Diabetes is commonly thought to have no cure. It is progressive and often fatal, and while the patient lives, the mass of medical complications it sets off can attack every major organ. Though public health officials acknowledge that their ability to slow the disease is limited, and though doctors fear a huge wave of new cases will overwhelm public health systems, “Public health authorities around the country have all but ignored chronic illnesses like diabetes, focusing instead on communicable diseases, which kill far fewer people,” according to the New York Times. Hospitals around New York City are full of diabetic patients and on any given day, nearly half the patients are there for some trouble precipitated by the disease Magnesium is known to be necessary for nerve conduction; deficiency is known to cause peripheral neuropathy symptoms and studies suggest that a deficiency in magnesium may worsen blood glucose control in type 2 diabetes. Scientists believe that a deficiency of magnesium interrupts ins

Today, as I came into the living room I caught a bit of news on the TV: the show host was grilling Dr. Andrew Wakefield about his claim that vaccinations "may" cause autism. They had another authoritative sounding fellow practically shouting with indignation "how can Wakefield continue to claim the link in face of all the evidence that there is none?" And yet, 1 in 150 children fits the autistic label, up 100 fold from only 20-some years ago. Have you noticed the rising tide of autism in our society? Recently I was reminded of it quite directly, as one of my nieces announced that her child was "officially autistic". Which allegedly is a good thing, because there are government funded programs for helping these children (at least here in Canada ...) and please do not get me started on the issues around health insurance. Or do: write me your questions, and I will address them in our next newsletter. Anyway, the point I am trying to make is this: for some reason more and more people are developing this syndro

Let us restate something we wrote before: when your body becomes overwhelmed by a viral infection, it attempts to burn it off by raising its own temperature. The body survives, but the viruses do not. There could be other symptoms associated with your body's immune system trying to overwhelm the invaders with all kinds of unpleasant weapons. Excess fluids, mucus, phlegm, etc. But if this situation lasts too long, we can get all kinds of damage. Seizures are the early signs of brain damage. Some of it can be reversed, but if it lasts long enough, or if the primary cause is not removed, you will end up with permanent damage. The simulated viral infection is caused by the vaccination: it does not give you the illness itself, but it loads your immune system to such a degree that it can implode. The extreme case of it would be crib death (or SIDS). I would like to share with you a story of one such child. He did not live long enough to develop autism. His name was Ian. If you are contemplating your child's vacc

The most common conventional treatment for pain relief is over the counter or prescription drugs for pain, inflammation and sleep. Long-term use of these can lead to many complications, and can actually exacerbate the symptoms. Some prescription medications can even cause bleeding of the stomach, which alone can be quite serious. Although alternative health supplementation may not completely eradicate the problem, it can alleviate a large portion of the symptoms, and greatly ease the inflammation & pain. These therapies have the added benefit of providing long term health and vitality. Back Pain Relief Resources mentioned in today's show: Recovery and PlatinumPlus Amino Acids.

Fibromyalgia is considered by some as a syndrome or collection of symptoms and by others as a disease entity. The doctors of the world are getting serious about the condition and now have meetings such as the "Copenhagen Fibromyalgia Symposium". The outstanding symptoms are pain (in muscles and joints) and stiffness. It is generally accepted that this must be whole body pain with representatives on both sides and above and below the waist. The list of symptoms is impressive and diversified. Some doctors now include what is called "The Fibro Five" which are; Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Depression, Irritable Bowel, Interstitial Cystitis, Migraine Headache. Some include sleep disorders. In most severe cases the victims are not able to maintain employment. The Symptoms are varied and widespread: * Musculoskeletal pain and aching * Disturbed sleep patterns * Fatigue * Paraesthesis * Depression * Soft tissue swelling * Irritable bowel * TMJ and bruxism * Bursitis * Alle

Marine Phytoplankton has been the original life-sustaining food source in the ocean for millions of years. The key ingredients in CORE is Alpha-3 CMP™, a complete, whole food containing everything your body requires to keep cells vital and strong. It provides many elements that many of us now lack, including carotenoids, chlorophyll, enzymes, and cellular material not found in this combination in other Green Superfoods. This is the only known product with natural marine phytoplankton communities that contains a complete set of marine trace elements in proportion to those found naturally in human plasma. The mineral elements and electrolytes in Phytoplankton are almost tailor-made for the human body. In addition to being the most important Green Superfood available to harness solar energy and deliver essential nutrients, phytoplankton supplies our atmosphere with up to 90 percent of it’s oxygen. Which means most of the world’s oxygen doesn’t come from forests, grasslands or lush tropical jungles, but micros

People who drink at least two sugary sodas a week have an increased risk of developing cancer of the pancreas, and researchers suspect the culprit is sugar, a new study shows (http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jO0U3xAAFv0enNhVWgYTIEe5jo0A). Analyses of data collected on 60,524 Singapore Chinese adults showed that people who drank two or more sugar-sweetened soft drinks a week were at greater risk of developing pancreatic cancer compared with individuals who did not, the study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention says. No link was found between drinking juice and pancreatic cancer, which is one of the most rapidly fatal cancers in adults, with less than five percent of patients surviving five years or more after being diagnosed with the illness. The study was the first to look at the role fizzy drinks and juice play in the development of pancreatic cancer in Asians, whose diet and lifestyle are becoming more and more Western, the study says. Previous studies had looke

Contemplate for a moment that you exist as an entirely unique being. The higher template of your being is in perfectly splendid interaction with your one-in-trillions genetic code. This relationship organizes the trillion-trillion molecules and micro-energy-fields that are uniquely you. Your life encompasses a span of time proportional to the strength and clarity of your higher template's interaction with your physical cells. This interaction enables your system to resist the ever-present erosions of time and toxins mindlessly gnawing your life-bits out of organization, and back into nature's building block depository of randomness. The strength and clarity of your life processes require energy - Life-energy! http://life-enthusiast.com/index/Concerns/Causes/Missing_Enzymes Each week Martin Pytela and Scott Paton discuss Holistic principles for healthy living.

Our intensive industrial agricultural practices - narrow spectrum fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, large scale monoculture planting, tilling and more - the opposite of bio-dynamic farming - lead to decreasing mineralization, lowering of humus levels. Top soil is being washed away by rain and irrigation and blown away by wind. Produce grown on these soils still looks normal, but is hollow - the mineral content has been steadily declining. In 1936, the US Senate was presented with the results of a scientific study it had commissioned on minerals in our food by a Mr. Fletcher. The nutritional pioneers and geniuses of nutrition in this era demonstrated that countless human ills stem from the fact that impoverished soil in America no longer provided plant foods with the mineral elements essential to human nourishment and health!

Clinical studies have shown that LYRICA provides significant pain relief as early as 1 week in some patients. Talk to your doctor. Together, you can decide if LYRICA is right for you. LYRICA is not for everyone. LYRICA may cause serious, even life threatening, allergic reactions. Stop taking LYRICA and call your doctor right away if you have any signs of a serious allergic reaction. Some signs are swelling of your face, mouth, lips, gums, tongue or neck or if you have any trouble breathing, or have a rash, hives or blisters. Drugs used to treat seizures increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior. LYRICA may cause suicidal thoughts or actions in a very small number of people, about 1 in 500. Call your doctor right away if you have new or worsening depression, suicidal thoughts or actions, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. If you have suicidal thoughts or actions, do not stop LYRICA without first talking to your doctor. Some of the most common side effects of LYRICA are dizziness, blurry vision

In 1983 the shot schedule was ten. That's when autism was one in 10,000. Now there's 36, and autism is one in 150," argued American actress Jenny McCarthy, who blamed MMR for her own son’s autism, and gained the highest profile in the US movement. "All arrows point to one direction." Much of the success attributed to vaccination programs may actually have been due to improvement in public health related to water quality and sanitation, less crowded living conditions, better nutrition, and higher standards of living. Typically the incidence of a disease was clearly declining before the vaccine for that disease was introduced. In England the incidence of polio had decreased by 82 % before the polio vaccine was introduced in 1956. Each week Martin Pytela and Scott Paton discuss Holistic principles for healthy living.

The Triumvirate of Disease The three-headed monster that causes untold suffering - degenerative and inflammatory disease - for millions of us can be conquered. You can directly influence it with your choices. It is not easy, because the mainstream culture conspires against you. From your earliest days you are taught to behave in ways that will haunt you later. It starts with well meaning doctors injecting you with toxic vaccinations, good relatives using sweets-as-rewards, the food processors adding neurotoxins to your drink or food, farmers growing hollow foods on depleted soils, grocers soaking their carrots in chlorinated water to keep them clean, teachers sterilizing every surface with anti-bacterials, soap makers adding "fragrance" to your detergent, and everybody else asking you to sit, take a ride, and avoid hard work. What you get is... Toxicity, Malnutrition, & Stagnation There are two ways the combination of these three major influences will translate into your life: either through a massive cat

AUGUSTA, Maine -- A Maine legislator wants to make the state the first to require cell phones to carry warnings that they can cause brain cancer, although there is no consensus among scientists that they do and industry leaders dispute the claim. The now-ubiquitous devices carry such warnings in some countries, though no U.S. states require them, according to the National Conference of State Legislators. A similar effort is afoot in San Francisco, where Mayor Gavin Newsom wants his city to be the nation's first to require the warnings. Maine Rep. Andrea Boland, D-Sanford, said numerous studies point to the cancer risk, and she has persuaded legislative leaders to allow her proposal to come up for discussion during the 2010 session that begins in January, a session usually reserved for emergency and governors' bills. The Federal Communications Commission, which maintains that all cell phones sold in the U.S. are safe, has set a standard for the "specific absorption rate" of radiofrequency energy, but it do

CHICAGO – A diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids helps keep the DNA of heart patients from unraveling, which may help explain why fish oil is so beneficial after a heart attack, U.S. researchers said Tuesday. "Cardiologists have known for a long time now that omega-3 fish oil seems to be beneficial for patients with coronary heart disease," said Dr. Ramin Farzaneh-Far of the University of California, San Francisco, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. "A number of studies over the last 20 years or so have shown that after patients have had a heart attack, taking fish oil through diet or supplements is able to reduce the risk of a subsequent heart attack or death from coronary heart disease," Farzaneh-Far said in a telephone interview. What has not been clear is why fish oil is so beneficial. Read more here: Fish Oil and Heart Attacks Each week Martin Pytela and Scott Paton discuss Holistic principles for healthy living.
