LDL or bad cholesterol is certainly not the cause of heart disease or stroke as many have been led to accept, rather the immediate cause is your homocysteine levels, and this site has touched upon that very subject before.

You might be surprised to know that your brain needs cholesterol to function as does the synthesis of your bile and even the production of your sex hormones.

You ought to be aware that infact cholesterol does not clog your arteries unless there is something for it to attach to in your arteries in the very first place. Existence of such a rough surface results from inflammation due to excessive homocysteine levels.

Briefly, excessive homocysteine levels cause irritation (sub-clinical inflammation) in the artery cell walls and it is on the rough surfaces thus caused, and are now protruding in the artery cavity, to which ldl cholesterol attaches as it courses through the arteries as part of your blood stream. That causes restriction of the space needed by your bloodstream as it circulates, hence the heart now has to pump harder in an attempt to get the bloodstream volume moving, and right there is your high blood pressure. Atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis are also right here, as is heart attack or stroke, all from the same origin, but for the sake of profits they are handled as if they are all different.

This site has detailed all that before, take a look at the relevant previous posts.

One simple, natural, safe and clinically proven approach can tackle those specific concerns. And it is available almost for a song, at a healthy food store in your neck of the woods, or if you prefer there will be a link at the end of this post.

It must be emphasized that you must take good control of your health by making sure that good and proper nutrition is at the highest of your considerations. Natural unprocessed foods are excellent at lowering cholesterol naturally. If you eat beef, be absolutely sure that IT IS GRASS-FED and not not not grain-fed beef. It is from grain-fed beef that your homocysteine levels spike up tremendously.

Lower bad Cholesterol

Reader, you do know that your normal body temperature is 37 degrees Centigrade (98.4 degrees Fahrenheit) and cholesterol melts at 149 degrees Centigrade. Now then, suppose that some cholesterol has accumulated in your arteries causing a partial dam-like effect, so that you are still able to move about. It would certainly help to lower that cholesterol if you could liquify it or melt it. By the way, you never ever want your total cholesterol levels too low, you could kick the bucket as a result of too low cholesterol. But done naturally, nature has automatic safeguards.

Already then,as reported in the Journal of American Oil Chemist’s Society, it was F.A. Vanderheuvel, a Canadian clinical researcher who found that cholesterol becomes very soluble in your bloodstream provided there is enough Lecithin there.

That clinical research was replicated at the Boston University by D.L. Small, who reconfirmed the findings of the Canadian researcher, that both fat-protein molecules HDL and LDL, that transport cholesterol, do contain lecithin. The fat protein portion of HDL has twice as much lecithin as that of ldl.

Take a look at this nature’s miracle, those fats in HDL are 53% lecithin and 27% cholesterol while fats in the LDL are only 29% lecithin and a high 45% cholesterol. Obviously the HDL portion of your cholesterol has a much higher content of beneficial lecithin.
Now reader, do you see the origins of the nicknames “good cholesterol” for hdl and “bad cholesterol” for ldl? Interesting, isn’t it?

Yes reader, you have guessed correctly that you do not hear about nature’s miracles such as this, because it cannot be patented.

Protect your heart.

Now you can easily, affordably, naturally, safely and effectively protect your heart by automatically naturally balancing your cholesterol levels. A reminder is that good and proper nutrition has to be your foundation to good health and keeping it there.

How to lower cholesterol

As a cholesterol lowering diet, one to two tablespoonfuls of lecithin daily, and that could be mixed in your natural smoothies, fresh juices, yogurt, cold soups or even sprinkled on fruit or even a salad, and that gives you a number of ways to lower bad cholesterol.

MOTHER NATURE’S BEST SUPER FOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH.

and there is more of it here to blend in your smoothies or juices mix it in your yogurt or cool soups or liberally sprinkle it on fruit

Chlorella Powder, Japan (Chlorella pyrenoidosa) 1 lb: C

This is Starwest’s nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. This is broken cell wall processed chlorella. Chlorella is a fresh water, single-celled algae. It is a nutrient-dense superfood that contains 60% protein, 18 amino acids (including all the essential amino acids), and various vitamins and minerals. Its deep green color comes from the fact that chlorella contains the highest amount of chlorophyll of any know plant. It makes a great addition to any nutritious smoothie blend. One of chlorella’s unique properties is a phytonutrient called CGF. CGF is a nucleotide-peptide complex found in the nucleus of the chlorella cell. There are many species of chlorella, but only Chlorella pyrenoidosa was found to be rich in the CGF and nutrients. Chlorella has been used as energy-producing food in Asia for centuries. In Japan, it is traditionally used as a treatment for duodenal ulcers, gastritis, hypertension, diabetes, hypoglycemia, asthma, and constipation. More recently, it is has been touted as an effective therapy for elevated cholesterol levels, a prophylactic to ward of infections and, and adjunct treatment for cancer. Chlorella is now used as an adjunct supplement during radiation treatment for cancer. Its abundance of chlorophyll is known to protect the body against ultraviolet radiation. It is often combined with other natural green foods such as spirulina, wheat grass, barley greens, and sometimes seaweed. Active compounds Vitamins, including many B complex vitamins, (B-1, B-2, B-3, B-6, pantotheneic acid, folic acid, biotin, PABA, inositol, B-12), vitamin A, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, iodine, phosphorus. Chlorella appears to be free of any undesirable side effects Research conducted in Japan suggests that chlorella may have antitumor activity against breast cancer. However, its main use in cancer therapy is to help remove radioactive particles from the body after radiation treatment.

Uncovered,the cause of diseases in our country.

According to the Harvard School Of Public Health, and please reader pay close attention,
“The major causes of diseases in our country– such as cancer, cardiovascular disease,diabetes, stroke- are not genetic factors as many have been led to believe, and use as an excuse, BUT diet and lifestyle. We have documented that unhealthy diet and lifestyle account for more than 80% of heart diseases, 90% of type 2 diabetes and more than 70% of strokes and colon cancer”

Reader, do you see why you need nature’s super foods?
Without good health, you have nothing.

The Prescription Drug Trap.

From the Foundational Health Education(FHE), a link to which is found further down, one learns the following:

Dr. Matthew Fink, Beth israel hospital, is quoted by the New York Times, “The system encourages people to get sick and then people get paid to treat them”. In that same issue of the New York Times it is pointed out that very big money is found not in treating the disease but the complications that arise, presumably the ever present deadly side-effects.

The FHE further points out a very shocking fact, are you ready for it reader? Here it is, one American dies every five minutes from the “approved” drugs.
Here is the full scoop:
The Prescription Drug Trap

Because of their artificial molecular structure, many medications do deplete your body of various key nutrients. The full story of HRT or hormone replacement therapy for Menopausal or postmenopausal women is left untold as it gets hidden in the very slick marketing of associating it with two of the most bothersome concerns of the day, namely osteoporosis and cholesterol, hence the misguided popularity of estrogen.

Serious nutrient deficiencies come about particulary with long term use of medications such as high blood pressure drugs, the cholesterol lowering drugs that have been lately (early 2008) exposed as useless at best, and there is ample reasons and clinical proof that the recent plight of a famous Senator now with cancer, has it’s roots in such drugs, and not to forget the anti-diabetic medications.

The  constant unnatural estrogen exposure worsenes the current bleak outlook that one out of ten women in the USA will develop breast cancer. It does not at all have to be that way because there are clinically proven and safe approaches to keep you safe from that scourge and if you have it already, it can be made to vanish without drugs. There is a full post on breast cancer, in que for posting at this site. In the meantime, if you are a woman, it is advisable to throw away the fashionable tight fitting bras and loosen that part a bit, for your good health. Your breasts were never meant to be in a continous tight squeeze 24/7/365. Furthermore, do take a very careful look at vitamin D3. That vitamin is missing in every woman with breast cancer.

Estrogen use increases your risk of breast cancer, uterine cancer, gall bladder ill-health and excess blood clotting that can lead to stroke, pulmonary emboli, depression,heart attack, high blood pressure and even thyroid suppression. Clinical researches cited in the New England Journal of Medicine show that medical hormone replacement increases the coagulability of your blood thus elevating the risk of a heart attack, and neither does it lower deaths caused by heart disease.

Your nutrient depletion comes about as the drugs interfere with the absorption of a nutrient by blocking the relevant receptor sites on the cells or by bonding with nutrients and thus make them unavailable. This same phenomenon is also observable when growing crops with the artificial fertilizers, and that partly accounts for the loss on nutritional intergrity in much of our food supply today.

You ought to know that your body nutrients require a certain alkaline or acid environment to be properly absorbed, however some drugs dramatically alter the pH balance of your digestive tract and once again hindering absorption. they even interfere with the synthesis of various compounds in the cells, the metabolism therein and the nutrients transport system.

With that deficiency state of affairs brought about, medications do lead  to a variety of symptoms, as for instance depression, insomnia, fatigue, cardiac ab normalties, hair loss, memory loss, arrthymia, hearing loss, anemia and no doubt a lowered immune response.

 Most frightening is that some  drug induced nutrients depletion are not easily noticeable, submarine-like they are dangerously silent, so to speak, very insidious and at sub-clinical levels and increase your vulnerability to cancer, heart disease and osteoporosis.

What you have just read is nothing new, those effects are very thoroughly documented in the scientific  literature, but somehow the conventional medical community pretends they don’t exist.

Dear reader, your author cannot resist to pose  this intriguing question, Who benefits?

By the time the first signs of trouble  surface, your body may have been suffering from the depletion for months or even a few years.  For instance,drugs such as aspirin or the so called acid-blockers like zantac, pepcid and cholesterol drugs like questran deplete your body of iron. And it could take six months to a year for the first signs of real trouble, anemia–hair loss, constant fatigue, weakness— to begin to surface.

At that point it is difficult to track the problem to the cause, which may well be the drug that you took or have been taking for months without any noticeable trouble. Infact, if you were lucky enough to have a physician with a bit of knowledge about deficiencies, the chances of tracking  it to a medical drug would be very very minimal.  It therefore stands to reason that the cause is rarely identified and thus symptoms resulting from medication induced nutrient deficiencies are often wrongly treated with yet other medications, that cause addtional deficiencies and compounding your health problems.

Reader, do come along and follow with me  this 54 year old female who has been undergoing hormone replacement since her menopause at age 51. You will find this very interesting especially against the background of what you have read so far.

This post will continue, stay tuned.

Contrary to popular belief, there are available a number of clinically proven natural alternatives that beat Migraine Headaches safely without the side effects of prescription medications and also address the underlying cause in a number of cases.

While these headaches arise from a number of causes, migraine headaches by and large are a result of flactuations in blood flow to your brain. A common trigger is a nutritional deficiency, that of magnesium deficiency to be exact, it being known in clinical circles that that magnesium deficiency allows serotonin levels to flow unchecked. Such flactuating serotonin levels give rise to vascular spasms which in effect reduce blood flow and thus oxygen to your brain, resulting in a release of pain producing chemicals such as prostaglandins.

The Journal Of the American College Of Nutrition indicates that twenty five percent of the population in the USA has anywhere near the so called RDI(required daily intake)of 420 mg of magnesium. The “so called” is your author’s emphasis that the RDI is set far too low for all of the nutrients required by the body human. That RDI as it stands today and since it’s existence, is deliberately designed to merely keep you alive and diseased due to nutritional deficiencies, while every effort is made to keep you ignorant of the relevant facts. Guess what, Who Benefits?.

Deficiencies lead to migraine headaches.

Clinical research studies clearly indicate that at least fifty percent of migraine sufferers have lowered magnesium levels during an attack, and that an infusion of this trace mineral does provide rapid and sustained relief. The journal Clinical Neuroscience further reports that regular oral use of this mineral dramatically reduces the severity and frequency of migraine headache attacks.

The trace mineral.

Nutritionally, magnesium is mostly found in whole grains, nuts, dark green vegetables, legumes and unpolished rice. You should at once notice that those very nutritious foods are conspicously absent in today’s typical processed food fare.

By the way, Spirulina and/or Chlorella are excellent natural sources of nutritional magnesium.

How medications lead to migraines.

As a long time reader of this site, you are well aware that medications can prevent your body from absorbing nutrition, while most medications simply deplete nutrition from your body. For example,heart disease and blood pressure medications, steroids, asthma, diabetes and epilepsy medications, and not to forget the diuretic pills deplete magnesium from your body.

The artificial sodas contain certain phosphates that bind with magnesium and prevent it’s absorption, and so do all the artificial sweeteners which are all deadly to your health. Routine smoking and alcohol without moderation function as disrupters of the magnesium levels in your body.

Women at higher risk of migraine headaches.

A huge percentage of migraine sufferers are the women, particulary those of child bearing age because during pregnancy and lactation, the magnesium available in her body flows to the baby first and foremost. If the woman goes on a weght loss diet, then her magnesium levels can get badly depleted unless she wisely supplements with spirulina or chlorella. A give-away symptom of the deficiency is constipation, no wonder many women are very familiar with that state of affairs. So, pay close attention to the following paragraphs.

There is a very specific type of oral magnesium that can address the deficiency and not every type of magnesium can do that. The best accurate test for the deficiency is the urine test and not the usual low serum test. If you already have any kidney problems, then be absolutely sure to first of all consult with a qualified health professional prior to any oral supplementation with magnesium.

The easiest way to regulate your oral magnesium intake is by monitoring your stools, so that you will know that you are adequately restoring your body magnesium levels if your stools are semi-soft with an easy bowel movement. The stool may fall apart in the toilet water, but provided that that water remains clear and not cloudy. On the opposite side, if that water gets cloudy, then that indicates diarrhea, therefore the need to reduce your intake of oral magnesium by a quarter amount. Should it be that you remain constipated, that is an indicator that you are still deficient and an increase in your magnesium intake of a qurter amount is called for.

You may find it of interest to know that the blood vessels in your intestines do control the amount of magnesium that is absorbed, and if too much of it is present, loose stools or diarrhea is the result.( Now you see how milk of magnesia is used as a laxative). The special form of the magnesium that you need as a supplement, is time-released thus avoiding the laxative effect

Magnesium safely and effectively beats migraine headaches naturally in at least seventy percent of cases.
There are instances where magnesium seems not effective, and that is due by and large to the type of magnesium that you are taking, in that it is poorly absorbed. Furthermore it could also be that the content itself is questionable. Therefore, quality is a very significant factor in the realm of supplements.

It is strongly advisable that if you do have a kidney problem, that you consult with a health professional before taking a magnesium supplement.

Best magnesium supplement for your health

The time-release supplement of choice that best chisels away at your migraine headache is known as ” MAG-TAB SR”

As a dietary supplement Mag-Tab SR is indicated for patients with, or at risk of, magnesium deficiency. Hypomagnesemia and/or magnesium deficiency can result from inadequate nutritional intake or absorption, magnesium-depleting drugs or alcoholism. The fiDirections As a dietary supplement, one or two caplets twice a day or as directed by a physician. Four Mag-Tab SR caplets will meet the USRDA range for average adult females and males (300-350 mg daily). Where magnesium-depleting drugs are being used, supplementatioWarnings Patients with renal disease should not take magnesium supplements without the advice and direct supervision of a physician. Side Effects: Excessive dosages of magnesium can cause loose stools or diarrhea. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

Traditional Herbs Beat Migraine Headaches

There is a quartet of traditional herbs rolled into one, from the Ayurvedic healing arts of India that this author will uncover for you in the next few days.

The American Journal Of Clinical Nutrition does concur, as does the clinical study from the University of Pennsylvania, that the culprit at the front and back of the growing Obesity epidemic in North America is not carbohydrates bad as most are, and neither is it refined sugar which is also very bad for your health, but rather an extremely addictive designer chemical by the name of High-fructose corn syrup or HFCS for short.

The genetic manipulation additive

Be attentive to the proven fact that HFCS is not natural nor is it healthy at all, and shockingly there is so much of it routinely added to almost all processed foods and processed beverages that you do ingest. That wicked practice of HFCS as an additive to the food supply started during the Nixon presidential years, and you do find it even in foods labeled healthy and natural. In the time-interval of two decades 1970 t0 1990, consumption of this very unhealthy sweetener went up by a shocking 1000 percent, such that as you read this, the average North american unknowingly consumes a minimum of fifty-seven pounds of it per year.

Of course you are correct that this product is derived from cornstarch, however it goes through numerous layers of processing and genetic manipulation rendering it unnatural and truly unfit for human consumption. Extensive data compiled by the United States Department of Agriculture directly implicates and shows that high fructose corn syrup is at the bottom of skyrocketing obesity and diabetes.

Mechanism of obesity

In the Journal Of Clinical Endocrinal Metabolism, the exact machanism of how obesity is brought about is explained by the demonstrable fact that this artificial sweetener if you ingest it, dramatically increases the level of a compound called ghrelin, which in turn increases your desire to eat more. Simply put, it deliberately disrupts your body’s natural ability to indicate when you are satisfied and therefore should stop eating, thus leading you to gain weight and ultimately obesity.

Take a look at it from a different angle, namely that this bad sweetener oppositically manipulates levels of the very same compounds and hormones in your body that big-pharma is attempting to influence with the diet-pills. Therefore, instead of causing you a loss of appetite and weight loss, HFCS pulls you in the opposite direction of increased appetite and the inevitable weight gain and ultimately obesity. Reader, you may have sensed that there are in effect “two different hands of the same source”, each pulling you in turn in an opposite direction of the other. Now then, Who Benefits?

The syrup magicians

The corn syrup people are very slick with their smoke and mirrors act, blaming you for lack of exercise and increased colorie consumption as the cause of your weight gain and thus obesity, and then blame you for your inability to lose weight. Then there is another corn syrup wool over your eyes act, that the syrup is good for diabetics because it does not raise insulin levels, and neither does it raise levels of another compound, leptin. Now in slow motion, watch the sleight of hand; do you recall the genetic manipulation in paragraph three above?. You definitely need an increase in both those compounds as need be, because they are the ones responsible for signalling your central nervous system to stop eating, yet HFCS deliberately functions to put a brake on them. It does get worse as the craving you get is for the bad foods that you don’t need. And such foods/beverages have hidden additives in them, Why?

Nature’s Secret To Weight Loss Without Diets

Reader, this post will continue with nature’s secrets to weight loss without diets, without drugs.

Angina is known in medical circles as angina-pectoris, meaning that it is chest pain behind the breastbone, which is also called the sternum.

The immediate cause of that pain is the temporary inadequate blood flow to the heart muscle. If you were to go to a medical doctor with angina, more often than not he/she will push you off to the hospital for a $11,055 angiogram and a $51,307 bypass.

The Immediate Culprit Is Atherosclerosis

Relax reader, angina itself is not a disease but merely a symptom, an early warning signal that indeed something is very badly amiss with your cardiovascular system and something is clogging the arteries that supply blood to your heart muscle. The culprit is obviously atherosclerosis, ultimately arising from your carelessness about what you ingest on a day to day basis, which causes inflammation on the inside of your arterial walls, which then allows atherosclerosis to come about.

Take it as a blessing if you experience angina prior to a heart attack or failure, and do take immediate action to address the underlying causative factors.

It comes as no surprise that the medical approach is of the order of toying about with the symptoms, issuing drugs to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, then onto blood thinners and such as nitroglycerin to dilate your blood vessels, and in the meanwhile the cause is left untouched. Now you have an added problem of dealing with the deadly side-effects of those drugs, yet the cause is still intact. (By the way reader, there is an upcoming post right here at this site on how Senator Kennedy got self into the cancer mess.) It could get worse, as the medical types these days are far too quick to want to rush you to a balloon angioplasty or even bypass surgery in an attempt to improve your blood flow.

The Natural Clinical Answers

On the positive and clinically demonstrably better side of things is a decent alternative physician, who will fill your bag with natural CoQ10, omega-3 oils, hawthorn tea,taurine, selenium and thus and so and correctly so because they are routinely missing in your food. You will then be urged to eat more veggies, add dietary fiber to your food, and a thirty minutes visit to the gym thrice a week which among other things alleviates your stress. Your writer for this post will in addition urge you to nature your emotional-self.

Excellent advice, but are you going to do it or are you doing it? And better said, has the sake of convenience deprived you of your good health?

The Quickest Fix

Did you know that the easiest, quickest and amazingly effortless knock-out punch against angina is a readily available special form of the trace mineral zinc? Very few people know about this. Because it is a natural product that cannot be patented, therefore big-pharma cannot make money from it, thus ignores it and prefers you remain ignorant about it. Indeed reader, you do owe a kind word of thanks to Dr. George Eby who is responsible for the original clinical research that introduced zinc lozenges as a reliever of the common cold.

It was during one of such clinical trials in 1981 that one of his patients, a sixty-five old man, who was having a cold all of a sudden began to literally demand more of what he was taking and insisted to know what it was. Bear in mind that this was a blind clinical study, meaning the patients did not know what exactly they were taking. A mere five days into the clinical trial, this patient was demanding more of what he was taking. It so happens that this participant had suffered angina for over a decade, fifteen years to be exact, and now that angina pain was completely gone for the first time. His blood pressure was now back to normal and heart function normalized. He celebrated by going to a ski trip at Breckenridge in Colorado and weeks later gained employment with a railroad company.

It is very noteworthy that this patient had been taking medications including nitroglycerin for years and getting very little relief from the pain.

From the forum, Trace Substances In Environmental Health, Conference 2nd Proceedings 1967-1968, Dr. George Eby found studies dating as early as 1968, where doctors reported fantastic positive results using zinc therapy in angina patients. In one of the studies, doctors reported very significant improvements in twelve out of sixteen patients using zinc, and six out of these used only zinc therapy without any changes to their lifestyles, be it diet, exercise or even smoking.

The mechanisms of action and function

Dr. Eby explains that a short time-interval of a high dosage of the special form of zinc has a cleansing effect on the arteries, rather than simply increasing blood flow via dilation. Reader, you ought to know that zinc’s antioxidant properties can prevent oxidation of the LDL cholesterol, which is one of the mechanisms of arteriosclerosis or clogging of the arteries. Temporary high doses of zinc also reduce inflammation, another definite contributor to clogging and artery plaque. Inflammation was mentioned at the beginning of this post, if you do recall.

And lastly but not least, there is reason to believe that this special form of zinc acts to release or flushes LDL cholesterol from your cardiovascular tissues thus improving circulation and restoration of your proper cardiac function. Dear reader, have you thus far taken careful note of what this natural, safe, clinically proven and very low cost therapy can do for you?

Dr. Eby ably points out that the proven benefits of using zinc therapy for getting rid of angina and atherosclerosis have been widely discussed in the medical literature since the 1960s. The functional and effective evidence is there for all to see if you care to look. The clinical evidence is available and repeatable that zinc therapy indeed works and works wonders, doing so safely. The ultimate test is of course whether it is profitable for someone to promote zinc therapy and that is precisely where zinc therapy comes up short because it cannot be patented by big-pharma. Now reader, do you see the why of that often repeated mantra at this site, namely, “For lack of knowledge in truth, the people perish”?

Can you imagine how many people are suffering for lack of knowledge about this special zinc therapy? And how many people have thus far perished? Once again, Who Benefits?

Clinical Observations

Dr. George Eby’s clinical observations indicate that for most people 60 mg of the special zinc, three times a day is what is necessary. The high dosage as for that 65 year old participant in the clinical trials is only for individuals at or exceeding 300 Lbs. Please be aware that if high dosages of zinc are taken over an extended period, that depletes the trace mineral copper from your body, therefore you would need to supplement accordingly and in that instance, it is advisable that you first consult a health professional.

Most people soon experience angina completely disappearing within 4 to six days and may not need to take zinc for a full fourteen days. Another observation is that not only did the patients angina disappear, but so did their greyish skin tone. Furthermore, Eby also observed a case where a participant’s chronic severe case of Raynaud’s Syndrome also vanished within a week of using 180 mg daily of zinc therapy.

This Nutritional Zinc Therapy Knocks Out Angina.

Cardiovascular Research’s Zinc Picolinate 60Caps

Eby feels very strongly that the underlying problems that led to angina need to be corrected, meaning stay away from junk foods and the artificial beverages, the artificial sweeteners, refined carbohydrates, cut back on smoking. You will also need to address the vitamin/mineral deficiency of your body. For instance, many of the health problems that can be corrected via the use of zinc , stem from deficiencies of that mineral caused by the consumption of refined flour which tends to deplete minerals from your body.
