Climate, Seasons and Food Choices

If you can, you should always choose food grown in the same climatic region and mainly food that has been traditionally available during the present season. Next best choice is food grown in the neighbor climatic region, or food grown during the previous season. Climate consideration and season considerations are especially important when we are talking about fruits, nuts and vegetable. You don't have to consider climate and season when it comes to fish, sea food, eggs, meat, milk products, spices, oils ...
Some fruits and nuts are naturally available during cold winter. There is nothing wrong in consuming it, even if you would consider it "autumn food".

Food Tolerance/Intolerance Testing - Muscle Response Testing

Muscle response testing is one relatively reliable way to determine what every individual person may or may not tolerate any particular moment. It is also called applied kinesiology, and most often tested muscles are muscles of the arms. It is also called compatibility test. You are tested for compatibility with different foods, medicines or different objects.
You can be tested for different medications, different foods, tooth fillings, clothes, compatibility with certain house, compatibility with certain room, compatibility with certain bed, and just about anything else. You can't test yourself. Testing must be done by an experienced practitioner of muscle response testing + one person who will be a helper.
If person's muscle is weak when a sample of a food item or medication is hold on the stomach, that means that person does not tolerate that particular food or medication that moment.
If you repeat testing for many different foods many times, you can get very reliable lists of foods that you tolerate.
For this test to be reliable ... you must be tested by someone else, and for the best results ... there should be 2 persons performing testing, person A and B.
Person B is choosing foods, and writing down what is your reaction on the food.
Second person, person A is doing muscle testing with samples of food. All samples must be equal by size and weight. The best is to have all samples inside identical glass jars. Jars with samples must be hidden inside a cotton bag, and person A who is doing muscle response testing, as well as you who is being tested, should not know what particular food you are tested for. The only person with that knowledge is person B, the person who is preparing bags and jars ...
When A determines to what degree you are able to tolerate (or not tolerate) the tested sample, A reports results to B, and B writes it down.
There could be 3 different results: Beneficial (+), Neutral (+-), Avoid (-)
If the sample is extremely beneficial for you, B writes down (+)If the sample is neutral, B writes down (+-)If the sample is something that you should avoid, B writes down (-)
In the end, B is holding a list of all foods, and beside each food item that you have been tested for, there is a sign explaining what is your relationship with that food. Once test is finished, you are allowed to see the list.
If this kind of testing is repeated several times, in the end you will have a reliable list of foods that you can tolerate or that you should avoid.
If you are sick, you should emphasize on eating only "beneficial" foods, with some amount of "neutral" foods occasionally.
If you are healthy, you can eat both "beneficial" and "neutral" foods, and occasionally you may taste some of the "avoids".
If you want to get sick, you eat only "Avoids" food.
Beware that our tolerance to foods changes with time ... and it is smart to repeat testing at least once a year.

How can I find out what foods I am able to tolerate?

Elimination - rotation dietThe elimination/rotation diet starts out with one or two foods being allowed at any particular meal. For the first week, wheat and milk are avoided because many people does not tolerate those foods. The easiest is to start with foods that are listed to be beneficial for someone's blood type.

Any of your favorite, commonly eaten foods are also avoided. If any food triggers a reaction, it is replaced with another, until no symptoms are experienced. When all symptoms have cleared, favorite foods are returned to the diet one-at-a-time. Foods that produce symptoms twice are withdrawn for three months. If you are already receiving cortisone therapy when they come for treatment, it is discontinued as soon as possible, because the drug hides symptoms and makes it more difficult to pinpoint offending foods.

"Dr. G. Borok, a general practitioner in South Africa, has had considerable success with intestinal problems using an elimination and rotation diet developed by Dr. Marshall of Norwalk, Connecticut. In more than 5,000 patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), 99.9% have experienced relief of all bowel symptoms.

In cases of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) (IBD), the response rate is between 85% to 90%. Other symptoms, such as those affecting muscles, joints, lungs, and kidneys, as well as emotional symptoms such as depression and anxiety, improve in the 80% to 90% range."

What's really a "Healthy Diet" ?

What's really a "Healthy Diet" ?
It is time to admit that almost all diets explained in hundreds of diet books could actually be dangerous for your health.Why ?Because we humans are not all identical. I will try to introduce you to the term "food tolerance". Not all people tolerate all foods! Because each of us is one and only, unique, unrepeatable, different then anybody else, we can hardly learn about diet just by reading the "old fashion" books listing foods: "this is good food", "this is bad food".
What is Food Intolerance?It is a sensitivity to elements/chemicals found in food. Unlike an allergy, an amount of the food identified may be able to be eaten without producing illness. The amount varies from person to person. During times of stress or hormonal change a person may become more sensitive/intolerant.Intolerance to salicylate, amines, lactose and gluten (celiac disease) are examples of intolerances to natural elements/chemicals. Salicylate is found in most food that grows in or out of the ground. Amines are found in approximately 70% of the same foods as salicylate. They are also found in some meat, fish and cheeses. Gluten or gluten like substances are found mainly in wheat, barley, oats and rye. Lactose is found in milk and some other dairy products.Intolerance to different lectins, surface proteins is most common intolerance. Most often, foods that we do not tolerate, we can not properly digest.There are also many people who are intolerant of introduced chemicals/elements, such as MSG, sulphites (a preservative used in many processed foods, including wine) and other common food additives. MSG and salicylate are found naturally in some food. Extra amounts of MSG and salicylate are introduced into some foods and beauty products to enhance flavor, freshness or fragrance.

Hold the Mercury

Hold the Mercury: "An interesting note on the mercury filling issue: I have talked with other dentists and asked them if they knew the actual contents of the mercury that they had bought from the salesperson. It seems that not all salepersons selling mercury for the purpose of filling teeth are totally honest. There is mercury used in the northern latitudes which has toxins added to it so that it will not freeze in these extreme temperatures (e.g. cadmium and thallium). It seems that these two elements can put people in wheelchairs. This mercury is not as expensive (for the reasons noted) and therefore an unsuspecting dentist may be buying something that he/she was not even aware of. It is interesting to note that in a lawsuit the dentist(s), whether they know about the 'northern' mercury or not, will still be sued. Caveat emptor. "

Mercury Fillings: They're Not Risky: "Mercury Fillings: They're Not Risky
Mercury Vapors Not Easily Absorbed by Body By Jeanie Lerche Davis
WebMD Medical News Reviewed By Brunilda Nazario, MD
on Thursday, December 09, 2004

Dec. 9, 2004 -- Mercury in dental fillings does not cause Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, or other health problems, according to a new review of all current research.

But will this put to rest the concerns many people have?

It's a sensitive issue. Methyl mercury is the type found in fish, and has been found harmful to the brain in large amounts. The EPA advises women to avoid eating mercury-rich fish during pregnancy for that reason.

However, mercury in dental fillings is a different type of chemical compound -- an amalgam or blend of copper, silver, and mercury. Dentists have used this blended metal for more than 150 years. But over the years, concerns about mercury fillings have been raised, writes Meryl Karol, PhD, an epidemiologist with the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health.

Karol chaired the expert panel whose research review was released today. Scientists from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, the Center for Devices and Radiological Health of the FDA, the CDC, and the Public Health Service's chief dental officer, were among those experts.

The Evidence
Only 300 studies published since 1996 had sufficient merit to be included in their report -- studies that analyzed mercury in urine samples as a marker for mercury exposure. Methyl mercury from fish is not found in urine samples, explains Karol.

Large population studies, animal toxicity studies, and studies of effects from various levels of mercury exposure were included. Researchers also looked at whether it wa"

Mercury Thermometer Threat

Mercury Thermometer Threat: "Mercury Thermometer Threat
By Denise Mann
WebMD Medical News

Nov. 22, 2000 -- From as far east as Boston to as far west as San Francisco -- including many cities in between -- efforts to ban mercury fever thermometers due to health concerns are sweeping through U.S. homes and hospitals.
Once upon a time, mercury thermometers were the most common way to check for fever. Mercury thermometers are made of glass and are the size of a straw, with silvery-white liquid mercury inside. Each fever thermometer contains approximately one gram of mercury. Mercury is poisonous and attacks the body's central nervous system. It can also harm the brain, kidneys, and lungs.
To put things in perspective: One gram of mercury per year leaked into a 20-acre lake is enough to raise the levels of mercury in fish high enough to trigger warnings to consumers. Nationwide, mercury thermometers contribute 17 tons of mercury to solid waste each year.
In efforts to cut back on mercury in the environment and food supply, the Boston City Council recently banned the sale of mercury thermometers in the city. Stores will have approximately two months to clear their inventories of the remaining thermometers, and violators will be fined. There's also a ban on the sale of mercury fever thermometers in Duluth, Minn.; Ann Arbor, Mich.; and several cities and counties in California and Wisconsin. In New Hampshire there's even a state law that prohibits the sale of certain mercury-containing products.
'New Hampshire has the right idea,' says Jackie Hunt Christensen, a spokesperson for Health Care Without Harm, a not-for-profit campaign based in Minneapolis that works to eliminate pollution in health care practices. 'We need to pass laws at state and federal levels rather than address the issue piecemeal in cities an"

Thailand plans to be free from drug production

From: cedang
BANGKOK, March 20 (TNA) - Thailand recently renewed its nationwide suppression of narcotics, it is expected to become a nation free from drug production within the next three years, the head of the
government task force said on Monday.

Wan Mohamad Nor Matha, director of the National Centre for Drug Suppression, urged related government agencies to strictly follow the centre's directives to rid Thai society of drugs.

He spoke at a meeting of officials to follow up progress in suppressing drugs in 25 central Thai provinces and the capital city of Bangkok after the government has renewed the fight early this month, which
would last until August, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of His Majesty the King's ascension to the throne.

Wan Mohamad Nor Matha said entertainment venues would be under close watch as they are where drugs were found. He said in the year 2008, there would be no drug production inside the country.

He said special projects would be launched to suppress cross-border drug trafficking among alien workers from neighbouring countries such as Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar, who are employed in Samut Prakan, Samut Songkram and Sa Kaew provinces.

Liver cleanse - Gallbladder cleanse - Liver flush

Liver cleanse - Gallbladder cleanse - Liver flush

All rights reserved.

"Cleansing the liver of gallstones dramatically improves digestion, which is the basis of your whole health. You can expect your allergies to disappear, too, more with each cleanse you do! Incredibly, it also eliminates shoulder, upper arm, and upper back pain. You have more energy and increased sense of well being.

It is the job of the liver to make bile, 1 to 1.5 quarts in a day! The liver is full of tubes (biliary tubing) that deliver the bile to one large tube (the common bile duct). The gallbladder is attached to the common bile duct and acts as a storage reservoir. Eating fat or protein triggers the gallbladder to squeeze itself empty after about twenty minutes, and the stored bile finishes its trip down the common bile duct to the intestine.
For many persons, including children, the biliary tubing is choked with gallstones. Some develop allergies or hives but some have no symptoms. When the gallbladder is scanned or X-rayed nothing is seen. Typically, they are not in the gallbladder. Not only that, most are too small and not calcified, a prerequisite for visibility on an X-ray. There are over half a dozen varieties of gallstones, most of which have cholesterol crystals in them. They can be black, red, white, green or tan colored. The green ones get their color from being coated with bile. Notice in the picture (pg. 545) how many have imbedded unidentified objects. Are they fluke remains? Notice how man are shaped like corks with longitudinal grooves below the tops. We can visualize the blocked bile ducts from such shapes. Other stones are composites- made of many smaller ones- showing that they regrouped in the bile ducts some time after the last cleanse.
At the very center of each stone is found a clump of bacteria, according to scientists, suggesting a dead bit of parasite might have started the stone forming.
As the stones grow and become more numerous the back pressure on the liver causes it to make less bile. Imagine the situation if your garden hose had marbles in it. Much less water would flow, which in turn would decrease the ability of the hose to squirt out the marbles. With gallstones, much less cholesterol leaves the body, and cholesterol levels rise.
Gallstones, being porous, can pick up all the bacteria, cysts, viruses and parasites that are passing through the liver. In this way "nests" of infection are formed, forever supplying the body with fresh bacteria. No stomach infection such as ulcers or intestinal bloating can be cured permanently without removing these gallstones from the liver.
Preparation
You can't clean a liver with living parasites in it. You won't get out many stones, and will feel quite sick. Zap daily the week before, or get through the first three weeks of the parasite killing program before attempting a liver cleanse. If you are on a parasite maintenance program, do a high dose program the week before.
Completing the kidney cleanse before cleansing the liver is also recommended. You want your kidneys, bladder and urinary tract in top working condition so they can efficiently remove any undesirable substances incidentally absorbed from the intestine as the bile is being excreted. Do any dental work first, if possible. Your mouth should be metal free and bacteria free (cavitations are cleaned). A toxic mouth can put a heavy load on the liver, burdening it immediately after cleansing. Eliminate that problem first for best results.

DrEddyClinic.com :: View topic - Günther Enderlein (1872-1968) of Germany

DrEddyClinic.com :: View topic - Günther Enderlein (1872-1968) of Germany: "Günther Enderlein (1872-1968) of Germany is the researcher who will forever be inseparable from pleomorphism, isopathy and homeopathy.

Dr. Enderlein built upon the research of Antoine Béchamp and proved that blood is not sterile, and that a microorganism can appear in various developmental stages and in diverse forms, without the loss of its specific characteristics.

Through intensive research, Dr. Enderlein came to the conclusion that the monomorphistic perspective of disease conditions favored by Dr. Louis Pasteur and others could no longer be maintained, and that a pleomorphic perspective more accurately reflected the disease process.

Dr. Enderlein discovered in 1916 that primitive microorganic forms prepared in a remedy, when combined with a change in the biological terrain (or milieu) of the body, can cause virulent forms to return to their original avirulent condition, bringing healing to the host body.

He found that when the tiniest, mobile living forms of bacteria, which he called “spermits,” exchanged genetic material with higher developmental organisms, the highly developed organisms became suddenly invisible, having been broken down to their primitive, avirulent forms. Using this knowledge, he developed homeopathic and isopathic remedies from fungal cultures. When these living remedies contact virulent microbial masses, the masses are induced to return to their avirulent form, and then leave the body through the natural organs of elimination.

Enderlein devoted his whole life and all of his scientific work to proving this thesis and to developing the homeopathic and isopathic remedies that rose from it.

What is Asthma?

Asthma is a disease of the airways in the lungs. Its symptoms are caused by inflammation, which makes the airways red, swollen, narrower and extra-sensitive to irritants. This leads to recurrent attacks of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and coughing. Mild attacks can settle down without treatment, but treatment usually helps them to resolve more quickly. Appropriate treatment can also reduce the risk of further attacks. If you experience a serious attack you should seek emergency help.

Asthma is a long-term (chronic) disease. Your asthma does not stay the same, but changes over time, and every person with asthma has good and bad days (or longer periods of time).
Asthma is very common. Around one out of every ten people in the Western World develops asthma at some stage in their life.

What is inflammation in the airways?
Inflammation is a reaction to infections and other triggers in the lining of the airways and the underlying tissue. The inflammation makes the airways become red, swollen, narrower and extra-sensitive.

How does inflammation of the airways affect my asthma?
Inflammation of the airways causes asthma symptoms (wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and coughing) by restricting or limiting the airflow to and from the lungs. It does this by causing:
swelling of the airways, which makes them narrower
tightening of the muscles that surround the airways (also called bronchoconstriction), which makes them even narrower
the production of too much mucus, which can ‘plug up’ or block the airways
longer-term damage to the walls of the airways, which prevents them from opening as widely as a normal airway.
When the airways have been inflamed for a long time, they become extra-sensitive. This means that they react faster and more strongly to various triggers, such as allergens, viruses, dust, smoke and stress.

Who gets asthma?
Asthma tends to run in families, which means that you are more likely to develop asthma if someone in your family already has it. Children with eczema or food allergy are more likely than other children to develop asthma.
Allergy to pollen, house dust mites or pets also increases your chance of developing asthma. Exposure to tobacco smoke, air pollution or other inhaled irritants can also cause asthma symptoms in those with an underlying tendency to asthma.

At what age does asthma start?
Asthma can start at any age, although about half of all people with asthma have had their first symptoms by the age of 10, and many children with asthma have had their first asthma attack before the age of 6.

What causes asthma?
The causes of asthma are not fully understood. Asthma is probably usually caused by a mixture of hereditary factors (those you are born with) and environmental factors, but how these factors work together is still largely unknown.
Allergens from house dust mites and pets are the most common causes, but many other allergens, such as pollen and moulds, can cause asthma. Some patients with asthma have no obvious allergies.

Is asthma a chronic disease?
Yes. Asthma is a chronic (long-term) disease that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways. Some degree of inflammation is usually present, even at times when you are unaware of any symptoms.
If your asthma is untreated, you will have repeated attacks of asthma symptoms.
Mild attacks can settle down without treatment, but treatment usually helps them to resolve more quickly. Appropriate treatment can also reduce the risk of further attacks. If you experience a serious attack you should seek emergency help.
Your asthma does not stay the same, but changes over time, and every person with asthma has good and bad days (or longer periods of time). However, if asthma is properly treated, you may enjoy long periods without symptoms or attacks.

Is there a risk that my asthma will get worse with age?
Yes, that risk cannot be disregarded. Poorly treated asthma gets worse with age, and the lungs of people with untreated asthma function less well than those of non-asthmatic individuals. Modern asthma treatments have not been available for long enough for us to be certain whether or not lung function will still deteriorate more rapidly in people with treated asthma as they grow older. However, most asthma doctors think that regular, preventive asthma treatment can prevent your asthma from getting worse and help to preserve your lung function.

Is it worse getting asthma when you are old?
Not necessarily, but asthma is often more severe if it starts at an older age. In addition, an older person with heart disease or other medical problems may have more difficulty in dealing with an asthma attack than a younger person.
What is called ‘asthma’ in elderly people is sometimes actually chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is a collective name for chronic bronchitis and emphysema, two diseases that are almost always caused by smoking. Many of the symptoms of COPD are similar to those of asthma (e.g. breathlessness, wheezing, production of too much mucus, coughing). COPD is generally a more serious disease than asthma, because the changes in the airways are much more difficult to treat, and it usually has a worse outcome. Unfortunately, COPD can cause greater long-term disability and have a greater effect on the heart and other organ systems than asthma.

'In previous studies, we have determined that men who receive androgen deprivation therapy, a frequently used treatment for prostate cancer, suffer from severe drops in bone mass and are at an increased risk for fracture,' said study principal investigator Susan Greenspan, M.D., professor of medicine, University of Pittsburgh and director, Osteoporosis Prevention and Treatment Center, UPMC. 'In an attempt to mitigate these effects, we gave men using this therapy a once-weekly oral agent called alendronate that is commonly used to treat osteoporosis. We found that men who received it had significantly increased bone mass compared to those who did not receive the therapy.'

The study included 112 men with prostate cancer with an average age of 71. After an average of two years androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer, only 9 percent of the men had normal bone mass, while 52 percent had low bone mass and 39 percent developed osteoporosis. To study the effect of alendronate on these men, they were randomized into two groups to receive either alendronate once a week through an orally administered pill or a placebo. At one year follow-up, bone mass in the spine and hip increased significantly in the men treated with alendronate, 4.9 percent and 2.1 pe"

Osteoporosis - Treatment & Prevention - WomensHealthChannel: "Medical Treatment
Treatment combines nutrition, exercise, safety measures, and medications.
Nutrition
Getting adequate amounts of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D in a healthy diet is important to encourage bone growth and maintain health. Vitamin D supplements are used in the treatment of osteoporosis.
Weight-bearing exercise (e.g., walking, jogging, hiking, dancing) has several positive effects, the foremost being an increase in bone density. Exercise also increases strength, coordination, and balance, thereby reducing the risk for falls. Twenty minutes of exercise 3 or 4 times per week is recommended. Women should consult their physicians when beginning an exercise program.
Safety
Measures taken to prevent falls are also part of the treatment plan:
Avoid slippery surfaces
Install hand rails
Keep surfaces smooth and uncluttered
Provide adequate lighting
Use a cane or walker
Wear rubber-soled, flat shoes
Wear eyeglasses
Medications
Estrogen replacement therapy
Alendronate and risedronate
Raloxifine
Calcitonin-salmon
Synthetic parathyroid hormone
Estrogen replacement therapy
Estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) is recommended for women at high risk for osteoporosis or who have osteoporosis. Women who have had a hysterectomy or an oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries) before age 50, have experienced natural menopause and have multiple risk factors for osteoporosis, or have below normal bone mass for their age are good candidates for ERT.
Estrogen reduces osteoclast activity. When taken by postmenopausal women, there is a slower rate of bone loss and increased bone mass in the spine and hip. With 10 or more years of use, a postmenopausal woman's risk"
