians in Germany with reportedly remarkable success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Kern’s claims, as set forth in his 1971 informational paper, Three Ways to Cardiac Infarction, can be summarized as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. The coronary obstruction theory cannot adequately explain observed facts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. The major etiologic factor underlying myocardial infarction is a primary chemical destructive process, cause by unchecked metabolic acidosis (accumulation of acid) in the left ventricular tissue and substantially unrelated to coronary artery disease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. The regular, clinical use of oral g-strophathin (a cardiac glycoside derived from the West African plant strophanthus gratus):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prevents lethal myocardial tissue acidosis, and thereby&lt;br /&gt;Substantially reduces the incidence of myocardial infarction and completely prevents infarction deaths.&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Kern’s observations that most myocardial infarctions occur in patients without significant obstruction of the coronary artery supplying the infracted tissue finds great support in the American peer-reviewed literature.  Since 1948, over a dozen reports of post-mortem examination of infracted hearts have consistently failed to corroborate the coronary artery thrombosis theory of myocardial infarction.  That is, victims of fatal heart attacks have had no evidence whatsoever of coronary occlusion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An example of the degree of non-confirmation can be ascertained by the following quote from a 1980 article on Circulation:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“These data support the concept that an occlusive coronary thrombus has no primary role in the pathogenesis of a myocardial infarct.”  The reviewer went on to note, “These reports also present clear refutation of the most common explanation used today to dismiss autopsy findings which detect no coronary thrombi, i.e. that thrombi existed at infarction but have since lysed, embolized or washed away.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There does not appear to be any literature that effectively refutes these autopsy findings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another source of inconsistent data are the many reports in the literature of myocardial infarction in patients without coronary artery disease, as deduced by normal coronary angiograms.  Other autopsy data has revealed widely scattered areas of necrotic tissue that produces a substantial incongruence between the area of infarction and the arterial supply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a 1988 editorial published in the New England Journal of Medicine titled “Twenty years of coronary bypass surgery,” Thomas Killip observed that “Neither the VA [Veterans' Administration] nor CASS [the National Institute of Health's Coronary Artery Surgery Study] has detected a significant difference in long-term survival between the two assigned treatment groups [surgical vs. medical] when all patients have been included…”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More recent work with coronary angioplasty and anti-thrombolytic agents has also failed to demonstrate any clear cut improvements in survival.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Kern went a step further.  In his review of the literature, he came across the notion of collaterals (or anastomoses), a finely-meshed network of small blood vessels that act as natural bypass channels in the heart muscle.  These collaterals have been made visible by Professor Giorgio Baroldi in studies at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baroldi developed a technique for filling the arteries of the heart with artificial blood, a chemical substance that thickens in the blood vessels.  When later the tissues were dissolved in acid, the entire structure of blood vessels in the heart was revealed.  Kern hypothesized that bypass grafts were created naturally by the body via the collaterals whenever a coronary artery became blocked.  Therefore, heart bypass would be redundant to a large degree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A study by Rentrop et al in the April 1, 1988 issue of The American Journal of Cardiology has produced results completely at odds with the coronary artery blockage theory, and consistent with Kern’s hypothesis.  In an accompanying editorial, Dr. Stephen Epstein of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute summarizes Rentrop and colleagues’ “extremely important observations.”  They found that in an advanced state of the narrowing of the coronary arteries, the supply of blood to the heart muscles is fully assured via collaterals that enlarge naturally in response to the blockage.  Interestingly, they observed that the more the coronaries narrow, the less danger there is of heart infarction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Kern’s second claim, i.e. his proposed new theory of metabolic acidosis, can be summarized as follows: Metabolic conditions in the most healthy of hearts are, at best, marginal in the constantly beating left ventricle.  This is the part of the heart responsible for pumping blood to most of the body, the right ventricle merely supplying the lungs.  Oxygen and energy requirements are always perilously close to available supplies, and any of the several stressors may cause an oxygen/energy deficit, with deterioration in oxidative metabolism, and consequent development of acidosis.  Lack of oxygen sets off the process of zymosis or fermentation metabolism, an anaerobic process, in order to produce energy in the cells.  This, in turn, lowers the pH.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This lowering of the pH sets off a destructive chemical process, literally a suicide reaction of the cell.  Lysozymal enzymes are released, causing cell self-digestion.  This starts as a single point in the muscle, then many points, which eventually join to form a small area of necrotic tissue.  Finally, a critical mass is reached, no bigger than the head of a pin, which triggers larger and larger areas of damaged tissue, resulting in infarction (heart attack).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ideally then, the remedy to address infarction would be a restoration of pH balance to the heart muscle, thereby preventing tissue damage and fatal infarction.  The problem Kern faced was how to accomplish this without causing positive inotropy [increasing the strength of the muscular contraction], i.e. without putting further stress on the contracting heart muscle itself.  The cardiac glycosides, including digitalis and the strophanthin byproduct known as ouabain, are known to produce such a deleterious effect, and this is why they are not effective against infarction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is where Kern made an important re-discovery.  In reviewing the literature, he came across the work of Dr. Edens, who in the 1920s had reported on a qualitatively different effect of strophanthin given intravenously versus orally.  Specifically, the positive inotropic effects [that is, increasing contraction] that accompanied intravenous administration were not observed with oral administration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This important observation has been confirmed in a study by Belz published in the European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology in 1984.  Utilizing a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind methodology, the researchers found that the intravenous ouabain (strophanthin) produced the expected increase in cardiac inotropy.  However, the investigators stated quite definitely that, “… the single sublingual (oral) dose of ouabain did not exert a positive inotropic effect.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The postulated mechanism of action, based on animal research done by Adams, Powell and Erdmann, is that there are two receptors in the heart: “High affinity” and “Low affinity.”  It is thought that intravenous administration triggers low affinity receptors, and thus positive inotropy.  High affinity receptors, on the other hand, react to small concentrations of g-strophanthin via oral administration, thereby avoiding the dangerous effect of positive inotropy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Kern reported results of his clinical practice in Stuttgart over the period 1947-1968 involving over 15,000 patients.  His patients treated with oral g-strophanthin experienced no fatal infarcts and only 20 non-fatal heart infarcts.  These patients included many suffering infarction prior to entering the study.  In contrast with these results, government statistics for the same time period would have predicted over 120 fatal heart attacks and over 400 non-fatal infarctions in a group of patients this size.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Currently, there are approximately 5000 M.D.s in Germany using and prescribing oral g-strophanthin.  The booklet Eine Dokumentation ambulanz-kardiologischer Therapie Ergebnisse nach Anwendung oralen g-strophanthin represents the results of a survey wherein 3645 medical doctors made statements on use of this remedy in their practices from 1976 to 1983.  Of these, 3552 gave exclusively positive testimony with no reservations.  No one gave a negative response.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to accumulating clinical experience, a number of studies have demonstrated excellent results with oral g-strophanthin.  One fascinating report in a real-life setting took place at a German coal mine.  During the period 1972-1974, miners suffered episodes of acute chest pain 229 times.  Medical help was a two-hour ride away, and 11 miners died during this period.  From 1975-1980, all miners who experienced acute chest pain (280 episodes) were immediately given oral g-strophanthin.  During this period, which was twice as long as the comparison period, no miners died after the onset of symptoms.  No toxic side effects were observed.  Many variables were studied, i.e. age better access to treatment, different working conditions, etc to ensure comparability of observation periods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A rigorous, double blind, randomized control study of oral g-strophanthin in the treatment of angina showed impressive results at statistically different levels.  After fourteen days, 81% of patients in the treated group experienced a reduction in attacks, while in the control group, 72% receiving placebos registered an increase in attacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a study of 150 seriously ill heart patients, who altogether had 254 heart attacks, oral g-strophanthin was successful in 85% of the cases.  Dr. Dohrmann, who conducted the study, observed, “A positive result was registered when the severe heart attack abated at least five minutes after the g-strophanthin capsule was bitten through, and after ten minutes at the latest, they disappeared completely.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A consistent feature of clinical reports using oral g-strophanthin is the absence of side effects.  The cost of this remedy, which is currently available to German physicians and their patients, is approximately $30 per month for typical use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this point, every indication suggests that oral g-strophanthin may be a significant breakthrough in the treatment and prevention of myocardial infarction.  What is needed is a definitive American clinical trial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At an annual meeting of the American College of Cardiology in New Orleans, it was mentioned that every year one million US citizens suffer a heart attack.  Of these, about 60 percent get to the hospital alive.  About 16 percent never leave the hospital, and a further 10 percent die within a year.

Free radicals are formed disproportionately in diabetes by glucose oxidation, nonenzymatic glycation of proteins, and the subsequent oxidative degradation of glycated proteins. Abnormally high levels of free radicals and the simultaneous decline of antioxidant defense mechanisms can lead to damage of cellular organelles and enzymes, increased lipid peroxidation, and development of insulin resistance. These consequences of oxidative stress can promote the development of complications of diabetes mellitus. Changes in oxidative stress biomarkers, including superoxide" dismutase, catalase, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione levels, vitamins, lipid peroxidation, nitrite concentration, nonenzymatic glycosylated proteins, and hyperglycemia in diabetes, and their consequences, are discussed in this review. In vivo studies of the effects of various conventional and alternative drugs on these biomarkers are surveyed. There is a need to continue to explore the relationship between free radicals, diabetes, and its complications, and to elucidate the mechanisms by which increased oxidative stress accelerates the development of diabetic complications, in an effort to expand treatment options.&lt;br /&gt;*********************************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;Bill's comments&lt;br /&gt;*********************************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;Do you think that their "effort to expand treatment options" would include an alkaline diet or Ionized water?

Type I diabetes is caused by destruction of the pancreatic beta cells responsible for producing insulin. In humans, the diabetogenic process appears to be caused by immune destruction of the beta cells; part of this process is apparently mediated by white cell production of active oxygen species. Diabetes can be produced in animals by the drugs alloxan and streptozotocin; the mechanism of action of these two drugs is different, but both result in the production of active oxygen species. Scavengers of oxygen radicals are effective in preventing diabetes in these animal models. Not only are oxygen radicals involved in the cause of diabetes, they also appear to play a role in some of the complications seen in long-term treatment of diabetes. Changes in antioxidants in the diabetic state and their consequences are discussed."&lt;br /&gt;***************************************************************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;Bill's comments&lt;br /&gt;****************************************************************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;Here is work that suggests that whatever the mechanism, autoimmune or not, the actual destruction of the beta cells is &lt;br /&gt;carried out by free radicals.

Epstein, M.D., chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition. and Rosalie Bertell, Ph.D. of the International Physicians for Humanitarian Medicine. &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a woman follows the current guidelines for premenopausal screening, over a 10 year period she would receive a total dosage of about 5 rads. This approximates the level of exposure to radiation of a Japanese woman one mile from the epicenter of atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima or Nagasaki.”"&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the beef: Five radiologists have served as presidents of the American Cancer Society (ACS). In its every move, the ACS promotes the interests of the major manufacturers of mammogram machines and films, including Siemens, DuPont, General Electric, Eastman Kodak, and Piker. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This bias hypes mammography, which Dr. Epstein and Rosalie Bertell, Ph.D. of the International Physicians for Humanitarian Medicine emphasize is an avoidable cause of breast cancer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The mammography industry conducts research for the ACS and its grantees, serves on its advisory boards, and donates considerable funds," they warn. "DuPont, a major producer of mammography machines, also is a substantial backer of the ACS Breast Health Awareness Program; sponsors television shows and other media productions touting ACS literature for hospitals, clinics, medical organization, and doctors; produces educational films; and aggressively lobbies Congress for legislation promoting the nationwide availability of mammography services." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ACS promotion continues to lure women of all ages into mammography centers, leading them to believe that mammography is their best hope against breast cancer. A leading Massachusetts newspaper featured a photograph of two women in their twenties in an ACS advertisement that promised early detection results in a cure "nearly 100 percent of the time." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An ACS communications director, questioned by journalist Kate Dempsey, admitted in an article published by the Massachusetts Women's Community's journal Cancer, "The ad isn't based on a study. When you make an advertisement, you just say what you can to get women in the door. You exaggerate a point...Mammography today is a lucrative [and] highly competitive business." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not surprisingly, the prestigious Chronicle of Philanthropy, the leading charity watch dog, has warned that &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;the ACS "is more interested in accumulating wealth than saving lives." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Screening mammography should be phased out in favor of annual clinical breast examination, (CBE), by a trained nurse and monthly breast self examination (BSE), also following training by a trained nurse. This is an effective, safe, and low-cost alternative, to diagnostic mammography, the Drs Epstein and Bartell advise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Such action is all the more critical and overdue in view of the still poorly recognized evidence that mammography does not lead to decreased breast cancer mortality," they say. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drs. Epstein and Bertell envision nationwide networks of BSE and CBE clinics, staffed by trained nurses, saying, "These low-cost clinics would also empower women by providing them with scientific evidence on the risks of breast cancer, and also on its prevention." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In summary, ACS; heavily influenced by radiologists serving as President, Directors and advisors to ACS, promotes mammography,providing massive products to the industry, despite its lack of proof of its effectiveness and considerable danger to women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The Industry then puts money into the pockets of the American Cancer Society.

It only provides  more proof to what we have alleged in the past. All of the major disease support associations are Big Pharma, Medical Mafia fronts.

Kagan foundation (Go Pink, Fight Breast Cancer!)recently launched a joint promotion with Kentucky Fried Chicken (Pink buckets of chicken!) whose main product is a major producer of free radicals in the body which damage cells and contribute to cancer. The Foundation got $1 Million out of the scandalous deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The American Diabetes Association recently linked its own deal with the devil, signing a marketing agreement with Cadbury Schwepps, maker of sugary sodas and candies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ADA will allow cadbury to place the ADA's logo on its diet sodas, implying the &lt;br /&gt;ADA's recommendation of these sodas to diabetics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The idea that the ADA would encourage its hapless supporters to drink unhealthy, acidic, aspertame (a proven neurotoxin) containing soft drinks, proves the point that the ADA, like the other disease support groups, will throw their members under the bus in return for the Bucks!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-8242711738337422396?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/8242711738337422396/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/09/cancer-society-has-financial-ties-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/8242711738337422396'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/8242711738337422396'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/09/cancer-society-has-financial-ties-to.html' title='Cancer Society Has $$ Ties to Cancer Producers'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-571633771559865605</id><published>2010-09-02T09:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-02T09:48:07.524-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='scientific research'/><title type='text'>Scientific Research?

So why did these chicken cells live so well and so long? Dr Carrel did this by placing the cells in a saline solution that was the perfect temperature, pH, and nutrient/mineral balance. He replaced this solution daily (cleaning away the toxic [acidic] wastes). Eventually, after 28 years the purpose of the experiment was achieved. The cells did not die of aging they simply stopped the experiment and Dr. Carrel concluded the following;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"The cell is immortal. It is merely the fluid in which it floats which degenerates.

Lang of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio and fellow investigators looked at data on asthma hospitalizations in Philadelphia from 1995 to 1999 and prescription rates for long-acting beta agonists and other asthma drugs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1997, guidelines were released that recommended adding long-acting beta agonists, such as salmeterol (Serevent) and formoterol (Foradil), to low-dose inhaled corticosteroids for patients whose asthma wasn't adequately controlled with the steroids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since then, however, several studies have linked long-acting beta agonists, LABA to increased risks of severe asthma attacks, asthma hospitalizations, and even death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The drugs are likely harmful, agreed Dr. Shelley Salpeter of Stanford University in California. She pointed out that both long-acting and short-acting beta agonists can cause the user to develop tolerance to the drug, which leads to worse reactions to asthma triggers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is clear" from her 2006 analysis of clinical trials, as well as other studies since then, that such drugs are linked with increases in asthma hospitalizations, life-threatening exacerbations, and even deaths from asthma, Dr. Salpeter continued.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real debate, Drs. Salpeter and Cates commented, is not whether long-acting beta agonists are risky. Today's controversy revolves around whether combining them with inhaled corticosteroids eliminates their risk. Recent data suggest that the combination is still more dangerous than corticosteroids alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study by Dr. Lang and his colleagues was &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;funded by an unrestricted grant from GlaxoSmithKline, which manufactures formulations of salmeterol alone and combined with inhaled corticosteroids.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;The report states that the company was not involved in designing the study, interpreting the data, or writing the manuscript.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****************************************&lt;br /&gt;Bills Comments: Note also that the  company's top selling drug is the asthma medication Advair, a combination of two other company products, Flovent a fast acting bronchodilator and Serevent a LABA. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Symbicort, another combination of a slow acting and fast acting agonist, is made by Astra Zenica and presumably since both drugs are in the same class, the above findings apply equally to both. Warning of Symbicort label: &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;WARNING&lt;/span&gt;: Long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonists (LABA), such as formoterol, one of the active ingredients in SYMBICORT, &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;increase the risk of asthma-related death.&lt;/span&gt; A placebo-controlled study with another LABA (salmeterol) showed an increase in asthma-related deaths in patients receiving salmeterol. This finding with salmeterol is considered a class effect of LABA, including formoterol. &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Available data from controlled clinical trials suggest that LABA increase the risk of asthma-related hospitalization in pediatric and adolescent patients&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;If you want to get rid of your asthma fast, naturally, with NO dangerous drugs&lt;br /&gt;heres is how: &lt;a href="http://I-Beat-Asthma.com"&gt;http://I-Beat-Asthma.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-4366752966691974861?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/4366752966691974861/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/08/asthma-drugs-advair-symbicort-safety.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/4366752966691974861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/4366752966691974861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/08/asthma-drugs-advair-symbicort-safety.html' title='Asthma Drugs, Advair, Symbicort, Safety Claims Questioned'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-6244576281083044371</id><published>2010-08-01T21:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-01T21:14:32.288-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hydrochloric acid alkaline buffer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stomach acid'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='acidosis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='alkaline water'/><title type='text'>Doesn't The Stomach Acid Destroy Alkaline Water?</title><content type='html'>We will let Sang Whang, holder of many degrees in science and engineering and a holder of many patents as well as the author of many books on alkalinity and the body, including, "Reverse Aging" answer that seeming paradox. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What happens to the alkaline water once it reaches the stomach, which is highly acidic'" People who have some knowledge of the human body, including medical doctors, ask this question. Let me answer that question once and for all to erase any doubts about the health benefits of alkaline water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to digest food and kill the kinds of bacteria and viruses that come with the food, the inside of our stomach is acidic. The stomach pH value is maintained at around 4. When we eat food and drink water, especially alkaline water, the pH value inside the stomach goes up. When this happens, there is a feedback mechanism in our stomach to detect this and commands the stomach wall to secrete more hydrochloric acid into the stomach to bring the pH value back to 4. So the stomach becomes acidic again. When we drink more alkaline water, more hydrochloric acid is secreted to maintain the stomach pH value. It seems like a losing battle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, when you understand how the stomach wall makes hydrochloric acid, your concerns will disappear. A pathologist friend of mine gave me the following explanation. There is no hydrochloric acid pouch in our body. If there were, it would burn a hole in our body. The cells in our stomach wall must produce it on an instantly-as-needed basis. The ingredients in the stomach cell that make hydrochloric acid (HCl) are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and sodium chloride (NaCl) or potassium chloride (KCl).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NaCl + H2O + CO2 = HCl + NaHCO3, or&lt;br /&gt;KCl + H2O + CO2 = HCl + KHCO3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we can see, the byproduct of making hydrochloric acid is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) or potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3), which goes into blood stream. &lt;em&gt;These bicarbonates are the alkaline buffers that neutralize excess acids in the blood&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;_____________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;Bill's Comments:&lt;br /&gt;Amazing, isn't it? The alkaline water stimulates the stomach to make more acid, to restore it to the proper Ph to compensate for the increase in alkalinity caused by the alkaline water. In so doing, a by product of the acid production in the stomach, where it is needed for proper digestion, is the production of sodium bicarbonate, the alkaline buffer that the body needs a store of to prevent or cure acidosis of the blood.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-6244576281083044371?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/6244576281083044371/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/08/doesnt-stomach-acid-destroy-alkaline.html#comment-form' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/6244576281083044371'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/6244576281083044371'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/08/doesnt-stomach-acid-destroy-alkaline.html' title='Doesn&apos;t The Stomach Acid Destroy Alkaline Water?'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-3880693710702818109</id><published>2010-07-31T01:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-12-31T12:06:01.040-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dr Zoltan Rona'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pure water'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='distilled water'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='healthy water'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reverse osmosis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Airola'/><title type='text'>Pure, Distilled or Reverse Osmosis Water is Dangerous to Drink</title><content type='html'>Dr. Zolton Rona, author of "The Joy of Health", states that "the longer one consumes distilled water, the more likely the development of mineral deficiencies and an acid state." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Paavo Airola, cancer expert and author of "How to Get Well" and "Cancer... Causes, Prevention and Healing" also reports that "long term consumption of distilled water eventually results in multiple mineral deficiencies." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reverse Osmosis and distilled water were originally developed for industrial use, photographic processeing and printing, specifically. This water was never intended for drinking purposes. In fact, I can remember seeing bottles of distilled water in stores labled, Not for Drinking. It was supposed to go into your steam iron to prevent clogging by minerals. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone came up with the bright idea to sell this dangerous water as a Healthy, "Pure Water" and the scam was on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problems with Pure water which, incidentally, does not exist anywhere on earth, hmm, are many. It is acidic, adding to the chronic acisdosis many of us suffer from. Acidosis promotes the growth of pathogens, bacteria and viruses, as well as being the preferred environment for the growth of cancer cells. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Free radicals, products of certain chemical reactions, are also facilitated by an acidic environment, producing dangerous oxidative damage to the body's cells. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pure water also leaches minerals from the body, contributing to the suppression of enzyme formation which negatively impacts every function of the body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a direct correlation between the consumption of soft water (distilled water is extremely soft) and the incidence of cardiovascular disease. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In contrast, we find that the longest lived people in the world, in Japan, Russia, South America, etc have in common, they share heavily mineralized, not mineral-free water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and dont fall for the TDS, Total Disolved Solids meter readings. They are really measuring the abcense  calcium and magnesium, two of the most vital minerals your body needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Zona admits that reverse osmosis water is slightly less harmful as it is neutral, IF minerals are added to it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, "The ideal water for the human body should be slightly alkaline and this requires the presence of minerals like calcium and magnesium."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Healthwise, there is no comparison between distilled and RO water, which at best are neutral and Ionized alkaline water. No hospital in the world uses distilled or even RO water to prevent amputations, cure MSRA and other antibiotic resistant infections, or to treat heart disease, cancer diabetes, etc.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-3880693710702818109?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/3880693710702818109/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/07/pure-distilled-or-reverse-osmosis-water.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/3880693710702818109'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/3880693710702818109'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/07/pure-distilled-or-reverse-osmosis-water.html' title='Pure, Distilled or Reverse Osmosis Water is Dangerous to Drink'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-8301475183247534808</id><published>2010-06-23T03:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-14T19:48:19.693-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='feces'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natural cures'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zelnorm'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='defecation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='constipation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='amatiza'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nutrients'/><title type='text'>Drugs for Constipation?</title><content type='html'>Constipation is one of the most frequent causes for people to visit their doctors. It is estimated that 1 in 3 Americans suffer from constipation at one time or another. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Constipation is defined as 3 or fewer bowel movements per week. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As usual, there are prescription drugs available to treat this constipation, or, in Med speak, &lt;em&gt;Chronic Idiopathic Constipation&lt;/em&gt;. Now, doesn't that sound more like a serious illness that requires serious medicine?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of these medicines, Zelnorm, has these friendly reminders included in the dosage instructions: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"You should not use this medication if you are allergic to tegaserod, or if you have a history of stroke or heart attack, high blood pressure, uncontrolled angina, high cholesterol or triglycerides, diabetes, depression, or anxiety. &lt;br /&gt;You also should not use Zelnorm if you smoke, if you are older than 55 years, if you are overweight, or if you have a history of suicidal thoughts or actions."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other than that, it was perfectly safe. However, it was pulled from the market in 2007 because of the frequency of heart attacks among its users!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another drug, Amitiza, is the current Big Pharma darling and why not, a monthly prescription is $358 at my local pharmacy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Constipation is not caused by a lack of Amatiza, Dulcolax or any other "Medicine."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It is caused by the lack of a simple, low cost nutrient from our diet.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.docstoc.com/docs/44513558/Natural-Constipation-Relief-Overnight-At-No-Cost!"&gt;Click Here to Discover a Natural remedy for chronic constipation that works in 24 hours and is Free!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: You may have something more serious than chronic constipation if you have any of these symptoms; new or worsening stomach pain, blood in your stools, ongoing diarrhea, severe stomach pain or cramps.

Obesity is reached when you are more than 30 lbs overweight. This is a national tragedy. The cost and suffering to these women, their families and the nation cannot even be quantified. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a reprint of some disturbing documentation on the subject.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Overweight Women Not Likely to Enjoy Healthy Old Age&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More likely headed to major chronic diseases such as cancer and coronary heart disease and poor quality of life&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sept. 30, 2009 - Women who put on weight as they approach middle-age could reduce their chances of enjoying a healthy old age by up to 80%, says new research in the British Medial Journal. The study suggests that women who have a high body mass index in middle age are significantly more likely to suffer from major chronic diseases such as cancer and coronary heart disease and poor quality of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Oscar Franco, Assistant Clinical Professor of Public Health at the University of Warwick Medical School collaborated on the paper with researchers from Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The research team found that for every 2lbs gained in weight since the age of 18, the odds of healthy survival into old age decreased by 5%. &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Therefore, a 40lb gain results in a 100% decrease in the chance of a healthy survival into old age!&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They also found that women who were overweight at the age of 18 and continued to gain weight as they grew older were &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;most&lt;/span&gt; at risk of developing a major chronic disease. The more weight gained, the greater the odds of developing a chronic disease compared to women of normal weight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The research team used the Nurses' Health Study, which has gathered data from more than 120,000 female registered nurses living in 11 US states since 1976. Follow-up questionnaires have been sent out every two years to update information on disease incidence and lifestyle factors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Franco said those study participants who had reached the age of 70 and were free of major chronic disease, had no major impairment of cognitive function and no major limitation of physical function were considered as examples of 'successful aging'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In summary,� he said, �this study provides new evidence that obesity at mid-life is a strong risk factor predicting a worse probability of successful survival among older women. In addition, our data suggest that maintenance of healthy weight throughout adulthood may be vital to optimal overall health at older ages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;�Given that more and more people are surviving to older ages and, at the same time, gaining weight, our results may be particularly important with respect to clinical or public health interventions." &lt;br /&gt;************************************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;Bill's comments&lt;br /&gt;************************************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;These findings no doubt equally apply to men although the fact remains that there are probably 40% more obese women then there are men, hence the direction of this article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obesity is easily overcome by both sexes with knowledge. The cause of our obesity epidemic is the Standard American Diet (SAD). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It contains far to many acid producing foods like sugar, dairy, grains and excessive protein and not enough water, plain water, not iced tea or coke. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Historically, man's diet consisted of vegetables, fruits and some protein (a 200 lb man only needs 1/4 pound per day of protein). His consumption of sugar averaged 4 lbs per year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His genes were set to deal with the foods that he ate in the beginning and in the quantities likely to be encountered in daily life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, grains, which as I mentioned were not part of man's original diet, make up the bulk of our diet, followed closely by sugar. Sugar consumption is now approaching 1/2 lb per day per person. Some teenagers get 40% or more of their daily calories from sugar, mostly from the 700 cans of soda they consume on average!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This avalanche of foods that we were never meant to consume disrupts our body's metabolism. Insulin constantly floods our system, attempting to deal with the onslaught of carbohydrates, the excess of which is stored as fat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact that very few of us replaces the 2.5 Qts of water we lose every 24 hours by respiration, elimination and perspiration, means that we are also chronically dehydrated which overwhelms the body's mandated acid/alkaline balance. This situation, called acidosis is potentially deadly. One of the body's defense mechanisms is to isolate excess acid by entombing it in unsightly blobs of fat, usually on the thighs, buttocks and abdomen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as obesity and its associated diseases are caused by a toxic diet, so can they be cured with adequate nutrition. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To receive a free copy of our Complete Water Protocol, which will give you the complete regimen for losing weight and treating degenerative &lt;a href="http://waterprotocol.info"&gt;diseases nutritionally, click here. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a Free Consultation, contact Bill Young, Nutritional Therapist:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NutritionTherapyCoach@gmail.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-8650960239341743503?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/8650960239341743503/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/05/obese-women-sicker-die-sooner.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/8650960239341743503'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/8650960239341743503'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/05/obese-women-sicker-die-sooner.html' title='Obese Women Are Sicker, And Die Sooner!'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TAP_Yt4knbI/AAAAAAAAARM/b-TZOQcxeRA/s72-c/Fat5.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-3136361670351944327</id><published>2010-05-28T09:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-28T09:36:37.813-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dr fred baughman'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='childhood'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drug scams'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='parenting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Big Pharma'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ADHD'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>ADHD is a sophisticated, diabolical marketing ploy by the Bankers and Backers of Big Pharma!

This is how it works and what you can do about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the high acid, low oxygen environment produced in our bodies by the Standard American Diet. of a low Ph value in the blood,  certain enzymes in the mitochondria of the cells, which are the furnaces where oxygen is burned and concerted to energy for the cell break down or become denatured. This is enough to kill most cells, but certain cells for reasons that are not clear, revert to a primitive nutritional program to sustain themselves. They produce energy by converting glucose to energy via fermentation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the by products of fermentation is lactic acid. This acid adds to the current acid load and further lowers the cell pH and destroys the ability of DNA and RNA to control cell division and the cells begin to multiply unchecked. In other words, become cancerous. The acid simultaneously causes intense local pain. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Normally, your cells are protected by your immune system; a well functioning immune system is the best defense against the formation of cancer cells. It detects the newly minted cancer cells and destroys them immediately. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, acidosis impacts the immune system also, weakening it and cancer cells can grow and thrive. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that in areas of the world where the water is hexagonally structured and highly alkaline; the Caucus mountains in Russia, the Hunza area of Pakistan, Lourdes, France, there is virtually no cancer among the local people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1933, Dr Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel Prize for demonstrating that cancer cells died when the Ph of the blood was raised, made more alkaline, reversing the acidic nature of the blood. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vegetables and fruit, unlike most other foods; meat, dairy, grains, etc. tend to make the body more alkaline as well. Most other foods, meat, dairy, grains, processed foods, etc tend to increase the acidity of the body. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question then, is there a way you can fight and even halt cancer by making your body more alkaline?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, there is!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listen to the story of how Jimmy, a 56 year old man diagnosed with Stage 4 Prostate cancer, was given 3 weeks to live, after his cancer specialist had exhausted his arsenal of radiation and chemotherapy, was cured in a matter of weeks, by an Alkaline Protocol, based on water and an alkaline diet. &lt;a href="http://I-Beat-Cancer.com"&gt;Beat Cancer with Alkaline Nutrition!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bill Young, Nutrition Therapy Coach&lt;br /&gt;646-961-3818&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-1238537699983216783?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/1238537699983216783/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/05/alkalinity-and-cancer.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/1238537699983216783'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/1238537699983216783'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/05/alkalinity-and-cancer.html' title='Alkalinity And Cancer'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-6906377503154682500</id><published>2010-04-30T04:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-06T18:36:01.580-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='aging'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='anti oxidants'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oxidation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nutriton'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='free radicals'/><title type='text'>Anti Aging Effects of Antioxidants</title><content type='html'>Researchers have found a strong link between longevity and antioxidants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In aging studies, researchers discovered mammals that produce the highest levels of antioxidants have the longest lifespans. And when they genetically engineered fruit flies to have double their normal amount of antioxidants, the fruit flies lived twice as long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One way to measure the antioxidant power of a liquid is called its ORP value, its Oxidation Reduction Potential. (Another expression of antioxidant capability is called its Redux potential. We will use ORP in this article.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ORP values are expressed in millivolts, from high to low with the lower readings indicating the more powerful antioxidant. In fact, a substance with a high ORP is an oxidant, a danger to your body which will cause disease and decrease your lifespan. Actually, it is the oxidation damage done to the body by free radicals, damaged atoms, that results in death from atomic radiation exposure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the highest ORP substances you can put in your body is soda. Soda generally has ORP values in the 2-400 Millivolt range.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good antioxidant like vitamin C, on the other hand has an ORP of around -150 Millivolts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Antioxidants come from two sources. Your body makes its own antioxidants and you get them from your diet, mainly from fruits and vegetables.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But your body's production of antioxidants drop off as you age, leading to a build-up of free radicals which oxidize your cells and cause aging, just the same way they turn an apple slice brown when exposed to the oxidative forces of air. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here’s something else: Levels of antioxidants vary by as much as 50% depending on the person. That may be why some people age quickly and why others live to a ripe old age without any problems. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is because the damage done by free radicals, to the DNA of cells, to the collagen of the skin, to the arteries, to the nerves, etc. etc. is mitigated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can you make sure you are protected from free radical damage?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Download this free, Nutrition Handbook, to discover how to use nutrition to protect yourself and your family from the ravages of free radical oxidation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://WaterProtocol.Info"&gt;The Complete Water Protocol.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-6906377503154682500?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/6906377503154682500/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/04/anti-aging-effects-of-antioxidants.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/6906377503154682500'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/6906377503154682500'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/04/anti-aging-effects-of-antioxidants.html' title='Anti Aging Effects of Antioxidants'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-5089810847896240128</id><published>2010-04-21T20:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-21T21:36:59.967-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fried chcken'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Susan G Komen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cancer'/><title type='text'>Fried Chicken Cures Cancer!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/S8_FKAqjLyI/AAAAAAAAAO4/6wODQYeBkuE/s1600/KFC-PinkChickenBuckets.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/S8_FKAqjLyI/AAAAAAAAAO4/6wODQYeBkuE/s320/KFC-PinkChickenBuckets.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462801648791531298" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel sick! This is NOT a JOKE. The Susan G Komen Foundation for the Cure of Cancer has just formed a joint (money making!) venture to push Kentucky Fried Chicken as a Cure for Cancer!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the ultimate proof to my heretofore controversial stance that disease support groups  are just that, &lt;strong&gt;groups that support a given disease!&lt;/strong&gt; Let's face it, what would happen to the Amercan Diabetes Association if diabetes was cured? What about the American Heart Association if heart disease was cured?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These Feel Good, Pimp organizations are in cahoots with Big Pharma and the Medical Maffia. They are controlled by them, via financial support and linked Board Memberships. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They suck millions of dollars each year from the trusting victims of the "supported" disease, their families and friends. They use this money to sustain themselves and to act as "beards" for Big Pharma and the Medical Maffia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The contributions they make to "medical research" support the same conventional wisdom that produces dangerous, expensive drugs that Never Cure the target disease! Did you ever notice that? "&lt;a href="http://WaterCuresDrugsKill.com"&gt;See Water Cures, Drugs Kill&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, the medical truth about cancer and fried chicken?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where do I start?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fried chicken is cooked in heated vegetable oil, which produces tons of artery and cell damaging free radicals. These are "vampire" molecules that damage and destroy healthy cells all over the body. These are the Oxidants that Antioxidants fight. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meats and carbohydrates (the chicken and flour) also produce acid residue in the body, causing over acidity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When over acidic blood and/or free radicals attack arteries, the body sends in "Bad" or LDL cholesterol which forms a "bandage" over the damaged area. (Yes, Bad cholesterol can save your life!)The more damage, the more cholesterol deposited until the cholesterol deposits (plaque)get so thick that they constrict the lumen or diameter of the blood vessel raising the pressure needed to force the blood through the constriction (called high blood pressure.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The danger is that with continued consumption of fried foods, the thickened, acidi blood will generate so much plaque that it will totally block the artery or, worst, fracture and send a clot to large in one of the smaller arteries, causing an infarction or heart attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the heart attack scenario is playing out, stage left, cancer is preparing to make a dramatic entrance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The combination of acidic blood and free radicals is a perfect 1/2 punch leading to cancer!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Either one, but especially free radicals can attack the DNA of cells, causing them to reproduce damaged offspring cells. Under the right circumstances, such as low blood PH, (too much acid in the blood) these damaged cells grow uncontrollably (cancer!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interestingly, neither Susan G Komen nor their cohorts in Big Pharma or the Medical Maffia has seen fit to educate the medical profession or the public of the Nobel Prize winning work of Dr Otto Warburg in 1933. What did he win the Prize for? Simply for proving that cancers cells die or go into remission when the PH of the blood goes from acid to normal!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And how is the tremendous feat of turning the blood from acid to normal (slightly alkaline) accomplished? What Miracle Drugs or Expensive sophisticated medical technology is required?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By improving your diet! Listen to a fascinating interview I did with Jimmy. Jimmy was given 3 weeks to live by his doctors. They had done everything to save him, chemo radiation, etc. but his Stage 4 Prostate cancer was winning the battle and was killing him.

When a certain Very wealthy aluminum magnate was faced with the cost of disposing of thousands of tons of the poison, he sold it as a pesticide, which it still is today, killing, roaches, ants, mice and rats. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Faced with an even greater pile of the dangerous waste a few years later, the magnate came up with a scheme and enlisted the aid of his Congressman to sell the idea that fluoride would stop tooth decay, especially among young children and should be put in every municipal water supply, which it was. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Osmunson, the dentist explains that fluoride is actually very dangerous and causes tooth destruction, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;especially among young children!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Start a petition going in your area, send your neighbors to this blog, get a movement going to demand fluoride be taken out of your local water supply!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jEaYyfWJcdc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jEaYyfWJcdc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-1369280849583677489?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/1369280849583677489/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/03/dentist-warning-of-fluoride-dangers.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/1369280849583677489'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/1369280849583677489'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/03/dentist-warning-of-fluoride-dangers.html' title='Dentist Warning of Fluoride Dangers!'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-728154778978191818</id><published>2010-03-21T10:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-21T10:48:48.201-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='antioxidants'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='breast cancer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='high blood pressure'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ldl'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='free radicals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='grape seed extract'/><title type='text'>UCLA Study Reveals Amazing Benefits of Grape Seed Extract!</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;UC Davis study shows grape seed extract may be effective in reducing blood pressure&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Promising results prompt second human clinical study Grape seed extract lowered the blood pressure of patients who participated in a UC Davis study of the benefits of the supplement on people with high blood pressure. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conducted by UC Davis cardiovascular researchers, the study was the first human clinical trial to assess the effect of grape seed extract on people with metabolic syndrome, a combination of risk factors that increase the risk for heart disease, including high blood pressure, excess abdominal body weight, high blood cholesterol fats and high blood sugar. The researchers will present the results at the American Chemical Society Meeting and Exposition on March 26 in Atlanta, and at the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology's 2006 meeting in San Francisco April 2. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is estimated that 40 percent of American adults, or 50 million people, have metabolic syndrome. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The one-month study involved 24 male and female patients diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. The patients were divided into three groups of eight. The first group received a placebo, while the second and third groups received 150 milligrams and 300 milligrams, respectively, of a new grape seed extract. All participants' blood pressure was automatically measured and recorded for 12 hours after ingestion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Participants in the two groups receiving grape seed extract experienced an equal degree of reduced blood pressure. The average drop in systolic pressure was 12 millimeters. The average drop in diastolic pressure was 8 millimeters," said the study's lead researcher, C. Tissa Kappagoda, professor of cardiovascular medicine and director of the Preventive Cardiology Program at UC Davis. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kappagoda adds that the group taking 300 milligrams of grape seed extract also had reduced serum oxidized LDL cholesterol levels. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Generally, the higher their initial oxidized LDL level was, the greater the drop by the end of the study," he said. The extract has received the GRAS (generally recognized as safe) certification from the FDA and has no known side effects. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;_________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;Wow! These reductions of blood pressure were essentially equal to the effect of many dangerous prescription drugs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the research done by Dr Joe Mercola, along with their benefits for blood pressure and cholesterol, grape seeds are also known to be a powerful antioxidant. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Antioxidant protection helps protect your body from premature aging, disease and decay. Antioxidants are needed to neutralize free radicals, which play a major role in the development of degenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, strokes and aging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The antioxidant capacity of grape seed extract comes from proanthocyanidins. Scientific studies have shown that the antioxidant power of proanthocyanidins is 20 times stronger than vitamin C and 50 times stronger than vitamin E.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another incredible benefit of grape seeds are their cancer fighting ability. &lt;br /&gt;Chemicals found in grape seeds inhibited the growth of colorectal tumors in both cell cultures and in mice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grape seed extract has already been demonstrated to have anti-cancer effects on other tumor types, as well. The extract can "freeze" cancer cells, preventing them from growing and in some cases, causes the cancer cells to self destruct. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not all grape seed extract is equal. Your best bet is to find a grape seed extract combined with other natural antioxidants. synergy in these combinations produces a greater antioxidant effect than the individual components alone.

Rona MD MSc&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During nearly 19 years of clinical practice I have had the opportunity to observe the health effects of drinking different types of water. Most of you would agree that drinking unfiltered tap water could be hazardous to your health because of things like parasites, chlorine, fluoride and dioxins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many health fanatics, however, are often surprised to hear me say that drinking distilled water on a regular, daily basis is potentially dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paavo Airola wrote about the dangers of distilled water in the 1970's when it first became a fad with the health food crowd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distillation is the process in which water is boiled, evaporated and the vapor condensed. Distilled water is free of dissolved minerals and, because of this, has the special property of being able to actively absorb toxic substances from the body and eliminate them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Studies validate the benefits of drinking distilled water when one is seeking to cleanse or detoxify the system for short periods of time (a few weeks at a time).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fasting using distilled water can be dangerous because of the rapid loss of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) and trace minerals like magnesium, deficiencies of which can cause heart beat irregularities and high blood pressure. Cooking foods in distilled water pulls the minerals out of them and lowers their nutrient value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distilled water is an active absorber and when it comes into contact with air, it absorbs carbon dioxide, making it acidic. The more distilled water a person drinks, the higher the body acidity becomes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, "Distilled water, being essentially mineral-free, is very aggressive, in that it tends to dissolve substances with which it is in contact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notably, carbon dioxide from the air is rapidly absorbed, making the water acidic and even more aggressive. Many metals are dissolved by distilled water."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most toxic commercial beverages that people consume (i.e. cola beverages and other soft drinks) are made from distilled water. Studies have consistently shown that heavy consumers of soft drinks (with or without sugar) spill huge amounts of calcium, magnesium and other trace minerals into the urine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The more mineral loss, the greater the risk for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, hypothyroidism, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure and a long list of degenerative diseases generally associated with premature aging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A growing number of health care practitioners and scientists from around the world have been advocating the theory that aging and disease is the direct result of the accumulation of acid waste products in the body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a great deal of scientific documentation that supports such a theory. A poor diet may be partially to blame for the waste accumulation. Meats, sugar, white flour products, fried foods, soft drinks, processed foods, alcohol, dairy products and other junk foods cause the body to become more acidic. Stress, whether mental or physical can lead to acid deposits in the body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a correlation between the consumption of soft water (distilled water is extremely soft) and the incidence of cardiovascular disease. Cells, tissues and organs do not like to be dipped in acid and will do anything to buffer this acidity including the removal of minerals from the skeleton and the manufacture of bicarbonate in the blood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The longer one drinks distilled water, the more likely the development of mineral deficiencies and an acid state. I have done well over 3000 mineral evaluations using a combination of blood, urine and hair tests in my practice. Almost without exception, people who consume distilled water exclusively, eventually develop multiple mineral deficiencies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who supplement their distilled water intake with trace minerals are not as deficient but still not as adequately nourished in minerals as their non-distilled water drinking counterparts even after several years of mineral supplementation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ideal water for the human body should be alkaline and this requires the presence of minerals like calcium and magnesium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distilled water tends to be acidic and can only be recommended as a way of drawing poisons out of the body. Once this is accomplished, the continued drinking of distilled water is a bad idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... Disease and early death is more likely to be seen with the long term drinking of distilled water. Avoid it except in special circumstances.What Chemicals do Reverse Osmosis and Distillation Remove/Reduce?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reverse osmosis will generally remove any molecular compounds smaller in size than water molecules. Such compounds include salt, manganese, iron, fluoride, lead, and calcium (Binnie et al, 2002). Reverse osmosis is extremely efficient at stripping minerals from water, and it is highly valued as a water purification process in the printing industry, in which mineral-free water must be used.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although reverse osmosis supplies useful, mineral-free water for printing purposes, it does not provide the healthiest drinking water. Reverse osmosis will remove several mineral and chemical materials from water, including salt, fluoride, lead, manganese, iron, and calcium. Reverse osmosis, because it removes minerals according to physical size, is non-selective in its removal of dangerous and beneficial minerals. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly, mineral contaminants like salt, fluoride, and lead should be removed from drinking water, but minerals like iron and manganese, because they are essential to natural body processes and important components of drinking water, should be left in that water. Iron builds and maintains healthy red blood cells while manganese helps in regulating protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism. Manganese, like calcium, is also an essential component in the building of bones and the clotting of blood. Though many foods contain these minerals, drinking water can and should be a major source for their intake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Distillation&lt;/span&gt; removes chemicals similar to those removed by reverse osmosis, but in a different manner. Distillation, through its water evaporation process, will remove any chemicals or organic materials with higher boiling points than water. Such chemicals and organic materials with higher boiling points include bacteria, minerals, trace amounts of metals, many volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), and nitrate (Binnie et al, 2002). Clearly, distillation is valuable in its removal of the potentially deadly VOCs and nitrate. It strips water of nearly all of its natural minerals, though. Many of the minerals the distillation process removes are vital to the body’s natural processes. The distillation process is not selective in its removal of minerals, and it strips water of both dangerous and valuable mineral compounds.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-1551182429182460333?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/1551182429182460333/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/03/dangers-of-distilled-and-reverse.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/1551182429182460333'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/1551182429182460333'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/03/dangers-of-distilled-and-reverse.html' title='Dangers of Distilled and Reverse Osmosis Water!'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-3136685781063963180</id><published>2010-03-18T05:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-18T05:47:38.224-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Habinaro oil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stroke'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cayenne pepper'/><title type='text'>Treat A Stroke With Hot Pepper!</title><content type='html'>05/05/2009: Karen from Newport, Oregon, USA. replies: "Vijay, must tell you that my mom at 85 yrs had a stroke &amp; was "gone" by the time I got her out of the bathroom &amp; into the bed.

In that analysis of 42 trials, the use of rosiglitazone was associated with a 43% increased risk of MI and a borderline but statistically insignificant 64% increase in risk of cardiovascular death. (Note, other sources claim that over 900 diabetics Avandia patients died in the 4th Quarter of 2009 of heart attacks!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meeting in 2007, just a week before his meta-analysis was to be published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), Dr David Nathan (Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, secretly recorded the meeting &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;out of fears he would face pressure from the company.&lt;/span&gt; In the taped conversation, Nissen, who shared the recording with the Times, said GlaxoSmithKline wanted him not to publish his study and wait for the results of the Rosiglitazone Evaluated for Cardiac Outcomes and Regulation of Glycemia in Diabetes (RECORD) trial instead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the Times article, Dr Ronald Krall, the company's chief medical officer, almost predicts the final results of that study, even though the results should not have been known at the time. At one point, he asks Nissen what he would do if, hypothetically, RECORD showed a hazard ratio of 1.12, which was very close to the 1.11 hazard ratio for hospitalizations or death from cardiovascular causes that RECORD did show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Krall denies knowing the results of RECORD, saying he did not learn of them until later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Equally strange, the meeting played out with &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;GlaxoSmithKline having inappropriately seen the full results of Nissen's yet-unpublished meta-analysis, &lt;/span&gt;although neither party discussed the results. As reported previously, &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Dr Steven Haffner (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio), a peer reviewer for the NEJM meta-analysis,leaked the paper to the company weeks ahead of publication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The NYT article also notes that in the Senate report, GlaxoSmithKline is taken to task by Congress for threatening researchers critical of the drug's safety profile. For example, the company complained to the supervisors of Dr John Buse (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill), a researcher who also gave presentations warning of rosiglitazone's risks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GSK's reaction to the lasted study linking Avandia with death and heart trouble was to issue a Press Release saying that the study's findings were unscientific. They suggested a conclusive study, a huge, randomized study be undertaken to prove the drugs safety. However, it would not be concluded until 2020, which would give them time to pull Billions and Billions of additional profits from the suspect drug and perhaps kill thousands and thousands more.&lt;br /&gt;************************************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;Bill's Comments&lt;br /&gt;************************************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;So much for the Scientific Method!

Food and diet are important components of Ayurvedic practice, and so there is a heavy reliance on treatments based on herbs and plants, oils (such as sesame oil), common spices (such as turmeric), and other naturally occurring substances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Currently, some 5,000 products are included in the "pharmacy" of Ayurvedic treatments.  Historically, plant compounds have been grouped into categories according to their effects.  For example, some compounds are thought to heal, promote vitality, or relieve pain.  The compounds are described in many texts prepared through national medical agencies in India.  The following are examples of commonly used herbs:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      The spice turmeric has been used for various diseases and conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, and wound healing.&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      An extract from the resin from a tropical shrub (Commiphora mukul, or guggul) has been used for a variety of illnesses.  In recent years, there has been research interest in its use to lower cholesterol.&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      The essential oil extracted from Holy Basil is used as counteract depression and mental stress. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you would like more information on which herbs might benefit your unique situation, please click here to visit an Ayurvedic information site: &lt;a href="http://tryayurvedic.info"&gt;Ayurveda Herbs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-751535326659234647?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/751535326659234647/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/02/ayurveda-relies-heavily-on-herbs.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/751535326659234647'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/751535326659234647'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/02/ayurveda-relies-heavily-on-herbs.html' title='Ayurveda Relies Heavily on Herbs'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/S3t_tOwhEBI/AAAAAAAAAKk/zlUslBrThJg/s72-c/ayurvedatall.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-6141937965765497035</id><published>2010-02-16T19:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-16T19:54:06.186-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vegetables'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Type 2 diabetes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='manesium'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='magnesium rich foods'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='American Diabetes Association'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Harvard'/><title type='text'>Harvard Study Links Magnesium Rich Foods and Decreased Diabetic Risk</title><content type='html'>A December 2003 study in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, also performed by Harvard scientists, speculated that “higher dietary magnesium intake may reduce the risk of developing type II diabetes” because women with higher magnesium consumption tended to have greater insulin sensitivity.

The findings were not encouraging for fans of fast food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We showed that a small McDonald’s meal resulted in inflammation and oxidative stress at a cellular, molecular level,” says Dr. Dandona. The markers Dr. Dandona and his team used to establish the presence of inflammation and oxidative stress are the same ones the body produces when it is seriously hurt. “In the cells, we look at nuclear factor kB (NF-kappa B), which is the orchestrator of inflammation. When we get infections, it is NF-kappa B that gets stimulated,” he explains. “We were shocked to find that what infections do, food does, too.” Disturbingly, the post-meal inflammatory reaction did not resolve quickly — study subjects still showed signs of inflammation five hours after eating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Dandona’s research also found that people with obesity who already had a basic level of inflammation and oxidative stress had a worse reaction than people of normal weight when challenged with a fast-food meal. “Sure enough, they start from higher levels of inflammation, they achieve a much higher level, and the inflammation is much more prolonged.” The oxidative and inflammatory stress observed with meals probably contributes to atherosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paresh Dandona, MD, Director of the Diabetes-Endocrinology Center of Western New York and Chief of the Division of Endocrinology at the Medical School of the State University of New York at Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;************************************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;Bill's Comments&lt;br /&gt;************************************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There you have it.

Myelin is insulation that protects your nerve endings and allows them to communicate with one another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About 30% of People on Metformin exhibit a deficiency of B12, as Metformin interferes with the body's ability to extract the vitamin from food in the lower intestine.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additionally, those who take antacid medication for acid reflux, heart burn, etc. also suffer B12 deficiency because of insufficient production of stomach acid, which is needed to break food down to release B12.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vegetarians too are chronically B12 deficient because vegetables do not contain enough B12, compared to animal products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blindness, peripheral neuropathy, heart and mental problems have been linked to B12 deficiency. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, as you age, your digestive tract releases less hypocloric acid which means less efficient digestion and subsequent retrieval of B12 and other nutrients from food.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-172214736162878362?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/172214736162878362/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/02/diabetics-vegetarians-in-danger-of.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/172214736162878362'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/172214736162878362'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2010/02/diabetics-vegetarians-in-danger-of.html' title='Diabetics, Vegetarians in Danger of Blindness, Nerve Damage From Medicine and Diet'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-3958491298241445845</id><published>2010-01-20T11:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-20T11:28:26.782-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dr Zoltan Rona'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='minerals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='distilled water'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='alkaline water'/><title type='text'>Distilled Water? Death Water!</title><content type='html'>Early Death Comes From Drinking Distilled Water    by Dr Zoltan P. Rona&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During nearly 19 years of clinical practice I have had the opportunity to observe the health effects of drinking different types of water. Most of you would agree that drinking unfiltered tap water could be hazardous to your health because of things like parasites, chlorine, fluoride and dioxins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many health fanatics, however, are often surprised to hear me say that drinking distilled water on a regular, daily basis is potentially dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paavo Airola wrote about the dangers of distilled water in the 1970's when it first became a fad with the health food crowd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distillation is the process in which water is boiled, evaporated and the vapor condensed. Distilled water is free of dissolved minerals and, because of this, has the special property of being able to actively absorb toxic substances from the body and eliminate them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Studies validate the benefits of drinking distilled water when one is seeking to cleanse or detoxify the system for short periods of time (a few weeks at a time).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fasting using distilled water can be dangerous because of the rapid loss of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) and trace minerals like magnesium, deficiencies of which can cause heart beat irregularities and high blood pressure. Cooking foods in distilled water pulls the minerals out of them and lowers their nutrient value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distilled water is an active absorber and when it comes into contact with air, it absorbs carbon dioxide, making it acidic. The more distilled water a person drinks, the higher the body acidity becomes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, "Distilled water, being essentially mineral-free, is very aggressive, in that it tends to dissolve substances with which it is in contact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notably, carbon dioxide from the air is rapidly absorbed, making the water acidic and even more aggressive. Many metals are dissolved by distilled water."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most toxic commercial beverages that people consume (i.e. cola beverages and other soft drinks) are made from distilled water. Studies have consistently shown that heavy consumers of soft drinks (with or without sugar) spill huge amounts of calcium, magnesium and other trace minerals into the urine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The more mineral loss, the greater the risk for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, hypothyroidism, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure and a long list of degenerative diseases generally associated with premature aging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A growing number of health care practitioners and scientists from around the world have been advocating the theory that aging and disease is the direct result of the accumulation of acid waste products in the body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a great deal of scientific documentation that supports such a theory. A poor diet may be partially to blame for the waste accumulation. Meats, sugar, white flour products, fried foods, soft drinks, processed foods, alcohol, dairy products and other junk foods cause the body to become more acidic. Stress, whether mental or physical can lead to acid deposits in the body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a correlation between the consumption of soft water (distilled water is extremely soft) and the incidence of cardiovascular disease. Cells, tissues and organs do not like to be dipped in acid and will do anything to buffer this acidity including the removal of minerals from the skeleton and the manufacture of bicarbonate in the blood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The longer one drinks distilled water, the more likely the development of mineral deficiencies and an acid state. I have done well over 3000 mineral evaluations using a combination of blood, urine and hair tests in my practice. Almost without exception, people who consume distilled water exclusively, eventually develop multiple mineral deficiencies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who supplement their distilled water intake with trace minerals are not as deficient but still not as adequately nourished in minerals as their non-distilled water drinking counterparts even after several years of mineral supplementation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;The ideal water for the human body should be alkaline and this requires the presence of minerals like calcium and magnesium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distilled water tends to be acidic and can only be recommended as a way of drawing poisons out of the body. Once this is accomplished, the continued drinking of distilled water is a bad idea. Disease and early death is more likely to be seen with the long term drinking of distilled water. Avoid it except in special circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://alkalizeformaximumlife.blogspot.com/"&gt;Click here for more on Alkaline Water!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zoltan P.

The federal government does have health guidelines for others, but 49 of these contaminants have been found in one place or another at levels above those guidelines, polluting the tap water for 53.6 million Americans. The government has not set a single new drinking water standard since 2001.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Water utilities spend 19 times more on water treatment chemicals every year than the federal government invests in protecting lakes and rivers from pollution in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Based on these data, EWG believes the federal government has a responsibility to do a national assessment of drinking water quality. It should establish new safety standards, set priorities for pollution prevention projects, and tell consumers about the full range of pollutants in their water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because it has not, EWG launched a 3-year project to create the largest drinking water quality database in existence.

I cured my Type 2 diabetes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, the ADA is in league with Big Pharma and the AMA. They all profit from making sure that people suffering from chronic illnesses remain dependent on drugs to prolong a life of misery, never being cured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Batmanghelidj was a gastroenterologist who gave his life proving that most chronic diseases were caused by dehydration of the body's cells. Despite published papers and acclaim from other doctors and health care professionals, Big Pharma, the AMA and the disease associations, (diseased pimps), were able to marginalize him and his work, before he died under mysterious circumstances in a US hospital of "complications of pneumonia." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will be amazed and angered when you read his books. He finally realized that he would get nowhere thru established medical channels and wrote a series of books to explain to the layman that they were being victimized by the Medical Mafia and how they could cure themselves. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My father died a horrible death from diabetes, my mother died from colon cancer, my baby sister died from lupus: Dr Batmanghelidij cured all of these diseases. Dr Batmanghelidj anticipated his own death, saying in his last book, "I am surprised that I am still alive!" considering the underhand tactics of Big Pharma and the rest of the Medical Mafia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He implored us to spread the word about his work so that we could end the reign of terror visited upon us by Big Pharma. I have dedicated my life to helping spread the knowledge of this great man. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read his books, "Water Cures, Drugs Kill" "ABC of Asthma, Allergies and Lupus" and "The Body's Many Cries for Water" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have started a study group in which we explore the doctor's work and how to apply his healing methods to ourselves. I also tell my story of how I cured my &lt;br /&gt;Type 2 diabetes and my lifelong asthma using his water protocol. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can participate in my study group.

If a scan is recommended by a doctor, get a 2nd or 3rd opinion. It is possible that your doctor owns or has an investment in the location that does the scanning. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you must undergo a CAT Scan or have undergone one recently, overload yourself with antioxidants. THey will help protect you from cancer and death from free radicals. Use Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamins E D and C. Check with your alternative health provider, chiropractor, naturopath etc. Tell them you need highest safe doses to ward off radiation exposure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, whatever your ailment, you can prevent, control or cure it with an alkaline lifestyle.

type='html'>Paresh Dandona, MD, Director of the Diabetes-Endocrinology Center of Western New York and Chief of the Division of Endocrinology at the Medical School of the State University of New York at Buffalo, showed that a small McDonald’s meal, 900 calories, resulted in inflammation and oxidative stress at a cellular, molecular level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The markers Dr. Dandona and his team used to establish the presence of inflammation and oxidative stress are the same ones the body produces when it is seriously hurt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“In the cells, we look at nuclear factor kB (NF-kappa B), which is the orchestrator of inflammation. When we get infections, it is NF-kappa B that gets stimulated,” he explains. “We were shocked to find that what infections do, food does, too.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disturbingly, the post-meal inflammatory reaction did not resolve quickly — study subjects still showed signs of inflammation five hours after eating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Dandona’s research also found that people with obesity who already had a basic level of inflammation and oxidative stress had a worse reaction than people of normal weight when challenged with a fast-food meal. “Sure enough, they start from higher levels of inflammation, they achieve a much higher level, and the inflammation is much more prolonged.” The oxidative and inflammatory stress observed with meals probably contributes to atherosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the good news: Some foods may protect against inflammation. Dr. Dandona and his team tested a portion of orange juice containing 300 calories against an amount of glucose containing 300 calories and found that while the glucose caused inflammation, the orange juice did not, despite the fact that it, too, is pure carbohydrate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their next experiment investigated what happened when subjects drank orange juice with a small McDonald’s meal. “And guess what: Orange juice neutralizes inflammation. To me, that is one of the most amazing findings in the field of nutrition today,” says Dr. Dandona. “On the one hand you have all these terrible things that cause inflammation, but if you take a certain amount of orange juice, it balances things off. That’s really remarkable.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Part of the reason orange juice and glucose have a different impact on inflammation may be due to the nature of the type of carbohydrate: The sugar in orange juice is half fructose, and fructose is noninflammatory. But what would cause it to be anti-inflammatory? “The secret is probably in agents called flavonoids, which are what gives orange juice its yellow color,” says Dr. Dandona. “And two major flavonoids are hesperetin and naringenin, which have shown in the test tube to suppress free-radical formation and to be anti-inflammatory. Chances are that the secret is in these flavonoids.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***********************************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;Bill's Comments&lt;br /&gt;***********************************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;Wow! What a Bombshell! Why haven't we heard about this before? The doctor's work also showed that consuming fat, the other major component of a McDonald's meal, also produced free radicals. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Dandona's research also showed that antioxidants in food, such as the flavonoids in the orange juice, can and do protect the body against free radical damage. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want to avoid illness and disease?

Researchers found that in the decades following treatment, &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;those men who received any form of chemotherapy were significantly more likely to be experiencing long-term negative side-effects as a result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the chemotherapy group, 39 percent of men reported Raynaud-like phenomena, 29 percent reported paresthesias in the hands or feet, 21 percent reported hearing impairment, and 22 percent reported tinnitus symptoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marianne Brydoy, M.D., from Haukeland University's Department of Oncology in Norway, conducted the study with the help of her colleagues to verify the correlation between high rates of long-term neurological damage and chemotherapy.

Dho!&lt;br /&gt;What an misrepresentation! Chemotherapy is PROFIT! It is estimated that up to 75% of an oncologist's income comes from commissions, markups, kickbacks your friendly cancer doc receives on the Chemo he peddles, the more chemo he prescribes, the more money he makes and the sicker you become! Great system. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is why Dr Batmanghelidj could make little headway with his remarkable experiments and thousands of successful outcomes for patients treated with his remarkable water protocol, with the Medical Maffia!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is why Dr Batmanghelidj had to die. That is why we must all band together to spread the news of his great work. Tell all your friends and relatives suffering from any chronic, degenerative disease, cancer, asthma, diabetes, hypertension, etc. That help and possibly cure is only as far away as this link. Listen as I interview the Father of a 17 year old, lifelong asthmatic who had to use her inhaler 3 times per day and who missed 3/4 of her school term because her asthma was so bad.

Come join one of our nationwide Study Groups we organized around the incredible, ground breaking work of the late Dr Batmanghelidj.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He devoted 20 years to researching, experimenting and proving that plain water could cure major life threatening diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease. During that period, he cured thousands of patients of these diseases. No toxic, expensive, dangerous drugs from Big Pharma could do this! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His work has been systematically debunked, marginalized and stifled by Big Pharma and the medical profession. Our study groups are organized around one the last book he wrote in 2003, "Water Cures, Drugs Kill." which incorporate his most up to date findings and contains scores of personal testimonies from people who followed his teachings and cured themselves with water, including other health care professionals! The meetings are free and you can actually get started on his water protocol right at the meeting!

The health effects of chlorine through inhalation (from the steam in your shower, for instance) and ingestion (from tap water) include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*  Cancers of the bladder, liver, rectum and colon&lt;br /&gt;    * Heart disease&lt;br /&gt;    * Atherosclerosis&lt;br /&gt;    * Anemia&lt;br /&gt;    * High blood pressure&lt;br /&gt;    * Allergic reactions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;And now two studies further confirm the risk of exposure of chlorine to the fetuses of pregnant women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Studies Link Chlorine to Birth Defects &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two recent studies focused on the health effects for pregnant women who drank chlorinated water. One, published in the Environmental Health Journal, reported that pregnant women who lived in areas with tap water with high concentrations of chlorine disinfectants nearly doubled their risk of having children with heart problems, a cleft palate or major brain defects. Other specific birth defects listed in the study were:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Anencephalus, a brain condition, rose to .17 percent in high THM areas&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Hole-in-the-heart defects nearly doubled&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Number of cleft palates rose from 0.029 percent to 0.045 percent in high THM areas&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Risks of having children with the above three birth defects increased between 50 and 100 percent&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Slightly raised risk of having children with urinary tract defects and Down’s syndrome&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Our findings don’t just add to the evidence that water chlorination may cause birth defects but suggest that exposure to chlorination by-products may be responsible for some specific and research common defects,” said Professor Jouni Jaakkola of the University of Birmingham who led the research team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exposure can happen by drinking the water, taking a bath or a shower or by standing closely to a boiling pot of tea. The danger of exposure to pregnant women happens when the chemical by-products of chlorination called trihalomethanes (THMs) are absorbed through the skin and then transmitted to the womb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THMs are one type of disinfection byproduct (DBP) created when the disinfectants used to kill bacteria in the U.S. drinking water supply, such as chlorine, react with natural organic matter, such as decaying vegetation, or when certain compounds such as bromide are present in the water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Studies have linked THMs with low birth weight and neurological abnormalities in infants, along with increased incidences of neural tube defects, small body length, and small head size in babies born to women drinking water containing 400 ppb THMs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Research has also linked an increased risk of bladder cancer with exposures of 50 ppb, and first trimester miscarriage in pregnant women drinking water with 75 ppb -- both of which are under the EPA “safe” limit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second study published by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry showed that some birth defects such as spinal bifida and neural tube defects are linked to total THMs ingested in drinking water. Risks of neural tube defects were doubled among women with the highest exposure to THMs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How Did Chlorine Find Its Way Into the U.S. Water Supply and Who Regulates it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back in 1908, chlorine was added to a community water system in New Jersey as a way to get rid of many types of water-borne diseases such as Cholera and Typhoid fever. Before chlorination, many major cities experienced death tolls of 1 in 1,000 people from Typhoid alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For over 80 years, chlorine has been used to disinfect municipal water and it wasn’t until the 1970s that it was discovered that combining water with natural, organic matter such as vegetation and algae produced Trihalomethanes. Today, chlorine is injected into drinking water in two ways: injected directly by bubbling chlorine gas into the reservoir of drinking water or by adding calcium hypo chloride (bleaching powder) to water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets the standards for acceptable levels of contaminants in drinking water. Their defined standard for chloroform, the most common trihalomethane found in chlorinated water, is 100 parts per billion or 100 micrograms per liter of water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They base this on an estimate that this level of contamination results in an added lifetime cancer risk of about 2 per 100,000 person-years, assuming the average person is consuming about two liters of drinking water per day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Researchers from the Boston University School of Public Health believe that the cancer risk from chlorinated water may be up to 10-50 times higher than the EPA estimate. This is due to the fact that the EPA’s estimate is based solely on ingesting drinking water as the source of trihalomethanes. They didn’t take into account the chloroform exposure from bathing, showering and doing laundry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to some studies, two-thirds of the harmful exposure to chlorine is due to inhalation of steam and skin absorption while showering. Taking a warm shower opens up your skin pores and clears the way for accelerated absorption of chlorine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The steam inhaled during showers contains up to 50 times the amount of chemicals in tap water. This is because the chlorine, along with other contaminants and DBPs, vaporize at a faster rate and at a lower temperature than water. Once inhaled, the chlorine goes directly into your bloodstream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leading experts are confirming the dangerous effects of inhaling chlorine while taking showers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to researcher Bruce Black during a meeting of the American Chemical Society:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    “Taking long, hot showers is a health risk. The chemicals evaporate out of the water and are inhaled. They can also spread through the house and be inhaled by others. House holders can receive 6 to 100 times more of the chemical by breathing the air around showers and bath than they would by drinking the water.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further, a Professor of Water Chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh claims that exposure to vaporized chemicals in the water supplies through showering, bathing and inhalation is 100 times greater than through drinking water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And according to Dr. Lance Wallace, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, “Showering is suspected as the primary cause of elevated levels of chloroform in nearly every home because of chlorine in the water.”&lt;br /&gt;________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;Also note that chlorine is not the only dangerous chemical in your water. PRescription Drugs are a recently observed, but fast growing hazard. Just as you would fear having your unborn baby and the rest of your family exposed to chlorine, I have no doubt that you would not want them exposed to birth control pills, ritlin and other antidepressants, powerful heart disease and anti diabetic drugs. A recent study found the residue from 52 different drugs in the Philadelphia, Pa public water! A simple chlorine filter will NOT remove the prescription drug residue.&lt;br /&gt;Check out this site to learn about a Japanese Ionic Water Generator that is so powerful it is used in hundreds of Japanese hospitals and is certified as a medical device by their FDA and is used to fight many chronic diseases, including diabetes and cancer! &lt;a href="http://tw0.us/4Ue"&gt;The Best Water!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-6455305663118179184?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/6455305663118179184/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/10/chlorine-damages-fetuses-in-pregnant.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/6455305663118179184'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/6455305663118179184'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/10/chlorine-damages-fetuses-in-pregnant.html' title='Chlorine Damages Fetuses in Pregnant Women!'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-8038475874633901887</id><published>2009-10-28T22:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-28T22:27:21.702-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='aids'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nutrition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Big Pharma'/><title type='text'>An End to the Aids Bull Crap!</title><content type='html'>Essentially, AIDS can be cured in much the same way cancer can be cured: By radically altering food intake and lifestyle decisions to support a vibrant, healthy immune system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember what Dr Luc Montagnier, Nobel Prize winning co-discoverer of AIDS said in the film: "We can be exposed to HIV many times without being ... infected.

But in the recent study, the researchers controlled for caloric intake and still MSG led to significant weight gain — so clearly, something independent of nerve-induced gluttony is going on. The scientists postulate that in addition to stimulating appetite, MSG alters fat metabolism, plus, it seems to impair the hormones that control weight gain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MSG and Aspartame are found in many food and pharmaceutical substances, often without being identified as such on the labels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If only you could just scratch MSG from your diet, it would be an easy fix. But MSG masquerades as many other innocuous sounding ingredients that you’ll find in a large proportion of food items. For instance, all of these additives always contain MSG (or simply are MSG in disguise): yeast extract, hydrolyzed protein, calcium caseinate, sodium caseinate, textured protein (including TVP), corn oil, and gelatin. Other additives that may contain MSG include corn starch, soy sauce, seasonings, carageenan, maltodextrin, rice syrup, whey protein, soy protein isolate, malt flavoring, stock, and many others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and shopping at the health food store doesn’t guarantee that you’ll avoid MSG. Check labels and you’ll be shocked to discover that, in fact, &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;even many organic prepared foods contain either MSG, or free-form glutamic acid.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For instance, Bragg’s Liquid Amino Acids are a rich source of free glutamic acid (hydrochloric acid is used in processing the liquid aminos). And many so-called “natural flavors” can include protein hydrolysates which can contain up to 20% MSG.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lest you despair that you’ll never lose weight with MSG so omnipresent, here’s a bit of advice. Avoid prepared foods, rely on local organic produce to the extent possible, learn which MSG imposters masquerade as other ingredients and check labels.&lt;br /&gt;________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;MSG is the food scientist's best friend.

Colin Campbell, author of the highly acclaimed book, The China Study, and his team of researchers has conclusively demonstrated in his studies conducted over twenty years that it is possible to turn cancer on and turn cancer off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He determined that diet has an absolute effect on all cancers.&lt;/span&gt; The same conclusion was reached when they looked at diet’s effect on diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disease and many other significant and less significant health conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1998, the American Institute for Cancer Research awarded Dr. Campbell their Research Achievement award for his lifetime of work toward a resolution based in diet and lifestyle choices that affect a variety of cancers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Campbell has a love for the natural way to health and is determined to speak out on the influence of “big medicine” on wellness, a subject he speaks passionately in the China Study.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Dr. Campbell’s conclusions of nutritional and environmental factors affecting the presence of all cancers, his hypothesis compliments the position of Hiromi Shinya, MD, an oncologist who invented the modern colonoscope. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His similar clinical observations on patients in his practices both in the United States and in Japan can at last put our minds at ease. It is now possible to have control of a death defying situation called cancer. In the judgment of both men and supported by Susan Lark, MD in her book, Chemistry of Success, acid causing diets have a negative effect in our body that can lead to disease. In fact in 1933 Dr. Otto Warburg was given the Nobel Prize for discovering that cancer cells can only live in an overly acidic body, they die by themselves in an alkaline body. In fact, it is now agreed that virtually all chronic diseases can be traced back to imbalances of the body caused by bad nutrition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; All three doctors have concluded that an alkaline diet consisting of plant-based foods, augmented with alkaline water, exercise and meditation can thwart the growth of cancer, crush the incidence of diabetes and inhibit the occurrence of heart disease.&lt;br /&gt;_____________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;Obviously, this is news Big Pharma and the Medical Mafia does not want to get out. They want to continue the "Search for the Cure" and spend billions of dollars on diseases that can be prevented, controlled or even cured with safe, effective nutrition based treatments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you would like to learn more about how you can help yourself and your family overcome your medical problems, visit our site, &lt;a href="http://tw8.us/cR"&gt;Alkalize Your Life!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bill Young, Nutritional Therapy Coach&lt;br /&gt;646-961-3818&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-8698946457537560095?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/8698946457537560095/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/10/doctors-agree-nutrition-is-key-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/8698946457537560095'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/8698946457537560095'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/10/doctors-agree-nutrition-is-key-to.html' title='Doctors Agree, Nutrition is the Key to Preventing, Controlling and Curing Cancer!'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-8956998973431439760</id><published>2009-10-24T10:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-24T10:30:33.928-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beef'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='USDA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='downer cows'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mad cow'/><title type='text'>USDA Gives OK to Marketing Mad-Cow Contaminated Beef!</title><content type='html'>The USDA just ruled that it is ok to market meat from so-called "downer cows" cows that died before slaughter and are a high risk for the prions that signal mad cow disease as long as their meat is mixed with meat from healthy cows!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How does adding another cow's meat to the downer cow's meat make the downer cow's meat any safer? It doesn't, of course, but &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;the USDA (FDA,FAA etc) isn't really interested in consumer safety.&lt;/span&gt; That's why they've issued this statement that means a meat packing company can use 99% of its beef from mad cow disease "downer" cows, and 1% of its beef from healthy cows, and it's all declared "safe" by the USDA with no need to recall the beef!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now you can see why I consider the USDA to be such a joke. Much like the FDA, the USDA is primarily focused on protecting the profits of the industry it claims to regulate. What's important to the USDA is promoting beef, not protecting the public, and that's exactly why you also see these intentional delays in the USDA issuing beef recalls. These delays are specifically designed to limit the financial losses associated with beef recalls by making sure most of the meat is already eaten by consumers before the recall is issued.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://tw0.us/4IC"&gt;Read complete article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;_____________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;No Comment!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-8956998973431439760?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/8956998973431439760/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/10/usda-gives-ok-to-marketing-mad-cow.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/8956998973431439760'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/8956998973431439760'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/10/usda-gives-ok-to-marketing-mad-cow.html' title='USDA Gives OK to Marketing Mad-Cow Contaminated Beef!'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-5989578229715961711</id><published>2009-10-22T18:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-22T18:38:16.497-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vitamin C'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vitamin E'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='high blood pressure'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='artherosclerosis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='heart disease'/><title type='text'>Vitamin C and E Linked to Lower Blood Pressure!</title><content type='html'>Dr Joseph Mercola:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"According to results of a recent study, rats that consumed foods with free radicals -- compounds that are linked to heart disease and other chronic illnesses -- had lower levels of nitric oxide and higher blood pressure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, adding vitamins C and E to the rats' diet appeared to partially reverse this degenerative process, resulting in lower blood pressure levels."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Mercola is a conventional medical doctor "Gone Bad!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is now a big advocate of alternative medicine, especially nutrition based alternatives. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why doesn't conventional medicine acknowledge and adopt natural treatments of all chronic diseases, like hypertension?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been observed by a growing list of doctors that most chronic degenerative diseases are the result of poor nutrition, the recommendations of the Standard American Diet (SAD), which is low in antioxidant nutrients and very high in acid producing foods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consuming this diet results in the build up of acid in the body and oxidative stress caused by the free radicals that defeat the body's stores of antioxidants. This leaves the body incapable of defending itself from attack by various diseases and maladies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the body's defenses are restored by consuming foods that are alkaline and full of natural antioxidants and by drinking Ionized, alkaline water, which is the strongest antioxidant available, the body is then able to defeat the disease producing microbes and "heal" itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information, click here:&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-5989578229715961711?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/5989578229715961711/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/10/vitamin-c-and-e-linked-to-lower-blood.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/5989578229715961711'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/5989578229715961711'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/10/vitamin-c-and-e-linked-to-lower-blood.html' title='Vitamin C and E Linked to Lower Blood Pressure!'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-8356304324625499231</id><published>2009-10-21T09:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-10T11:16:12.079-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='haptoglobin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vitamin E'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='heart attack'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diabetes'/><title type='text'>Vitamin E Very Effective Protects Diabetics From Heart Attacks!</title><content type='html'>A study published in the Journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology revealed that our body needs an antioxidant protein called haptoglobin that prevents inflammation of the artery walls and this wards off cardiovascular events like heart attacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While most diabetics are deficient in antioxidants, some diabetics have a genetic condition (Hp 2-2) that causes a deficiency of haptoglobin making them even more prone to cardiovascular damage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A group of Israeli researchers discovered that vitamin E supplements were able to thwart heart attacks in diabetics, even those with the Hp 2-2 gene. They studied the effects of vitamin E on 1,400 type 2 diabetics with the Hp 2-2 gene and over 55 years old. They were divided into 2 groups - with one receiving placebo and the other 400 IU vitamin E daily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 18 months, the results showed that the placebo group had twice the number of heart attacks, strokes and cardiovascular related deaths. Because of such a phenomenal result, the trial was terminated early and all the placebo patients were put on vitamin E supplementation.&lt;br /&gt;___________________________________&lt;br /&gt;The conclusion is that Vitamin E is a protector of the cardiovascular system. Without an adequate supply of vitamin E and other antioxidants, diabetics will suffer deadly complications of the disease. That is why their glucose lowering drugs have little to no impact on the progression of diabetes because they do not address the underlying disease, which is caused by free radicals (which the antioxidants eliminate) and over acidity of the blood, which also damages blood vessels and is neutralized with an alkaline diet. &lt;br /&gt;For more information on alkaline diets, alkaline water and antioxidant supplementation, &lt;a href="http://AlkalizeMyLife.com"&gt;GO HERE!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-8356304324625499231?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/8356304324625499231/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/10/vitamin-e-very-effective-protects.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/8356304324625499231'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/8356304324625499231'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/10/vitamin-e-very-effective-protects.html' title='Vitamin E Very Effective Protects Diabetics From Heart Attacks!'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-5694719370605568648</id><published>2009-10-18T10:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T20:27:17.569-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='genetically modified'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bovine growth hormone'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='factory farms'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='conventional medicine'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Big Pharma'/><title type='text'>Conventional Medicine Killed More Americans in 10 Years Than All Wars in Our History!</title><content type='html'>Organized (traditional) medicine more efficient than war in killing Americans!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.8 million iatrogenic deaths in last decade more than all wars fought by U.S.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by The Idaho Observer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most comprehensive report on “government-approved medicine” ever conducted shows that &lt;em&gt;organized medicine has killed 7,841,360 Americans in the last 10 years. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Our estimated 10-year total of 7.8 million iatrogenic [doctor-induced] deaths is more than all the casualties from all the wars fought by the U.S. throughout its entire history,” commented the Nutrition Institute of America (NIA), in its report, “Death By Medicine” (Oct., 2003).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The concept of the report was prompted by the fact that, while conventional medicine kills hundreds of thousands of Americans each year, government regulators ban and restrict the use of vitamins and herbs that kill no one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Incidentally, the report, which resulted from the compilation and analysis of 94 U.S. hospitals and hundreds of medical journal articles, determined that medical error causes an astounding 783,936 deaths per year (and growing). “It is evident that the American medical system is itself the leading cause of death and injury in the U.S.,” the authors observed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The purpose of the report was to memorialize the total failure of the American medical system and to “provide the basis for competent and compassionate medical professionals to recognize the inadequacies of today's system and at least attempt to institute meaningful reforms,” wrote the editors of Life Extension magazine. &lt;br /&gt;______________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;Bill's Comments__________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly this is a controversial thesis, that organized, conventional medicine kills 3/4 million Americans each year. But before you dismiss it, take a look at some of its most egregious features. When you couple it with the fact that the same forces are behind the deadly Standard American Diet, (SAD), the figures sighted in the report are probably conservative!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The intersection of the food industry and the medical industry is at the bank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bankers demand profits. In fact, they and all US corporations are mandated by law to put profits for shareholders before any other considerations, such as health, public safety, patriotism and even God. (Dodge vs Ford, 1916)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They finance a food industry that produces foods that are bad for our health, but profitable. Take monoculture for instance. This is the long discredited practice of growing the same crop in the same soil year after year. Since the same crop is drawing the same minerals from the soil, it becomes depleted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what caused the great dust bowls of the 1930's. However, with the advent of synthetic fertilizers, which is more profitable than rotating crops to rest the soil is now the norm in Industrial Agriculture. The result is crops with little to no nutritional value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, crops are being genetically modified (GM). They are being bred to be resistant to diseased, drought and flood, which might seem like a good idea, certainly one that will increase profits, but at what cost to the nutritional value of the result? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other genetic manipulations include breeding crops that will survive transcontinental shipping and long storage times without spoiling and crops that appear perfect and healthy. Have you taken a bite out of a tomato recently? How about a strawberry? Much of these "advantages" come at the expense of the nutritional content of the fruit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bottom line is that much of what passes for wholesome fruits and vegetables today are deficient in the vitamins and minerals that we need for health and in fact, through selective breeding and genetic modification may actually be harmful to our health.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as raising livestock goes, the nostalgic picture of the farmer sucking on a weed next to the cattle pen with the red barn in the distance is pure bunk. Go see "Food Inc" to see how cows, pigs and chickens are really raised these days on "Factory Farms." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cows are fed grain which is an unnatural food for them. Their natural food is grass. It changes their Omega 3 Fatty acids which we need for our health to Omega 6 fatty acids which most of us have too much of and has been implicated in many human diseases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is the good news. Cows and other animals are also fed the ground up carcasses of other dead animals! Hogs are born, fed and slaughtered in pens where they have little or no room to move in total filth. Chickens are raised in "factories" where they never once see the sun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dairy cows are shot full of Bovine Growth Hormone so that instead of 10 pounds of milk per day, they produce 100! This leads to problems, like having to wear brassiers to keep their udders off the ground. Disease and infection are rampant among these poor animals. Chickens with cancer, infected pigs and cows, all flooded with antibiotics that get into our bodies when we eat them along with growth hormones, one consequence of which is that girl's breasts are growing bigger, and their periods start earlier than normal, contributing to teenage pregnancy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This brings us to step two. Since we are not getting the nutrients we need for our health but instead eating diseased, mutated animal flesh, we are being overwhelmed by diseases. Cancer now strikes 1 in 2 men, 1 in 8 New Yorkers has diabetes, 70 million have high blood pressure, etc. etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same bankers finance the medical establishment. Their primary concern is profit. Most doctors are little more than drug pushers for the big pharmaceutical companies, Big Pharma. In medical school they are taught to "Name it and Tame it." Put a name to the patient's symptoms and then prescribe a drug for that disease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In their practices they are bribed by Big Pharma; sports and show tickets, lavish catered lunches for the doctor and his staff, vacations in exotic places, to prescribe their hottest drugs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These drugs share several qualities. They are expensive, they generally don't cure the disease they are prescribed for and they have dangerous "side effects."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I spoke to a woman recently who has had diabetes for 20 years. She takes 14 different medications, costing $1,017 every 3 months! A perfect patient in the eyes of Big Pharma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The unholy Food/Pharma/Medical axis does not care how many people who fall ill or die because of their greed, as long as it makes money for their shareholders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bill Young, Nutritional Therapy Coach&lt;br /&gt;646-961-3818&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-5694719370605568648?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/5694719370605568648/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/10/conventional-medicine-killed-more.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/5694719370605568648'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/5694719370605568648'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/10/conventional-medicine-killed-more.html' title='Conventional Medicine Killed More Americans in 10 Years Than All Wars in Our History!'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-1430446767326417206</id><published>2009-10-17T21:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T10:06:20.365-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='acidosis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='asthma'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='alkaline diet'/><title type='text'>Acid in Lungs Triggers Asthma Attacks!</title><content type='html'>American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acid in your lungs triggers bronchial attacks!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Research published in American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine announced that they've uncovered an amazing trigger for asthma attacks—high acid levels in the lungs!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Benjamin Gaston and his research team discovered that shortly BEFORE a bronchial attack begins, acid levels in the lungs shot up as much as 1,000-fold!

Free radicals are dangerous substances that attack various parts of the body. In the case of asthma, it is the smooth muscles inside the airways of the lungs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also many of the foods you eat and drink flood the bloodstream with acid, which also damages your body's cells and promotes the formation of additional free radicals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the lungs are inflamed the air passages become narrow and you feel shortness of breath and you cough, in an effort to open the blocked airways; especially when in a physically or emotionally stressful situation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The inhalers and steroid drugs sold to you by Big Pharma only control the immediate inflammation and do not attack the cause of the inflammation, which is why you continue to have attacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer is to eliminate the excess acid in your blood and to boost you body's supply of antioxidants. This will protect the smooth muscle from being attacked and therefor ameliorate or prevent asthma attacks, depending on your compliance with our recommendations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therfore, the number and severity of your asthma attacks will be greatly reduced and they may stop altogether as long as you alkalize your blood and control free radicals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can you do this? Simple, alkalize your blood stream and increase the level of antioxidants in your body. You can do this in several ways:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nutrition. Eat plenty of vegetables, especially brightly colored vegetables. They are alkaline foods and will help neutralize the acid in your blood, plus they contain phytochemicals that act as antioxidants. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cut out dairy, which produces heavy mucus, cut way back on meat and fish as they are acid producers. Cut out fried foods as the heated oil is loaded with free radicals. Also cut out most baked goods, because of the oil (shortening) used in preparation and because the flour made from grains is also a source of acid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eliminate alcohol and sodas, even diet sodas. They are among the most acidic substances you can take. The same goes for energy drinks and most bottled waters (which in 40% of cases is nothing but overpriced tapwater!) are acidic as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nutritional Supplements. Vitamins E and C are great antioxidants, especially E in preventing oxidative stress to the lungs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ionized Alkaline Water. For the fastest results in eliminating your asthma, drink copious volumes of Ionized Alkaline Water. This is the most powerful antioxidant available to you. It is also a very powerful eliminator of blood acidity as it has a very alkaline Ph value (index of alkaline/acid ratio in a liquid. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These measures will go a long way to eliminating your asthma without the cost and frankly danger of inhaled steroids and other medicines which you are taking which do not prevent or cure asthma attacks as they do nothing to attack the cause of asthma. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To find out more about how to Alkalize your Life, go here: &lt;a href="http://AlkalizeMyLife.Com"&gt;Alkalize My Life!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any questions, please do not hesitate to call me!&lt;br /&gt;Bill Young, Nutrition Therapy Coach- 646-961-3818&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-5578846232291813572?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/5578846232291813572/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/10/get-rid-of-your-asthma-with-nutrition.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/5578846232291813572'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/5578846232291813572'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/10/get-rid-of-your-asthma-with-nutrition.html' title='Get Rid of Your Asthma With Nutrition!'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-6972945803282830379</id><published>2009-10-06T11:36:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-06T11:36:01.777-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Standard American DIEt, Profits for the Bankers, Death to You!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/MaverickMoneyMan/2009/05/19/Will-You-Survive-Bad-Economy-or-Will-You-be-a-Victims"&gt;Standard American DIEt, Profits for the Bankers, Death to You!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shared via &lt;a href="http://addthis.com"&gt;AddThis&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-6972945803282830379?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/6972945803282830379/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/10/standard-american-diet-profits-for.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/6972945803282830379'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/6972945803282830379'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/10/standard-american-diet-profits-for.html' title='Standard American DIEt, Profits for the Bankers, Death to You!'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-8772823908517854914</id><published>2009-10-06T07:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-06T08:08:18.008-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='free radicals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diabetic complications'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='alkaline diet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diabetes'/><title type='text'>Deadly Diabetes Advice For Diabetics From a Registered Dietician!</title><content type='html'>This is an excerpt from an article on Living With Diabetes, written by a Licensed Dietitian who will, mercifully (on my part!), remain nameless!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"By definition, diet simply means the foods that you choose everyday. &lt;em&gt;There are no special foods for people with diabetes;

It, along with its complications is the 3rd leading cause of death in this country and cuts about 10-15 years off of your life span?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nutrition is the key to curing diabetes and most other chronic diseases. Poor nutrition is a big factor in insulin resistance, leading to a build up of acid in the blood and the generation of free radicals. Free radicals are mutant cells that attack normal cells, turning them into free radicals in a cascading chain of celluar raidcalization and spreding cell damage. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a result of poor nutrition, acidosis and free radical damage, the insulin receptors on cells do not function properly and therefore glucose, sugar is prevented from entering the cells, which then call for more insulin. The result is that insulin and glucose build up in the blood stream, signaling but not causing diabetes. This leads to obesity, nerve damage, poor circulation; precursors to the complications of diabetes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;40% of diabetics suffer nerve damgae&lt;br /&gt;25% suffer eye damage&lt;br /&gt;50% suffer kidney damage&lt;br /&gt;80% die from cardiovascular damage&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contrary to our mainstream diatician, the diet must be changed radically to an alkaline diet that helps eliminate the acidosis and contributes antioxidants to help fight the free radicalls. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To find out more about how an alkaline lifestyle can treat and even reverse diabetes, click here: http://AlkalizeMyLife.Com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bill Young 646-961-3818&lt;br /&gt;Nutritional Therapy Coach&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-8772823908517854914?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/8772823908517854914/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/10/deadly-diabetes-advice-for-diabetics.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/8772823908517854914'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/8772823908517854914'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/10/deadly-diabetes-advice-for-diabetics.html' title='Deadly Diabetes Advice For Diabetics From a Registered Dietician!'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-5334001401302093828</id><published>2009-10-04T09:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-04T09:44:30.155-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chronic Disease'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='alkaline diet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dr Robert O. Young'/><title type='text'>Overacidity of the body is at the root of all disease!</title><content type='html'>Excerpt of an article by Dr Robert O. Young&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The main point here is that bacteria, yeast, fungus or mold do not cause sickness and disease (including cancer) --- sickness and disease (including cancer and HIV) is a result of excess acidity or antigens that have not been properly buffered by antibodies or bases such as sodium bicarbonate (an alkalizing chemical).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sickness and disease can only be caused by an over acidification (abundance of antigens) of the fluids of the body due to our own personal lifestyle and dietary choices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you contemplate the cause of the flu, cold or any so-called infection, may I suggest that each of us take personal responsibility for the consequences of our choices, rather than blame a phantom Avian Influenza virus, cold virus, flu virus, cancer virus or some non-existent HIV virus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you get sick, it is your own fault and not the cause of some phantom virus that &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;you can blame to cover your own lifestyle and dietary transgressions.&lt;/span&gt; Save your money and save your life by making alkalizing and energizing lifestyle and dietary choices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is where true immunity is found -- not in a vaccine or a drug which are all acidic and poisonous to the body but in living an alkaline lifestyle." Dr Robert O. Young is a biochemical researcher and the author of several books on the subject of dietary solutions to diseases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$Bill's Comments$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$&lt;br /&gt;Dr Young is no relation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even Dr Louis Pasteur, the inventor of the Germ Theory of disease, recanted that theory at the end of his life, saying, "It is not the germs, but the terrain that causes sickness." (sic) In other words, it is the hospitable environment in the body that causes sickness. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as mosquitoes look for and can only survive in dirty stagnant water, they do not cause the water to become dirty and stagnant. Clean up the water and you get rid of the mosquitoes. Clean up (alkalize) your body and your disease will go away!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can alkalize your lifestyle by proper foods, water, exercise, meditation and nutritional supplements.

The full onslaught of swine&lt;br /&gt;flu in the United States will make itself painfully&lt;br /&gt;known during the upcoming flu season, starting fairly&lt;br /&gt;early in September.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will most likely infect 30-40% of the U.S.&lt;br /&gt;population, or about 100 million people, according to&lt;br /&gt;flu expert Ira Longini, from the University of&lt;br /&gt;Washington's School of Public Health.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Initial supplies of the swine flu vaccine, which will&lt;br /&gt;be available sometime between mid-September to late&lt;br /&gt;October 2009, are expected to be very limited -- barely&lt;br /&gt;enough to inoculate the 160 million people who are at&lt;br /&gt;high risk of becoming infected. An even bigger concern&lt;br /&gt;is whether the fast-tracked vaccine is safe and&lt;br /&gt;effective -- since it's being rushed to market without&lt;br /&gt;the appropriate testing and safety evaluations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a growing suspicion in the general population&lt;br /&gt;and among certain members of the medical community,&lt;br /&gt;including Dr. Joseph Mercola, the publisher of a&lt;br /&gt;popular self-titled natural health newsletter, that&lt;br /&gt;being exposed to this new swine flu vaccine might prove&lt;br /&gt;to be more dangerous than the swine flu itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many scientists and doctors now believe that Microbes,&lt;br /&gt;germs, harmful bacteria and viruses, such as the swine&lt;br /&gt;influenza virus, do not cause disease in and of&lt;br /&gt;themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They do seek their natural habitat -- such as an&lt;br /&gt;oxygen-deficient (overly acidic) body -- rather than being the CAUSE of&lt;br /&gt;the disease. It's no different from the way mosquitoes&lt;br /&gt;seek out stagnant water, but do not cause the water pool to&lt;br /&gt;become stagnant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This view is consistent with the findings&lt;br /&gt;of Dr. Rudolf Virchow (1821 - 1902), also called the&lt;br /&gt;"Father of Pathology."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also supported by Louis Pasteur, the notable&lt;br /&gt;19th century French chemist and microbiologist best&lt;br /&gt;known for his remarkable breakthroughs in the causes&lt;br /&gt;and prevention of disease, who recanted his germ theory&lt;br /&gt;of disease at his deathbed, stating, "The microbe is&lt;br /&gt;nothing. The terrain is everything."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The terrain of which Pasteur spoke refers to an&lt;br /&gt;oxygenated environment in the human body (alkaline Ph) which makes&lt;br /&gt;for a strong immune system. A weakened or suppressed&lt;br /&gt;state of the immune system only occurs when the human&lt;br /&gt;body lacks oxygen, thereby allowing viruses, such as&lt;br /&gt;the swine influenza virus, to breed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It therefore stands to reason that the swine flu&lt;br /&gt;virus does not CAUSE disease, but rather seeks out an&lt;br /&gt;environment where it can thrive best -- and that is in&lt;br /&gt;over acidic bodies. (Acidosis)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sufficiently oxygenated bod is uninhabitable by&lt;br /&gt;disease and viruses can neither&lt;br /&gt;survive nor thrive in it. Therefore, the best defense&lt;br /&gt;against microbes, germs, harmful bacteria and viruses,&lt;br /&gt;such as the swine flu virus, is to keep the body&lt;br /&gt;alkaline by eating an alkaline diet and drinking alkaline water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can learn how to do this here: &lt;a href="http://AlkalizeMyLife.Com"&gt;http://AlkalizeMyLife.Com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-596582810466275712?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/596582810466275712/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/09/stop-swine-flu-by-alkalizing-your-body.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/596582810466275712'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/596582810466275712'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/09/stop-swine-flu-by-alkalizing-your-body.html' title='Stop the Swine Flu By Alkalizing Your Body!'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-2908887807106545674</id><published>2009-09-25T13:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-25T13:35:36.272-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Janumet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FDA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Januvia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pancreatitis'/><title type='text'>Januvia Linked to Pacreatitis!</title><content type='html'>Sitagliptin (marketed as Januvia and Janumet) - acute pancreatitis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Audience: Diabetes healthcare professionals, patients&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Posted 09/25/2009] FDA notified healthcare professionals and patients of revisions to the prescribing information for Januvia (sitagliptin) and Janumet (sitagliptin/metformin) to include information on &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;reported cases of acute pancreatitis in patients using these products. Eighty-eight post-marketing cases of acute pancreatitis, including two cases of hemorrhagic or necrotizing pancreatitis in patients using sitagliptin, were reported to the Agency between October 2006 and February 2009. &lt;/span&gt;It is recommended that healthcare professionals monitor patients carefully for the development of pancreatitis after initiation or dose increases of sitagliptin or sitagliptin/metformin. Sitagliptin has not been studied in patients with a history of pancreatitis. Therefore, it is not known whether these patients are at an increased risk for developing pancreatitis and the medication should be used with caution and with appropriate monitoring in patients with a history of pancreatitis.

For example, the prime cause of the plague is the plague bacillus, but secondary causes of the plague are filth, rats, and the fleas that transfer the plague bacillus from rats to man. &lt;strong&gt;By the prime cause of a disease, I mean one that is found in every case of the disease.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cancer, above all other diseases, has countless secondary causes. Almost anything can cause cancer. But, even for cancer, there is only one prime cause. The prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen (oxidation of sugar) in normal body cells by fermentation of sugar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All normal body cells meet their energy needs by respiration of oxygen, whereas cancer cells meet their energy needs in great part by fermentation. All normal body cells are aerobics, whereas all cancer cells are partialy aerobics. From the standpoint of the physics and chemistry of life this difference between normal and cancer cells is so great that one can scarcely picture a greater difference. Oxygen gas, the donor of energy in plants and animals, is dethroned in the cancer cells and replaced by the energy yielding reaction of the lowest living forms, namely the fermentation of sugar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In every case, during the cancer development, the oxygen level of the cell always falls, fermentation appears, and the highly differentiated cells are transformed into fermenting anaerobes, which have lost all their body functions and retain only the now useless property of growth and replication. Thus, when respiration disappears, life does not disappear, but the meaning of life disappears, and what remains are growing machines that destroy the body in which they grow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is indisputable that all cancer could be prevented if the respiration of body cells were kept intact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nobody today can say that one does not know what the prime cause of cancer is. On the contrary, there is no disease whose prime cause is better known, so that today &lt;em&gt;ignorance is no longer an excuse for avoiding measures for prevention.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That the prevention of cancer will come there is no doubt. But how long prevention will be avoided depends on how long the prophets of agnosticism will succeed in inhibiting the application of scientific knowledge in the cancer field. In the meantime, millions of men and women must die of cancer unnecessarily.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*************************************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;Let's see, he won the Nobel Prize in 1933 (76 years ago) for discovering that cancer cells could only live in an acidic environment? This lecture is from 1966, (43 years ago) and in the mean time, the Medical Maffia could not use this breathtaking knowledge to prevent and cure cancer? GIVE ME A  BREAK!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, Alternative Health Professionals do not have the same Predatory motivations for keeping this information secret.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We now know and have proven that the conditions neccessary for the growth and proliferation of cancer occur when the body become over acidic a condition that is marked by the reduction in oxygen in the cells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the cells lack sufficient oxygen to support aerobic respiration, they can; perhaps with damage from free radicals, become cancerous. Consequently, when someone has cancer, their cells lack oxygen as they are acidic. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eliminating acidosis (over acidity) means the cancer can no longer live. In fact we know that the cancer cells become dormant at Ph 7.4 (alkaline)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you would like more information, go to &lt;a href="http://alkalizeformaximumlife.blogspot.com/"&gt;Alkalize For Maximum Health!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-8452320884290411085?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/8452320884290411085/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/09/underlying-cause-of-all-cancers.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/8452320884290411085'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/8452320884290411085'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/09/underlying-cause-of-all-cancers.html' title='The Underlying Cause of All Cancers!'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-4634588779355138425</id><published>2009-09-20T06:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-20T07:10:34.951-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chronic Disease'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ALKALINE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ph'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nutrition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='free radicals'/><title type='text'>Mainstream Medicine Slowly Recognizing Curative Powers of Nutrition</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Animal nutrition and acid-base balance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Institute of Animal Nutrition, University of Zürich, Switzerland. jriond@vetphys.unizh.ch&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;In domestic animals, acid-base balance may be influenced by nutrition&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The major research effort in this area has been made on the &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;prevention of hypocalcemic postparturient paresis in dairy cows.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This disorder is caused by the sudden increase of calcium secretion into the colostrum. The manipulation of the dietary cation-anion difference makes it possible to maintain the cows in metabolic acidosis during the critical period that precedes calving, presumably via a mechanism that involves the strong ion difference in the extracellular fluid. &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;As a consequence the mobilization of calcium is enhanced and the incidence of the disorder is decreased. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Conversely, a dietary induced metabolic alkalosis leads to a more severe degree of hypocalcemia and the incidence of the disease is increased.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The underlying mechanisms of the prevention are only partially understood. Nevertheless, this preventive method is already widely applied in practice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nutrition effects on acid-base balance also influence growth and food intake in higher vertebrates and fish. As a consequence, the incidence of developmental orthopedic diseases in fast-growing domestic animal species may be affected. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, the bone mineral content of athletic horses may be influenced by dietary induced modification of the acid-base status. The mineral loss due to metabolic acidosis may lead to an increase in the incidence of stress fractures. This overview should give insight into relevant aspects of nutrition and acid-base balance in domestic animal species.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, they have successfully manipulated disease by addressing the Ph of the "extracellular fluid" blood, via nutrition. It is obvious the disease can be prevented and cured by adjusting the Ph level of the blood. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same is true for most human chronic diseases. A low blood Ph, (acidic) is  essential for pathogens to grow and thrive. People afflicted with such diseases generally test for a low blood Ph. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1933, Dr Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel Prize for his discovery that cancer cells can only live in an acidic (low Ph) environment. In fact, they become dormant at a normal blood Ph (7.4)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, cells struggling to survive in an acidic environment give rise to so-called free radicals. Free radicals are waste products produced by chemical reactions. They are extremely dangerous to the body. They attack and disable or destroy healthy cells throughout the body giving rise to the many disorders and illnesses that afflict mankind. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, if you maintain the proper Ph level in your blood, it will go a long way to preventing, controlling and curing disease. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To learn what more progressive and enlightened medical professionals have to say about Ph balance, free radicals and their influence on human disease, &lt;a href="http://AlkalizeForHealth.Info"&gt;read these reports.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-4634588779355138425?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/4634588779355138425/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/09/mainstream-medicine-slowly-recognizing.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/4634588779355138425'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/4634588779355138425'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/09/mainstream-medicine-slowly-recognizing.html' title='Mainstream Medicine Slowly Recognizing Curative Powers of Nutrition'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-5486602071206013416</id><published>2009-09-07T13:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-07T14:48:59.762-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='acid reflex'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='GERD'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='proton pump inhibitor'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Prilosec'/><title type='text'>Prilosec, Nexium, etc Actually Cause Acid Reflux, GERD, etc!</title><content type='html'>When will you accept the truth about prescription drugs?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Joseph Mercola, "If you have heartburn, acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease or any acid-related condition, chances are very high that you’ve been offered a prescription for a proton pump inhibitor (PPI)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PPIs like Prilosec, Nexium and Prevacid are among the most commonly prescribed drugs in the world, and their use for treating acid-related symptoms is increasing rapidly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But these drugs are not only vastly overused … they’re very dangerous as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To start, they actually CAUSE the very type of symptoms that they’re intended to prevent if you stop taking them!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To read Study and complete article: http://tw0.us/1CB&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These acid conditions are NOT caused by too much acid!

Profit for everyone except the consumer soon to be heart patient collectively putting Billions of dollars into the covers of the Medical Mafia!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Study after study in the medical journals show that the accepted link between dietary cholesterol and heart disease is false!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if cholesterol is not the culprit, what is the primary cause of heart disease? The answer is simple: Oxidation of the artery walls by free radicals, also known as inflammation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contrary to popular belief, heart disease is not caused by a build-up of cholesterol (or plaque) inside the arteries. It is caused by inflammation within the arterial wall that occurs as a result of the body's natural defense against oxidized LDL cholesterol. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LDL cholesterol provides an important and necessary function in the body. It only becomes a problem when it is damaged through oxidation and deposited in the wall of your arteries by your own body's defense mechanisms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a nutshell, this is the process that causes heart disease:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heart disease begins when abnormal LDL cholesterol, transformed by high blood sugar (acidosis) and/or oxidation moves into the arterial wall. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the immune system in response to the inflamation, causes the arterial wall to bring in the circulating white blood cells, which in turn enter into the arterial wall. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The white blood cells do their job and consume the abnormal LDL cholesterol. These white blood cells become overloaded with abnormal LDL cholesterol and become 'foam cells'. A collection of these foam cells form a fatty streak in the arterial wall. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the artery tries to heal itself, smooth muscle migrates to cover the plaque, forming a fibrous cap around the fatty streak. Continued inflammation causes the fibrous cap to weaken, and eventually rupture, causing a heart attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The process of heart disease begins in our teenage years and slowly worsens over time.

Profit for everyone except the consumer soon to be heart patient, collectively putting Billions of dollars into the covers of the Medical Mafia!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Study after study in the medical journals show that the accepted link between dietary cholesterol and heart disease is false!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if cholesterol is not the culprit, what is the primary cause of heart disease? The answer is simple: Oxidation of the artery walls by free radicals, also known as inflammation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contrary to popular belief, heart disease is not caused by a build-up of cholesterol (or plaque) inside the arteries. It is caused by inflammation within the arterial wall that occurs as a result of the body's natural defense against oxidized LDL cholesterol. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LDL cholesterol provides an important and necessary function in the body. It only becomes a problem when it is damaged through oxidation and deposited in the wall of your arteries by your own body's defense mechanisms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a nutshell, this is the process that causes heart disease:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heart disease begins when abnormal LDL cholesterol, transformed by high blood sugar (acidosis) and/or oxidation moves into the arterial wall. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the immune system in response to the inflamation, causes the arterial wall to bring in the circulating white blood cells, which in turn enter into the arterial wall. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The white blood cells do their job and consume the abnormal LDL cholesterol. These white blood cells become overloaded with abnormal LDL cholesterol and become 'foam cells'. A collection of these foam cells form a fatty streak in the arterial wall. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the artery tries to heal itself, smooth muscle migrates to cover the plaque, forming a fibrous cap around the fatty streak. Continued inflammation causes the fibrous cap to weaken, and eventually rupture, causing a heart attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The process of heart disease begins in our teenage years and slowly worsens over time. By reversing the oxidative process and decreasing inflammation, we can effectively slow down, and even reverse, the progression of heart disease in your body!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is best accomplished by a combination of:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An Alkaline Diet&lt;br /&gt;Proper Exercise&lt;br /&gt;Certain Antioxidant Nutritional Supplements&lt;br /&gt;Heart Supporting Herbs&lt;br /&gt;Meditation/Prayer&lt;br /&gt;Iodized Antioxidant Water&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of these measures, the administration of the Ionized Antioxidant Water is the most acute.

And over the next couple of weeks, I’ll tell you about some of the amazing discoveries happening in CoQ10 research.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CoQ10 is a powerful cancer fighter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Researchers in Tokyo gave rats a carcinogen that promotes colon cancer. The rats were divided into three groups. One group was fed a regular diet. The second group got a low dose of CoQ10. The third got a medium dose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The results were amazing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both of the groups that received CoQ10 had reductions in abnormal crypts (an early sign of colon cancer) of up to 77%. Ultimately, the results of this study suggested that CoQ10 held cancer in check even when exposed to this carcinogen.1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another study done at the University of Texas at Austin documented 10 cases of cancer patients who unexpectedly survived when treated with CoQ10.2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It works by blocking the free radicals that can ultimately damage the DNA in your cells. It also helps re-energize the immune system cells that get suppressed by cancer. It restores their ability to fight back and attack the cancer cells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Researchers in Denmark studied a group of breast cancer patients. They gave them CoQ10, plus a combination of other antioxidants and essential-fatty acids. The result?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire group had a partial remission of the cancer. But here’s where things get very interesting…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two of the patients received larger doses of CoQ10 (390 mg). Their tumors disappeared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s what the researchers said regarding one of the patients:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“After three months, the patient was in excellent clinical condition and there was no residual tumor tissue.”3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remarkable isn’t it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet CoQ10 is one of the most overlooked nutrients. The government doesn’t even have a recommended daily intake for it. And in my practice, I’ve found that most of my new patients are deficient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only natural source of CoQ10 is red meat, especially organ meat. But today’s commercially-raised, grain-fed beef is a poor source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even worse, many popular drugs – especially cholesterol-lowering drugs like statins – cause your levels of CoQ10 to plunge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recommend getting 400 mg of regular CoQ10 daily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Alan Spreen&lt;br /&gt;_____________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note, most people, as Dr Spreen says, are deficient in antioxidants. As Dr Lester Packer, the Dean of Antioxidant Experts says, "He who has the most antioxidants in his body will live the longest healthiest life!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is help. The Kangen Ionized Alkalizing Machine, recognized as a Medical Device by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare, converts ordinary tap water into the most powerful antioxidant available!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What this water does is to immediately double or triple the effective amount of antioxidants in your body because it has the ability to regenerate your body's other antioxidants. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not well known, but when an antioxidant smashes (medical term!) a free radical, it loses its antioxidant power, even becoming a dangerous free radical itself in some cases.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For instance, Alpha Lipoic Acid or Glutathione, two lesser known antioxidants and in some cases vitamins C and E have to regenerate or rejuvenate the spent antioxidant. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, Kangen Water has a large supply of free electrons that can rejuvenate the body's other antioxidants, thereby greatly increasing the net amount available to the body resulting in a very strong immune system and protection against radical damage to organs and structures of the body. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once free radicals have been quelched, the body's Ph or acid alkaline balance can be addressed. In most of us, our blood's Ph balance has been put out of whack because of our diet and stress which causes it to become too acid. Excess acidity (acidosis) allows disease producing microbes and viruses to flourish, causing disease, which in turn produces more free radicals! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the body's Ph balance is restored and acidosis eliminated and free radicals vanquished, your body will heal itself as nature designed it to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To find out more about the very special properties of Kangen Water, click here: &lt;a href="http://TheBestWater.Org"&gt;http://TheBestWater.Org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leave comments or call me with any questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bill Young, Nutritional Therapy Coach&lt;br /&gt;646-961-3818&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-7868019423517019649?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/7868019423517019649/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/09/another-antioxidant-beats-cancer.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/7868019423517019649'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/7868019423517019649'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/09/another-antioxidant-beats-cancer.html' title='Another Antioxidant Beats Cancer!'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-8878265281167808400</id><published>2009-09-04T18:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-04T18:53:31.911-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vitamin C'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vitamin E'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='heart attack'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='alphp lipoic acid'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diabetes'/><title type='text'>The Low Down on Alpha Lipoic Acid</title><content type='html'>What It Is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alpha-lipoic acid (or lipoic acid) is the body's master anti-oxidant, able to neutralize harmful chemicals known as free radicals. Free radicals are at the root of many, many seemingly disparate diseases, such as high blood pressure, psychological  and brain disorders and diabetic neuropathy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is naturally produced in the body and found in small amounts in foods such as liver and spinach. assisting in the conversion of glucose to energy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It can fight free radicals that operate in both water and fat, as opposed to the anti-oxidants vitamin E (which works only in fat) and vitamin C (which works only in water). It also "stands in" for these antioxidants when they are unavailable. It also regenerates these other anti-oxidants after they have neutralized free radicals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What It Does:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diabetes:&lt;br /&gt;As an oral supplement alpha-lipoic acid has been used to reduce symptoms of diabetic neuropathy in diabetes patients in Europe for 2 decades. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It treats and alleviates symptoms such as burning, pain, numbness, and prickling of the feet and legs. The numbness is especially serious as it can allow sores and wounds to fester without the knowledge of the patient, necessitating amputation when gangrene sets in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is evidence that alpha-lipoic acid supplements may also help diabetic patients in many areas including helping convert sugar to glycogen. It also lessens damage to the heart, kidneys and small blood vessel which also affects the onset of diabetic retinopathy which has made diabetes the leading cause of blindness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alpha-lipoic acid may also improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes, but it doesn't seem to lower glycosylated hemoglobin (HgbA1c) levels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other Conditions:&lt;br /&gt;Alpha-lipoic acid may be helpful in treating burning mouth syndrome (BMS), a condition characterized by unexplained scalding sensations in the mouth. Preliminary studies suggest that it might also help prevent or treat a myriad of conditions including age-related hearing loss, glaucoma, cancer, and cataracts. Its antioxidant effects might provide protection in cerebral ischemia, other causes of damage to brain or neural tissue, mitochondrial dysfunction, liver disease, aminoglycoside-induced cochlear damage, heavy metal and chemical poisoning and radiation exposure. Alpha-lipoic acid inhibits replication of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in vitro and, in AIDS patients, might improve blood antioxidant status and increase T-helper lymphocytes and T-helper to T-helper suppressor cell ratio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To find out more about the underlying causes of most chronic diseases and how  antioxidants and alkalizers can help prevent, control or cure them, &lt;a href="http://AlkalizeForHealth.Info"&gt;click here:&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more info call me:&lt;br /&gt;Bill Young, Nutritional Therapy Coach&lt;br /&gt;646-961-3818&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2614923691565747635-8878265281167808400?l=diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/feeds/8878265281167808400/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/09/low-down-on-alpha-lipoic-acid.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/8878265281167808400'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2614923691565747635/posts/default/8878265281167808400'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diabetic-test-strips.blogspot.com/2009/09/low-down-on-alpha-lipoic-acid.html' title='The Low Down on Alpha Lipoic Acid'/><author><name>kemet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02958721407579741022</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dAvuLOSfuh8/TVL7kvg0-eI/AAAAAAAAAZk/AkN-wytQg-A/s220/Bill.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614923691565747635.post-3756727732085964415</id><published>2009-09-04T09:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-04T11:11:09.479-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='japanese'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ALKALINE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blood sugar'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='anti oxidants'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='free radicals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diabetic neuropathy'/><title type='text'>What is Diabetic Neuropathy?</title><content type='html'>Diabetic neuropathy (DN)is a peripheral nerve disorder which disproportionately afflicts diabetics. It is one of the many serious "Complications" of diabetes and often leads to amputation of limbs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The symptoms of diabetic neuropathy are often slight at first. In fact,&lt;br /&gt;some mild cases may go unnoticed for a long time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Numbness, pain or tingling in the feet or legs may, after several years, lead to weakness in the muscles of the feet. Occasionally, diabetic neuropathy can flare&lt;br /&gt;up suddenly and affect specific nerves so that an affected individual&lt;br /&gt;will develop double vision, drooping eyelids and weakness and atrophy&lt;br /&gt;of the thigh muscles. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nerve damage caused by diabetes generally occurs over a period of years and may lead to problems with the digestive tract and sexual organs, which can cause indigestion, diarrhea or constipation, dizziness, bladder infections and impotence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The loss of sensation in the feet may increase the possibility for foot injuries to go unnoticed and develop into ulcers or lesions that become infected, which then leads to amputations of feet and legs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diabetic neuropathy cannot be avoided strictly by controlling blood sugar, contrary to conventional wisdom. Although blood sugar control helps, it cannot stop the disease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Free radicals, waste products of the body's metabolism, poor diet, especially fried foods; ingested from the environment, especially cigarette smoke; attack the lipid or fat sheath surrounding nerve fibers.
