BBQ's. Good For You?

“If your summer plans include a backyard barbeque, you could get burned – and not just by the sun. You probably know that grilling produces cancer-causing heterocyclic amines (HCAs), but did you know that foods cooked at high temperatures are loaded with harmful chemicals called advanced glycation end products (AGEs)?

…AGEs form when proteins react with sugars during cooking, and the higher the temperature and the longer the cooking time, the greater the number of AGEs. AGEs accelerate the aging process by interfering with cell function. And it doesn’t take years to see the damage. A study of diabetics found that eating a diet high in AGEs for six weeks increased blood levels of inflammatory compounds linked to cardiovascular disease and diabetic complications by 28 percent and raised harmful LDL cholesterol by 32 percent.

Following a low-AGE diet for six weeks reduced inflammatory markers by 40 percent and LDL cholesterol by 33 percent. Similar trends were seen for blood pressure and blood sugar levels. To protect yourself from AGE-related damage, prepare foods by steaming, boiling, poaching, and lightly sautéing rather than broiling, microwaving, and deep frying. And see Drwhitaker.com for marinades that will reduce HCAs and add a safe sizzle to your backyard barbecue.” (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2002; 99:15596-601)

A Couple Of Things I Want To Share In My Quest For Healing

When I first learned about aromatherapy in early 1997, although I had heard a small amount, I thought it was just for smell. As many people no doubt still do. I was sent a cassette tape in the mail, which I may or may not have asked for. But since it was on healing, I listened to it anyway. I put it into the tape player in my car and listened to it on the way to my job(I don't work for a living, I play all day and get paid for it). I was so taken by what I heard, about therapeutic quality aromatherapy, that I had to try it. So I ordered some.

To make a long story very short, I became so impressed by the results I achieved, that I started recommending those same oils, which were considered the absolute best in the world, to friends. Those friends also found that the oils helped them in their quest for health and healing. And all without adverse side effects, and much of the time, results happened much faster than any drug could ever accomplish. Those oils are at this site, of which I lease.

As my story progressed, I came across another very intriguing method of healing. And to a small degree, I reference this in my book, Make Diabetes Vanish. That method of healing is in getting rid of blocked emotions, which in turn can help us regain our health.

Bear in mind, this information is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure anything(the FDA requires I say that). However, what I found was that the Emotion Code System works even better than the Aromatic methodology. I will always use both of those systems, because I believe both are important. And neither have adverse side effects.

I invite you to check out The Emotion Code, by Dr Bradley Nelson. I was astonished at how fast this helped me. You may be also. If I had to rate these two methods on a scale of 1-10, both would be off the charts. Each has its advantages over the other of course.
