“Getting Away” to De-Stress is The Best

Over the years I have been to seminars, read research and consulted many patients on how to manage the mental, emotional and physical effects of stress. What I have found from all these sources is that any effective stress reducing technique will almost always have to incorporate some form of “getting away”. Whether it be going to the gym to workout, taking a walk or hike outdoors, going for a road trip type drive, getting out of town, or taking an actual vacation, they all have one thing in common. They get you away either physically or mentally or both, from your typical routine environment. Even meditating, participating in sports, getting a spa or massage treatment or just sitting and enjoying the great outdoors gets you away mentally, if not physically.

Seems that all of these activities tend to get our minds off our internal mental dialogue and get us more back into experiencing the present. We humans are unique in that we tend to worry about the past and the future instead of just experiencing the present. While this ability allows us to conceive, plan and achieve amazing things (compared to other creatures) it also creates the majority of our stress. This is manifested first mentally which in turn is translated into a physical reaction. If our internal dialogue is chaotic, disjointed, with unresolved issues that you can’t seem to find solutions to, then the mental experience is unpleasant, if not painful and stressful.

Eventually the effect is translated to your physical body. Blood pressure and heart rate rises, digestion is disrupted, hormones (bodys’ regulators) are unbalanced, immune function is depressed… are all examples of just a few of the negative effects stress can have on our bodies. If the stress continues the effects will escalate and eventually contribute to decreased quality and length of life.

This is becoming more and more prevalent in modern societies as our daily activities become less physical and outdoorsy in nature and become more mental exertion in indoor environments. In fact many have claimed that stress is the scourge of modern living, and they may well be right. Certainly no one can argue that it has a very significant impact on our health and well being. In light of this it would be a good idea to have strategies to help alleviate the effects of stress. What they are isn’t as important as making sure they incorporate as much of a “getting away” component as possible. They should also be as regular as is possible and practical. Some daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly.

An example would be gym daily, movie and dinner weekly, weekend out of town monthly, out of state short 3-5 day vacation quarterly, and out of country longer 7-10 day vacation yearly. The daily and weekly usually are relatively easy to decide on and make as automatic routine. The monthly, quarterly, and yearly can be a little trickier as they usually involve getting away from your home base. This can require some logistical effort as travel, lodging, meals, etc… need to be considered and planned. This can make the trip stressful, before and during. Obviously this can be counter productive and is where it is very helpful to have either a travel agent or belong to a travel club.

Many people are finding travel clubs the way to go, not just for the convenience but for the deep discounts that are offered. Other benefits include a huge selection of travel and recreational choices to fit just about anyones preferences, budget and timetable. A lot of the offerings are all inclusive where lodging, travel, and meals are all taken care of, making the process fun and stress free. Many of these clubs also offer the opportunity for members to participate as business owners and make additional income. A search of the internet reveals here are many to choose from. One that has started, has many of the before mentioned benefits, and is very affordable, is Tripazon Travel.  However you decide to do it, just make sure you find a way to make “getting away” a part of your regular routine.

As Always…

The True Cause(s) of Diabetes!

I remember back in the late 80’s, when I first started practice, very few of my patients (and people I knew in general) had type 2 diabetes. Now a days it seems like virtually everyone and their brother has it, or is about to get (pre-diabetic) it. According to the CDC the ratio is now one in every 4 Americans, they also say that the number has quadrupled since the 80’s. Quadrupled! Astounding!

How can a disease that is non-communicable, and not very common pre 1980’s, all of a sudden, in the space of less than 30 years, become a raging epidemic? The answer is, of course, that it couldn’t unless it had some help. As it turns out, it has had lots of help. If you look at the diabetes disease charts its rise correlates nicely with advent of the governments “Food Pyramid”, the current medical practice of treating heart disease by suppressing cholesterol levels, the acceleration of processed foods to the market, and the almost complete replacement of sugar with High Fructose Corn Syrup.

Hopefully by now you realize that a diet high in carbohydrates, especially grains and fructose, as per conventional medicinal recommendations, is a diet guaranteed to create disease. Obesity, heart disease, cancers, and diabetes, just to name a few. While both these drive up the blood sugar levels and create adverse insulin reactions, fructose also has a nasty side effect of not suppressing Ghrelin (hunger hormone) so you are more hungry and suppressing leptin, so you don’t feel full. Either way you are driven to eat more than you should, mostly more processed foods laden with grains and fructose.

Fructose also has a nasty habit of converting fat at an alarming rate. While 120 calories of sucrose (regular table sugar) will convert 1 calorie to fat, that same amount of fructose calories will convert 40 calories to fat. As such fructose promotes obesity at a much faster rate and subsequently, diabetes.

However this past year at least 3 scientific studies have come to light (apparently there are many more) proving another cause that I have suspected for over a decade. You see in the mid to late 90’s I began noticing something odd. Up to that time most type 2 diabetics where very obese. I had begun noticing elderly indian immigrants brought over here from indian by their children were very often diabetic. The strange thing was they were slender, and had not become diabetic until they had been here for 1-2 years.

At first I thought the cause was the change in their diet to american processed foods. It turned most of them didn’t like american food and they had mostly retained their native diet which was pretty healthy. Eventually I found out that almost all of them went to american doctors soon after their arrival and of course were diagnosed with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. They were put on blood pressure meds and statins for the cholesterol. Within the year they became diabetic.

The pattern was too consistent to be coincidence. I was certain it was one or both of the drugs, but had no prove. Well the research has finally shown who the culprit is… the statins. Not only do statins rob your body of essential nutrients, particularly vitamin D and CoQ10 but now it turns out that they elevate blood sugar and increase blood insulin. They make you diabetic! If you read my article on cholesterol not being the cause of heart disease, then you realize there is little if any credible scientific evidence proving they help in reducing heart disease. The research has shown for a long time that not only do statins not do what they are suppose to, but is also showing that they create or contribute to a plethora of other diseases, the least of which is diabetes.

They Finally Admit It… PSA Test Doesn’t Work

A year ago I wrote in my blog that research and the available scientific data on PSA testing clearly showed that it was very inaccurate at detecting prostate cancer, does not save lives and actually created more health problems. I mentioned the evidence had been there for decades, but was ridiculed, suppressed and ignored by the medical community. I also explained that the reason was, as usual, because of money, big money. PSA testing and the followup testing, procedures and treatment that are generated by it, creates billions and billions of dollars of revenue.

Well lo and behold according to a recent New York Times article, a recommendation by the United States Preventive Services Task Force, is that PSA testing should not be done on healthy men. The recommendations are hard to intelligently argue with as they are based on five well-controlled clinical trials. Well at least they got it half right. I mean if the test has shown to basically be useless, which they admit, why give it to anyone, healthy or sick? No matter, at least someone, someone official and credible at that, is finally starting to tell the public the truth.

The Task Force confirmed the facts I revealed in my blog. The evidence showed that the test did not save lives. It also revealed that the test often generated more tests and treatments which they found to be unwarranted, leading to needless pain, impotence and incontinence. From 1986 to 2005 1 million men received a surgery, radiation or both, who would not have without a PSA test. This resulted in 5,000 dying soon after, 10,000 to 70,000 suffering serious complications, and 300,000 becoming impotent, incontinent or both.
That means the 35% percent or 350,000, of those men were worse (much worse if they died) than they would have been had they not received treatment. Should be no surprise there as the scientific data tells us that only 3% of the patients that get prostate cancer ever die from it and the vast majority of the remainder have little or no discomfort or dysfunction.

In light of these facts, for years most ethical Doctors have recommended a “watch and wait” strategy instead of any active treatment. Who in their right mind wouldn’t, if the choice was between a 97% chance of not dying, or having any significant symptoms versus a 35% chance of being much worse. Unfortunately it is going to be awhile before enough people get the message and enough Doctors do the right thing and stop ordering the test. Until then if you are male and over 50, do yourself a big, big favor and just pass on the PSA! It may save your life.

Women That Ate This Fat Lost Weight!

Just goes against everything you have been led to believe, doesn’t it? How could it be that people who consumed fat lost weight? Well that is exactly what happened in a recent study. Over a 12 week period, 40 women were separated in to 2 groups. Each group was assigned the same diet and exercise regime, the only difference was one group given soybean oil and the other coconut oil. The results?

While the soybean (you should never eat any form of soy except the fermented form) saw increased levels of bad cholesterol, decreased levels of good cholesterol and no waist fat reduction, the coconut group saw just the opposite. Reduction of bad cholesterol, increase in good cholesterol and reduction of abdominal fat.

We have been told for years that fat will cause us to gain weight and cause heart disease by raising our levels of bad cholesterol. Turns out, as with most things the devil is in the details as not all fats are created equal. Fats are detrimental if they are hydrogenated, polyunsaturated, or trans. While they may or may not cause an increase in body weight (this is controversial) most experts agree that they cause damage to arterial walls and increase the bad forms of cholesterol.

From my perspective it doesn’t really matter. Since they aren’t normally found in nature, they’re foreign (or even toxic) to your body, therefore unhealthy to consume. As time goes on, I find this simple rule is being scientifically proven over and over again.

Saturated fats on the other hand are exactly what your body needs to be healthy. As long as they are from a natural source and processed as little as possible. Foods such as range fed meats and chicken, eggs, wild fish, nuts, avocados, range fed raw diary, coconut and olive oil. It is recommended that for non-cooking to use olive oil (low flash point) and for cooking to use coconut oil (higher flash point). Personally I make sure to get at least 1-2 tablespoons per day of coconut oil in my protein shake, in coffee, soups, and as much of my cooking as possible.

Coconut oil has been shown to have many other healthy benefits, such as helping to reduce and control diabetes, has anti-microbial (viruses, bacterial, fungal, protozoa) properties, improves cardiovascular health, and helps reverse and prevent Alzheimers, to name a few. It can be hard to switch your programming from “all fats are bad” to the truth, you need fats to be healthy. They just have to be the right ones!

Research Shows That Flu Vaccination Doesn’t Work

For the last five years or so, about this time of the year I usually see the AP news article in the paper and the corresponding little blurb on the internet (you have to look close because it will be buried) where another study shows that the flu shot doesn’t work. That is right, doesn’t work. What study after study has consistently found, is that vaccinated people catch the flu more than non-vaccinated people. The manufacturer of the swine flu shot states that the shot is less than 17% effective. Seems like they would be embarrassed to admit it.The really interesting thing is that despite this fact, and that it is reported regularly, most people still believe the vaccine works and that most everybody should get one. I like to call this Medical Myth Syndrome whereby masses of people believe that which has proven to be untrue or not proven to be true.

If one spends any time at all studying credible, unbiased (not produced by the drug manufacturers) research it is easy to see why the vaccine doesn’t work. To begin with every year there are literally dozens and dozens of new or different flu strains that come with each new flu season. Drug makers obviously can’t know ahead of time which ones that will be so they have to guess in order to get the vaccinations produced by the start of the flu season. It is no surprise that more often than not they guess wrong.

Even in the best scenario if a vaccine actually works, they still can contain altered microorganisms, toxic heavy metals, known carcinogens, and mutated proteins to include: antifreeze, formaldehyde, detergent, MSG, aluminum, mercury, antibiotics, phenol, polysorbate 80, just to name a few. All these ingredients have been shown to cause disease in humans. A few of the conditions that have been documented include but are not limited to, narcolepsy, autism, coma, convulsions, fever, headache, allergies, asthma, herpes, and even death. Many health experts argue that at best vaccinations only offer a temporary immunity as they require followup boosters, sometimes every year as with the flu vaccination. At worse, growing evidence is showing a significant deterioration in the health of a growing number of the vaccinated population.

Fortunately the word is getting out and more and more people are opting to not participate. Recent studies show that most of these people are middle to upper class. They are not a bunch of kooks, they are well educated and well informed. They realize that it is irrational to get injected with a shot that has a very low success rate, can potentially cause life threatening or life long disease. Especially for diseases that pose little if any significant health threat and confer life long immunity if contracted naturally. It is simple common sense. Hopefully you will take the time to educate yourself on this issue and most likely you will come to the same conclusion. Most of the time, vaccination/immunization is bad medicine

The Great Skin Cancer Lie

I have always known that the medical hysteria about sunlight exposure and skin cancer was a hoax. I mean come on, it just didn’t make any sense. Humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, continually exposed to sunshine and until just recently, little or no skin cancer problems. Now all of a sudden literally everyone has got it or is at risk of getting it with virtually any sun exposure.

Turns out that if you check the rates of skin cancer, the countries that have less sun (northern latitudes) or have official “stay out of the sun” medical policies (like the US) have far greater rates. Also turns out that southern climes and areas where people are out in the sun a lot, have much lower rates. And not just skin cancer, but they have lower rates of all cancers and just about any degenerative disease. This is confirmed by study after study. So what gives?

Unless you are living under a rock, most likely you know that sun exposure is the primary way humans get (or were intended to get ) sufficient vitamin D. Vitamin D ( not really a vitamin, but a hormone) as it turns out is involved, to some degree, in a wide array of bodily functions, including protecting your skin against cancer. Most people are aware of the connection between lack of sunlight and increased rates of depression. The list goes on and on of the many ways vitamin D is essential to good health. There is just no getting around it, if you want to be healthy, you have to get enough vitamin D and the most efficient, inexpensive, safe, and healthy way to accomplish this, is through sun exposure.

Having said that there are a few common sense guidelines to follow. Pick a consistent time to start so that you can gauge and monitor your progress. Initially only stay out until you skin just turns pink, which is right before you would burn. For most this would be 20-30 minutes depending on skin type. Gradually work the time up as you can tolerate, without burning, to at least an hour each session. Expose as much of your body as possible without getting arrested. Get in 4 or more of these sessions per week and your vitamin D levels should be nicely optimized. When you know you have had enough, the best protection is to cover up with clothing as most commercial sun blocks are toxic.  However Mercola has some great natural sun tan and sun block products.

Hopefully this makes sense and is not a big surprise to you. As usual it turns out that what nature provides is best for you, as long as you don’t do weird stuff and mess it up.

So get out there and catch some rays!

Cause of 61% of Multiple Sclerosis Cases

 

It seems like lately everytime I turn around there is another reason to get out into the sun.  Research is consistently showing that proper levels of vitamin D can help combat or prevent, to some degree, just about every chronic and/or degenerative disease known to man.

Well you can now include Multiple Sclerosis to the list.   Dr. Mercola talks about a couple of studies that show a very positive impact being in the sun can have on this extremely disabiling disease…

————————————————————————————————————————————————-   

A large number of studies have confirmed that your risk of MS increases the farther away you live from the equator. In fact, a lack of sunlight was identified as a risk factor for MS as early as 1922. Within the United States, your risk of developing MS roughly doubles if you spend your childhood—up to the age of 15—in northern states than if you live in the south.

Another previously established risk factor is the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), which causes glandular fever. Eleven years ago, German researchers demonstrated the association between EBV and MS, showing that in contrast to control populations, 100 percent of MS patients had antibodies against EBV. The authors suggested that EBV might play an indirect role in MS as an activator of the underlying disease process.

In the most recent study, published in the journal Neurology last month, researchers assessed the relationship between ultraviolet B radiation (UVB) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) exposure in British MS patients.

Using English national Hospital Episode Statistics, they obtained the prevalence of MS and infectious mononucleosis (caused by the Epstein-Barr virus) during the seven-year period from 1998 to 2005. The UVB intensity data was collected from the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

After evaluating the relationships between these three variables: MS prevalence, Epstein-Barr virus prevalence, and UVB intensity, they found that UVB exposure alone could explain 61 percent of the variations of MS cases across England. When they combined UVB exposure and incidence of glandular fever, 72 percent of the variations could be explained.

———————————————————————————————————————————————–

61%, Wow, that is huge!

Folks, if I have told you once, I have told you many times there are literally dozens (if not hundreds) of reasons to get out in the sun. 

Research has proven and continues to prove that proper levels of Vitamin D is one of the most important things to do in order to assure good health and a long life time.  It reduces your risk of almost any kind of cancer (especially skin), heart disease, diabetes, alzheimers, obesity, to name just a few, and now MS.

Remember either you get an average of 15 minutes plus sun exposure a day or take 3-5,000 I.U.s of vitamin D3 per day in order to insure high enough levels in your system, which on testing should be 70ng/ml or better.

So get out there and get some rays!

High Fructose Killing (Corn) Syrup

 

The news on HFCS just keeps getting worse and worse. 

A new study published by Dr. Anthony Heaney in “Cancer Research” found that pancreatic cancer cells flourished with HFCS.  Other studies have linked it to heart disease, diabetes and obesity, to name just a few.  But those few are big ones.  A recent study from Princeton University found that HFCS promotes obesity. 

It suppresses the appetite suppressing hormone leptin, which results in massive overeating.  Fat deposits from consuming HFCS are lumpy in appearance (cellulite) are hard for the body to metabolize correctly and deposit in and around organs (mostly the liver) much more than regular sugar.

Fructose converts to fat at a rate that is 40 times that of regular sugar.   Of 120 calories of table sugar, less than one calorie is converted to fat, while 120 calories of fructose will convert 40 calories to fat.   40 times more!!

Folks this stuff is what is causing so much obesity in this country, so much disease and ultimately so many deaths!

If you are eating anything at all that is processed and has sweetener in it (other than sugarless which is no better) then you are getting HFCS and it is killing you.

Apparently the producers of HFCS are beginnng to feel the heat from the increasing revelations of their products unhealthy effects on consumers.  They have applied for a name change on product labels to “corn sugar”.   Doesn’t matter what they call it, it is still poison to you.

Your best defense is to not eat processed foods in the first place.  Any foods that are packaged in cans, boxes, plastic, etc., and has more than one ingredient on the label, is usually processed.  The more ingredients, the more processed and the more processed it is, usually the more unhealthy it is for you.

Sweets are fine, as long as you eat them in moderation and use natural sweetners like honey and sugar (raw, whole cane is best) .  Do not use artificial sweetners, or agave syrup which is very high in fructose.

Keep it simple, stick with mother nature and get foods as natural, organic, fresh and unadulterated as you possibly can.

Turmeric Mighty Disease Fighter

I have seen two reports lately concerning research about turmerics’ ability to help with disease.  In one study it was shown that turmeric retarded the growth of  prostate cancer cells.  Apparently there are quite a few other studies showing turmeric fights cancer but in this one they added PEITC ( phenylethyl isothiocyanate ) and got much stronger results.  To some of you who read my blog, that probably won’t be a surprise as  I recently wrote about a study that showed PEITC stopped breast cancer growth. 

Both of these studies give the reason for the stop in the cancer growth as due to these substances ability to stop the proliferation of new blood vessel growth that is required for the cancer to survive.  So it certainly makes sense that in combination there would be a synergistic effect and the study proves it.  By the way since there are no supplements I am aware of for PEITC, you will need to get it from the foods that contain it like, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, turnips, and watercress.  The recommendation for watercress is about 80 grams or the equivalent of a small cereal bowl.

However as I wrote about in my last blog, turns out there is a fair amount of research showing that turmeric is helpful with combating heart disease, diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure and Alzheimers.  The Alzheimers research recommends turmeric in combination with Vitamin D to get a much better effect.  There is that synergism thing again.  Apparently they help activate the immune systems “cleaning crew” that in normal people is not allowing the Alzheimers proteins to deposit plaques in the brain. 

At this point it seems apparent that turmeric has way too much potential to help prevent and/or reverse disease in general.  As such it seems foolish not to find a way to incorporate it into just about anyones diet.  If you eat it 2-3 times per week you are probably getting enough, but if you are like me and don’t like the taste or smell then you need to take a supplement, 200 mg is recommended.  Vitamin D should be 3,000-5,000 I.U. s per day or whole body sun exposure 20-30 minutes 4-5 times per week.  Couple that with 80 grams of PEITC and who knows what disease(s) you will be helping to  prevent.  With what we know already, I suspect quite a few.

Spice and Sunlight Combat Alzheimers!

Just got this information from Ian Robinson of Natural Health Dossier on combating Alzheimers which is rising at frightening rates in our senior population.  It is very important to take the time to develope and practice as many low cost, low risk strategies as possible to hopefully avoid coming down with this very disabiling disease.  Especially as the conventional treatments provide very limited benefit at best.

Here is an excerpt from Ians’ newsletter…

————————————————————————————————————————————————

Dr. Fiala’s earlier work shows that a protein called amyloid-beta accumulates in our brains, causing plaque to build up over time. This breaks down mental function and leads to Alzheimer’s.

Dr. Fiala was the first to show that curcumin can combat this. He found that the spice helps the immune system remove this protein from our brains.

But his latest research shows it can be even more powerful with the addition of vitamin D3.

They found that curcumin helps bind the protein to the “cleaning crew.” Vitamin D boosts the cleaners’ absorption of the protein – in all patients. That allows the “cleaning crew” to remove the dangerous protein. Just like healthy people.

“Vitamin D3 and curcumin offer new treatment possibilities for Alzheimer’s,” says Dr. Fiala.

He notes that both compounds are completely natural and safe. That means you can take steps today to prevent Alzheimer’s.

The best source of vitamin D3 is natural sunlight. In summer and spring months you should opt for at least 20 minutes each day. But during the winter you can also get it in your diet.

Wild-caught cold-water fish are perhaps the best dietary sources of vitamin D3. But cage-free eggs and organic yogurt are good sources too.

You can also buy a vitamin D3 supplement in capsule form. The recommended dose is 10 mcg each day for people over 50.

As for curcumin… getting that is easy. It’s found in abundant amounts in Indian food and spicy curry. But you can also buy it in supplement form at most good health stores.

It is recommended you take one tablespoon or 200mg of curcumin each day.

————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Ians’ recommendations on vitamin D3 are in micrograms.  The vitamin D I have always taken is measured in international units.  I take from 3,000 – 5,000 per as recommended by (Dr. Sears and Mercola) when I am not able to get in the sun.  When I can get in the sunat least 30 minutes to an hour 3 times a week regularly, I don’t both supplementing.  They also both recommend that your tested levels should be above 60 ng/ml, which is 30 ng/ml  above the conventional recommendation of 30 ng/ml.

Getting enough sunlight (vitamin D) and turmeric along with the 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil I recommended in an earlier blog, are not only inexpensive and easy ways to help fight Alzheimers but also to improve your health generally!
