**Compounds in olive oil suppress genes that promote inflammation.
**Watching TV for four or more hours a day is associated with an 80% increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease.”
~Dr. Julian Whitaker’s Health & Healing, June 2010
“Just a decade ago, you’d have been hard pressed to find coconut oil in your health food store. Now it sits alongside favorites like extra-virgin olive oil. So what happened? In the 1980s, consumers were warned of the evils of fats, especially saturated animal fats and tropical oils. Today, fats are no longer demonized.
We also know that most of the older, negative research on coconut oil used partially hydrogenated blends that contained trans fatty acids. And of course, trans fatty acids are never a healthy option. Unprocessed virgin coconut oil, on the other hand, consists mostly of lauric acid, a medium-chain triglyceride that confers several health benefits. It does not, I repeat, does not raise cholesterol, clog arteries, or pose any other cardiovascular risk. Studies suggest that it enhances immune function and, when used in therapeutic doses, may improve symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.
Coconut oil lends a unique flavor to sautéed foods, and it’s an excellent substitute for butter or margarine in baking. Bon appétit!”
~Dr. Julian Whitaker’s Health & Healing, May 2011
I personally use coconut and olive oils, with coconut being the oil of choice for higher heat applications. It holds up better under high heat than olive does. Both these oils have huge health benefits, given of course, they are clean oils to begin with.
We know that olive is beneficial in candida applicatiions, as is coconut. Coconut also is beneficial in helping with weight loss, as first discovered by ranchers who were attempting to fatten cattle, only to find out with dismay when they fed their cattle coconut oil, that they became very lean.

Your Diet Coke Is Killing You!
I have copied an article by Shafin de Zane, to post here, because this content is needed in as many places as possible. I fully endorse everything he says here.
For years I would drink a diet cola, in excess of 2 cases per week. I knew this stuff was not good for me, but I was addicted to it. Then, I found out, on August 12th, 1999, WHY aspartame was in all these products. It was at that moment, while on the highway, I dumped my can of the cola out the window, never to touch any product with this toxic waste in it again. Notice I said "cola", rather than disclose which one it was. After all, does it really matter? We vote with our dollars. Read the labels! Stop supplying these companies with your dollars, and they will have to make a choice. A choice to get the consumer back. Let them know you don't want the toxic waste put into your food and drink products ever again. Please.....
Please read this story with an open mind.
Hello Folks,
I am here once again with lots of uplifting good news! Your diet coke is killing you!
You heard that right. If you are drinking any kind of diet cola or drink, or consuming any sugar free gum, or any sugar substitute like Equal, Nutrasweet or Spoonful, I got news for you.
This article can save you or your loved ones from serious illnesses like brain tumors, leukemia, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, epilepsy, birth defects, chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson's and many more! So I suggest you start paying attention and share it with as many people as you can.
Ok, here is the background:
The substance that is used to sweeten your diet drink and sugar free foods (including Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, Kool Aid, Listerine Strips, different sugar free gums etc) is called Aspartame. Aspartame is also the technical name for brand names like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful and other sugar alternatives. Aspartame was discovered by accident in 1965 by a chemist of G.D Searle Company. G.D Searle tried to get approval from the FDA in United States in 1974 but failed due to objections from a neuroscience researcher named Dr John Olney and a consumer attorney named James Turner. For the time being, the FDA put the approval on hold to carry out further investigation. However, aspartame was allowed on 1981 for dry goods and 1983 for carbonated beverages.
Aspartame is, by far, the most dangerous substance on the market that is added to foods. It is responsible for headaches/migraines, heart palpitations, fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision problems, breathing difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, seizures, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain, depression, vertigo, memory loss, and joint pain.
According to recent studies it is also responsible for triggering or worsening brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, birth defects, epilepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, mental retardation, and diabetes.
So why was aspartame approved by the FDA? Well, for many years FDA not only refused to approve it, but took G. D. Searle to court indicting them under Title 18, Section 1001 for "their willful and knowing failure to make reports to the FDA required... and for concealing material facts and making false statements in reports of animal studies conducted to establish the safety of aspartame."
Why? Because in 1969, Searle conducted a study with Dr Harry Waisman on the effects of aspartame on primates. Seven baby monkeys were given Aspartame in milk. One died after 300 days; five others had grand mal seizures. Searle eliminated these findings when they submitted this study to the FDA!
So that's pretty huge right? And Searle should have been stopped from producing this dangerous chemical forever right? Unfortunately there was a famous man in this story who had very high stakes in Aspartame.
The CEO of G D Searle at the time was Donald Rumsfeld (retired defense secretary for the Bush administration who de facto led the Iraq war)! Mr Rumsfeld said he would ensure that aspartame gets approved even though the FDA said no. He was also on President Reagan's transition team at the time.
The story of how Rumsfeld accomplished this was told by the attorney James Turner in a documentary on aspartame called "Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World".
And here are some videos where you can see Mr Turner narrate the story of how greed kills millions of people for years to come!
http://www.redefineyourreality.com/aspartame-poisoning.htm
In 1985, the G.D Searle Company was bought over by Monsanto. The first thing Monsanto did was make the Searle Pharmaceuticals and NutraSweet Company separate subsidiaries.
Now Monsanto is also one of the world's biggest companies that produce genetically modified foods and other chemicals that go into foods and food production. Monsanto is also known for producing pesticides.
Now we are talking about a multi billion dollar industry called the diet drink industry. Just like CFC (which almost destroyed the earths climate because of its long term destructive properties yet was popularized for more than 40 years as the magic chemical that makes money yet is environment friendly, until we had the Ozone Hole) and Trans-fats (that clog your arteries and makes you obese and responsible for numerous other diseases yet millions of people around the world are eating KFC), Aspartame also is very preciously protected because its HIGHLY PROFITABLE!
In 1992 the Flying Safety Magazine published articles about the dangers of Aspartame and mentioned that some people could be immediately affected by Aspartame with as small doses as a chewing gum. And here is the most interesting piece of information:
Major airline pilots are not allowed drink or consume Aspartame containing goods! You know why? Because it increases the risk of headaches, seizures, heart palpitations, depression, slurred speech, loss of memory, loss of sensation in lower legs, loss of equilibrium, vertigo, anxiety attacks, chronic fatigue, vision loss, etc. How nice is that? Now you can stop worrying because even if you might be killing yourself with Aspartame poisoning, you should be happy knowing that at least you are going to reach your destination in one piece.
Now I know, in your mind you might be thinking well, diet drinks at least keep your weight in check! Right? Well, does it really?
Aspartame has actually been known to contribute to weight problem and obesity even though it is used in diet drinks. Of course it doesn't cause over weight issues the same way that sugar does, but it causes obesity by creating some very harmful toxic materials in the body. It also makes you crave carbohydrates which makes you gain weight. These toxins are often stored by the body in fat particularly on the hips and thighs. Not surprising that millions of overweight people around the world are drinking diet Coke, Pepsi and other drinks for years and still not loosing any weight!
In the famous book Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills, Russell Blaylock, a neurosurgeon, says aspartame may trigger clinical diabetes! He says that excitotoxins such as NutraSweet literally stimulate neurons to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees. "What really concerns me about aspartame," he says, "is its association with brain tumors as well as pancreatic, uterine and ovarian tumors. ... and that so many develop an Alzheimers-like syndrome with prolonged exposure."
Dr Blaylock also commented: "The new study released in the European Journal of oncology by Morando Soffritti and co-workers should terrify mothers and all those consuming aspartame sweetened products..."
"This study confirmed the previous study by Dr. Trocho and co-workers, which also found the formaldehyde breakdown product of aspartame to be damaging to cellular DNA and that this damage was accumulative. The type of damage was a duplicate of that associated with cancers. Along with this most recent study, this means that drinking a single diet cola sweetened with aspartame every day could increase one's risk of developing a lymphoma or leukemia."
Unfortunately, even as I write this today, millions of people around the world are sipping on their "sugar free" and "zero calorie" poison. Every year millions of dollars are spent on marketing and advertising diet drinks with slim and petite women in on the billboards and TV. Little do the ignorant consumers realize that they are paying with their health, their children's health, and their grandchildren's health everyday to make people like Rumsfeld and companies like Searle and NutraSweet richer and richer.
On the other hand people like me, Dr Betty Martini (who is the world leader in exposing the ill effects of chemical sweeteners) and hundreds of others are trying their best to reach as many people as possible around the world. But we are up against billions of dollars worth combined advertising and marketing budget of the diet drink companies, processed food companies etc.
How much chance do we have to break through the noise of these mega budget campaigns? I don't know. But I would like to believe that we are making a difference... That you would read this letter today and never touch any aspartame related product ever again. That you would take the initiative to tell as many people as you can in person, on the phone, via email, in the next office meeting or whatever else you can think of. If you do that, we take a step forward and we shall win. If you don't, then all of this effort is worthless.
Think about it.
If you would like to help the movement and help thousands, if not millions of people around the planet, read on and follow the 3 steps given here to help the world today.
Step 1: Forward this email to at least 5 of your friends, family or loved ones.
Step 2: Let me know that you have forwarded it at bittertruth@aweber.com Just send me just an empty email. Don't write anything as it is an auto responder. If you have questions or comments follow the email link below.
Step 3: As a thank you gift I'll send you two motivational ebooks for free. One on a true story of how to bounce back at life when you got nothing more to lose and the other an excellent 49 page special report on motivation. This applies to all readers of this email.

I wish you and your loved ones a happy, healthy, poison free day.

The Art Of Aromatherapy
You've heard others talk about aromatherapy, but do you really know what it is? Aromatherapy should only be used in it's pure state, not loaded with chemicals as most of the essential oils on the market seem to be. For health use, it should only be therapeutic quality, of which there are extremely few companies on this planet with this quality.
Aromatherapy is referenced as the "life blood" of the plant. It is, for all practical purposes for the plant, the same as human blood is for us. Essential oils, when distilled or pressed, and most are distilled, can be up to 200 times more potent than the plant or fruit itself.
If you thought lemon juice was powerful, imagine then, what lemon oil is. If you thought cinnamon was a potent spice, imagine what cinnamon bark oil is. Cinnamon is one of three different oils that I know of that has been tested at various universities to be able to kill all viruses.
Caution must be used with aromatherapies, due to making sure it is not chemical laden, and that you do not use "hot" oils on sensitive skin without proper dilution. Dilution does not mean using water. Water only hasten absorption. To dilute, you must use another oil, and vegetable oils are the oils of choice for this. Oregano oil for instance, can burn if used on sensitive skin, unless diluted. The bottom of the feet is generally applied neat(undilited) with this application being pain free.
Oregano is another oil known to kill all viruses. Oregano is also clinically shown to be considerably more able to kill E-Coli than any drug. Both Cinnamon Bark oil and Oregano oil are known to be anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and much more.
Peppermint oil is used to relieve inflammation, itching, and to cool the body. Just a drop or two in a glass of water(make sure this is clean water; no chlorine or fluoride), and a patient with MS will benefit due to a slight body temperature drop.
Lemon oil is used to increase micro circulation, remove grease, increase the immune function of the body, help eyesight, increase the PH of the blood, increase the digestive function, and much more.
Lavender oil is quite probably the best burn remedy ever known. Considerably better than the Aloe Vera plant, and does not leave a sticky residue. Lavender oil(not Lavendin) is considered a universal oil, meaning it works where the body has a need. Have breast cancer? Try rubbing truly therapeutic lavender oil on the breasts. Make sure this is true lavender, and truly therapeutic, or you may do more harm than good. Lavender oil is clinically shown to have all the properties to reverse breast cancers. And while not all cancers will necessarily respond in the same manner, it is a safe bet it will benefit the patient regardless.
Frankincense oil has been in recorded use for well over 4,000 years, for issues such as colds, to religious ceremonies. It is one of many oils with a constituent known as "sesquiterpines", which is known to cross the blood/brain barrier. The AMA stated in 1995 that if they had a way to cross the blood/brain barrier, they could effectively treat Lou Gehrigs, Parkinsons, and Alzheimers. We have it, in truly therapeutic aromatherapy.
Yarrow oil is valuable help in enlarged prostates. It is known to reduce enlarged prostates, help with urinary tract infections, give us a sense of balance and harmony to the body.
When I say these oils have been used for these things, this is given as historical reference only; I am in no way prescribing. The FDA only allows drugs to be prescribed, not anything that is good for you. Wouldn't want to get on their bad side..... But then, this author doesn't see their good side anyway, if there really is one.
I use all these referenced oils and more, and buy from the only company in the world that is independently certified therapeutic quality. And that site is this one.
These are just some of many oils I keep on hand, and use very regularly. I have specific protocols using specific oils for specific conditions, such as cancers, herpes, colds/flu, etc. I know you see the TV commercials that state there is no cure for things like herpes. I am here to guarantee you there is. And I can easily prove it. We do not have a health care system in the U.S.A. Only a sick care system. And a highly lucrative one at that.
This system will never change until the people, with enough of a massive force, tell the FDA and the AMA, and the drug cartel, that they are done being used as pawns to create more disease, to be used as pigs for profit. You can do this as a start, by being very selective on the foods you buy. These entities, along with the U.S. government, do not now, nor have they had for decades, your health in their best interest. Only the profit to be gained by you being sick with disease. Why do you think there are over 22,000 drugs currently in the marketplace? And for what? Do we have this many health problems? We'd have a whole lot less health problems if the food supply was left untainted by genetic experimentation along with pesticides and herbicides, and actually had some nutrients in it by the time it reached your plate, and if the toxic waste found in all drugs didn't enter our bodies and homes.
On Bayer's website, they show in 2008, their company alone generated 400,000 metric tons of hazardous waste. And there are 77 listed drug companies. Bayer is not the largest by any means. Do we really want all this hazardous material floating around in our air, landfills and soil, and our food and water? I sure don't. Check out those figures here.
In buying organic and certified organically grown foods, you send a message that the genetically modified foods, the chemicals dumped on our food supply, the stripping of vitamins and minerals from our foods, will no longer be tolerated. Will you do this? I have. I am certainly not the only one. A journey always starts with the first step. Will you continue this journey with me and others who are serious about the health of the people and the planet? I sure hope so. Otherwise, what I am doing here is a waste of time. I don't wish to waste my time.
The following is text I copied and pasted from this site, Kaiser.edu.org.
with so many people relying on prescriptions, the cost implications loom large for the American public, health insurers, and government payers. Furthermore, the drug industry’s profits margins have raised considerable attention. Pharmaceutical manufacturing was the most profitable industry in the U.S. from 1995 to 2002, and in 2007 it ranked third with profits after taxes of about 16 percent. [5]
This should concern everyone. It may no effect whatsoever on those who care not about their health. Whether this concerns you or not, you may want to check out what Forbes Magazine says about the cost of drugs. This information is potentially more than just mind boggling.
The unlikely benefit of any of these drugs is superceded by the non-hazardous approach of natural therapies, which are always better for the person they are being used on, or in. Natural may not work as quickly, but this is the way things are supposed to be. You work on eliminating the cause of the problem, not adding toxins to hide the symptom.
It is not possible for a disease to go away if you do not address the problem with something that does not hurt the body. Common sense will tell you this. Yet all pharmaceutical drugs are loaded with chemicals. Putting these in, or on the body, is little different than putting cotton candy into your lawnmower's gas tank, and expecting it to be able to cut you lawn like it always used to. Not going to happen. At best, it will sputter, run slow, then quit altogether. The human body is a remarkable machine, far better engineered than any motor on this planet, and is able to overcome a huge amount of problems. But more problems is not better. And most people in the U.S. and Canada, live life by adding more and more of these problems into their daily lives.

Yarrow oil is valuable help in enlarged prostates. It is known to reduce enlarged prostates, help with urinary tract infections, give us a sense of balance and harmony to the body.
When I say these oils have been used for these things, this is given as historical reference only; I am in no way prescribing. The FDA only allows drugs to be prescribed, not anything that is good for you. Wouldn't want to get on their bad side..... But then, this author doesn't see their good side anyway, if there really is one.
I use all these referenced oils and more, and buy from the only company in the world that is independently certified therapeutic quality. And that site is this one.
These are just some of many oils I keep on hand, and use very regularly. I have specific protocols using specific oils for specific conditions, such as cancers, herpes, colds/flu, etc. I know you see the TV commercials that state there is no cure for things like herpes. I am here to guarantee you there is. And I can easily prove it. We do not have a health care system in the U.S.A. Only a sick care system. And a highly lucrative one at that.
This system will never change until the people, with enough of a massive force, tell the FDA and the AMA, and the drug cartel, that they are done being used as pawns to create more disease, to be used as pigs for profit. You can do this as a start, by being very selective on the foods you buy. These entities, along with the U.S. government, do not now, nor have they had for decades, your health in their best interest. Only the profit to be gained by you being sick with disease. Why do you think there are over 22,000 drugs currently in the marketplace? And for what? Do we have this many health problems? We'd have a whole lot less health problems if the food supply was left untainted by genetic experimentation along with pesticides and herbicides, and actually had some nutrients in it by the time it reached your plate, and if the toxic waste found in all drugs didn't enter our bodies and homes.
On Bayer's website, they show in 2008, their company alone generated 400,000 metric tons of hazardous waste. And there are 77 listed drug companies. Bayer is not the largest by any means. Do we really want all this hazardous material floating around in our air, landfills and soil, and our food and water? I sure don't. Check out those figures here.
In buying organic and certified organically grown foods, you send a message that the genetically modified foods, the chemicals dumped on our food supply, the stripping of vitamins and minerals from our foods, will no longer be tolerated. Will you do this? I have. I am certainly not the only one. A journey always starts with the first step. Will you continue this journey with me and others who are serious about the health of the people and the planet? I sure hope so. Otherwise, what I am doing here is a waste of time. I don't wish to waste my time.
The following is text I copied and pasted from this site, Kaiser.edu.org.
with so many people relying on prescriptions, the cost implications loom large for the American public, health insurers, and government payers. Furthermore, the drug industry’s profits margins have raised considerable attention. Pharmaceutical manufacturing was the most profitable industry in the U.S. from 1995 to 2002, and in 2007 it ranked third with profits after taxes of about 16 percent. [5]
This should concern everyone. It may no effect whatsoever on those who care not about their health. Whether this concerns you or not, you may want to check out what Forbes Magazine says about the cost of drugs. This information is potentially more than just mind boggling.
The unlikely benefit of any of these drugs is superceded by the non-hazardous approach of natural therapies, which are always better for the person they are being used on, or in. Natural may not work as quickly, but this is the way things are supposed to be. You work on eliminating the cause of the problem, not adding toxins to hide the symptom.
It is not possible for a disease to go away if you do not address the problem with something that does not hurt the body. Common sense will tell you this. Yet all pharmaceutical drugs are loaded with chemicals. Putting these in, or on the body, is little different than putting cotton candy into your lawnmower's gas tank, and expecting it to be able to cut you lawn like it always used to. Not going to happen. At best, it will sputter, run slow, then quit altogether. The human body is a remarkable machine, far better engineered than any motor on this planet, and is able to overcome a huge amount of problems. But more problems is not better. And most people in the U.S. and Canada, live life by adding more and more of these problems into their daily lives.

The Herb Turmeric
This Potent Spice Taken as Little as Once a Week Can Fight Dementia
Curry spice, turmeric, curcumin. New research shows that eating curry once or twice a week could help prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. The key reason is curcumin, a component of the spice turmeric.
Curcumin prevents the spread of amyloid protein plaques, which are thought to cause dementia. Amyloid plaques, along with tangles of nerve fibers, contribute to the degradation of the wiring in brain cells.
There is evidence that people who eat a curry meal two or three times a week have a lower risk of dementia. Researchers are currently testing the impact of higher doses, such as the equivalent of going on a curry spree for a week, to see if they can maximize the effect.

Dr. Mercola's Comments( http://www.mercola.com )
I know many outstanding clinicians and health experts and it is amazing how the vast majority of them are in complete agreement that the active ingredient of turmeric, curcumin, the pigment that gives spicy turmeric its yellow-orange color, may be one of the most useful spices for health out there.
For years now turmeric, with its active ingredient curcumin, has shown powerful benefits to your brain health. One of the ways that it works, similar to vitamin D, is modulating large numbers of your genes.
The potential healing power of this spice, which is an important part of Eastern cultural traditions including traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, perhaps first came about when it was noticed that the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease among older adults in India is more than four times less than the rate in the United States.
Why such a significant difference?
Some researchers believe the answer for this drastic disparity in Alzheimer's patients is a direct result of curcumin.
The researchers in this most recent study said curcumin appears to prevent the spread of amyloid protein plaques, which are thought to cause dementia in your brain.
In 2004, meanwhile, a study involving genetically engineered mice suggested that curcumin could inhibit the accumulation of destructive beta amyloids -- a component of the neurofibrillary tangles and plaques attributed to Alzheimer's disease -- in the brains of Alzheimer's patients, as well as break up existing plaques.
Based on the findings, researchers determined:
• Curcumin is more effective in inhibiting the formation of the protein fragments than many other potential Alzheimer's treatments
• The low molecular weight and polar structure of curcumin allows it to penetrate the blood-brain barrier effectively and bind to beta amyloid
• Alzheimer's symptoms caused by inflammation and oxidation are eased by curcumin's powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties
It seems, too, that even eating curry just a couple of times a year may offer some benefit. In one study that tested the brain power of more than 1,000 Asian people, those who ate curry even just once every six months had better results than those who said they "never or rarely" ate it!
Further, UCLA researchers tested the effect of curcumin on isolated cells called macrophages (part of your body's immune system that eliminates waste products like the disease-causing amyloid beta) in blood samples taken from a half-dozen Alzheimer's patients for a day.
The blood samples from three Alzheimer's patients improved dramatically after being treated with curcumin, improving the digestion of the amyloid beta cells by the macrophages, present from birth in your body's innate immune system.
One important fact: Blood samples from younger patients responded better to curcumin, meaning the earlier Alzheimer's is recognized, the better the curry chemical appears to work.
“Holy Powder’s” Benefits Reach Far Beyond Your Brain
People in India refer to turmeric as “holy powder” because it has such a broad range of health effects. In fact, curcumin has been shown to influence more than 700 genes, with benefits that include:
• Strengthening and improving your digestion
• Supporting healthy liver function and detoxification
• Purifying your blood
• Fighting cancer and arthritis
• Anti-inflammatory properties
Further, evidence suggests turmeric may play a beneficial role in the following diseases:
• Cystic fibrosis
• Type 2 diabetes
• Crohn’s disease
• Psoriasis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Cataracts
• Gallstones
• Muscle regeneration
• Inflammatory bowel disease
To take advantage of some of these benefits you can absolutely use turmeric in your cooking, and in case you haven’t tried it, it has a warm, peppery flavor. However, be sure to choose a pure turmeric powder rather than a curry powder, as at least one study has found curry powders tend to contain very little curcumin compared to turmeric powder.
Be sure to listen to your body as always. If you love curry then feel free to indulge in it often. But if turmeric is a spice you do not enjoy it may be a sign that it’s not right for your body. If you are not one who enjoys the flavor of curry, you can also get the benefits of turmeric by taking it in a high-quality, organic supplement form.
Ten Important Ways to Avoid the Coming Alzheimer’s Epidemic
By 2010 there will be 500,000 new cases of Alzheimer’s disease diagnosed each year, so NOW is the time to start taking action. Fortunately, your lifestyle can make a major difference in your risk of this disease. The tips that follow will bolster your brain health and keep your mind in top working order even as you get older.
1. Optimize your vitamin D levels through safe sun exposure, a safe tanning bed and/or vitamin D supplements.
2. Eat a nutritious diet with plenty of vegetables based on your nutritional type, and pay special attention to avoiding sugar.
3. Eat plenty of high-quality, animal-based omega-3 fats in the form of krill oil. Avoid most fish (high in omega-3, but often contaminated with mercury).
4. Avoid and remove mercury from your body. Dental amalgam fillings are one of the major sources of mercury, however you should be healthy prior to having them removed. Once you have adjusted to following the diet described in Take Control of Your Health, you can follow the mercury detox protocol and then find a qualified biological dentist to have your amalgams removed.
(Be sure to only use a high-quality biologically trained dentist who is familiar with the removal of amalgam fillings or your health could get ruined.)
5. Avoid aluminum, such as in antiperspirants, cookware, etc.
6. Exercise for three to five hours per week. According to one study, the odds of developing Alzheimer's were nearly quadrupled in people who were less active during their leisure time, between the ages of 20 and 60, compared with their peers.
7. Avoid flu vaccinations as they contain both mercury and aluminum!
8. Wild blueberries, which have high anthocyanin and antioxidant content, are known to guard against Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases.
9. Challenge your mind daily. Mental stimulation, such as traveling, learning to play an instrument or doing crossword puzzles, is associated with a decreased risk of Alzheimer's. Researchers suspect that mental challenge helps to build up your brain, making it less susceptible to the lesions associated with Alzheimer's disease.
10. Avoid fluoride, which is another powerful neurotoxin. The most common sources would be in your water and toothpaste. But it is also a part of some antibiotics (like Cipro), soy protein, and pesticides, so seek to have as much of your food organically grown as possible.

Can we trust the drug companies?
I have long stated, although not on this blog, that the drug companies cannot be trusted for any reason. For a small amount of proof on my statements in that respect, read this story. And yes, I verified it, this one is just one link out of scores of stories from several countries reported.
Here is another link which shows you just one source of verification.
Many health professionals including medical doctors have stated in the last several years that taking the flu shot every year for 8 years, as opposed to having it just once or twice in that time frame, increases your risk of Alzheimers 10 fold.
Here is a link showing you how to avoid vaccinations by claiming exemptions and how to do them.
You may want to read this story as well on the hazards of vaccines.
This is just part of what I do to stay healthy. Use therapeutic quality aromatherapy. It is incredibly powerful in many ways. Some are known to kill all viruses. Some kill all harmful bacteria. Some kill fungus. Some stimulate the immune system. Some accelerate healing of tissue. Some greatly help depression. Some help vision, others help burns, and some help increase your memory.
