They are far too low, by a factor of ten, say researchers at UC San Diego and Creighton University. Researchers submitted a letter of challenge, published in the journal<i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Nutrients,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></i>which confirmed a calculation error that was also noted by other investigators using a data set from a different population.</div>

Dr. Cedric F. Garland, Dr.P.H., adjunct professor at UC San Diego’s Department of Family Medicine and Public Health said his group confirmed findings published by Dr. Paul Veugelers from the University of Alberta School of Public Health, which were reported last October in the same journal.</div>
<div class="bodytext" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #080037; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Both these studies suggest that the IOM underestimated the requirement substantially,” said Garland. “The error has broad implications for public health regarding disease prevention and achieving the stated goal of ensuring that the whole population has enough vitamin D to maintain bone health.”</div>
<div class="bodytext" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #080037; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The recommended intake of vitamin D specified by the IOM is 600 IU/day through age 70 years, and 800 IU/day for older ages. “Calculations by us and other researchers have shown that these doses are only about one-tenth those needed to cut incidence of diseases related to vitamin D deficiency,” Garland explained.</div>

<br />
March is traditionally noted as Women's Health Month. Generally NHN often encourages you to uses thermography and ultrasound for best breast cancer screening because of the risk of developing cancer from mammogram.<br />
<br />
This herb and of course many others can be helpful to you if you are concerned with breast cancer.<br />
<br />
Thyme was used during the embalming process in Ancient Egypt and as
incense for temples in Ancient Greece. According to writer Maud Grieve,
the Romans used thyme to flavor up alcoholic beverages. (1)<br />
<br />
Hippocrates, also known as “the father of medicine” noted thyme as an
amazing culinary herb that can be grown in gardens and gathered in
countrysides. In one of his documents, he mentioned the therapeutic uses
of thyme in treating respiratory diseases and conditions. (1)<br />
<h2>
Strongest antioxidant known to man</h2>
Today, we see many people touting the benefits of essential oils and
their ability to manage stress levels, boost mood, deal with specific
pain, and fight off any infections. (2)<br />
<br />
The essential oils of thyme support body systems and are the
strongest known antioxidants. Thyme contains a large amount (between 20%
to 54%) of thymol, which is a naturally occurring compound, biocides,
that can destroy harmful organisms. Additionally, when thymus is used in
conjunction with other biocides, such as carvacrol (Oregano), the antimicrobial
attributes are incredibly strong. (1)<br />
<br />
The leaves, flowers, and oil of thyme are most commonly used by
people for conditions such as bedwetting, diarrhea, stomach ache,
arthritis, colic, sore throat, cough (including whooping cough),
bronchitis, flatulence, and as a diuretic. (1)<br />
<br />
But did you know that
thyme could also be an effective anti-cancer remedy, especially breast
cancer?<br />
<h2>
Shows promising treatment for breast cancer</h2>
Breast cancer is less prevalent in Greek women than American women.
Thyme has been used as a staple in Mediterranean cooking, which is
possibly why Greek women experience less than half the incidence of
breast cancer. (2)<br />
<br />
According to the journal <em>Nutrition and Cancer</em>, researchers
from Celal Bayar University in Turkey conducted a study to see what
effect wild thyme might have on breast cancer cells, especially how wild
thyme affected cell death and epigenetic events in breast cancer cells.
(1)<br />
<br />
Researchers in this study confirmed that wild thyme induced cell
death in the breast cancer cells, noting that wild thyme “may be a
promising candidate in the development of novel therapeutic drugs for
breast cancer treatment.” <br />
<h2>
Proven to kill 98% of breast cancer cells</h2>
In as little as 72 hours of in vitro breast cancer treatment, thyme
essential oil was able to kill 98% in human breast cancer cells (MCF-7)
with a concentration of only 0.05%. However, if concentrations were used
as low as 0.01%, thyme essential oil still was able to kill 40% of
breast cancer cells.<br />
<br />
In other studies, thyme essential oil has also proven successful in
treating oral and ovarian cancer. If you’re struggling with skin
issues, digestive woes, yeast infection, high blood pressure, anxiety,
insomnia, fatigue, or circulation, then thyme essential oil may be of
benefit to you as well. (1)<br />

Crazy! Yes! And no question about it.<br />
<br />
Here we have the CDC funding National City and County Employee Associations to make their end run around personal exemptions for vaccines. The goal is to get these organizations to call an end to any exemptions for vaccines. Forced medication against your will, denying your right of informed consent while millions are funneled to Big PhRMA: Sounds as if your government is working against you. <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
*<a href="http://www.nvicadvocacy.org/members/National/ActionAlertDetails.aspx?itemid=649&Page=True" target="_blank">Fundamental Right to Decline Vaccines is in Jeopardy in Many States!</a>*
<br />
<br />
*Join Washington, Oregon and Maryland in successfully defending **the
right to make informed, voluntary decisions about vaccinations.* Legislative committees all across the
country are considering bills to restrict the legal right to make
voluntary choices about vaccinations but you can stop them. *Whether you
advocate for or against the use of vaccines, <a href="http://www.thenhf.com/" target="_blank">NHFA</a> urges you to stand up
*for your right to be in charge of your family's health care, including
making informed, voluntary health care decisions for yourself or your
children and choosing to use no vaccines, a few vaccines, or all
government recommended vaccines.</blockquote>
<br />
While this forced vaccination (mind you - <span style="color: red;">vaccination IS NOT immunization</span>) plan is in the works just remember that the government health agencies had a complete record of the adverse effects and great harm done to infants, children, and adults.<br />

In 2011, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) began a program to entice doctors and hospitals to incorporate the use of Electronic Health Records (EHR). The carrot? The promise of convenience, coordinated care, fewer medical errors, more efficient office visits, faster billing, improved access to medical records. Oh yeah, and they were told, “If you want to get paid, you must convert and bill electronically.”</div>

The EHR programs were costly.

Therefore, the government offered<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span><a href="http://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Legislation/EHRIncentivePrograms/index.html?redirect=/ehrincentiveprograms/" style="color: #026ad9; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;"><span class="text-node">two incentive programs</span></a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>to encourage participation. The Medicare EHR Incentive Program offered to pay up to $44,000 over 5 years to cover the cost to implement a specific type of EHR, one that was certified to store and easily transfer structured data. The Medicaid EHR Incentive Program, offered to pay up to $63,750 over six years. In exchange, providers had to prove they were using the EHRs in a “meaningful way,” now simply referred to as “meaningful use”, or MU.</div>

The sheer cost of the mandate, even with the incentives, forced many doctors to leave private practice and become hospital employees. They are now told how to practice medicine by administrators, insurance companies and the government. Once part of the system, doctors were forced to comply with EHR use and follow the MU criteria.</div>

The CMS incentive programs came with a stipulation: data must be reported back to CMS. In 2014, providers had to meet the Stage 1 requirements, which included documenting<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span><a href="http://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Legislation/EHRIncentivePrograms/Downloads/EP_MU_TableOfContents.pdf" style="color: #026ad9; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;"><span class="text-node">18 objectives,</span></a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>13 were required and 5 were could be selected from a menu of 9 criteria. Beginning in 2015, the number of core objectives increased to 20 and physicians are now required to report 9 out of 64 total clinical quality measures (CQMs). Here is a sort list of CQMs reported to the government:</div>

One of the Stage 2 meaningful use core objectives is that hospitals and providers<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span><span class="text-node">must electronically send your immunization data</span></span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>to a public health registry or to the immunization information system (data banks).

So, what happens if doctors and hospitals do not comply with these reporting requirements? Beginning in 2015, and each subsequent year, Medicare and Medicaid will decrease reimbursement by 1% per year, up to a maximum of 5%<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em><span class="text-node">per year.</span></em></div>

The EHR has turned out to be very different than advertised. Big Government, Big Data and Big Health Insurance promised convenience, efficiency and coordinated care. What are they instead? A Big Fat Lie. The truth is, these systems were created to spy on billing,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span><span class="text-node">collect data on patients<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span>and put government in control of doctors. They have nothing to do with improving patient care.</div>

Is it any wonder that, according to projections by the Association of American Medical Colleges, the nation anticipates a shortage more than 90,000 physicians by 2020 and 130,000 physicians by 2025?

A clerical error could trigger a medicare audit, and the penalties for innocent mistakes could be staggering – $10,000 per infraction and up to 10 years in jail.

satisfied. This study adds to a substantial body of research
demonstrating that low-calorie sweeteners and the diet beverages that
contain them do not hinder but can in fact help with weight loss. Two
peer-reviewed studies published in the <a href="http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/early/2012/01/30/ajcn.111.026278" target="_blank">American Journal of Clinical Nutrition</a> by researchers from the University of North Carolina in 2012 and <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23364015" target="_blank">2013</a>
randomly assigned subjects to drink either water or diet beverages
(without making any other changes to their diet). After six months, the
diet-beverage group had a greater likelihood of reaching a meaningful
amount of weight loss — five percent of one's body weight — compared to
the control group. These studies reinforce that if you're trying to lose
weight, diet beverages may help you peel off pounds, as they can help
you achieve and maintain a lower-calorie eating plan. </blockquote>
<br />
Not only is this incorrect, because science has proven other wise, the artificial sweeteners in diet soda are very hazardous for your health.<br />
<br />
Medical experts warn about the dangers of aspartame
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Aspartame is not a necessary nutrient, and neither is MSG. The weight
of the evidence is overwhelming. If you want to avoid obesity, metabolic
syndrome, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer, and if you don't want
to make your cancer more aggressive, then you need to stay away from
these products. The damage affects pregnant women, unborn babies and
newborns. It can produce changes in the brain that are irreversible,
depending on when it is stopped. What we've found is that it reprograms
the wiring of the brain, particularly the hypothalamus, so it doesn't
function normally. These children are abnormal for the rest of their
lives in terms of their physiological function." Russell Blaylock, M.D.<br />
<br />
"So let me tell you what the European Food Safety Authority and the FDA
won't, and that's the truth about aspartame: It's the most dangerous
food additive ever approved for human consumption." Mark Stengler, NMD,
America's Natural Doctor<br />
<br />
"Lying and deceit on the artificial sweetener issue has been the FDA's
Modus Operandi ever since Donald Rumsfeld broke everything decent in the
U.S. government to put aspartame on the market as a "contract on
humanity". It has no commercial purpose other than a contract on
humanity." James Bowen, M.D.</blockquote>
Sucralose (Splenda) is as bad as aspartame if not worse. Then there is neotame and acesulfameK.<br />

No where in her article does the writer mention that low thyroid makes your cholesterol level go up. And I am sure your doctor did not even take this in to consideration.<br />
<br />
The point is, cholesterol medications may not work as they claim and they can do you a lot of harm. Some even contain fluoride.<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
A project I have been working on for
quite a few years, I guess going back as far as the early 1990s, is
helping educate our people about preventing and assisting in the
natural care of diabetes.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
More than any other group of people
American Indians are plagued with this dreadful disease.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
When I was researching the educational
program I designed when I was completing my doctoral coursework I
found an interesting fact. Attributed mainly to Plains people, but
not absent in tribes from other geographic areas in the Southwest and
other regions, diabetes was considered somewhat of a survival
mechanism.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Many traditional foods and locally
found herbs have historically been helpful in the care and treatment
of diabetes.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The last program I presented was at the
Indian Health facility located in the Blackfeet Nation at Browning,
Montana. As a gift I was given a book on the Ethnobotany of the
Blackfoot Tribe. I refer to this book still today. It was a
reference source while I was compiling a guide for diabetes based on
natural care during The Longest Walk 3. <a href="http://naturalhealthnews.blogspot.com/2012/06/natural-health-news-diabetes-diary.html" target="_blank">The Diabetes Diary</a> is that
book.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
A new project I am searching for
support and funding is a nutrition program for Indian children to
help them learn more about traditional food, traditional ways of
preparing the food, and the nutrition behind the foods. If you would
like to support this project, <a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/verified/pal=leaflady%40leaflady%2eorg" target="_blank">please donate here</a>.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Now back to a bit of history.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The garden green bean we know as snap
beans or string beans was a part of American Indian tribal
cultivation when the Spanish and Portuguese arrived some 500 years
or more ago. Along with the Jesuits the beans were taken to other
parts of the world by these explorers. Today there may be more than
500 varieties of common beans.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
For many years I was able to get bean
pod tea and I sold it in the health store I had in Granite Falls,
Washington. Then the bean pods became very hard to find so I
discontinued the item even though I had many requests for it. I then
provided people with information about growing their own beans and
making their own tea.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
These beans are full of healing
nutrients. Fresh picked string beans have 41 mg of calcium, 42 mg
of phosphorus, 1.14 mg of iron, 6 mg of sodium, 230 mg of potassium,
735 IU vitamin A, 40 mg folic acid (vitamin B9), 17.9 mg vitamin C,
and 27 mg magnesium in one cupful.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Many of the old time natural healers
used green beans in the care of people with diabetes (PWD). One of my
teachers, Paavo Airola, ND, PhD, always emphasized the importance of
string bean juice for anyone with diabetes. His clients drank it
five times a day with their five small meals.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
He believed in this because he knew of
nothing that was more important in rejuvenation the spleen, liver and
pancreas. His research proved that this juice stimulated the Islets
of Langerhans in the pancreas.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In addition to diabetes, this wonder
juice can help people with alcohol dependence, uremic poisoning, and
drug addiction.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Using a juicer such as the <a href="https://secure.vitamix.com/redirect.aspx?index.aspx?COUPON=06-003465" target="_blank">Vita Mix</a> or
any other juicer you may have, add the whole beans after washing and
draining. Any part of the plant is good so don't be too fussy. Add
about half a cup of water and turn the juicer on.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
You can mix in some beet powder, greens
powder, or some carrot powder with your <a href="http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=134" target="_blank">String Bean</a> juice for additional therapeutic benefits.</div>

a week goes by without a celebrity “opening up” about their “battle
with depression”. This, apparently, is a brave thing to do because,
despite all efforts to get rid of the stigma around depression, it is
still seen as some kind of mental and emotional weakness.<br />
But what if was nothing of the sort? What if it was a physical
illness that just happens to make people feel pretty lousy? Would that
make it less of a big deal to admit to? Could it even put a final nail
in the coffin of the idea that depression is all in the mind?<br />
According to a growing number of scientists, this is exactly how we
should be thinking about the condition. George Slavich, a clinical
psychologist at the University of California in Los Angeles, has spent
years studying depression, and has come to the conclusion that it has as
much to do with the body as the mind. “I don’t even talk about it as a
psychiatric condition any more,” he says. “It does involve psychology,
but it also involves equal parts of biology and physical health.”<br />
The basis of this new view is blindingly obvious once it is pointed
out: everyone feels miserable when they are ill. That feeling of being
too tired, bored and fed up to move off the sofa and get on with life is
known among psychologists as sickness behaviour. It happens for a good
reason, helping us avoid doing more damage or spreading an infection any
further.<br />
It also looks a lot like depression. So if people with depression
show classic sickness behaviour and sick people feel a lot like people
with depression – might there be a common cause that accounts for both?<br />
The answer to that seems to be yes, and the best candidate so far is
inflammation – a part of the immune system that acts as a burglar alarm
to close wounds and call other parts of the immune system into action. A
family of proteins called cytokines sets off inflammation in the body,
and switches the brain into sickness mode.<br />
Both cytokines and inflammation <a class=" u-underline" data-component="in-body-link" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jad.2008.12.001">have been shown to rocket during depressive episodes</a>,
and – in people with bipolar – to drop off in periods of remission.
Healthy people can also be temporarily put into a depressed, anxious
state when given a vaccine that causes a spike in inflammation. <a class=" u-underline" data-component="in-body-link" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.biopsych.2009.03.007">Brain imaging studies of people injected with a typhoid vaccine</a> found that this might be down to changes in the parts of the brain that process reward and punishment.<br />

<div class="ad-slot__label" data-test-id="ad-slot-label">

</div>
There
are other clues, too: people with inflammatory diseases such as
rheumatoid arthritis tend to suffer more than average with depression;
cancer patients given a drug called interferon alpha, which boosts their
inflammatory response to help fight the cancer, often become depressed
as a side-effect.<br />
As evidence like this continues to stack up, it’s not surprising that
some people have shifted their attention to what might be causing the
inflammation in the first place. <a class=" u-underline" data-component="in-body-link" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/2045-5380-4-10">Turhan Canli of Stony Brook University in New York</a> thinks infections are the most likely culprit, and <a class=" u-underline" data-component="in-body-link" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://youtu.be/1dD29XHp6CU">even goes as far as to say that we should rebrand depression </a>as an infectious – but not contagious – disease.<br />
Others aren’t willing to go that far, not least because infection is
not the only way to set off inflammation. A diet rich in trans fats and
sugar has been shown to promote inflammation, while a healthy one full
of fruit, veg and oily fish helps keep it at bay. Obesity is another
risk factor, probably because body fat, particularly around the belly,
stores large quantities of cytokines.<br />
Add this to the fact that stress, particularly the kind that follows
social rejection or loneliness, also causes inflammation, and it starts
to look as if depression is a kind of allergy to modern life – which
might explain its spiralling prevalence all over the world as we
increasingly eat, sloth and isolate ourselves into a state of chronic
inflammation.<br />
If that’s the case, prevention is probably the place to start. It’s
not a great idea to turn off inflammation entirely, because we need it
to fend off infections, says Slavich, but “lowering levels of systemic
inflammation to manageable levels is a good goal to have”.<br />
The good news is that <a class=" u-underline" data-component="in-body-link" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://dx.doi.org/%2010.1038/sj.mp.4001805">the few clinical trials done so far</a>
have found that adding anti-inflammatory medicines to antidepressants
not only improves symptoms, it also increases the proportion of people
who respond to treatment, although more trials will be needed to confirm
this. <a class=" u-underline" data-component="in-body-link" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://dx.doi.org/%2010.1097/JCP.0b013e31823f3b5f">There is also some evidence that omega 3</a> and <a class=" u-underline" data-component="in-body-link" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://dx.doi.org/%2010.1177/0269881112458732">curcumin, an extract of the spice turmeric</a>,
might have similar effects. Both are available over the counter and
might be worth a try, although as an add-on to any prescribed treatment –
there’s definitely not enough evidence to use them as a replacement.<br />
In between five to 10 years, says Carmine Pariante, a psychiatrist at
Kings College London, there may be a blood test that can measure
inflammation in people with depression so that they can be treated
accordingly. Researchers have already come up with a simple finger-prick
test that reliably measures inflammation markers in a single drop of
blood.<br />
And as for the stigma – could it really be killed off by shifting the
blame from the mind to the body? Time will tell. This is not the first
time that depression has been linked to a physical phenomenon, after
all. <a class=" u-underline" data-component="in-body-link" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1600-0447.2012.01826.x">A recent survey found that despite wider awareness of the theory</a>
that “chemical imbalances” in the brain cause depression, this has done
nothing to reduce stigma; in fact, it seemed to make matters worse.<br />
This time, though, the target is not any kind of brain or mind-based
weakness but a basic feature of everyone’s body that could strike anyone
down given the right – or wrong – turn of events. And if that doesn’t
inspire a greater sympathy and understanding, then nothing will.<br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, new york, times, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In
the traditional sense as a student of natural healing you learned to
keep things simple. Dr. John Christopher was always reminding
students to hold fast to this philosophy. In my mind it is the
reason why the traditional way really did help people recover from
health challenges. I don't see it that way today with the new twist

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, new york, times, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, new york, times, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Fluoridation
in the water supply is a major factor. The US is in a huge battle to
keep and expand this heinous practice. The people have really become
wise to the fluoride scam and are fighting back.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, new york, times, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Fluoride
in drugs and food compounds the issue.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, new york, times, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Environmental
pollution is another way toxic brain altering chemicals are finding
their way into your home and your body.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, new york, times, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">EMF
contributes too. (Probably more than you think and probably more than
you want to accept).</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, new york, times, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, new york, times, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">That

like my Health Forensic system and take action to correct the issues.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, new york, times, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I
am amazed that it has taken so long for some people to catch on to
some of these ideas. These “old” ideas are gems found hidden in
treatments of years gone by. These treatments worked. </span></span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, new york, times, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now
I am pleased to see that more information regarding Alzheimer's (ALZ)
is resurfacing, especially the B vitamin connection. Using B
vitamins, especially B12 shots back in the 40s-50s-60s and into the
early/mid 1970s, was common in medicine and there was little or no
"dementia". Natural thyroid support was also commonly
used. <br /><br />I have to caution on vaccines and prescription drugs
because these are highly suspect I believe, along with food additives
and chemical pollution. My guess is that the nutrient deficiencies
created by vaccine ingredients and prescription drugs is a major
factor in the equation. Environmental toxins are another factor not

Part 1 - A different way of looking at Ebola<br />
<br />
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 15.6000003814697px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">The growing epidemic of Ebola in Africa is a big cause for concern among the general public. The media coverage of this aggressive illness is not much help. Though there is a truth to the aggressive and disturbing nature of Ebola, there is some hope nestled in our growing understanding of the infection. Although it has high mortality but we have to look at folks who survived, what was the protective mechanism in these folks? In this article we will look at the nature of this virus and what we can learn about protecting ourselves.</span><br />

The mortality rate among infected persons during these outbreaks has been 50-90%.[1] High mortality rate has made Ebola virus one of the most aggressive infectious agent known to people. The recent outbreak in West African countries of Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria has been the largest in the short history since our introduction to this virus.[2]</span><br />

Fruit bats of Africa are believed to the original host of the Ebola virus. Human infections like occur due to direct contact with blood or other body secretions of infected animals. “In Africa, infection has been documented through the handling of infected chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope and porcupines found ill or dead or in the rainforest.”[1] Within the community, the infection spreads via human-to-human transmission. The routes of transmission are still limited to direct contact with blood and other body secretions of the infected or dead victims of Ebola.[3]</span><br />

Some may also develop a bruising rash on the skin, described as a hemorrhagic rash. In the later stages, these individuals develop loss of appetite, severe stomach ache, diarrhea with or without bleeding, and vomiting.[4] Hemorrhage and loss of blood are the most devastating aspects of the infection and often result in fatality. The infection runs its course within 14-21 days.[5] During this time, if the virus does not kill the infected person, the immune system of the person is able to overcome the disease.</span><br />

This may also shed some light on ways to defend against the infection. Ebola virus contains two very similar glycol-proteins (GPs); which form the interactive protein structure that appears on the surface of the virus.[5] The GPs bind to the receptor proteins located on the host human cells on various organs. Cells of the gastrointestinal tract, bloodstream, and immune system are the first to be affected by viral invasion. After invading the cell, virus over-takes the cell’s protein production and depletes the cell. Infection of circulating immune cells like monocytes and dendritic cells weakens the immune cells; because they are circulatory, these cells carry the virus to all parts of the body.[6] Viral activity also manipulates these cells to create high amount of inflammatory signaling molecules. In response to inflammation,</span><br />

The worst effects of the infection are seen on circulatory and immune system of the infected person. These effects result in the symptoms of diarrhea, vomiting, hemorrhage, and immune debility experienced by Ebola patients.</span><br />

However, the body and the immune system are persistent for survival – research looking at the immune function of survivors and nonsurvivors is teaching us about nature’s best strategy to overcome. The first defensive response of the immune system is to recognize and bind to the viral proteins. This is a double-edged sword, because this is also the easiest way for the cell to become infected. The surveillance immune cells (B-cells) bind to virus and produce IgM antibodies to recruit other immune cells to neutralize the virus.[7] Antiviral T-cell lymphocytes become involved; these produce IgG antibodies that reinforce the defensive action against the virus. Production of IgM and IgG antibodies represent virus-specific signals for the immune system to recognize and eliminate the virus.</span><br />

Among survivors of Ebola infections during a 1996 outbreak in Gabon, Sudan; it was found that these individuals had greater concentration of IgM and IgG antibodies7 and also had more sustained antiviral T-cell response. Comparatively, all of these were deficient among the non-survivors. The immune system of the non-survivors was slower to respond, thus sustained greater loss due to death of immune cells – this resulted in ultimate fatality.[7]</span><br />

In this study, the researcher looked at the immune responses of blood samples from survivor and non-survivors of this outbreak. It was discovered that survivors had developed antibodies against various proteins on the virus. These antibodies were still active in the survivors after the infection had passed. In a 12 year follow-up study with the survivors, the immune systems still carried IgM antibodies against the viral proteins.[9] These individual still produced a significant immune response to injected viral proteins over a decade after exposure to the illness.</span><br />

You are not going to contract this virus in flying or sitting next to Ebola infected person, unless come in contact with blood, vomitus, stool, urine or get injected with infected needle. Proper infection control techniques will be highly effective in controlling this disease. Even once you are in contact with these bodily fluids, washing with soap can be highly effective in warding off this infection, unless you have open wounds on your skin.</span><br />

Diets that are high in a variety of vegetables and fruits are most beneficial. Fruits and vegetables are packed with naturally occurring vitamins and minerals that support healthy enzymatic function in the body. A review of research indicates that fruits and vegetables in the diet support antioxidant, detoxification, immune activity and hormonal metabolism in the body.[10] Dietary mushrooms are source of polysaccharides like β-glucan, that are directly modulate activity of the immune system.[11] An average healthy diet must include up to 4-5 servings of a variety of vegetables every day; and 1-2 servings of fresh fruits every day.</span><br />

Exercising supports the immune system through its physiological and mechanical effects on the body. Exercise can help flush out infective agents and cancer-causing toxins by promoting elimination of waste through urine and sweat.[12] It improves circulation of in general – promoting circulation of immune cells and antibodies through all parts of the body. In a research study, moderate exercise performed over 12-15 weeks reduced the number of sick days by half.[13] On the other hand; excessive rigorous exercise can weaken the body’s defenses. Moderate exercise includes, 30-40 minutes of brisk walk 4-5 days every week.</span><br />

It is the one time when the anabolic (building) functions in the body outpace the catabolic (destructive) functions in the body. Undisturbed sleep can be one of the most regenerative activities that an individual can have every day. Sleep is part of the sleep-wake cycle that helps to balance the circadian rhythm of hormones and physiological activity of the body. This aspect of sleep has a powerful regulatory effect on immune function of the individual;[14] More specifically, sleep has been shown to improve communication between immune cells and improve immunological memory.</span><br />

However, excessive stress and inadequate stress management can become detrimental to health. Just like a stretched rubber-band loses its elasticity over time, a stressed system loses its immunity as well. Chronic stress can make a weak immune system even weaker, increasing susceptibility to disease.[15] Simple stress relieving activity like exercise, deep breathing, yoga, and joyful recreational activity must be incorporated into daily life to induce effective transition into a relaxed state.</span><br />

Ayurveda offers a wide range of herbs called rasayana. According to the Ayurvedic theory, rasayana herbs are rejuvenative medicines that promote health at all tissue levels of the body. The traditional model of tissue formation teaches us that the components of blood related to nourishment like plasma (rasa) and red blood cells (rakta) are formed first. On the other hand, Ojas which represents components of the hormonal system, immune cells, etc. are formed at the end of the process of tissue formation. Rasayana herbs have the capacity to support healthy metabolism at all levels tissue formation – thus, promoting nourishment and protection.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />

It has been used as part of a traditional formula called Chyawanprash for over 2000 years. Amla is a very useful antioxidant and liver supportive herb. Antioxidant function of this herb has a regenerative effect on the immune system.[16] The liver supportive activity of Amla has been shown to restore anti-oxidant system of the liver and restore elevated liver enzymes to normal. It has been observed to protect liver damage due to toxins and protect development of liver cancer.17,18 Liver is the primary detoxing organ of the body. Optimal function of the liver reduces toxic burden and allows the immune system to deal with real threats.</span><br />

Ashwagandha contains glycoside compound of Ashwagandha have been observed to reduce stress on the adrenal gland and stimulate the thyroid gland activity.[19] This demonstrates the anti-stress activity and pro-metabolic activity of Ashwagandha. Both of these reinforce immune activity of the individual, indicated by the mobilization and activation of immune cells.[20] Ashwagandha has also been observed to reverse immune-suppression caused by steroid use.[21] Ashwagandha herb is one of the best hormonal and immune modulator offered by Ayurvedic tradition. In 1903 plague epidemic, people who were given Ashwagandha survived. Ashwagandha does not have strong antibacterial properties, but it does stimulate host defense.</span><br />

While healthy, controlled inflammation is a part of a normal immune response; excessive inflammation causes tissue damage and depletion of the immune system. Turmeric contains the compound curcumin, which is recognized for helping control inflammation as effectively as Non-Steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). In animal studies, Curcumin has been observed to be equal Ibuprofen to prevent inflammatory plaque formation in Alzheimer disease.[22] Curcumin does this without the risk of toxicity seen with NSAIDs. Additionally, Curcumin’s effectiveness has been demonstrated in chronic diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, obesity and other metabolic diseases.23,24,25 When unnecessary inflammation is brought under control this takes a lot of stress from immune system and the adrenal gland – this also protects from inflammatory tissue damage.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">It has long been apparent that an increased susceptibility to infectious diseases is common in malnourished human populations. This has traditionally been viewed as simply a consequence of the fact that the immune system must be maintained by adequate nutrition in order to function optimally. Only recently has data begun to accumulate in support of the idea that<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://drsircus.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=25b08cc8b5ebaf472984d04d0&id=c18406db63&e=0315b56721" rel="nofollow" style="color: purple; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: windowtext; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">nutritional factors may sometimes have a direct effect on pathogens</span></a>, and that passage through nutritionally deficient hosts may facilitate evolutionary changes in infectious agents.[<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" id="yiv8764197703_ednref1" name="_ednref1" rel="nofollow" style="color: black; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none; text-decoration: none;"></a><a href="https://us-mg6.mail.yahoo.com/neo/b/message?search=1&s=doc+art&startMid=0&sort=date&order=down&mid=1_0_AAznjkQAAALHU%2BA3dwAAAElzdNc&fid=Inbox#_edn1" rel="nofollow" style="color: purple; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none; text-decoration: underline;" title=""><span style="color: windowtext; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">1</span></a>]</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">The mechanisms of cell death, apoptosis, necrosis, pyroptosis, or autophagic cell death depends on a cells ability to cope with the conditions to which it is exposed.

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">Patients who are critically ill with Ebola have high nutritional requirements that need to be addressed. Nutritional feeding is critical to patient outcome. Natural Allopathic Medicine takes a different approach than contemporary medicine. Instead of using toxic pharmaceuticals that diminish the immune system by further driving down nutritional status we use we treat and cure through the fulfillment of nutritional law.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px 0in; orphans: auto; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">We do not need to develop expensive drugs waiting while millions potentially die. Right in the emergency room are already excellent medicines that doctors are familiar with that save lives every day. Nutritional medicine is safer and more effective than pharmaceutical medicine. Just ask an emergency-room or intensive-care-ward doctor right after he has injected magnesium chloride or sodium bicarbonate to save someone’s life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">With Ebola raging in Africa and threatening the rest of the world it is inexcusable that medical and health officials continue to frown on the use of un-patentable medicines like those mentioned above.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"><span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">The substances in the Natural Allopathic protocol for Ebola offer a power unequalled in the world of medicine </span></i>that we can harness to save many lives of people infected with Ebola. However, some people would enjoy seeing millions if not billions of people die to reduce population down to a more manageable level. Others would rather stick with their professional pride or obedience to medical officials and let patients die than even think of what should work to decrease the death rate from Ebola. It really would be a shame if the medical world stands by and lets this pandemic take hold.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">The secrets of emergency room and intensive care medicine holds the key to resolving Ebola. Magnesium salts, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), iodine, selenium and vitamin C are concentrated nutritional medicinals that have been used in the direst of medical circumstances. They are widely available, inexpensive and safe to administer round the clock at high dosages.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px 0in; orphans: auto; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">The core of the Natural Allopathic protocol redefines the way emergency room and intensive care should be practiced on Ebola patients with proven fast-acting, safe, concentrated and mostly injectable nutritional medicines. If the Ebola infection truly gets out of hand, it is comforting for parents to know that they can legally administer these same medicinals if infected people are treated at home. All of the Natural Allopathic Medicines can be also taken orally or used transdermally (topically) to almost the same effect if treatment is started early enough.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">People who either choose home care or have no other option need to treat everyone in the home at the same time whether demonstrating symptoms or not. Waiting for the contagion to spread inside a family, or with health care professionals in hospitals and clinics, is unwise. The main idea is to get out in front of the virus.</span></div>

This hardly equates to the CERCLA law of informing citizens of the toxic waste dumps and other major decisions of Region X. One from a man who lives on 02, oxygen, 24/7.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">It is safe to say that permanent waste disposal was never considered. The copy of the response to the two public comments from reg. ten includes mention of the justifying of this site so as to “ultimately avoid transporting of waste through Wallace” So want rational is being used here for the approval of tons of toxic cleanup waste being transported several miles from all over the site on I-90 to be dumped at a National Historic Landmark in a highly populated area as well as desecration of Native American land?</span></div>

A veteran healthy foods consultant called the ruling<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i style="outline: none; position: static;">“stupid”</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and advised Raiso-owned Benecol’s UK license holder, Johnson & Johnson, to sue the UK agency in question.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static;">
The ads for Benecol drinking yoghurt claimed,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i style="outline: none; position: static;">"two out of three adults have high cholesterol"<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></i>in the UK, but the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said the claim manipulated BHF and other data and,<i style="outline: none; position: static;">“</i><i style="outline: none; position: static;">therefore exaggerated the health benefit of the product.”</i></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static;">
<b style="outline: none; position: static;">‘Stupid?’</b></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static;">
Despite being approved by the broadcast approver, Clearcast, the ASA also ruled the ad had inappropriately used an EU-approved cholesterol reducing claim by stating Benecol was,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i style="outline: none; position: static;">“proven</i><i style="outline: none; position: static;"> to lower cholesterol by up to 10% in just three weeks."</i></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static;">
<i style="outline: none; position: static;">“This attack on a European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)-approved claim has to be one of the most stupid regulatory rulings that I have seen,”</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>opined industry consultant, editor and analyst Julian Mellentin.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static;">
<i style="outline: none; position: static;">“</i><i style="outline: none; position: static;">The ASA panel who arrived at this decision must be composed of people with zero understanding of the regulation and the science. They should be called to account.”</i></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static;">
<b style="outline: none; position: static;">ASA reasoning</b></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static;">
The ASA said the Benecol ad had not been clear enough about what cholesterol levels of 5 mmol/l meant, even if WHO figures showed two thirds of people had raised cholesterol based on this measure. BHF data was similar.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static;">
In casting the ad as<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i style="outline: none; position: static;">“misleading”</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i style="outline: none; position: static;">“exaggerated”,</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>the ASA said some of the data was based on LDL cholesterol and not total cholesterol, and that some dated from five or more years ago.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static;">
Further,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i style="outline: none; position: static;">“While we acknowledged that the NHS Choices article submitted stated that total cholesterol of less than 5 mmol/l was advised for healthy adults, we noted that it did not state that all levels of over 5 mmol/l were considered to be ‘high’, rather than, for example, being considered raised or of moderate risk.”</i></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static;">
<i style="outline: none; position: static;">“In addition, we were concerned that the BHF 2007 report gave blood cholesterol levels for England but that it did not include a UK figure.”</i></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static;">
For the claim itself the ASA noted the European Commission backed claim wording flexibility but in this case was,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i style="outline: none; position: static;">“concerned that although the ad stated ‘LOWER CHOLESTEROL UP TO 10% in 3 weeks’, and ‘PROVEN TO LOWER CHOLESTEROL’, it did not include the required information about high cholesterol being a risk factor in the development of CHD [coronary heart disease].”</i></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static;">
<i style="outline: none; position: static;">“We therefore considered the meaning of the authorised disease risk reduction claim was significantly altered.”</i></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static;">
It said the supplementary information was not prominent enough in the ad compared to other information and concluded,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i style="outline: none; position: static;">“The ad must not be broadcast again in its current form.”</i></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static;">
<b style="outline: none; position: static;">Challenge?</b></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static;">
But this logic failed to impress Mellentin.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static;">
<i style="outline: none; position: static;">“The regulator is once again ignoring the fact that a company is using a legally permitted claim, that the wording falls very clearly within the boundaries of what is permitted by the regulation and that the product and the claim have been supported by eminent independent bodies such as the British Heart Foundation and several others.”</i><br />
<i style="outline: none; position: static;">“It's time that companies resisted this type of ignorance and regulatory arrogance. If Benecol was my company I'd take the ASA to court where they would be subjected to a humiliation that they richly deserve.”</i></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static;">
Benecol cholesterol-lowering claims were approved in many countries before the 2009 EU nutrition and health claim approvals that also included related plant stanols compounds.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static;">
That stated:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i style="outline: none; position: static;">“</i><i style="outline: none; position: static;">The Panel concludes that for an intake of 1.5 - 2.4 g/d an average reduction of between 7 and 10.5 % can be expected.”</i></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static;">

UPDATE 4-14-14: A "friend" of Adams posts this expose on another fraud in supplements Adams is selling.<br />

As it stands now, based on some recently uncovered information, the "health ranger" is now a "News Journalist". <br />
<br />
Software creator to "editor" and also a so-called independent reviewer.<br />
<br />
You have to be the real judge of exactly what color chameleon it is today. Might have been different yesterday, perhaps different tomorrow.<br />
<br />
As I've mentioned I have been copied from the inception of this wunderkind's creations. He started lurking in 2003 and copying without attribution. Could be flattery, maybe. But what about his defamation, and I've never even talked with the fellow.<br />
<br />
I've always stood on the fact that I have worked in media with many well respected companies over the years, and I follow ethical practices. <br />
<br />
Here's one thing you might find interesting. If there was real transparency that would be better. After all, isn't it "Truth Publishing"? <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Sound too good to be true? That's what I thought at first, too. But then
I took the time to meet the people, research the rainforest herbs and
experience their healing effects myself. Now I'm not only convinced this
is the company that's going to pave the way to sustainable business
practices in the coming years, I'm also convinced it represents the very
best business opportunity available in the natural health industry
today for anyone interested in an independent, at-home business where
you control your own financial destiny. That's no casual claim, either.
Keep reading to see why I've become such an outspoken advocate of the
Amazon Herb Company, even while refusing to become a associate myself
(due to journalism ethics, because if I got involved with the company, I
could no longer offer a truly independent opinion like what you're
reading here).</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make sure you are using fully natural vitamin E, no synthetics: "The hell with dl" </div>
<br />
Despite the occasional negative publicity surrounding vitamin E, this
nutrient has proven itself time and again to be one amazing
antioxidant. Case in point: Research published earlier this year in the <i>Journal of the American Medical Association </i>has shown that vitamin E can help slow functional decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease.<sup>1</sup><br />
<br />
This development is particularly significant since no <i>cure</i> for Alzheimer’s exists—only treatments to slow the <i>progression</i>
of the disease. Currently, two main classes of drugs are approved for
Alzheimer’s treatment: cholinesterase inhibitors (such as Aricept®,
Exelon® and Razadyne®) and memantine (Namenda®).<br />
<br />
These drugs may treat the symptoms of Alzheimer’s—like memory loss
and problems with reasoning—but they also have their fair share of
troublesome side effects, including nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite,
increased bowel movements, headache and dizziness.<br />
<br />
Researchers have found, however, that vitamin E may actually work
better than certain conventional treatments in slowing cognitive
decline.<br />
<br />
In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study,
investigators wanted to determine the effectiveness of vitamin E,
mematine or a combination of the two in slowing the progression of mild
to moderate Alzheimer’s disease in patients already taking a
cholinesterase inhibitor like Aricept®.<br />
<br />
Participants received 2,000 IU vitamin E (alpha tocopherol) per day,
20 mg memantine per day, a combination of the two or a placebo.<br />
<br />
At the end of the five-year study period, the researchers analyzed
data from 561 of the participants (140 taking vitamin E, 142 taking
memantine, 139 using the combination treatment and 140 on placebo). They
found that the group given the vitamin E had a delay in clinical
progression of the disease of 19 percent per year (in other words, a
delay of 6.2 months) compared to the placebo group.<br />
<br />
In addition, those in the vitamin E group did not demand increased attention from caregivers.<br />
<br />
More importantly, contrary to other studies that have implicated
vitamin E as the cause of increased mortality—especially at higher doses<sup>2-3</sup>—this
study actually concluded that vitamin E has a good safety profile, with
greater death frequency in the groups that took the memantine or the
vitamin E/memantine combination than the vitamin E group.<br />
<br />
In conclusion, the researchers wrote that, among patients with mild
to moderate Alzheimer’s, “2,000 IU/day of alpha tocopherol compared with
placebo resulted in slower functional decline. There were no
significant differences in the groups receiving memantine alone or
memantine plus alpha tocopherol. These findings suggest benefit of alpha
tocopherol in mild to moderate Alzheimers disease by slowing functional
decline and decreasing caregiver burden.”<br />
<br />
This isn’t the first study to praise vitamin E’s brain-protective
powers. Another study showed that people with the highest plasma levels
of total vitamin E, total tocopherols and total tocotrienols had a
reduced risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease compared to those with
the lowest levels.<sup>4</sup><br />
<sup> </sup> <br />
Specifically, people with the highest plasma total vitamin E or total
tocopherols had a 45 percent decreased risk of developing the disease,
and those with the highest total tocotrienols had a 54 percent reduction
in risk, as compared to people with the lowest levels.<br />
<br />
<b>Is E an Option for You?</b><br />
<br />
Only a qualified medical professional—ideally one with vast knowledge
in nutritional supplementation—can determine whether or not high doses
of vitamin E would be appropriate for you or your loved one with
Alzheimer’s.<br />
<br />
The recommended daily allowance for healthy adults is a meager 22.4
IU, but tolerable upper intake levels go as high as 1,500 IU.<sup>5</sup> The <i>JAMA </i>study used 2,000 IU. For general brain and memory health/maintenance, 400 IU per day should suffice.<br />
<br />
In many cases, the risks of disease progression far outweigh any
potential risks of taking high doses of certain drugs or supplements—but
only you and your doctor can make that determination. But, as this
study shows, vitamin E offers great promise, and its potential should
not be ignored.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">While Congress lets Big Food crush school lunch reform, new research shows just how bad the status quo is.
By Tom Philpott | Wed Nov. 16, 2011 4:00 AM GMT
While Big Food rams its Tater Tots and frozen pizza school lunch agenda through Congress [1], we're learning more about the effects of diets high in starchy foods and low in green vegetables. And it's not pretty.
I pointed yesterday to a vast recent Harvard study [2]finding that heavy consumption of potatoes—even in nonfried forms—leads to unhealthy weight gain.
Now, from UK scientists, comes a study (press release here [3]; abstract here [4]) suggesting that green vegetables may have even more dietary importance than we previously thought. (Hat tip Atlantic Life [5].) </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The researchers subjected mice to a diet stripped of vegetables and found that after just three weeks, the mice lost <b>70 to 80 percent of a kind of white blood cell called intraepithelial lymphocytes, which, the press release states, "play a critical role in monitoring the large number of micro-organisms present in the intestine, keeping infections at bay and maintaining a healthy gut."</b>
Also read: How the beef and dairy industries make sure school lunches stay loaded with fat. [6]
The researchers posit that a substance known as indole-3-carbinol, prominent in leafy greens, is responsible for maintaining these white blood cells. Take it out of the diet, apparently, and the cells die. Here's a graphical depiction of their findings:
One of the researchers, Marc Veldhoen, remarked that, "since the new diet contained all other known essential ingredients such as minerals and vitamins," the results surprised him.
But I'm not surprised at all. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Foodstuffs are complex; they are not the sum of their vitamins and minerals, calories and fiber, fat and protein, or any other isolated substance currently being fetishized or demonized by the food industry. As this study shows, you can't calculate the level of vitamins and minerals found in leafy greens, synthesize them, combine them in a vitamin pill, and then happily dispense with leafy greens. Whole foods interact with our bodies in ways we are only beginning to understand.
I predict someone will be inspired by this study to isolate indole-3-carbinol, synthesize it for a mass-produced pill, and market it as an immune-enhancing wonder supplement. If it happens, I'm willing to bet that that researchers will find that indole-3-carbinol supplements don't do the work of leafy greens, either. Recall that when scientists discovered the benefits of antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables, the supplement industry rushed out with all manner of antioxidant potions—which proved to be worthless [7]. It turns out that isolated beta-carotene added to a pill or a can of soda doesn't offer the same benefits as beta-carotene in the context of a carrot. Unfortunately, a recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study [8] found that <b>more than two-thirds of US adults fail to meet the recommended daily intake of at least five fruits and vegetables per day</b>.
"Eat real veggies" is something we could be teaching kids in school cafeterias. Instead, we're going to keep teaching them to scarf down stuff like "potato smiles [9]." </span></span><br />

Cross</span></span><br /><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">20th
May 2012 </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
most persuasive argument against water fluoridation is that fluoride
can</span></span> <span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">contributes
to the epidemic of dementia. Whilst proponents and opponents of
</span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">fluoridation
argue over the minute details of its direct impacts on health, </span></span>an
almost unnoticed revolution in the understanding of dementia in the
elderly is set to render such debates trivial in comparison. New
research into the relationship between aluminium poisoning and
dementia has suddenly thrown a new spotlight on the contribution that
water fluoridation could be <span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">making
to the future burden of dementia within our society. We ignore this
</span></span>new understanding at the peril of both ourselves
and our descendants.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
prevalence of dementia, and particularly Alzheimer' s Disease (AD),
is</span></span> already a far greater health concern than
cancer, and it's expected to triple in the next thirty years. For
years the cause of AD has been controversial, and the main contender
as the causative agent, aluminium, has been a matter of hot dispute.
"It' s the third most common element in the Earth's crust,"
these environmentally illiterate ignoramuses claim, "It can't
possibly be toxic!" Well it is, and now we have the proof. Now
things are about to change. In an authoritative review published last
year in the highly regarded Journal of Alzheimer' s Disease, Lucija
Tomljenovic <span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">concludes
unequivocally that aluminium accumulation in brain tissue over a
</span></span>lifetime is a leading cause of the onset of
Alzheimer' s Disease in the <span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">elderly.</span></span><br /><br />She
warns that "In stark contradiction with the abundance of
research evidence . . there appear to be "several hostile
intellectual attitudes" that reject the possibility that Al
toxicity contributes to the growing <span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">incidence
of AD. She says that the evidence that aluminium is not merely
</span></span>associated with AD, but actually contributes
significantly to its development, "is built upon very solid
experimental evidence and should not be dismissed." </span></span></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.2in; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Most
of the bioavailable aluminium that accumulates in our brains comes
from </span></span>our drinking water. That's right - it
appears that the almost universal use <span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">of
aluminium sulphate in modern water treatment works may actually
</span></span>constitute one of the greatest health threats to
the older people in our <span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"></span><br /><br />As
Tomljenovic says, resistance to the evidence that aluminium is a
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">causative
agent for dementia is extremely dangerous: "Such widely
circulated opinions hamper implementation of preventive plans to
lessen exposure to </span></span>aluminium which, according to
some leading scientists advice, would be the <span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">most
sound and cost-effective approach to the growing incidence of
</span></span>Alzheimer's dementia." </span></span></span></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.2in; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Why
is this of interest to the anti-fluoridation community - and of
course,</span></span> those intellectually paralysed health
professionals and politicians who <span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">still
think that it's a great policy? Because anything that increases the</span></span>
ability of aluminium to get into our bodies is liable also to be
capable of accelerating the onset of dementia in old age - and
fluoride is the most effective substance that increases its
absorption from the environment.</span></span></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.2in; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Tomljenovic
describes the problem very clearly: "In the presence of
fluoride, only trace amounts of Al are needed to produce substantial
neuronal injury. Both fluoride and Al when complexed in AlF-x
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">[fluoroaluminates]
appear to be more easily absorbed from the GI </span></span>[gastrointestinal]
tract compared to their ionic forms."<br /><br />She is
particularly concerned over the practice of water fluoridation: "In
spite of these observations, water fluoridation persists in USA,
Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, whilst most of Europe has
abandoned this <span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">practice.
. . .In fluoride-treated water, fluoroaluminates are the prevalent</span></span>
species. The enhanced transport of fluoroaluminates across the GI
tract and the BBB [blood-brain barrier], in context to their highly
neurotoxic potential, raises significant concerns about the
prevalence of these <span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">compounds
in drinking water of various countries" .</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
practice of adding to our drinking water the very substance that is
most</span></span> likely to increase the risk of aluminium
intoxication leading to Alzheimer' s Disease in the elderly -
fluoride - could not represent a more direct threat to the future
welfare of increasing numbers of our elderly. Already one in five
over the age of 80 develops dementia, and things are only going to
get worse.</span></span></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="line-height: 0.2in; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">It
is essential that we get rid of the aluminium in our public drinking</span></span>
water supplies, and stop stupidly adding fluoride to it. The evidence
that the cumulative effects of chronic aluminium intoxication are
responsible for this and related disastrous medical condition is now
overwhelming, and causation established beyond reasonable doubt.
Claiming that there remains any uncertainty about aluminium as a
primary cause of AD, in the face of the <span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">convincing
evidence that it is, is as perverse as the persistent and</span></span>
perverse fiction that fluoride is 'safe and effective' as a
prophylactic treatment for dental decay.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Now
it is apparent that two rampant forms of man-made</span></span>
environmentally- mediated epidemic disease - dental fluorosis and
dementia - could quite easily be brought under control. But this
requires both the health and water sectors to recognise their
responsibilities and take <span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">appropriate
action.</span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Dental
fluorosis could be brought under control within a decade or so, as
the last vulnerable children pass through adolescence and experience
the degradation of their teeth caused by their unfortunate exposure
to fluoride during their earlier childhood.<br /><br />But even if we
take action now to replace the aluminium-based flocculants that are
almost universally used in modern water treatment with less hazardous
substances, most of us will not see a significant reduction in the
prevalence of Alzheimer' s Disease within our own lifetimes. The
latent development period for dementia appears to be sixty to seventy
years, suggesting that exposure over many decades eventually causes
an inexorable progression towards the onset of this dreadful result
of chronic poisoning. </span></span></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />But
that is no excuse for failing to act now - this is truly a just case
for the imposition of the Precautionary Principle, for the future
benefit and protection of those who will come after us. </span></span></span></div>

Back in the early years of this century I was motivated to write an article about fats:<b style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"><i style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"> Nature’s Natural Foods - Fat Facts and Your Health</i></b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>found on my main domain, leaflady.org.</div>

</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
The reason I wrote this article was because of a dietician (RD as educated under USDA guidelines) who often wrote articles for the coop I belonged to at the time. I wrote a retort to the article that and was dissed because I dared challenge the dietician's recommendation to use margarine, and never use butter.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
About two weeks ago I was reading morning news on the internet, as I usually do, and came upon an article about a similar topic. The writer had contacted three dieticians (RD or registered dietician) for comments and each one of those suggested using canola oil.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">

<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
For readers of HYS who aren't in the cognoscenti I am advising that USDA promotes a certain (corporate promoted) agenda via dieticians, so generally they promote this type of food propaganda.</div>

I was so incensed about this that I looked up each one of these RDs and contacted them to try to pass on some facts. One works at supermarket chain in Illinois, one works at a hospital in Indiana, and the third is a nutrition science instructor educating future dieticians at a Tennessee college. Only the person from the grocery chain called me back but I missed her call, then called again with my message, and haven't received a reply.</div>

Genetically modified canola oil is in just about every food you can find if you take time to read the labels. Canola oil is part of the “plant sterol” scam in things like vitamins, aspirin, and other products under the guise of giving you better heart health. You even find canola oil in 'health food products' more and more every day, and you wonder why all the cholesterol cheerleaders are alarmed over rising levels, even for children 9-11 years of age. As if cholesterol testing can make an impact on rising obesity levels that so worries everyone.</div>

This excerpt from my article,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"><i style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">Nature’s Natural Foods - Fat Facts and Your Health,</i></b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>explains more -</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
“<i style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">Nutrition researchers report that omega-6 oils and trans fatty acids, such as canola oil and all hydrogenated oils can lead to serious health problems. Trans-fats contribute to cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol, Crohn’s disease, cirrhosis of the liver, eczema, PMS, breast disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, poor pituitary and thyroid function, heart disease, immune system dysfunction, sterility, learning disabilities, growth problems and osteoporosis</i>.<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;" /><i style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">It is best to avoid all hydrogenated and trans-fats, including canola oil and margarine. Canola oil is unsuited for human consumption because it contains a fatty acid called erucic acid. Erucic acid is associated with fibrotic heart lesions and is toxic to the liver. It goes rancid and becomes moldy easily. A recent study indicates that canola oil creates a deficiency of vitamin E required for heart health.<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;" />Nutrient-rich traditional fats such as butter have nourished people for thousands of years. Today butter consumption is down, yet cholesterol intake is up just 1%. Vegetable oil consumption (margarine, shortening and refined oils) is up about 400%</i>. “</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
Research at the University of Florida – Gainsesville, determined that as much as 4.6% of all the fatty acids in canola are<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none; text-decoration: underline;">"trans" isomers (plastic)</span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>also because of the refining process.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
Erucic acid is a very–long–chain fatty acid and this in itself makes canola oil generally unfit for human consumption. This too is a factor in the development of fibrotic heart lesions. Chemists tell us that canola oil breaks down into the following components: 5% saturated fat;<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none; text-decoration: underline;">57% oleic acid</span>;<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none; text-decoration: underline;">23% omega–6</span>; and 10–15% omega–3.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
Omega 6 oils are those that we get too much of in the Western standard diet. These oils are the ones we need to reduce and or avoid for health.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
Another concern about canola oil is that it too monounsaturated for health.</div>

Canola is deodorized in the oil making process as it has a very nasty odor in the natural state. Refining any canola oil and deodorizing it occurs at 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Any health benefit in this oil cannot be present as a result of “cooking” at high temperature.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
Most know that oils high in omega 3 lose their nutritional health benefits when heated at even low level temperatures. When you cook with canola oil at high heat (because we are told it has a high smoke point) the oil distorts the fatty acid. High heat turns it into an unnatural form of trans-fatty acid that has been shown to be harmful to health. Fast food companies have turned to canola oil for preparing food under government pressure to help reduce cholesterol levels and fight obesity.</div>

Many know that vitamin E in the correct form can be an effective tool in lowering cholesterol and preventing and reversing heart disease. In 1996, the Japanese announced a study wherein a special canola oil diet killed laboratory animals. Reacting to this information, a duplicate study was conducted by Canadian scientists using piglets and a canola oil based milk replacement diet.</div>

</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
In this second study published in Nutrition Research, 1997, v17, the Canadian researchers verified that canola oil reduced vitamin E to a dangerously low level.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
In late January 1998, Omega Nutrition, a major producer of organic, cold pressed oils for the health food industry published a statement in a press release that says -</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
“<i style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">If you are cooking with canola oil of any quality, you might as well be using margarine. In the case of refined canola oil, the important health benefits have been processed away — leaving the consumer with the nutrition of ..., white flour — and, dangerous trans–fatty acids have replaced the beneficial omega 3 essential fatty acids</i>.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
In the abstract of the Canadian study, the researchers made the following statement:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
“<i style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">It is known that ingestion of oils containing polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) of the n–3 and n–6 series results in a high degree of unsaturation in membrane phospholipids, which in turn may increase lipid peroxidation, cholesterol oxidation, free radical accumulation and membrane damage</i>.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
Vitamin E is absolutely essential to human health. When so much PUFA is available in today's diet, the demand evidently becomes more imperative because tocopherols control lipid peroxidation that result in dangerous free radical activity. This contributes to the formation of lesions in arteries and other problems.</div>

Now that you know a little of the history about canola oil – thanks to Jim Lynn, here's a little more for thought -</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
Canola Oil is the suspected causative agent for Scrapie, a viral disease transmitted to cattle that were fed rendered sheep infected with Scrapie. Both Scrapie and Mad Cow Disease destroy the brain's ability to function. In the 1980's rape oil was widely used in animal feeds in England and throughout Europe. It was banned in 1991, and Scrapie in sheep has totally disappeared.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
“Studies of Canola oil done on rats indicate many problems. Rats developed fatty degeneration of heart, kidney, adrenals and thyroid gland. When the Canola oil was withdrawn from their diet, the deposits dissolved, but scar tissue remained on the organs. Why were no studies done on humans before the FDA placed it on the GRAS (Generally Accepted as Safe) list?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
Consumed in food, Canola oil depresses the immune system, causing it to "go to sleep." Canola oil is high in glycosides which cause health problems by blocking (inhibiting) enzyme function. its effects are accumulative, taking years to show up. One possible effect of long term use is the destruction of the protective coating surrounding nerves called the myelin sheath. When this protective sheath is gone, our nerves short-circuit causing erratic, uncontrollable movements.”</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
Reading over the text, one identifies these words and terms -</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· Canola oil is in everything</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· Canola is a trans fat</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· Trans-fats can lead to health problems such as high cholesterol, vitamin E depletion, immune suppression, Crohn’s disease, cirrhosis of the liver, eczema, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, irritable bowel syndrome, poor pituitary and thyroid function.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
I limited this list to issues involving integrity of the gastrointestinal system -</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· Liver function is important to healthy digestion. Canola disrupts healthy liver function and may lead to cirrhosis and keep your cholesterol level artificially elevated.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· Fat soluble vitamins like E are needed for health and if they are not properly absorbed or depleted then all health is compromised. Vitamin E can help lower cholesterol without drugs.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· About 70% of your immune system is in your GI tract and if it is not working then your immune system works poorly too. The same is in regard to thyroid function that has much to do with metabolism and is connected with pituitary function. Eczema is often considered a symptom of poor immune status.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· IBS, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease do have a major impact on digestion and absorption of nutrients.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
And now you say how does this concern digestion?</div>

One new study shows that it is very important to eat vegetables, especially green ones. “The researchers subjected mice to a diet stripped of vegetables and found that after just three weeks, the mice lost 70 to 80 percent of a kind of white blood cell called intraepithelial lymphocytes, which, the press release states, "play a critical role in monitoring the large number of micro-organisms present in the intestine, keeping infections at bay and maintaining a healthy gut."</div>

This is important because about 70% of your immune system functions in the GI tract. It is also important because about the same percentage of serotonin function involves your gut as well. You can see now that food and mood are directly related just as is immune strength. (About 70% of food intolerance issues involve decreased levels of serotonin. Hopefully you can see the link to all the drugs that alter serotonin function when nutrition might just be a better answer).</div>

In a continuing education seminar I attended focus on this subject and the importance of a health digestive system made some much directed points in support of my claim that you are what you assimilate. If you cannot assimilate nutrients because of gut health issues or poor liver function, and even poor gall bladder function, everything just gets worse.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· Critical to have proper iodine intake because the integrity of the mucosa needs this. This too is where you connect with thyroid health from your gut. Iodine deficiency is linked to gastric iodine and with atrophic gastritis (atrophic gastritis is one side effect of the new serotonin type anti-depressants which contain fluoride that will deplete iodine). Acid blockers contribute here too.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">

While the gut health problems I listed above are an issue with canola they are the same - that for the most part - are the major gut health issues today. As this is rather complex I am not going to add more except that I want to specifically note the nutrient deficiencies that are connected with the current raft of these problems.</div>

Please consider the impact of other nutritional deficiencies caused by any prescription medications.

I'd like to add a note about vitamin A. The integrity of the intestinal mucosa is highly dependent on this fat soluble vitamin. Non-fat diets limit absorption of fat soluble vitamins. Beta-carotene is not adequately converted to vitamin A by many people so you are best to choose fish oil based products or combination ones. The negative vitamin A studies you have heard so much about used only beta carotene.</div>

Recently Dr. OZ told listeners to be very careful of this vitamin and limit your intake to 3500 units daily. Years ago the standard vitamin A product contained at least 10000 IU Vitamin A. It is safe in the proper form at 25,000 units daily. It is also effective to prevent and reverse pneumonia but at very short treatment with a high dose. SO please check your facts before you buy into what celebrity docs spout in various venues.</div>

Most studies are just recycled these days and not very valid as they are not based on any real science. Peer review means just that all your cronies have read the article and made a comment. Most of what you hear on the news or read on what you think are good websites are just reiterating the mis (dis)-information.</div>

What you can do -</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· First of all, be proactive. Read food labels and support the efforts to bring meaningful food labeling to all food.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· Don't buy canola oil for any purpose and don't buy food products that contain canola oil. Call manufacturers and tell them you won't buy their products made with canola.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· Avoid using margarine, including the so called “healthy“ products such as Promise or Smart Balance as these are both made with GMO soy and canola oils.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· Make your own spread with one stick of softened, unsalted, hormone free butter and one half cup olive oil sold in glass bottles (plastic bottles leech toxic chemicals into the oil).</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· Use grape seed oil for high heat cooking, or health promoting coconut oil (Yikes! another 'saturated' fat). These oils have high smoke points and do not get as damaged when exposed to heat.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· Eat smaller portions.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· Avoid drinking liquids with your food so needed digestive enzymes are not blocked or diluted. Make sure you stay well hydrated. If your tongue feels ‘sandy’ you are too dry.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· Avoid or eat much less food from fast food outlets.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· Clean your food thoroughly to remove pesticide residue and do the same even if it is organic. Remember the government wants to allow sludge in organic fertilizer.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· If you are 35+ always use high quality digestive enzymes with at least your largest meal of the day, but at each meal is best. You may also need Betaine HCl.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· Use the best quality plain yoghurt your money can buy (or make your own) and add plain fruit, vanilla extract or other natural flavoring. Avoid the products sold in the tiny packages as they are replete with additives and very overpriced. They also may be manufactured with non-fat milk and have artificial sweeteners.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· Avoid using anti-acid pills. Unless you have been properly tested and know you have low stomach acid these pills can suppress your immune system, interfere with liver function, and block protein digestion. Using acidophilus pills, digestive enzymes, Betaine HCl, EFAs, or other natural approaches will correct this problem without drugs.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· Never give anti-acid pills to an infant or small child even if prescribed by a doctor.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· Eat real food. And remember, it actually doesn't take that much more time to cook from scratch.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
· Buy organic and buy local whenever you can.</div>

<span style="font-family: verdana;">It's now been over six or seven years that I have advised people not to use hand soaps with anti-bacterial ingredients. The main reason for my advice has been that these chemicals, such as triclosan, disturb the balance of naturally occuring staph bacteria on the skin's surface (epidermis). Now here is more convincing evidence.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">The problem remains that this substance is not just in soaps, but many other items labelled as "anti-bacterial". It has been proven over the years that the process of hand washing, and the friction it causes, aids in the removal of dirt, grime and bacteria. A best bet is to get our natural hand cleaner with pure essential oils, and switch to one of our recommended 'safe'soaps, herbalYODA Says!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">By Kellyn Betts, Environmental Science & Technology</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">4-15-5</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Washing dishes by hand with an antibacterial dishwashing liquid can do more than just ensure that the plates, glasses, and silverware are free from grease and germs, according to Peter Vikesland of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. In research published this week on ES&T's Research ASAP website (es048943+), he and his colleagues show that the triclosan antimicrobial agent used in household dishwashing soaps reacts with chlorinated water to produce significant quantities of chloroform. The research also suggests that the reaction of triclosan with chlorine could be producing highly chlorinated dioxins in the presence of sun</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">light.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Because of its antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties, triclosan is found in toothpastes, acne creams, deodorants, lotions, and hand soaps. It is also incorporated into a wide range of consumer goods, including kitchen tiles, children's toys, cutting boards, toothbrush handles, hot tubs, and athletic clothing. As triclosan flows down drains, it is making its way into surface waters and sewage treatment plants, the bile of fish, and breast milk, according to the Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics, a consumer group. Since 2000, the American Medical Association has been urging the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to closely monitor and possibly regulate the home use of antimicrobials such as triclosan.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">The formation of chloroform from triclosan is of concern because the U.S. EPA classifies the compound as a probable human carcinogen. Moreover, the presence of trihalomethanes such as chloroform in drinking water has been linked with human bladder cancers and miscarriages.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">The reaction of phenols such as triclosan with free chlorine is well known, but Vikesland's research is important because "it ties the use of a household product [to] increased exposure to a disinfection byproduct," says David Sedlak, a professor in the civil and environmental engineering department at the University of California, Berkeley. "This research is important for demonstrating that the chlorination of triclosan can occur under environmentally relevant conditions," says Kristopher McNeill of the University of Minnesota's department of chemistry. "The fact that you can chlorinate triclosan [under] pretty mild conditions is troubling," he adds.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Since writing the paper, Vikesland's team has conducted follow-up research under conditions that more closely mimic those found during home dishwashing. The new experiments used EPA's maximum allowable residual disinfectant concentration of 4 milligrams per liter in tap water and were conducted at 40 C, which fits well with the cleaning recommendations of the Soap and Detergent Association. (The association's website says that dishwater temperatures of less than 33 C, even with sufficient detergent, are likely to leave a greasy film, while the hottest water most people's hands can tolerate is about 43 C.)<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Under these conditions, triclosan reacts with free chlorine to generate more than 50 parts per billion (ppb) of chloroform in the dishwater. When combined with the other trihalomethanes in the water, the additional chloroform could easily ratchet up the concentration of total trihalomethanes to 80 ppb, which is EPA's maximum allowable amount, or higher, Vikesland says.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">"Since chloroform and other trihalomethanes and disinfection byproducts are already likely to be present in the tap water, and since chloroform, the other THMs, and many other [disinfection byproducts] are highly volatile, there is a very real likelihood that washing dishes with triclosan-containing liquid could cause additional and troubling significant exposure to these volatiles through inhalation and potentially through dermal absorbtion," says Erik D. Olson, senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, a nonprofit environmental group. Olson calls the research "significant."<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Water treatment plants are working hard to keep the levels of trihalomethanes in tap water below 80 ppb, Vikesland says, noting that the admissible level has recently decreased from 100 ppb. If there is any bromide in the water, the level of trihalomethanes produced during dishwashing is likely to shoot up even higher, he says.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">The research makes clear that it is always wise to wear gloves when dishwashing, says Doris Day, M.D., an assistant professor of dermatology at New York University Medical Center. In light of previous studies showing that the levels of trihalomethanes in people's blood increase when they shower, the research raises questions about exposures to chloroform when antimicrobial soaps are used. At this point, however, no one knows what risk they may pose.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Vikesland's research also shows that triclosan's reaction with free chlorine produces a number of chlorinated triclosan intermediates, including 2,4 dichlorophenol. In the presence of sunlight, these chlorinated intermediates could be producing dioxins, say McNeill and his colleague, William Arnold of the University of Minnesota's department of civil engineering. The two have recently demonstrated that sunlight readily converts triclosan in river water to produce dioxins (Environ. Toxicol. Chem. 2005, 24, 517ñ525). But the more highly chlorinated dioxins that could be generated photochemically from chlorinated triclosan intermediates could be far more toxic, says McNeill.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">It is unlikely that such dioxins would be generated during dishwashing even near a window on a sunny day because the glass would screen out most of the ultraviolet light necessary to produce the dioxin. But the research suggests that dioxins could be forming near swimming pools in some situations. "There's triclosan in hand soaps and moisturizers. [If] someone who has triclosan-containing moisturizer [on jumps] into the pool Ö they're a potential source for chloroform [and chlorinated dioxin] formation," Vikesland says. The same is true for a child using an antimicrobial soap before getting into the pool, McNeill and Arnold agree. "You could produce a dioxin on the surface of your skin [that] gets absorbed through the skin," Sedlak adds.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">McNeill and Arnold say that the research also calls for more detailed studies of whether chlorinated triclosans are being released from wastewater treatment plants. Because triclosan is widely found in the environment, chlorinated triclosan could be a source of toxic dioxins in the environment, says Arnold. Research has already shown that the presence of triclosan can affect algae populations (Environ. Sci. Technol. 2003, 37, 162Añ164A).<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Copyright © 2005 American Chemical Society<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">http://pubs.acs.org/subscribe/journals/esthag-w/2005/apr/science/kb_chlorine.html</span></div>

<div><b>The Basics of Regulatory Toxicology: Protecting the Public from Harmful substances
</b>
By Paul Connett<p></div>
<div><b>A note to readers</b>
Some readers may find this bulletin a little daunting but please don’t be put off. Take it step by step. If you do you will know more about this subject than most of the proponents of fluoridation. We need you to be better armed than they are so please struggle if necessary to get on top of this. I am happy to answer any questions you may have on this topic (write to pconnett@gmail.com).</div>
<div><b>Many promoters know little about toxicology</b>
So many of the statements and arguments coming from proponents of fluoridation betray their lack of knowledge of basic toxicological principles especially as it is applied in the regulatory field. It is one thing when such poorly informed positions emanate from lay persons but quite another when it comes from pediatricians or people at the very top of large organizations promoting fluoridation.
Here is one shocking example. The appalling toxicological ignorance of the American Dental Association (ADA) was demonstrated when it dismissed the relevance of the landmark review by National Research Council of the National Academies (NRC) on the very day it was published in 2006. The same ignorance was displayed by the CDC Oral Health Division six days later. Both organizations argued that the NRC (2006) was not relevant to water fluoridation because the panel (they claimed) only looked at harm in communities with fluoride levels between 2 and 4 ppm. There are four major problems with this position:
a) The NRC panel looked at several studies in which harm was found at less than 2 ppm
b) Chapter 2 of the NRC (2006) review consisted of an exposure analysis that concluded that certain subsets of the US population (including bottle-fed babies) drinking water at 1 ppm were exceeding the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) safe reference dose for fluoride (0.06 mg/kg/day).
c) Neither the ADA or the CDC Oral Health Division appears to realize that there is a difference between concentration and dose. When comparing two populations and considering whether a certain concentration is safe or not one must first calculate the dose involved. This depends on how much water is consumed. As far as a harmful dose is concerned there will be an overlap between the doses ingested by individuals when comparing two communities – one drinking water at 1 ppm fluoride and one drinking water at 4 ppm – and even more so when comparing 1 ppm and 2 ppm. This overlap will occur even before we consider individuals exposed to other sources of fluoride. It is the total daily dose that is the critical calculation as far as harm is concerned. So both the ADA and CDC are incorrect when they imply there is a margin of safety simply because harm has been found at a higher concentration (in the studies cited by the NRC) and not necessarily at the 1 ppm used in water fluoridation. Concentration is not an appropriate basis for comparison as far as toxicity or safety is concerned.
d) They also ignored the need to use a safety factor when extrapolating from small studies to estimate a safe dose needed to protect everyone in a large population.</div>
<b>I will now go into more detail on these issues below.</b>
<div><b>The difference between concentration and dose.
</b></div>
Concentration is measured in milligrams (mg) of fluoride per liter (1 mg/liter = 1 part per million or ppm). This can be controlled at the water works. Dose is measured in mg/day and this cannot be controlled as it depends on how much someone drinks – and some drink a lot – and how much fluoride they are getting from other sources. It is the total dose that has the potential to harm someone. The concentration (mg/liter) offers no guarantee of safety. It is actually worse than that, which brings us to part b) above.
<div><b>The difference between dose and dosage.</b>
The same dose (mg/day) can have different affects on different people. There are two reasons for this:
1) because in a large population there is a large range of sensitivity to any toxic substance (more about that later) and
2) because the same dose can have a very different affect on people of different body weights. This is especially relevant when comparing the impacts of the same dose on adults and infants. That is why toxicologists use a different measure called dosage. In this they take account of body weight by dividing the dose in mg/day by the adult’s average body weight of 70 kg.
Thus supposing it was determined that 7 mg/day was safe for an adult (for some health end point), then the safe dosage (sometimes referred to as a safe reference dose) which can be applied to anyone of any weight including an infant, would be 0.1 mg/kg body weight per day. 7mg/day divided by 70 kg = 0.1 mg/kg/day
Going from safe dosage to safe dose for a particular body weight
From a safe dosage we can work out a safe dose for any age range by multiplying the safe dosage by the average bodyweight for that age range. Thus for a 7 kg infant the safe dose for this hypothetical situation would be 0.7 mg/day and for a 20 kg child it would be 2 mg/day.</div>
<div><b>The EPA’s Iris Reference Dose (Dosage)</b>
Going back to the real world. The (EPA) determined a safe reference dosage (for the end point of moderate dental fluorosis) of 0.06 mg/kg/day (the so-called IRIS reference dose). Using this Iris reference dose we can determine the safe dose for a bottle-fed infant – at least for dental fluorosis. Assuming an average bodyweight of 7 kg, the safe dose would be 7 kg x 0.06 mg/kg/day = 0.42 mg/day.
A 7 kg infant drinking 800 ml of formula per day made up with fluoridated water at 1 ppm, would receive 0.8 liters x 1 mg/liter/ day = 0.8 mg/day. In other words a bottle-fed baby consuming water at 1 ppm fluoride would get about twice the safe dose based upon the EPA’s IRIS safe reference dose.</div>
<div><b>The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry’s safe reference dosage for bone</b>
ATSDR’s reference dosage for the end point of bone damage was set at 0.05 mg/kg/day. A 70 kg adult would exceed this safe reference dosage if they ingested more than 3.5 mg/day (0.05 mg/kg/day x 70 kg = 3.5 mg/day). Such an adult could exceed this safe reference dosage by
i) drinking 3.5 liters of water at 1 ppm (3.5 L x 1 mg/Liter/day = 3.5 mg/day)
ii) drinking 2.5 liters of water at 1 ppm and getting 1 mg/day from other sources.
iii) drinking 1.5 liters of water at 1 ppm and getting 2 mg/day from other sources.
A U.S. Department of Health and Human Service’s (DHHS) report from 1991 estimated that the range of exposure of the American adult was 1.6 to 6.6 mg/day from all sources.</div>
<div><b>The large range of sensitivity to any toxic substance</b>
In any large population we can anticipate a very large range of sensitivity to any toxic substance. Like other human traits such sensitivity follows a normal distribution curve (the famous bell-shaped curve). The average person will have an average response but at the two tails – we will have people who are very sensitive at one end and very resistant at the other. Typically we assume some people are going to be 10 times more sensitive than others. This is then used to generate a safety factor of 10 (sometimes referred to as the intra-species safety factor).
Thus if we find harm in a small human study and wish to determine the level that would protect everyone in a large population from that harm this is what we do. We take the dose, which has been found to cause no harm (the so-called no observable adverse effect level or NOAEL) and divide that dose by 10 to give a safe dose for the most sensitive individual in the population. Frequently we don’t have a NOAEL and so we have to use a LOAEL (the lowest observable adverse effect level) and divide that by 100. Sometimes this process is corrupted and it is the LOAEL not the NOAEL that is divided by 10.</div>
<div><b>Margin of Safety Analysis</b>
Applying these calculations in a real world situation is called a Margin of Safety Analysis and shockingly it is very seldom considered by people who promote fluoridation. They simply use the very crude and highly misleading approach of comparing the concentration used in the study group with the concentration of the fluoride in the water of the fluoridated population as discussed above.</div>
<div><b>An example of a Margin of Safety analysis using an IQ study
</b>
Here I will attempt a real world calculation for lowered IQ. I will use the study by Xiang et al. 2003 who reported a threshold for lowering of IQ at 1.9 ppm of fluoride in the water.
Our first task is to estimate the dose range this represents for the children in the study – which of course, will depend on how much water they drink and how much they get from other sources. We believe very few of these rural Chinese children use fluoridated toothpaste and thus their daily dose comes largely from the water.
• If they drank 2 liters of water per day at 1.9 mg/liter their daily dose would be (2 L x 1.9 mg/L ) = 3.8 mg/day.
• If they drank 1 liter of water per day their daily dose would be 1.9 mg/day
• If they drank 0.5 liters of water per day their daily dose would be approx 1 mg/day.
In other words a reasonable estimate of the range of dose leading to a lowered IQ was approximately 1- 4 mg/day.
If we treat this as a NOAEL the safe range of doses of fluoride to protect the most sensitive child in a large population would be 0.1 to 0.4 mg/day (1-4 mg/day divided by 10). In other words we wouldn’t want a child in a large population drinking more than 400 ml (0.4 L) of water (0.4 liters/day x 1 mg/liter = 0. 4 mg/day).
If the Xiang’s et al. study is valid a responsible regulatory authority would not allow water fluoridation. Little wonder then that fluoridation promoters are doing everything they can to criticize the methodology of the Xiang et al. study and the methodology of all the other 36 studies (out of 43) that have found a lowering of IQ associated with drinking naturally occurring fluoridated water ranging from 0.9 to 11.5 ppm.
Fourteen of the studies, ten of which were part of the 27 studies reviewed in the meta analysis carried out by the Harvard team (Choi et al., 2012), found a lowering of IQ at or lower than 3 ppm. Using the same calculation as above the lowering of IQ was associated with a range of fluoride from 1.5 – 6 mg/day in these fourteen studies. Thus dividing by the safety margin of 10 a dose estimated to be safe for the most sensitive child in a large population would range from 0.15 to 0.6 mg/day.
Even if we take the highest (i.e. least conservative) estimate, such a dose would be exceeded by a child drinking about two large glasses of 1 ppm fluoridated water per day (it could be worse than that because I am using these doses as NOAELs and not LOAELs).</div>
<div><b>US EPA Office of Water is Not Doing its job.</b>
Using a large amount of taxpayers’ money the US EPA paid the NRC to do the review of their safe drinking water standards discussed above. When the NRC panel released its report in March 2006 it concluded that the EPA’s current safe drinking water standard of 4 ppm (both the MCL and the MCLG are set at 4 ppm) were not protective of health. The panel recommended that the EPA Office of Water perform a new risk assessment and determine a new safe MCLG (maximum contaminant level goal).</div>
<div><b>The difference between an MCL and an MCLG</b>
The MCL (or maximum contaminant level) for the contaminant in question is a federally enforceable standard and for fluoride it was set at 4 ppm in 1986 by the EPA Office of Water.
The MCLG (or maximum contaminant level goal) is a goal based upon the best science as far as determining harm is concerned with a margin of safety analysis applied sufficient “to protect the most vulnerable from known and reasonably anticipated health effects.” As the name suggests this is not a standard but an ideal goal. Incredibly this was also set at 4 ppm for fluoride in 1986.
What frequently happens for naturally occurring contaminants (e.g. arsenic) is that the economic costs of removing the contaminant to the desired goal (i.e. MCLG) is prohibitively expensive and so a compromise is set between the ideal goal and what can be achieved economically. It is this compromise level, which is the MCL. For arsenic - because it is a known human carcinogen - the MCLG is set at 0. The MCL is set at 10 parts per billion (ppb).</div>
<div><b>The EPA has not determined a new MCLG after 7 years</b>
It is extremely disturbing that after nearly 7 years the EPA’s Office of Water has not completed the needed risk assessment to determine a new MCLG.
Had the EPA used any one of several end points finding harm in the NRC (2006) review (but particularly the IQ studies) and performed an appropriate margin of safety analysis as discussed above a new MCLG would have to be set well below 1 ppm and thus end water fluoridation immediately. However, it may be that the EPA’s Office of Water is not anxious to remove the rug from under the program that the DHHS (or its preceding agencies) have championed for over 68 years.</div>
<div><b>Going from a safe reference dose to an MCLG for fluoride</b>
Once one has determined a safe dose sufficient to protect for the full range of sensitivity in a large population the following steps are needed to determine a safe drinking water standard or in this case the MCLG (the maximum contaminant level goal).
We will use another real world example. As explained above using the 14 IQ studies that found a lowering of IQ at 3 ppm or lower a conservative safe dose would be 0.6 mg/day (actually more conservatively it would be 0.15 mg/day).
Now we would have to subtract from this the dose ingested from other fluoride sources. For many children this would be well over 0.6 mg/day (from swallowing toothpaste and food sources). Thus the regulatory agency would have to conclude that given current exposures to fluoride no extra fluoride could be condoned. Thus the MCLG would have to be set at ZERO ppm (like arsenic and lead) – and that dear readers would be the end, finito, morte for water fluoridation!*
This looks like a clear example of bad politics keeping fluoridation afloat. If you can follow the above arguments you will understand this and be in a better position to argue the case.
Given a fair hearing, an application of honest and standard risk assessment procedures and an open-minded judge fluoridation would be over. It is a matter of simple arithmetic and scientific integrity. There’s the rub. Between that arithmetic and this result are powerful political forces who – for reasons I for one cannot fathom - feel the need to keep this practice alive at any cost. That cost today probably includes the lowering of the IQ of our children.
The shift in IQ maybe small, but as Philippe Grandjean (one of the authors of the Harvard meta-analysis by Choi et al, 2012) in his new book (Only Once Chance) explains, a small shift in IQ in the whole population is incredibly serious. For example, a negative shift of 5 IQ points would halve the number of geniuses in our society and double the number of mentally handicapped.</div>
<div><b>How you can help protect our children</b>
We urge you to support FAN’s mission to educate as many citizens, decision-makers and media persons about fluoridation’s dangers – as well as the political forces that are keeping those dangers hidden from the public - as possible. We need education not fluoridation. Please help us end this unacceptable practice immediately.</div>
<div><b>*Completing the MCLG calculation</b>
Had the number after subtraction of other sources of fluoride from the safe dose yielded a number greater than zero then a MCLG would be determined on the basis of an estimate of how much water people drink per day. Typically the EPA assumes that the average person drinks 2 liters of water per day. However, this assumption does not protect a higher-than-average water drinker. Thus at this point the EPA would have to determine what percentage of the population it wishes to protect.
In the 1986 derivation of the MCLG the EPA derived a safe dose of 8mg/day. Then ignoring other sources of fluoride, they assumed an average water consumption was 2 liters per day and thus declared that 4 mg/liter was a safe level. i.e. if someone drank two liters of water at 4 ppm per day they would get 8 mg/day, 2 L/day x 4mg/L = 8 mg / day.</div>

<br /></div>
We all know that for about the past 50 years antibiotics have been greatly overused in people and animals. This abuse of oft needed antibiotics has created a period of difficulty wherein most antibiotics no longer are effective when necessary.
If you're a regular reader of Natural Health News, the internet's first natural news site, you recognize that we have informed readers on the many helpful uses of niacin, niacinamide, or as it is commonly known, vitamin B3.
Now a new study shows us what may be another valuable use -
<blockquote><b>Vitamin B3 offers superbug protection</b>
The September, 2012 issue of The Journal of Clinical Investigation reported the discovery of Cedars-Sinai researchers of a protective effect for vitamin B3 against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a type of staph infection that is resistant to antibiotic treatment.
The finding is the result of research concerning a rare disorder known as neutrophil-specific granule deficiency, which involves a mutation in the gene CEBPE that regulates some of the body's antimicrobial factors. Afflicted individuals have weakened immune systems that render them vulnerable to infections such as staph. "Our goal in studying a rare disorder is that it may give us broad insight into the immune mechanisms that protect healthy individuals against staph infections," noted first author Pierre Kyme, PhD, who is a researcher at Cedars-Sinai's Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases in the Maxine Dunitz Children's Health Center and the Immunobiology Research Institute. "We found that if you over-express the gene in normal individuals, the body's immune cells do a better job of fighting off infection."
The team determined that a high dose of a form of vitamin B3 known as nicotinamide or niacinamide stimulates CEBPE, which enhances white blood cells' ability to combat staph infections. When the vitamin was tested in human blood, it boosted the immune system's staph-killing ability up to 1,000-fold in a matter of hours compared to treatment with saline. And in mice that received injections of 250 milligrams nicotinamide per kilogram body weight prior to staph infection, bacterial counts in the animals' spleens and kidneys were 100-fold lower after 48 hours compared with animals injected with saline.
The researchers suggest that targeting CEBPE with other compounds than nicotinamide could also help treat staph infections. Senior coauthor and Cedars-Sinai professor of medicine Phillip Koeffler, MD remarked that "There's more research to be done, but we believe that vitamin B3, and other compounds that are able to increase the activity of this particular gene, have the potential to be effective against other antibiotic-resistant bacteria in addition to strains of staph."
"It's critical that we find novel antimicrobial approaches to treat infection and not rely so heavily on antibiotics," stated pediatric infectious disease physician and coauthor George Liu, MD, PhD, of Cedars-Sinai's Maxine Dunitz Children's Health Center. "That's why this discovery is so exciting. Our research indicates this common vitamin is potentially effective in fighting off and protecting against one of today's most concerning public health threats." <a href="http://www.lef.org/newsletter/2012/0831_Vitamin-B3-Offers-Superbug-Protection.htm">SOURCE</a>

Natural Health News has over eight (8) pages of articles addressing the cholesterol charade. I am posting the top four (4) in light of the new push to get more people on a very dangerous drug that in reality has no real benefit to protect you from cardiovascular disease.</div>
What statin drugs and other anticholesterol pharmaceuticals do is harm your health in so many other ways it is almost unfathomable that doctors them selves do not do more deep research on the concept.</div>
You are at risk of muscle damage and kidney failure, heart failure, liver failure, diabetes, dementia, cancer and many more health derangements should you fall into this drug deception.</div>
There are many safer and more natural ways to keep cholesterol in balance. It is something you need not something to be depleted.</div>
If you are interested in balancing cholesterol please contact us for more information and natural suggestions that do work with a lack of serious adverse effects.</div>

Another pertussis cluster has led to the banning of non-vaccinated
children from a school district in the Tucson area. In all the news
reports the issue of "non-vaccinated children" is the target or
emphasized catch phrase.<br />
<br />
I recall writing an article in the mid 90s after interviewing a California (MD) pediatrician who also
included homeopathy in his practice. His emphasis was that it is the
non vaccinated child who is always the healthiest and has the most
resistance to disease.<br />

<b>From NHN 2008: <a href="http://naturalhealthnews.blogspot.com/2008/08/new-focus-responding-to-specific.html">New Focus: Responding to Specific Queries</a> </b><p>
Now the idea today is that it is
the non-vaccinated adult whose childhood vaccine has worn off and has
not gotten a booster shot may be the new target. Or it could be a
combined attack.<br />
<br />
A funny way to approach public health
if you ask me, after spending the bulk of my work over decades with a
strong public health focus.<br />
<br />
Sadly little has changes at WA
DOH since Selecky's departure. Inslee replaced her with another non-
responsive bureaucratic hack. <br />
<br />
Maybe, prhaps, this article will get some courageous health care providers thinking outside the box and give this a shot.<br />
<br />
But alas, "here we are."***<br />

While
it is a tragedy that people are dying from the current pertussis
outbreak, I believe it is important for facts rather than propaganda be
provided to the community at large.<br />
The AMA (American Medical Association) knew in the late 1920s that pertussis vaccine caused neurological problems.<br />
Now we know that the pertussis vaccine is often associated with
whooping cough outbreaks and many who have had the vaccine contract the

I encourage people to get the facts before you get the shot because
the government or anyone giving out these vaccines is required by law to
explain it to you, and give you the risk and benefit data as well.
Usually you are not provided with this information in my experience.<br />
You are probably not told that for whooping cough especially, that
vitamin C is a valid and effective help. Vitamin A in the oil form (not
single beta carotene) in short runs of high doses will help fight off
pneumonia, and it works well with vitamin C. Usually I use liposomal
vitamin C and Hanna Kroeger’s Sunny A.<br />

The dosages used have been empirical with a tendency to use larger
doses early in the disease as our experience of its effects progressed.
The acid is available at reasonable prices, and the danger of overdosage
seems negligible. Animals have received 2,000 times their estimated
requirements without any deleterious effects. Any excess is excreted by
the kidneys.</div>

<h4>
CONCLUSIONS</h4>
<ol>
<li>A method has been described for the treatment of whooping cough by ascorbic acid (vitamin C).</li>
<li>Ascorbic acid definitely shortens the paroxysmal stage of the
disease, particularly if relatively large doses are used early in the
disease.</li>
</ol>
<div>
The ascorbic acid used by us was the Hoffmann-LaRoche product sold under the trade name of “Redoxon”. <a href="http://www.seanet.com/%7Ealexs/ascorbate/193x/ormerod-mj-etal-canadian_med_assn_j-1937-v37-n2-p134.htm#Grootton-4" id="yui_3_2_0_10_1333547370347432" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Grootton and Beszonoff <sup>4</sup></a>

<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
risk of children suffering from flu can be reduced by 50% if they
take vitamin D, doctors in </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Japan
have found. The finding has implications for flu epidemics since
vitamin D, which is </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">naturally
produced by the human body when exposed to direct sunlight , has no
significant side effects, costs little and can be several times more
effective than antiviral drugs or vaccines according to research in
the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Only
one in ten children, aged six to 15 years, taking the sun shine
vitamin in a clinical trial came down with flu compared with one in
five given a dummy tablet. Mitsuyoshi Urashima, the Japanese doctor
who led the trial, told The Times that vitamin D was more effective
than </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">vaccines
in preventing flu.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Vitamin
D was found to be even more effective when the comparison left out
children who were already given extra vitamin D by their parents,
outside the trial. Taking the sunshine vitamin was then shown to
reduce the risk of flu to a third of what it would otherwise be.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Dr.
Damien Downing, a doctor and medical consultant has publicly stated
that governments "do like" epidemics as a chance to impose
their will. The London based doctor has been advising patients to
increase their vitamin D intake rather than get the vaccine.</span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">You
might be shocked to know that there are many physicians in both
Canada and the United </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">States
who prescribe as much as 50,000 IU of vitamin D daily as a treatment
for a long list of </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">chronic
diseases. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Dr.
John Cannell, MD, suggests high dose vitamin D (50,000 IU) be
consumed for three days at the first sign of a cold or the flu. If
you have an infection, the truth is you need more vitamin D. In
other words, vitamin D acts as a natural antibiotic. It works against
every type of microbe (viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites).</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Vitamin
D deficiency is common during the winter months, especially in
countries far north of </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">the
equator. Vitamin D acts as an immune system modulator, preventing
excessive production of inflammatory cytokines and increasing
macrophage (a type of white cell) activity. Vitamin D </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">also
stimulates the production of potent antimicrobial peptides in other
white blood cells and in epithelial cells lining the respiratory
tract, protecting the lungs from infection.</span></span></div>

Percent Reduction In Flu Infections Using Vitamin D</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Altogether
354 children took part in the trial. Vitamin D was found to protect
against influenza A but not against the less common influenza B. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
trial, which was double blind, randomised , and fully controlled
scientifically, was conducted by doctors and scientists from Jikei
University School of Medicine in Tokyo, Japan.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
children were given a daily dose of 1200 IUs (international units) of
vitamin D over a period of three months. In the first month children
in the group taking the vitamin became ill just as often as those
taking the dummy tablet. But by the second month, when the vitamin
level in the children’s blood was higher, the advantage of the
vitamin was clear.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
Japanese scientists, writing in the American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition, say that <u>the anti-</u></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><u>viral
drugs zanamivir and oseltamivir reduce risk of flu infection by 8
percent in children who </u></span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><u>have
been exposed to infection, compared with a 50 percent or greater
reduction with vitamin D.</u></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Antivirals
are typically more effective than vaccines for the influenza virus
which suggests that </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">both
forms of medical intervention would consistently fail in similar
studies when pitted against </span></span>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">vitamin
D.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Antivirals
are expensive, and possibly toxic. Vitamin D additionally supports
bone health but is believed to reduce risks of cancer, heart disease,
diabetes and other illness, including various bacterial and viral
infections.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
Japanese finding supports a theory that low blood levels of the
sunshine vitamin occurring in winter explain why flu epidemics
generally peak between December and March.</span></span></div>

helpful for losing weight, as numerous studies have revealed, and in a

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">UPDATE: 4 Nov, 2013 - Now it seems everyone is again jumping on my wagon when it comes to sound nutrition information regarding healthy fat.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Oscar Will lll wrote this in 2011</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Cut to the present, and the idea that corn, soy and other vegetable oils
are preferred for optimal health continues to be dominant, yet the
United States still has high rates of cardiovascular disease. We are
overweight and unhealthy despite five decades of low-fat and no-fat
health advice and faddism. How could the medical community, our Food and
Drug Administration and so many others be so wrong about dietary fats? <a href="http://www.motherearthnews.com/natural-health/fats-you-need-zm0z11zhir.aspx" target="_blank">Read his full article here</a>.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But even more apropos is a recent piece by UK doctor John Briffa, MD.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Briffa calls mainstream medicine to task on this faulty fat fiasco, and I am with him 100%</span>. <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">He too combines the faulty fat fiasco right along with a great new expose on the great cholesterol caper. Yes there is fallacy in the drug dictate that you all need cholesterol drugs and low cholesterol (NOT).</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Last Saturday, The Times newspaper here in the UK carried a piece I
wrote about the relative merits of butter, margarine and
cholesterol-reducing spreads. I think it’s great we have got to the
point where a major, ‘serious’ newspaper is commissioning and publishing
pieces that challenge nutritional orthodoxy and do not swallow food
industry misinformation […] <a href="http://www.drbriffa.com/2013/11/01/my-piece-in-the-times-which-i-think-settles-the-butter-versus-margarine-debate-once-and-for-all/" target="_blank">Complete article</a></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And he says more of what he has already said about <a href="http://www.drbriffa.com/2013/11/01/bmj-articles-exposes-the-ways-we-have-been-misled-over-the-benefits-of-statins/" target="_blank">cholesterol</a>, as have I for many years, (use the search box for my cholesterol posts). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So, won't you agree, it is now about time for the about face.</span><br />

<div>
For almost twenty years I have been writing about the risk of EMF and cell phone use to your health. This new study is of concern because we do know of the real impact of oxidation stress on the body. Perhaps it is time to rethink your reliance on cell phones, tablets,and all microwave devices.<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Cellphones cause oxidative stress, may up cancer risk</b></span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: small;">TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 6 (UPI) -- There is considerable oxidative stress on the tissue and glands close to a cellphone when in use and this may increase cancer risk, Israeli <br />researchers say.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: small;">Dr. Yaniv Hamzany of Tel Aviv University's Sackler Faculty of Medicine and the Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Department at the Rabin Medical Center looked for clues in the saliva of cellphone users. </span></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: small;">Since the cellphone is placed close to the salivary gland when in use, he and fellow researchers Raphael Feinmesser, Thomas Shpitzer, Dr. Gideon Bahar and Rafi Nagler of Tel Aviv University and Dr. Moshe Gavish of the Technion in Haifa examined the saliva content of 20 heavy-user patients, defined as speaking on their phones for a minimum of 8 hours a month. </span></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: small;">Most participants speak much more, Hamzany said, as much as 30-40 hours a month. Their salivary content was compared to that of a control group, which consisted of deaf patients who either do not use a cellphone or use the device exclusively for sending text messages and other non-verbal functions.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: small;">The study, published in the journal Antioxidants and Redox Signaling, found compared to the control group, the saliva of heavy users showed indications of higher oxidative stress -- a process that damages all aspects of a human cell, including DNA -- through the development of toxic peroxide and free radicals -- a major risk factor for cancer.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: small;">Although the study didn't uncover a conclusive "cause and effect" relationship between cellular phone use and cancer, the research adds to the building evidence cellphone use might be harmful in the long term, the researchers said.</span></blockquote>
