As some of you might have noticed, we’ve been closed since June. Our computers went down nearly losing everything. As a retired IT professional, I cannot tell you how important it is to keep your data backed up. Having said this, we first lost our backup drive, and two days later, we lost the main drive. It’s taken this long to recover most of our data. I now have a triple backup system in place, and have purchased another computer (a network of three) with which I will do my photography and videography. I swore I would not go into debt to keep this here project alive, but, again, I broke my promise.

Additionally, since I volunteered for Simply the Best to do their accounting and email on this system, they too were down, but we handled it the best we could manually and only made a kazillion errors.

On the plus side, with the new computer setup, I can now photograph weddings, special events, and high school portraits. All the proceeds will go to the International Wellness Directory and keep this little hobby up and running.

When the new system is installed, I’ll be posting some of my latest photography on the web, so keep your eyes pealed to David’s PhotoArt.

I’ve also been doing some more experimental photography using only a flashlight as my light source. Because of the crash, and catching up on my work, I’ve not yet even had a chance to put them on my computer, but after the holidays, I will, and I’ll post them.e holidays, I will, and I’ll post them.

And if anyone out there wants to buy me a gift for Christmas, check out the flashlight below:


EpiCore Update

In our last newsletter, I offered to send any interested readers a pound of my own personal stash of Diamond V XPC (I used it on my chicks this past summer, and I did not lose one to disease) for a donation of $15.00. We got three takers, and that was acceptable.

However, Dr David Williams, who writes the newsletter Alternatives, published a little piece about EpiCor and how he decided to buy the 90 pound bag of Diamond V XPC. He suggested to his readers to locate the product online, and suddenly I was inundated with hundreds of orders.

I am not equipped to pack up that much of anything, my supply ran out, my suppliers could no longer furnish it, and I finally found one supplier over two hours away that carried it.

So if you, like Dr David Williams’ readers wish to try it (I’ve filled capsules with it; you can find a little kit for doing this), then you’ll have to go here: Diamond V XPC. You will notice that I’ve had to raise the price of the donation. However, those using it are reporting that so far, they’ve not caught any dreaded winter bugs.


Don't Forget the Troops
this Christmas

This newsletter has been rushed to beat the holiday traffic. We have some great gift ideas, and don’t forget our soldiers in

http://www.americasupportsyou.mil/americasupportsyou/index.aspx

http://www.letssaythanks.com/Home1280.html

www.anysoldier.com

http://web.1800flowers.com/military/index.html?cm_cid=wb8

And the next thing we can all do is get our troops home as quickly as possible. Write, call, visit your reps in Washington. We need them here at home. Now.

One last thing: the reason I do this web site, the books, and the directories (yes, I’m so far behind I don’t know where to start).


Why We Do This

This is a letter I got from a reader:

I wanted you to know that your web site helped to save my dad's life. : ) 

With info I got there, info I got from my docs and info I've read in books my dad's prostate cancer is undetectable. His type of cancer rated an 8 on the Gleason scale and his PSA levels got up to a 45. When it got that high he went ahead and had localized radiation which brought his PSA down to 11. He finally agreed to do the things I was suggesting to him and now his PSA is down to a .06 and at his physical exam yesterday the doc said he couldn't even feel the prostate anymore.

He eats a cup of raspberries every day. I got him to shift his diet to a more alkaline one. He takes green magma every day, beta glucans 1/3,1/6, zinc, saw palmetto, selenium etc.,etc.etc. He's 88 and counting!

Just thought I'd say thanks.

This is what keeps me going.

In future issues, we’ll be reviewing lots of books, CDs, you name it. We’re really behind, but we’ll catch up soon.

Oh, and if you want to make a donation to our cause this Holiday Season, please do. The software we use to create our directories and find alternative physicians, naturopaths, etcetera for our readers jumped from $200.00 per year to $1,000.00 per year.



My Esophagogastroscopy
That’s a mouthful.

Top

I awoke one night with this terrible burning pain in my chest. I felt like I was having a heart attack. But could it be heartburn? I’ve never had debilitating heartburn.

The next night, I awoke to the same thing. I thought my chest was going to explode. Only one thing to do: call the VA and set an appointment.

When I arrived at the VA, my doctor called me right in. I told her the problem, and she typed at her computer, told me to go directly to the lab for blood tests and then next door to get an EKG.

A lot of people complain about socialized medicine. Most of them are the ones making lots of money in our money based system of medicine. They say that there are long waits, the service is poor, etc. etc.

Within ten minutes I was back in my doctor’s office where she told me: It’s heartburn.

Apparently, if you you’ve had a heart event, they will find specific enzymes in your blood stream.

So, it was quickly ruled out. In ten minutes, with no waits. At the lab I was taken straightaway, and ditto at the EKG lab.

The VA system is an example of how well socialized medicine can work. Yes, there are exceptions (e.g., Walter Reed) but they’ve been caused by budget cuts (during a time of war when vets are returning in droves).

My doctor wanted me to get an esophagogastroscopy. She explained that the procedure lasted less than five minutes; that they would insert a tube with a camera attached to take pictures.

I’ve always had a fear of suffocation since I was a kid. I told her this and she responded: "They give you this new drug, Versed. Once they give it to you, no matter what they do, it won’t affect you, and afterwards you’ll forget everything."

“Oh,” I said, “like high school.”

I remember the doc inserting the IV, and I felt a cool liquid entering my vein. I asked if they’d just given me the anesthesia, and he replied, “It’s not really an anesthesia.”

“Oh,” I said, “then you’re not an anesthesiologist.”

He said, “No,” and began to tell me all about the drug, but that’s as much as I remember. Now I can’t wait for my next Colonoscopy.

It turns out that there was nothing wrong with my stomach, I did not have a hiatal hernia, but they did find Candida on my esophagus.

My doctor sent me Tagamet® and an anti-fungal medicine, but I decided to use a less harsh therapy. I like the fact that my body digests food. I don’t need an acid blocker. And the anti-fungal meds had side effects I wasn’t interested in exploring.

I began a daily routine of 10 drops of Magnascent (it’s antifungal) in the morning, upping it from the usual 3 drops per day. Then I followed that by a squeeze of Grapefruit Seed Extract in the back of my throat. It’s horrid. Getting it down is difficult, but in the back of your throat, you can swallow and quickly wash it down. I also added iFlora 4 Women (was called iFlora Candida) to my regimine.

Symptoms vanished within three days, but I continued the protocol till my bottle of Grapefruit Seed Extract was finished.

How I Lost 20 Pounds Without Dieting

Top

I’ve been a fan of Dr Sears’ a long time. I’ve read some of his work in one of the horde of newsletters that trample down my mailbox (both physical and electronic). One day his people came to me asking if we would review one of his books.

It’s called the Pace® Program.

I began reading it, and the more and more I read, the more it seemed if I’d already written this. You see, the first chapters tore into aerobic exercise, revealing the myths so many still kneel to. It was so close to our findings, that we asked him if we could publish his first two chapters in our next edition of Bypassing Bypass. In exchange, we would link to his site so you could get the rest of the story.

I’ll give you a hint.

You work out hard, then soft, then hard, then soft, then…

At this pace, you’ll teach your body to burn more fat while resting. Oh, I should tell you that there are side effects: your heart becomes stronger, and your lung capacity grows.

Yes, it does all those things that we’ve been told aerobic exercise does. Only, research shows, it (aerobic exercise) does not.

You see, our bodies haven’t evolved much since we were hunter gatherers. The life of a hunter/gatherer was spent walking long distances, sometimes carrying great loads, interspersed with running at breakneck speeds either trying to capture something to eat, or trying to escape something that wanted to eat him. We were born to be hunter/gatherers.

Whether you jog, run, walk, swim, jump rope, or ride a bike, you can do the Pace® Program.

I chose the bike.

At this same time, I discovered Dr Hyman (he’s yet to contact us). His book Ultrametabolism caught my eye. I read it and liked it. Eating to boost our metabolism. What a concept. Some reviews say that his theories go beyond the research, but he’s done his homework. Nothing he claims has been disproven in any study. Far from it. Studies back him up.

One thing that keeps Americans fat is that we skip breakfast, and then snack at night. That is the first thing you’ll learn to reverse when you pick up this book.

The PACE® Program and Ultrametabolism are my gift to you to start you new year. The PACE® Program can be yours in less than ten minutes. You just click and download. Untrametabolism will take a few days to arrive. You can also order a hard copy of the PACE® Program.

Magnascent Goes to Africa
Why not get it to your home too?

Top

We received a letter from a person with contacts in Africa who wanted to make nascent iodine for the population there suffering from malaria. It seems that all those making Edgar Cayce’s iodine recipes refused to give away their secrets.

I immediately contacted John Brookshire and got both parties together.

John not only gave them the instructions, he created a video showing them the entire process.

John is an angel. I hope you will all support his work, because, suddenly the FDA has defined iodine as a controlled substance, and John spent some $2,000.00 to get a license to make his nascent Iodine.

Additionally, I discovered an error in our reports on Iodine that I will try to clear up here, and later, I’ll repair the articles.

What is sold as Atomidine today is not nascent iodine.

From 1926 to 1935, it was nascent iodine. However, today, there are forms out there made with iodine trichloride, which is simply a dangerous form.

Edgar Cayce gave two readings on how to make Atomidine. He gave both to Sunker Bisey who decided, because of cost, to make the second form (from reading 358-2, rather than the first form (from reading 358-1) since the cost of this first process was prohibitive. This all occurred during the Great Depression, and the first recipe, which sold for a dollar a bottle, was preferred by the manufacturers over something no one could afford.

The difference between the two iodines is that the weaker method charged the molecules putting them into an energetic state, while the stronger method, true nascent iodine, broke the bonds holding the molecules together. The mild form is often referred to as Atomidine or Detoxified Iodine. The stronger form is true nascent iodine, or called, by John Brookshire, Magnascent.

The results from Magnascent are astounding. It is just a darn good product.

Here is a testimonial we received from one of the people who used his iodine:

My name is Terri B. and I was diagnosed with Small Cell Cancer in June 2002. The tumor was wrapped around my coronary artery. The Dr’s told me I would live a year, maybe less, because the small cell cancer would keep coming back. Sure enough, within a year I started jumbling my words and losing my balance. The MRI found a tumor the size of a lemon inside my brain. It was around this time that I bumped into John Brookshire again. He suggested I try [Magnascent] to help with the numerous side effect from chemotherapy and radiation. I was very impressed.

I would put 3-5 drops of [Magnascent] in a glass of water in the morning and at night, and I could tell a big difference in my energy level within a week. I was able to get up more and even wanted to get out of the house to go somewhere besides to the Dr or for tests. I also read a great book on the effects of not enough iodine in our bodies, and was shown how much this wonderful potion was helping women with Breast Cancer.

Here it is 2007 and I haven’t had any symptoms for over two years. I still use the [Magnascent] daily and I thank John for helping me get stronger

We’ve not yet put Iodine in our list of Alternative Cancer Therapies, but when I get the time, I will.

We will also review a book by Dr Brownstein on iodine in the near future, but in the meanwhile, you can order it yourself. Dr Guy Abraham has been testing iodine on breast cancer and prostate cancer, and he and Dr Brownstein are thoroughly convinced that when the body gets enough iodine, these cancers simply start to melt away.

Additionally, a lack of iodine (suffered by upwards of 85% of our population) affects our intelligence. In an article from the New York Times, December 16, 2006, entitled In Raising the World’s I.Q., the Secret’s in the Salt, experts suggest raising the quantity of iodine in our salt (to levels first proposed by a Dr Marlin – as we reported in an earlier article on iodine) would increase our intelligence.

“For 5 cents per person per year, you can make the whole population smarter than before,” said Dr. Gerald N. Burrow, a former dean of Yale’s medical school and vice chairman of the iodine council.

A reader sent us an interesting take on this:

I thought this was really interesting, though it doesn't mention iodine specifically. Since we know that mothers who don't get enough iodine tend to have dumber kids, it is interesting that mothers who eat a lot of fish tend to have smarter kids (even if the fish have mercury). This fits in interestingly with the "mermaid" hypothesis . . . . People living by the shore usually eat a fair bit of seaweed, which chelates mercury [bonds with mercury so it can pass], so even if the fish did have extra mercury, it might not be an issue. But the fetus would get all that nice iodine and omega-3 fatty acids to create a nice big brain.

The Thyroid Foundation of Canada published a paper on Iodine Deficiency Disorders in which they claim that “iodine deficiency currently represents a significant public health problem for 1575 million people (almost 30% of the world's population) in 110 countries. 655 million are affected by goitre, 20 million are believed to be significantly mentally handicapped as a result of iodine deficiency which is therefore the most prevalent preventable cause of impaired intellectual development in the world today.”

They go onto say:

Severe iodine deficiency may manifest itself by Cretinism i.e. children born with severe hypothyroidism. Neonates and young infants constitute the target population for the effects of iodine deficiency because, from a public health viewpoint, the most important complications of iodine deficiency are irreversible brain damage and mental retardation which result from iodine deficiency and thyroid failure during fetal and early postnatal life.

Other naturally occurring goitrogens can aggravate or simulate iodine deficiency, and these include such foods as cassava, maize, bamboo shoots, sweet potatoes, lima beans, and the Brassica group of vegetables. Iodine deficiency and/or these goitrogens interfere with the production of thyroid hormone, thus causing an increase in TSH, an increased size of the thyroid gland (goitre), and hypothyroidism.

The consequences of iodine deficiency even in developed areas such as Europe is enormous. For example the cost of the diagnosis and treatment of goitre due to iodine deficiency in Germany in 1986 was estimated at 700 million dollars, yet prevention by iodized salt would cost only 2-8 cents per person per year.

Elevated thyroid uptake due to iodine deficiency aggravates the risk of thyroid irradiation and development of thyroid cancer in the case of a nuclear accident. Even in Europe, clinically euthyroid school children born and living in an iodine deficient environment exhibit subtle or even overt neuropsychointellectual deficits as compared to controls living in the same ethnic, demographic, nutritional and socio-economic system, except that they are not exposed to iodine deficiency.

Iodine is an essential nutrient. Period. The simple fact that our government demands that our salt be iodized in a dosage that simply keeps us from developing goiters, while still keeping us iodine deficient means that each of us must get enough in our diet on our own.

John is working with a physician in Africa testing his iodine. Here is a letter he received from the good doctor:

I’m sorry for taking so long to reply on your e-mails.  I took leave for a month and went to Mozambique to have a good rest. 

I do not mind if you use my name in the newspaper.  I am still experimenting with the Iodine with lots of good results although you do not get the same results with all the medicines with everyone.  Overall it seems to work very well for Ostio-arthritis, Rumatoit-arthritis and even Gout.  I also use it for Septicemia and I find it very effective to put the undiluted drops on warts.  It also worked very well on kidney failure.  Yesterday I gave it to someone with full blown HIV on anti-retroviral treatment that failed, so I am waiting to see the response.  It is important that you mention that this study is in (it’s) experimental phase and the results were found with only a few patients.  It will take a few years and lots of patients to really come to a conclusion.  So far I had no side-effects or allergic response but, I am very positive that you can treat many illnesses with great success with this very inexpensive medicine. 

I will keep you updated on my results all the time.  Unfor­tunately most of my patients are (rural) black, so when they get cured, they do not come back to inform me about it.  They have no contact numbers, which means I can’t get into any contact with them to find out.  I do believe that God had not brought this medicine to me all the way from Zambia for nothing, so I expect that in this year, great things are going to happen.  I hope to generate some income with the Iodine, that I can go back to Zambia, to help our friend with all his good work.

We also got a letter from a woman with breast cancer who is under the care of Dr Guy Abraham. She writes: “It’s saving my life!”

Here is another letter:

Just good health info to pass on.  3 months ago my doctor tried to prescribe thyroid medicine to me.  I convinced him to let me try liquid iodine in my water morning and night before committing to the pills.  I just got my results in today and good news.  My thyroid went back up to normal.......no thyroid prescriptions.

Word to the wise:  We do not have enough iodine in our diets.

What can you do? Help yourself and your family by supporting John’s work.

Filed under the heading Duh!
 

Posted on: WACCOBB.NET

Not long ago I read a report that made the astonishing claim that the leading cause of death in the US is the American medical system. Medicare's recent announcement that it will no longer reimburse hospitals for the cost of treating certain "serious preventable events," such as an object left in a patient's body after an operation or giving a patient the wrong kind of blood, and particular infections amounts to a frightening acknowledgement of how bad things have gotten in mainstream health care.

Authors of the report on causes of death, published in Life Extension magazine, attributed nearly 800,000 deaths each year to medical interventions, in contrast to approximately 650,000 deaths from heart disease and 550,000 from cancer. The methodology they used to calculate that number didn't stand up to our analysis, so I don't think the numbers are quite so high. However, it did get my attention since the figures came from credible sources including peer-reviewed medical journals, citing for instance, 106,000 deaths annually from adverse drug reactions, 98,000 from medical errors and 88,000 from infections. This compares with 160,000 deaths from lung cancer anticipated for 2007, for instance. Death can't be held off forever, of course -- but preventable deaths from hospital-acquired infections, especially if due to poor hygiene such as those transmitted by not washing hands, are particularly egregious.

For greater insight into the risks we face, I spoke with David J. Sherer, MD, a board-certified anesthesiologist in Falls Church, Virginia, and the coauthor of Dr. David Sherer's Hospital Survival Guide: 100+ Ways to Make Your Hospital Stay Safe and Comfortable (Claren). He said that although this report is controversial and somewhat alarmist, it has elements of truth. Numbers can always be crunched and interpreted in different ways, but the indisputable point here is that medical errors and complications or adverse effects from medical interventions have reached a crisis point in this country -- one that needs to be addressed. That's beginning to happen.

Dr. Sherer and I discussed what's behind this alarming trend and how we can protect ourselves.

BEHIND THE RISE IN MEDICAL-RELATED DEATHS

First of all, the problem is not that medical practitioners have suddenly and inexplicably become sloppy and careless. That's far too simplistic an explanation. Instead, Dr. Sherer chalks up the alarming statistics to a number of different factors:

  • The American public is getting older and sicker. Growing numbers of graying baby boomers are developing the diseases of aging -- heart disease, diabetes, orthopedic problems, etc. In the meantime, in people of all ages, ballooning rates of obesity contribute to these same health challenges. More sick people mean more medical interventions... and in hard numbers, that adds up to more mistakes or complications.
  • In a kind of medical "perfect storm," just as more Americans are developing serious health problems, we're struggling with a shortage of medical support personnel including nurses, which decreases the attention paid to patient needs and details of treatment. Also, managed care has meant doctors have less time to devote to patients during office visits and, as a result, are less likely to know the particulars of their history. Dr. Sherer warns that this sets up a system ripe for errors.
  • Americans today take more medications than anyone else in the world -- and drug companies are working hard to get us to take even more. Spending on direct-to-consumer drug advertising has increased over 300% in nearly a decade, to $4.2 billion in 2005 from $1.1 billion in 1997. With that much money aimed at advertising drugs not just to save lives, but to enhance mood or correct erectile dysfunction or alleviate restless legs syndrome, Dr. Sherer points out that drugs are often being taken by people who don't need them. More drugs mean more drug reactions and interactions to juggle than ever before... again, many more opportunities for errors.
  • We're paying closer attention to medical errors and preventable complications and -- paradoxically, the harder we look for them, the more we find. This makes the numbers look terrible in the short run, but in the long run this increased vigilance and accountability should result in improved care.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF

Forewarned is forearmed: There are many proactive steps you can take to shield yourself and your loved ones from this epidemic of deaths related to medical interventions. At the doctor's office or in the hospital, Dr. Sherer recommends...

  • Bring an up-to-date list of all medications you take. Make sure that you list not only prescription drugs, but also over-the-counter medications, herbal remedies, vitamins and other dietary supplements. These can all react with one another. Also list the condition for which you take each drug.
  • Include correct name, spelling, usage and dosage. Dr. Sherer cautions that many drugs -- for example, Xanax (for anxiety) and Zantac (to treat ulcers) -- sound similar. A comprehensive and accurate list that includes the condition for which a drug or supplement has been prescribed will help ward off confusion and errors. This is especially important when dealing with health-care professionals who don't speak English as their first language.
  • Tell practitioners about any drug allergies or sensitivities and all pre-existing conditions. For example, perhaps you are allergic to penicillin. While this information should appear on your chart, don't take for granted that it does. Reminding health-care providers of your medical history, including drug allergies, is a simple and effective way to avoid potentially life-threatening medical errors.
  • Do your homework. If you are scheduled to take a new drug or undergo a test or procedure, first research it at reliable government, hospital or university-based Web sites such as www.medlineplus.gov or www.mayoclinic.com or www.jhu.edu (Johns Hopkins). Peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of the American Medical Association (jama.ama-assn.org) and the New England Journal of Medicine (content.nejm.org) can also be excellent sources of information. An objective non-biased drug assessment database is available through both print and on-line subscription (www.factsandcomparisons.com/) -- ask your health-care provider and/or pharmacist whether they use it.
  • Speak up. Ask your doctor the right questions. Why do I need this drug/test/procedure? What are the risks versus benefits? Is this the best drug/test/procedure for my condition? What about side effects? In the case of tests, are the results typically straightforward or subject to interpretation? How often is this test/procedure performed at your facility? How often does the surgeon or other medical practitioner perform it? In both cases, the more often, the better. Will there be pain or discomfort? If your physician can't or won't take the time to answer your questions, it's time to get a new physician.
  • Designate a friend or family member to be your advocate. When you're ill, it's all too easy to become nervous and forget the questions you want to ask, or fail to recall your physician's advice. It's not only comforting to have a trusted advocate by your side at such moments, it also contributes to a better understanding of the situation on your part, and more accountability on the part of your caregivers. If you're in the hospital, try to have someone with you or visiting frequently so that they can get help/nurse's attention if need be.
  • Take personal responsibility. In the long run, you remain in charge of your own health. Responsibility includes not just your interactions with medical practitioners, but also making lifestyle changes that reduce your risk of illness.

No doubt we will continue to hear more about this vitally important health topic -- and I'll continue to cover it in upcoming issues of Daily Health News. Given that hospitals will now have to absorb the costs of their mistakes due to Medicare's refusal to provide coverage for "serious preventable events," with a stipulation that prevents billing patients for them, too, it's clear that they will focus intently on reducing these events, which can only be good news. And meanwhile, Medicare's new hospital inpatient provisions will result not only in an estimated savings for the government of more than $20 million annually -- but, we can only hope, the saving of many lives as well.

Landmark Study Reveals New and Innovative Concepts in Psychological Cancer Treatment
Official Press Release
 

Author Rob van Overbruggen PhD shares his expertise and utilizes the power of the human mind to influence the cancer process in Healing Psyche

ROTTERDAM, The Netherlands - In Healing Psyche: Patterns and Structure of Complementary Psychological Cancer Treatment (CPCT), author Rob van Overbruggen describes the evolution of his ground-breaking concepts in psychological cancer treatment, how they differ from the more traditional psychological modalities, and how they have been carefully developed into a complete and complementary approach to treating cancer by tapping into the powers of the human mind.

During the research process, Van Overbruggen discovered overlapping patterns from different psychological approaches to cancer therapy.  In his book, he identifies those psychological patterns that influence the cancer process and how those patterns can be changed to aid the healing process.  Supported by many references to scientific literature, Healing Psyche is an analysis of the influence of mindset, behavior, emotions, and coping styles on cancer.

Based on his meticulous research, Van Overbruggen makes scientifically based suggestions for creating effective programs for somatic healing and offers tips for further research into the healing potential of the mind.  The book will be of great help and interest to a wide range of health practitioners and therapists who work with patients diagnosed with cancer. Patients themselves will also benefit from the new hope that these alternative healing approaches provide. Part therapeutic guidebook and part research dissertation, Healing Psyche will serve as a valuable addition and support to integrative medicine.

"This is a groundbreaking research paper that reads more like a page-turning novel. Full of absorbing case studies, Van Overbruggen presents some of the most provocative and mind-bending cancer research around."
- Ellen Tanner Marsh, New York Times best-selling author

From the Author:

After decades of research and billion dollars spent biomedical science has not yet discovered the cause for breast cancer. Every 13 minutes someone dies of breast cancer. Even if biomedical methods and technologies have enormously improved, health care costs have risen at a very high rate synchronistically.

Many organisations work together to beat this disease, however the Heal Breast Cancer Foundation is the only independent organisation that truly works on a holistic approach. Their independent research projects will shift the mainstream focus away from a biomedical, symptomatic therapy model towards a biopsychosocial prevention model.

That is why I support them and want to donate ALL my profits to them. All (!!!) revenue of the sales of my book (sold on December 12 2007) "Healing Psyche" will be donated to their campaign and research. If my book ends up in the top 5 of amazon.com then I will make an additional donation of $500 to support their cause.


Colloidal Silver
Our newest partner; supporting them, supports us.
 

Tony Isaacs, a good friend of our work, and author of Cancer's Natural Enemy, sent me a couple of bottles of Advanced Colloidal Silver. I used it for a few infections and it worked.

How It Works: Silver inhibits the growth of one-celled organisms, (such as bacteria and viruses) by deactivating the organism's oxygen metabolism enzymes. In turn, this destroys its' cell membranes, stopping the replication of its' DNA.

The historical use of the mineral silver by mankind is long and indisputable. For thousands of years, it has been used for the same reasons we are using it now in our Advanced Colloidal Silver supplement form. From mankind'searliest history, silver has been used in the making of food and drink vessels, as well as eating utensils. Today, silver is being used in swimming pool filters, food cutting boards, bandages, burn dressings, and water filters for NASA.

Advanced Colloidal Silver contains ONLY mineral and distilled water and is not a salt, iodide, protein, or gelatinous based product. When we use the term "colloidal silver", we use the Chemistry definition of "colloid" as a system in which finely divided particles [silver] are dispersed within a continuous medium [distilled water] in a manner that prevents them from being easily filtered or rapidly settled. Advanced Colloidal Silver contains no gelatinous products and is simply trace mineral and distilled water.

One minor drawback to using colloidal silver is that it can't distinguish between good an bad bacteria, so you'll need to supplement with a good probiotic. My personal favorites are, as many of you know, the iFlora line from Sedona Labs. htm"> iFlora line from Sedona Labs.

Advanced Colloidal Silver is the purest form around. We invite you to take a look at it, and we request that those using it send us their thoughts. We always like feedback. Click here to visit the shop of our newest partner: Utopia Silver.


Switch on Your Anti-Aging Genes
From Dr Alan Sears' Health Confidential

Top

New research has uncovered a gene that can increase lifespan dramatically, as much as 100 percent in one study.1 All living things carry it – including humans. Even more exciting is the discovery that natural substances found in certain foods have the power to activate this gene.

We first discovered evidence of this “longevity gene” about twenty years ago. If you starve mice, giving them a nutritionally balanced diet with very few calories, their lifespan increases dramatically. Later studies revealed that this strange effect wasn’t limited to mice: calorie-restricted diets produced similar results in many life forms, from single celled organisms to plantVery recently, we found the explanation for this mysterious phenomenon. They isolated a family of genes called sirtuins (“silent information regulator proteins”). Sirtuins kick in under conditions of severe stress, bringing about a miraculous transformation.

They transmit signals to every cell in your body that literally cancel out the effects of aging. The processes that lead to cell death slow to a crawl, buying your body more time. o a crawl, buying your body more time.

The discovery of sirtuins pointed to another amazing fact. Most folks think of genetics as written in stone. You have the genes you inherited, and that’s it. What sirtuins show is that certain genes can be awakened and called upon to change your body in the course of a single lifetime.

You’re probably saying to yourself, “Do I have to starve myself to live longer?” Good point. The problem of how to “wake up” sleeping sirtuin genes had scientists stumped for years. They had to find some other way to flip the “off switch” on aging.

That’s where foods come in. Turns out some contain a natural compound that unleashes the anti-aging power of sirtuins as effectively as calorie restriction. It’s called resveratrol.

Nature’s Solution

Resveratrol’s higher in plums, grapes, blueberries and cranberries. Other plants also make smaller amounts. Its power to enhance and prolong your life goes beyond anti-aging. Years of research have shown that resveratrol boosts heart health, combats cancer, ramps up energy levels, limits the inflammation that causes arthritis, and benefits a number of major organs, including the heart, liver, and pancreas. It also has the remarkable capacity to halt cell “malfunctions” that can be lethal, like tumor generation.

As if that weren’t enough, resveratrol also acts as a potent antioxidant, binding with “free radicals,” the molecules that cause cell damage and lead to death over time.

The list of resveratrol’s many health benefits is long indeed. Let’s start with the heart.

Have Your Cake and Eat It, Too

Back in the 80’s, researchers stumbled on a mystery they called “the French Paradox.” Conventional wisdom had long held that if you eat a lot of saturated fats, your arteries would clog up, putting you on the fast track to a major heart attack.

But when they compared the average diets among people in different countries, their theory went out the window. The French were eating all the fat they wanted – cheese, cream, meat, buttery pastries, cakes, and desserts, even foods made out of pure fat like pâté – and yet they had much lower rates of heart disease than Americans, who ate just as much fat.

In other words, the French were having their cake and eating it, too. Why?

Further analysis offered a clue: the French love wine as much as they love fatty foods. Something in wine, they realized, was highly beneficial. So they performed more testing in the lab and uncovered the one of the main causes: the grapes used to make wine were rich in resveratrol.

It turns out that different wines have different levels of resveratrol. Wines made from Muscadine grapes have the highest levels.

Meet One of Your Heart’s Best Friends

I’ve been studying ways to boost heart health for thirty years, and I’ve never come across anything more powerful than resveratrol.

There are actually two kinds of resveratrol, “cis-“ and “trans-resveratrol.” It’s the second kind appears to be the most beneficial.

One way it protects your heart is by preventing blood clots, a major cause of heart attack, particularly in older folks. In one study, researchers gave healthy male subjects a blood-clotting factor along with high doses of trans-resveratrol. They found that trans-resveratrol prevented their blood platelets from sticking together.3 Not only does this help your heart – it also prevents strokes, another effect of clotting.

Another way it powers your heart involves miraculous capability called “angio-genesis,” a fancy term for blood vessel growth. Trans-resveratrol acts a bit like bypass surgery by creating new blood vessels to deliver more oxygen to your heart when it’s not getting enough.

Finally trans-resveratrol drives down levels of bad fats called triglycerides. These are the fatty acids that clog your arteries. Scientists have been able to lower triglyceride levels as much as 15 percent in pre-menopausal women using concentrated grape powder.4 It’s this particular property that helped to explain the “French Paradox.” The French were eating fat, but it wasn’t clogging their arteries as fast as in Americans.

A “His-and-Hers” Cancer Fighter and Natural Sun Block

Resveratrol is a major weapon in the battle against cancer – in both men and women.

Someday, doctors may turn to resveratrol instead of drugs or surgery as a first-line defense and treatment for prostate cancer. In mice, it’s been shown to reduce prostate cancer risk as much as 87 percent. And in those who’d already developed prostate cancer, resveratrol slowed tumor growth up to 49 percent.5

For women, resveratrol may prove just as powerful in the fight against breast cancer. Another study on mice found that it slowed tumor growth and killed off cancer cells and the blood vessels they need to grow.6

This is truly amazing, if you think about it. Resveratrol acts just like chemotherapy in mice, but naturally and without any of the horrific side effects of chemo. And while it stimulates blood vessel growth to benefit the heart, it kills the blood vessels that feed tumors. When it comes to preventing cancer and heart disease, it’s you’re guardian angel.

What’s more, a number of studies suggest tha
