<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="td-modal-image wp-image-21142 aligncenter" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/gen-x-gen-z-boomers-millenials.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/gen-x-gen-z-boomers-millenials.jpg 800w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/gen-x-gen-z-boomers-millenials-300x200.jpg 300w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/gen-x-gen-z-boomers-millenials-768x512.jpg 768w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/gen-x-gen-z-boomers-millenials-696x464.jpg 696w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/gen-x-gen-z-boomers-millenials-630x420.jpg 630w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /><span style="color: #333333;">We are now the D-generation! (degeneration, get it!)</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s true, we are getting steadily older and (some of us) a bit crumblier, as the years go by. It varies: we have good folks dancing in their 90s and some in their 50s who can barely walk.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Whatever… the indignities of <a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/anti-aging-plan/">age are stalking</a> us and we need to keep them at bay.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the most evident symptoms of age is the question of pain and mobility, by which I mean arthritis. That too is variable; we have centenarians who walk tall and display little stiffness; while some unlucky individuals stoop and shuffle from 60 onwards. You can almost hear them creaking as they move about!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Of course musculoskeletal issues can strike at any age. Arthritis can strike children, where it is obviously not aging at work. The one thing I want you to grasp is that, for the majority of us, NOTHING is inevitable. Mother Nature heals, as you’ll often hear me say. It’s just that the process gets more difficult as the years advance. And, let’s face it, we never quite get back to how it was when we were younger!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Arthritis is a typical feature of aging. Idiot doctors put it down to wear and tear. But that’s nonsense, as the busy, active and flexible nonagenarians and centenarians prove. I’m not saying the pain and stiffness don’t exist. It does if you have a touch of arthritis. I’m just saying the explanation doesn’t hold water.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Listen, in all my years there have been many patients who had joint damage VISIBLE ON X-RAY and yet who recovered and got rid of the pain and limitation. In fact I used to use my old Wonder Question: DO YOU EVER HAVE PAIN-FREE DAYS?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If the person can answer YES (and many do) then there is nothing permanently wrong. What’s more, you can begin to doubt that bony changes on an x-ray are actually causing the pain! Otherwise why would the pain have an on-off pattern?</span></p>
<h2 id="link01"><b>So What Is Pain and Stiffness, Really?</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Inflammation! Every youngster starting out a med school learns the signs of inflammation: pain, swelling, redness and heat (which we learn in glorious Latin: </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">dolor, tumor, rubor</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">calor</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">). There’s another element thrown in as an after-thought: loss of function (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">functio laesa</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">). An inflamed joint won’t work as well as it should.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The corollary is that, if you can quench the inflammation, the pain, redness, swelling etc. goes away! And we know a lot more about calming inflammation these days than we did when I was at med school. Then there was aspirin and acetominophen (tylenol, paracetomol). If it was really severe, then corticosteroids may be brought into action.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now we have a wealth of herbals, for example, many of which have good science and sometimes these more traditional remedies out-perform regulated medical drugs. They are certainly a lot safer too.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Take curcumin. You’ll have heard of its formidable anti-inflammatory powers. It’s not that well absorbed but heck: it’s cheap and plentiful!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Boswellia (frankincense) is another one with solid science. I’d always take these in preference to NSAIDs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But there’s also ashwaganda, astragalus, cat’s claw (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Uncaria tomentosa</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">), licorice root, Fenugreek, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aloe vera</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and, one of my absolute favorites, Calendula. The latter I often administer as a homeopathic treatment. Homeopathic Calendula cream is WONDERFUL for burns (including sunburn)!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you suffer with pain and haven’t explored all these possibilities yet, I urge you to experiment with them. You don’t need a doctor’s script!</span></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Garcinia kola</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. This is yet another herb that has scientific backing. A 2008 study compared its use to Naproxen (Advil, a NSAID), Celebrex (a COX-2 inhibitor) and placebo. It was just as good but without any side effects. Whereas NSAIDs are plagued with gastrointestinal bleeding and an increased risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, including myocardial infarction and stroke, which can be fatal.²</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://urubeed.com/bitter-kola/"><img decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-21143 " src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Garcinia-Kola-1280x720-1.jpeg" alt="" width="575" height="324" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Garcinia-Kola-1280x720-1.jpeg 1280w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Garcinia-Kola-1280x720-1-300x169.jpeg 300w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Garcinia-Kola-1280x720-1-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Garcinia-Kola-1280x720-1-768x432.jpeg 768w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Garcinia-Kola-1280x720-1-696x392.jpeg 696w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Garcinia-Kola-1280x720-1-1068x601.jpeg 1068w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Garcinia-Kola-1280x720-1-747x420.jpeg 747w" sizes="(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px" /></a><span style="color: #808080;">From </span></span><span style="color: #808080;"><a style="color: #808080;" href="https://urubeed.com/bitter-kola/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://urubeed.com/bitter-kola/</span></a></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400; color: #808080;">Garcinia kola contains some caffeine so it will brighten you up!</span></p>
<h2><b>Joint Support</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One thing I’ve learned over the years, from others and even from my own experience of knee pain after driving a car for 6 weeks with stiff, badly-aligned pedals, is that joints must be supported. Meaning there must be enough muscle strength around the joint to support it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In fact it’s a preliminary treatment I suggest to anyone who is relatively inactive: to get some use out of the joint. By building the muscles, the joint is protected throughout its range of movement.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Believe it or not, my clinical experience is now backed up by a proper study of a tailored 12-week joint strengthening program from China. It found exercize was superior to NSAID treatments Celebrex, diclofenac and naproxen (Advil).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Study lead author Dr. Jing Chao of Hebei Medical University explains, &#8220;This study shows that exercise rehabilitation provides significant improvements in pain, other symptoms, and quality of life compared to that achieved by conventional treatments.&#8221;³</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It might seem strange, working a painful joint to reduce the pain! But of course if you want to try this, you go gently at first and build up. Don’t do squats. They put huge pressure on the knee joint. Just walk!</span></p>
<h2><b>Electronic Healing</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Then we have some amazing new devices to help with healing of all kinds. But they basically stop inflammation, which leads to pain relief, as well as healing in other terms.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chief among these, I would put the microcurrent (MCT) machines, such as the Avazzia family (formerly the Russian SCENAR). I regularly put out webinars on this family of devices and <strong><a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/avazzia-mct-replay/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">you can look at the latest video here</a></strong>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’m not quite so sanguine about TENS machines. It seems to me that the main mode of action is to make the nerves refractory (C pain fibers won’t fire off as they should). I say this somewhat timorously because my friend Normal Shealy invented TENS and he’s very proud of it!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another class of electronic machines are those which use PEMF (pulsed electro-magnetic therapy; sometimes PEME or pulsed electro-magnetic energy). These flood the body with friendly energies. OK, but it always seems to me to be a bit like drugs (meds), that you hit the whole body with a “cure” whereas the actually problem may be just a headache, sore hip, bellyache or some other small area!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anyway, let’s keep degeneration in check.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Regards,</span><strong><img decoding="async" class="CToWUd" src="https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/meips/ADKq_NYgdKQHOY44h_iaDhUF01IJZ13lco6laQLLwCA8p1V0ThzEeHH9raTPpf4u231jyW2UVRSJeCVjaV5kwaywT11EPymtOFAu7MhfUScBFe52uBznF3jj3ZZr=s0-d-e1-ft#https://i.ontraport.com/165788.2dbe11b4a36f687b9c2739602403fc91.PNG" alt="" data-bit="iit" /></strong><strong>Prof. Keith Scott-Mumby</strong><br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I don’t want to put bad or shocking stories before you and in fact this is NOT a horrible story; it has a great outcome!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But it does concern people who—often through no fault of their own—age very badly and really suffer under care. I know my readers are pretty vibrant and engaged with life to the full (if not, report to my office tomorrow morning!) But this inspiring story may give you something with which to help others, to give them confidence, to help change the stigma of <a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/your-personal-anti-aging-plan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aging</a> and to encourage love and family ties.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This story tells of a lovely French woman, Fiona Lauriol, who rescued her grandmother Dominique, age 101, from a grim old-folks home. The two went off on an unforgettable 18-month camper van road trip around Spain and the old lady grew younger every day. It’s a magical tale!</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ms Lauriol has since recounted their adventure in a book: </span><b>101 Ans – Mémé part en vadrouille</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (101 years-old – Granny goes on a trip) which has sold more than 10,000 copies and which still awaits an English translation. I can’t wait to read it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The trip took them to Spain, where Dominique Cavanna, Fiona’s then-101-year-old Italian-born grandmother, experienced her first Holy Week, attended her first concert, sang with street artists in Almeria, participated in walking the Camino, basked in hot springs, and went to Portugal. This is after being given one week to live by the incompetent doctors in charge!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The more we travelled, the more I realized she was coming back to life,” said Fiona. Subsequently, Fiona and her parents went on the road again, in a nationwide camper van trip of nursing homes to raise awareness around old age.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The English newspaper </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Connexion</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, (for Brits residing in France) asked Fiona a series of questions. Her answers were sometimes breathtaking!</span></p>
<p id="link01"><b>What has the reaction been so far? </b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s very good feedback because it raises awareness and changes people’s views of old age. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most people think that at a certain age, we no longer have the desire to live and simply wait for death. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But people still want to live their life to the fullest. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When I told young people that my grandmother saw her first concert aged 102, they began to see older people differently. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If we exclude the elderly from our society, what do we expect them to say about us if we leave them staring at an empty wall waiting for the end? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We are considered old at around 65. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s say someone lives until 105, it means he or she will hear continuously for 40 years that they should be careful in case they break a bone or die. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is not how anyone should live. </span></p>
<p><b>This is a reference to your grandmother’s own situation, when you spotted her in a room six months after you took her out of a care home&#8230; </b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When I spotted her watching that wall with such an empty look in her eyes, it gave me the shivers. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Getting old should not resemble that. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When we decided to take her on a road trip in a camper van, my parents and I first took her on a 40-day road trip as a test. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She did not know what a camper van was, and things went horribly wrong. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She broke her nose near the Lac du Salagou and the operation required stitches. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When there was a hail storm she thought France was being bombarded again. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We never saw the Mediterranean coast, nor were we able to visit her native Italy. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When we came back, I thought she would have never wanted to go through that experience again. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Next morning, she told us: “Ok, I have slept enough. When do we start again?” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you look at the photos from the start of the trip, she is hunchbacked and knocked out by the medication. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She was struggling to stand on her legs and had lost fifteen kilos. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the journey went on she looked younger. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-19865 " src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image.jpeg" alt="" width="489" height="367" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image.jpeg 665w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image-300x225.jpeg 300w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image-560x420.jpeg 560w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image-80x60.jpeg 80w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image-265x198.jpeg 265w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 489px) 100vw, 489px" /><span style="color: #808080;">Granddaughter and Grandma</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When people ask me what the miracle cure is, I tell them it’s having a perspective of the future. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Every day was different and the unexpected was part of the journey. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It took six months to get her back on her feet and six months to be able to leave in a camper van. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Over the first two weeks, I wondered what I had got myself into. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But with a lot of love and patience, you can do so much. </span></p>
<p><b>What is your take on <a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/guess-which-country-is-ranked-number-1-for-health-care/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">health professionals</a> after she defied the official diagnosis for her life expectancy? </b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My opinion is that beyond a certain age, professionals are no longer interested. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You are told that you are old, that’s it. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I think the diagnosis indirectly takes into consideration the environment she lived in. If I had not taken her out of the care home, she probably would have died within a week. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I think overprotection is the second reason. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The doctor advised me that if she died in my car, I would bear responsibility. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But I thought since she had one week left, my risk was very low. </span></p>
<p><b>So you think this overprotection is what leads them inevitably towards… <a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/why-quality-sleep-is-impoartant/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Death</a>. </b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The elderly are excluded from society, treated as useless and spoken to like babies. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We do not like our parents to speak to us in that way, but this is exactly what we do to them when they reach old age. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One nursing home told us about a 97-year-old lady whose children refused to let her take the hot-air balloon trip she always dreamed of because it was ‘too dangerous’, but who asked her nevertheless to take a flight to Nice to visit them during the summer. (Laughs) That’s the irony of it. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am fighting this attitude to give the elderly back their place in society, after having more or less excluded them, or implied that they were useless. </span></p>
<p><b>Are you the proof that hope springs eternal? </b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I think so. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I was criticized for having kept up hope, but it may be the combination of hope, love, patience and the desire to live life to the full that allowed her to die peacefully. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You should have seen her face when she went for that eternal sleep. We should all go like that. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She looked like she was having a great dream. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This contrasted with my other grandmother, who died of Charcot’s disease and who suffered a martyr’s death by enduring intensive medication despite the fact that no treatment exists. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My book makes people dream, but once they have read the last page, they will move on. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The only way to change people’s views is to go out into the field and convince them that there is not just one way, that we have to give our time and put humanity back into our society. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We need this because not everyone can go away in a camper van or look after their parents and grandparents. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">People want more humanity and communication. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We need more volunteers and more openness to the outside world. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is a subject that affects the whole of society. It is not a religious or political issue.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Amen, nevertheless Fiona!</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Everyone supposes that your thoughts and emotions drive your facial expressions. But how may people know that facial expressions also drive your mood?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Not much is written about this but there are clues. They say if you look UP (head held high), you can’t feel depressed. But if you look down (head lowered) you can’t feel cheerful. Try it, you’ll largely agree it’s true, though there are exceptions to everything, of course.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You may know how to do a “happy face”: you smile, even if it hurts, lift your head up and look the world in the eye. Pretty soon you start feeling things are not so bad and if you can keep it up for long enough, you’ll start to smile for real!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you want to really change how you feel, start laughing… Just laugh for no reason. That’s alien to a lot of people; the common response is “I have nothing to laugh about.” But you don’t need a reason; you laugh for no reason! Pretty soon the world seems a brighter, happier place.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This stuff is not secret… but you don’t see it written about very much. Yet it’s very important; if you can change your mood by changing your face and posture, why don’t we do it more? Put the emotion there and then you’ll start to feel it. Clowns do this famously: the broken-hearted clown who smiles and acts ever-so-jolly anyway, getting the kids to laugh. It’s an archetype.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The NLP people (neuro-linguistic programming) have had a cute question for decades: we ask a person “How do you DO happiness?” or “How do you DO angry?”</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-19839 size-full" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/doing-anger.jpeg" alt="" width="722" height="406" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/doing-anger.jpeg 722w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/doing-anger-300x169.jpeg 300w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/doing-anger-696x391.jpeg 696w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 722px) 100vw, 722px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The idea is to make the person realize that emotions don’t just happen to a person, as everybody supposes. He or she CREATES it for themselves. So a person might answer that he or she does angry by standing aggressively, eyeballing a person in a threatening way, raises the pitch and volume of the voice and feels hot and red in the face (that’s what I do, anyway!)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I do not go along with the corny stance that “She made me angry”; it’s hogwash. You make yourself angry, in response to something or other. Same with sadness, fear and despair.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nobody teaches these skills. But it should be taught standardly—at school, at Sunday school and in the home—in the way we are taught to be polite, non-abrasive, respectful and honest. We should learn how to “do” only the best emotions and, naturally, learn how to interrupt or spoil the making of poor emotions!</span></p>
<h2 id="link01"><b>Botox</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now what about <a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/is-botox-safe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Botox injections</a>? It’s a treatment that paralyzes your facial expressions… Has anyone asked the question: does that not affect or even paralyze your moods too?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Surprisingly, the answer is a resounding YES. Quite a number of disturbing studies have made it clear that losing the power of facial expression also diminishes mood, or what doctors and psychologists call “affect”.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This should be no surprise, if you have grasped what I said in the first three paragraphs. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And that’s in addition to the many and often dangerous side-effects caused by Botox. That stuff is deadly: a jam jar full of Botox powder could kill everyone on planet earth. OF COURSE the manufacturers and proponents play down the dangers; it’s totally safe in the right hands, they say; the quantities are so tiny, they pose no threat. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All such reassurances are based on the assumption that the injected Botox stays where it is put. But that’s a load of hooey! You don’t expect penicillin or B12 shots to stay at the site of the injection, do you? What would be the point?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yet, we are supposed to accept the con that Botox does, indeed, stay put.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Then why do some people end up with difficulty swallowing, speaking or breathing? That’s not consistent with the “official” narrative (backed by the FDA) is it?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In fact the manufacturer Allergan&#8217;s website is quite candid about the dangers, and I quote:</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">BOTOX® Cosmetic may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening. </span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Including: Problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing, due to weakening of associated muscles, can be severe </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">and result in loss of life</span></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. You are at the highest risk if these problems are pre-existing before injection. Swallowing problems may last for several months.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Would anyone in their right mind seriously submit to the threat of death, just to get rid of wrinkles? Of course not… So they lie and hide the truth. Patients are told it’s perfectly safe. There is no real informed consent.</span></p>
<h2><b>Spread Of Toxin Effects</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The truth is, the <a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/are-electrical-toxins-destroying-your-health/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">toxin does not stay put</a>. The effect of botulinum toxin may affect areas away from the injection site and cause serious symptoms including: loss of strength and all-over muscle weakness, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice, trouble saying words clearly, loss of bladder control, trouble breathing, and trouble swallowing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We now know that botulinum toxin can travel widely beyond the site of injection directly to the central nervous system. </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Science Daily</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> reported on this finding in 2015. Measurable amounts of the potent toxin used for cosmetic surgery escapes into the central nervous system, they said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">UQ Queensland Brain Institute laboratory leader Professor Frederic Meunier said &#8220;The discovery that some of the injected toxin can travel through our nerves is worrying, considering the extreme potency of the toxin. “</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;While no side-effects of using Botox medically have been found yet, finding out how this highly active toxin travels to the central nervous system is vital because this pathway is also hijacked by other pathogens such as West Nile or Rabies viruses.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This comment is disingenuous, because medical side effects have been noted and published widely. I do not believe he could be unaware of these publications.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr Tong Wang, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Professor Meunier&#8217;s laboratory, discovered that most of the toxin is transported to a cellular dump where it is meant to be degraded upon reaching the central nervous system.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;For the first time, we&#8217;ve been able to visualize single molecules of Botulinum toxin traveling at high speed through our nerves,&#8221; Dr Wang said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;We found that some of the active toxins manage to escape this route and intoxicate neighboring cells, so we need to investigate this further and find out how.&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Findings of the research are published in the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Journal of Neuroscience</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">.<sup>1</sup></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But the REAL worry is not mishaps and complications of the procedure. It’s whether or not Botox is capable of altering someone’s state of mind in an adverse way. And, yes, it can.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Something which would horrify many aware spiritual citizens is that Botox use recommends that it be injected directly into the procerus muscle, dead in line with the mystical Third Eye (basically the pineal gland). In Chinese acupuncture this point is known as the Yin Tang, and is known as an &#8220;extraordinary point,&#8221; i.e. it stands on its own and is not part of any existing meridian.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yin Tang is said to calm the spirit, ease anxiety &amp; worry, it activates intuition, &amp; brings profound presence. It shouldn’t be blasted by a toxic chemical.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I aver that the major harm from Botox is that it clouds emotions, reduces affect (less emotional feeling) and blocks the sweetness of human interaction. Here’s proof.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A 2009 study titled, &#8220;The link between facial feedback and neural activity within central circuitries of emotion&#8211;new insights from botulinum toxin-induced denervation of frown muscles,&#8221; found that Botox treatment reduced the activation of the left amygdala and its functional coupling with brain stem regions implicated in autonomic manifestations of emotional states.<sup>2</sup></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A 2010 study titled, &#8220;Cosmetic use of botulinum toxin-A affects processing of emotional language, reveals that Botox-induced blocking facial expression by peripheral denervation of facial musculature selectively hinders emotional language processing.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A 2011 study titled, &#8220;Embodied Emotion Perception,&#8221; found that Botox injections dampened emotion perception by interfering with muscular feedback from the face, effectively interfering with their ability to empathize.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And of course it blocks the ability to generate warm, friendly emotions, as described in the opening paras.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">2014 study titled, &#8220;Botulinum toxin-induced facial muscle paralysis affects amygdala responses to the perception of emotional expressions: preliminary findings from an A-B-A design, &#8221; found that Botox affects emotional experience by interfering with the feedback signals from facial muscles. Specifically, Botox interfered with amygdala activity, a part of the brain&#8217;s limbic system associated with memory, survival instinct, and emotions in general.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Touchy-Feely? Not after Botox I’m afraid.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A 2014 study titled, &#8220;Altered cortical activation from the hand after facial botulinum toxin treatment,&#8221; found that Botox-induced loss of facial movements alters the cortical circuits involved in processing tactile inputs from the hand. The researchers concluded: &#8220;This suggests that the limited paralysis of facial muscles induced during cosmetic interventions designed to smooth lines and wrinkles on the face is sufficient to alter the cortical processing of tactile inputs from the hand.&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After Botox, you can’t feel objects or people with the same degree of subtlety!</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">2016 study titled, &#8220;Deeper than skin deep – The effect of botulinum toxin-A on emotion processing,&#8221; found that emotional stimuli were blunted after Botox use, and that they became slower at categorizing emotional facial expressions under time pressure.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><sup>3</sup></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And what started me on this was a recent (2023) study in the British journal, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The New Scientist</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, 23 March 2023, which reports that researchers conducted fMRI brain scans on people before and after receiving Botox injections, which confirmed that the treatment appears to alter our ability to react to emotion in others.<sup>4</sup></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">?This is a huge price to pay for getting rid of wrinkles, WHICH ARE NOT PATHOLOGY and should not be medicalized. I must share with my Third Age Wisdom friends that, as Clarence Day Jr. (1874 – 1935) wrote, &#8220;Age should not have its face lifted, but it should rather teach the world to admire wrinkles as the etchings of experience and the firm line of character.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Personally, I recall with huge merriment Sir Billy Connolly describing himself as “windswept and interesting”! You gotta love Billy!</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><b>This is an important announcement, rather than my usual newsletter. I decided to switch at the last minute, since the news is current and very critical to us all.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The FDA is coming for your final years. They want to take them away and have you die sooner.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Strictly speaking, it’s a greedy little scientist (not a doctor) who wants you to either make him rich or he’ll let you die young. He’s now ensnared the FDA in his little scheme—but we are on to him.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Professor David Sinclair PhD at Harvard University (a biologist) has been working the system for years. One wonder if he ever does any work as professor, teaching his students, or is he too busy on research? Remember my long-standing cynical saying: most medical “research” is really just clever marketing!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sinclair, you may know, came out with “<strong><a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/sepsis-and-vitamin-c/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">miracle</a></strong>” discoveries about resveratrol years ago, much to the annoyance of his academic colleagues, and sold all the research to the highest bidder… and then the “holes” in his research appeared. You may have noticed, nobody talks so much about resveratrol anymore?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Unless you want to drink over 30 bottles of red wine a day, resveratrol is a non-story. Animal studies suggest as much as 500 mg daily may be necessary to provide any of the claimed health benefits (my own formula—below—has the full 500 mg). Red wine contains </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">at most</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 12 mg resveratrol per liter, more typically about 3 mg, so to get 500 mg daily, you&#8217;d need to drink 40 liters or more of wine daily. </span></p>
<p id="link01"><b>It May All Disappear</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now Sinclair is trying to repeat his tricky deal. He has published a lot of research on NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide), showing how essential it is to healthy aging. Sinclair and his corporation, Metro International Biotech, now want their version of NMN, MIB-626, to be classified as a drug. They want this miracle molecule, which exists for-free in Nature, to become an expensive pharmaceutical drug and NMN the rest of us use to be banned. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="td-modal-image aligncenter" src="https://i.ontraport.com/165788.174ba4302ce0035fdfc1b11d6d178be2.JPEG" alt="" width="608" height="369" data-cke-saved-src="https://i.ontraport.com/165788.174ba4302ce0035fdfc1b11d6d178be2.JPEG" /><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;">Smirky David Sinclair. If his coup comes off, he’ll have plenty to smirk about</span></p>
<p>The FDA announced its cooperation in this coup. If this sneaky action goes through, NMN will no longer be classified as a food supplement but as a pharmaceutical drug under investigation and that will stop all sales of NMN.</p>
<p>Sinclair will make $billions and you and I will be left to either pay the obscene profits to him and his cronies in Big Pharma, or suffer advanced aging. Talk about moving the goalposts!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://drkeithsown.myshopify.com/products/nmn500-cell-defender" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>Grab yourself a stockpile of NMN now: it’s flying off the shelves everywhere because of this attack.</b></a></p>
<p>See, NMN is about the best we have so far, to fight aging. It’s not NMN itself that will save us but a substance further down the line, derived from NMN,  called NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide plus). Sorry about these horrible names; that’s why we use abbreviations!</p>
<p>NAD+, part of the vitamin B3 family, is a critical coenzyme found in every cell in your body, and it is involved in hundreds of metabolic processes, including the sirtuin pathways.</p>
<p>Sirtuins are proteins that repair DNA damage and maintain the epigenome which regulates gene activity. The epigenome determines which genes are switched on or off, so even “bad” genes are not so bad, if they are switched off!</p>
<p>Research has shown that NAD+ decreases with age and this decrease is involved in a lot of age-related pathology and various diseases. I’ve shown you one of these pictures before but let me reproduce this one here:</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-19410 size-full" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/sn-mouseaging.jpg" alt="" width="1060" height="596" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/sn-mouseaging.jpg 1060w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/sn-mouseaging-300x169.jpg 300w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/sn-mouseaging-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/sn-mouseaging-768x432.jpg 768w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/sn-mouseaging-696x391.jpg 696w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/sn-mouseaging-747x420.jpg 747w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1060px) 100vw, 1060px" /></p>
<p>The mouse on the left is older, slower, fatter and has a shabby grey coat. Yet these two animals are from the same litter! [But beware: the older-looking mouse was genetically engineered to age faster]. The slim, sleek mouse has been fed sirtuins.</p>
<p>Incidentally, ignore fake before-and-after images like the one below. But you wouldn’t believe something like this, would you? This one is from Herbalmax. Uuugh!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" data-wp-editing="1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-19409" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Reinvigorator-1-1.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="535" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Reinvigorator-1-1.jpg 580w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Reinvigorator-1-1-300x277.jpg 300w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Reinvigorator-1-1-455x420.jpg 455w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" /><br />
Herbalmax Photoshopped fake image</p>
<p>Research shows Raising NAD+ levels extends longevity and improves health in animals by preventing obesity, diabetes, and fatty liver disease, protecting the heart from damage, and stimulating liver regeneration. Furthermore, increasing intracellular NAD+ improves mitochondrial energetics and aerobic capacity.</p>
<p>As a result of these animal studies, increasing NAD+ levels with NAD+ precursors that are derivatives of vitamin B3 — such as niacinamide, NMN, and nicotinamide riboside (NR) — are being investigated as potential therapies to prevent and possibly reverse age-related disorders.</p>
<p><b>Take Action NOW</b></p>
<p>So, what are we to do? For the time being, we must await the <strong><a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/41/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FDA</a></strong> decision, which is pending. Sinclair has filed his application and there is a slow process to follow. The unpleasant result would be that Sinclair’s patented derivative substance from NMN, so-called MIB-626, will emerge as the victor and we the losers.</p>
<p>But if it can be shown that NMN was on sale, as a food supplement, before Sinclair made his application to have MIB-626 lifted into that slot, he will fail. The FDA (except in one of its moments of criminally over-stepping the mark) cannot ban a food supplement.</p>
<p>Trouble is, Sinclair is being sneaky and hiding the date of the first application. I feel sure it will come out eventually, though the FDA is not suppose to release it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Be Pro-Active!</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>There are other pathways to NAD+, but don’t hold your breath! I would act now and grab a ton of NMN and keep it stockpiled. It’s flying off the shelves in stores, because people want to feel safe.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>I have it for as little as $69.95, if you buy 6 bottles (you can buy just one).</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong>Vivien encouraged me to send this out to everyone, as a newsletter. She says it is the clearest explanation of spirit vs. material she has ever read. If you find it too challenging, blame her! Haha!</strong></span><b></b></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-19227 " src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/viv-portrait.jpg" alt="" width="516" height="387" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/viv-portrait.jpg 1200w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/viv-portrait-300x225.jpg 300w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/viv-portrait-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/viv-portrait-768x576.jpg 768w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/viv-portrait-696x522.jpg 696w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/viv-portrait-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/viv-portrait-560x420.jpg 560w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/viv-portrait-80x60.jpg 80w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/viv-portrait-265x198.jpg 265w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 516px) 100vw, 516px" /></p>
<p>Well, why not? We are timeless beings, because we are non-material. Let’s be clear about this. The space-time continuum, or the physical universe, is loaded with matter, energy, space and time. But non-material means NO matter, NO energy, NO space and NO time.</p>
<p>No time? That means <strong><a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/this-will-give-you-the-creeps/">we are immortal</a></strong>, we live forever, we cannot simply die or vanish. So if you believe in spirit, you’d better pay attention, because this is what spirit means!</p>
<p>In biology—our physical bodies—we talk about living three or four score years and ten, or more. Latterly there has been an interest in living through the one hundred and twenty years to one hundred and fifty years zone.</p>
<p>According to Leonard Hayflick, we are supposed to get around fifty cell divisions before we die (he’s wrong). But even if he were correct, with careful health management, fifty cell divisions could mean we would live three hundred years on average.</p>
<p>Now the thing about averages is this: some people will die young, say 100 years. That means others will live far more than three hundred years… maybe five or six hundred years. So stories about Methuselah might have some foundation in fact.</p>
<p>But all this is biology; the creature; your present identity. It has nothing to do with the adventure of YOU, the great being who is—by definition—immortal!</p>
<p>This is not being unctuous (nice word, bad meaning!) It’s straight out of science and math. We know what the properties of the physical universe are so, by reversing those, we can grasp the meaning of spirit.</p>
<p>What we are talking about really is STILLNESS. The whole physical universe is built up of motion: energy is moving particles in space; matter is particles moving DUE TO energy; space is where it all happens and time is the measure of it all.</p>
<p>So non-materiality means no motion… stillness, as I said. And isn’t that the kind of language we hear from those who have returned from an incredible, deep spiritual experience or engagement.</p>
<p>People who come close to core self have remarkably similar wording for their experience. Actually, most say it is impossible to put into words. But those who try tell us about the vast, oceanic feeling; a stillness; absolute calm; a loss of sense of time and space; a connectivity with all things; and what may be called a “beautiful sadness”—not really sadness but a beauty and serenity so amazing that it must surely end and it already has an in-built sense of deprivation when it’s gone</p>
<p id="link01"><b>Peak Experiences</b></p>
<p>The term &#8220;peak-experience&#8221; was introduced by American psychologist Abraham H. Maslow (1908–1970) in his wonderful book T<i>owards a Psychology Of Being</i>. It refers to that state of ecstatic, oceanic transpersonal unity. At such times, individuals feel detached from the everyday and ordinary and connected instead to an integrated universe. At such moments individuals report becoming selfless or indeed &#8220;egoless&#8221; (beyond self). Moreover, their sense of time and location is often greatly distorted. Maslow argues that during peak experiences people become more truly themselves.<b></b><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-19228" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/abraham-maslow.jpg" alt="" width="508" height="423" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/abraham-maslow.jpg 700w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/abraham-maslow-300x250.jpg 300w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/abraham-maslow-696x580.jpg 696w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/abraham-maslow-504x420.jpg 504w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px" />Abraham Maslow, famous for his Hierarchy of Needs</p>
<p>In a religious context, peak experiences are often considered to be mystical or divine in origin. Maslow agreed with William James, John Dewey, and Erich Fromm that religion is not a single &#8220;social institution&#8221; or set of specific practices (like a church, temple or set of rules); rather, it is a &#8220;state of mind&#8221; that may be manifest in any aspect of everyday life.</p>
<p>Indeed, Maslow explicitly divides religion into two types: the mystical, engaged and intense &#8220;peakers&#8221;, like St Teresa de Avila or Hildegard of Bingen, and the doctrinal, ritualized &#8220;non-peakers&#8221;, like the Calvinists or the Bible bashers of southern USA (my examples, not Maslow’s). For Maslow, the peak experience is the model of the religious revelation and the conversion experience, which in many religious narratives takes place under the most ordinary, everyday conditions: St Paul on the road to Damascus sort of thing.</p>
<p>It could be that the mystical state so desirable in Zen Buddhism called <i>satori</i> is also a type of peak experience.</p>
<p>As Maslow poetically observed in <i>Religions, Values, And Peak-Experiences</i>, (1964) &#8220;The great lesson from the true mystics {is that} the sacred is in the ordinary, that it is to be found in one&#8217;s daily life, in one&#8217;s neighbors, friends, and family, in one&#8217;s backyard.&#8221;</p>
<p>Myself I have “peaked” while regressing far into my world path, many lifetimes ago and other universes. At such times I have watched the physical literally dissolve and been able to see through walls, and even see through the person in front of me! The physical, after all, is a mere illusion, as advanced science tells us. It’s no big thing to be able to look beyond that, into the Void of non-material Being and experience!</p>
<p>What all “peakers” (I don’t like Maslow’s term) agree is that it is a life-changing event, a new way of thinking, when one sees deeply into “The Beyond”.</p>
<p>Complementary to the peak experience is the &#8220;plateau-experience,&#8221; a notion Maslow developed at the end of his career. It is close to what we call “shift” in Supernoetics®. Whereas the peak experience is often an ecstatic overflow of the senses, the plateau experience is a calm, reflective moment of serenity during which the individual is able both to feel and to think about his or her situation. Unlike peak experiences, plateau experiences may be cultivated.</p>
<p>Shift, in turn, is the natural consequence of what we call “piloting” or guided psychic travel, in my Punk Psychology®.</p>
<p><b>You Can Try For Yourself</b></p>
<p>Forget the candles, the incense and the creepy music!</p>
<p>My favorite way of entering The Beyond is by closing my eyes and making myself mindful that I am NOT inside my skull. I am instantly aware that my “being” has no edges. It is infinite. It is not defined by my anatomy, my surroundings, or current time or current space.</p>
<p>Indeed, my first act to shift out into the great Void is to reach out through space with my self, meaning my sense of Being becomes more and more extensive. It is a fundamental of my Supernoetics® that space is <i>being</i>. The more space you can occupy, the greater your being!</p>
<p>You don’t have to be King Herod, Peter The Great or president of the USA, to command a lot of space. That’s the wrong kind of space. I mean infinite spiritual space. Go out into the Cosmos and romp!</p>
<p>You’ll soon lose your anatomical boundaries—and that alone is exciting! We are conditioned to think of ourselves as our “creature”, the animal aspect of self. As soon as you begin to FEEL (not just think) that you are bigger than your head and body, you are developing a real sense of self. An attuned and meaningful Being.</p>
<p>Next thing you know, you’ll start having psychic experiences—telepathy, intuition, prescience and the like. You can start linking up with a like-minded friend and seeing if you can connect. That’s usually heralded by intuitive moments, when you just know the other is about to telephone you, or what he or she was doing… and feeling.</p>
<p>It’s rather fun and, of course, important, because it is part of the greater meaning of what it is to BE!</p>
<p>Good luck</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s not often a mix in my newsletters with my products, but today I am going to do just that. There a vast amount of learning here, especially for us Boomers and it&#8217;s time for an update!</p>
<p>Time was (about 10 years ago) when I had the #1 slot on Google for <em>Puereria mirifica</em>. Those days are gone, not because I am no longer one of the world&#8217;s leading experts on Pueraria, but because crafty little snots who know how to push themselves to the top of Google, even though they know ZERO medicine, call the shots.</p>
<p><em>Pueraria mirifica</em>, is a herbal remedy from Thailand. In fact I jokingly call is HRT (Herbal Remedy From Thailand, get it?)</p>
<p><a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/pueraria-mirifica-fountain-of-youth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pueraria mirifica</a> (also related to <em>Kwao Krua</em> and <em>Butea Superba</em>), is a plant found only in Thailand and parts of Burma; 99% is grown in Thailand. Don&#8217;t let Chinese growers or online pushers of breast-enlargement creams kid you otherwise!</p>
<p>The region where this plant is grown is remarkable for its low rate of breast cancer and impressive longevity, which alerted scientists to something good going on. The lucky women get to use this local plant and the benefits are enormous and the science is building all the time.</p>
<p>Thai menopausal women, have been using Pueraria Mirifica for 700 years.</p>
<p>Men should use it too, especially as they age, since men are increasingly exposed to old-age estrogens (“male estrogen”).</p>
<p>The active ingredients seem to be <em>miroestrol</em> and <em>deoxymiroestrol</em>. These have been shown to be 3,000 more potent as estrogens than soy isoflavones, which led to my friend Dr. Garry Gordon MD, wisecracking a few years ago, that Pueraria mirifica “Makes Black Cohosh and Red Clover look like placebos”! (Garry was never one for understatement!)</p>
<p>Mirifica means “miracle” and it does seem as if we have a miracle herb on our hands. It counters all the negative effects of estrogen—a big problem in today&#8217;s world.</p>
<p>There is no increase in estrogen levels ever found, yet it reverses atrophic vaginitis and in fact, Dr. Christiane Northrup has reported that vaginal tissues become years younger and painful intercourse disappears.</p>
<p><strong>The Problem</strong></p>
<p>What Problem? Well, it is an estrogen mimic and ought to make estrogen dominance worse. But the fact it is doesn’t. It works by attaching to estrogen receptors, so that real estrogen is rendered ineffective, but it does so without stimulating the receptors in a dangerous way.</p>
<p>This is sometimes called estrogen inhibition.</p>
<p>It actually works by the same mechanism as the drug Tamoxifen, to reduce risk of breast cancer cells proliferating. There is much more to research on this incredible story, which it appears should be in the diet of every women from adolescence on, so that we bring breast cancer rates down to those in Northern Thailand, which is proven to be the lowest in the world.</p>
<p><strong>Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs)</strong></p>
<p>Pueraria in one of a group of emergent compounds, which includes the drug Tamoxifen, called selective estrogen receptor modulators or SERMs.</p>
<p>SERMs are called “selective” because they bind to particular estrogen receptors. SERMs do not prevent the production of estrogen, but they help to slow or stop the growth of estrogen-sensitive cancer cells by starving them of a full dose of natural estrogen.</p>
<p>There are other beneficial side effects, such as lowering cholesterol and protecting bone health for post-menopausal women, keeping the skeleton and joints strong and preventing breaks and fractures.</p>
<p>The latest remarkable discovery is that SERMs can protect your telomeres and that is a number one result for anti-aging (more of that in a moment).</p>
<p><strong>Men Too!</strong></p>
<p>Men can benefit too. We know that male estrogen increases through time, while testosterone falls, due to aging, body fat, hormonal replacement, pesticides, nutritional deficiencies, prescription medications and excessive alcohol intake. It’s equivalent to estrogen dominance.</p>
<p>In fact, studies have shown that the estrogen levels of the average 54-year-old man is higher than those of the average 59-year-old women! The end result is that these high levels of estrogen can cause reduced levels of testosterone, fatigue, loss of muscle tone, increased body fat, loss of libido and sexual function, an enlarged prostate and man-boobs.</p>
<p>So Pueraria has potential benefits for men too. It does not produce male breasts and may actually reduce this sign of aging plumpness.</p>
<p>But don’t suppose PM will take the place of good diet, exercise, cutting down on alcohol and losing plenty of weight.</p>
<p id="link01"><strong>Reversing Aging</strong></p>
<p>This is the bit we are interested in here.</p>
<p>Harvard scientists have taken prematurely aged mice and reversed the toll of time – increasing the size of their shrunken brains, restoring their diminished sense of smell, and turning their graying fur to a healthy sheen.</p>
<p>They did this by using the SERM properties.</p>
<p>The mice were at the very end of their lives and scientists expected no more than to slow or perhaps stabilize the aging process. Instead, they saw a dramatic reversal in the symptoms of aging!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-18967 size-full" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mice-serms-bigger.jpeg" alt="The Miracle Herb Is Back In Stock" width="652" height="569" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mice-serms-bigger.jpeg 652w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mice-serms-bigger-300x262.jpeg 300w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mice-serms-bigger-481x420.jpeg 481w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 652px) 100vw, 652px" />Guess which mouse got the SERM! [these mice are from the same litter!]</p>
<p>The mice were specially developed to be telomere-deficient and aged fast. Just mid-way through the normal lifespan of a mouse, their organs had atrophied, their brains had shrunk, their coats turned gray and shabby and they had lost the ability to detect noxious odors.</p>
<p>But when scientists used a Tamoxifen-clone enzyme to switch the gene back on for a month, many hallmarks of aging seemed to reverse. The fertility of the mice increased, their sense of smell was restored, and their organs were rejuvenated. They literally went into aging reverse. See photo. The mouse on the left once looked like the old crock on the right! But now it looks YEARS younger (in human terms)</p>
<p>Well, the complex enzyme used for this trial is not available commercially and I could not recommend Tamoxifen as a good idea, even if you could get your doctor to prescribe it.</p>
<p>But you can take Pueraria and expect at least some of this beneficial aging effect. In several senses, <em>Pueraria mirifica</em> is a “fountain of youth”.</p>
<p><strong>Dosage and Sources</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week I talked to you about the &#8220;speed bumps&#8221; that stand in your path to a good, healthy and happy old age. I&#8217;ll follow up with some great ideas for flattening out the bumps and having a smoother ride!</p>
<p>You can enjoy an extra twelve to fourteen years of good life! No really! That’s a promise.</p>
<p>It’s not a pill or potion! You just have to take care of yourself properly. Deep down, we all know that if you follow healthy lifestyle options, you will live longer. Not just that but you will enjoy better health in your life.</p>
<p>Now we can boil it down to just 5 essential factors. In a large study, which followed over 78,000 women and over 44,000 men, researchers have shown that if you follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, don&#8217;t smoke, drink moderate amounts of alcohol and maintain a healthy weight <i>you could live more than a decade longer than those who don&#8217;t do any of these things.</i></p>
<p>To be more specific, they defined the five good health habits as never smoking; body mass index (BMI) of 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2; 30 minutes or more of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day; a high-quality diet (top 40%); and moderate alcohol intake (up to one glass of wine daily for women and two glasses of wine daily for men). Personally, I would say that BMI is not such a good measure as percentage body fat, but that discussion can take place elsewhere.</p>
<p>The good news is that researchers found each factor added around 2 to 3 years of extra life. Cumulatively, that means that life expectancy at age 50 years was 14 years longer for women and 12.2 years extra for men (for women, that’s 93 years average, up from 79, and for men, 87.6 years, up from 74).</p>
<p>Put another way, compared with men and women who lacked any of the five healthy-lifestyle habits, those who had all five enjoyed an 82% lower risk for dying from cardiovascular disease, a 65% lower chance of dying from cancer, and a 74% lower risk of dying from all causes during follow-up. That’s awesome!</p>
<p>And, you know, so much better than popping pills, NONE of which add to your health span!</p>
<p>What you can potentially achieve is exciting. But almost as exciting is that, even by following some of these recommendation, you get measureable benefit, even if just a few extra years! In other words, just do as much as you can. Every step in the right direction will lengthen your life a little.</p>
<p>&#8220;Each single lifestyle change you make will help you live longer and better,&#8221; commented Jean-Pierre Després, PhD, cardiology research director at the Quebec Heart and Lung Institute at Laval University, Quebec, Canada, and chair of the American Heart Association (AHA) Council on Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health.</p>
<p>If your life is really good—and it should be—then you will want to maximize your stay here on earth. In which case, commit to all five.</p>
<p><b>It’s Not Just About Lifespan (Longevity)</b></p>
<p>Lifespan is how long you can expect to live, on average. But there’s a better concept: “health span”. Lifespan is simply how many years you live and breathe. But for over a decade, the Longevity Institute of the University of Southern California (USC) a leading biomedical research center for aging and longevity, has been researching how to improve a person’s health span – the happy part of life prior to the onset of some calamity such as diabetes, heart attack, stroke, cancer, Alzheimer’s and auto-immune diseases.</p>
<p>It’s not the same as Lifespan, obviously. But hopefully nearly the same length of time. Our health span is critical and we want it as long as possible, staying healthy until the very end of life. This is a newer version of the old saying, that anti-aging is <i>not so much about putting years into your life, as putting life into your years!</i></p>
<p>Many years ago (1997) I wrote a piece entitled “Do You Want To Be An Old Crock Or A Classic Car?” It may help to picture this in terms of the aging of a motor car. Typically, a well-used car will last 10- 20 years and then fall apart, unsafe to be repaired. The better the maintenance, the longer it takes to crumble, naturally; if you omit routine oil changes and other vital tasks, the car will soon fail mechanically. But then some cars, so-called Classic Cars, are in sweet running order and perform reliably when they are 80, 90 or even more than 100 years old. Why is that?</p>
<p>The answer is so obvious, it screams at you: they have been properly looked after.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image alignnone aligncenter" src="https://i.ontraport.com/165788.b014b24c4fd16386d21957d23e233923.JPEG" alt="" width="656" height="492" data-cke-saved-src="https://i.ontraport.com/165788.b014b24c4fd16386d21957d23e233923.JPEG" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s exactly the same with the human body. You have to ask yourself, do you want to be a classic car or an old &#8220;banger&#8221;, rusting and clanking away? I doubt anyone in their right mind would choose to be a banger. Yet that is the outlook mentality of anyone who doesn&#8217;t begin to take effective care of their health NOW.</p>
<p id="link01"><b>Turning Back The Clock</b></p>
<p>We have one proven advantage over mechanical objects: our bodies can regenerate to a considerable degree. It has been a medical hoax of long standing, to tell people they have to put up with miserable health conditions, just because the doctors don&#8217;t know how to cure it. The fact is that if you turn to nature, instead of the drug industry, to look for answers, there are many exciting ways to gain back your health, even after many years of believing you were stuck with it. You probably already know of people curing themselves of arthritis, cancer, heart disease and so on, without resorting to any further drastic medical intervention. These results show the way for us all: <i>you can recover your health! </i></p>
<p>Add to this the many wonderful breakthroughs in the science of anti-aging, and there is really no good reason, other than self-neglect, to accept the breakdown of old age. People routinely feel a sense of complete life renewal, increased vigor, mental clarity and sexual pleasure. You can—literally—turn back the clock!</p>
<p>In the words of Dr Walter Pierpaoli and Dr William Regeleson: &#8220;Ours is the first generation that need not experience senescence, the dismal physical decline now associated with old age. We are the first generation that need not resign ourselves to accepting the fate that our later years will be filled with debility and disease. Ours is the first generation that has the capacity, by resetting our aging clocks, to actually prolong youthful health and vitality into our eighties, nineties, and possibly even our hundreds&#8221;.</p>
<p>The appalling toll of unnecessary deaths is simply a measure of the incompetence of a medical profession, which is obsessed with drugs and treating only symptoms, instead of taking effective and proven action directed towards the known causes of these conditions.</p>
<p>It really comes down to what does Nature want for us? As far as she’s concerned, we are supposed to be wandering around in the forest, or on the African veldt, where it all started. We are hunter-gatherers and should eat meat, fish, plants, nuts and seeds.</p>
<p>Sitting still all day long is very bad. So are burgers, pizza and donuts. Boozing isn’t natural, although even wild animals have access to alcoholic fermented fruits at least part of the year (for some fun, search on YouTube for “drunken elephants marula fruit”).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image aligncenter" src="https://i.ontraport.com/165788.0cd04db72b3a259f754ab395c91eedbe.JPEG" alt="" width="681" height="362" data-cke-saved-src="https://i.ontraport.com/165788.0cd04db72b3a259f754ab395c91eedbe.JPEG" />Drunken elephants smashed on fermented marula fruits</p>
<p>As for smoking, Nature doesn’t understand that at all. And being fat just doesn’t happen in the wild.</p>
<p>Sugar is the kiss of death—truly. But so are grains, which turn quickly to soft carbohydrates like glucose. Milk is good for infants; but after a few months it’s nothing more than a sugar food. Skim milk is even worse, by the way: take away the fats and milk is basically just sugar water.</p>
<p>Thing is, these are all what I call “farmer foods”; they have only been in our diet for a few thousand years. In evolutionary terms that’s no more than a blink of an eye.</p>
<p>Forget vegetarianism and veganism; those are cults, not science. We are built as hunter-gatherers and that&#8217;s the way to live. I dismiss arguments about teeth and intestinal patterns. The truth comes from archeology, not speculation. Looking at ancient middens we know exactly what paleolithic man ate. From skeletal remains we also know that true paleolithic man was superb physically: tall, muscular, healthy and without a trace of bony malformations, which all appeared when we started to eat more vegetables!</p>
<p>In the last 2 millennia humans had shrunk to a crippled and deformed dwarf status and only regained their average paleolithic height in the late 20<sup>th</sup> century.</p>
<p>Take these science-based tips to heart and get to work building a vigorous future!</p>
<p>To your good health,</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I first wrote that the main – and ignored – cause of Alzheimer’s was chemical overload back in 1988 in a book I published through Harper Collins.  A lot of time went by before everyone else jumped on the bandwagon (but at least they’re here)!</p>
<p><u>Trace chemicals in your environment can damage brain function</u>.  Over the years, I’ve had quite a few patient stories that unequivocally prove what was initially a theory I felt strongly about.</p>
<ul>
<li>A patient who entered a carpet store and became quite incapacitated mentally within a few minutes (chemicals in color printing, color fast processing, and flame retardant compounds).</li>
<li>A patient who struggled when she walked into clothing stores – unable to remember what she’d gone in for almost instantly (formaldehyde-based treatments on clothing).</li>
</ul>
<p>At the time, colleagues attacked me for what they called “nonsensical” ideas.  Ambient chemicals were “safe” because there was no science proving they were not.</p>
<p>[Many doctors cannot, or will not, think for themselves.  They want “the establishment” to tell them what to think.]</p>
<p>Then, toward the end of the 1990s, the UK Chief Medical Officer (equivalent to the US Surgeon General) issued a directive that chemicals could highly sensitize individuals to allergies.</p>
<p>It was slow but painful progress.  There’s an old joke about the four stages involved in how something is eventually accepted in the medical community…</p>
<ul>
<li>You must be mad (or “it’s a fraud”).</li>
<li>There might be something in it.</li>
<li>There might be something in it, but where’s the proof?</li>
<li>We knew that all along.</li>
</ul>
<p>In regard to chemical overload, we are (finally) at stage 4.  Studies are hammering home what I was criticized for saying over 30 years ago.</p>
<p>The primary cause of Alzheimer’s (and many other diseases) is the chemical blizzard those of us living in the modern world are enduring.</p>
<p>A study published in the journal <em>Neurology </em>showed that intense workplace exposure to chemical solvents may lead to cognitive impairment and <u>it doesn’t diminish over time</u>.</p>
<p>Researchers tested psychomotor speed, semantic fluency, immediate recall, and executive function in men and found major deficits – even <strong>decades after their exposure</strong> to solvents had stopped.  Until this study, it had been “assumed” (another type of nutty science thinking) that solvents only cause problems in the short and medium term.</p>
<p>Nobody asked the chemical victims.</p>
<p>The lead author, Erika L. Sabbath, ScD, research fellow, Harvard School of Public Health, is reported as saying, “Our study shows that <u>the effects last into retirement</u>, when we know that the person was not exposed anymore, and that if the exposure was high, the effects can last for <strong>30 to 50 years after the last exposure</strong> in the workplace.”</p>
<p>This was all enabled by striking data from France’s utility company GAZEL (gas and electricity), which had kept meticulous records.  Researchers were able to analyze the cases of 2143 men (average age, 66 years) who had been retired for about 10 years.</p>
<p>In their working lives, the men had significant exposure to chlorinated solvents, petroleum solvents, benzene solvents, and non-benzene aromatic solvents.</p>
<p>The analysis found that about 33% of the retirees had been exposed to chlorinated solvents, 26% to benzene, and 25% to petroleum solvents. Twelve percent had been highly exposed to 1 solvent type and 11% to 2 or 3 types.  Researchers found a massive correlation between <u>chemical exposure and severity of dementia</u>.</p>

<p>Dementia is one of the two main exits most humans fear (cancer is the other).</p>
<p>Lifestyle and diet changes are not enough. You need to be fully aware of the risks of today’s toxic chemical overload.  It is being systematically connected – not just as a cause of Alzheimer’s – to many diseases and conditions that plague us.</p>
<p>Back in the 1980s, chemical overload mainly affected individuals who were particularly sensitive to these chemical toxins.  In my book, I called them “human canaries.”  In the mines years ago, a canary acting sick (or dropping dead) was a sign for humans to get out, quickly.</p>
<p>I wrote, “It seems to me we have a lot of human canaries! We must start paying attention to the problem.  Sooner or later it will make us all sick.”</p>
<p>To enjoy a good healthy old age, with all your faculties, <u>you need to do something about the chemicals in your environment</u>.</p>
<p>It’s not just urban areas, in case you’re thinking you’ll retire to the country.  I lived briefly in Davis, California.  It’s a large agricultural community.  My wife and I were constantly troubled by crop spraying.  We’d dodge down side roads when the planes flew over to avoid getting pesticides dumped fully on our vehicle.  We moved within 8 months.</p>
<p>IT’S REALLY BAD OUT THERE.</p>
<p>The world has gone crazy and corporations are dumping millions of tons of toxic chemicals into the environment. Don’t listen to the propaganda from chemical companies about “responsible use” because <u>there is no such thing</u>. Everything dumped on the soil is still there, added to the year before, and the year before that…</p>
<p>It’s cumulative and it isn’t slowing down.  For every chemical prohibited, a hundred more “safe” versions are put into circulation – only to cause even more problems down the line.</p>
<p>Chemical overload of your air, water, and soil is the primary cause of Alzheimer’s, cancer, behavioral disorders, and autoimmune disease.</p>

<h1><strong>Lower Your Exposure To Dangerous Toxins</strong></h1>
<p>It’s time to start doing what you can to avoid these damaging toxins wherever possible.  Rinse your produce, choose organic when you can, and get rid of the toxins inside your home that you have control over.  Read your labels and do your research on what you’re eating or using on your skin!</p>
<p>If something isn’t done about the chemical blizzard, we’re all going to end up being “human canaries” and we won’t make it out of the contaminated mine alive.</p>
