Nutrition tips

Posted on April 29th, 2010 by vie  |  No Comments »

Due to mass marketing efforts by the food conglomerates, compounded by misinformation by conventional healthcare systems and their affiliates whose main interest is profit, it’s difficult to differentiate the fine line between life-giving, nutrient- dense food and understandard, devitalized junk.

It’s becoming more and more difficult to obtain clean, wholesome food any more as the general public has been deceived into believing that we “need” fast, processed junk loaded with preservatives, additives, coloring, flavoring, hormones, and pesticides. It’s been estimated that each and every American consumes approximately 50 lbs. of additives a year. Is it a wonder that degenerative diseases such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, etc…are escalating proportionately? Is it a surprise that many of our children are diagnosed with ADD/ADHD and other biochemical derangements that are devastating to their families and ultimately, to society? Instead of correcting the core of the problem, mainly nutritional deficiencies, we perpetual and compound the situation by medicating our children and render them doped-up zombies devoid of their sparkle and zest. What have we done to our children? What have we done to ourselves as a species? How can we claim to nurture and protect our young while giving them food and water laced with chemicals, while slowly destroying their delicate immune system with pus and heavy metals from vaccines, while implanting mercury, a known neurotoxin in their teeth in the form of amalgam (silver) fillings. This is not what nature intended. Why do we persist in destroying the very thing that nourishes and sustains us? We’ve already seen the ramifications of our thoughtlessness. How much longer can we claim ignorance? The writing’s already on the wall. We think we are untouched because some of us are fortunate enough to have eluded illness thus far, but with cancer striking 1 in 3, heart disease taking more than 480,000 lives per year, countless people subsisting with crippling pain and deformity, what makes us the exception? Just because we have not yet experienced deep-seated pain with the loss of a spouse, child, parent, or friend, can we claim immunity? The first sign of a heart attack may be death. The first symptom from advanced cancer might be mere fatigue. We can no longer claim ignorance. Regardless of what the disease is called, its root cause is still deficiency and toxicity. The typical conventional methods of cut (surgery), burn (radiation), and poison (medication) has little effect as it does not address these issues. Mortality statistics associated with these barbaric methods confirms this. Some are able to buy a little more time at the expense of quality of life. What’s the point?

Fortunately, nature is forgiving and our bodies are wonderfully and powerfully created. Unless it has reached a point of no return, our bodies are capable of regeneration if given the opportunity. The only sure way of achieving this is by going back to nature, providing it with the proper nutrients while efficiently eliminating built-up toxins and debris. How do we do this?

alcohol effects

Posted on January 9th, 2010 by vie  |  No Comments »

Immediate effects

Alcohol tastes good to most adults although not, usually, to children. It can help you to relax, which can make it easier to talk to other people, especially if you are a bit shy. The downside is that it can make you unfit to drive, to operate machinery and affects your ability to make decisions.

If you go on drinking, your speech starts to slur, you become unsteady on your feet and may start to say things you may regret the next day.

If you drink even more, most people start to feel sleepy, sick or dizzy. You may pass out. The next day you may be unable to remember what happened while you were drinking.

treatments on alcoholic

Helping depression

We know that most depressed drinkers will start to feel better within a few weeks of cutting out alcohol. So, it is usually best to tackle the alcohol first, and then deal with the depression if it has not lifted after a few weeks.

After a few alcohol-free weeks, you will probably feel fitter and brighter in your mood.  Friends and family may find you easier to get on with. If your feelings of depression do lift, it’s likely that they were caused by the drinking.

If the depression is still with you after four weeks of not drinking, talk to your GP about further help. It may be useful to talk over your feelings, particularly if your depression seems linked to some crisis in your life. Common issues are relationship problems, unemployment, divorce, bereavement or some other loss. Counselling may be helpful.

If the depression does not lift and is particularly severe, your GP may recommend a talking treatment called ‘cognitive psychotherapy’ or suggest antidepressant medication. In either case, you will need to stay away from alcohol and go on with the treatment for several months. There are some medications used to reduce the craving for alcohol, but these don’t seem to help many people and are usually prescribed by a specialist.

Stopping drinking

If you are worried by the idea of stopping or cutting down your drinking, or if you just can’t cut down, it might help to talk with a specialist alcohol worker. Your GP can tell you about the local services – you can then refer yourself or ask your GP to refer you.

Treatments for alcohol problems and depression do help, especially if you can regularly see someone you can trust – your own doctor, a counsellor or a specialist alcohol worker or a specialist psychiatrist. Changing your habits and style of life is always a challenge and can take some time.

Cancer prostate antigen

Posted on January 7th, 2010 by vie  |  No Comments »

All men should have an annual digital rectal exam beginning around age 40. Another screening technique is a ‘prostate-specific antigen’ blood test which checks for a
special chemical associated with prostate cancer. The test costs about $35 and should be done annually. The newest treatment for prostate cancer and an alternative to surgery, cryosurgery or radiation beams is the implantation of tiny radioactive seeds into the prostate.

Lycopene, a nutrient contained in tomatoes and tomato products such as tomato sauce, tomato paste and ketchup, is an effective prostate cancer deterrent. Studies show that men who eat these foods have less risk of prostate cancer.
Also, studies show that lycopene fights cancer in men who already have the disease. Prostate tumors are smaller and less aggressive in men who are given lycopene.
