How SUNSHINE can make your workouts more Effective
By: Shane Ellison - The People's Chemist
Copyright © 2008 www.thepeopleschemist.com
It's frustrating to watch obese people suffer in the gym and receive absolutely no benefit. Eventually they give up. It doesn't have to be like this. In fact, if they learn how to use one miracle substance properly, they could go to the gym less and have a lot more to show for it - including mega fat loss and lean, sexy muscle.
That miracle substance is sunshine!
Proper sun exposure plays a crucial role in ensuring that your body responds to exercise. It helps by increasing insulin sensitivity. The primary mechanism involved is the production of a neuropeptide known as MSH - melanocyte stimulating hormone - and vitamin D. Combined, these "youthanizing" biochemicals help to lower levels of the fat storing hormone insulin. And sunshine is the only thing that can force our bodies to produce them in the right quantity and ratio.
Lowering insulin during exercise also guarantees a boost in age-defying hormones known as human growth hormone, testosterone, and IGF-1. Without sunshine, you could be wasting valuable time in the gym due to high insulin levels. Going to the gym with high insulin would be like trying to fight cancer while being exposed to Agent Orange. Insulin inhibits the release of age-defying hormones as well as our fat burning compounds known as catecholamines.
Proper sun exposure simply means that you expose 90% of your body to direct sunlight for 20 to 40 minutes every other day. Make this happen and you'll enjoy rewarding workouts met with fat loss and muscle gain. ...

Triclosan
Toxic Gender Bender Approved for Widespread Use
By Shane "The People's Chemist" Ellison
www.thepeopleschemist.com © 2008
Triclosan is used in a nauseating array of household products such as toothpastes, soaps and lotions. Synthesized over 30 years ago, it was once thought to be a safe and effective antibiotic. But a recent UC Davis study shows otherwise.
Scientists discovered that triclosan accumulates in the body - even when applied topically - to eventually disrupt hormone activity. Once absorbed, the synthetic toxin throws our thyroid and sex hormones out of whack, potentially leading to obesity, infertility, cancer and age acceleration. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently discovered that a ghastly 75% of random people tested were positive for triclosan!
... triclosan was recently approved by the EPA for use in over 140 household products.
There is simply no law that requires its removal, despite the real and present danger.
The best way to avoid triclosan and many other toxins is to choose organic. Natural soaps and the antibiotic zinc oxide work as good as triclosan at beating infection. Most importantly, neither of them will poison you.
And whether you're poisoning yourself voluntarily or unknowingly, the best way to protect the body from toxins is by boosting glutathione within the cells - this biological cleaning agent escorts foreign molecules out of the body and into the toilet. This is best achieved by consuming cruciferous vegetables, whey isolate and alpha-lipoic acid.
Should I Vaccinate my child?
By Shane "The People's Chemist" Ellison
© August 2008
Vaccine talk is riddled with shoddy science, emotional arguments, convoluted explanations and all out quackery. Very little common sense shines its way through the murky vaccine debate.
Rather than question the safety and efficacy of vaccines, most physicians and parents blindly "immunize" children. Rarely do they ask the lifesaving question of, "Will a vaccine protect my child?" As a pharmaceutical chemist and parent, I researched that question six years ago. The answer was an astounding no.
Vaccines are purported to work by triggering immunity.
It is "thunk" by the experts that by exposing our immune system to weak or dead infectious agents, such as measles or a flu virus, that it creates the appropriate immune defense. This logic has been used to defend the use of every vaccine to date. Yet, each vaccine has proven that the theory is nothing more than mental euphoria for nerdy scientists; it sounds good and feels better, but it's not the real thing. At best, vaccines only temporarily boost our defenses, which hardly compensates for the myriad of potential side effects. Few people are aware of - or willing to accept - these cold, hard facts.
Polio is the most feared childhood illness.
It has caused paralysis and death for much of human history.
The world experienced a dramatic increase in polio cases beginning in 1910.
Frequent epidemics became regular events. They were the impetus for a "Great Race" towards the development of a polio vaccine. It was developed in 1953 and an oral version soon after. Yet, unbeknownst to most, polio infection plummeted before the vaccines were introduced - thanks to better sanitation and nutrition. Good thing, because both forms were a total failure. In addition to causing the very same infection they were supposed to prevent - polio - they can also lead to sudden death and cancer.
The polio virus still exists today.
But few of us suffer from it. Our protection resides in the same things that were responsible for its decline; a healthy immune system courtesy of proper sanitation and nutrition.
The whooping cough (pertussis) vaccine.
This same scenario was repeated in the case of the whooping cough (pertussis) vaccine.
Between the years of 1900 and 1935, mortality rates due to whooping cough dropped by 79% in the U.S. Yet, the vaccine wasn't introduced until 1940 (DTP and DTaP). Today, those most susceptible to whooping cough are the "immunized." In 2002, researchers with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention publicly stated that "The number of infants dying from whooping cough, once a major killer of children in the United States, is rising despite record high vaccination levels in the nation."
The measles vaccine is no different.
In 1957, the MMR vaccine became widely used in an effort to eradicate measles, mumps and rubella. Rather than prevent measles, it elicited a widespread epidemic. Between 1983 and 1990, there was a 423% increase in measles cases among those vaccinated. Today, the World Health Organization (WHO) actually warns that vaccinated individuals are 14 times more likely to contract this disease compared to the unvaccinated.
The Centers for Disease Control insisted that the MMR vaccine would also eliminate mumps in the US by the year 2010. Then, in 2006, the largest mumps outbreak in 20 years occurred. Among those who suffered from mumps, 63% were "immunized."
The flu vaccine.
From its inception to now, the flu vaccine has proven just as worthless.
In 2007, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that the flu vaccine had "no or low effectiveness" against influenza or influenza-like illness. The analysis of data showed that the vaccine protected from zero to fourteen percent of vaccine participants.
Considering the overt failure of vaccination, the idea of main lining an ineffective and dangerous vaccine into our vulnerable children is chilling. Regardless, Big Pharma is hell bent on pushing more. Be forewarned, each and every vaccine will follow the same ineffective trend simply because they work against our immune system, not with it.
Vaccines will never be the panacea they are marketed as. Fortunately, as long as a child has proper eating and sanitation, their immune system can ward off biological threats. And in the rare case it doesn't, emergency medicine can tackle the infection. This is health made simple. But, in a society hell-bent on trading health for wealth, it is often over looked; just like the logic that teaches, "Vaccines don't protect children."
Artificial Sweetener Explodes Internally.
By Shane Ellison, M.Sc.
Copyright 2006© www.healthmyths.net
If there were a contest for the best example of total disregard for human life the victor would be McNeil Nutritionals – makers of Splenda™. Manufacturers of Vioxx™ and Lipitor™ would tie for a very distant second.
McNeil Nutritionals is the undisputed drug-pushing champion for disguising their drug Splenda™ as a sweetener. Regardless of its drug qualities and potential for side-effects, McNeil is dead set on putting it on every kitchen table in America. Apparently, Vioxx™ and Lipitor™ makers can't stoop so low as to deceptively masquerade their drug as a candy of sort. There is no question that their products are drugs and by definition come with negative side-effects. Rather than sell directly to the consumer, these losers have to go through the painful process of using doctors to prescribe their dangerous goods.
A keen student in corporate drug dealing, McNeil learned from aspartame and saccharine pushers that if a drug tastes sweet then let the masses eat it in their cake. First though, you have to create a facade of natural health. They did this using a cute trade name that kind of sounds like splendid and packaged it in pretty colors. Hypnotized, the masses were duped instantly. As unquestionably as a dog humps your leg, millions of diabetics (and non-diabetics) blindly eat sucralose under the trade name Splenda™ in place of real sugar (sucrose).
Splenda™ was strategically released on April fools day in 1998.
This day is reserved worldwide for hoaxes and practical jokes on friends and family, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible. McNeil certainly succeeded.
The splendid Splenda™ hoax is costing gullible Americans $187 million annually. (1) While many people "wonder" about the safety of Splenda™ they rarely question it. Despite its' many "unknowns" and inherent dangers, Splenda™ demand has grown faster than its supply. No longer do I have to question my faith in fellow Man. He is not a total idiot, just a gullible one. McNeil jokesters are laughing all the way to the bank.
Splenda is not as harmless as McNeil wants you to believe.
A mixture of sucralose, maltodextrine and dextrose (a detrimental simple sugar), each of the not-so-splendid Splenda™ ingredients has downfalls. Aside from the fact that it really isn't "sugar and calorie free," here is one big reason to avoid the deceitful mix…Think April fools day:
Splenda™ contains a potential poison.
Splenda™ contains the drug sucralose.
This chemical is 600 times sweeter than sugar.
To make sucralose, chlorine is used. Chlorine has a split personality.
It can be harmless or it can be life threatening.
In combo with sodium, chlorine forms a harmless "ionic bond" to yield table salt. Sucralose makers often highlight this worthless fact to defend its' safety. Apparently, they missed the second day of Chemistry 101 – the day they teach "covalent" bonds.
When used with carbon, the chlorine atom in sucralose forms a "covalent" bond. The end result is the historically deadly "organochlorine" or simply: a Really-Nasty Form of Chlorine (RNFOC).
Unlike ionic bonds, covalently bound chlorines are a big no-no for the human body. They yield insecticides, pesticides, and herbicides – not something you want in the lunch box of your precious child. It's therefore no surprise that the originators of sucralose, chemists Hough and Phadnis, were attempting to design new insecticides when they discovered it! It wasn't until the young Phadnis accidentally tasted his new "insecticide" that he learned it was sweet. And because sugars are more profitable than insecticides, the whole insecticide idea got canned and a new sweetener called Splenda got packaged.
To hide its' origin, Splenda™ pushers assert that sucralose is "made from sugar so it tastes like sugar." Sucralose is as close to sugar as Windex™ is to ocean water.
The RNFOC poses a real and present danger to all Splenda™ users.
It is risky because the RNFOC confers a molecule with a set of super powers that wreak havoc on the human body. For example, Agent Orange, used in the U.S Army's herbicidal warfare program, is a RNFOC. Exposure can lead to Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkins lymphoma as well as diabetes and various forms of cancer! Other shocking examples are the war gas phosgene, chlordane and lindane. (2) The RNFOC is lethal because it allows poisons to be fat soluble while rendering the natural defense mechanisms of the body helpless.
A poison that is fat soluble is akin to a bomb exploding internally.
It invades every nook and cranny of the body. Cell walls and DNA – the genetic map of human life – become nothing more than potential casualties of war when exposed. Sucralose is only 25% water soluble. (3) Which means a vast majority of it may explode internally. In general, this results in weakened immune function, irregular heart beat, agitation, shortness of breath, skin rashes, headaches, liver and kidney damage, birth defects, cancer, cancer and more cancer – for generations! (1)
McNeil asserts that their studies prove it to be safe for everyone, even children. That's little assurance. Learning from the Vioxx™ debacle (and many others highlighted in my book Health Myths Exposed) which killed tens of thousands, we know that studies can be bought and results fabricated.
Some things are worth dying for. Splenda is not one of them.
What people think of as a food is a drug or slow poison – little distinction there. It wouldn't be wise to bet your health on it. If safe, sucralose would be the first molecule in human history that contained a RNFOC fit for human consumption. This fact alone makes sucralose questionable for use as a sweetener, if not instantly detrimental to our health. Only time will tell. Until then, Ill stick to the safe and naturally occurring stevia plant to satisfy my occasional sweet tooth in 2007.
Be forewarned though, as long as drugs can be legally disguised as sweeteners, watch out for drugs being disguised as vitamins …Oh wait, they are already doing that – think Lipitor.

Hydrolyzed vs Cross flow: Whey Isolate FAQ
Question: "What about cross flow micro-filtration? And whey
protein hydrolysate? Please give me your understanding of what is
best."
Hydrolyzed means that the amino acids and proteins (simply a chain
of amino acids) have been CHOPPED up by an acid before packaging.
This is an INSULT to the best food on the planet. Chopping
destroys the structure of amino acids and proteins...The structure
is why they work (detox, anti-cancer, skin, hair nails, organ
function, and a whole lot more)...The sales hype dictates that
this destructive process is best for digestion - small size easy
digestion. Stupid. That is why we have enzymes ... to digest.
Cross flow micro-filtration is simply a filtration process. It
filters ALL the good stuff (without damaging it) from fat and
cholesterol. This is not to say that fat and cholesterol are
bad...Its just saying that since Whey Advanced by HealthFX is an
amino acid and protein supplement we want to ensure that the
client ONLY gets amino acids and protein. Therefore we use cross
flow micro-filtration.
Green Tea Beats Prostate Cancer.
By Jon Herring of www.earlytorise.com
Asian cultures have promoted the many health benefits of
green tea for thousands of years. In the last decade, modern
science has been catching up. Hundreds of studies now
confirm that you should be drinking a few cups of green tea
every day. And two recent studies show that it provides
particularly powerful prostate protection.
Italian researchers studied 62 men with a pre-cancerous
prostate condition. (Normally, this condition would result in
cancer in 30 percent of cases.) Half the men were given a
placebo, while half consumed green tea extract daily. In the
placebo group, 9 out of 30 men developed cancer. In the
green tea group, only 1 out of 32 developed the disease. This
is consistent with the results of an Australian study of
Chinese men which found that those who consumed the most
green tea were two-thirds less likely to develop prostate
cancer.

Insulin and catecholamine resistance,
and its correction.
Hello, I'm a 48 year old male. I'm 50 lbs overweight.
My blood sugar averages 300 (normal 85 to 95). My testosterone levels are lower than that of a 13 year old girl. My "hemoglobin A1C is a whopping 12.2" (normal 4.4-5.8). My mental focus is low and my cholesterol supposedly "high."
My trusted family doctor is telling me that that all I need to do is take a cholesterol lowering drug and Adderall for "ADD." I know better than that, I read your Hidden Truth about Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs (see amazon.com). Please help me identify the real problem here....
Answer:
Medically, you are considered a type II diabetic.
In contrast to type I diabetes your pancreas has been producing plenty of insulin – over many years.
Insulin is the "nutrient taxi."
It transports glucose (blood sugar) and other life saving nutrients from the bloodstream into muscle cells. Unfortunately, due to the excess insulin, your cells have become numb to it. A metabolic nightmare has set in.
Not responding to insulin, glucose and life saving nutrients are no longer being taxied into the cell. Instead, they are floating in the bloodstream. They will eventually be excreted via your urine. But not before they wreak havoc within your body. Blood sugar that floats aimlessly in the bloodstream yields "glycation."
Glycation is simply the chemical reaction between sugar and amino acids in your blood. The product of this reaction is a life-threatening compound known as an Advanced-Glycated End Product (AGE Product). To measure how much glycation you have, doctors and nutritionists look at hemoglobin A1C (yours is off the charts!). Increased A1C can be used to measure how much damage your body has suffered from the "lost blood sugar."
Uncontrolled, the AGE Products will elicit fatigue, depression, blurred vision/blindness, joint pain (osteoarthritis) and heart disease.
There are many causes of type II diabetes.
It may be a sedentary lifestyle, fast food (trans fats) consumption, excess sugar and/or the use of amphetamines. Aging accelerates so fast among those who suffer from type II diabetes that they can erase 10 years from their lives!
In light of the wanton use of amphetamines like Ritalin and Adderall it is important to note that their use can build "catecholamine resistance." This means that a person's naturally occurring amphetamine-like molecules are no longer able to stimulate metabolism due to the administration of these popular drugs. Like the boy who cried wolf, your body is no longer responding to the metabolic help-message sent by catecholamines.
In summary, you are suffering from rampant insulin and catecholamine resistance. Said another way: Your metabolism and hormones have been turned off. You are operating on one of eight cylinders. The AM-PM Fat Loss Discovery WILL reverse this health catastrophe. The 10 simple habits outlined for 24 hour fat loss are EASY to follow. Combined, they will shed the fat, increase your hormone levels and kick start your mental focus.

Zinc: The Most Important Supplement for Children
Zinc supplementation (20 mg daily for 14 days during each episode of diarrhea) given to nutrient starved children in Bangladeshi prevented absolute death by 50% and decreased the need for antibiotics by 60% among those who suffered from diarrhea.
Zinc also prevents pneumonia among children by up to 41%.
Scientists from the Johns Hopkins School of Health stated that the sum effect of zinc supplementation on childhood health has a greater preventative effect for pneumonia, which kills millions of children per year, than any other current intervention. Such results often go ignored in the pharmaceutically dominated media.

Four Aggressive Approaches to Warding Off Cancer.
Everyone has cancer. Johns Hopkins recently reminded us of this fact while studying how most of us beat the deadly outcome: the immune system. When it identifies a cancerous cell, it attacks and eliminates it from the body. But every now and then, this system gets hoodwinked by rogue cancer cells.
Rogue cancer cells have the ability to become invisible and therefore overcome our immune system defenses. This superpower helps it invade other regions of the body. Internally, we become a playground for cancerous infection and disease. Slow death ensues. Fortunately, anyone can overcome it.
Trophoblast cells.
To beat rogue cancer cells, you need to eliminate their ability to become invisible. What keeps cancer cells out of sight from your immune system? Trophoblast cells. You can expose cancer for what it is - deadly - by boosting your pancreatic enzymes. Pancreatic enzymes eliminate trophoblast cells and thus reveal any underlying cancer cells to your "immunity radar" for eventual eradication.
Several natural medicines have been identified that attack trophoblast cells.
The most effective are flavonoids found in
- broccoli;
- whey isolate;
- B-17 from the apricot seed;
- and curcumin (which is available at Wal-Mart).
Considering their aggressive attack on invisible cancer cells, boosting pancreatic enzymes should be a daily habit among anyone who wants to ward off the everyday occurrence of cancer.

The Master Antioxidant
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) has been considered the master antioxidant. It is unique in that, unlike any other antioxidant, ALA is both fat and water soluble; thereby allowing it to operate in all environments in the body.
ALA inhibits the "hydroxyl radical."
The hydroxyl radical is considered to be the most damaging of the free radicals due to its ability to initiate heart disease.
Adding to the myriad of benefits, ALA regenerates (through redox cycling) other antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E, thus helping to prevent a deficiency in any one of these vital nutrients.
ALA also maintains and even increases our bodies' own antioxidant: glutathione. Glutathione's best attribute is its ability to protect us from cancer. Glutathione is the chief detoxifier for the human body. Through a process known as "conjugation" it attaches to deadly chemicals and escorts them out of the body and into the toilet.
No other antioxidant confers so many benefits to users.
The best natural sources of ALA are spinach, broccoli, and beef.

Save $64,000 With 3 Cardiovascular Cures ...
.. your health is an investment. ..
According to a recent report by CNN Money,
"The retirement health tab can run between $64,000 and $122,000 for a 65-year-old man whose former employer pays his insurance premiums, and between $86,000 and $140,000 for a woman of the same age. For retirees who don't have access to an employer-offered plan, the costs - mostly for prescription drugs - run even higher."
In addition to exorbitant drug expenses, most adult Americans have one foot in the grave. Obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer are at an all-time high. And it's expected to get worse. The Journal of the American Medical Association predicted that one in three born in the year 2000 will succumb to Type II diabetes, which is simply a "gateway" disease to all the pandemic killers. This rampant sickness is being met with an arsenal of cholesterol-lowering drugs, blood pressure meds, anti-depressants, and hypoglycemics. None have been proven to increase lifespan. ...
Low-Cost Cardiovascular Cure #1: Psyllium Husk
Psyllium husk is a soluble fiber, meaning it is an indigestible, complex carbohydrate. Once consumed, it undergoes fermentation in the large intestine, yielding a broad range of heart-healthy benefits, most notably the control of appetite, blood sugar, and insulin. ...
Psyllium husk is one of my favorite supplements because of its ability to help control blood glucose. Excess glucose in the bloodstream can become "oxidized." This oxidation leads to a change in the molecular structure of the glucose - causing what is known as advanced glycation end products (AGE products). Like a knife carving clay, AGE products scar arterial walls. The scarring results in plaque buildup and excess blood clotting. This mechanism is why diabetics have a 4.5 times increase of suffering from heart attack and stroke relative to non-diabetics.
Go to your local health food store and purchase psyllium husk. In the bulk isle, psyllium can be purchased for about $3 per month.
Low-Cost Cardiovascular Cure #2: B Vitamins
B vitamins are required for proper functioning of the brain, nervous system, and the formation of blood. They are also involved in the metabolism of every cell of the human body, especially for proper DNA synthesis and regulation, but also for fatty acid synthesis and energy production. Harvard researchers writing in the Journal of the American Medical Association stated that women could cut their risk of heart disease by half with daily consumption of B vitamins.
B vitamins are responsible for igniting a chemical cascade within the body known as methylation. This process rids the arteries of the damaging molecule known as homocysteine. The lower your levels of homocysteine, the less risk you have of suffering from cardiovascular disease.
Start supplementing with B vitamins today.
A daily B vitamin supplement should cost no more than $10 per month.
Low-Cost Cardiovascular Cure #3: Flavonoids
Flavonoids are plant-derived pigments.
More than 4,000 have been studied for their cardiovascular and anti-cancer benefits. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported a 20 percent decrease in heart disease mortality risk among those who consumed at least 7.5 mg daily.
Flavonoids preserve the cardiovascular system and heart through three major actions: improving blood flow in order to enhance oxygen and nutrient delivery throughout the 100,000 miles of adult veins, arteries and capillaries... preventing the formation of artery-scarring, oxidized LDL ... and relaxing the coronary arteries to prevent high blood pressure.
The best sources of flavonoids are broccoli, hawthorn, grapeseed extract, black tea, citrus fruits, and organic dark chocolate.

Mother Nature Knock-Offs
Ritalin and many other stimulants are knock-offs of the active ingredients found in ma huang AKA ephedra. Ma huang is a safe and effective stimulant that increases mental focus.
Cholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins are knock-offs of the natural ingredient found in red yeast rice. Akin to the drugs, red yeast rice can dangerously lower cholesterol levels.
Aspirin, the drug that your doctor tells you to take EVERYDAY, is a knock-off of the active ingredient found in white willow bark. White willow bark is a safe and effective pain reliever.
Baicalein, an anti-cancer drug used among those who suffer from leukemia, is a knock-off of the active ingredient found in the roots of Chinese skullcap (Scuterllaria baicalensis). Chinese skullcap is a safe and effective natural cancer fighter that induces cell suicide (apoptosis) among leukemia-derived cancer cells.
The tiny family of prescription pain killers used by doctors are knock offs of the natural ingredients found in opium (opium is far safer than current fast acting drug knock-offs).

Toxin in Corn, Atrazine herbicide.
http://thepeopleschemist.com/blog/2008/08/25/toxin-in-corn.html
Although the European Union had banned the use of atrazine in food several years ago, our governing body known as the Environmental Protections Agency (EPA) has not removed this toxin from our agricultural systems. Protecting our developing children from the birth defects, deformities and cancer that can result from atrazine doesn’t seem to motivate the governing body to take action.
What is atrazine? It is a triazine herbicide used to spray most of the crops produced in America
How are we exposed? We eat, drink and in some cases breath (crop dusting) it. It is used primarily on corn crops
What is the deadly amount? Americans consume outrageous quantities of this nasty stuff each year. Due to the fat solubility of this chemical it doesn’t easily wash off and once it enters your body it is stored in your fat cells.
How does it kill? Atrazine kills most notably by cancer; it has also been shown to interfere with the cellular uptake of dopamine - having the effect of causing Parkinson’s. It also inhibits the mitochondrial ATP production of sperm - meaning sperm don’t have enough energy to swim through the reproductive organs (think infertility).
How can I avoid? Eat only organic produce, don’t drink well water and know where your produce is coming from. Eating organic is worth the extra 29 cents for that avocado, or tomato.
Unfortunately, the department of agriculture is still feeding the paradox that organic farmers cannot compete with the growth from that of non-organic farmers. To balance supply and demand non-organic farmers are actually paid not to release much of the crops they grow each year. Atrazine isn’t going away. Eat organic.

High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS)
wrinkle fertilizer
Known as high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), this synthetic sweetener masquerades as being natural and healthy. But a chemical reaction discovered in 1914 by the French chemist Louis Camille Maillard proves otherwise. Every time you consume the corn syrup, it acts as wrinkle fertilizer, courtesy of "glycation" - the process by which sugars like HFCS bind to amino acids in the bloodstream and become Advanced Glycation End (AGE) products. This class of toxins has been linked to inflammation, insulin resistance, diabetes, vascular and kidney disease, and Alzheimer's.
Hardly natural, HFCS is made in a lab. Corn syrup is chemically altered in such a way that it becomes "high-fructose" corn syrup." This leads to a much higher rate of AGE production than occurs with plain old sugar. As sure as night follows day, AGE products bind to collagen, causing it to get twisted and tangled. This shows up as age spots, wrinkles, and everything else that makes skin look old and crumbly. ...
Boosting Memory ..
alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) & acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR)
2008-11-03 E-newsletter
Whether it's simple forgetfulness or the all-out scourge of Alzheimer's, the loss of mental acuity as we age ruins quality of life. To the surprise of most, studies show that this decline can be slowed or even prevented with the energizing combo of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) and acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR).
In addition to boosting energy within the brain (courtesy of ATP), ALCAR increases neurotransmitters like acetylcholine while protecting neurons from oxidative stress. This makes the ALA/ALCAR combo a potent weapon against Alzheimer's induced memory loss. In fact, I'd choose it over the commonly used medications, which are known technically as acetylcholinesterase inhibitor s (AChEs).
Little is known about what causes Alzheimer's, but all sufferers appear to have low levels of acetylcholine. Using AChEs, the drug industry attempts to increase this essential brain chemical by preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine within the brain. Theoretically, this would enhance or preserve memory. But if there is little or no acetylcholine to preserve, the drugs are useless. Perhaps that is why they have only marginal benefits - benefits that do not outweigh their immense risks.
Believe it or not, AChEs are synthetic copycats of naturally occurring poisons and venoms! Their use is rationalized by the "a lot kills, a little cures" mentality. But evidence doesn't support this. Research consistently shows users to suffer short-term side effects, including diarrhea, anorexia, vomiting, and tremors. Long-term side effects include kidney damage and even cancer.
Where these drugs fail, the energizing ALA/ALCA R combo succeeds.
Once ingested, both ALA and ALCAR pass the blood-brain barrier to nourish brain cells, thereby helping them manufacture more acetylcholine - to preserve and restore life's most precious memories as we age.
Pure forms of ALA and ALCAR can be purchased for about $15 per month.
About 200 mg of ALA with 2 to 3 grams of ALCAR daily have proven wildly effective.
You'll notice the brain benefits in a matter of days.

Magnesium benefits
Vital for the Cardiovascular System
2008-11-17
Magnesium appears to be vital for proper cardiovascular function.
Reported by the National Institute of Health, magnesium maintains normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, ensures the integrity of the arterial wall by controlling blood pressure and keeps bones strong.
It also helps regulate blood sugar levels and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis.
The most advantageous forms of magnesium are avocados, mineral water and magnesium-L-asparate (500 - 1000 mg daily are recommended).
"How can I live to be a 100 years old?"
My answer is simple,
"Learn to control blood sugar and insulin."
U.S. Wellness Meats Newsletter, Nov 16, 2008
The biggest threat to longevity is high blood sugar and insulin.
Type II diabetes - or more accurately insulin resistance - it has become a nationwide epidemic that steals 11 to 20 years from a person's lifespan. It is one of the main culprits behind depression, obesity, heart disease and even cancer. Understanding two simple facts about the pandemic killer may help you avoid it - and live to be 100 years old rather than 65 or 70!
Fact #1: Anti-Diabetic Drugs like Avandia and Actos are Deadly
To curb the threat, family physicians are madly prescribing Avandia and Actos in hopes of reversing type II diabetes - total sales have reached over $4 billion annually. Unknown to most,
Avandia users have a whopping 30-40% increased risk of heart attack and other heart-related adverse events (heart failure) compared to patients treated with placebo. This side-effect is partly due to the drugs ability to lower "hemoglobin."
Hemoglobin is used by the body to transport oxygen throughout the entire 100,000 miles of adult veins, arteries, and capillaries. Without it, a condition known as "ischemia" sets in. This is a fancy term for "suffocation." Clinically, heart attack or heart failure can result from the lack of oxygen.
Actos belongs to the same class of medicine as Avandia - glitazones.
Not surprisingly, it carries the same risks. Health Canada sounded the alarm as early as 2001! But the danger is being hidden from the American public.
Commenting on the unannounced danger, the U.S. Congress stated that the,
"FDA's apparently callous disregard for the safety of diabetics taking Avandia is very reminiscent of the Agency's failure to move on Vioxx when substantial safety signals first became known. Like Vioxx, Avandia may have unnecessarily risked the lives of tens of thousands of Americans."
Omega-6 Oils .. as cancer inducing.
2008-12-28 US Wellness Grassland Beef newsletter.
... small amounts of omega-6 fatty acids from seeds and plants are essential to our body. When combined with omega-3 fatty acids from fish, omega-6's appear to play an integral role in maintaining health. Combined, these two fats can help regulate proper brain development, energy production, immune function and put out the fires of inflammation.
However, large quantities of omega-6 fats can become poisonous.
Omega-6 fatty acids promote oxidative stress by disabling the body's second defense against cancer - the antioxidant. Adding insult to injury, omega-6 fats increase inflammation within skin cells. Inflammation can be the driving force for the growth of skin cancer and its ability to spread to nearby tissues and organs.
Like skin cancer (and many other forms of cancer), this omega-6 threat did not exist 100 years ago. Our ancestors only consumed small quantities of omega-6 in the form of whole corn, seeds, or legumes. Their ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 was about 1:1. Today, a large segment of the population consumes a ratio of 20:1.
The omega-6 overdose exists thanks to the advent of technology - chemical extraction methods to be exact. Instead of consuming omega-6 in its natural state - from plants and seeds - the primary sources today are plant and seed oils such as corn, safflower, and sunflower oil. A single tablespoon of omega-6-laden corn oil is derived from a whopping 12 to 18 ears of corn. Make sure you get these cancer fertilizing oils out of your house.
The ideal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids remains to be determined. One thing is certain, the overdose of omega-6 manifests into poor health as well as dry, brittle skin that predispose us to skin cancer.
The best thing you can do to protect against skin cancer and many other forms is rid your diet of omega-6-laden plant and seed oils while consuming more protective omega-3 fatty acids and naturally occurring saturated fats from seeds, nuts, butter, fish, grass fed beef and coconut oil.
Preserving Vision with Xanthophylls.
US Wellness (Grassland Meats) newsletter, 2009-01-25
For many, vision fails as they get older.
But despite what you may have been led to believe, this is not an inevitable part of aging.
Whether it's the result of macular degeneration, cataracts, or glaucoma, vision loss is usually the result of not having enough 'dye in your eye.' This 'dye' not only helps you interpret the world around you, it also contains vitally important antioxidants that protect visual anatomy.
Just as there are many different colors of crayons, there are different types of eye dyes. These pigments fall into a chemical category known as xanthophylls , and cannot be preserved without proper nutrition.
You must get xanthophylls from your diet.
Fortunately, food sources of xanthophylls are easy to find.
Just load up on eggs, kale, spinach, turnip greens, collard greens, romaine lettuce, broccoli, zucchini, corn, garden peas, Brussels sprouts, and grass-fed beef liver.
