Flu Fighting Liquid Vitamin D-3?

The swine flu news is everywhere and to bring you a healthy perspective this article will clarify what researchers are getting very excited about in fighting the flu with a unique vitamin, plus, I have a major announcement at the end of this article.

So here’s the story…and more!

Influenza broke out at Atascadero State Hospital, CA, with the exception of the ward run by Dr. John Cannell.

Even though the flu jumped from ward to ward all around them, none of the patients in his ward became infected.

Strange indeed.

After much investigation, it was determined that the only difference between the wards was that the patients in Dr. Cannell’s ward had been getting 2,000 iu of Vitamin D every day for months.

Recent scientific studies have proven that vitamin D increases the body’s production of broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptides, peptides that quickly destroy the influenza virus while simultaneously preventing the immune system from releasing too many inflammatory cells called chemokines and cytokines into infected lung tissue.

An excess of inflammatory cells would otherwise damage the lungs.

The detrimental effects of excess inflammatory cells was proven in 1918 when medical scientists did autopsies on some of the fifty million people who died during the 1918 flu pandemic.

Health Reform?

Health Care Reform? – If it wasn’t so tragic, it would be a joke!

What is health care reform anyway?

It would appear to me that health care reform would mean ways to keep people from getting sick. Ways to keep people healthy.

That to me is real health care reform.

Instead we have the whole country battling over drugs and medical care while every year the number of people who develop a chronic disease grows larger and larger.

What is wrong with our Presidents — past, present, and probably future?

What is wrong with our senators and members of congress?  Do they all have their heads buried in the sand or is it all about greed and self-interest?

This is not a Democrat, Republican, or Independent issue— it’s about everyone!

We the people are being Read the rest of this entry »

It's Your Choice!

Most of the public never gets to hear about the many proven ways to heal ourselves  because our medical profession is an antiquated dinosaur bound to drugs.

Our FDA does not, and will not, recognize “so called” alternative ways.

In fact, the FDA has made it illegal to claim that a nutritional product or alternative way can heal you. If it is not a drug approved by the FDA, your cure claims will subject you to heavy fines and or jail.

Over the past decade it has been made very clear the strong influence Big Pharma has over our FDA.  Sometimes you would think they were running the FDA.

To make our health conserns even worse, our USDA, who should be insuring that we get safe, nutritional food to eat, is highly influenced by giant food processors allowing them, through over processing, to destroy much of the nutrients in the packaged food sold in our food markets.

Most all of these nutrient deficient foods also contain Read the rest of this entry »

The mind is a many splendid thing, and slowly losing it — can be devastating beyond belief.

Alzheimer’s is a very scary disease.

There is no cure and the signs that you are on the road to developing the disease are often not very clear.

Until recently, people with signs of dementia were diagnosed as having either Alzheimer’s or vascular dementia.

Experts used the term “vascular” in relation to dementia when they found signs of a stroke, mini-strokes, or clogged arteries.  All three of these factors can kill the brain’s nerve cells (neurons) by cutting off their oxygen supply.

Autopsy studies show that Read the rest of this entry »

What Big Pharma Doesn’t Want YOU To Know

The war on cholesterol by Big Pharma and the Main Stream Medical Profession is being successfully orchestrated through misinformation and twisted truths mainly by the marketing divisions of Big Pharma.

Clearly with science taking a back seat, marketing’s main objective is Big Dollars and Be Damned with Good Health and Lives.

Understand that Big Pharma doesn’t want you to know what you are about to read.

A lot of women are under the impression that the risk of heart disease is higher for men. But it is not so. Women are more vulnerable than men when it comes to heart disease.

Due to this misconception, while having a heart attack, women tend to react differently than men. They tend to delay emergency treatment as they find it hard to believe that they are having a heart attack.

If you are a woman, there are some very important things you should know about heart problems and what you should do in case of an emergency.

Studies show that women, on average, are about ten years older than men when they have a heart attack. What this means is that… Read the rest of this entry »
