Make health Your Number One Priority

Posted on by admin

Ill tell you why. We are focusing on the wrong goal. For whatever reason, we must not perceive our weight loss as being “important enough” to achieve. So what would be “important enough” to stick to our new healthy eating habits? Your HEALTH! Nothing in this world is more important than the state of your health. Think about it, your health affects everything else in your life. Once our health is compromised we automatically change our lifestyle habits. Just look at President Clinton. Not until he had the ultimate health scare did he really change his eating and exercise habits. Lets not wait until our bodies completely have a break down before we decide to take care of ourselves. If you feel lousy, everything you do that day is lousy. Likewise, if you feel great, everything you do that day is great. So this year, lets not focus on just losing a few pounds, lets focus on Health, the #1 thing in our lives.

So ask yourself, “How important is my health to me? How do I want to live the rest of my life? Sick and feeling horrible or healthy and feeling vibrant? Do I want to play golf and tennis in my retirement or do I want to spend it in the hospital?” The answer to these questions will ultimately dictate your weight and your health for the future. Any lifestyle habit that affects your health in a positive way will automatically cause you to lose weight or maintain a good healthy weight.

Follow this checklist towards health and you will see weight come off automatically.

1.Make the time to focus on health.
The number one reason people do not eat healthy or exercise is because they “dont have the time”. But why is it that once we get sick, have a heart attack, are diagnosed with heart disease, diabetes or cancer, we all of a sudden have the time? This doesnt make any sense. We wait until our bodies have become so ill to finally take measures towards taking care of it. This is the equivalent to never getting an oil change or servicing your car and letting it completely break down before doing anything about it. Prioritize your day. What could possibly be more important than your health? Your children, yes, I agree. But guess what? If something happens to you, who will be there for your children? I know that sounds terrible but its true. How many times have we heard stories of young children losing parents to heart attacks and strokes? Choose health not only for yourself but for your children as well. Prioritize your day so that making healthy meal choices and exercising are right at the top.

2.Take a long hard look at what you are putting into your body.
For one week, read every ingredient of every food you eat. This could potentially be a scary experience. Some ingredient labels on packaged foods sound more like a college chemistry class than anything we should be eating. As a golden rule, if you cant pronounce it, chances are you shouldnt be eating it. The majority of the foods you should be eating shouldnt even have an ingredients label. They should be vegetables, fruits, raw nuts, chicken, fish, eggs, meat. If you make 90% of your diet, fresh food, I guarantee you will significantly change your weight and your health. No time to make fresh food? (please refer back to #1). Cook more than one portion at a time when you do cook so that there are always healthy leftovers in the fridge. You can always have for lunch leftovers from the night before. Cook several portions of one meal and freeze some. A good example of this is healthy soup or turkey chili. Put a portion of chili in a small Tupperware and freeze. You can grab this when in a hurry for lunch or dinner.

3. How much are you eating?
In the United States, our perception of one portion is extremely distorted. Restaurant portions are about 3 times more than what we should be eating in one sitting. If we become accustomed to seeing this much food on our plate at a restaurant we tend to do the same when we are at home and serve ourselves. According to a study by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, women are eating 300 more calories a day and men 168 more calories than 20 years ago. All it takes is 100 extra calories a day to gain 10 pounds a year.

For one week, reduce your portions at lunch and dinner by half. There is no need to “clean your plate”. Most times whats on your plate is double what you should be eating anyway. If you feel some hunger in the afternoon, add one small apple with a handful of raw nuts as a snack. Your body will quickly become accustomed to the smaller portions and you will eventually not be able to eat as much in one sitting as you did before. Remember, you have access to an abundance of food every day. You dont need to eat it all at once.

3.Drink WATER!
Dehydration has directly been linked to several forms of diseases including colon cancer, high blood pressure, and elevated cholesterol levels. Many people also mistake thirst for hunger. So it may not be that youre hungry all day, you may just be thirsty and dehydrated. In due time, dehydration will cause a gradual gain in weight from overeating as a direct result of confusion of thirst and hunger sensations.

Take a look at what you are drinking each day.

Coffee or Soda (Diet Coke included)? The caffeine in both will dehydrate you even more and will cause you to feel hungrier during the day.

Diet drinks and sodas? The artificial sweetener actually enhances your appetite and increases food intake.

Orange Juice and other Fruit Juices? The sugar and calories can add up to 10 teaspoons of sugar per drink, which can be anywhere from 150-200 calories. Not to mention the fact that sugar eventually makes you crave more sugar.

Every person should be drinking half of their body weight in ounces of water each day. So if you weigh 150 lbs, you should be drinking 75 ounces of water each day. If you drink coffee or any other caffeinated beverage during the day, the ounces of water needed increases.

4.How much do you move each day?
Your body was designed to move! Your heart is a muscle and must be worked just like every other muscle in your body. You dont have to join a gym to move, you just have to challenge your body and your muscles each and every day.

The two best time saving exercise options I always suggest to clients are:

1.Go for a walk. You can go for a walk anywhere and anytime. No time you say? Please refer back to rule #1.

2. Set up your home with some free weights and an exercise ball. You will be amazed at the number of exercises you can do with just your body, some free weights and a stability ball. If you dont know how, hire a trainer to show you or get a good book. Get into the routine of scheduling your exercise time each and every day. No ifs, ands or buts. Make your exercise time more important than phone calls, laundry, errands or lunch dates.

Make a promise to yourself that this time will be about health, not about short term weight loss. Really evaluate how you are treating your body on an everyday basis. Is that the same way you would treat a highly valuable, expensive piece of equipment? Because thats what your body is. There is no amount of money in the world that will buy you another one, so you might as well take really good care of the one you got!

The $100 Treatment That Stops Swine Flu and Heart Disease

The $100 Treatment That Stops Swine Flu and Heart Disease

This year, flu season came months early. The government is warning about pandemics. It’s urging vaccinations, which you may know is a bad thing to do. So I wanted to give you more information on how to dramatically reduce your risk of complications from the flu, or other infections. This is knowledge you just won’t hear from your conventional doctor. That’s sad since the information has been present in the mainstream medical literature for decades.

One of the best and most reliable (not to mention the safest) ways to fight any infection is with oxidative medicine. This includes hydrogen peroxide therapy, ozone, and ultraviolet blood irradiation.

Other than oxygen itself, the simplest oxidant is hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), so we’ll start there. H2O2 is simply a water molecule (H-O-H) which carries one extra oxygen atom (H-O-O-H). That atom is held rather loosely and can come off very easily. You can see that happens with your own eyes when you pour your store-bought H2O2 onto a surface where it bubbles. It’s releasing oxygen, and becoming water. That’s how it kills pathogens. Most pathogens are very sensitive to oxidation.

However, oxidation therapy with H2O2 is not topical. It is intravenous. Sadly, the medical mob has conspired to obfuscate the truth of intravenous H2O2. You’ll be told that it is dangerous, that you can get “air” emboli. Nothing could be further from the truth. First, peroxide releases oxygen, not air. And oxygen is soluble in your body’s fluids, and it burns far faster than you would ever receive it. For example, a typical IV of peroxide would release about 25 cc of oxygen gas during the 1.5 hour infusion. You burn up over 125 cc of oxygen gas per minute. It’s impossible for the tiny amount of oxygen to harm you. Furthermore, European doctors, for decades, have been giving up to 50 cc of oxygen gas over mere minutes for allergic conditions. No one has ever had a problem.

But is H2O2 effective against the flu? Let’s look at some history.

In 1918 India, a British physician named Lawrence Oliver was desperate to save lives. The flu was killing millions around the world. He got the bold idea to infuse dilute hydrogen peroxide intravenously into dying victims. The treatment shaved the death rate by 50%. The Lancet published his work in 1920. This was the first hospital use of an intravenous oxidation therapy.

Unfortunately, mainstream medicine didn’t pick up Oliver’s work. It was picked up, however, by my mentor, the late Dr. Charles Farr. He began his work in Oklahoma in the 1980s. Hydrogen peroxide is a critical biochemical intermediary molecule. It’s involved in hundreds, if not thousands, of biochemical functions, especially in your immune system.

Just for starters, your body requires H2O2 to produce thyroid, steroid hormones, cytokines (white blood cell hormones) and for glucose metabolism. It is the actual “bullet” your immune cells produce to shoot and kill pathogens. Every cell in your body carries a pool or reserve of H2O2 for these and other essential purposes.

Review-Medicine Show

Posted on by admin

Medicine Show, Heidi Lampietti (ed.), 2006, ISBN 1892619091

This is a collaborative novel (each chapter written by a different person) about a medicine show traveling around Europe in the immediate aftermath of World War I.

Professor Bernhard Freedomhowler’s Internationally Acclaimed Traveling Exhibition of Medicinal Wonderment consists of a very disparate group of individuals. Calliope is a boy with smooth skin, a snout-like nose and a tail, who can whistle from his mouth, his nose and even his ears. Norris is part-human and part-dog, who is brought on stage as a snarling, ravenous beast ready to tear out someone’s throat. After he is given a dose of Freedomhowler’s Pan-Herbal Restorative Elixir, he immediately turns into a calm, erudite person quoting Shakespeare.

Lady Bodicaea (real name: Heather McInnerney) is Scottish, and the show’s strongwoman. Grenadine is an English nurse who is the show’s medium/fortune teller. The leader of the group is Bernhard Freedomhowler (his real name is Tarbottom), an American from Kentucky. He learned the business as part of Wild Bill Hickok’s Perambulatory of Astonishing Wonders. Wild Bill has become a figment of Freedomhowler’s imagination, and constantly talks to him.

The group spends much of its time just trying to make enough money to eat and to make it to the next town or village. There is the always-present need to make a quick exit should the local townspeople decide that the group has worn out its welcome. Freedomhowler also tries to stay away from Drake, part of the American forces, who orders him to give up the medicine show and return to America (Freedomhowler is an ex-spy).

With any collaborative novel like this, some chapters will be better than others. It’s a good story, and for those interested in the history of World War I, this book is worth checking out.

Dyshidrotic Eczema And Facial Eczema Treatment

Posted on by admin

Having suffered from Dyshidrotic Eczema for over 9 years I can honestly say I think I must have tried every kind of eczema treatment there is as I was so desperate to cure my eczema once and for all.

Now, Im sure you probably have found this yourself but not every dyshidrotic eczema treatment works. In fact some treatments seemed to do hardly anything for me except lower my bank balance.

I spent a small fortune on various types of eczema creams all promising to cure my ecxema in as little as 3 weeks but none actually did what they said. It wasnt until after I found a natural way to cure my eczema that I did some more research into creams and what they are actually supposed to do. Their packaging may well say they cure eczema but the vast majority only aim to reduce your condition which is not a cure.

Here are some inexpensive homemade eczema creams you can make yourself to treat Dyshidrotic eczema, facial eczema and any eczema rash.

1) Mix Oatmeal with Honey 50/50. Mix it together and apply it to your eczema rash, then leave it for 30 minutes. After that time wash if off with luke warm water. Youll notice this soothes and relives your flare up right away, I always did this before I went to bed to stop me itching during the night.

2) Oatmeal baths this is not a cream but an effective treatment! Grind oatmeal up until its a fine powder and add it to a bath full of warm (but not too hot!) water. Lie in the water for 15 minutes before getting out, youll notice right away that the itchiness has been relieved from your hands, feet and any other areas where you had a sore.

3) Mix Oatmeal with egg whites to form a very rich exfoliating masque. Apply to your rash/rashes and wait for it to dry into the skin before washing off, you will notice it smooths your skin and it feels softer to touch.

What Causes Heart Disease the Cholesterol Myth.

Posted on by admin

What Causes Heart Disease? How Atherosclerosis Begins
Cardiovascular disease begins when the walls of your arteries and the cholesterol in your blood are damaged by free radicals and oxidative stress. Damaged cholesterol molecules stick to the walls of your arteries, and each other, eventually clogging the artery and causing a heart attack. It doesn’t matter how much, or how little, cholesterol there is in your blood. Once the cholesterol becomes oxidized, your body will send more cholesterol to the damaged area in an attempt to repair the damage, and plaque deposits begin. As these plaque deposits grow, the artery becomes narrower and stiffer, diminishing the flow of blood to the heart. If the artery becomes so clogged that it becomes completely blocked, you have a heart attack. Cholesterol-reducing drugs may lower the amount of cholesterol in your bloodstream, but they will not protect it from oxidation.

What Causes Heart Disease? Atherosclerosis Starts Early in Life
Atherosclerosis probably started to form in your body when you were still young. The entire process is slow and insidious, and often doesn’t have symptoms. Some people with blocked coronary arteries develop angina. When they exert themselves, their stiff, narrowed arteries can’t expand enough to increase the flow of blood to the heart. The result is severe, sometimes disabling, chest pain.
Atherosclerosis can also affect other parts of your body, as well. If an artery in your brain is blocked, you could have a stroke. If the arteries leading to any of your organs are blocked, that organ could fail. If the blockage is in the arteries in your legs, that could lead to muscle cramps or artery diseases such as phlebitis.

What Causes Heart Disease? Oxidative Stress.
Rather than worry about your cholesterol levels, you really need to work at lowering inflammation and oxidative stress.
Sources of oxidative stress, and the free radical reaction that causes it, fall into the following general categories:
environmental toxins and pollution
pesticides and herbicides
emotional stress
strenuous exercise
chronic illnesses
processed foods and food additives
chronic inflammation
smoking
ultraviolet radiation from the sun
electromagnetic radiation in your environment

Prevention of Heart Disease
The best way to lower your risk of heart disease is by eating a healthy diet rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants give your body the defense it needs against free radical attacks to your arteries.
With an abundant supply of antioxidants, the free radicals are neutralized quickly enough so that your artery walls will remain intact and your cholesterol will not form plaque.

Breast Cancer, Effective Treatments That Cure.

Posted on by admin

Breast cancer, one of the most feared diseases that most women are terrified of. From all the media attention it receives today one would think that progress is being made in finding a cure, but unfortunately the opposite is true as the breast cancer rates are still climbing.

The main reason why its still increasing is that we dont have prevention when all the causes of breast cancer are now well known. Also the reason why we dont have a cure for it is because the treatments today are very profitable even though they are not very effective.

Todays treatments focus on the cancer growths which does not actually do anything to help the patient regain the level of health they need to keep the cancer from coming back again. It is much more important to focus on the prime reason why the cancer first grew, that is, what caused it to grow in the first place and address those facts.

The well known slogan which tells woman that early detection will lead to a cure is a myth! Early detection is beneficial only to the breast cancer industry through their statistics. If they can detect breast cancer early, the meter that measures the 5 year survival cycle starts running earlier and the earlier it is detected, the better the chance of passing that critical 5 years period. Also early detection slogans helps recruit woman into the breast cancer industry.

The causes of breast cancer have been well known for many years and there is a cure for the disease. It is very simple, remove all the known factors that have caused it and with the amazing self healing powers of the human body, which we all have, it will remove the cancer naturally and permanently and without any side effects.

What our medical system is doing is looking for complex answers to a simple problem. Breast cancer does not need aggressive toxic treatments that can damage the body. To cure breast cancer one only needs to respect the laws of Mother Nature by living as we are supposed to and especially eating the foods we have been designed to eat and they are freshly grown fruit and vegetables.

As for finding a cure for the disease they will never succeed. Cancer is like scurvy, we all know that scurvy is a vitamin C deficiency and the only way to cure scurvy is naturally. Eat foods that contain vitamin C. Breast cancer is exactly the same, its a disease of a weak immune system and there are only natural ways to strengthen that. Thats why they havent made any progress in finding a cure, despite looking for nearly 40 years. A drug to cure breast cancer doesnt exist.

There are some other factors that contribute to breast cancer, for instance our sedentary lifestyle and the toxic products we use every day. They can all contribute to the problem so learn more and find out about breast cancer and whats going on in the industry today.

It does have a permanent cure and its seldom with our mainstream toxic treatments of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.

Holistic Medicine An Overview

Posted on by admin

Practitioners of holistic medicine believe that treating illness and injury doesn’t stop with conventional methods. Instead, they practice the art of healing with the mindset that the whole individual should be included in any treatment. The mind, the body, and the spirit are all a part of the healing process. There is also considerable effort put toward preventing illness and disease through these practices. Practitioners often describe the optimal condition being one in which unlimited life force energy is allowed to flow freely throughout the body.

When one applies the practices of holistic medicine, they don’t stop at the superficial cause of the illness or the injury that brought them to need healing in the first place. In order to achieve a sense of well being as well as treat the specific ailment, they incorporate a variety of safe modalities in order to get to the root cause. This includes looking at the physical aspect of the treatment, their intake of nutrition, the environment in which they live, and then examining their spiritual lifestyle as well.

Many people are under the mistaken notion that holistic medicine is somehow at odds with conventional surgery and prescription drug treatments. This isn’t the case at all. The practice includes looking at alternatives to be sure, but conventional methods and factual science have always been a part of the lifestyle. One of the main differences between this form of practice and traditional methods is the focus on finding the root cause of an illness, rather than simply treating the symptoms, which is what much of modern science has become.

Adhering closely to the old adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, practitioners find it much more cost effective to look at preventative methods with at least as much ferocity as they look for ways in which to treat the already ill. When possible, the best methods involve using the patient’s own healing abilities and exploiting them so that they can prevent and fight most diseases on their own. When illness does occur, it is usually seen as a sign of a larger dysfunction.

In addition to promoting lifestyle changes from within, there is also an emphasis on improving relationships with others. This not only includes relationships with friends and family, but finding a better way to coexist within an environment, if not changing that environment altogether. Practitioners believe that a person’s surroundings have much to do with that individual’s continued wellness.

What Group is At Risk for Dyshidrotic Eczema

Posted on by admin

Reported by -Andrew’s Clinical Dermatology- research and case studies all point to cases of Dyshidrotic Eczemaoccuring both in the male and female genders in equal ratio. No specific gender has enhanced chances for being afflicted by dyshidrosis, or eczema at all. Any disparities between the number of men and women with the condition is due to population statistics and not to one sex being more likely to undergo the ailment than the other.

A similar source continues by mentioning that roughly 20% of patients who may have hand eczema begin showing signs of Dyshidrotic Eczema. While 20% may appear to the eye as good odds one must take into account the amount of individuals who have eczema; it numbers 15 million to this day, so twenty percent is actually a fairly large sum. The condition can be impacted by outside factors which include weather, with lots of more cases being present in warmer climates globally during the spring and summer months of the year. Many patients link outbreaks to excessive direct exposure to strong sunlight. General cases of Dyshidrotic Eczema appear in those of in their middle ages, however , there happen to have been documented cases in those as young as three years old.

In recent years, eczema has turned into a considerably more common affliction. In the last few years the numbers for people with eczema has increased dramatically with numbers reaching to fifteen million. Experts appear to agreethat the numbers will likely show growth in the future. Although there is no immediate cause made known to the population concerning the trigger of this massive jump start in amounts of individuals with the problem, many claim that this growth spurt can be due to the elevated number of pollutants and allergens within the atmosphere.

Prime Candidates for this condition all fit into certain categories with similarities being present in each case. Individuals residing in warmer climate locations are at an even greater risk for dyshidrosis; the condition being much more prevalent in these warm places. Individuals who spend excessive time outdoors in intense sunlight seem to experience this condition much more often with worse symptoms. Weather factors aside, there are various biological and mental factors at work. Individuals who are particularly stressed may start to show signs of dyshidrotic eczema as well. Age can play a factor, with the greater part of cases occuring in those of middle aged adults.
