				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h3>[Tits; short for teats, mammary glands, breasts]</h3>
<div id="imagepost" style="float: left; padding-right: 10px;"><a href="http://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/jolie.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2635" alt="" src="http://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/jolie.jpeg" width="246" height="205" title="The Tragedy Of Angelina Jolie’s Tits" /></a></div>
<p>Medical science has moved forward to Mengele-style* Nazi mutilations, in the name of “medicine”. I am ashamed of my profession in this.</p>
<p>To mutilate a woman’s body in the crazed belief that this is somehow helping her is beyond obscene or laughable; for once I can’t think of any words to fit.</p>
<p>Incompetence is one thing; ignorance is another; there is folly and delusion; but this? It beggars description.</p>
<p>Why am I so incensed?</p>
<p>Because it is unnecessary. It comes from fear and ignorance and the silly notion that genes are the ruling condition of health and that, once you have the gene, you are screwed, effectively.</p>
<p>I know different: I know that genes can be turned on and off easily, like a light switch. I have done it thousands of times. Genes mean almost nothing. In this case having the gene does not mean you will get breast cancer and moreover not having the gene still means that you could get the cancer.</p>
<p>YOU control your genes; or in this case, she does. So why pay attention to genes?<span id="more-2499"></span></p>
<p>It appears the doctors have scared Angelina by claiming she has an 87% chance of developing breast cancer because it’s “in her genes” (her mother had the disease and died miserably). This is simply NOT true. The best that could be said of the stats is that, if you are foolish, don’t take care of your diet and lifestyle, like all the other idiots, your chances of getting cancer is as bad as theirs.</p>
<p>This scaremongering and abuse of statistics is part of the medical profession’s attempts to manipulate people and profits by creating fear. It’s criminal. They are, it is true, incompetent when it comes to cancer. But they won’t allow any natural healthy alternatives and so they are stuck with the idea that cancer is dreadful and very dangerous.</p>
<p>To protect their anti-Nature position, they pretend a science that does not exist. They ruthlessly steer the truth away from anything which they find inconvenient in their greedy world-view and no-one, not even a super star, is safe from their predations.</p>
<p>They call this “taking control” of the cancer. As if! As one cancer survivor angrily wrote about Jolie’s decision: <i>Alas, my experience of cancer, and that of most patients and survivors that I know, is that having your cells and genes go haywire is an object lesson in lack of control. Our understanding of cancer is still tragically incomplete. Our treatments are still, frankly, rather barbaric. And the outcomes of treatment are still rather random.</i></p>
<p>But it’s worse. Let me tell you something that sickens me in this mutilation scenario. If a person has a disease miasm or other energetic program or field that predisposes sickness, IT WON’T GO AWAY! Instead, it will just find another expression. The disease you now “cannot get” just turns into a different disease.</p>
<p>They don’t measure this at all. They will smugly tell her: now you cannot possibly get breast cancer; you have no breasts. But they will not tell her whether they have ever measured to see if this brutal and expensive torture operation actually helps her lead a healthier and longer life. They don’t even know the answer!</p>
<p>I can answer that question from healing first principles: if in the future she is ill or sick to die, she will get <i>something else</i>. I just don’t know what.</p>
<p>Western medicine sails along oblivious to the real causes and mechanisms of disease. To them, everything is physical. A tumor is a tumor and the entire “problem”; they blindly cannot see that the lump is the RESULT of the problem!</p>
<p>As for the stupid women commentators who “praise” her brave and forward-thinking attitude; they are condemning fellow women to folly and mutilation, for no proper scientific result.</p>
<p>Make no mistake: the approach that “this might be a good idea” is NOT science. Science is when you show it does some good <i>overall</i>, when reviewed honestly and thoroughly. In the case of something this drastic, it is also incumbent on the advocates of the procedure to prove that no other option is available. They can never prove THAT, because it isn’t true!</p>
<p>Poor Angelina; poor, silly, deluded (and mutilated) Angelina!</p>
<p>PS. Reconstructive surgery is very good these days and I don’t doubt her plumptious breasts, even her nipples, are still up for fans to drool over. But that’s not really the point, is it?</p>
<p>*Josef Mengele was an SS physician, infamous for his inhumane medical experimentation upon concentration camp prisoners at Auschwitz.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h3>Bacteria, Arthritis and Real Aging</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="imagecontent" style="float: left; padding-right: 10px;"><a href="http://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/bacteria.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2637" alt="" src="http://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/bacteria.jpeg" width="255" height="198" title="Bacteria flood our bodies and may be the real cause of arthritis" /></a></div>
<p>You may or may not know that joint inflammation, these days, is seen as often directly due to micro-organisms within the joint itself. Bacteria get in there, raise hell; inflammation and pain is the result and we call it “arthritis”. It has little to do with age and “wear-and-tear”, which is the medical school model!</p>
<p>This realization that an actual physical infection leads to arthritis is relatively new. Over the years, I’ve cured thousands of arthritis cases, using the food allergy/elimination approach. So, how could that be? It’s not counter-intuitive. If you eliminate stress foods, the immune system recovers from the overload and is better able to deal with the invader germs. Less joint inflammation is the result.</p>
<p>Remember my lifetime saying (one of dozens!!), that you don’t need zero burden to get zero symptoms; you just have to reduce the overload to the point where the body can cope. Step back within the threshold limits and the body recovers.</p>
<p>Anyway, a new controversy has erupted from this topic. Dr. Hanne B. Albert and colleagues of the Spine Centre of Southern Denmark have found that a significant number of back pain sufferers will benefit from a course of antibiotics.</p>
<p>Of course, Dr. Albert’s colleagues are stupefied and attack her relentlessly because her finding “cannot be true”. Nobody these days seems interested in what actually works; just what fits in with current dogma. The dogma is more important than clinical results, per se.<span id="more-2497"></span></p>
<p>Not that dogma has much to offer back pain sufferers. Recommended orthodox treatments include painkillers, hot or cold compresses, physical therapy, keeping active and (rarely) lifestyle changes.</p>
<p>In extreme cases, when other treatments have failed, surgery may be recommended and the patient is told this is the only option left. In my working life, I have never met a single patient who benefitted from back surgery—but I have met a good many who have been permanently ruined by these procedures!</p>
<p><b>Danish Study Rocks</b></p>
<p>In the first study of 61 patients who had spinal surgery for lower back pain, the researchers found bacteria in 46% of the slipped discs.</p>
<p>The work of Albert et al. validates and builds on previous work by Alistair Stirling and colleagues (and others), who found <i>Propionibacterium acnes</i>, a normal skin organism, in degenerated lumbar intervertebral discs.</p>
<p>The research team recruited 162 patients who had been living with low back pain for more than 6 months following a slipped disc. Half of the patients were given a 100-day course of antibiotic treatment, while the others received a placebo.</p>
<p>The back-pain sufferers were randomized into two groups: a placebo group, and a group given antibiotics daily for 100 days. Result: Patients who took the antibiotics improved on all outcome measures, in statistically highly significant fashion, not only at the end of 100 days but one year later.</p>
<p>The findings are published in the European Spine Journal.</p>
<p><b>Resistance To A Cure</b></p>
<p>As I said, the run-of-the-mill underperforming doctors are incensed by this suggestion. Media reports that antibiotics could be a cure for back pain have alarmed John O&#8217;Dowd, a consultant spinal surgeon and president of the British Society for Back Pain Research.</p>
<p>&#8220;Unless you&#8217;ve had a disc herniation &#8230; I don&#8217;t think you should be getting too excited, and I don&#8217;t think this is going to be a treatment for you,&#8221; O’Dowd says. &#8220;I think this is another useful building block of evidence, but I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s either a cure or the answer to back pain.&#8221;</p>
<p>Well, the spinal surgery that he does is certainly a disaster. But it pays the mortgage, even if it doesn’t help patients.</p>
<p><b>Where Do The Bacteria Come from?</b></p>
<p>The answer may surprise you. These come from anaerobic mouth and skin commensal organisms during normal bacteremias (bacteria in the blood).</p>
<p>Oh yes, didn’t I mention? Bacteria are swimming around in our blood all the time! Subclinical episodes of bacteremia are not uncommon; in fact they are normal. The typical entry point for bacteria arriving in the blood is the periodontal space (and/or the gums themselves, in the case of gingivitis). You don&#8217;t have to have periodontal disease or gingivitis to experience bacteremia, however. Any dental procedure, even vigorous brushing of the teeth, poses the risk of a bacteremic event.</p>
<p>Bacteremia is also possible when boils (pimples, carbuncles) are traumatized, whether deliberately (through incision) or accidentally (e.g., by shaving). Obviously, any open skin wound is also an invitation to bacteremia.</p>
<p>Bacteremia is also a common complication in urinary tract infections.</p>
<p>These &#8220;normal bacteremias&#8221; are short-lived.</p>
<p>But even a &#8220;normal&#8221; bacteremia can lead to trouble, because once bacteria enter the blood, they look for areas of inflammation in which to congregate and take up residence. So for example: catheters, implants, sore joints, slipped discs, and inflamed coronary arteries are all potential sites for bacterial occupancy. (Take note: the connection between periodontal disease and heart disease is well established. After adjusting for age, sex, diabetes status, serum total cholesterol, smoking, and hypertension, death rate for coronary heart disease goes up by a factor of two for people with gingivitis or missing teeth.)</p>
<p>What it means is that if your gums bleed when you brush (or if you have a problem with boils or acne), you could (arguably) be at risk for a variety of ailments, from heart disease to arthritis to chronic lower back pain.</p>
<p><b>Where Is All This Leading?</b></p>
<p>I want you to grasp what I have been teaching my subscribers for years:</p>
<ul>
<li>We are up against a continuous pool of bacteria; they flood our bodies</li>
<li>Once out of control, they are potentially very deadly</li>
<li>They cannot be stopped by antibiotics (because of increasing resistance)</li>
<li>You need to learn about alternatives to dangerous antibiotics.</li>
</ul>
<p>That’s the crux of this information; you need to learn about antibiotic alternatives and you need to learn NOW. The Golden Age of Antibiotics is over. Antibiotics are starting to fail.</p>
<p>In any case, it would be wise to know what you can do instead of drugs. That’s obvious.</p>
<p>But what intrigues me is the possibility of cleansing your “normal bacteremias”, gum disease and back pains by using holistic ALTERNATIVES to antibiotics.</p>
<p>You know what? There are countless workable substitutes, mostly safe and certainly safe to use if you follow instructions.</p>
<p>Some natural plant substances actually out-perform modern high-power antibiotics. But do you know what these plant and food substances are?</p>
<p>You should!</p>
<p>To learn about this and some day save a life in your family, get my powerhouse reader describing lots of safe, natural, holistic alternatives to bugaboo antibiotics.</p>
<p>In my usual way, I have loaded the text with scientific references; this is not some old housewives’ tale of what works and what doesn’t.</p>
<p>To be armed with such knowledge, you are ready to face the future safely, instead of ending up a “statistic” from random septicemia.</p>
<p>Read about this massive compilation of antibiotics alternatives I have called “How To Survive In A World Without Antibiotics”. Go here:</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h1>Ricin Is Deadly Poisonous</h1>
<p>A news item caught my eye, about attempted attacks on President Obama and others, using the castor oil bean toxin called ricin.</p>
<p>I wrote about this years ago (1993) in my book of that year <strong>The Complete Guide to Food And Environmental Allergies</strong>, which was published by Thorson’s, now an imprint of Harper Collins. Here’s an extract from that writing:</p>
<h2>Plant Toxins</h2>
<p>Nature has seen fit to endow a number of plants with the capacity to synthesize substances that are toxic to humans and other animals. Humans are probably only able to tolerate the majority of foods because of the discovery of fire, which cooks away toxins (although several plant toxins are heat-stable).</p>
<p>Farmers and veterinarians have known for years that animals become sick if they graze on certain types of plant (for example, bulls become enraged if they eat loco weed – &#8216;loco&#8217; being Spanish for crazy).</p>
<p>Many plant substances are toxic to humans in quite small quantities, including deadly nightshade, acorns and hemlock.</p>
<p>Ricin, the toxic principle in caster seeds (Ricinus communis), is one of the most deadly poisons known: a minute drop on the tip of a needle was used in an infamous political assassination on the streets of London in 1978.</p>
<p>The fact is that all plants, including edible ones, contain quantities of poisons. Carrots, for example, contain a nerve toxin: caratotoxin. And someone once pointed out that if cabbage had to undergo the tests that drugs are now subjected to before being pronounced fit for humans, it wouldn&#8217;t pass. Obviously, most often the amounts of poison in foods are tolerable. Toxicity is a matter of degree.<span id="more-2389"></span></p>
<h2>Letter Poison</h2>
<p>A letter addressed to Obama was received at an off-site mail screening facility on Tuesday, according to a statement issued by the US Secret Service. Field tests identified the letter&#8217;s powdery substance as ricin, but the FBI stated that field tests are not conclusive and must be confirmed by an accredited laboratory. Such follow-up tests usually take 24 to 48 hours.</p>
<p>Ricin disrupts protein production in human cells, which can be fatal. Symptoms of ricin poisoning vary, depending on the type of exposure. Inhaling significant amounts of ricin can lead to respiratory distress, fever, cough, and other symptoms within a few hours, followed possibly by hypotension, pulmonary edema, and respiratory failure. When someone ingests ricin, the first symptoms usually are vomiting and diarrhea. After several days, the liver, spleen, and kidneys may shut down.</p>
<p>There is no antidote for ricin, so clinicians are left with giving patients &#8220;supportive medical care to minimize the effects of the poisoning,&#8221; says the CDC fact sheet.</p>
<p>Castor bean is often mis-spelled as caster bean.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I wonder why they keep testing to see if omega-3 fatty acids are healthy for us. Can anyone enlighten me? It’s been a done deal since ever I was a budding physician. If you couldn’t wait for the “modern” science, there is always the simple demographic, that eskimos never died of heart disease or stroke. Their diet was hugely fat based, including plenty of fish sources (DHA and eicosapentanoic acid). Case closed.</p>
<p>Well, they did another study, just to be sure! (we’ll come to the real reason in a moment).</p>
<p>Basically, researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA, found those subjects with the highest levels of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) had the lowest levels of mortality [April 2, 2013 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine].</p>
<p>All-cause mortality fell by 27%, with most of the benefit due to a reduction in cardiovascular death. The rate of arrhythmic death, in particular, fell by nearly one-half. This translated into an average of about 2.2 extra years of life, just from this one nutritional intervention.</p>
<p>Such cardiovascular-outcome effects are consistent with abundant evidence from laboratory and clinical studies that omega-3 intake may benefit heart rate, blood pressure, myocardial contractile function and electrical stability, and endothelial, autonomic, and hemostatic function, write the study&#8217;s authors, led by Dr Dariush Mozaffarian. Bit of a mouthful, but you get the point.</p>
<p>Here’s what the average quack… sorry, doctor, will miss out on: docosahexaenoicacid (DHA) gave more benefit than eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA); but <span style="text-decoration: underline;">both together had the greatest effect of all</span> (I could have told them that, from 40 years of clinical practice).<span id="more-2380"></span></p>
<p>So, why were they doing this? Well… I had a peep under the hood and our Dr Mozaffarian is paid by GlaxoSmithKline, who just happen to produce a brand of mixed EPA/DHA supplements (Lovaza)! I’m not suggesting he was bribed or there is anything suspect; just that these things should be up front, not hidden in the small print, as it were.</p>
<p>And just last year, the FDA approved the synthetic EPA-only preparation Vascepa (Amarin), which contains ethyl eicosapentaenoic acid.</p>
<p>From the usual goings on, we understand that they have added an ethyl bit, to make a natural fish-oil into something patentable. It’s crazy.</p>
<p>It would be mad to consider taking these synthetic substitutes for something that Nature does so well ( The local river or a fish merchant has ALL you need!)</p>
<p>But be warned: they added a methyl bit to testosterone years ago, to make it patentable (methyltestosterone). But that resulted in it becoming cancerous and deadly. Ever since then, testosterone supplements have been looked on as carcinogenic by stupid, uninformed medical workers.</p>
<p>Ethylated omega-3s should be looked upon as carcinogenic, until proved safe (about 30 years from now!)</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>This is what Prof’s really been doing these last few weeks and your invitation to join me!</p>
<p>I’ve virtually joined the movie industry! I’ve shot over 20 videos so far and double that to come.</p>
<p>This is all about my latest and greatest marvel creation, my “Diet Wise Academy”. Come and join us! Don’t make the mistake of one of my friends, thinking this is just about slimming dieting (hey, what does she know?)</p>
<p>This is a whole revolutionary new medical paradigm, all about unburdening the body defence systems and getting miracle new states of health. Nature heals and we just set the stage.</p>
<p>Think you are healthy? Well, as one of the early videos states clearly, if you don’t leap out of bed every day with a wild abundance of energy, brain sparkling bright, on fire with enthusiasm, looking a decade or more younger than you really are… then you are NOT fully healthy as I define it.<span id="more-2368"></span></p>
<p>You need to get on board at my new academy. That includes you Boomers and elders too…  <a href="http://dietwiseacademy.com" target="_blank">Diet Wise Academy intro videos</a></p>
<p>To get everyone in the world nodding and talking, I’ve creating a series of launch videos, to share the excitement. I think you’ll be impressed with the quality and style.</p>
<p>You don’t pay anything, just watch this snappy intro video and then put your first name and email address into panel alongside. You’ll be transferred to a series of 15 – 25 minute videos, which you can watch at your leisure.</p>
<p>From there, it’s up to you. <a href="http://dietwiseacademy.com" target="_blank">Diet Wise Academy intro videos</a></p>
<p>Enjoy what you see!</p>
<p>PS Send your friends, by all means. But they will have to enroll to get at the good stuff! Even if you send them your favorite video, they will still get re-directed to the opening video, to enroll with us… Just so you know!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I knew Andrew Weil was a famous but very ignorant MD, living on his reputation instead of clinical skills. But I never realized till now how silly and ignorant he is.</p>
<p>He claims that solanine, a poison in some of the food plants of the nightshade family, does not harm.</p>
<p>He’s wrong: dangerously and stupidly wrong. He’s clearly too ill-read and too underperforming as a clinician to have become aware of the tremendous bad effects that can be caused</p>
<p>He says: solanine is a significant toxin, but you are unlikely to run into trouble with it in our part of the world, because we grow potato varieties that do not produce much of it. A 200-pound person would have to eat two pounds of fully green potatoes in a single day to consume a toxic level of solanine.</p>
<p>I say: nuts to that. He’s talking classic toxicology levels and completely ignores the issue of biological variation. With any toxin, there are people who can tolerate huge amounts of it (Rasputin survived a cyanide dose that would have killed a dozen people or more), and others who are made desperately sick by just small traces.<span id="more-2354"></span></p>
<p>Toxicologists talk about the “half lethal” dose, meaning the amount to kill half the population sample (typically rats and other laboratory animals). That’s their measure of how bad the toxin it. But here I am not talking about death, just serious health consequences, which for some people can come from very small amounts indeed.</p>
<p>Weil says there hasn&#8217;t been a single case of solanine poisoning due to eating potatoes in the United States for more than 50 years. That’s bunk. There may not have been a death but I say, as an off-the-wall figure, there are more like 250,000 people a day make sick by solanine in potato.</p>
<p>I know what to look for; Weil doesn’t. He just Googles his “data”, instead of knowing the clinical perspective, which I have learned over many years.</p>
<p>While this attitude of “no problem” persists, even among suppose holistic doctors, then many patients are going to be denied their rightful health, through ignorance and prejudice.</p>
<p>Symptoms of serous solanine overload include abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, drowsiness, mental confusion, shortness of breath, weak and rapid pulse, and, eventually, respiratory failure. But that’s the extreme case. I know people who have lost all their skin due to potato, had more than 20 years of severe depression from eating potato daily, ended up on a murder charge due to potato reaction and being unable to breathe through the nose for most of a lifetime, all due to potato and solanine.</p>
<p>So much for Weil’s estimate of not a single case.</p>
<p>In actuality, the nightshade family, to which potatoes belong, are a pretty toxic bunch. We can only tolerate them because we cook them well (raw foodists beware). This family also includes tomato, chilli, eggplant (aubergine), peppers and, of course, deadly nightshade or belladonna, a deadly poison from the berries.</p>
<p>And—if you need telling, which I doubt—don’t eat green potatoes. You’ll get bellyache for sure and possibly much worse.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>I mean, duh!</strong></p>
<p>Still, I found it interesting reading. The old dodos at least admitted they didn’t know much. But that’s because they haven’t been listening to doctors like me! For almost 40 years I’ve been pointing out that omega-3s reduce inflammation and zinc speeds up wound healing. Only last week I wrote a report that choline is practically the #1 brain nutrient.</p>
<p>What did they find in this study from the Institute of Medicine? Omega-3s reduce inflammation, zinc speeds up wound healing and choline is great for the brain!</p>
<p>The report was commissioned by the US Department of Defense and looked at using intense IV nutrition as early as possible, for brain injuries. Within the U.S. military as a whole, there have been more than 200,000 cases of traumatic brain injury diagnosed since 2000, according to the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center; 2,124 of those cases were classified as severe.</p>
<p>John Erdman, PhD, professor emeritus of food science and human nutrition at the University of Illinois and a bunch of colleagues, including a mix of food and nutrition specialists, neurologists, and other experts, reviewed scientific literature linking nutrition to brain injury outcomes.<img title="More..." alt="trans" src="http://letterfromserendipity.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" /></p>
<p>What they found was that infusions of calories and protein begun within the first 24 hours of injury and continued for the following two weeks significantly reduce inflammation in the brain and aid recovery. The long-term impact of nutrition was not studied.</p>
<p>The report also identifies several nutrients that have shown preliminary promise as aids in treating traumatic brain injury, in particular choline, creatine, omega-3 fatty acids, and zinc. The panel has marked these as priorities for future research, noting as well that there are many ongoing studies that are already showing promise.</p>
<p>The panel wisely suggested that the military should investigate whether nutrition can help reduce traumatic brain injury by making service members healthier and more resilient. &#8220;Does the antioxidant status of a soldier prior to injury have impact on the extent of that injury?&#8221; says Erdman. Good question! &#8220;We don&#8217;t know the answer to that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now they have begun to wake up to this, maybe the knowledge will soon filter down to regular MDs and benefit civilians injured in road traffic accidents and sports events?</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>If it needs re-enforcing, here is the main medical message all over again: don’t smoke and live a healthy lifestyle!</p>
<p>If you don’t smoke, you’ll live longer and are less likely to die of heart disease and cancer. We all know that (yawn…)</p>
<p>But if you are a non-smoker or gave up smoking, a good lifestyle can HALVE your risk of dying from cancer, cardiovascular disease and other causes, a new study finds.</p>
<p>Researchers looked at diet and lifestyle questionnaires filled out in 1992 and 1993 by almost 112,000 non-smoking women and men in the Cancer Prevention Study. The participants were scored based on their adherence to American Cancer Society prevention guidelines regarding body mass index, physical activity, diet and alcohol consumption.</p>
<p>After 14 years of follow-up (2006- 2007), participants who were highly compliant with the recommendations had a 42% lower risk of death vs. those who were the least compliant. Among those with higher compliance scores, the risk of cardiovascular-related death was 58% lower for women and 48% lower for men, and the risk of cancer death was 24% lower in women and 30% lower in men.</p>
<p>[American Cancer Society, news release, April 14, 2011].</p>
<p>Well, the ACS is no friend of ours and this could just be blowing their own trumpet.</p>
<p>But I don’t think it does any harm, to keep hearing this compelling message, over and over:</p>
<ul>
<li>Eat well</li>
<li>Keep your weight down to within 15% of your ideal</li>
<li>Exercise plenty (but not ridiculous)</li>
<li>Drink moderately (only wine, in my opinion)</li>
</ul>
<p>If you do, you’ll probably live on and on and on, whatever your genes are!</p>
<p>And, of course, get a copy of my <a href="http://www.outinfrontmedicine.com/special27.htm">“Get Healthy For Your Next 100 Years”</a> manual.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://209.59.174.35/~alternat/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Weight-Loss.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2342" alt="Weight Loss 292x300" src="http://209.59.174.35/~alternat/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Weight-Loss-292x300.gif" width="292" height="300" title="Weight Loss Overview   1" /></a>I have been meaning for some time now to write a book with an overview of all dieting (weight-loss) methods. It seems to me that I am uniquely suited to do it, since I don’t sell or push any particular methods. Plus, I have a far deeper insight into the complex role that foods play in our metabolism than most silly, self-aggrandized “experts” who are just on the make.</p>
<p>The fact that the weight-loss market is a multi-billion dollar market should be an immediate red flag. With that much money on the table (60 billion dollars last year in the USA alone), people are not going to scruple much over what is “true” or what works, so much as what <i>sells</i>.</p>
<p>Let’s start with a bit of common sense then. As I see it, there are only 5 ways to lose weight…</p>
<ol>
<li>Eat less</li>
<li>Eat differently</li>
<li>Exercize more</li>
<li>Herbs and hormones</li>
<li>Adjusting your intestinal flora</li>
</ol>
<p>OK, number 4 is a bit simplistic but I just mean the extras you take… supplements, metabolic enhancers, whatever you want to call them.</p>
<p>Number 5 will be a puzzling mystery to some but, in fact, could turn out to be the only reliable way to lose weight and not gain it back. It’s a complex new development, which I will explain in more detail when we come to it.</p>
<p><b>Mind And Belief Systems</b></p>
<p>We all know that weight gain is supposed to be a psychological thing, “comfort eating”, people’s self-image and that sort of thing…</p>
<p>So, what about mind control and hypnosis? Well, I think it’s fair to say that counseling methods, hypnosis and such are really aimed at 1 and 2 from the above list: they get you to eat less, or at least differently.</p>
<p>The same could be said for what I call the “disciplinary methods”; Weight Watchers is a good example of this category program, where there is a strong social or peer pressure to conform and eat within suitable limits.</p>
<p>What about bariatric surgery? Well, let’s just say that is a twisted and tortured (and expensive) way of also achieving 1 and 2!</p>
<p>I’m sticking to my 5 main methods!</p>
<p>Get started by reading a free download booklet here (no catch, no email needed)</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>My regular friends (readers) will know I often denounce calcium in no uncertain terms. While other doctors dole it out as necessary or “advisable”, I have been in print many times to say calcium is the last thing you want much of in your body.</p>
<p>Stupid (I mean REALLY stupid) science supposedly showing that osteoporosis is caused by lack of calcium and all you have to do is pump calcium into the blood and the bones will magically fill up again and go hard is as crazy as it sounds!</p>
<p>Osteoporosis, as a matter of fact, is caused by a number of things, none of which are lack of calcium! Magnesium deficiency is a much more significant contributor.</p>
<p>But really, osteoporosis is a whole-body nutritional disease, with no one single factor to blame. If it could be boiled down to just one substance, then I think I would pick on boron. Women taking 3 mgs a day of boron need never fear osteoporosis (unless it is already present).</p>
<p>But calcium deficiency? Definitely NOT.</p>
<p>Yet doctors go on pumping this stuff into trusting patients, in blyth disregard of the fact that in almost all other situations, calcium is dangerous! Seriously!<span id="more-2336"></span></p>
<p>It’s the hallmark of aging—more so than even wrinkles in the skin. As we get older we get crustier (calcium build up); it accumulates in the joints (osteoarthritis), brain tissue, artery walls (hence hardening of the arteries and heart attacks) and—worst of all—build up in the coronary arteries.</p>
<p>The latter is so definitive of bad arteries that it is the number one marker for atherosclerosis and risk of death resulting from a heart attack.</p>
<p>All repeat after me: WE DON’T WANT CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTS!</p>
<p>In a study just released (2013), a new analysis has shown that a high intake of supplemental calcium increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) death by a shocking 20%. But only men, in this case. Compared with individuals who took no calcium, men who consumed 1000 mg or more of supplemental calcium per day had a significant 20% increased risk of CVD death, mainly heart-disease death.</p>
<p>It’s interesting to note that this particular analysis did not show any effect for women. But do not be reassured. A 2010 meta-analysis published in the British Medical Journal showed that the use of calcium supplements without coadministered vitamin D is associated with an increased risk of MI. This increased risk was later confirmed in an analysis of the patients participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition Study (EPIC).</p>
<p>The best source of calcium is not supplements, it’s diet!</p>
<p>For those of you who have never read my osteoporosis book, it’s downloadable at no cost. Just go here:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.informed-wellness.com/osteoporosis2.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.informed-wellness.com/osteoporosis2.pdf</a></p>
<p><a href="http://209.59.174.35/~alternat/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/osteoporosis3D-2.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2337" alt="osteoporosis3D 2 274x300" src="http://209.59.174.35/~alternat/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/osteoporosis3D-2-274x300.png" width="274" height="300" title="Calcium Dangers and Really Stupid Science" /></a></p>
<h1>Anti-Aging</h1>
<p>For those of you still concerned about aging, osteoporosis and staying young, fit and supple for the maximum number of years, then you need to read my definitive guide to holding back aging:</p>
<h2>Get Healthy For Your Next 100 Years.</h2>
<p><a href="http://209.59.174.35/~alternat/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/aa-2-email.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1660" alt="aa 2 email" src="http://209.59.174.35/~alternat/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/aa-2-email.jpg" width="210" height="267" title="Calcium Dangers and Really Stupid Science" /></a></p>
<p>It’s full of science (as are all my books), covering everything from the health benefits of sex to the latest on stem cells.</p>
<p>It’s full of surprises. For example the number one factor in living a long and happy life isn’t a nutritional factor at all; it’s belonging!</p>
<p>Plus, I share with you that aging boils down to just ONE protein (progerin) and if we could beat just that one thing, aging may pass into history as something we don’t do any more!</p>
<p>I’ve a good page explaining the benefits of this manual here:</p>
