For many years, a commonsense link between fast food, obesity, and insulin problems was assumed by many people – and now Britain’s esteemed medical journal The Lancet has published results of the first long-term investigation to establish links between fast food, obesity and the insulin troubles that usually appear as harbingers of diabetes.
'These findings suggest that frequent fast food consumption cannot be part of a healthful diet, despite claims to the contrary by the food industry,’ said senior study author Dr. David Ludwig, director of the obesity program at Children’s Hospital Boston. As they attempted to isolate the effect of fast food on excess weight and insulin resistance, two major risk factors for Type 2 diabetes, researchers assessed the dietary habits of 3,301 black and white adults aged 18 to 30. Participants were asked to provide information about diet, physical activity and other lifestyle factors.
What is it about fast food that makes it so bad for people? ‘The kind of foods that are served in fast food restaurants are generally high-energy density,’ wrote Dr. Aren Astrup in an accompanying editorial. ‘The portion sizes have gone up dramatically and also there are a lot of soft drinks where we know the sugar seems to be more fattening than in solid foods. They also lack a lot of the nutrients that we know have some protective effect against weight gain, such as high, whole-grain food products.’

Living With Disease?
While the civilized medical systems will state there is no cure for much of anything, those of us who know better first hand are here to offer help. A large number of those in the field of alternative therapy have had their own health issues to deal with, which is why so many are so passionate about the alternative field. Because the alternative field should be considered the mainstream field, and the allopathic(drug related) should be considered alternative, if at all.
You can search the internet or any bookstore, and find all sorts of books on health and healing. Many will actually guide you through how to get rid of disease in general, such as Dr Hulda Clarks book, The Cure For All Disease, and others which take you on a journey of showing you how to get rid of a particular disease, as in my book, Make Diabetes Vanish.
And while there are several methods of getting rid of most health problems, we teach what we either know best, or what we feel the public is ready for. Those two are not necessarily the same. My book incorporates both sides of that equation.

How Many Tumors Are You Gaining In Your Body From Foods You Consume?
I listened to an interview between Dr Joseph Mercola, M.D., of Mercola.com and Victoria Inness-Brown. Victoria self-funded a 2-1/2 year study on Aspartame, more commmonly known as Nutrasweet, to verify findings found in clinical trials.
Victoria found that rats did indeed, develop tumors, at a rate of 67%. In other words, 2 out of every 3 rats developed tumors, some larger than golf ball size, by consuming aspartame. Victoria attempted to make the rats diet with aspartame equivelant to what the average human would consume, on a day to day basis. She found on the FDA's website, that women who consume aspartame develop tumors three times more frequently than males do. Which indicates aspartame may have some type of estrogen activity.
In todays food supply in many countries, especially the U.S.A., finding packaged foods without aspartame can be challenging, to say the least. If you would like to listen to that interview you can click this link. The interview is a little over an hour long.
You may not be aware of this, as most people simply have no idea; but the FDA is paid by the drug companies to appove each drug. And get this..... the FDA, as required by U.S. law, is paid to APPROVE each drug, not test it. Which can give very little incentive to actually pay much attention to whether or not the drug is even remotely safe. I haven't seen a drug yet which fits into any kind of 'safe' category. All drugs have adverse side effects. Same for genetically modified food products.
The FDA apparently has done zero testing on anything genetically modified that's in the food supply. And Monsanto right now, is working on having human DNA put into rice. Makes one feel all warm and fuzzy all over, doesn't it, knowing that you may never again find anything in foods, in its natural state; and in the meantime, wondering just what Monsanto has put into the human DNA they are putting into this food? I have zero respect for Monsanto, and do everything possible to avoid anything they have their hands in. Because anthing they have their hands in, is detrimental to your health.
Monsanto is a chemical company. Not a health company. They have no business putting anything into the food supply. After all, how would you like it if I paid off the top members of the FDA, and decided I wanted to put coal tar into your Cream Of Wheat cereal, or rat genes into your infant formula? Monsanto is doing just that, although not necessarily in those particular foods, although it may well be in those foods. But you can bet, if they can find a way to hurt it, they will. Kinda makes one believe they too, are paid off by the drug companies and or/and Congressional members. Genetic foods are supposedly manufactured to help prevent starvation, and yet all world evidence shows they do nothing at all to help the food supply in quantity nor quality. It is simply a ruse.
Monsanto is largely responsible for the FDA raiding with armed agents, natural food co-ops in the U.S.A., and destroying the good foods provided. You see, those co-ops are just too much competition for Monsanto. People buy good foods from co-ops, and Monsanto loses lots of money. Vote with your dollars. Wisely. Avoid Monsanto like the plague it is. Monsanto, and this is my opinion, is far worse than the black plague, AIDS, cancer, and diabetes combined. It is my opinion, because I've done the research. Monsanto is insanely corrupt.
Your best bet to avoid any artificial sweeteners is to do your own cooking. Buy no packaged products without reading the labels, and understanding what those labels are telling you. Unfortunately, it appears either the FDA or Congress, or both, has deemed it unlawful to allow the labeling of genetically modified foods in the U.S.A. The FDA should have no capacity at all to dictate how we eat. Nor should any part of the U.S. dictatorship.
My book I recently published, on causing type ll diabetes to go away, gives in some detail, ways to eat so the body will appreciate you, and show you the appreciation. It's not rocket science, but much of the human race in civilized countries has forgotten that healthy foods are necessary for their health.

Type ll Diabetes
You probably know someone who has the health issue of type ll diabetes. Doctors prescribes meds to help keep it under control. But are meds the answer? In a nutshell, no. The reasons are simple and exact. All pharmaceutical drugs are chemicals, manufactured in a lab. A vast majority have no true FDA testing. The FDA simply reviews the material from the drug manufacturers testing, which may or may not be truthful. And we know many of these drugs for diabetes are known to cause strokes and heart attacks. Just as we know the body handles chemicals about as well as your car will run when you put water in the gas tank and baking soda in the engine oil. So what is a person to do?
Because I have dedicated my life to finding cause and cure of health problems, including the ones I've had, I have written a book on getting rid of type ll diabetes. This is not a book built upon research as much as on hands-on applications, from my thousands of hours of health research, and helping myself and others get rid of health issues. Although there is a lot of research involved in getting to where I felt 100% confident that my book is completely accurate. I have started another book as well, on how I got rid of my severe rheumatoid arthritis. I have been free of arthritis for 22 years at this point. I don't expect that book to be published though, until roughly around august 2011. I will let you know when it is published.
My book is on Amazon, and various other sites, and will be in bookstores in the future. You can check my book out here.

The Benefits Of Magnesium
Getting Restless?
Being restless can be caused by several things, such as anxiety. However, much of it is caused by the lack of a single mineral, magnesium. Magnesium is known as the body's "spark plug", because it activates enzymes and of course, works in conjunction with other minerals and vitamins, do do its job and help others do theirs. A magnesium deficiency is not only common in the modern world, it is more of a major epidemic, with the medical authorities stating they believe approximately 85% of Americans are magnesium deficient. I believe the true amount is closer to 95%.
Magnesium deficiency presents itself in more than one way. One, as suggested above, is not being able to relax, both physically and mentally. Some people are affected more on one side of that coin than the other. Magnesium is required for the body to utilize calcium, and if you drink milk, you must get enough magnesium in your diet, or you are setting yourself up for several issues, including type l diabetes, restless leg syndrome, osteoporosis, and more. I find the powdered version from Peter Gilham, which is called Natural Calm, is by far the best one to use. Simply mix with hot water and sip as it cools. If you get muscle tightness or cramps for no apparently reason, this is most likely the cause, although potassium may be the issue here as well. If you are unable to lay still in bed as you're trying to get some sleep, this is most likely the cause. If you are angry, this may help relax your anger and help you turn it around into a more peaceful attitude. The place where I buy my Natural Calm is here:
Lorien's Herbs and Natural Foods
I would suggest on the powdered version of magnesium, to start off taking approximately a half teaspoon. I find the plain version, not the flavored, is better for my tastes. Keep the magnesium water in the mouth for at least several seconds. If you have muscle cramps, and assuming the cause is a lack of magnesium(this is the more common reason, especially for diabetics), the cramps will disappear quickly. Usually within 5-10 minutes. Taking magnesium in the capsule or tablet will take much longer, usually hours. Don't be confused or mislead by labels on packaged products which show magnesium stearate. This is a chemical, listed on the MSDS sheets, as being a health hazard. This is no way can help your health. Always read your labels. This is in a large amount of packaged products, especially drugs and supplements.

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.
Please spread the word and let more and more people live a life of health, abundance and happiness!
I wish you and your loved ones a happy, healthy, poison free day.

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.

Can You Avoid Diabetes?
For years, advocates of natural health have been hammering away at the message that soda causes diabetes and obesity. The soda industry, meanwhile, has remained in denial mode, mirroring the ridiculous position of the tobacco industry that "nicotine is not addictive." Soda doesn't cause diabetes, the industry claims, and it's perfectly safe to consume in essentially unlimited quantities.
The Corn Refiners Association has joined the denial with its own spin campaign that seeks to convince people High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is totally natural and completely harmless. HFCS is, of course, the primary sweetener used in sodas and soft drinks.
Now comes new research presented at the American Heart Association's Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention annual conference in San Francisco. This new research reveals that over the last decade, soda consumption has conservatively caused:
• 130,000 new cases of diabetes
• 14,000 new cases of heart disease
• 50,000 more "life years" with heart disease over the last decade
"The finding suggests that any kind of policy that reduces consumption might have a dramatic health benefit," said senior study author Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo (associate professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco).
The American Beverage Association, meanwhile, says this study hasn't been published in a peer-reviewed medical journal yet and therefore it doesn't count. Soda consumption doesn't cause diabetes or heart disease, they claim, because "...both heart disease and diabetes are complex conditions with no single cause and no single solution."
It's silly logic, of course: Diabetes obviously has a cause. It's not some spontaneous disease that appears out of nowhere. And when you go looking for the cause, you obviously have to look at dietary factors since diabetes is a disease related to the consumption and metabolism of dietary sugars. Once you do that, sodas immediately raise a red flag because they're liquid sugar in a highly-concentrated form that does not exist naturally in nature.
HFCS doesn't grow on trees, in other words. Nature provides sugars locked into insoluble fibers that slow digestion and lower the effective glycemic index of sugars that are consumed. In nature, sugars are always combined with minerals, too, and many of those minerals help prevent diabetes and heart disease. But High-Fructose Corn Syrup is stripped of virtually all those minerals. It contains no fiber and no healing phytonutrients that you might encounter in plants. As a result, HFCS -- sometimes dubbed "liquid Satan" -- might be called a dietary poison that causes disease while contributing to nutritional deficiencies that accelerate disease.

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.

A Dozen Ways Soda Damages Your Health
Weight gain. Soda is a significant contributor to obesity. Drinking a single can a day translates to more than a pound of weight gain every month.
And diet soda is just as likely to cause weight gain as regular, if not more. It may sound counterintuitive, but drinking diet soft drinks actually will NOT help you lose weight.
Artificial sweeteners induce a whole set of physiologic and hormonal responses that actually make you gain extra pounds. (Not to mention the fact that artificial sweeteners are more dangerous for your health than high fructose corn syrup in many other ways.)
Liver damage. Consumption of too many soft drinks puts you under increased risk for liver cirrhosis similar to the increased risk faced by chronic alcoholics.
Tooth decay. Soda dissolves tooth enamel and is thought to be responsible for doubling or tripling the incidence of tooth decay. Soda's acidity is even worse for teeth than the solid sugar found in candy.
Kidney stones and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Colas of all kinds are well known for their high phosphoric acid content, a substance that changes urine in a way that promotes kidney stone formation. Drinking one quart (less than three 12-ounce cans) of soda per week may increase your risk of developing kidney stones by 15 percent.
Soda consumption may also be associated with kidney damage, according to a recent study in published in the journal PloS One.
Diabetes. Drinking soda stresses your body's ability to process sugar and increases your risk of metabolic syndrome and diabetes. Some scientists now suspect this may explain why the number of Americans with type 2 diabetes has increased by 90 percent in the last 10 years.
Heartburn (acid reflux). Heavy consumption of soda is a strong predictor of heartburn.
Osteoporosis. Soft drinks containing phosphoric acid are definitely linked to osteoporosis (a weakening of your skeletal structure) because they lead to lower calcium levels and higher phosphate levels in your blood. When phosphate levels are high and calcium levels are low, calcium is pulled out of your bones.
Hypertension (high blood pressure). Experts have reasons to believe that overconsumption of soda leads to an increase in blood pressure. It doesn't matter if the soda is regular or diet.
Heart disease. Heavy soda drinkers are more likely to develop risk factors for heart disease. Research shows that drinking more than one soft drink a day is associated with an increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome -- a group of symptoms such as central obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated fasting blood sugar, elevated fasting triglycerides, and low levels of HDL or "good" cholesterol.
Having three or more of the symptoms increases your risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Impaired digestion (gastrointestinal distress). Drinking soda, especially on an empty stomach, can upset the fragile acid-alkaline balance of your stomach and other gastric lining, creating a continuously acidic environment. This prolonged acid environment can lead to inflammation of your stomach and duodenal lining.
Mental health problems. One Norwegian study found a clear association between soft drinks and hyperactivity, and additional links to other mental disorders.
Gout. Another recent study found that men who drink two or more sugary soft drinks a day have an 85 percent higher risk of gout than those who drink less than one a month.
Gout causes painful, swollen joints, usually in your lower limbs, caused when uric acid crystallizes out of your blood into your joints. Fructose is known to inhibit the excretion of uric acid, which may help to explain the study’s findings.
The One Step That Can Radically Improve Your Health
The good news about all these shocking health facts is that taking soda off your shopping list is one of the easiest steps you can take to improve your health and longevity.
Replacing soda and other sugary drinks with clean, pure water may be one of the most important dietary changes you can implement that will have a major impact.
Remember, normalizing your insulin levels is one of the most powerful physical actions you can take to lower your risk of cancer along with all the other diseases and long-term chronic health conditions mentioned above. Fortunately, it is also the variable most easily influenced by making healthy food and beverage choices, along with exercise.
Turbo Tap Your Way to Stopping Soda
Energy psychology tools like meridian tapping techniques can be a profoundly simple and inexpensive tool to use if you are challenged to stop your soda habit.

Diabetes And What You Can Do About It
Diabetes can seem a nightmare for those who have it. Good common sense indicates one with this issue avoid refined sugars. While this may not be an easy task, it is a do-able task.
There are a multitude of herbs which can help the diabetic, including helping the diabetic get off their drugs. Remember, this information is not put forth in an effort to make you believe herbs will cure you. And while the FDA is very corrupt in their role of supposed guardian of our health and welfare and has a real problem with someone saying a natural product can cure; herbs indeed, are unable to cure you.
What the herbs do, is the same as foods do, the same as your thoughts do, the same as therapeutic quality aromatherapy can do, the same as sunlight can do. And this is: Give your body the tools it needs to heal itself.
Eat as high a percentage of raw foods in your diet as possible. You need the enzymes, which are never in cooked or canned foods, and the raw foods limit candida and fungus within the body, plus you will have much more energy than if you live on canned/cooked foods.
An insulin dependent diabetic has a fungal infection within the body. This must be dealt with, or little relief will ever be had. Ways to do this include using Black Cumin, Garlic, Cinnamon, Coriander, Neem, Bitter Melon, Onion, Ginger and more.
Bear in mind, this will take some time. The longer the person has had the diabetes, the longer it will take to get the problem taken care of. Caution must be observed when starting any therapy of this kind, for the body will release large amounts of toxins due to the fungus dying off and parasites also dying off. And yes, parasites always exist in diabetes.
So start off slow, and work your way up when using herbs. Midday sunlight, the only time sunlight is capable of causing vitamin D production in the body, is a very powerful tool in helping type l diabetes. When being in the sun, avoid sunscreen if possible. This is a two-fold reason.
1. Because nearly all sunscreen sold in stores is loaded with chemicals, which cause cancer along with other health problems.
2.The more UV rays you block, the less vitamin D your body can make. And you are very likely lacking in vitamin D, which is a crucial vitamin; or rather hormone, for the body. By definition, vitamin D is a hormone.
With an SPF of 8, you are blocking 95% of the rays that cause vitamin D production in the body. You need that vitamin. Use a natural sunscreen after you have gotten 15-30 minutes of sunlight, not before.

Deficiency of a Vitamin
Biotin, a B vitamin(B8), is not only beneficial, but required in the body. It is water soluble, meaning you will not overdose on it, since the body will eliminate what it cannot use.
Deficiencies of Biotin include:
~Seizures
~Cramps
~Skin Rashes
~Failing eyesight
~Heart problems
~Inability of the body to properly process fats and sugars
~Both diabetes and hypoglycemia
~Hair Loss
~Lack of muscle coordination
~Other skin conditions
There are many more health issues directly related to a biotin deficiency. Just do a Google search find more info. Ideally, use this, as with any vitamin or mineral, in a synergistic method. In other words, they are best used from whole foods, not so much from supplementation. Always exceptions of course.
Foods that have biotin include nuts and nut butters, eggs, onions, carrots, romaine lettuce, brewers yeast, raspberries, strawberries, and spirulina. Spirulina appears to have if not the highest, one of the highest biotin contents.
Spirulina, like Chlorella, have been used for thousands of years; discovered from the earliest of recorded histories. Both are used by peoples to reverse and negate radiation poisoning, as was noted in Japan and Russia, with the Hiroshima bombing and the Chernobyl disaster.
