MEAT AND CANCER RISKS

Okay, so I am a vegetarian. But, the facts are still clear and getting clearer.
If you want to get cancer, eat lots of meat.

"Heavy consumption of processed meats linked to increased risk for pancreatic cancer

Anaheim, Calif. – Heavy consumption of hot dogs, sausages and luncheon meats, along with other forms of processed meat, was associated with the greatest risk of pancreatic cancer in a large multiethnic study reported today at the 96th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research."

NEW DRUG RESISTANT DISEASES -- AND SOME REMEDIES

NEW (and old) DRUG RESISTANT DISEASES (because they still do not have any good antibiotics coming on line)

Time to revisit this topic. These super bugs are starting to get out of control. It is not just science fiction; and it has happened before. Flu epidemics have killed millions in the past. Marburg is the latest virus on the scare list. It is a nasty disease, related to Ebola and killing the same, horrible way. What are we to do? Start now to investigate the world of alternative health and medicine so, when the inevitable comes, you have some defenses lined up. Strengthen your immune system and learn about the natural and other ways to protect yourself from pathogens and toxins in the environment, e.g. see links below.

Keep aware of these outbreaks so you don’t get caught off guard and thus become a prisoner of a medical system run amuck. They have no answers, and even when they do, sometimes the solution is worse than the disease as we are discovering every day with the news about vaccines and pharmaceutical drugs with deadly side effects. For some sources, see below:

Reduced Calories and Cancer

A very good report and one everyone should read about how taking one simple precaution can reduce cancer risk significantly. Especially interesting is the rationale of why it works.

"Studies over the past 70 years have established that substantial calorie reduction - up to 50 percent in some studies - not only can reduce the rate of cell proliferation, it can extend the maximum life span of a variety of organisms, including rats, flies, worms and yeast. The results can be dramatic, with 30 to 70 percent increases in life span reported in the studies."

Viagra and Your Eyesight

Here is another good reason not to take Viagra. Why are some drugs "good" and some drugs "bad". Because the bible tells us so? I think not. Why, it is the all-knowing, all-wise FDA. Hale Ceasar, (and cover your ass).

Nonarteritic Ischemic Optic Neuropathy Developing Soon After Use of Sildenafil (Viagra): A Report of Seven New Cases. Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology. 25(1):9-13, March 2005.Pomeranz, Howard D. MD, PhD; Bhavsar, Abdhish R. MD

Abstract: Seven patients, aged between 50 and 69 years, had typical features of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) within 36 hours after ingestion of sildenafil citrate (Viagra) for erectile dysfunction. Six patients had vision loss within 24 hours after use of the agent. Final visual acuity in the affected eye ranged from 20/20 to light perception. Both eyes were affected in one individual. All affected individuals had pre-existing hypertension, diabetes, elevated cholesterol, or hyperlipidemia. Seven similar cases have been previously reported. Sildenafil may provoke NAION in individuals with an arteriosclerotic risk profile.

Children's Cancer and Pesticides

This is nothing new. It is just news to most of us because we are told about this by the media. Barry Commoner and Rachel Carson wrote about it some fifty years ago. We are poisoning ourselves with an exotic assortment of manmade, unnatural chemicals that should never come near a human body let alone a child's. Children develop cancer much faster than adults. They have fewer defenses. We lament the kidnapping a murder of a child because it is vivid and dramatic. The causative chain of events between household and industrial pesticides is more subtle, takes a long time to prove, and so does not engage our emotions as much. It should. Cancer is now becoming the second cause of death in young children!!! Wake up America. It happened to the Romans. Are we destined for the same end?

If you have children, you must read this article. Become aware of how you can inadvertantly introduce pesticides into your home and your kid's system. You can go a long way toward protecting them from this unnecessary evil by just taking some precautions when you use these deadly chemicals.

KEEPING YOURS EYES HEALTHY

This is from Chris Gupta's internet site:

An article in Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) November 2, 1994, sings the praises of spinach. People who ate Popeye's favorite daily suffered only one-tenth as much age-related macular degeneration (AMD) as those who seldom ate spinach. And for patients with the condition, eating spinach prevented worsening.

Research has now confirmed that three to four portions of spinach weekly can reverse at least early AMD. "Dr. Richer, chief of the optometry section at the Dept. of Veterans Affairs in North Chicago, recently tested 14 patients who were showing the first signs of AMD. After just 12 weeks of eating three to four portions of spinach a week, those in the study showed 60% to 80% improvement in their AMD tests. Among the eight who had either a hole or a distortion in their vision, for seven the problem either improved or disappeared completely."

CLINICAL EVIDENCE FOR NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS

Here is some good, solid evidence that natural products rule. From: Dr. Michael T. Murray's Natural Facts Newsletter:

Top ten clinical research studies with natural products in 2004.

The Top Ten Studies in 2004

1) Echinacea does work if you use an effective product
2) U.S. Government study acknowledges health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids
3) Omega-3 index emerges as the most significant marker for heart disease
4) Black cohosh extract exerts anticancer effects against breast cancer cell
5) Combination of Glucosamine and MSM superior to either alone in treating osteoarthritis

6) Antioxidant supplementation reduces risk for Alzheimer’s disease
7) Long-term study shows CLA effective as weight loss aid
8) Even brief exposure to statin drugs lower CoQ10 levels
9) Lutein improves vision in patients with age-related macular degeneration
10)Ginkgo biloba extract continues to show benefits in elderly subjects
