Why does Thai Chi work?

2008-08-03T16:43:00.000-07:00

Thai chi is a wonderful exercise that anyone can do but mostly older people above 30 will feel the real benefits from.

We all have heard in the recent years about focus and intention and what you think about, grows on your life. The body does not know who it is, what is going on inside and what it needs.

One simple example to illustrate this is by the way we grow up or our hair grows, humans tend to notice things in chinks or suddenly, this give ideas impacts and makes them stand out in the mind. Therefore it's much easier and more helpful to have different - but valued - perspectives on your body and your life.
Applying this to health we get the need for the body to be told what going on inside it. All too often we notice a tight muscle or a lump or a strange out of place sensation in the body when it's too late.
Thai Chi is a body programming exercise that brings to surface the bodies early warning system for disease and then with awareness of that the conscious AND the subconscious can get to work on halting any minor or major disasters.

The fight against bad bacteria

2008-07-27T05:11:00.001-07:00

Pau d’Arco or Botanical name: Tabebuia species; also known as lapacho.

Possible uses: Fungal infections (Candida) viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections; and cancer.
Origin: West Indies (Native)Central and South America; 100 known species.
Side effects: Unknown.

. .

The tree can grow 125 feet tall and has been well documented by scientists as an excellent hardwood. The wood is believed to contain between 2 and 7 percent of a compound called lapachol; possibly the most active ingredient, beta-lapachone and quercetin.
On microorganisms, lapachol acts as a respiratory poison, interfering with their oxygen and energy production. One theory holds that beta-lapachone inhibits certain enzymes that viruses require to spread and grow. If that’s the case, having more beta-lapachone in our bodies would be an effective way to block viruses, says Debra Gibson, N.D., a naturopathic doctor in Woodbury, Connecticut.

Candida albicans has an enemy, that enemy is pau d’arco. Candida is always present to a small degree in our bodies, but it can reproduce uncontrollably under some circumstances. If your immune system is weak, you have diabetes, or you are pregnant, candida is more likely to take every opportunity to spread. Relief is often found by drinking a tea made with pau d’arco bark, says Kathleen Head, N.D., a naturopathic doctor in Sandpoint, Idaho, and senior editor of Alternative Medicine Review. A supplement will work as well, she adds. "If you’re a woman who has recurring yeast infections, this would be a very good herb to try," she says.

Pau d’arco has many references to its cancer-fighting properties.
Some herbalists and naturopaths use pau d’arco as one of their cancer-fighting phytomedicines.

The active ingredients in pau d’arco seem to be most present in the bark, the part traditionally used by the South American Indians.
Pau d’arco is available as a tincture, in capsules, and as dried bark, from which you can make a tea. You can find lapachol in capsules and tincture. "It’s really quite safe. It would be pretty hard to do yourself harm with it," Dr. Gibson says.
Although some animal studies of long-term, high-dose consumption of lapachol have shown that it may cause —a reduction of red blood cells that can lead to extreme fatigue and other symptoms—Dr. Gibson says that is very unlikely if you take typical medicinal doses.

The Alien inside - Bad Bacteria, bad news

2008-07-26T15:22:00.000-07:00

Bacteria - A second life.

A life which has a mind of it's own and sometimes a frightening amount of control over it's host.

Bad bacteria can tell us what to eat and what to feel and how our body functions - It literally takes over our body - an alien intrusion left undisturbed is given what it wants.

Proteins and fatty acids and amino acids are some of the most important body building blocks in the body and bacteria can mess with the lot.

No wonder the 7 deadly sins are being broken so many times. We can't help it. But you know it's time to fight back, it's time to breed a new strength in our minds and bodies and stand against these intrusions. I don't think anyone could grasp the amount of decisions made NOT by us.

This is why it's so important to get used to doing at least 3 things a day that you don't feel like doing but know you should.

Don't let the bacteria tell us what to eat, take control and feed your body with things that are good. One thing I have noticed about effective people is that they get up, sleep and eat at the right time. It sounds simple but if your honest I think we all know how hard it is.

Thats already quite a few numbers crossed of the list of things you don't want to do but know you should.

Stops Herrion addiction cold turkey! no problem

2008-05-28T08:31:00.000-07:00

Introducing, a peice of medical equipment that stops the cravings of Heroin addicts. I have been surfing a great deal of health related topics myself over the years and understand that there are so many useful drugs, machines, techniques out there! available but not readily available due to lack of SCIENTIFIC proof and evidence of method.

At last Richard and Judy have given some good publicity to a pretty nifty technique called NET; Neuro Electric Therapy. It works by stimulating the brain back into it's original way of working; it's most natural. This by oral and chemical transformations appears to take months or years for the brain to rewire to a specific way of working, but electrically can potentially take just hours.

I really hope this is part of the first wave of medication and health advancements that will be accepted by the mainstream and not resigned to yet another system that lacks scientific credibility through poor marketing and blind stupid harrasment from the general public.

Cayenne can Cure Cancers?

2008-02-03T14:21:00.000-08:00

Uses of Cayenne for some conditions:

Allergies:
Cayenne reduces or even cures severe chronic allergic and nonallergic conditions that make people’s noses run constantly.

Angina:
Herbalist John R. Christopher suggests this formula for making a cayenne tincture:
- Put one ounce of dried capsicum in a glass jar.
- Add one pint of alcohol such as 150 proof.
- Close the jar tightly and shake it four times daily. Keep mixture in the jar for only two weeks and no longer.
- Strain the liquid through a double-layered cheesecloth.
- Begin this process at the start of a full moon (this should be new moon) for greater potency.
- Store in an amber glass bottle. Seal tightly.
- To use, place six drops of the tincture under the tongue twice daily or else dilute the same amount in six ounces of water or juice. Take on an empty stomach or between meals.

Note: if you are taking nitroglycerin for angina, do not discontinue medication or use this remedy without your physician’s permission.

ARTHRITIS
The anti-inflammatory action of cayenne is attributed to the effect of capsaicin, a nervous system-derived chemical (peptide), released in the spinal cord as well as from the peripheral nerve endings.

This neuropeptide has multiple pro-inflammatory properties and is released in greater quantities from pain transmission nerves (the sensory afferent nerve fiber terminals) located in knee and ankle joints, where a great deal of arthritic swelling usually occurs. Excess substance P isn’t good because it breaks down the cartilage cushions in joints, contributes to osteoarthritis. It also serves as a pain neurotransmitter in both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. In other words, overproduction of substance P in your system means you’ll be feeling a great deal of pain.

- Capsaicin inhibits the activity of substance P.

Asthma:
Asthma might be caused by an overproduction of substance P, and that excess receptors for it were in the lungs. A cayenne pepper tincture similar to the one given for angina might help to relieve the belabored breathing common to asthma.

Arteriosclerosis:
Cayenne softens the arteries, dilates the circulatory system, strengthens the heart, and cleans the inner walls of the circulatory system.

Blood clots:
- Cayenne protects against blood clot formation by causing an increase in fibrinolytic (clot-dissolving) activity of the red blood cells.

Bowel problems:
- The neurotransmitter substance P is released from the peripheral neurons (those outside the brain and spinal cord) that transmit pain signals to the brain; this, in turn, helps regulate the response of the immune system to damaged tissue. People with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases have high numbers of receptors for substance P in their intestinal tissue. With too many substance P receptors in the intestinal tract, the immune system is apt to overreact, inducing enough inflammation to trigger the sensory neurons to send more pain signals and release more substance P. This viscous cycle eventually leads to autoimmune bowel disorders like ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.
- Nerve endings that release substance P are also present in the urinary bladder; when any inflammation occurs there, greater amounts of substance P are automatically released, thus exacerbating inflammation.
- Substance P content “was strongly reduced by 80 percent following pretreatment with a high dose of capsaicin” injected beneath the skin. Capsicum’s properties can also substantially reduce the release of substance P in those suffering from various bowel diseases.

Bruises:
- An ointment made by combining one part of cayenne pepper powder with five parts of melted Vaseline. The mixture was thoroughly blended and then allowed to cool until in congealed again. Apply this salve topically to injured skin or muscle tissue once a day for about a week.

Cancer:
- Capsicum can protect the body against some known food and beverage chemicals that can cause cancer and induce cell mutations. (When capsaicin is taken with plant chlorophyll its mutagenic properties are suppressed.)

Common cold and Flu:
- At the onset of symptoms take one teaspoon of cayenne powder in a glass of warm water with the juice of one lemon and a teaspoon of honey; stir thoroughly and drink slowly. The cayenne helps to flush out the bacteria and viruses responsible for the cold or flu by causing eyes to water, skin to sweat, nose to run, and lungs to discharge. This rush of fluids from the body carries out the invisible microbes responsible for such infections.

Congestive Heart Failure:
- Cayenne strengthens and relaxes the heart, dilates the circulatory system, and clears accumulated debris. Over the long run, a seriously diseased heart can return to near normal with the regular use of Cayenne pepper.

Diabetes:
- Certain medicinal herbs are known for their strong hypoglycemic actions: garlic and onion, goldenseal and pau d’arco. Another equally potent hypoglycemic agent is cayenne pepper.
+For diabetes mellitus the recommended dose of cayenne is two to four capsules daily with means. The ‘hypoglycemic effect” means that the cayenne lowered blood sugar which is what insulin does because diabetics have high blood sugar. But for those already suffering from low blood sugar, cayenne is best avoided.

Diabetic Neuropathy:
- The topical application of capsaicin cream is quite safe and very effective in the treatment of pain ordinarily observed in patients experiencing diabetic neuropathy and diabetic polyneuropathy.

Duodenal Ulcers:
- When capsaicin was given regularly it increased the flow of protective mucus within the gut, thereby helping to heal duodenal ulcers.

Cholesterol:
- The cholesterol-reducing properties of capsaicin have been studied by various biochemists and reported in the scientific literature. Capsaicin has been shown to help prevent cholesterol associated heart diseases such as arteriosclerosis and its more advanced for of atherosclerosis.

Elevated Triglycerides:
- Medical researchers are also looking at the role of triglycerides in coronary artery disease and finding that these, more than cholesterol itself, may be to blame. (Triglycerides are neutral fats synthesized from carbohydrates for storage in body fat cells. When broken up by enzymatic action, they release free fatty acids in the blood.)

Fatigue:
- For general and chronic fatigue; capsaicin, by itself, can be very hypoglycemic, but when used in combination with equal amounts of ginseng and gotu kola, capsaicin can increase biochemical endurance during periods of emotional and physical stress.

Free Radicals:
- Compounds known as antioxidants effectively check the free-roaming and ravaging behavior of free radicals. Capsorubin, a carotenoid associated with capsaicin in cayenne pepper, functions as an excellent antioxidant that diminishes the potentially harmful actions of the free radicals.

Frostbite, Frozen bits:
- Feed the victim small amounts of powdered cayenne a number to times a day; this will stimulate the heart and blood to the damaged area; the dead tissue will drop away and new tissue will be in its place. This treatment can be painful, but it is effective.

Headaches:
- Nasal sprays containing tiny amounts of capsaicin are used to treat the intense pain of cluster headaches; also capsaicin ointment applied to the temples, the ointment raised the temperature at the temples, which ordinarily experience a heal loss during cluster attacks. (Keep the ointment away from the eyes.)

Head Congestion:
- A useful remedy from the Maya Indians of Belize calls for a warm tea made from cayenne pepper to be used in breaking up congestion in the nose, head and sinuses. Add one eighth teaspoon of cayenne to a cup of hot water.

Heart Arrhythmias:
- Capsaicin reduced ventricular tachycardias and ventricular fibrillations. Capsaicin also dramatically improved blood flow to the heart. Capsaicin seems to function as a natural calcium blocker, analogous to the effect of some prescription heart drugs.

Heart Attack:
- Dr. John R. Christopher used this formula: (1) steep one teaspoon of powdered cayenne in one cup of hot water until it is cool enough to drink; (2) if the patient can breathe normally, prop up the patient and pour the cayenne tea down the person’s throat. Usually within a couple of minutes the heart attack will have ceased. Also, in an emergency, where very quick action is indicated, the alcohol/cayenne tincture described above can be administered by placing a few drops beneath the tongue.

Heart Disease:
- Because of its tonic effect on the heart and circulatory system cayenne pepper is an excellent remedy for all manner of heart disease. In places where cayenne is a frequent part of the diet (Mexico, South East Asia, India, and the state of New Mexico), heart disease rates are lower.

Heartstroke:
- Cayenne pepper, a familiar medicinal and culinary spice with well known heating properties, can produce an opposite reaction. When taken in small amounts, it stimulates circulation and the digestive processes. But, when consumed in large amounts it will cause a cooling effect. This helps to explain why people living in hot tropical climates are apt to eat a lot of cayenne. The cooling sensation is produced in two different ways. In one way the body (especially the face) starts to sweat; the more perspiration that gathers on the skin, the cooler a person will feel. The other way is through the release of endorphins by capsaicin into the bloodstream of people who eat cayenne pepper. These natural opiates in the brain affect the body’s own internal temperature, lowering it a few degrees.

Hemorrhage:
- Utah Herbalist Dr. John R. Christopher was a strong proponent of cayenne pepper, believing it to stop bleeding better than anything else in the plant kingdom.

Herpes Zooster - Chicken Pox - Shingles:
- The herpes family of viruses is divided into a variety of types. The varicella zoster type is responsible for two very distinct clinical disorders, namely primary varicella (chicken pox) and zoster (shingles). This particular kind of herpes virus is capable of affecting nerves and causing organ damage and severe pain that can last for months or even years. Cayenne pepper taken internally or the topical application of any capsaicin cream will help to minimize agonizing pain that can persist during and long after the viral infection is gone.

Hypertension:
- Cayenne lowers blood pressure.

Indigestion:
- In the early-to-middle part of the 19th century there thrived an eclectic system of alternative medicine known as Thomsonian medicine. One of its outstanding features was the limited number of primary herbs repeatedly utilized, although many other secondary herbs were used occasionally. Samuel Thomson, the system’s founder, recommended cayenne pepper the goldenseal root for their excellent healing properties. Of cayenne he said: “I am perfectly convinced that cayenne pepper is the best thing that can be used to produce a natural digestion of the food which will nourish the body, establish perspiration, and restore the health of the patient. I found it to be perfectly safe in all cases, and have never known any bad effects to arise from its use.”
- He frequently used it in cases involving disturbances of the gastrointestinal tract. Capsaicin in the red pepper dramatically increased gastric secretions within the gut but did no actual harm. More specifically, the number of goblet cells (mucus secreting cells) in the duodenum portion of the small intestine increased in the presence of capsaicin.

Infections:
- Anyone at all familiar with the role of vitamin C in the health care process knows that it is the number one nutrient for warding off or treating existing infections in the body. But what isn’t so well known is the part that a species of capsicum played in its discovery. Hungarian biochemist Albert Szent-Gyorgyi had been studying enzymes for years when he identified an active chemical, which he labeled “hexuronic acid.” Hexuronic acid was found to be effective against scurvy and further tests revealed it to be a powerful nutrient, soon the chemical was renamed ascorbic acid. Szent-Gyorgyi found that red pepper contained large amounts of ascorbic acid.

Itching:
- People who suffer from severe itches i.e., pruritis, notalgia, parasthetica, and lichen simplex chronicus experience noticeable improvement when treated topically with any of the capsaicinoid creams.

Lumbago:
- Use cotton or wool which has been impregnated with capsaicin to successfully treat cases of lumbago, neuralgia, or rheumatism. The treated material is applied to the skin and left on for 20 minutes, use as frequently as needed.

Motion Sickness:
- Cayenne pepper is quite effective in dealing with motion sickness. A teaspoonful of cayenne in a tablespoon of olive oil taken internally at the first sign of nausea will help to prevent further symptoms of sea or air sickness. Or one-half teaspoon full each of cayenne and ginger root (chopped very fine or pulverized) in olive oil.

Mouth Sores:
- Oral stomatitis is a very painful condition of mouth sores caused by cancer chemotherapy and radiation treatments. The sores can be overwhelming to the point that some individuals can’t chew food and must, therefore, cease treatment for their cancers. But in a very innovative way, capsaicin was used to treat this serious problem in cancer patients. The capsaicin was administered through candy; cook butterscotch brittle with capsaicin; cancer patients who consumed the candy with delight, reported feeling no more pain afterwards.

Multiple Sclerosis:
- Using cayenne pepper with those diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, IN THE EARLY STAGES ONLY. Taking four capsules of cayenne each day with food for several months, their symptoms subsided to a remarkable degree, but didn’t entirely disappear.

Nerve Inflammation:
- Capsaicin is capable of reducing the sensation of painful inflammation in the sensory nerves and the pain-sensitive nerve terminals. Both topical creams and oral supplementation appear to work equally well to achieve this.

Neuralgia:
- Controlled studies have demonstrated that topically applied capsaicin is a very safe and effective treatment for neuralgia.

Night Blindness:
- Historian Garcilaso de la Vega described what he had heard form someone else in 1609: “I heard a Spaniard from Mexico declare that cayenne pepper was very good for the sight, so he used to eat two roasted peppers as a sort of dessert after every mean.” A number of Mexican Indians have said that regular consumption of cayenne and chile peppers kept their eyesight from failing as they grew older.

Obesity:
- Capsaicin can burn extra calories in a way similar to exercise.

Pain:
- For the past several years a growing body of medical evidence has been gathering; demonstrating capsaicin’s unique ability to stop the sensation of pain within the body. Capsaicin works by desensitizing small-diameter nerve fibers, the ones responsible for pain. But it has no effect on large-diameter nerve fibers.

Peptic/Duodenal Ulcer:
- Capsicum might actually protect against peptic ulcers, a suggestion that is counter intuitive. The capsaicin protects the gastric mucosal membrane against damage from alcohol and aspirin; it does this by stimulating a hormone that increases blood flow and nourishes the gastric mucosal membrane.

Poor Appetite:
- Mixing small amounts of cayenne pepper with various foods, made the foods more appetizing to those who had no real desire to eat.

Psoriasis:
- The prescription cream Zostix, whose mail ingredient is capsaicin, has helped a number of older people suffering form psoriasis and shingles. When the cream was applied topically, it blocked the synthesis and nerve transport of substance P, the chemical largely responsible for the skin pain induced by these skin diseases.

Respiratory Disorders:
- The ancient Maya of the Yucatan Peninsula and the Guatemalan Highlands routinely incorporated cayenne pepper into their materia medica for the treatment of asthma, bronchitis, coughs, colds, sore throats and other respiratory disorders.

Shingles:
- For pain relief apply capsaicinoid cream to the patients shingles-sensitive skin.

Toothache:
- The Irish developed a great remedy for instant relief from excruciating toothache. One level teaspoon of cayenne pepper was combined with one pint of strong Irish whiskey and left to sit for two weeks, being thoroughly shaken every day. The solution was then strained into another bottle and stored until needed in a cool, dark, dry place. About four drops of this pepper extract could be put on a cotton ball and inserted into the mouth onto the infected tooth. Within minutes, the distressing pain disappeared.

Is it best to eat sugar with fat?

2008-01-11T11:37:00.000-08:00

Why does the sweet go with the savory so well?
It's so true and I have no answer for why it not been done more and packaged up for us in the shops, I even took about 10 minutes to find a decent picture of a chocolate covered crisps/chips searching through Google! I'm highly shocked and disappointed.

Any way back to the original point, I'm pretty sure the body knows whats good for you and whats not, sometimes .... but when it comes to eating a bar of chocolate there is nothing i feel like having at the same time other than a nice back of ready slated crispins.

It's the fat in the crisps that makes the sugar burn slower in your stomach effectively lowering the GI impact on the blood stream. THIS IS WHY! it taste so good to eat, savory and sweet were meant to go together ... ever had cheese with honey on toast? I used to all the time and it the best :)

If you want to make the sugar burn for a while in the belly .... add fat! it's not good for you but it's good to help keep the sugar ups small and so the sugar downs small too.

Dietrician online

2007-11-22T16:02:00.000-08:00

This is a very interesting website I came across today - A vey clever lady runs her own show and she accepts some of her emails that she receives and then answers peoples questions on diet and nutrition.

It seems as if Diet and nutrition are VERY extensive topics and not one persons body is the same.

If a normal body undergoes fat burning and carbohydrate burning for energy - then a person who eats almost no carbs would burn a lot more body fat than normal. This, i gather is the basis for the Atkins diet. Which is a very similar diet to the one i use to cut out carbs that i cannot digest.

First Aid for celiacs - repair gluten damage

2007-11-20T16:21:00.001-08:00

OK this is Important stuff - I believe everyone should know - if you don't like allergies caused by foreign bodies that pass through the stomach like gluten and many others, then you need one simple thing to help you get rid of those sometimes life threatening reactions, that one simple thing is what no one ever tells you about .... and I'm not really sure why!

L-GLUTAMINE!

It is meant for body builders’ yes? Not entirely, it is meant for people who want to rebuild their body from the inside out it will repair specifically almost all the major organ tissue and yes that includes the heart, stomach and the intestine also

Others might use L-Glutamine to fight acne and spots as it also repairs the skin and makes it healthier, so you might want to try it to get rid of those terrible spots or acne.

I have been using it for a while and I can now stay up late - skip meals - and eat things I should not, all of which I did not used ot be able to do. It has been rebuilding my stomach for me as long as I take it !! amazing it seems ..

Complex and simple amino acids are the building blocks of the protein world and if there is one thing that a Coeliac needs, it's their protein system sorted out somehow.

I will follow this post with some very important links soon - but in the means time - if you can't eat wheat, you can't eat gluten, you have a leaky gut that you think causes your problems or your not absorbing nutrients! Then I beg you - I literally beg you to give this supplement a go - I almost guarantee you to feel better within a week or two.

I take the difference for granted sometimes - but now I can do so many more things I did not used to be able to do, it's nothing short of amazing.

(The Healing Nutrients Within - by Eric Braverman, M.D.). Some clinical uses suggested for glutamine: Aging and Mental Performance, Alcoholism, Alzheimers Disease, Anxiety, Appetite Suppression, Benigh Prostatic Hypertrophy, Cancer, Depression, Diabetes & Hypoglycemia, Encephalopathy, Hypertension, Involuntary Muscular Movement Syndromes, Schizophrenia, Seizure Disorders, Stroke, Gout, Migraine... etc.

Spread the good word - L-Glutamine for Coeliacs and gluten intolerant people ...

Follow up extensive reading on this topic: Gluten free forum
Autism site

NOTE: If results are good, continue with L-Glutamins, If the following happens, stop using L-Glutamine

I started taking it in May this year and within a few days started experiences muscle twitching/spasms in leg calves mostly but also all over body. It would almost feel like popcorn popping in the legs. I also had more anxiety, buzzing feeling in the lower body, weakness and heaviness in the legs. It progressively got worse as time went on and eventually I tried to figure out what I was doing different. The only thing I could think of was the L-glutamine. I started to research and came upon the Mercola/ Blaylock report on the possibilities of it being an excitotoxin to the neurological system. It seems that it is not so for everyone BUT if you have an inability to convert it properly and it builds up then
problems can be severe. It seems that people who have MS especially do not have the ability to convert it properly and this can be the outcome. Anyway I stopped taking it and it took several weeks of taking curcumin. I read in an article about aspartame and MS that to calm the system/microglia that by taking minocycline or similar things that calm the system, like silymarin, curcumin and ibuprohen. The reason I went through this MS info was because my dad had MS for years and the possibilities are there....(even thought I AM NOT going
there)
So I took curcumin for several weeks and it slowly went away.

Sugar and Starch warning for Gluten free people

2007-11-18T17:41:00.000-08:00

I have just been reading about Gluten AGAIN ... and it seems that to one respected expert that the problem of Gluten could be sugar and starches!!

I know that my onset of gluten was caused by a bowl of Pasta!! which was the trigger that put me over the edge ... It seems correct that all these dietry requirements tie in closely together as I cut our potato automatically from my diet a long time ago just because i felt i didn't digest it.

Please visit this link and take some of this in.

It means only fruit sugars and Veg sugars should be taken - none extra. And a specific reduction in carbs also - like white potato which i think is the worst one.

I have even had bad reactions on wheat free pasta and so stopped eating that.
Here we go again ... the long Diet march :)

How Gluten intolerance affects you

2007-11-18T09:28:00.001-08:00

And also a wheat free food show!

This guy seems to be able to put some good research together to shed some light into the more scientific parts of how Gluten affects the population.

The site however is in Australia and concentrates on the commercial side of products and newsletters however the information he provides is still quite good.

Help is at hand for celiacs wih enzymes

2007-11-18T08:12:00.000-08:00

Help is at hand again for Coeliac sufferers.
This news was published in 2006, from an original article i found here.

Using this handy enzyme, Gluten is destroyed before it can get to the small intestine therefore causing minimal damage, if by chance, Gluten is accidentally ingested.
I would use this kind of treatment if I knew I accidentally ate some gluten and wanted to minimize the effects as soon as possible.

Not a cure but a step in the right direction for severe sufferers.

The article suggest that EP-B2 enzyme taken from Barley combined with PEP
(Propyl-endopeptidase) will effectively destroy the little Gluten b's within 10
minutes in the stomach.

This for me however would not be good enough to stop my initial reactions which are quite scary as soon as it hits the stomach.

What really is GM (Genetic modification)?

2007-11-02T15:56:00.000-07:00

Genetic engineering explained.

Ever wondered how Gentic engineering works, it's pretty scary when you look at the amount of jobs that are available in this industry! I’m quite concerned about how much of our food is already contaminated with foreign DNA bacteria and viruses!

What are the biggest most wide spread problems caused by? Bacteria, In my opinion it is bacteria imbalance that causes almost all of the human illnesses.
What do we need the time to become immune to before we can cope with the changes they cause to humans ? Viruses.

What are these foreign bodies doing to our bacteria levels and our DNA? Maybe nothing, unless our bodies are suitably susceptible to invasion or not strong enough to repel the migration of mutant evils into our delicately balanced system.

Take an average smoker - their systems are suitably STRESSED to be susceptible to letting in some of the bad boys through the sacred doors of our protection systems.

I’m now trying to think of a link between Celiac’s and HIV – both things you cannot get rid off ….

2007-11-02T13:13:00.000-07:00

Sitting on my bed farting like a trooper, I was sent a link for a video from a friend in the UK. My house mate came home and asked what the smell in the whole house was …. I don’t keep a food diary but I do remember what I eat and hat I ate – and it’s takes about an average of 24hrs for food to pass through the entire system of my body …

I remember it was a Soya brand Tofu food made from GM soya I guess …. One of the biggest names around, at least in Holland.

After watching this video on you tube it hit me – all the pieces of information I have been collecting subconsciously came together …. GM foods in my opinion are the root of most allergies alongside all the toxins we use to keep our foods shelf lives and rid crops and fruit n vegetables of bugs and disease.

The toxins would weaken the body allowing GM foods to affect our naturally balanced bodies in un-predictable ways …

Try GM free if you are having allergy problems and let me know what happens.

The healing power of infra red and clay

2007-09-08T08:02:00.000-07:00

The first thing I would like to start with is my exploration into to the world of light and energy.
After much searching across the internet for the lesser know therapies to healing the body and especially the stomach I stumbled across something very interesting.

Infra Red or Far Infra Red Technology has been around for some time it works on a fundamental basic level, we all know about the suns healing properties and the lack of suns effect on the body and mind. Heat and energy improve blood circulation and therefore aid in the removing of free radicals and toxins from the body as well as increasing oxygen supplies to the extremities of the body.The phenomenon of infra red technology was discovered by accident in China there is a good description of this story here.Infra Red activates the bodies systems effectively as it works on the same level of radiation that we emit, at similar wavelength. For this reason the body responds very well to such a stimulus.

We have seen the use of clay in beauty therapy but I never really understood how it works – I have to assume now that the clay draws out toxins from the body through the skin and it seems to be able to even remove heavy metals like mercury which can build up In the body causing an abnormal toxic situation.

I tried my infra red lamps at work because I work in Engineering currently and I have access to these lamps which are used to heat up our equipment to make them cleaner. After using them I noticed my stomach would feel a lot better – a lot more relaxed and less tight. Similar to the effects of a shower but it felt stronger afterwards somehow.Some links and reading material -

How to Make an Orgone water bottle

2007-01-19T17:19:00.000-08:00

I will go on to talk about Ionisation and also resonance quite a lot in my future posts. For now I want to utilise the earths magnetic field to ionise the water that come out of our taps zapping it back to it's original and energised H2O state (minus the chemicals)

Follow these steps to make your own and test it out. there's nothing to loose but unused brain cells.

Basically people may have come accross this method before as an orgon accumulator:

Take a normal plastic bottle and wrap it in tin foil - cover as much of the bottle as you can.

Then wrap the bottle in any kind of non metal substance you can find i used news paper (one or two sheets).

Repat these steps until you have at least 7 or 8 complete alternate layers - go upto 35 or more for increased effects.

Leave the water to charge for a min of 2hrs for a 7 wrap bottle and pref over night, larger wraps should be faster.

Now drink the water (weird but it tastes great right?) every day - keep it cool and always keep the bottle as full as possible to reduce any bacteria build up and keep the water moving each day don't let it sit for too long.

Feed your plants and watch them grow happier feed yourself and watch your energy rise.

Let me know how it works for you.

Soy Warning .... WARNING

2007-01-14T13:38:00.000-08:00

Many people do not know about this relatively new research that has been done with soy foods - especially the reformed - GMO - substitute soy foods.

Listen to this following video for an explanation of the process by which BAD soy is made and which soy is good for you.

This is ESPecially IMPORTANT for mothers who feed their children soy foods as alternatives to milk products.

How amzing really is SALT!

2007-01-12T16:40:00.000-08:00

We have 66% more of this than anything else! And apparently it will cure us of all our ills! OK so I haven’t had much time to do any research on this but there are people out there that seem very very reliable and legitimate that seem to think that the right type of water will bring us the right type of health.

I guess if we came from the sea we would still have some deep connection to it, but would it be so much so that administering it in the right way can help us heal our bodies bringing them to optimal health? Here is the website in question which I found riveting reading: Salty Water

Well I have heard nothing about salty yogurt and seen it in the shops, so lets see what salty water brings us, honestly though, I'd never nock it until i tried it myself. Obviously more research into this topic is needed. Help? As a Bonus today also I have found a rather cool looking horse riding guy who knows a HECK of a lot about health.

Every point he makes I could agree on. There is so much around us in the shops that is aimed at our "weaknesses" ALONE and not at our health whatsoever. GO right AHEAD? Ever heard of sugar that’s good for you? Because it's got less calories than a mars bar! AND PLEASE don’t get me started on FAT.

About me - I am what I ate and don't dislike

2006-12-18T13:05:00.000-08:00

About me:
I am a sufferer of IBS (irritable bowl syndrome) and I also have Celiac disease, it seems as if I have had a deadly combination of two big problems that affect over 10% of the UK’s population today and possibly more.

I contracted my stomach problems after my stay in China, which was initially a wheat-based or Gluten intolerance. One day after a bowl of Pasta my heart snapped and my blood pressure dropped like a lead brick my whole body went numb and cold and my heart was racing a mile a minute.

I was taken to Hospital in China and that’s where I stayed for over a week hardly able to sit up with out triggering an irregular heartbeat. Imagine a man of 26 feeling like he just had a heart attack.

Here I became HYPER sensitive to anger and stress and was able to locate the direct effect of any feeling or emotion on my body. I was amazed, even the slightest annoyed thought toward a Chinese farmer staring at the foreigner (ME) in the Chinese hospital would be enough to give me heart palpitations.

I was also able to locate the exact site of my problems as well as my build up of stress and tense muscle system around my intestines and stomach. Being able to control these however is a different matter.

“I subconsciously store my stress in my stomach area”

My irregular heartbeat has been directly linked (by my own research) to my stress and also my stomach problems. There is a muscle that joins the heart to the pelvis area which should be exercised and stretched every day by stretching like they do on keep fit videos. Also lie down on your side and breath in deeply and have some one push the underside of your rib cage up, thereby stretching your side and stomach muscles.

I have been feeling incredibly tired after dinner and lunch and would sometimes sleep, the side affect of sleeping after food is the inability to digest food as your lying down.

I have dedicated much of my spare time to the research of medicines that don’t involve doctors, as doctors have never been able to tell me that I have ANYTHING wrong with me at all. I have taken to the web by storm to bring the ultimate in health products and heath business opportunities.

In the following months and years I hope to build up one of the most comprehensive and informative places on the net you can find out about “what the heck is really going on down there?”

I hope I will be able to say this with conviction on every blog as my own personal catchphrase, help me make it mine!

“I’ve done the hard work, so you don’t have to”

“Remember, always do your research”
