The Blog of vox

I am currently doing a whole body cleanse and will be starting this cleanse directly after.

Once again Ep's editor is practically worthless seeing as how this blog was previously nicely formatted in an easy to read fashion, and with one lovely click of the source button to make sure it doesn't  post the underlying code.. POOF! WordSalad. 

I really encourage you to read this despite the lack of paragraphing, fore it contains some vital information about our health. -Vox

Thyroid Problems, Estrogen & Other Matters

This all started when I posted a blog on Estrogen and Breast cancer. My friend Spiral Groove commented with all sorts of information on estrogen mimickers. Then my friend Queen of the Night commented with information of how to detoxify your body of estrogen mimickers. Queen of the Night is a clinical nutritionist and I know that she cured herself of hypothyroidism through proper nutrition. What follows is Spiral Groove’s and Queen of the Night’s information followed by a blogs by me on hypothyroidism. Hopefully Queen of the Night will add information to these old blogs of mine. Estrogen Mimicking Toxins Estrogen is also a strong Thyroid depressor. There are also many chemical toxins that the body can mistake for estrogen (xeno-estrogens). Chemicals shown to have estrogenic effects: 4-Methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC) (sunscreen lotions) butylated hydroxyanisole / BHA (food preservative) atrazine (weedkiller) bisphenol A (monomer for polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resin; antioxidant in plasticizers) dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (one of the breakdown products of DDT) dieldrin (insecticide) DDT (insecticide) [Hmmm. . . Now who was saying that DDT had no harmful side effects?] endosulfan (insecticide) erythrosine / FD&C Red No. 3 ethinylestradiol (combined oral contraceptive pill) (released into the environment as a xenoestrogen) heptachlor (insecticide) lindane / hexachlorocyclohexane (insecticide) metalloestrogens (a class of inorganic xenoestrogens) methoxychlor (insecticide) nonylphenol and derivatives (industrial surfactants; emulsifiers for emulsion polymerization; laboratory detergents; pesticides) polychlorinated biphenyls / PCBs (in electrical oils, lubricants, adhesives, paints) parabens (lotions) phenosulfothiazine (a red dye) phthalates (plasticizers) DEHP (plasticizer for PVC) Flouride has also been indicated in estrogen syndrome. If suffering the effects of high estrogen levels, one should also avoid plant estrogens, like those found in soy. The above is important information. All the toxins above can produce hypothyroidism. A slow under-functioning thyroid will produce weight gain, sky rocket cholesterol levels, and greatly contribute to metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus Type II. All of these problems have reached epidemic portions and the medical profession is intent on treating the symptoms of these toxins as opposed to removing the source of them. It should also be noted that bromide is now added to baked goods instead of iodine. Bromide is chemically close to iodine and binds to the receptor site in the thyroid gland for the uptake of the very necessary iodine for proper thyroid function. The best supplement I've ever found for this is XENO DETOX. It's got seaweeds and seaveggies in it and also takes the bad kind of Strontium out of the body. Great for getting BAD estrogens out of the body and cleaning up the receptors. 3 pills per day for 3 months is standard protocol. If you have low thyroid it's a must! www. healthline. cc http://www. healthproductsusa. net/30_xeno-detox_health. htm Posted by Queen of Night on Sunday, November 30, 2008 11:06 WHAT TO DO IF YOUR THYROID BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN The thyroid is an important gland for one’s health and well being. If it becomes diseased and doesn't function properly, it can cause weight gain, fatigue, and, in extreme cases, death. Inflammation of the thyroid gland is a common cause of thyroid disease. While one can take thyroid replacement, wouldn't it be better to find the cause and prevent it? That way one won't be dependent on an external source of hormone to stay alive. It’s been known for years that mercury can damage one’s hormone glands, but specific proof has been lacking. New research gives scientific evidence that’s been lacking. (Neuro Endocrinological Letter. August 5, 2006). In the study, researchers tested 39 patients with amalgam fillings. They tested the patients with a MELISA allergy test. MELISA is a test for sensitivity to metals - in this case mercury. The researchers found that 27 had high levels of measurable allergy. They removed the amalgams from 15, and left them in place in the remaining 12. They measured all of the participants for antibodies attacking their own thyroid gland. The results showed that removing the mercury led to a drop in these destructive antibodies. Those subjects who did not initially show mercury hypersensitivity did not drop in thyroid antibodies. Clearly, mercury has caused thyroid disease in many people. Mercury can attach to thyroid proteins and derange them. Then white blood cell defenders think that those proteins are foreign and attack them. The result is the slow destruction of the thyroid gland. If one has any type of thyroid problem, consider a MELISA test for inorganic mercury hypersensitivity. One can call 800-650-7850 for more information or visit www.melisa.org on the web. If positive, please consider getting rid of your amalgams as quickly as possible. Contact www.abcmt.org for a referral to a clinical metal toxicologist. WHAT TO DO ABOUT THYROID DRUGS The thyroid stimulating hormones (TSH) test is not a good way to detect low thyroid. The thyroid makes TSH. Theoretically, if the thyroid is low, TSH will increase to kick the thyroid into action. TSH tests aren’t very accurate, and a new study supports that contention (Wien Klin Wochenschr, 2006, 11(18):636-40). This study followed 85 subjects with hypothyroidism. All of them were taking T4 (Synthroid or levothyroxine). The researchers had 114 controls with normal thyroid levels. The researchers found that even though TSH was normalized in those taking T4, their T3 levels were lower. That means they were deficient in overall thyroid activity. The level of T3 in the pituitary regulates TSH. T4 is the major hormone produced in the thyroid. It also makes appreciable T3. The difference between T3 and T4 is simply that T4 has one more iodine (a total of four) attached to it. T3 is far more active than T4. The thyroid makes some T3, but the liver must convert T4 to T3 for most thyroid activity. As one ages, this process slows down. T3 ought to be provided along with T4. The regular commercial preparations used by the overwhelming majority of doctors don’t have any T3. Without it, one can easily be deficient in thyroid activity even with “normal” levels of TSH and T4. If one is not satisfied with the results they are receiving from Synthroid, please take this blog to your physician and ask for a desiccated thyroid preparation. Desiccated thyroid preparations have been in use for over a hundred years with good results and are far less expensive than Synthroid. Desiccated thyroid preparations include Armour thyroid or Nature-thyroid. Generally one replaces .1 mg of T4 with 1 grain of desiccated thyroid. If one is taking more or less, adjust accordingly. Antidotal evidence suggests that at least 90% of hypothyroid patients prefer desiccated thyroid. About 10% or less will prefer the commercial synthetic T4. THYROID REJUVENATION WHEN your doctor tells you that you have a problem with your thyroid [this is four times more likely to happen to women than men] it is generally a prescription for a lifetime of medications. This is something the pharmaceutical companies love [synthyroid is one of the largest selling prescriptions ever]. If the doctor tells you that you have an underactive thyroid [hypothyroidism], they will more than likely give you a lifetime prescription for synthyroid. When the doctor says hyperthyroidism, they recommend either surgery or radiation followed by that lifetime prescription for synthyroid. The vast majority of doctors are totally unaware that the thyroid can be rejuvenated via a liver/kidney flush, by proper supplementation and RNA therapy. What follows are re-posts on liver detoxification, hypothyroidism and preventing mental decline. [It is the same protocol for rejuvenating the thyroid as it is for preventing mental decline (both the phyto-nutrient part and RNA therapy need to be followed)]. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ LIVER DETOXIFICATION Most people change the oil and filter in their car every 5,000 miles or so. That is as often as twice or more a year. However, they don’t think twice about neglecting their body filter (liver) for an entire lifetime. Unlike a car filter, your liver is designed to detoxify and cleanse itself. But the liver can easily be overwhelmed and kept from performing its own self-detoxifying procedures. The liver needs certain foods to perform this miracle. These foods are not the ones most people eat. The foods most helpful in cleansing and detoxifying the liver contain chemicals and enzymes which the liver uses in biochemical maneuvers to rid itself of toxins. Without these foods and an influx of all kinds of toxic goods and other chemicals, most people find that their liver is overloaded. A toxic, congested liver leads to all kinds of health problems, not the least of what can be cancer. In fact, just about every cancer has its origins in the liver and/or the kidneys. All cancer cases are liver cases. A toxic liver is a major contributing factor in thyroid problems. The person with a congested and toxic liver is usually an allergic person. These people slowly become allergic to everything. The reason is that their liver is not filtering properly. Molecules end up in the bloodstream that should not be there. The body mounts an immune or histamine reaction to these foreign bodies. This reaction is identical to an allergic reaction. Slowly but surely your body will react to just about everything. Just as your car’s engine will ultimately fail if the oil filter becomes totally clogged. The person with a clogged liver will become exhausted, arthritic, racked with aches and pains, sick, asthmatic, and face adrenal failure if the liver is left unattended. The person with a toxic liver will have all kinds of digestive problems–bilious, nauseous, diarrhea and constipation, gallbladder problems and stones, increased cholesterol levels and more. As the liver clogs up, the kidneys will be called on too take up the load. In fact, the liver is like a third kidney, and the kidneys are like another liver. In most cases of liver detoxification, one needs to clean up the liver and the kidneys. A toxic liver will cause just about every kind of health problem imaginable. As the blood becomes thick with fat, vessels become clogged. As vessels become clogged, blood pressure goes up. As you are medicated for the blood pressure, your kidneys will begin too fail. This will put additional pressure on the liver because the liver is a kidney and the kidney is a liver. Your feet will burn, your skin will turn sallow with eruptions, including hives urticaria eczema, psoriasis, and more. Just as your car engine will sputter before it finally quits, you will slowly be drained of every ounce of energy, just before complete adrenal failure. The first order of business is to give your liver a rest by relieving it of some of the poisons it is forced to filter out of your body on a daily basis. The main ones are booze, cigarettes and drugs. The more discreet ones are prescription drugs, tons of synthetic vitamins and powerful herbs, a 100% cooked-food diet, a constant diet of refined and processed foods (anything in a package or wrapped in cellophane), bad water, pesticides and herbicides, chlorine and fluorine, too much protein and meat, preservatives and additives like nitrates. Keep in mind how great it feels to replace your car’s oil and fuel filters. You then add clean, pure engine oil and the best fuel. You just know your car is going to purr. It isn’t much different with your body, except that you cannot just simply change the filter. You only get one. While it is a highly regenerative organ that can cleanse itself, it is also subject to severe damage from toxins. The ingestion of one tiny batch of the wrong mushrooms will permanently destroy an entire liver, requiring a liver transplant. Give your liver a break. Stop giving it poison and start giving it what it needs to cleanse itself. Unfortunately, the cleansing foods are not exactly American staples. They include garlic, onions, kale, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, beets (roots and leaves), black radish, red peppers, cabbage, asparagus and egg yolks. Let’s see–I’ll have a plate of organic liver, smothered in raw onions and garlic, with a side of broccoli ad brussel sprouts and a kale, peppers, and Spanish black radish salad. And I think I’ll eat this every day for three months and then for three months every year. That would be a wonderful regimen and would probably preclude cancer for anyone willing to subject themselves to such a diet. In reality, it would help if you ate at least some of these foods on a regular basis. You can then additionally perform a liver detoxification as often as necessary (dictated by the state of your health) by using concentrates of these foods in supplement form. Retracing is the term used too describe healing which takes place by the elimination of symptoms. Symptoms you have not experienced in years or even decades often resurface or retrace before they are permanently eliminated in a true healing experience. Today many so-called healers and physicians use the term retracing too describe side effects from their own incorrect therapies, never taking the blame for anything. It is always the patient’s immune system, or the patient’s fault, or a process of retracing that never seems to end. The Herxheimer reaction is a much more “real” reaction in some people. It is when the body is killing and throwing off microbes (bacteria, viruses, yeasts, etc.) in larger amounts than the organs of elimination (kidneys, bowels, etc.) can handle. This phenomenon is often a good sign that some thing is finally being accomplished in your body. The symptoms of this reaction are almost always the same–flu-like symptoms that can include aches, pains, fever, diarrhea or constipation, exhaustion, and headaches. The answer to a Herxheimer reaction is obvious. You must slow down your treatment, whether it be nutrients or whatever. At the same time, you must increase your body’s ability to throw off toxins, poisons, and dead microbes. This means more pure water, some flax meal or other fiber to increase bowel function, light exercise, and plenty of rest. Liver detoxification is not a procedure to be taken lightly. One of the liver’s hundreds of jobs is to filter toxins from the body and release them via the bowels or kidneys. When the liver becomes overloaded, it can no longer keep your body free form toxins, and you will absorb, reabsorb, and have toxic chemicals circulating in your blood. The effects of this can be so slow and cumulative that you can mistake them for poor health or diseases that “develop” as life goes on. Once the liver is encouraged to discharge stored toxins and cleanse itself (the liver is a self-detoxifying organ), a remarkable thing can happen–the symptoms or disease that plague you will become much worse for a short time during the detoxification process. Problems and symptoms you would never dream could come from the liver will show up and be exaggerated (retracing). If you are able to clean up your liver in a three-week detoxification period, these “diseases” and/or serious symptoms will show themselves, and then disappear. If your liver is only partially detoxified, you will need to do this two, three or even four times. Each time these problems will once again show themselves with diminishing severity until they are cleared and gone. For most people, four three-week liver detoxification sessions will provide all the benefit possible from a healthier liver. The remarkable thing is that some or even most of the “diseases” you have had may not be diseases at all. Rather, they may be auto-intoxication, or self-poisoning, from a toxic and congested liver. By the way, this does not just happen. It is caused by a lifetime of abuse of poor diet, drugs, toxins, poisons, alcohol, cigarettes, et cetera, et cetera. Another remarkable thing about discovering that your “diseases” are really caused by toxins is the shock over the folly of treating these diseases and symptoms with drugs and medicines. In fact, in most cases of these types of diseases (lupus and arthritis are two very notable diseases), the treatment with drugs only makes the situation worse by adding more toxins to the mix. If these toxic drugs cannot be released from the body, they too will have to be detoxified at some time in the future. Always consider the liver as your life saver and also as the source of your problems if you have not been treating it well. Remember retracing when you embark on a liver detoxification program. You can get really sick. If you have a toxic liver and suffer from intractable high blood pressure, cancer, allergies, skin conditions, adrenal or kidney failure, arthritis, or any other “degenerative” condition, there is often no way around this procedure. The key word here is slow. A person with a highly toxic liver will become very ill if the liver is purged too release toxins too quickly. Some of the toxins will be reabsorbed and produce a strong and often allergic reaction. When retracing occurs, you can feel like you have the worst flu in memory. Your joints can ache, you can have a headache, coated tongue, diarrhea, fever and more. This usually occurs on the last few days of the three-week period. If it does, it proves that you need one, two, or even three more three-week periods of detoxification. Plan your liver cleansing to end on a day or days when you can take off work if necessary. Do not take the liver system and it’s detoxification lightly. The answer to detoxification reactions is to go slowly. If the dose of a product calls for nine daily, start with one for a day or two to test the state of your liver. If things go well, build up to the full dose. The full dose of food concentrates are taken for three weeks at a time with a week off. While a three-week detox is powerful, some people will need to do this three times or more, followed by once yearly. The products discussed here are food (animal and plant) concentrates which are known too facilitate the most efficient detoxification of the liver. There are a lot of pills to take when detoxifying the liver and/or kidneys. Keep in mind these are simply the condensed and easy version of the food which one would normally have to eat in huge quantities. The seven products used are from Standard Process. Since 1929, this company has been the benchmark for excellence in the field of concentration of nutrients from foods. Standard Process products are only sold to health care providers, but fortunately are available online. Products other than those from Standard Process will simply not have the same results. The normal version of the liver detoxification program includes four products; Livaplex taken in a dose of two tablets three times daily, Spanish Black Radish (2 x 3/daily), Cholacol II (3 x 3 daily) and Cruciferous Compete (2 x 2 daily). This program should be taken for three weeks at full dose followed by a week off. The sicker you feel during detoxification, the more three-week sessions you will need to get well. If you are dealing with a serious liver detoxification problem, hepatitis, or more serious liver discase, also include Zymex Capsules (4 x 3 daily) and Betacol (1 x 3 daily). If you plan to also detoxify the kidneys during this time (and this is generally a good idea), add Albaplex (3 x 3 daily). Keep in mind that this can be a powerful program. Start slowly and drink plenty of pure water during your detox period. If at all possible include detoxifying foods in your diet during this time. ******************************* HYPOTHYROIDISM A few years ago I started putting on weight and suffering from fatigue. My doctor tested me and then diagnosed me with hypothyroidism. He put me on synthyroid. This didn’t seem or feel right to me. I obtained a book and studied hypothyroidism. At that time I was self supplementing with soy isoflavenes. I discovered that this supplement can cause a mimicking of hypothyroidism. I quit taking the supplement, was retested and found normal, quit taking synthryoid, my eyebrows grew back, my wight dropped to my normal 160 on a five nine frame, and my energy rebounded. More important that all of this for me was that I convinced my doctor to read the book that I had read. Now he tells me, “If you’re carrying around 10 or more excess pounds, there is a 90% chance that you’re suffering from a hidden health problem—an underactive thyroid. You may have already heard that a low thyroid can cause weight problems, and you may have even had your thyroid tested and been told that it’s “normal.” “Normal” doesn’t mean you’re in the clear. The thyroid test that’s most commonly used today is wildly inaccurate. Back in the 1920's and 1930's, doctors would know if your thyroid function was low by: 1) You had high cholesterol, and 2.) Your metabolism was low. The problem was that measuring metabolism was a lengthy, expensive procedure. It required a whole room with some very elaborate and expensive equipment. Then a doctor named Broda Barnes discovered a quick and easy way to test metabolism: just take your resting body temperature. About 60% of all the calories you burn go to maintaining your body temperature. If your body temperature is low, it means your metabolism isn’t burning enough calories and you gain weight. A great way to test your thyroid is to do a resting body temperature test. Every morning for several days, test your body temperature. The only way to accurately test your resting temperature (metabolism) is to measure it when you’ve been at rest for a number of hours. So you have to do this test before you get out of bed. When you wake up, stick a thermometer under you underarm and wait for the reading. Repeat this for several mornings in a row. If your temperature is 97 degrees or below on a consistent basis, then you need to take action to support your thyroid. If your temperature is below 96 degrees, then you definitely need to treat your thyroid problem. One of the main causes of thyroid problems is stress. Today people are under more stress than ever. From the moment we wake up until the moment we go to bed, we’re bombarded by stimuli. As a result, ever greater demands are placed on both our thyroid and adrenal glands. They have to work overtime and often can’t keep up with the increased pace. So even though your thyroid is supposedly making “enough” hormone, you may need more. The added stresses on your body mean that you need a lot more thyroid hormone than your ancestors did 100 years ago. The second cause of thyroid problems is iodine deficiency. As you may know, the thyroid needs iodine in order to make the active form of thyroid hormone. Most people don’t get nearly enough iodine in their diets. There’s not a lot of iodine in the soil. So aside from kelp and seaweed and shellfish, you can’t get much iodine from food. That’s why public health officials started putting iodine into table salt in the early half of the 20th century. This worked for a while. Studies showed that the rates of thyroid disease went way down after iodine was put in the salt. Fewer people had swollen thyroid glands (goiter), fewer people had low metabolisms and other symptoms. Then came all the ani-salt advice. People were told that salt increases blood pressure, so they started cutting back on it and getting less iodine. About the time a new thyroid test (the TSH blood test) was introduced, the number of people testing “positive” for thyroid problems went down significantly. The public health officials stared worrying about the people getting too much iodine, and they started taking it out of the salt. They also started taking iodine out of baked goods and putting bromine in its place. Bromine and iodine are what are known as halogens. They have similar chemical properties and they attach to the same receptors in your cells. If you look on the Periodic Table of Elements, you’ll notice that bromine and fluorine are in the same row as other halogens like fluorine and chlorine. This is important because of our chlorinated, fluoridated water supply. We are not only getting exposed to a lot of bromine, but also to a lot of chlorine and fluorine. Instead of iodine attaching to the thyroid hormone, these other halogens do. This results in thyroid glands that don’t function properly. Unfortunately, the conventional blood test cannot differentiate between a thyroid hormone with iodine versus a de-activated thyroid hormone with bromine or chlorine or fluorine. The blood test shows you have plenty of thyroid hormone, but it does not show that most of the hormone isn’t doing the job. The next reason most people are thyroid deficient is the action of mercury. Studies have shown that mercury goes where iodine goes. Autopsies show that mercury coalesces heavily in the thyroid. It inactivates the enzymes in the thyroid gland that create thyroid hormone. We get exposed to a lot of mercury these days from our diet, dental fillings, and toxins in the environment. When you look at all the assault on our thyroid, it’s no wonder so many people complain of fatigue, weight problems, hair loss, and other thyroid-related symptoms. Once you have determined that your metabolism is low, you need to increase it. The first thing you can do is take the right nutrients. If you are deficient in iodine, the best way to replace it is with one or two drops of Lugol’s solution placed in a glass of water or juice. Lugol’s is a combination of 5% Iodine and 10% Potassium Iodide in distilled water. You can find it on the Internet or in your health food store. You can also find Lugol’s solution in the form of a tablet. This product is call Iodorol, and is also available on the net or in a health food store. Thyroid hormones are made from the amino acid tyrosine. Many people need much more tyrosine than they get in their diets. Signs of a tyrosine deficiency include depression, difficulty concentrating and focusing, low blood pressure, and a low thyroid. The usual dose is from 500 mg to 1,000 me taken in the morning, mid-morning, and early afternoon. If you have high blood pressure, or are on any medications, be sure to discuss taking tyrosine with your doctor. You may have heard that guggulipid will reduce your cholesterol. The reason it works to lower cholesterol is that elevated cholesterol is a sign of low thyroid. The guggulipid boosts your thyroid function and lowers your cholesterol. Taking 10-30 mg of the coleus forskohlii, an extract of the root of this Chinese herb stimulates the production and release of thyroid hormones. It also makes the thyroid gland much more sensitive to the regulating effects of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). Glandular thyroid extract is a concentrated animal extract derived either from the thyroid tissue of pigs or cows. It is readily available at most health food stores.. Taking thyroid extract is the same thing as eating the thyroid gland of these animals. While that may not sound very appetizing, these thyroids extracts are very simulating and supportive of human thyroid glands. The recommended dose is from 150- to 300 mg per day. Some supplement makers make a combination formula containing iodine, tyrosine, guggul, thyroid extract and coleus. If your thyroid is in really bad shape, then you’ll need more than just supplements. You’ll have to take thyroid hormone, which is available by prescription. Make sure you go to a holistically minded doctor who will prescribe a natural thyroid hormone like Armour Thyroid or Naturethroid, rather than the more commonly used Synthroid. They have been around for over a hundred years and are much more inexpensive than Synthroid. The reason for this is that Synthroid only contains the inactive form of thyroid hormone, called t4. Your body turns T4 into the active form, T3 as needed. Conventional doctors figure they’ll give you t4 and let your body do the rest. The problem is that a large number of people don’t convert T4 to T3 very well. Natural thyroids consist of 60% T4 and 13% T3. The T3 is just enough to insure that poor T4 to T3 converters will get enough active hormone. As a general rule, 60 mg of natural desiccated thyroid should be prescribed for every 10% decrease in metabolism. Ask your doctor how to determine the decrease in your metabolism. Getting the right dose of desiccated thyroid will boost your metabolism and may very likely improve thyroid function. That means that after six or nine months treatment, you may find that the thyroid dose you require is greatly reduced. Getting your thyroid function right will help you take off those unwanted pounds and keep them off. PREVENTING MEMORY LOSS **********************8********************************************* Some people think the memory loss epidemic is already here. As the population of the US and the western world ages, and tens of millions of baby boomers begin to pass age 65, the epidemic may already be here. At best, there are dark clouds on the horizon. No one seems to know just what to do about a nation of adults who can’t remember. There are people who are genetically predisposed to dementia, memory loss and Alzheimer’s. There are also millions of citizens who are ‘losing their minds’ due to four major factors: general prescription drugs, statins (cholesterol lowering) drugs, antacids and a low-fat, low salt, poor-protein diet. Today there are more prescription drugs and they are more powerful than at any time before. There are hundreds of drugs that cause dementia and memory loss. Heart and blood pressure drugs are famous for inducing cardiac invalidism. This is the state in which an older patient stumbles around like a zombie–incapable of clear thinking, and with almost total loss of stability and independence. It is not unusual for older people to take many drugs simultaneously, often prescribed by different doctors Drugs interact with one another, making their side effects worse and more powerful. It is not uncommon for a patient to be taking 20 different drugs. Scientists and pharmacists agree that once past the third prescription, no expert in the world can predict the complicated and interrelated side-effects–many of which effect the brain. If cholesterol is below 150, one may be at a risk for dementia, memory loss, hormonal imbalance, and possibly even feminization (for men) with a fat gut, lack of endurance, hot flashes, loss of sex drive and more (Health Alert, vol. 21, No 2) An older man or woman, obviously exhibiting signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s, goes to a physician. This person demonstrates profound leg weakness. Lab tests are done and no obvious reasons for these problems are found. The only thing “abnormal” is a total cholesterol reading of 265. the doctor ends the examination with no real answers and a prescription for Liptor. Liptor is often the cause of leg weakness, yet it is prescribed. In people over age 75, a 265 cholesterol reading is normal. Statistically the higher the total cholesterol in this group, the longer they will live, yet Liptor is prescribed. In people over 75, even with a truly high cholesterol reading, statin drugs, like Liptor, offer little to no increased longevity. Lower cholesterol can cause dementia. According to the Archives of Neurology (64:103, 2007), “a decline in serum total cholesterol levels may be associated with early stages in the development of dementia.” Most doctors truly want to help, but too few physicians have yet to wake up to the fact that most of medical science is manipulated by the drug makers. The “science” and “scientific articles” backed by pharmaceutical companies are actually believed by most physicians. It seems that most everyone takes antacids whether by prescription or over-the-counter. They are a major cause of memory problems. An article in the Journal of the American Geriatric Society (August 3, 2007) says elderly African American people who regularly use acid-inhibiting drugs such as Pepcid, Tagament and Zantac, have 2.42 times the normal risk of developing dementia. In absolute risk terms, this is a startling number. The number of people who develop dementia is already sky high. When one talks about increasing the risk 2.42 times, one is looking at hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of people who may develop dementia because of antacids. This is absolutely criminal when one considers that most acid indigestion is caused by too little acid, not too much acid. Antacids are prescribed for people because the doctor and/or patient are unwilling to treat the underlying causes of the problem. These causes are too little digestive–stomach–acids, wheat, poor food combining, and a weakness in the diaphragm that allows stomach contents access to the esophagus. All of these can be corrected without drugs or surgery. For over 98% of all indigestion suffers, antacids are unnecessary, Band-Aid treatments with serious side effects. The drugs inhibit receptors in the stomach that in turn block hydrochloric acid production needed for proper digestion. This sequence can induce nutritional deficiencies of protein, B vitamins, and minerals–all of which play a role in proper brain function and memory. The same drugs also inhibit the brain’s cholinergic system, which is involved in memory and cognition. Low levels of chlinergic activity are linked directly to loss of memory and dementia. The end result is confused thinking, poor memory, and impaired reasoning–the epidemic of older Americans that is here now, or just around the corner. The low-fat diet is already dead; however, it is maintained on life support by well-meaning physicians who have been brainwashed into thinking that it is healthy. This disastrous experiment in medicine has caused all kinds of problems–not the least of which is memory loss and dementia. The 0-fat diet is impossible to maintain, and does not produce weight loss. It does produce a deficiency in healthy fats, especially when combined with antacids and statin drugs. Fats from real butter, eggs, cheese, cod liver and flax oil and more are essential to maintaining healthy cholesterol levels, a healthy heart and a healthy brain. After all, the brain is almost entirely fat and cholesterol. The low-fat diet is generally prescribed for heart patients–most of who are older. It is also part of a 1-2 punch–part 2 being the additional recommendation for low or no salt. Salt is needed for the proper production of stomach acids and enzymes, a low-or no salt diet can contribute to aid indigestion–for which antacids will be prescribed–further complicating the dementia problem. A huge study from the Journal of the American Medical Association (July 18, 2007) showed what happened when 3,000 women were put on a low-fat diet to help prevent breast cancer. There was little change in the risk of breast cancer and there was no weight loss. Avoid the fake and industrialized fats found in bottled oils, salad dressings, and processed foods. To keep your memory, the low-fat diet should be switched to the no-junk diet. Junk is the adulterated, industrialized, processed, nutritionally stripped, and chemically preserved abominations you find marketed as low-fat, zero-fat, zero-cholesterol, pure and heart-healthy foods. A doctor is not a medical investigator; therefore, he or she will believe a synopsis of one article or another. Most doctors are inundated with questionable research from drug companies, he or she may actually become hoodwinked or brainwashed into prescribing Liptor, acid stoppers, and a low-fat diet for just about everyone. More than 16 million prescriptions for antacids were written in 2005. This does not include the tens of millions of over-the-counter acid stoppers. Antacids and statins are the two largest selling drug families on earth. Be smarter than you physician. It’s not hard. Your doctor sees hundreds of patients, yet you are the only one that truly lives with yourself. If you have memory or muscle problems, statin drugs are not for you. If you have dementia, memory problems, or if these things run in your family, skip the antacids and the low-fat diet. And if you have been prescribed any drug at all, get a drug handbook and check if it can be a cause of your dementia. If you are apprehensive about continuing your prescription drugs because of memory problems, discuss it with your doctor. Quite some years ago, a book was written on ribonucleic acid therapy. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a yeast extract involved in cell multiplication and development. RNA helps the body utilize proteins, especially in the brain. Proteins are key to proper memory. If brain cells cannot utilize proteins properly, memory problems result. People who cannot utilize proteins properly often have a high protein level in their blood. The same people often have problems with memory, aberrant thinking, and cold hands and feet. Because RNA helps utilize proteins, it is also related to normal thinking and memory. Many healers over time have also related RNA deficiency to early aging. Today ribonucleic acid is available as a supplement. It must be processed properly from yeast in order for it to active when taken. Standard Process makes a product called RNA that is properly processed. Standard Process Labs usually only sell there products to licensed health care providers, though there products are available online. Standard Process has been around since 1929 and they sell only specially processed whole food supplements that are processed to preserve all the enzymes, co-enzymes, phyto-nutrients and other whole food components. RNA is certainly not the only answer to memory problems, but it is often helpful. Someone taking RNA should start with 3 per day for 2 weeks, then 6 per day for 2 to 3 more months. It cannot hurt, has no known side effects, will not interfere with medications and is often very helpful to people suffering from memory problems and cold hands and feet. It also seems to aid in normalizing thyroid function. If you are trying to improve your memory, be sure to give RNA a try. It works best with a full phyto-nutrient protocol. If you are not on such a protocol, be sure to utilize it with a healthy diet, a general pyto-nutrient supplement like Catalyn–6/day–, a mineral supplement like Min-Tran–6/day, and a tablespoon of flax or cod liver oil daily. Allow 3 to 4 months to judge results. If you begin to see any improvement, it is safe to up the dose to 12 tablets daily. If you have a high blood protein level, you can often judge effectiveness by monitoring this level as it comes down with RNA therapy. Everyone needs protein. Protein is the source of amino acids. These are the building blocks of the body and brain. Many people have a problem with protein utilization, especially in the brain. In these cases, RNA therapy is often very beneficial. There are millions of others who are simply protein deficient. Reasons for this are many and varied. There are 22 amino acids, most people have heard of many, such as lysine, tryptophan, leucine and so on. eight amino acids are considered essential amino acids. That means that to utilize the protein, food must contain all 8 essential amino acids in a usable from. One needs top quality protein that is not overcooked. If one lacks protein, they will become severely fatigued, begin to suffer from stress, have weakened muscles and thyroid function, develop edema, and eventually lose their memory. To ensure proper protein utilization, RNA therapy is best. To ensure adequate protein digestion, antacids have to be given up. One can be easily assured of getting adequate protein from their diet by taking Protefood–one/day—from Standard Process. It supplies all 8 essential amino acids, so that you can be assured that the protein one eats is being utilized. People with protein deficiency suffer from cold hands and feet and severe fatigue. The fatigue is often caused by failure of the adrenal glands, which are being robbed of their necessary protein. In people with his condition, taking 1 Protefood capsule daily is like allowing a draft of fresh air into a furnace. Just as the fire burns hotter, one's metabolism will increase, energy will lift and memory will improve. EVERYONE trying these recommendations and having their well deserved success, please share it with everyone you know, and let the writer of this blog know how you fared. Standard Process products are normally only available to licensed healthcare providers, but fortunately they are available online from companies such as Total Health. The writer of this blog has no connection whatsoever with either Standard Process or Total Health

Hate Laws - Putting
Beliefs Behind Bars
By Harmony Grant
11-13-8

The new TV show Life on Mars features a cop thrown back in time to 1973. On a recent episode, the cop from 2008 calls an assault a "hate crime.
" His buddy, a cop from 1973, retorts, "As opposed to an "I really, really like you crime?""

His witty comeback points out the commonsense response to the idea of a "hate crime:" all violence comes from evil emotions. We should not classify some rapes as more hateful or some assaults as more biased. This belittles individual survivors; it categorizes them based on their group identity, not their personal rights as a human being.


In New York State, seven teens have been accused of a "hate crime" after a 38-year-old immigrant from Ecuador, Marcello Lucero, was attacked and stabbed to death. The assistant district attorney claims that the teens said, "Let's go find some Mexicans to -- -- up." She accuses them of a "well thought out crime targeting Hispanic males.
"

Say she's right. Say these seven teens murdered Marcello Lucero because he was the first Latin-looking man they saw and their agenda was to kill a Hispanic. That's appalling.
But would Marcello's death be less horrible if the boys killed him because they wanted to gang-rape his wife? Would it be less hateful if they'd stabbed him to death so they could have a joy ride in his car? If they hadn't hated his race but had hated his wealth or his job or his resemblance to a man who had molested one of them-would the crime have been less evil?

"Anti-hate" laws say yes. These laws segregate society into groups and say bias and hatred of some groups, like minorities, is worse than against others. A crime against a member of a protected group is punished more harshly than a crime against an individual not of those groups. This is identity politics at its worst.


As we warn time and again, these laws are ultimately dangerous not just because they further splinter society into separate social groups but because they criminalize bias, which is held in beliefs, thoughts and speech. There is no freedom more precious than the freedom to believe, think and speak as you choose, even if you choose racism or nationalism or to worship aliens. Hate crime laws shatter this precious freedom, invading the most personal space of thought and belief to legislate what are acceptable beliefs and biases and what are not.


An Associated Press article about Marcello Lucero's stabbing reviews a few other assaults on Hispanic immigrants and quotes leaders of Long Island Immigrant Alliance; they blame the public debate on immigration for fostering a culture of hate. A local pastor and immigrant advocate even charged that "some of the highest leaders of our community also have blood on their hands.
" Wow, now political commentators on illegal immigration are responsible for this brutal killing?

That kind of rhetoric is precisely what happens when prosecutors parse the "bias" behind a crime and prosecute beliefs, not just actions. Soon the realm of ideas and public debate is picked apart. Legitimate political speech is blamed for "inciting hate." Soon government regulates ideas and speech. Bloggers are arrested for writing about immigration. Social scientists face jail time for taboo (but possibly true) theories about race. Pastors are put in handcuffs for quoting from the Bible about sexual immorality. Sound like a draconian dictatorship that could never happen in the USA? I wish it were. This kind of crackdown has already happened in Canada, Europe and Australia. It will happen here, too, if we continue to march to the steady beat of hate crime arguments. It is a natural path: you stiffen penalties for the thoughts behind a crime; soon you prosecute the thoughts if they are said aloud, whether or not an actual crime has been committed. The speech and the thoughts become the crime. And then we live in Orwell's world.


In Burma, a 28-year-old poet and blogger has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for publishing an online poem mocking the country's dictator. The lines of his poem formed an acrostic calling the dictator "power crazy." He was arrested the day after publishing the poem. The blogger-now-prisoner owns three internet cafes in Burma's capitol. His mother was not allowed to attend his hearing, and as a detainee he was deprived of food and water during the proceedings.


Unfortunately, no American can view Burma's actions with indifference, as the fascist tactics of an outpost of civilization. Hardly. "Anti-hate" laws empower the most "civilized" governments of the world to imprison their citizens for online political and social speech. Just ask David Irving or Ernst Zundel, who served jail time for challenging establishment history of the Holocaust. As much as we might like to believe an American will never face a policeman's fist on his door for critiquing the government-or Judaism, or homosexual practices, or religion-on his blog-it can and will happen.


And it will happen through the seemingly righteous move of defining and prosecuting violent "hate crimes"-as if some crimes were based in kindness.

The greatest tyrannies of all are ignorance, apathy and fear. All that evil requires to prevail is for good men and women to do nothing, Remember who on Earth you are and rise up to end this madness.

What is it that you are really afraid of? Loss of your Freedom? Political condemnation? Torture? Death?
 

It is far better to die on your feet than to remain living on your knees! That's not a cliche. It is an idea that will never perish. It is your duty.

"Inside Job"

Just in case you've had your head in the sand for the past decade,

Here's a newsflash.. American Tax Dollars Are Paying / Have Paid For The Israeli Zionist Religious Genocide.

Their victims blood is on our hands.

Just to clarify, because I know some of you have inquired... It is Not the disdain for the Jewish people as a whole by any means, But Zionist Extremists represented in videos like the following.

Zionists, can be compared to the KKK Of the Jewish world, Except with trillions of dollars, and the worlds most powerful nation Backing it's Agenda.

The fact that Obama is, and has always been on the " We'll get those terrorists for nine eleven!!" bandwagon was the first sign I saw, that affirmed that I would not be voting for him.

anybody who has ever seen the magnitude of those two buildings Knows, that neither of them would EVER have fallen so perfectly, save for controlled demolition. Let alone the video evidence of the explosives detonating.. & then there's the whole world trade center building 7 self explanatory fiasco.

Obama Issued a Warning To Pakistan Today.

What was that about Change Barack? Yea.. quite a joke obama, too bad the u.s. is the punchline.

"Beginning on the US election day, Nov. 5th 2008,

Saturn and Uranus will begin a series of five oppositions, concluding in the summer of 2010. Astrologers have been speculating for the past year about what this could mean. Saturn is the planet that rules over the status quo, governmental and societal structures that hold chaos at bay, the limitations that we place on our world. Uranus is the planet that invites the chaos in to create radical changes in our world. It seeks new ways of thinking and innovative discoveries - it presides over inventions and new technologies. When these two planets oppose each other a tension is created between the old (Saturn) and the new (Uranus). "
