Did You Know...

                          ... that a mushroom used initially in traditional Chinese medicine as a tonic is now being seriously studied as a cancer treatment?


     Derivatives of Coriolus versicolor (Yun Zhi), a time-honored mushroom that has been used in Asian medicine for centuries, have shown increasing promise as integrative cancer treatments.  Clinical trials suggest that these derived substances, known for their strong antioxidant properties, can increase the survival rates and lengthen the remission times of individuals suffering from certain types of cancers.

     While very little is known about the effects of the raw mushroom itself on cancer, scientific evidence is unveiling much about the beneficial nature of two substances extracted from the mushroom:  polysaccharide K (PSK) and polysaccharide-peptide (PSP).  Don't let the long names confuse you; polysaccharides are carbohydrates composed of long chains of sugar molecules that help store energy and provide structural support to the walls of plant and bacterial cells.


A Top-Selling Anti-Cancer Drug in Japan

PSK has received the most attention as an anti-cancer fighting agent.  Approved as an anti-cancer drug in the 1980s by the Japanese government, this mushroom extract is already a top-selling anti-cancer drug in Japan, where it is used in conjunction with chemotherapy, surgery and radiation therapy. 

     Researchers at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center examined 2 dozen human clinical trials that analyzed the effects of PSK on cancer patients, particularly those suffering from cancer of the esophagus, stomach, colon and breast.

     Comprehensive results showed that most patients benefited:  When administered with other treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, PSK increased the amount of time that patients were free of disease, and also increased survival rates.  Smaller studies indicate that PSK may not be as effective against leukemia and liver cancer.

     Animal studies testing PSK confirm the results of human clinical trials.  PSK has been shown to slow the growth and spread of cancer cells ... boost the immune systems of cancer victims ... and reduce the extreme side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Extract Stalls the Growth of Lung Cancer, Sarcoma and Brain Tumors

The Coriolus versicolor extract PSP is a more recent discovery that has not been as extensively studied as PSK.  Preliminary Chinese studies conducted on cell cultures or animals suggest that PSP may defend against the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, but human clinical trials are needed to back up such results.

     A small human clinical trial reviewing the effects of PSP on lung cancer patients showed that those taking PSP sustained health longer than those undergoing standard treatment without PSP.  Animal studies also suggest that PSP might stall the growth of lung cancer and sarcoma and enhance the effectiveness of radiation therapy in treating brain tumors.

     Extracts of Coriolus versicolor have been used to boost the immune system and treat many other ailments such as...
       
 Herpes
 Chronic fatigue syndrome
 Hepatitis
 Lung disorders
 Ringworm
 Skin infections, including impetigo
 Urinary tract infections
 Digestive tract infections
 Poor appetite
   
You can find extracts of Coriolus versicolor in capsule, extract or tea form online, in health food stores and in herbal medicine shops.  Healthcare practitioners recommend 1 to 9 grams daily, depending on the type and severity of your condition.  Side effects are mild and rare but can include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and diarrhea.  More rare complications are darkening of the fingernails and low blood cell counts.  Check with your healthcare provider before beginning any healthcare regimen.

High Blood Pressure - A Video about a Natural Remdy

 Brought to you by Think-Outside-the-Book     Publishing, LLC

Email received on 21 February 2011


Why Did Google Ban This Video About

a Natural HBP Remedy?       

                              
Google has banned a recently released informative video that details natural solutions to high blood pressure (HBP).  Censoring an illicit video is understandable, but why ban an indispensable one that delivers beneficial information that could save millions of lives?

     The banned video contains information such as:

• Little-known remedies for HBP that are natural, safe and most likely already tucked away in your pantry.
• Recipes high in potassium and Omega-3 and low in sodium, fat and calories to support healthy blood pressure levels.
• A secret dessert that helps eliminate and prevent HBP.
• Testimonials from people just like you who have safely and easily cured their HBP with natural, cost-effective, drug-free alternatives.

Why Was the Video Banned?  Answer: MONEY

The pharmaceutical industry is a moneymaking machine, one that raked in $307 billion in prescription drugs in 2010 alone.  According to IMS (Institute for Healthcare Informatics), HBP treatment accounted for $76.6 billion in health care services, medications and days of work missed in that same year.  $21.3 billion was spent on HBP drugs.

     That's way too much money for the pharmaceutical industry and medical establishment to miss out on.  Naturally, they wish to suppress information that could threaten their moneymaking potential, information that could put an end to your risk of heart attack and stroke in just a few short days.  They are counting on you, the patient, to develop high blood pressure, seek out diagnosis and treatment, and then purchase expensive prescription drugs that aren't nearly as effective as promised.

     The medical industry just doesn't live up to its empty promises and guarantees.


HBP Drugs are Hazardous to Your Health

The Centers for Disease Control reports that 1 in 3 adults have high blood pressure and that the number of people taking HBP drugs is increasing.  These statistics highlight an interesting paradox and prove that HBP drugs just don't get the job done:  The percentage of people with high blood pressure hasn't decreased in 10 years, despite the growing number of individuals taking HBP drugs.

     Developed to cure high blood pressure, or hypertension, HBP drugs work in different ways:  Some stabilize heart rate, some expand the arteries and some thin the blood so that it flows more easily.  They all come with dangerous side effects.


Mounting Evidence Exposes the Dangers of HBP Drugs:

• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Bowel Irregularities
• Heart Palpitations
•  ED
• Menstrual problems
• Fatigue
• Kidney and Liver Failure

     The leading HBP drugs are classified into 4 different categories, each with a unique set of complications.

• Diuretics, or water pills, rob the body of necessary energy, prompting chronic fatigue, weakness, cramping, hearing loss, kidney issues, heart arrhythmias and gout.  Diuretics also upset blood sugar levels and block the absorption of potassium, a natural and necessary mineral for optimal heart health.
• Beta blockers, designed to slow heart rate, also cause fatigue, asthma, depression and weight gain.  The results of a study published in the American Journal of Medical Sciences demonstrated that beta blockers inhibit a man's masculine drive, as participants reported a 50% decrease in bedroom activity.
• Alpha blockers relax the arteries, but also lower blood pressure to a dangerous degree, thereby causing weakness, fatigue, anemia, diarrhea and joint pain.  And of course there is the unwanted ED side effect that no man wants to deal with.   In fact, 70% of men who experience these side effects stop taking HBP medications.
• Vasodilators, which also relax the arteries, have been known to cause headaches, heart palpitations, unwanted hair growth and severe joint pain.

     And the evidence keeps on coming!  A study published in Circulation, the journal of the American Heart Association, demonstrated that the overuse of prescription hypertension drugs can push blood pressure levels below normal, resulting in cardiovascular complications.  When blood pressure is too low, a sufficient amount of blood cannot reach the organs, resulting in temporary or permanent damage to organ function.

So ... Do HBP Drugs Work At All?

The verdict is in:  Expensive prescription drugs come with hazardous complications and are a poor defense against heart attacks and strokes.  The drug companies do a wonderful job covering up this truth and keeping you from discovering simple, natural solutions—including a simple, delicious dessert—that can stabilize your blood pressure and ensure your heart health for good.


Don't Be a Ticking Time Bomb

High blood pressure is a serious condition that cannot be ignored or mismanaged.  According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, 70% of strokes are a direct result of blood pressure, and heart disease is still the number one cause of death of men and women.  If you are among the 76.4 million people in the United States with high blood pressure—a number that is expected to increase by 27 million by 2030—you should know that you have other, more healthful options to treating HBP than prescription drugs.

     According to the Mayo Clinic, making lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthier diet with less salt, exercising more, quitting smoking and losing weight, is the key to managing high blood pressure.  Leading health expert Dr. Scott Saunders points to at least 50 effective ways to lower your blood pressure, none of which will cost you any money. 

     In a candid, straightforward video, Joe Barton, acclaimed health advocate and author of several popular natural health books, exposes these safe, simple and natural solutions for eliminating high blood pressure permanently.  Although Google has "caved" to the pressures of the opportunistic drug manufacturers, you can still watch this video on Joe's private webpage.  Discover the natural methods that cure hypertension and free you from a lifelong dependency on HBP prescription drugs.  When the interests of the $21 billion HBP drug machine are threatened, time is of the essence, so click here to watch this video now.

Chlorella - the way to detoxify your liver

Brought to you by Think-Outside-the-Book     Publishing, LLC

email dated 21 February 2012


Did You Know...

...that the typical modern person has a liver enlarged to twice the size of a healthy liver                                       because of the storage of undesirable toxins?   Here's how a whole-food based supplement may be one of                                       the most powerful natural ways to detoxify your liver ...                                       and it has also been shown to reduce cancer and effectively prevent alcohol hangovers.

     The 21st century has seen a sharp increase in diseases related to accumulated toxins.  That's because the number of toxins—in the form of pathogens, chemicals, and other poisons—in our environment has risen steeply.  Toxins are all around us, as food additives, industrial pollution of air and water, plastic and plastic byproducts, chemical- laden personal care products, and more.

     Over time, our bodies' toxic waste removal systems can become easily overloaded.


Toxic Build-Up:  Early Signs and Serious Consequences

Toxic build-up can manifest in a number of unpleasant health problems, such as:

•  Lack of energy
•  Depression
•  Joint pain
•  Exhaustion
•  Digestive problems
•  Impaired assimilation and utilization of fats
•  Poor blood sugar regulation
•  Reproductive difficulties

     When the toxins accumulate long-term, even more serious conditions can arise.  Diseases like cancer ... autoimmune dysfunction ... autism ... Alzheimer's ... and Parkinson's can all be at least partly attributed to toxic build-up in the body.


Proactive Cleansing of Toxins

What can be done when the body becomes incapable of cleansing itself of the onslaught of toxins in our daily lives?

     Experts advise taking a proactive approach.  One of the very best steps you can take is to find a detoxifier that works for you.  And one of the most powerful and effective natural, whole-food sources for removing toxins from the body is a green algae called chlorella.

     Chlorella contains almost 38 times more protein than soy beans and close to 55 times the protein found in rice, including all essential amino acids which have been balanced by nature.   It is the highest plant source of health-enhancing nucleic acids, including RNA and DNA.  


Flushes Out Heavy Metals and Chemicals for a Cleaner Digestive Tract, Cleaner Blood, and Healthier Liver

Chlorella detoxifies your body by clearing out deposits of unwanted metals and toxins from the body through binding.  Once ingested, chlorella binds to any heavy metals (such as lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic), chemicals, pesticides, herbicides and other toxic materials lingering in the digestive tract so that they can be flushed out.

     Unlike many other detoxifying agents that can flush out beneficial and necessary minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc, chlorella uniquely binds only to the minerals that are damaging to your body.

Chlorella's cleansing effect on the digestive tract and bowels produces cleaner blood. 

Subsequently, this clean blood more efficiently clears metabolic waste from tissues and organs, and thereby protects your liver.


Chlorophyll... Nature's Powerful Detoxifier

Chlorella's outstanding detoxification properties stem from its rich concentrations of chlorophyll, which has been shown to:

•  Improve oxygen production
•  Clean toxins from the body
•  Regulate blood pressure
•  Eliminate mold from the body
•  Neutralize airborne toxins taken in with oxygen
•  Speed growth and repair of tissues
•  Cleanse elimination systems (like the bowels, blood and liver)

Reduce Alcohol Hangover by 96%

Chlorella's ability to protect the liver is especially impressive.  Not only can chlorella prevent toxic injury to the liver, but it can also ward off the negative impact of excess alcohol consumption.

In one study conducted by Dr. Fukui of Sapporo Medical University, chlorella lessened alcohol hangover symptoms by 96%.  Dr. Fukui found that ingesting 4-5 grams of chlorella prior to drinking alcohol  delivered the following positive effects:

•  Enhanced the liver's detoxification capacities
•  Promoted the removal of alcohol from the blood
•  Prevented hangovers

 Choosing a Chlorella Supplement

One of chlorella's challenges is that in its natural, unprocessed form, it is completely indigestible by humans.  Chlorella has a harder cell membrane than other algae, and must have its cell structure cracked or broken in order for the body to assimilate its powerful nutritional benefits.   For this reason, it is advisable to consume only "broken cell wall" chlorella, which is processed using exclusive advanced techniques to break open the plant's cell wall.

     Broken cell wall chlorella unlocks the algae's detoxification abilities and activates the supplement's other health benefits.

     "This is the only form that allows your body to use this powerful detoxifying agent," says Dr. Joseph Mercola, renowned health expert.  He also advises that you investigate the water sources where the chlorella for your supplement is grown and harvested to ensure there is no threat of pollution or environmental toxins.

Be Aware of "Fake Honey"

13 February 2012

Did You Know...

                      ... that more than 75% of all commercial honey is "fake honey"—and is devoid of all health and medicinal benefits?

     The medicinal and nutritional value of honey is no secret.  We have been using honey as a sugar substitute in our tea for years, as a flavorful topping for our toast and English muffins, and even as a tonic for sore, scratchy throats.  Some even slather it on their skin, hoping to capitalize on honey's antioxidant and anti-microbial properties. 

     Unfortunately, American consumers have been deceived.  Chances are the honey we have been enjoying is nothing more than a mixture of sugar water, malt sweeteners, corn rice syrup and other non-nutritional additives.

     According to a very recent report in Food Safety News (FSN) three-fourths of the honey on American shelves is ultra-processed and devoid of all medicinal properties.  FSN researchers analyzed 60 jars, jugs and plastic "bears" of honey that lined the shelves of food stores in 10 states and the District of Columbia, to see if the honey lived up to the standards set by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  The results are shocking:

•  76 percent of the honey in major grocery stores contained no pollen.
•  77 percent of the honey in warehouse stores, such as Costco, Walmart and Target, was pollen-free.
•  100 percent of the honey in drugstores was absent of pollen.
•  100 percent of the individual honey packets produced by chains like Smuckers, McDonald's and KFC had no pollen.

What is the significance of pollen-free honey?

      According to the FDA, honey without pollen is essentially fake honey.  The organization maintains that if a "honey" product has been filtered to the degree that there are no longer any microscopic pollen particles, then that product is not honey.

     While the standards set by the FDA match the standards set by the World Health Organization and the European Commission, the FDA does not monitor imported honey to ensure that it comes from safe and sanctioned sources.  The lack of a U.S. standard of identification explains the overwhelming amount of fake honey being sold in America.

What's the motivation for ultra-processing?
 

     For those manufacturing honey, ultra-processing is easier, cheaper and quicker.  It also appeals to consumer preference; the more processed, the clearer the honey, a visual aesthetic that is more appealing.  Honey also suffers from the same supermarket preservative syndrome that fruits and vegetables do.  Processed and preserved for a longer shelf life, fake honey may stand the test of time; but it has lost its taste, and its medicinal and nutritional value.

     These motivations hold no weight.  According to American beekeepers, traditional filtering methods are all that are needed to catch wax and debris from the hives, leaving pollen and all of honey's medicinal benefits intact.

     There is perhaps a shadier motivation underlying the ultra-filtering process.  With no traces of pollen remaining, authorities cannot trace the honey's country of origin.  Honey shipped from China is notoriously contaminated with illegal antibiotics such as chloramphenicol—an antibiotic that has been linked to cancer and DNA damage—and with heavy metals such as lead.

     Mark Jensen, president of the American Honey Producers Association, comments:

     "In my judgment, it is pretty safe to assume that any ultra-filtered honey on store shelves is Chinese honey and it's even safer to assume that it entered the country uninspected and in violation of federal law."

     In the past 18 months the United States has imported 208 million pounds of honey, 60 percent of which came from Asian countries, which are known to be established laundering locations where Chinese brokers import fake honey, even going so far as to switch labels and create counterfeit country of origin papers.

     To make sure you are not being duped, purchase honey, organic honey if possible, from health food stores such as Whole Foods and Trader Joes, or visit your local farmers' markets.

     Start enjoying the many benefits of real honey, which...
 

•  Defends against viruses
•  Provides relief from allergies
•  Soothes sore throats
•  Promotes strong teeth
•  Encourages healthy skin
•  Supports healthy bacteria in the intestinal tract
