Why Brain Cancer Killed My Friend Harry!

[ Enjoy Article Via: YouTube Video :  MP4 Video for i-Phones :  MP3 Audio ]

My friend Harry died Saturday night.

Harry was a gem and loved by many.

Chemotherapy and radiation did him in.

Over a year ago Harry went to his doctor because he wasn’t feeling well.  He was diagnosed with a brain tumor.  A team of doctors recommended surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.

Slash — Burn — Radiate!

Harry of course didn’t catch a brain tumor, he developed it over the years.  How many?  Hard to tell.  Could have taken ten, twenty, thirty years.

Harry was a sugar-holic, and sugar feeds cancer.  Dr. Otto Warberg won a Nobel prize for this discovery many years ago.  Harry was also not too strict on other foods he ate.

It’s an old story, like so many others Harry got his body chemistry out of whack and so began, for him, the journey to brain cancer.  We know that others taking this same journey may develop breast, colon, prostate, pancreatic or other cancers, but for Harry it was brain cancer.

What’s tragic is that so many Americans have been brain washed by the American Cancer Society, Susan G. Koman Foundation, American Medical Association, the FDA, and other organizations that have sucked up billions of dollars for research to discover the cure for cancer, with no cure in sight from these researchers.

Using fear and marketing ploys such as “run for the cure”, etc. these organizations suck dollars out of the pockets of millions of people to fund research programs that are supposed to find the cure for cancer.

But they lie.  The money mostly goes for their inflated salaries and “make work” days. Read the rest of this article »

Coumadin Sample WARNING!

WARNING!

If you are taking Coumadin, or know anyone taking Coumadin, it is imperative that you and they read this warning!

Bristol-Myers Squibb has made a grievous error in free sample packets of Coumadin they had manufactured.

If you have recently received a free sample pack of Coumadin from your doctor, DO NOT USE IT!

An alert has been just issued by the FDA for an urgent recall for the 1mg strength Coumadin sample packs because taking them could put you in dire straits.

The recall was initiated by Bristol-Myers Squibb when they realized that a key ingredient that activates the Coumadin was not working properly, which could make your medication extremely dangerous, if not deadly.

The unsafe sample packs are from lot numbers:

Lot# 9A48931A, 9A48931B, 9A48931C, all with expiration dates of January 2012.

Please pass this warning on to anyone you know is on heart medication.

To your good heath & longevity.

Malaria drug quinine (Qualaquin) for nocturnal leg cramps? Check again!

July 8, 2010 ­ Physicians should not prescribe the malaria drug quinine (Qualaquin) for nocturnal leg cramps ­ an off-label use ­ because it may result in serious and life-threatening hematologic adverse effects, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced today.

Quinine, marketed by AR Scientific, is approved only for uncomplicated malaria caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum, according to the agency.

The FDA issued a similar warning in 2006, but the agency noted today that the majority of quinine used in the United States is still for the prevention or treatment of leg cramps.

Quinine therapy may result in thrombocytopenia, which can cause serious bleeding, or hemolytic-uremic syndrome/thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, which may lead to permanent kidney damage. The FDA said that it received 38 reports of serious adverse events associated with quinine between April 2005 and October 1, 2008, in the United States through its Adverse Event Reporting System. Only 1 patient was taking quinine to treat malaria. Two patients died.

Under a risk management plan approved by the agency, the drug’s manufacturer will issue a letter to prescribers warning of the risk for hematologic reactions to the drug. In addition, patients must be given a medication guide explaining what quinine is and is not approved for, and its potential adverse effects.

To report any adverse events related to quinine, contact MedWatch, the FDA’s safety information and adverse event reporting program, by telephone at 1-800-FDA-1088, by fax at 1-800-FDA-0178, online at http://www.fda.gov/medwatch, or by mail to MedWatch, FDA, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20852-9787.

Can Asparagus Cure Cancer?

Recently we received a copy of an email that has been floating around the Internet for some time now implying that asparagus cures cancer.

The email introduced the origin of the story and several testimonials from people with claims that asparagus did indeed cure their cancer.

Wow!  That simple?  Asparagus?  So I did my research and lo and behold, there is a basis for their claims.

Although there are no valid scientific studies to back up their claims, there is enough nutritional evidence as to the anti-cancer properties of asparagus that one organization has filed for a grant to begin these studies.

And from all I have read with regard to asparagus and cancer, I would encourage you to eat your asparagus if you have cancer or wish to prevent cancer.

The following is a copy of the email article.  Following that is a biochemist’s explanation of why we should include asparagus as part of our protective arsenal. Read the rest of this article »

Agave plant used to make Agave Syrup

Warning!  You’re Being Had!

It never ends. You know how bad High Fructose Corn Syrup is and how we have been blindsided by clever marketing into thinking HFCS is a healthy sweetener.

Well once again we are being blindsided by the clever marketing of a new so called “natural” sweetener implying it is a safe substitute for High Fructose Corn Syrup.

Science has proven conclusively that High Fructose Corn Syrup is a major cause of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease because of its 56% high fructose content.

This new so called “natural” sweetener is from the agave plant.  Ferment it and you have Mexico’s favorite alcoholic beverage — tequila.

Blue agave, agave “syrup”, or agave “nectar”, is nothing more than a laboratory generated super-condensed fructose syrup devoid of all nutrient value and offering metabolic misfortune.

Agave syrup is much worse than the High Fructose Corn Syrup it’s replacing.

Osteoporosis Hip-Fracture Drug Risks?

Why am I not surprised that another highly popular 3.5 billion dollar drug (bisphosphonnate) turns out to be deleterious to your body.

Two new studies show the bones of some post-menopausal women who take a bone-loss drug like Actonel, Bonive, or Fosamax to ward off osteoporosis, result in hardening of their bones and eventual brittleness with a high risk of fracture of the spine or pelvis.

Researchers are now urging limiting the length of time people take these drugs.  The FDA is now reviewing the long term use of these drugs.

Here we are again spending a fortune on high priced prescription drugs which lead to the eventual  destruction of the very bones they were designed to protect, leaving these users at severe risk for spine and hip fractures.

Why are doctors prescribing these drugs in the first place when they have available a permanent cure for bone loss that is nutritional and only costs pennies a day?

Dr. Melvin Rosenwasser, chief of orthopedic-trauma surgery at Columbia University Medical Center in New York said, “These drugs are good drugs.  They strengthen bone and protect you from fractures for a while. (Italics mine)  But in some people they can become deleterious after a period of time.”

It is difficult for me to understand how a doctor, at his intellectual level, can claim that these expensive drugs are “good drugs” that will protect you from fractures “for a while”.

Whatever happened to Vitamin D-3, Calcium and Magnesium, which cost pennies a day, to naturally build bone strength and keep them strong for the rest of your life?

Vitamin D Producing UVB Rays from the Sun

The sun’s rays that shine down upon us are UVA and UVB ultraviolet rays.

But only the UVB rays are vitamin D producing when they hit your skin.

Little known is that everyone living north of 35° latitude will get no UVB rays between the months of November through March because of the angle of the sun.

To give you some prospective, New York City, NY is in 40° latitude and Flagstaff, AZ is in 35° latitude.  Fully two/thirds of the U.S and all of Canada are above the 35° latitude mark.

As a further reference, the equator is at 0° latitude and gets the benefit of the highest level of the sun’s UVB rays, whereas the North Pole is at 90° latitude and gets the least benefit.

We do not get the same amount of UVB rays year round. As the seasons change, so does the angle of the sun’s rays.

In the summer, with the sun directly overhead, we get the maximum number of UVB rays.  As the season moves toward winter, we get fewer and fewer rays and in the winter, if you live in 35° latitude and above, you will get no UVB rays at all.

Magnesium and Vitamin D-3 Connection

Vitamin D deficiency, the cause of probably 60% of the diseases in the U.S. and the world today, is a bit more complicated than appears on the surface.

Most people believe that just taking a vitamin D-3 supplement will eliminate their deficiency in two to three months by raising their D-3 levels to “normal”, and expect all of their health problems to disappear.

That’s the quick fix syndrome, and I wish it were so.

You can improve the quality of your health by just taking a vitamin D supplement, but better still, by taking care to include the other missing ingredient in your diet, the mineral magnesium, you can really raise your overall health and the quality of your life.

The inclusion of these magnesium laden healthy and tasty raw vegetables in your diet will result in turning a small health correction into a full blown shot-in-the-arm!  This can positively impact your longevity.  The supporting science is well documented.

Magnesium is the key factor in converting vitamin D-3 into 1,25D₃ the only form of vitamin D the body can use. Read the rest of this article »
